WANTED TO DIE.
strange Attempt at Suicide by a
ST. Paul Woman.

st. Paul Woman.
A handsome, middle-aged and we'll
dressed woman made frantic ATTEMPT
to end her life and sorrows in the river
below Riverside park about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. She came into the
park about 3 o'clock, and, seating her.
self in one of the rustic seats, began
sobbing bitterly. The park policeman
noticed her, but did not intrude on her
grlef. She remained seated about an
hour, when, as though actuated by some
sudden and powerful impulse. she arose
and hurried down the steep embank
ment to the river. Without a moments
hesitation she plunged into the water.
but fortunately it was not deep enough
to submerge her. Willis Herrick, an
employe OF the Herzogg Manufacturing
along the bank, together with several
companions, when the woman Jumped
into the water, and lie immediately fol-
lowed.
When he reached her she was endeav-
oring to drown herself by lying down in
the water. and it was only by exercising
his utmost strength that he succeeded
III dragging her to the shore before she
had accomplished her purpose. She
wept bitterly. and implored Herrick to
leave her to her fate. He, however,
turned her over to an officer, who took
her to the South side police station,
where She gave her name as Rosabei
Patterson, and said she lived on Wau-
couta street, st. Paul. A diligent search
i'll the st. Paul directory failed to dis
cover the name Or residence. and if is
supposed that what she gave was ficti-
tlous. She declined to give any reason
for her act, and. as there was no charge
against her. she was allowed to depart.
and took an interurban car for st. Paul.

BLACK BoB's HIDE.
The Effect Sharp Razor Had

ANY one who had the felicity of see
ing Police Surgeon Gibson sew up a lot
OF wounds in "Black Bob" James, head
and throat at the police station last
night, must have gone away with the
Impression that a darkey's hide is
thicker than thatof rhinosceros upper

In charlie HamiltOn's ''Shades' saloon,
on Inlrd avenue south, near Third
street. He got into fight about
$3.50 last night with st. Paul
Iuilman porter named Dave GethreI,
alias Savette. The two got into a
dispute i'll the rear of the saloon over
some minor matter, and soon genuine
hgnt was III progress. Both Gethrel
ana James are powerful negroes, and
the fight was hot one. Gethrel, how
ever, feared he would get the worst of
1t, SO he pulled razor from his pocket
and slashed away at Black Bob's head.
rms ended the fight, Black Bob falling
TO the ground, weak from the loss Of
blood, and Gethrel made his escape
through the alley.
Black Bob was taken to the central
station and Police Surgeon Gibson
called for. He found cut running
from the right ear clear across the
!ugnlar. 1t was fully an eighth of an
inch deep. but, strange to say, the knife
had not penetrated beneath the hide,
and not drop of blood flowed from it.
But his head was one maze of cuts and
slaShes, some of them eight inches long
and as deep as the bone. Black Bob
revived after being doused with little
cold water, and sat through the doctors
scraping and sewing without a muir
muir.
Gethrel. no doubt, went directly to
st. Paul. and the police of that city
were notified to keep lookout for him.

Therefore, there will be an excellent
reason for sending the bill again and

MEN BORN UNEQUAL.
Rev. F. o. Holman Says That's at
the Bottom Of Labor Troubles.


Last night at the Hennepin avenue
NJ. E. church Rev. F. o. Holman again
took up the troubles between capital and
labor. MIR. Holman took the ground
that the Unborn differences between men
are at the bottom of most the trouble. 1t
is mistake to suppose that all men are
created equal. One man who is poor
thinks that he could have risen to the
same emineEce as some power in the
land had he the chance. but his reason
ing is erroneous. The laboring man
works ten hours for SITS. The railroad
president rides to his Office in a carriage,
works about four hours and is paid
500 day. The railroad president gets
that much more money than the labor
ing man because he belongs to class of
men who are scarce. The man who
can administer the affairs of railroad
Is not born every day. God made him
the superior of the laboriDg man in in
tellect.
But Rev. F. O. Holman's main point
was that man, in the abstract, is a
bundle of selfshness. Look out for
Nol'' is the rule that governs the lives
of the rich and the poor alike. The
labOringman is as selfish as the
capitalist; the union man as self
ish as the nOn-uniOn man. The
employer wants to get his help as
cheaply as possible because he is sell
fish. The laborer wants more wages
for the same reason. The union man
says that his employer is mean because
he will not submit to the request of the
union. The employer thinks the union
man is just as mean because he wants
to dictate the wages. The union man
is as selfish as any one when it comes
to work and wages. The union men
never worry about the non-union men.
On the contrary. to them all non-union
men are ''scabs" and should be denied
a place ION earth. Mr.. Holman's solu-
ton for the existing differences be-
tween capital and labor is more religion
among both employers and employed.

THE MIDLOTHIAN SEAT.
Mr.. Balfour May Contest It With
Mr.. Gladstone.

LONDON, July 1.-THE movement to
induce Mr.. Balfour to contest Midlo4
THAN against Mr.. Gladstone, when the
latter resigns his seat on accepting Of
fee, is quite a persistent one. 1t has
two pretexts: First, Mr.. Balfour's prom.
inence, making him fit antagonist for
the Liberal leader: second. that Balfour
owns estates contiguous to Midlothian.
and has various interests in that
district, thus giving him some
excuse for seeking the SURFACES
of the people there. 1t is not considered
probable, however. that Balfour will
consent to fight Mr.. Gladstone in this
way. He is on very friendly personal
terms with his great political opponent.
Failing to obtain Mr.. Balfour's consent
to run, the Tories will probably put Col.
Wauchope up again. The whole ma
chinery of the party will be brought into
play. and it is thought by the leaders
that there is good chance to overcome
Mr.. Gladstone'S first majority of only
about 700. Mr.. Gladstone's friends re-
greet his recent Boosting language in le--
gard to the church vote in the division.
They point to the fact that 90 per cent
of the electorate of Midlothian are
churchmen, many of whom will perhaps
sink their ideas in favor of Irish auton-

"THE BANDIT KING"

j. H. Wallick and company opened at
the Bijou last night in 1.-THE Bandit
King" The play is made up of the in
constituencies, the bombast, the exagger-
atoms and the firearms that are always
to be found in the border drama. The
play is no worse and no better than its
class. The hero always appears at the
right time to rescue the heroine from
the hands of lawless characters, and he
always gets the "drop" on the other
fellow when he pulls his gun. In the
end he marries the heroine, places her
on the saddle behind him and rides off.
The company is like the company found
producing this class of plays. Some
horses appear in the play, however, and
they can be praised consistently. This
piece will be superseded the last half of
the week to 1.-THE Cattle King"

by the failure OF the Akely company to

defense that the fire that burned the

caused by the sparks, had been extin-
