WANTED TO DIG
HISS KATE BAKER, OF TIE SOUH SIDE, AT
TEMPTED SUICIDE,
And Very Nearly Accomplished Her Purpose.
Carbolio Acid the Means Ussd-She
VIII Likely Recover.

Katie Baker, aged twsnty-One, q
pretty and vivacious South Side young
lady, attempted to commit suicide last
evening.
She is a daughter Of Christopher
Baker, miRe boss at the La Belle mill
coal mine. and who lives on South Nc
COuoch street, near the Schmulbaeh
brewery.
When the news Of the attempted
suicide was spread among the neigh
bors il created great excitement, but
great efforts were made 70 keep the
matter a secret.
About noon yesterday Mr.. Baker re-
proved his daughter about some trlVlaI
household matter. TIE young LADY,
being Of a peculiarly sensitive nature,
took it very hard. This Is the only
cause known for her attempt on her
own life.
After her father and brother had left
for their work at the LaBelle mill Katie
went 90 a ueighbor and said she would
kill herself. She. SAID she was tired OF
existence and wished she could lind
some way of killing herself. The
neighbor was greatly alarmed at
this, but thought 1t only
fit Of dependency which
would soon pass away. This lady re-
mopstrated with the girl, but Miss
Baker said she would Kill herself before
night. Before leaving the brother
noted that his sister talked deiectedlY
and feared the miEht carry out the
threat. Miss Baker ate no dinner after
her reproof. and told another member
of the family that she would kill herself
before night
The brother returned from work
about ten minutes OF five o'clock, and
observed that his sister acted strangely.
She soon said she wOnld lie down for a
time, as she was not feeling well! She
was accused Of attempting 70 kill her
self. aud she admitted that she had,
and also said she had swallowed four
mouthfuls of carbolic acid in its purity.
The family became greatly alarmed,
and Dr. Pipes was sent Tor. Ho arrived
about $50 o'clock, and thought the girl
W. dead. Her case was decidedly
peculiar one, as she acted like she had
q paralvIic stroke. She was as white
as a corpse, aud everyone about her
bedside had given her up. In this con-
diuon she remained unconscious for
over two hours. The doctor applied
his most potent reStoratiyes, and a
stomach pump was used, and nearly
half a pint OF sweet oil was admins
tered. Alter long and hard work the
doctor brought the young lady to con-
seriousness, but her throat and lips were
badly burned By the acid.
Her condition is decidedly critical,
though 10 is thought she wilirecOyer.
II is believed Miss Baker purchased
the acid 20 take her own life at q
South Side drug store.

The double breasted coat sketched is
lust the thing these days. The model
is in brown cloth and the seams are
bound. The back and sides are so
gored that the skirt is very full and
flares somewhat. The fronts are turned
back in revers aud have a pocket on
each side. The bretelle collar must be
cut deep enough TO meet the turn down
collar and constitute the lining Of the
same.
Redingotes are again worn. One
STYLED the Russian is especially coy,
as we'll aS stylish. 1t is Of heavy fleecy
deep red stuff and opens at the side
over the bust line as did the late pOpu-
lar Russian blouse. The waist part is
fitted snugly TO two inches below the
waist liue, has a double breasted row OF
buttons. From this point the skirt
falls free and loose, the side opening
being edged with fur. A collerette cape
is worn, coming over the shoulders and
N Getting at the collar, but not by some
inches az the lower edges. The TRAN
gle thus left is filed in by an under tab
Of the cOllarette, and tab and cape are
edged with fur. The same design is
carried out with less elaboration in a
garment which is nothing less than a
Russian blouse made to reach the bot
tom OF the skirt and provided with a
broad fitted belt which is snug over the
hips. A collarette fastening on the
shoulder is added. The side opening
OF the redingote is followed by an edge
OF seal or Of any shaggy fur. When
seal is used, the entire belt and collar
cite are made Of it. Such long cloaks
are made wide wasted and are richly
comfortable looking. FLORETrE.

barely dozen stocks showing change OF
over per cent compared with the closing

that the first move was o notice served
