went into saloon last night and called
for a glass of settler, into which he
poured enough chIoral hydrate to kill
four men. he drank the mixture. and,
calmly announcing that he would be
dead in five minutes. proposed a dice
game. Three minutes afterward he
became confused, put his hand con-
vulsively to his head and fell forward to
the floor. The bystanders thought he
was joking when he talked of dying,
being misled by his desperate GOODNESS.
He was taken home and died in an hour.
Two years ago he married Miss Berth,
of Bowling Green, Ky. Infelicity
reigned in their home, and week ago
she left him without word. Yester-
day he received notice that divorce pro-
ceedings would be begun. His rash act
was the result. He was travelling
salesman, handsome, popular, gifted
and widely known.

ROUGH ON CHINESE.
Restrictive Legislation Proposed
in the House.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., March l7.-An
effort will be made tomorrow to secure
the passage III the house of another
anti-Chinese bill, more restrictive in its
provisions than any of the measures
now on the statute book. This is the
Geary bill, reported by the house COM
mittee OH foreign affairs. This meas.
ure seeks to keep out practically all
Chinese merchants and professional
men, as well as laborers. Diplomatic
representatives and their servants, and
few others who may be permitted
under license to travel in this country
and to exhibit Chinese productions, are
the only persons who, under the terms
of the bill, are to be permitted to enter
the United States. The bill proposes
to exclude hereafter those Cinnamon
how resident in the United States who
may leave and then ask to return.
There is minority of the committee
opposed to the passage of the measure
as contraventiOn OF existing treaty
stipulations, but it is believed vote
can soon be seGured.
