AFTER HER DAUGHTERS MANNER.
Mrs. Eliza Shy, with Load of Trouble,
Attempts Suicide.

Mrs Eliza Shy, aged fiftytwo years,
residing at No. 256 West Pearl street,
made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide
yesterday by taking morphine. Six months
ago her only son left home for California
TO seek his fortune. she has not seen
him since and this grieved her very much
Several months ago her only daughter
committed suicide by taking morphine on
account of a faithless lover. Mrs. Shy
brooded over this. Her husband died many
years ago, and she often said recently tc
her friends that she had nothing to live
for. Yesterday morning, about 10 O'Clock,
she left home and returned about 10:30
O'Clock. She went into her room and laid
her clothing and also the gown which her
daughter had worn when she died. on the
bed. She then took 10 cents worth of
morphine which she had bought when
away from home a short time before She
what she had done and requested that she
be buried in her daughters gown.
The neighbors were confused and did
not know what to do Mrs. Shy lay down
the bed and was not molested until
after o'clock. Drs. Eastman and Carbon,
of the City Dispensary. were summoned
and they worked with her until after 10
o'clock last night before she gave any
signs of recovery. While a sister of Mrs
up artificial respiration, she bent the left
arm back too far and the bone of the left
arm between the shoulder and the elbow
snapped. The physicians dressed the break
after they saw that Mrs. Shy would re-
cover from the effects of the morphine.

THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
Applicants for Lewis II. JOnes's Place
Whom He Fayors.

Prof. Lewis III. Jones has returned from
Asbury Park, where ne went to attend the
national convention of teachers. He was
glad enough TO get away from there, as
he was besleged on every side. There were
hundreds of teachers who had heard of his
resigna zion superintendent of the public
schools Of this city, and he was piled with
questions. Some wanted his influence to
gain the position for themselves and others
wanted 10 know all about matters pertinent
TO his -sition. Numerous letters have been
sent to this city To influential citizens, to
members OF the School Board and others
about the position which is 20 be filled. Mr.
Jones offered the position in the
Cleveland schools through Mr.. Draper his
predecessor, who has become the president
OF the State University of Illinois. When
quainted with Mr.. Draper and the schools
was his choice for the place made vacant
by him.
Mr.. Jones thinks Mr.. Bright who is the
superintendent of the schools of Cook coun-
~, Illinois, would be fine man for the
place. Mr.. Bright receives a salary of So
600 a year. The salary in the Indiana polls
schools is less than that OF any other like
city, and the pay of the teachers is also
less. Mr.. Jones will receive 81. 500 more in
his new position than he received here
The board Will have an enormous number
10 choose from I'm making a selection on ac-
count OF the many names which have been
presented in one way and another liz will
take up the matter at its next messing

ALL WANT TO SEE SMITH.
Sheriff Emmett Has to AllOt Time to
the Jail Callers.

II was reported last night that Sheriff
Emmett and his jailer, Jerry Collins, had
a discussion and some difficulty yesterday
over the matter of Myrtle Overturf calling
at the county Jail to Winnie Smith,
and remaining there several hours to talk
to him. She has been calling to see Smith
regularly every day, and generally talked
to him over an hour. Yesterday she called
as usual She was admitted by Collins and
shown to Smiths cell. She talked with him
for some time Sheriff Emmett noticed her
when she began to talk 10 Smith, and
when she did not leave after over an
hours conversation he went to her and
told her that it was the custom of the jail
that no visitors should be allowed to talk
to prisoners that long. He told her that she
would be permitted to call the next day,
however. She left Smith, and, on going
to the reception room, met CoIllns. de
asked her if she had finished talking to
Smith She said she had not because some
one had ordered her to leave. Collins told
her that she could talk TO Smith as long
as she pleased, and gave her permission TO
go back to him. En- route 10 Smiths cell
she met Emmett. He asked her where she
was going, and she replied that she was
returning to see Smith by the permission
of the jailer in the office. Emmett restated
his orders, and went to the reception room
and demanded who had given the woman
permission to see Smith contrary TO his
orders. Collins replied that he did, and a
discussion arose. 1t was stated that both
men were very angry, but did not come TO
blows. AS Collins continued to work until
o'clock the time for him to go off duty,
IL is supposed that the matter had been
smoothed over.
Sheriff Emmett said last night that there
had been no trouble between himself and
Collins, but that he had merely spoken 10
him in the presence of number who were
waiting in the reception room TO see Smith
M allow caller to speak TO
Smith at length, but TO give each caller
an equal show and a limited amount of
time in which to speak to Smith. He said
that Myrtle Overture was not directly re-
ferred to in his remarks to Collins. He de-
MED that there had been any warm words
between himself and Collins.

Wars Modern Horrors

Various experiments with the new
rifles, which have recently taken place
in Germany, have demonstrated in a
very conclusive manner that another
war would practically be one of an
initiation. A well-known French
writer, in an article which he devOtes
to the subject, says that the battlefield
would at thee end of the engagement be
covered with two or three hundred
thousand eorpses all crushed and bro
ken, and would be nothing but a vast
charnel house. No one would be left
to bury the dead, and pestilence would
i'm its turn sweep away the country
people. Pointing the moral, he adds
that the man-Emperor, King or Pres
ident of Repubiie-who, under these
conditions, would expose the human
race to such fate wauld he the greatest
criminal that the world had ever seen
1t is tolerably plain that the horrors
and the butchery which a war would
entail are becoming more and more
recognized, and that the terrible vista
thus opened out is exercising sobering
effect on those who were formerly wont
to discuss eventualities with a light
heart.-LoHioa Telegraph.
