He Takes Laudanum, but He IL
Kept Awake by Walking.
st. Paul, June 11-Sleep meant death
to William Brown of Winnebago City
yesterday. He had taken an ounce of
laudanum with suicidal intent, and
was waiting for the fatal lethargy to
come upon him when he was discov-
cred by the police. Under instructions
from Desk Sergeant Horn, Officer
Newcome marched the man up and
down Third street at a brisk pace until
Doctors Hanley and Rrimhall, the city
physicians, arrived. Brown was then
given powerful emetics and the walk
continued. In two hours he was out
of danger, and will live.
Brown chose Irvine Park as the
place where he would escape the NOR
tai coil. 1t could not have been far
from s O'Clock when he reached the
place and sat down on IL of the
benches. In one Of his vest pockets
was a bottle which had contained an
ounce of laudanum. In another was a
note bearing the following message in
very bad chirography:
my name is William Brown. l live
at Winnebago City. 1 was on, the drive
on Kettle river for Dennis Boyle.
Please telegraph my mother, who lives
at AL Chippewa street, Eau Claire.
Her name is Mrs. E. Cornish. Good

Duluth, June 1.-THE steamer North
West, with officials and stockholders
Of the Minnesota Iron company ana
their invited guests arrived here an
hour ahead of the scheduled time.
Despite the rainy weather the North
ern Steamship company's pier and the
n%eighboring piers were crowded with
people to welcome the big white boat
back to Duluth and to see the dis
tinguished visitors. Never has Duluth
been visited at one time by so many
prominent and wealthy men. There
are about 175 people in the party, in
Guiding business men of Chicago, New
York, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia, ST. Louis, Milwaukee,
Detroit and st. Paul.
After taking dinner on the boat the
party came ashore and many made
brief trips around the city. 1t was
after 8 o'clock before all were on
board the special train in waiting to
convey them up the Duluth T. Iron
Range road to Two Harbors and Ely.
The train was composed of about
twenty Pullman sleepers and two
dining cars, which arrived in the

ception of some sort to the party in
Duluth OIL their return from the range.
The North West made a remarkably
fast trip from Chicago, being ahead Of
her schedule time all the way. The
party were delighted with the trip up

tering terms of the finest steamer that
floats on fresh water.

CH1TRAL AND ITS PEOPLE.
The Latter Can Fight Well Enough,
but Prefer Peace.

Pittsburg Dispatch: Chitral, concern
ing which Englishmen are inst now
greatly interested, is a tributary of the
maharajah of Kashmir. himself one of the
feudatory princes of India. 1t is the most
important state on the uttermost line of
the Indian frontier, and commands the
chief practicable road from the Pamirs
southwark. Hence the Importance of es-
taklishing in it q strong government, on
whose allegiance. the Indian viceroy may
always rely.
The country is mountainous, and is
composed partly of gigantic snowy peaks
and barren rocky mountains, and, in a
very small degree, of cultivated land. The
valleys are narrow and confined, the main
ones in their inhabited portions running
from 5000 to 5000 feet above the level
of the sea-. 1t is only in them that any
cultivation is ut all found, and even there
it is not carried on Very extensively. But
what there is is generally good, and Chit
raj is a country noted for its fruit.
The climate varies, Of course, according
to the height of the valley. In the lower
parts, at about 5000 feet above the sea
leyel, it to ranges from y to Is deg. in win
ter to deg. in summer, and higher up,
below zero in winter to about SO dee.
above in summer. But in some places,
like Gugis,. one of the fortified forts,
where trees are very scarce, even at 1000
feet the heat is often very great in sum
mer. The population of Chitral is proba-
bly, about 10000 or $4,000.
The people are all Mohammedans, but
not of a very strict or fanatical type. In
Tic lower part Of the Chitral valley,
where they touch on the Pathaus, who
nre noted for their fanaticism, they have
become to a certain extent tainted by it;
but in the upper valleys the people are
,ery quiet, and, according to Capt. Young
husband, the mass of them do not trouble
servances. On the whole they are stated
to be q peaceable race, who can. fight well
enough when reused to action, but who
really prefer to keep quiet and be left
alone to enjoy life in peace.

4 student of human nature invested
q small sum Of money last week for
the purpose Of testing the honesty OF
New York people. He bought six small
purses and put in each AZ cents, a door
key and a card with his own name Il
address. He then proceeded to drop
these purses in the streets and on the
floors Of the large dry goods stores. In
less than twenty-four hours five of the
purses were returned, and in each case
by a woman. This may or may not
prove anything concerning the honesty
Of women as compared with men, but
1t certainly seem to show that women
are the sharper-sighted.
