Grange Meeting.-Montgomery Coun
ty Grange, No 7, held its regular quarterly
meeting at Beltsville, on July Both. The
business of the morning session was of a
routine and private character, with very in.
teresting addresses by Worthy State Master
Henry o. Devries and Worthy State Lee
turer James s. Robinson.
The afternoon session was open TO the
public, and took new departure in dis
cussng political questions, which was done
in the most friendly spirit, and certainly one
can talk now of gold, silver or greenbacks,
protection, or tariff for revenue only, pro-
hibition or woman's suffrage without tread
ing on any party's toes, as was done by
Messrs Devries, Robinson, Sylvester, Miller,
johnson, Hartshorne, Phar and Bentley.
They agreed that this will be a campaign
of education and will eventually help to
straighten up our national policy, no matter
which way this election may go. No party
need expect its millennium To come, be the

suicide at Cabin JOhn.-The body
of W. j. Hutchins, son of Mrs. Elizabeth
Hutchins, living at 17l4 Thirteenth street
northwest, Washington, was found in pool
of his own blood about 200 yards from Cabin
John Bridge at 8 o'clock Friday morning.
Not until late in the afternoon and after an
inquest had been held was the body identi-
fled. 1t was evidently case of suicide, and
such was the finding of the coroner's jury.
The discovery was made by Philip Jack
son, colored, employed by masons doing
some stone work at the bridge He first saw
the body about o'clock in the morning,
but had no suspicious that 1t was corpse
until about an hour later. Seeing the per-
son lying in the same position as when first
discovered he went nearer and was Mortified
to find the ground covered with blood in
every direction from the body. He hurried
to Cabin John Hotol and gave the nforma-
ton that dead man was lying near the
bridge

terrible struggle in his efforts at taking his
own life A cash in the throat and knife
a few feet away plainly told the story OF the
manner in which death was caused.
Judging from the wound, it would seen
that the weapon, small pen knife, had
been plunged into the throat, penetrating
the iugular vein, and then thrust in still
deeper and turned around.
Death evidently did not follow soon, anc
blood stained handkerchiefs near by indi
cate that he attempted to stop the flow o.
blood His agony and pain from the fright
full, self inflicted wound must have beer
next to unbearable, and was only relieved
by death, which followed after Hutchin'
had reeed about, leaving a trail of blooc
behind him.
Scattered around were fragments of
letter which had been torn into such tiny
bits that none OF the writing could be de
ciphered.

oNDoN, March l1.--Sir William Vernon

since the present government had been

hurricane OF foreign complications, blow
ing from every quarter. Their foreign
policy had been neither glorious nor eco
nomical. Witness Armenia and the budget
estimates. The splendid isolation of which
the government was so proud was the out
come of jingoism.
The situation abroad, Sir William con-
tinue1, has never been 30 trave within the
memory of living men. The Armenian
difficulty, he said, was q legacy of Beacohs-
