David Keefe, painter living at 637
Mississippi street, attempted suicide at
his home eariy Sunday morning, by cut
ting his throat with razor. The man
has been out OF employment for some
time, and it is said the dependency thus
accustomed led him to dissipation, and
the effect of this TO stats Of temporary
insanity. About o. m. his wife awoke
and was Mortified to see her husband ly-
ing on the floor covered with blood and
horrible cash il his throat. A phys
lcian was speedily summoned who did all
that was possible for the unfortunate
man, and then had him removed to the
city hospital. 1t is feared his injuries
will prove fatal
The political bee is commencing to
buzz about the court hou5s corridors,
and politicians generally have welcome
FOR everybody. 1t is almost conceded
that Col. Keller will be the Republican
for mayor, but the ''silk stock
ing" element of the Republican party do
not affiliate any too we'll with the So
called kid contingent. Comprising as they
do Reese, Johns and Lamb they would
be likely to make things sultry for the
''silk stocking" element. Be this as it
may, the friends OF Robt. A. Smith, the !
probable Democrat nominee, declare
they will not see his honor left, and their
opinions are backed by substantial argu-
ments and skilled practical tactics.
Col. D. A. Monfort stated to the cham
ber of commerce Wednesday that the

S2l, ZOO, of which amount between $s16, 900 !
and $1,000 had been secured, and it was |
desirable that the balance be raised at !
once, as he wished to call a meeting of
5he state board very SOON and wished to !
report thu amount as all raised. The !
colonel desired the chamber to take some
action, and the matter was referred to
the committe on Worlds Fair, consisting
Of Gen. Sanbcrn, F. Driscoll, President
Stone and Secretary Tallmadge. H. F.
Stevens was substituted for Mr. Driscoll,
who is out of town, aud the committee
anticipate prompt response for the bal
days.
When Mr.. Duncan B. Hnrrison's new
play "Honest Hearts and Willing Hands"
was first made known. the ''strongest''
actor in the world made his appearance,
as tue co-star of the author of the drama.
1t goes without saying that Mr.. John l.
Sullivan is not great actor, but he gives
evidence of latent ability to become a
gooc one in time. Most men in the Or
binary walks of life would not do as we'll
if put to the test. Many many of great
er pref .Esional pretensions do little bet
ter. He has the first requisite to success
in the part he would naturally play if he
remains on the stage, manliness, and
with experience will come the ease that
will make him entirely satisfactory to
his audiences If he is not an actor it is
not impossible that he may become one.
