There we're number of suicides in
the city during the week. Almost stimuli
taneo1asly with the autopsy in the case
OF j. B. Van Pelt, the travelling man who
cut his throat ut the Hughes institute
for the cure of the liquor habit W. W.
Garrison, a travelling agent for The
Louis Snider's Sons Co., the Cincinnati
paper makers, and also patient at the
same institute, was found dying in his
bed at the Nicollet house, by W. L.
Folds, who called TO see him about 10
O'Clock Tuesday morning. Some small
boxes with the label "morphine' told
the story. A messenger was dispatched
for DR.. F. A. Dunsmoor, who worked for
an hour with stomach pump in futile
attempt to restore the dying man. 1t
was about noon when the pulse stopped,
and further human aid was impossible.
About the same time the coroner was
notified that Jens Hanso a Dane en-
ployed in the thresher works at Hopkins,
had committed suicide by shooting him
self in she head with gun. Hanson
leaves wife and two children. Mrs.
Hanson was sent to the insane hospital
several years ago, and he has had deal
of misfortune. This probably accounts
for his act.

and shrewd Irish lad, is told
in chaste language, clearly and we'll,
with considerable attractive embelhsh-

and legitimately in intensity to the final
denouement in the fifth act, when the
opportune arrival of the light hearted
Irish lad puts an end to an execution
which has been ordered of the hero and
lover, falsely accused by the villain of a
crime. The novelty is chiefly in the
senic effect and an absence of the bois-

garded as necessary adjunct to the
Irish drama. The most striking of the
