USED THREE RAZORs.
A. NJ. Van Hauften's Desperate Attemp
Suicide With RaZOrs.

Suicide With haZOrs.
A determined effort at suicide was made
by A. M. Van Hauften, at the boarding
house on the corner of Church and Fairlie
streets. Friday morning. saau
Mr.. Van Hauften began preparations for
his Self-destruction about 10 o'clock Thurs
day night. AT that time he took his canary
bird from it's cage, and, going to window,
he set the songster free. The bird flew into
the front yard and little Rosa Strange, the
daughter of one of the boarders, caught it.
She took it upstairs, and knocking on the
door of Mr.. Van Hauften's room, told him
she had caught his canary He replied
that she was mistaken, as the bird was IN
It's cage.
Mr.. Van Hauften then locked his door,
closed the windows, stuffed a shawl into
the chimney and sat down and wrote the
following note:
"Goodby, my dear child. 1 cannot stand it
any longer. Try to be better than have
been, and hope the Lord will have mercy
On my soul and forgive my sins. The
money for the burying Will come from Hol-
land. Have me buried as cheaply as pos
sible. Your husband.
ga. NJ. VAN HAUFTEN'
The note was addressed to Mrs A. M.
Van Hauften. Southern hotel. Chat
tanooga, Tenn.
He then took three raZors from his bureau,
and selecting the keenest one, he went over
TO the bed. Before using the razor, hoWeV-
er. he placed a bucket beside the bed. He
then placed himself the floor, with his
mead bearing against the side of the bed in
such position that the blood would run
into the jar, instead of soiling the carpet.
The desperate man then took the razor
and attempted to end his life by cutting his
throat. But the razor being a small, slight
one, broke when 1t struck the adams ap-
pie" and a piece of the steel blade about
two inches long, was left in the wound. He
tried the two remaining razors, and selecting
the sharpest one, he turned on both jets Of
gas, and returning to the bedside, made an
other fearful cash in his throat. He then
lay passive in that position until he was
discovered about S o'clock.
The wounded man removed to the
Grady hospital last evening. He was rest
ing we'll at last accounts, and DR.. Grandy
says that he will recover.
He Will Recover.
Mr.. A M. Van Haaften the man who
made such a determined attempt at suicide
Friday night, is resting quietly at the Grady
hospital. The ugly gashes in his neck have
been dressed and stitched up in neat way
and everything is being done for his com
fort.

When Lfnnie Came Home.

The day when Linnie came home. came
home,
The birds in the tree-topS knew;
And the blossoms sweet fell down at her
feet
AT Il glance from her eyes of blue!
And the birds sang sweet:
''She has come once morer'
And the roses kissed her
AT the door.
The day when Linnie came home, cam
home,
The sun beamed bright that day;
The bees made sweeter the honeycomb.
And the lilies leaned in her way.
And the south wind sang:
She has come once morev'
And the sunshine kissed her
At the door!
The day when Lnnie came home, cam
home
The high and splendid skies
That smiling bent where her footsteps went
Were nearly as blue as her eyes!
And the birds sang sweet:
'She has come once more!'
And my glad heart met her
At the door!

Loving her this way and that;
For a ribbon on her hat
For her soft cheeks crimson dyes
For a trick of her blue eyesi
How | love her none may say,
Yet | love her all the day!
How I love her none may know:
Who can say why roses grow?
How, Where'er it breatheS and blows,
Still the rough wind loves the rose?
For her lips, so honey-sWeet,
For the falling of her feet
Who shall all my love declare?
Yet l love her all the year!

In the winter, in the May

Still l love her all life long!

Eng1and,s Greatest Enemy.

Lanln In the tOrGnlSHtly hofleW.J
The one formidable enemy of Great
Britain is Russia. The recognition OF
this obvious truth does not of itself in
volve any censure 1t is the result OF a
natural law which has been repeatedly
and emphatically recognized by the gov
ernments of India and of Russia, as well
as by our military and naval departments.
To fancy that the two empires can thrive
and develop in concord and amity is to
trust that the egg may be Matched and
the chicken grow up to hens estate with

thon's hunger for food.
The story of her advance in Central
Asia during the last quarter of century
is the record of broken promises, v1olat-
ed treaties, deliberate deception, and ev-
cry known category of double dealing.
To hope to stay her further progress by
journalistic eloquence or diplomatic tact
is about as reasonable as was Mrs. Par
tington's attempt to drive out the Atlantic
ocean with mop. We have placed inn
plicit trust in these commendable meth
DDS for over % years, with no better re-
suits than the sharpening of our wits, the
bunting of our territorial appetites and
the deepening OF our insight into the I'M
