A SCOLDING WIFE
DRIVES A MAN To OSUICIDE-PROF
NASH LEAPS FROM A VESSEL
AT SEA TO ESCAPE HIS
WIFE S SBECKERING.

Professor I. Nash, chief of the
British educational bureau, of
India, last Monday afternoon
committed suicide by jumping
overheard from the steamship,
City of Topeka, near Queen
Charlotte Sound, Alaska. The
deed was committed III the press
ence of his wife who is adaught-
er of a Hindoo Prince and I'M
mensely wealthy. Mrs. Nash,
who is finely educated and quite
pretty, was intensely jealous of
her husbands actions. In con-
sequence they engaged i'll many
petty quarrels. When near
Queen Charlotte Sound, about 4
o'clock Monday afternoon she
called Professor Nash from the
smoking room and, going on
deck, began to berate him for
some unknown cause In the
hearing of other passengers he
told her if she persisted he would
jump overheard She retorted
that she would report him to the
captain who would place him i'll
irons.
AS the wife turned half round
her husband leaped over the rail
ing into the sea. A general
alarm was sounded and a life
buoy was thrown out, but he
made no effort to reach it. The
steamer was stopped and boats
lowered and a most diligent
search instituted without avail.
Professor Nash belonged to q
wealthy family living in Eng
land, and after fifteen years resi-
dence in India was returning
home When he sprang into
the sea he carried jewels on hi!
person valued at several thousant
| dollars.

notice III the BIbiIc0l Recorder:
The address before the liter>

Rev. J. +. White, pastor of Ed
enton Baptist church. He was
at disadvantage i'll having to
speak to a wearied audience, as
they had been patiently enjoying
the preceding exercises for some
three hours. Yet at the first he
dispelled the weary feeling ofhis
hearers, and captured their pro-
found attention. His subject was
"Making of a Man" i'll which of
course woman was embraced.
He spoke without manuscript,
and was fluent and eloquent. He
has many advantages over most
speakers, being quite handsome,
with commanding figure, and
then with a strong musical voice,
it is no wonder that .all at the
start are fascinated. and with
bated breath listen to his words
of wisdom. The style of his
address was unique and very in
structive, and the impression
made upon his audience Twill go
with them through life"

A Giant Girl Baby.

There arrived i'll our city yes

old, but she weighs 87lpounds, is
81 inches III height and measures
3 inches around the waist, ID
inches across the back, I2H in~
ches around the knee, and s in
ches around the arms. This
prodigious young miss, we are
told, is perfectly healthy and
has never been sick except from
teething and heat like ordinary
babies. She has long, blonde
hair and crawls around lively,
but is too Il eavy to walk. Her
name is Augusta, and she is un
usually bright, understanding
her mother when she speaks Ill
German. Her parents are both
German, and are both small, the
fathers weight being only I30
pounds and the mothers I2o
pounds. We understand that the
physicians attribute the size of
child to a freak of nature only.
Her parents have another little
girl OF four years of age, but she
is of natural size-The giant
baby is fond of doll babies and
other little playthings like all
girl babies.-Wil., Messcnger,9M
