ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Wilson Fuller Swallowed a Dose Oh
Lnudanum.

Laudanum.
Wilson n. Fuller young man about
thirty years of age, who was formerly a.
clerk in the census office, attempted to end
his life last evening by taking a drink of
laudanum. He came under the care OF
physicians before it was too late, and by
herculean efforts they managed to pull him
through.
The would-be suicide was standing with
a party Of friends at the corner of 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue when.
without a word to any one, he drew a bot
tie from his pocket and drank off the rom
tents. All had been drinking considerably
during the day. and his friends had no idea
what he was doing until he began to stag
ger and finally fell to the sidewalk. They,
thought he was under the influence of
liquor, and decided that the best thing to
do was to take him off somewhere and let
him sleep It off,
When Fuller came to a realizing sense OF
his position he was lying on the sidewalk
near the Emergency Hospital. BY this
time he had about come to the conclusion
that life might be worth living, after all;
at any rate. he would give 1t another
chance. He stumbled into the hospital and
startled the attendants with the statement
that he had taken laudanum, but was sor-
ry for 1T. By means OF a stomach pump
and some emetics they soon had him cut
of danger. 1t is said that there was al
young woman in the case. He lost his ro-
sition in the department some time ago.
and since then he had been drinking con-
siderably. His fiancee warned him that ie
he did not mend his ways all was over be.
tween them. He did not amend his ways
and she gave him the mitten. Despond-.
ency is supposed to have led him to .rw
seif-destruction. but when the physicians
said that he would live he said he was
glad of 1t, and that he deeply regretted hiS
rash act.

There is another business, however. that
has been wonderfully benefited, and the
men and women engaged in it are the pro-
rrietors Of the suburban hostelries COM

vicinity OF Washington, and especially the
more popular of them, which are easy II
access, over good roads, and just far
CROUCH removed from the city to make the
ride cut appetizing without fatigue and
the run home enjoyable even on a full
stomach, have seen their receipts increase
with cheering and substantial steadiness

4 SCUOOL II TILE TOMBS

The pcnltcptlarics of the civilized world have

Our friends across the seem 10 be I'M
duly disturbed by Mr.. Ceveland's statement.
in his Message. that "our policy and our inter
"csts would constran to object to the
"ouistion Of the island (of Cuba or an inter
ference with It's control by any other Power
They affect to regard it as "rcassertiOn Of
the Monroe Doctrine" or "thc latest version
Of the Monroe Doctrine" and "a large and
bold policy" The fact is. 1t is no new thing
1t is an old and often asserted principle, the
time for objections TO which, if there ever was
such time, has long since passed away. Some
English papers were much surprised, n few
months back. to find that the Monroe Doctrine
was really conceived by the British Minister
Canning. They may be equally surprised To
find that the principle enunciatcd by Mr.
Cleveland with respect to Cuba was first put
forth about thrcc-quarters of century ago
with direct reference TO their own Govern
ment's supposed designs upon the island.
AS early as 1893 Mr.. Adams. then Secretary
of State. officially declared that, while the
United States was dcsrous that Cuba should
for the present remain In the hands Of
Spain 1t regarded the ultimate annexation Of
the island TO this Republic as inevitable. and
| then added 'Thc transfer of Cuba TO Great
Britain would be an event uDpropitious to the
"lnerests Of this Union. . The question
'both of our right and Of Our power To prevent
"it. if necessary by force already obrudes it.
"self upon our councils and the Administration
's called upon in the performance Of its du-
tiles TO the Nation, at least to use all the
means within It's competency to guard against
land forcfend IT. And Mr.. Adams was no
rabid Anglophobc either. n few months later
Mr. jefferson wrote TO President Monroe about
Cuba: Its possession by Great Britain would
indeed be n great calamity 10 u.s." Two years
| later, when John Quincy Adams was President
and Mr.. Clay was Secretary Of State. 1t was
formally proclaimed that the United States
could not with Indifference see it CUBA PASS
ling from Spain to any lother) European
Power" I'VE could not" added Mr.. Clay
consent to the occupation of those islands
''(Cuba and Porto Rco) by any other European
Power than Spain. under any contingency
| whatever.
This same doctrine was expressed by Mr.
Galatin, when Minister to England to Mr. Can
! ming. Mr.. Everett In a confidential note told
the Spanish Government in 1927 that this
country "would not consent to the transfer
Of Cuba to any other European Power Mr.
Van Buren, In 1929, repeated the same assur-
ance. Mr. Webster, Secretary Of State In 1Sl3,
said that "the United States never would per-
init the occupation Of that island by British
agents or forces upon any prctext whatever"
Mr. FORSYTH. Secretary Of State. in 1910. and
