SUICIDE OF LOUIS BLANK
The Former Secretary of the
B'nai Birth Association
Found Dead.
WAS AsPHYxIATED BY GAS
1t Is Thought That the Charges Pre-.
ferred Against Him May Have
Caused the Act.

Louis Blank, the former secretary of the
B'nai Birth Association, was found dead
in small ante-room off his sleeping cham.
Der yesterday afternoon. The gas was
turned fully on, and there is no doubt but
it was case of suicide. The body was
taken to the Morgue, where it now lies.
AT the time of his death Blank was alone
in the house, the other members of the
family being away on an excursion to the
beach. The body was found on their re-
turn lying on the floor of the ante-room,
fully dressed. Blank leaves family, con-
sisting of widow and three children.
1t will be remembered that Blank is the
defaulting secretary of the B'nai B rith
Association. The defalcation, which was

body. He picked up the unconscious
women and carried her to place of safety.
The fire reached the spot where her fur
niture had been slowed and everything she
owned was lost.
1t was pitiful yesterday to see her with
her children wandering among the ruins
weeping and bewailing her loss. She was
assisted at the relief bureaus that had been
opened on the corner of Fourth and Free
lon, and later generous gentleman, who
took an interest in her sad plight, rented a
room on Fourth street for her and pre-
sented her with $40 gold piece.

SACRED CHALICE RESCUED
A Thrilling Episode OF the Destruc-
ton Of St. Roses
Church.

When the flames reached over the tall
brick walls of the new Church of ST. Rose
Father Nugent was in his parochial house.
His first thought was to save the sacred
chalice in the tabernacle of the old church
that contained the sacrament
He rushed through the church followed
by score of anxious parishioners. The
tabernacle was hurriedly opened and the
chalice borne out of the church to a place
of safety.
The symbolical ciborium and the other
sacred vessels were also saved.

CALL CALLED DOWN.

Jasper, Oct. I2.-Senator Call,
accompanied by his man Jeems.
arrived here this morning, and the
former spoke to seventy five curl
osity seekers at the court house
this afternoon. His speech was
the same old Remuneration of cor

took occasion to denounce Editor
Caldwell of the Jasper News as a
traitor to the democracy of the
state. Caldwell, in the course of a
reply to this attack, said in effect
that the rawlings of a lunatic need

GOOD HABITS PAY.

The Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION of Cleveland, O., has an
employment department, maintain
ed for the purpose of bringing to-
gether those who need situations
and those who have places for
workers to fill The secretary of
the association recently made the
noteworthy statement that the
number of situations at the dis
posal of the department exceeded
that of the applicants by twenty
five.
In one sense this may be inter
preted as sign of returning pros
peritv. A year ago, or even six
months ago, such a state of things
did not exist. The supply of ap-
plicants for places then exceeded
the demand. The present contrast
is therefore<a proof of the greater
activity Of business.
But the circumstance has a far
wider significance than this. While
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation has more calls for men to
fill places than it can supply, the
same thing is not true of other bu-
reaus for finding employment in
Cleveland. No general lack of
men to fill vacancies exists in the
city as a whole. The number of
people, good, bad and Indifferent,
who are seeking places is greater
than the number of places.
What distinguishes the employ
ment department of the associa-
ton from ordinary employment
agencies is the fact that men of an
especial type are the only ones
that are allowed upon its rolls;
those, namely, who can be vouched
for as men of correct habits, with
a preference for good company and
clean living. The fact that mans
name is upon this list is of itself
proof that. he is not a patron of
the saloon, the pool table or the
gambling house.
The fact that the ASSOCIATE on
cannot meet the demand for young
men of this class shows that the
successful leaders in commerce
and industry are more disposed to
take into their stores, Offices and
other places of business those who
have demonstrated their good
character than those who give no
evidence of high aspirations or of
interest in moral and spiritual
things. N
The truth is that good habits
are the best investment that
young man can make. They not
only constitute the foundation of
rightly constituted character, but
they help him to material success.
The business men of the country
are fast learning that they cannot
afford to employ men who are not
men of good habits, correct lives
and unsullied character. The vi
cious, the careless, and even those
who are only doubtful, must 60 to

who can be implicitly trusted

WOMAN'S PlUCKY FEAT.
Hrs. w. b. Rogers Plants an American
Flag on Devils Peak.

Perhaps the most novel celebration of
the Fourth of July this year was at
Sundance, Crook county, Wyoming,
where a woman climbed the Devils
Tower and planted the American flag
1865 feet above the heads of an i'm
mense crowd of applauding people.
The Devils Tower is one of the nat
ural wonders of the west. Its top is
1865 feet above the level of the Belle
Fourche river, which flows at its base,
and the tower proper, which is almost
perpendicular, is 665 feet in height
The tower is a landmark for great ex-
tent of country and from some direc-
tiOns can be seen with glass for a dis
dance of 100 miles. 1t was used by the
Indians as signal tower from which
fires gave warning of the approach of
hostile tribes or of the presence Of
whites, but until 1898, when w. Il.
Rogers, of Sundance, succeeded in
climbing to its top, no white man has
scaled it. The fact had been generally
advertised for about month that Mrs.
Rogers, wife of the man who made the
ascent of the tower two years ago,
would attempt to climb TO the top on
the Fourth, and people from all parts of
northeastern Wyoming, some of them
driving fifty miles, were present to see
what the majority pronounced an i'm
possible feat.
Mrs. Rogers made the ascent with
alarming ease and rapidity, going from
the point where climbing is necessary
to the summit, distance of about 500
feet, in thirty-seven minutes. Mrs. |
Rogers spent fifteen or twenty minutes
On the summit of the tower planting
the flag, and then began her downward |
journey, which is more trying ordeal
and more perilous than the ascension.
She made the downward trip in thirty
line minutes. Two years ago when
Rogers made the ascent there were no
igns of life on the top of the tower.
Now there are some chipmunks and
ONE prairie dogs.

LIZARDS IN A TRANCE.
One Medical Authority Regards 1t As
Kind Of aypnotism.

An English scientific journal has re-
ceived an interesting communication
on the subject of the so-called death.
feigning instinct" Of certain reptiles,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The correspondent, who writes from
Syria, says that when certain species
of Egyptian lizard is captured, it makes
a few vigorous efforts to escape, and
then, if held firmly, falls into a limp,
Iuotionless state, which might easily
lead an inexperienced person to think
il dead. The animal, however, is sim
ply in a trance-lise condition.
Gentle respiratory movements are
visible Just behind the shoulders, and
sometimes show "a rising and falling
rhythm with short intervals of COM
plete rest; the eyes remain wide open,
but are commonly half closed, and the
lids wink slowly from time to time
spontaneously or by reflex action; the
mouth is almost open, sometimes wide,
sometimes but little--and in either
case the jaw is quite rigid, and if closed
by force is apt to reopen when the
pressure is withdrawn; the limbs lie
extended and semi-haccid, with some
approach TO cataleptic condition, i. e.,
if bent or stretched into position not
too strained, they maintain such posi-
tons when let go; and the same is true
of the trunk and tail.
A pin may be run through a fold OF
the skin, without fully rousing the
animal, sluggish, feeble wriggle be-
ing the sole result. The trance usually
lasts about five minutes, when the
animal by brusque effort assumes its
normal position. This done, it lies
quite still, but evidently awake and OBJ
servant for few moments more, and
then scuttles off in hurry.
DIR. Van Dyck looks upon this mani
festation not as voluntary or consciou:
l'death-feigning, but as a form OF h9pno-
tism. The natural enemies of thess
lizards are foxes, jackals, martens
birds of prey and snakes.
