ISAIAH v. nElLmAs SHOT 4.


CSmmsts Suicide.
San Francisco. Feb. 9.--Isaiah W. He'll
man. the well known financier and presi-
dent OF the Nevada bank. had q narrow
escape from death this morning. He had
left his residence to walk down to the
bank. as Is his custom, and had not pro-
ceeded Tar when . man, who had evident
ly been lying In wait for the banker.
stepped out from doorway and pointed
a pistol at him. The latter quickly struck
at the revolver with his stick. which the
wouid-be assassin grasped. After q brief
struggle. Heilman turned and ran toward
the corner. The man fired twice at the
rapidly retreating banker. but his atm
was bad. and Hel1man was unhurt. Then,
apparently satisfied that one or the other
OF his shots had taken effect, the man de-
liberately shot himself through the fore
head. Hellmar quietly walked back,
picked up his hat. which had been
knocked on in the struggle with his as
sailant. and returned to his house before
continuing his walk to the bank. To his
coolness in using his stick he undoubtedly
owes his life. A bullet could hardly have
missed It's mark at such close range.
The suicide was taken to the receiving
hospital, where he died in the afternoon.
His name Is William Holland. curbstone
stockbroker. who was arrested about six
weeks ago. charged with presenting q
forged check at the Nevada bank. When
taken to the bank for Identification the
teller was at first doubtful. but finally
said Holland was not the forger. He'll
land considered the arrest, although made
without publicity, a reflection upon his In
1egrtty and brocded over his fancied dis
grace, finally determining to be revenged
on HeIlran and then end his own nfe

THE HOUSEHOLD.

The tongue of a dog or cat, say
the veterinary surgeons, can COM
municate tapewOrm, and so the
habit of kissing an animals nose,
or allowing pet to lap a child's
face, is very dangerous. Owners
of valuable pups are careful ON this
account to keep them out of the
reach of old dogs.
Horrid mud spatters will appear,
no matter how high one holds ones
skirts. To let the mud dry and
then brush it off is the best way to
do with wooden dresses, but some
thing more is necessary for silk.
Mud stains silk, and the only way
to remove the spots is to brush the
goods thoroughly and sponge with
alcohol.
To prevent sty from coming ON
the eye make a tiny bag of cheese
cloth and fill it with black tea,
pour enough boiling water over it
to moisten well and let it swell.
Lay this over the eye and fasten it
so it will stay in place all night.
Repeat this second night if the
eye is no better. If taken in time
this will surely drive away a sty.
Miss Oakley, an artist who has
devoted years to the study of dress,
thus writes in her book, entitled
Beauty in Dress: "Any woman is
too tightly dressed who cannot raise
her arms straight above her head
clap her hands; who cannot stoop
to tie her shoe, or pick up pin,
without heightened color. Tight
lacing unrentingly INDUCED, like
painless poison, saps the beauty,
the grace, the brains, the life, from
it's unfortunate victims. Tight
lacing is not only a hideous stu
pidity, it is a crime-a crime that
casts a heavy burden upon the next
generation, and renders the present
one incapable of it's duties. 1t
ruins the digestion and the circula-
ton, and consequently the COM
plexion, which we all know is one
of the greatest of feminine charms.
1t Injuries the sight and the color
and the expression of the eye."

municipal Ownership.

After enumerating the municipal
ownership of gas and street rail
ways that has taken place in Eng
land and the steady progress it is
making together with the cheaper
ing and improvement in service,
the result of the change from
private to public ownership of these
public utilities, the Voice, which is
devoting a good deal of attention to
these things lately, asks:
"The day of private ownership
of public franchises is fast going in
English cities, and to the benefit of
everybody except the private
monopolist. Why should it not go
in the cities of the United States?"
To which the reply can be given
without the slightest fear of con-
tradiction, the day will pever come
for such change in this country
while the people elect for either the
Republican or Democrat party to
rule over them. The United States
is the worst monopoly cursed
country in the world, and under
these old parties will never improve.
