TO do and raised my offer to Baron do
Reinach from 2,0O0,000 to 100000 francs,
which he accepted"
you mean to say, ,taen that your visit to
NJ. de Freycinet caused you to decide upon
asking the payment"
Exactly. | resisted at first, but after
my talk with NJ. dc Freycinet considered
it my duty to give way. NJ Clemenceau

Baron de Eeinach Subsequently NJ. Flo
quet said to me why do you not pay
that money to Baron de Reinachy If 1
were you would do so and so'- advising
me to aecede to Relnach's demands. They
were very polite about the matter; they
did not take me by the nape of the neck,

familiar tone as il with II view to impress
the jury in his favor and to throw the
whole odinm of the Panama scandal upon
the government.
The scene in the court room was remark

Attempt at Suicide.
Might Have Been Prevented
[From the Boston Post.]

From Inc Boston 1OSL
While the walks in the Public Garden
we're crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were Mortified to see a man suddenly plunge
a knife repeatedly into his throat and fall TO
the ground.
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about SO years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor-
nation regarding himself He was taken 10
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable lie
will recover. About 8 o'clock last night
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results of mental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system
People who have dizziness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
