personal canvass and raise every dollar
possible for building the road. Then
the services Of a practical railroad man
might be engaged with confidence; or,
II deemed more advisable, such man
might be invited 10 come here and adj
dress the citizens al public meeting
and raise subsequently, the remainder
Of the funds necessary to build the
road. One thing IL certain; II enough
preliminary work is done In advance to
give the practical railroad builder q

HELPED HER TO SUICIDE.
A Paris Girls Women Friends Asaias Her In

a Paris GiriNs Women Friends Assiat Her In
Poisoning Herself.
PARIS, July 4.-The number of suicides In
Paris in June was ls3, of which three-eighths
were those of women. This is not greatly above
the average for June, which is with the French,
az with other nations the favorite month of self
destruction: but the record presents several un-
usual features. among which is the fact that
twelve Of the suicides died In couples, man and
woman together. Three of these couples tied
themselves together before throwing themselves
into the Seine. Another unusual feature is that
four persons killed themselves because they
were starving. This is common enough in the
winter months. but rare in summer. The larger
number Of suicides had for motive, as always.
unrequited love.
For the last four days the number has av-
eraged seven q day. 1t Is seldom that one comes
across any Of these that is in any way interest
ing; and until Yesterday there had been no case
calling for particular notice since that of the
young Philadelphia art student, Miss We'll,
whose body was found in the river a fortnight
ago. But yesterday another young girl killed
herself under circumstances that will doubtless
cause closer scrutiny than usual upon the part
This young girl Mathilde Thiorry. was a
chorus girl but II years old. She was in love
with a young man whom she had met but once.
AS his affections were already placed elsewhere,
she saw that her case was hopeless and decided

Thierry girl.
The young woman who had suggested poison
ofered to go to a pharmacy for IL, which she
did. She bought some disinfectAnt paper pre-
pared with corrosive sublimate. The four girls
made q decoction of this in a glas OF water, and
she was dead.
As far as the inquiry into the case showed.
none OF the four girls made any attempt TO dis
nor did they attempt to save her life after IL was
drunk. The interest of the public in the case
now centres in the question whether or not any
OF these four girls can be held as accessories to
the crime; Many think that they should be held
responsible IN some measure. So far they have
got nothing but a severe lecture from the Com.
missary of Police of the quarter.

sive weaves. In denims alone. of all the array
OF cotton stuffs, the harmonious, tints are won
derfully easy OF adaptation. For lustreless hard
wood surfaces in the movable furniture, wall
hangings and picture settings can be found that
will accord perfectly, not only with the color
scheme chosen, but with the general era or epoch
from which the leading note of tho room was de-
rived.
1t was only this spring that 1t was found prac-
ticable to dye willow and rattan furniture in
any. color likely to be needed, and sofas, arm

attractive during the hot months. As an alter
native to the easement muslins there are OPEN
work net fabrics that closely resemble hand
made crochet or knitting. and for those who
prefer materials moro expensive, there are the
