FAST DAY,


BosToS. June a.-Gov Russell sent a
message 10 the House OF Representatives
Monday afternoon, enclosing a memorial
from the Essex County Congregational
Club, which has already been mentioned,
asking for the abolition of Fast day AS Il
day of religious observance, and for the
substitution of some other day for spring
holiday, leaving it to the voluntary action
of the religious part of the community To
observe Good Friday AS day similar in
spirit to what Fast day is nomnauy.
Mention was made in the document ac-
companying the message of the fact that
the change was approved by the presidents
of Williams, Amherst, Smith and Welfes-
ley Colleges, that President Eliot of Har-
ward had written in favor of the change,
that i, had the qualified approval of Prof.
Egbert c. Snyth of Andover, and of the
leading elergymcn of the Congregational
lists, nitarians, Baptists, Methodists, Epis-
cupalians, and other prominent men in the
state.
The tovernor framed his brief message
in such terms that il was evident that il was
evident that he sympathizcd with the pro-
posed abolition of this historic day in the
annals. Tho matter was re
ferred to the Judiciary committee. and thus
the way is open for legislative action for
the change of the custom to the facts Of
Fast Day observance AS is desired by those
who are agitating for the change.

STRANGlED BY HER HAIR.
Disappointed in Love Affairs a Wealthy Young
Society Lady Takes Her Lie.

New logk, June "A peculiar case of
suicide was reported in Brooklyn. II was
that of Miss Lillian Norfolk, one of the
handsomest, most talented and wealthy
young women of Long Island.
Her maid entered the bathroom, adjoining
her mistress bedroom, and was horror
stricken at the sight presented To her guze
In the bath tub, which was filled with
water, was the nude body of the young
woman. Her hair. of which in life she
was SO proud, had been wound three times
about her throat and fastened there. One
hand. the one which had turned the faucet
and started the water, clutched the highly
polished piece of metal in the grip of death.
The body lay partly upon one side and
was submerged in the water. There was
no evidence that the young woman had
suffered. The face looked calm and peace
ful as it lay there framed in the beautiful
black hair.
She had strangled herself with her own
hair. and in order to make death certain
had turned on the water, probably just be-
fore losing consciousness from strangula-
ton. Various causes are given for the
deed, prominent among which is a disap-
pointment in love.

MiSNEApoLis, MINI, June 2.-Today 5
trains brought in the castodians of both the
Harrison and Blaine hooms The execu.
tive committee, ii has been given out, has
agreed on J. Sloat Fassett for temporary
chairman and Col. Charles W. johnson for
temporary secretary. Both are Blaine
men.
The early arrival of the Harrison van
guard has proved great surprise 10 the
Blaine men. They were not expecting the
Harrison boomers until tomorrow. and their
arrival yesterday and this morning has
opened the preliminary skirmish a day
sooner than was expected.
The plan of the Harrison campaign, as
far AS it has heen disclosed, is first 10 make
a vigorous and personal warfare ON Plat,
Quay. Foraker and other prominent anti
Harrison leaders, and second, il il becomes
necessary, 10 make an aggressive attack on
Blaine himself so that il will be impossible
for the secretary to permit the use of his
name.
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin was an
other Harrison boomer who WAS on the
ground today. He declares that Blaine will
prove himself insincere if he accepts any
thing less than unanimous nomination,
which he cannot get. Spooner will second
Depew's nomination of Harrison in all prob
ability.
