ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
J. E. Durkee Attempts To Take His Own Life in
 Los Angeles.

The news was received in TOmbston on Sunday last that J. E. Durkee, in { fit of mental alteration, attempted t' kill himself at Los Angeles. No par ticulars being received, it was deemed best to say nothing of it until the stor. had been substantiated. The Los An geles Express of Saturday afternoon publishes the particulars of the affair which leaves no doubt of his intention to do bodily harm to himself. Int particulars as published in the Express are:
 J. E. Durkee, the well-known ranch or and cattle man created sensation in the Nadeau house at about II :4C today.
 In a fit of melancholy, accelerated by intoxicating drinks, he attempted to cut his throat and end his earthly career. Fortunately the act was not successful, although the man had ample opportunity to perform the deed. The weapon used was huge knife-one that might be used to cut bread or carve roast.
 While the housekeeper was making the rounds on the second floor of the hotel she looked into room located near the head of the stairs leading from the office. She was mortified at seeing a man standing before the glass with a knife in his hand and actingas though he was about to commit bodily violence. She gave the alarm, and in a moment H. w. Chase, the proprietor of the house, was at the room, and was great ly surprised to see J. E. Durkee there, and it was he who was acting like a mad man.
 Being we'll acquainted with MT. Durkee. MT. Chase immediately quiet ed him, and no doubt he arrived in time, for Durkee had already made a stab at his throat and was prepared to kill himself. He told MT. Chase that he had determined to take his own life. He assignel ] as reason, that his finances were in an unsatisfactory con. dition, etc. Durkee was partially in tOxicated and talked as man would while we'll under the influence of liquor. However, he was quieted down and in few minutes was conducted down to the street, leaving through the First street entrance.
 The report that a man had commit ted suicide spread rapidly and in few minutes thu: hotel office was crowded with people anxious to gain particulars and see the man.
 MT. Durkee is man in middle life, has large property interests in this county and in Arizona. He is mar ried and the news of his rash attempt to take his life will be received with regret by his large circle of friends. A year or so ago MT. Durkee was at the Nadeau and gave evidence that he was not in his right mind."

THE Telegraph tells us that Don Cameron Paterson, a nephew of United States Senator Cameron of Pennsyl- vania, has been sentenced to ten years in the Missouri penitentiary. He worked off forged checks for over $2,0OO. The idea of a man commit- ting forgery in Missouri, when he could have done it with safety in a civilized state, seems sufficient evidence that he should have been sent to an asylum instead of the penitentiary.

Another Accident.

George McPherson was quite severe ly hurt yesterday while returning from Tucson. When few miles this side of Tucson and while the train was ill motion, he dropped a $5 piece on the ground from his hand. He was stand- ing on the platform at the time and without second thought he went after the money. In alighting he lost his balance and struck the ground all over, cutting his head quite severely. His brother Joe, accompanied by Frank Moore, went down to Benson in response to a telegram and returned this morning at 5 o'clock. They found the injured man resting easily and apparently unhurt with the ex- ception of his bruised head which seemed to cause him to be irrational and out of his right mind.
 Another story is that George did not want to leave Tucson but that he was persuaded against his wishes to get aboard, and at the first opportunity jumped off. At any rate he is in Tombstone and in good order with the exception ot sore head, and will be on duty again in few days.

THE U. s. Supreme court met on Monday. The only business transact ed was the admission of applicants to practice before the court and another announcement by Justice Field that the most important of the cases ad- vanced for argument next Monday were postponed until the second Mon- day in November. This step is taken for the reason that it is desired that they shall be heard by full bench, and the probability is that all the justices will not be present next Mon- day.

NEEDS AID.
The Relief Society Makes It's An

The Relief Society Makes Its An
nual Appeal.
The relief society makes its custom
airy annual appeal to the people of ST.
Paul to aid it in the general good work.
ID. X. NoyeS. treasurer, says:
Our general relief society, 141 East
Ninth street, has been enabled thus far
this winter to meet all demands made
upon it. in good part at least. but it can
not longer do so unless our citizens give
toIt promptly willing and generous aid.
We all believe that we are entering
upon more prosperous times, but must
not forget that times have been hard and
that the last persons to be reached by
better times will be the very poor of
our city. More real help has been given
by our society this year than ever be-
fore in its history: and yet we can and
ought to do more for it and give more.
The measure of our society's usefulness
depends upon the generosity of our clti-
Zens and their sympathy with us in our
work Of relieving the worthy, yetneedv
and suffering poor of our city. Cold
weather is now here, and although
Thanksgiving gifts were free and gen.
erous, yet our treasury is nearly empty.
DO not wait to be called upon for aid,
but send in your gifts to the treasury.
st. Paul never yet failed to respond to a
call for needed funds for its own poor
people,

