The Poison Acted ms an Emet,c.

Last evening Nancy Hancock. colored
twenty years old. swallowed three ounces
of laudanum with the intention of ending
her existence. Some family trouble wor-
ried her and she procured the poison from
a West-street drug store. She walked to
the corner OF Illinois and St. Clair streets
and drank the stuff there and continued
her walk. At the corner OF Michigan and
Illinois streets the poison began to make
her sick, and she fell to the ground. She
took so much OF the laudanum that IL acted
as an emetic. and before IL could be alb
sorbed she began vomiting and her life
was thus saved. She was taken home by
the city ambulance.

THE TROUBLE IN CRETE.

The threatening aspect Of the Cretan
trouble is but new phase of the everlast-
ing Eastern question complicated by the
Turk in Europe. In fact, it is quite likely
that the recent fighting between Mussui-
mans and Chris tians was melted by the
Turkish authorities a pretext for con-
tinuing the massacre of Christians. The So
called Christians in Crete poor lot
as Christians of the Greek Church are gen.
hammedans is reason enough why the I'M
speakable Turk should desire their extermi-
nation. In general way the Cretan ques-
ton has some points of resemblance to the
Cuban question. The island is located with
reference to Greece somewhat as Cuba Is
with reference to the United States and
ought to belong to Greece for that reason
as well as because its Christian inhabi-
tants outnumber the Mohammedans four or
five to one. 1t is much nearer to Greece
than it is TO Turkey, and as between the
two powers should naturally belong to the
former. Turkish rule under it's best condi-
ton is nothing but organized robbery, and
for a long time past Turkish rule in Crete
has been as bad as Spanish rule in Cuba
The people have been numerically plum
dered and the island impoverished by OPP
preston. Several instructions have oc-
Cured in recent times and the people have
made determined but unsuccessful efforts
to throw off Turkish rule. One of these in
surrections, about thirty years ago. re-
Cd in, ctr hot Fro
Russia, Prussia and Italy joined in a col
lective note urging a suspension of hostil-
tiles and an inquiry into the grievances of
Crete by a joint commission of the powers
and the Porte. The Turkish government
refused the proposal as Spain did the prof
fered mediation of the United States in
Cuba. The great powers renewed the pres
sure and continued it until the insurrection
was finally brought to a close and the au-
thority of Turkey re-established Since then
the work of oppression and plumber has
continued in Crete much as it has in Cuba
The people are eaten up with taxes and
compelled TO support an army of Turkish
officials whom they despise- The Greeks
have sympathized with the Cretans in ev-
cry attempt they have made to get rid of
Turkish rule, and no doubt Greece would
be glad to see the present trouble lead to
a train that may bring OH a general Euro
pean war. The great powers would not OBJ
ject to partitioning Turkey if they could
only agree among themselves to the dis
tribution of the parts.

STARTERS IN THE BIG HANDICAP
RACE HAVE sIFTED DOWN
TO TEN.

NEW YORK, June 20-The candi-
dates for the Suburban handicap, to be
run at Sheepshead bay on Tuesday
next, have been sifted down to ten
starters. One by one the horses have
fallen by the wayside, and the four top
weights gave it up some time ago. This
leaves Ben Brush as the colt with the
heaviest impost, and he will have to
shoulder 123 pounds. He is in such fine
condition, however, that he is likely
to be the favorite from this time out
This seems legitimate from his last
two races. One week ago yesterday
he appeared for the first time this sea-
son in the East and ran a capital race
Then on Thursday last he carried 11S
pounds and won fine race from
Belmar at a mile in 1:41A, and looked
as if he could have gone in and made
new figure for this year at a mile
and a quarter. Belmar is the next in
weight, and his 121 pounds looks like

of the lot. Havoc will be we'll backed

DOG TOOTH FILLED WITH GOLD.
Dental Operation on st. Bernard
Under Influence of ChIorOfornn

NEW YORK, June 19.-Colin. a big
st. Bernard dog, had one of his teeth
filled with gold this morning. He is the
son of the famous Roland Jr., who took
a $1,000 prize, and is himself the win
ner of the blue ribbon in the two-year-
old class at the last dog show He
belongs to DR.. A. Meserole Ainslee, OF
45S West One Hundred and Fifty-sec-
ond street. Colin had been in low
spirits for several days He could
not eat, and his conduct caused doubts
regarding his sanity. DR.. Ainslee ex-
amined the dog, and found him suffer-
ing with a decaying back molar. and
decided an operation was necessary.
Colin was taken to the doctors office
Thursday and put into a chair. He
looked about him appealingly and cow
cred. When three dentists began to
poke things into his mouth however,
he growled and jumped through
window to the sidewalk and went home
Today the dog was cOaXcd back to the
office. a sponge saturated with chic
roform was held out to him, and he
investigated it with his nose until he
was asleep under its influence. When
he awoke his tOOthache was gone and
the cavity in his tooth was filled with
gold. He is probably the only dog in
the world with that kind Of tooth. He
does not know just what was done to
him, but he is happy and out of pain.
