PALMA CLUB.
A New Feature That is Likely to be
Popular.

A New Feature That is Likely to be
Popular.
n A uew feature of the Palma Club is the
CLUB night" AT a recent meeting of the
directors it was decided 10 set apart
every Tuesday evening for the observance
of this feature. The members argued
that club life IN its truest sense
implied a coneenial atmosphere. The
benefits, claimed the directors, derived
from a healthful, physical and mental
recreation were supplemented by per-
sonal contact among the members-by
mutual exchange of ideas-by that
congenial fellowship which is one of the
chief objects of the club. With these
ideas in view CLUB night" was resolved
upon.
The new feature is approved by every
one, and will undoubtedly prove great
success.

Eugene f. Smith, of New York, who
owns a handsome cottage ON Sixth

the beach last evening. The sea was
unusually heavy.
As he reached the lighthouses at the
foot of Third avenue he heard cries OF
distress, and discovered woman battling
with the waves just outside the breakers.
Hurriedly throwing off his coat he
sprang into the surf and swan out to the
drowning woman's assistance. The
undertow was very heavy, and it was
with difficulty that he brought her
ashore.
She was unconscious, and Mr.. Smith
carried her TO the Victoria Hotel. near by.
where restor6tives were applied by Dr.
Williamson.
At first she refused to reveal her iden-
tity, but being urged by Chief>of Police
Bailey said her name Helen Grace Dow

A VICTIM OF MELANCHOLIA.
Miss Downer, who is twenty-four years
Did and very attractive. has had brain
trouble for the past two years. OF late
and the terrible pains in her head have
produced melancholia.
Two years ago she spent the Summer
at the Cadwallader cottage here.
This afternoon Miss Downer carefully
attired herself In one of her best dresses
and secretly left her fathers house. She
carried with her purse anu an um Drella.
She purchased a ticket for Asbury Park
and boarded the $3.50 express
On the train with her and IN the same
car were Chief of Police Bailey and
Broker Smith, her rescuer. 1t was dark
when Miss Downer arrived.
She made her way directly to the
beach. Raising her umbrella, she walked
up the beach in the face of the storm
until she arrived at Third avenue.
She then left the board walk, and walk
ing to the waters edge threw her hat.

she waded out till the water reached her
waist. The undertow was strong, and
she was thrown off her feet.
She was rapidly being carried to sea,
when she uttered the screams heard by
Broker Smith,
10 the doctor, Miss Downer said that
she came here with the deliberate inten-
tion of committing suicide. She chose
this method after careful reflection, think
ing she would be carried out to sea and
her body never recovered.
When she was thrown off her feet by
the undertow she recovered her senses
and repented. She then attempted to re-
gain the shore, but was unable to SO do.
Miss Downer said that her home life
was pleasant, but that her brain troubles
were more than she could bear. She
promised never to repeat the attempt,
and frequently sebbed, "Oh, am so glad
did not drown" So the effect of her
plunge was rather beneficial than other