cots, that the shadow of Peter might
fall upon them, and they e healed.
The question may we'll be asked, why
was Peter able to manifest such power
in healing the sick? Was itnor because
he had forsaken the old idea of per-
sonal. physical power. and had grasped
the divine idea that the Master had
tho ught him? Was not the miracle of
he allng, performed by Peter and John
at the gate called Beautiful" as grea
as any done by the Master?
And again. WAS not the raising of Dor
cas- or Tabitha from the dead as good
proof that Christ was with Peter to as
great an extent as He was with Jesus at
the raising of JairuS' daughter. or the
raising OF LazeruS2 Then if the truth
was as potent when spoken by Peter
aad Paul as it was when spoken by
0eSus, why is it not as etfectual in doing
good today as when spoken by them? l
Will tell you why.

nave not the confidence in truth that
they had, or We would do the worksthey
did.
We are looking to see what is going to
harm US, even while doing good. The
serpent OF personal sense is continually

another power called evil.
Island just as long as we are vacillating
between these two thoughts we cannot
nope to be Christ-like.
JoJesus wOrshiped the Father in all
things; his sense of personality was de-
stroyed that the impersonal Christ
might appear.
When this was accomplished in the
disciples they did the work the Master
did, and not until then.

Sir Edwin Arnold is to be at the Peo-

iSed. Sir EdWin's readings have been

sale for tonight has been very large. but
1t is said there are plenty of good seats
still for sale. The entertainment
Is under the auspices of the Peoples
church lyceum, the management of
which has placed the admission
prices at most reasonable figures. There
is absolutely no reason, therefore, why
any one. on the score of expense, should
be prevented from hearing Sir Edwin
Arnold. 1t is very seldom the st. Paul
public are offered the opportunity of
hearing so distinguished a man. Sir
Edwin Arnold is not only great jour
naliSt, guiding the destinies of one of
the most powerful newspapers i'll the
world, but he is also a great poet, and,
without doubt. the greatest living

Menroe and Barry. each in at 20 points,
will open the days sport at o'clock.
Monroe is looked upon as good thing,
although in the pool selling Thayer, a
scratch man at 100, appears to have the
favor. But certain it is that Monroe,
with fairly good luck, will be in the
van, making the leaders play close
billiards. His play is generally open
table, although he has a fairly good
nurse stroke In the evening there will
be three games. The first will be be-
tween Monroe and partridge 200, Clark
(75) and Green C70) and WiImot Q0O)
aud Capt. Hardacre (7O). They will
ali be hard contests if the players are in
usual form. Clark has not started yet,
and is au unknown quantity. In his
practice he plays easy and sure, and
counts Up run upon run with nonchal-
ance. amazing some of his competitors.
Partridge is likely to afford some amuse-
ment. He plays peculiar game, and
places heart and soul in the struggle.
No one can work harder than he does,
but it may trouble him somewhat to
avoid foul shots. Wilmot is a prime
favorite among the experts. He is cap
able of great performances. A half
century mark is ordinary when
the balls get to coming his
way, and in his practice yesterday
he made some surprising masses.
There is considerable money in the
pool box at one to three OH him, and his
hackers are perfectly confident. The
same odds are placed on Thayer. Part
ridge takes the place of Callahan, who is
prevented from participating in the
sport by sickness in his family. Gala
han, by the way, was favorite with
the talent and good odds would have
been placed OH him had he been able
to play. He doesn't make phenomenal
runs, but he is all the time making
scores that swells his string immensely.
Capt. Hardacre is dark horse in the
contest, and lie is rated a dangerous
element. He plays the old-faShiOned
system of natural angles and is certain
of crOSS-table shot. He never nurses.
but keeps the worries sporting around
the green field in lively style. He shows
up great in practice, and has the only
game played in the tourney to his
credit. And Barry, at his allowance,
may prove troublesome before the Sc
rieS progresses much further.

cause they sacrificed for us. The law
of sacrifice rightly understood is the
way of life, not an attempt to appease
an angry God. And then comes the
final thought, for, having seen that God

that when sacrifice is TRANSPORTED by
love it becomes joy instead of hardship.
