Mrs. J. D. Brooks TYs to Cut Throat With
Pocket Knife.

Mrs J. ID. Brooks attempted to commit
suicide at her home on Gage street, Thurs
day morning, but was not successful in
completing the act.
She had given Mr. Brooks his medicine
about o'clock and was not seen again
until she was found in the woodshed with
a large cash in the neck.
When found Mrs. Brooks was sitting on
an old pail and in front of her was pool
of blood amounting to about pint.
She had been sitting there about three
hours and was quite exhausted from the
loss of blood.
, The instrument used was an old pocket
knife and the gashes were under the chin,
in n much more favorable place than if
they had been lower. As it was several
arteries were severed and the
windpipe cut into. The cut was about
three inches long. Mrs. Brooks was very
much chilled fromrsitting in the cold so
long
It is understood that she has been
slightly insane at times for several
months. and her husband being SO i'll has
probably caused her to become despond-
ent.
Dr Harris was called and attended the
dressing of the wounds and thinks that
she will probably recover.

MAINE PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Second Day Of The knnaal Meetins-The
Literary Exercises.

Both the forenoon and afternoon SEES
sions of the Maine Press Association
Thursday, Were largely attended. The
forenoon session was held in the room OF
the Judiciary committee. Two new mem
bers were admitted: Jonathan Prince
Cilley of Rockland, and Byron A. Mead
of Augusta. The greater part Of this
session was devoted to general discussion
of advertising and agencies Mr.. ]. p.
Cilley was elected county historian for
Knox county, in place of W. 0. Fuller
Jr. 1t was voted 16 to to make the next
summer excursion to Aroostook county
and Chester W. Robbins, of Old Town /;
George HI. Gilman of Houlton; and Will
lizard Z. Mudgett of Bangor, were ap-
pointed committee to take charge of
the matter. A committee was appointed
to draw up and present to the Legislature
resolution demonstrating against the
purpose to make publishers send papers at
their own risk after the expiration of adj
vance payments. As large number of
the subscribers to weekly papers do not
pay in advance, it was felt that such action
would work great hardship and injustice
to the newspaper publishers of the State.
The afternoon session was devoted
chiefly to the literary exercises, These
icto Of tirpnIy-
essay by j. NJ. Hunter of the Pennington
Chronicle, upon "The Country News
papcr-What it Ought, and Ought not
to Be This was followed by the read
ing of an excellent poem, by C. W. Rob
bins, editor of the Old Town Enterprise
entitled "A Drop Of Printers Ink. = 1t
was learned that President Rowell had
prepared an essay, understanding that
Mr.. Hunter would not be able to act as
essayist, and the association insisted that
it be also read. 1t was an able article
dealing in a most interesting way, with
the origin and development of newspapers.
1t was voted that both essays, and the
poem be printed in the annual report.
A vote OF thanks was extended the
Legislature for the use of the Senate
chamber and other rooms, and to the rail
road companies forlcourtesie5 received.
An invitation was extended members
of the association to attend the address by
Lady Henry Somerset at the Opera house.
The meeting was most enjoyable one
in every way and did much to further ce-
ment the bonds of good fellowship that
have ever united the members of the asso-
