He Dined ON n Persian Rug.

ADELAIDE, South Australia, April 1S.-
After sleeping for two months with Per-
sian rug ten feet square in his stomach
the big boa constructor in the Adelaide
geological garden, said to be the largest in
captivity, has disgorged the remarkable
meal and appears none the worse for the
experiment. The rug does not appear to
have suffered either in texture or tone, ex-
cept that there were stains where the
gastric juices had striven to operate.

HAD NO WORK, SOUGHT DEATH
John Roman Jumps ln:o the North
River n Second Time.

John Roman, twenty-one years old, Of
81 Christopher street, attempted suicide
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning, by
jumping into the North River at the
foot OF West Eleventh street.
Roman would probably have succeeded
in ending his life. but for the arrival of
Policeman Martin Copeland, OF the
Charles street station, who had been
summoned to the spot by a man who
saw him jump In.
Copeland borrowed a hook and pole
from captain of canal-boat, and
after a great deal of trouble Roman was
gotten out OF the water. He was taken
to the Charles street Gtationh house,
where he was locked up for the night.
This Is the second attempt that Roman
has made to end his life. His first
effort was made about three months
ago. when he jumped into the North
River at the foot of West Tenth street.
He would have drowned that time had

Romans motive for trying to end his

has had no regular employment since.
Court this morning Roman said he did
not mean to end his life. and Justice
Voorhis, after a severe reprimand. dis
