Attempts Suicide.

Jacksonville. Fla, Jan. 19-Bessie
Franklin, a comely woman about %
years old. very recent addition to the
jacksonville demimonde, took a big dose
Of laudanum late last night with suicidal
intent, but her life WAS saved almost
miraculously by the skirful work of Dr.
Williams and John Douglas. They worked
on her with stomach pumps and electric
batteries until 10 o'clock this morning,
when the woman regained consciousness.
Dr. Williams says that had he been a
few minutes later in getting to the wo-
mans assistance. the drug would have
taken such an effect as TO render all
medical assistance of no avail. 1T was
the closest call 1 think l ever saw" said
DR. Williams the woman must have
taken at least two ounces of the poison
She was in such a condition that every
limb could have been cut from her body
without causing a muscle to CULVER or

A cHAUTAUaUA FOR AUGUSTA.
1t Is Proposed to Make 1t a National
Winter Meeting.

Augusta, Ga. Jan. 19-Dr Madison c.
Peters Of New York, writing to this city
regarding the organization of a National
Winter Chautauqua Assembly to be con
summated at Washington city on Jan. 81
and located at Augusta, says: 1T will
bring the sections of our country TO.
gether. The better we know each other
the more We will love one another"
The purpose is to establish upon the
health resort hills surrounding Augusta
winter Chautauqua assembly to be the
counterpart and winter sister of the
great summer assembly at Chautauqua,
\. Y. The great national ChautauQua
leaders are behind the movement, with
such men as DR.. Peters, Rev. Russell Con
well of Philadelphia. A. X. Mcclure of
Philadelphia DR.. Gilman of Johns Hop
kins, DR.. kirkland of Vanderbilt, and
President Andrews of Brown University;
Or. J. l.. VI. Curry, agent of the Peabody
fund.- Hon. Theodore Roosevelt of New
York, Gov. Northen of Georgia and other
national educators.
1t has the sympathy and support Of the
Chicago University and other great educa-
tional institutions, well as all the
summer assemblies north and south, with
none of whom this national assembly is
in competition. The first session viii be
held in 1896 and provide a means of edu-
cation and entertainment not only to
southern people. but to the thousands Of
northern people who visit the south in
the winter.
The citizens of Augusta have made a
large donation to the institution and it
has the support of the southern people
The great popularity of this section as a
winter and health resort and its great
accessibility from being a big railroad
point, will conduce to the success of the
enterprise, which will be far-reaching in
its beneticent effects, particularly in
bringing together in such large numbers
the people of the north and south.

with breathing holes and the express
agents were instructed to pour water
into an aperture containing a receptacle
inside to receive it. The shipment was.
made from a small town in the Indian
Territory. Two days later. not finding
the consgnee. the agent opened the box.
but instead of the dog he found in it a
diminutive colored boy between 10 and
II years old.
The story he told was almost beyond
belief although there is some corrobora-

he was stolen from home by two men

Leaving legitimate words and turning

slang which is regarded as extremely

Mr.. Matthews has also cited still moro
remarkable example of recent slang from

Sonnet:

Clever illusion.


From the Clnclnnati Enquirer.
They are using electricity at a Chicago
store for illusion purposes. A genuine
marble statue stands on a platform. It
represents Pharaoh's daughter. holding
a basket in which reposes the infant
Moses The statue is transformed under
the eye of the spectator into a comely
living woman, as unlike marble as possi-
BILE. She bears a basket of flowers. Tbs
change is gradual. First, the hair dark
ems. then the dress changes in color
then the eyes open and red steals into
the cheeks. No mirrors are used and
the illusion is said to be due to an eectrl-
cal contrivance. The change from the
living woman TO the statue is also made.
