Slack, for twenty years a resident Of
this city, committed suicide yesterday
afternoon by cutting his throat with a
razor.
Some years ago while reading q news

fanny and then committing suicide Mr..
Slack remarked to his wife:

for me to dor
Mrs. Slack replied that she did not
think II would be n good thing to do at
all, and admonished her husband against
dwelling upon such matters.
Mr.. Slack was for six years Super
intendent OF the County Almshouse,
and retired from that place some
what broken down in health. The
privation and poverty which he va.
compelled to witness daily while at the
Almshouse SO wrought upon his mind
that he had fear that he, too. would
some time be an inmate Of the institu-
ton.
Subsequently, he suffered a sunstroke,
which tended 10 further impair his

BRITANNIA GETS 1T.
Wins the Meteor shield, NiGiInnt
Nat Being Eligible TO start.

COWES, Isle OF Wight, Aug. l0.-Bri-
tannia, Iverna and Viking started at 9
O'Clock this morning in the race for the
Meteor Challenge Shield presented by
the German Emperor, the event being
open only to all yachts, OF any rig,
built In Europe and belonging TO any
recognized European yacht club ex-
cceding 100 rating. Vigilant, conse-
auently, was not eligible TO take part
in this contest.
The winner OF the Shield Is subject to
chsllenge the year after winning IL.
and the trophy becomes the property
Of the person winning 1t twice: three
yachts to start or no race.
Britannia won the Empcrors Challenge
Shield last year, beating MIR. A. d..

IDENTIFY only entered and started In order
to enable the event to be sailed, for
they soon retired, and Britannia contin-
ued sailing over the course alone. The
Prince OF Wales will thus become the
owner OF the Meteor Challenge Shield.
II Is believed that the owners of Wig
liant will take advantage OF her not
having to race to-day to have her
locked. as II Is possible that she was
more severely injured by scraping the
shore, off Ventnor, on Monday last than
the divers who examined her were
aware.
Unless some change Is made In the
plans OF the owners Of the two yachts,
Vigilant and Britannia will not lock
horns again until Monday, when they
may race ID miles to windward and
sreturn for 100 cup, given by Lord
Wolverton. Mr.. Gould, however. has
not yet decided to compete.
The newspapers are all jubilant over
the victory yesterday OF Britannia over
Vigilant.
The Pail Mall Gazette says, sarcas-
ticaily: I'VE must await the arrival OF
the American mail for the straight truth
about her defeat whether II was truck

Tariff Delay and Drought Failed

To the surprise of bulls and bears
alike, the stock market continues to
move up despite the delay in Washing
ton over the tariff and the continued
reports of damage to the corn crop by
the drought.
The rise in stocks Is to be attributed
largely to a change of sentiment. Ger
tain operators seem to have concluded
that the dulness had lasted long enough,
and that 1t is time for change.
They believe that the tariff must be
determined speedily whether the bill as
it is finally passed suits the sugar peo-
pie or not, and that this cause of I'M
