CUT HIS THROAT.
A TeamSter Grows Weary
of Existence.
The Deed Committed in the Presence
of Three Witnesses-Sep
From Wife and Children.

John Began, teamster who resided at
219 Brannan street with a brother and
three sisters. cut his throat last night with
a razor. The cash extended almost from
ear 10 ear. Bogan's parents died a short
time ago. His friends soon after noticed
that he had become a slave TO drink. and
when he welded the razor last night he
was intoxicated. He was with Edward
Burr and two other mpanions, W no saw
his condition and took him to his home at
9 80 o'clock. While his friends were re-
monstrating with him Began seized a razor
and fell upon Burr, who got out of his
way with cOmmendable celerity.
Began then tOuk the razor and sashed
his throat three times. He severed the
larynX, the external iugular vein and sew
eFa small arteries.
The witnesses to the horrible scene
raised an Outcry which was heard by Bo-
ms sisters. who hurried TO the apart
ment ana found their brother weltering n
pool of blood on the floor. Jack Huey,
neighbOr, was summoned by the dis
| tressed friends of the injured man, and he
| promptly bound pillow about the gaping
throat. A call for the patrol wagon was
turned in and Bngan was hurried 10 the
Receiving Hospital, where DR.. Samuels
did all that could be done for the sufferer
Began, in a thin piping voice. broken by
gasps, informed the operating surgeon that
he had cut his throat because times were
hard and life was a burden which he no
longer cared to bear. He had been sepa-
rated from his wife and three children for
almost year, and ii is supposed that this
enlargement had something to do with
his intemperate habits.
DR.. Samuels thought that Began might
recover. A priest was called late in the
evening and administered the last sacra-

JUDGE CONLAN COLLAPSES.

Judge Conlan OF Police Court had the
appearance of being a sick man when be

Ing. The stencil in the courtroom was
sitting, and when the windows were
thrown open more powerful stencil
poured in from the outside. Underneath
the windows of the Judges court, close to
the window of the reporters room down
stairs, are three large ash barrels, into
which all the refuse Of the City Prison is
poured. The stencil from these barrels is
always offensive to the Olfactory nerves,
but Tuesday night and yesterday morning
it was simply overpOwering.

demanded, and upon its result being an

clared the mreting adjourned. After this
came the trouble.
1t was claimed by one of the Directors
last night that contributing cause to the

Robert Harrison, the attorney charged
with contempt of court by Judge Hebbard,

set aside Judge Hebhard's injunction and
deliberately moved Tor the insolvency
proceedings which came before Judge
Levy.

Why 1t Ls ga Tabbie Cat"

Some writer's on the curiosities of
animal nomenclature tell us that the
reason we call feline of certain
markings of color "tabby'' cat is
because Tabitha was the goddess of
the crooked clawed species. Wag-
ner's "Names and Their Meaning"
although it has a splendid depart
ment on the nicknames of birds,
does not refer to those applied to the
animal species at all, therefore it
will be of no use to consult that work
to find out why ''tabhy" cat bears
its unique name, or why a s.Jerusa-
lem" donkey is so called. In
curious old work (priuted in London
in 16J6) entitled, Names Applied to
Animate Things I find the follow
ing, which seems to explain the
tabby cat enigma: The terme sTabbie
Cat is derived from Atab, a famouse
streete in Bagdad, cittie of the
Orient. This streete is inhabited by
the manufacturers of silken stuff
called 'atabi,' the waved markings of
the watered silke resem bling a cats
coat. From that we call all cats so
marked 'atab,' 'atabbie,' or simply
'tabbie' cats.-St. Louis Republic.

WHERE THE LORDS \
ME EFT.

Splendid Chamber 100 Feet Long and
Richly Decorated and Furnished.
What especially strikes visitor
on entering the house of lords for
the first time is the rich splendor OF
the chamber. says the New York
Herald. 1t is noble apartment, 100
feet long by 45 broad and As high,
splendidly adorned and carved, light
ed by twelve richly decorated win
dows. All round run galleries, pro.
tected by handsome brass ratings.
The end gallery is that set apart
for the use of strangers. 1t has the
press gallery just in front. The gal
lerles that run along the sides are
for the use Of distinguished person
ages. When the princess OF Wales
and other ladies of the royal family
attend to hear the debates they in
variably view the scene from the al
cove OF the gallery to the left Of the
throne. The throne itself is richly
gilt chair directly facing the strang-
ers' gallery: 1t stands on slightly
raised dais and is divided off from
the rest of the house by hand rail.
From this part Of. the chamber privy
councillors and the sons of peers who
have the entree usually watch the
proceedings, and on the night of any
great debate many members of the
house OF commons also may be seen
here.
The seats in the house of lords are
al ro1,oh So L
except that rows of cross benches
face the woolsack. It is there that
the prince Of Wales and the dukes of
Edinburgh, Connaught and Cam bridge
ordinarily sit, this part of the house
indicating independence of political
allegiance to either of the great
parties. Occasionally some noble
lord who may have broken with his
party finds temporary seat here,
too, as Lord Derby did in the session
Of 1879. The lord chancellor, who
acts as speaker or chairman of the
upper house, sits in front of the
throne on the so-called woolsack.
This is really a sort of ottoman, and
seat compared with which an arm
chair such as the speaker of the house
of commons is allowed must be luxu-
rious ease. The peers of the minis
terial party sit to the lord chancel-
lor's right; those in opposition 10 the
left. BY a curious custom in the
procedure of the house, whenever
the lord chancellor speaks in debate,
he: has to step two PAGES to the left
Of, and away from, the woolsack-an
odd idea, for it places him-a mem
Der of the party in power and a cabi-
net minister-on the opposition side
of the house.
