Gcrtic Pearl Price Makes Three At
tempts ut Suicide.

Catasauuua. Pa, Oct. 27.-An at
tempt at suicide was made yesterday
afternoon at Hokendauqua by a chours
girl of q stranded opera company. The
woman's name is Gertrude Pearl Price.
While a member of an opera company
she became stranded with the rest of
the company at Chelsea, Mass, and
was sent to New York on boat. From
there the woman started out to get to
Chicago the best way she could. She
walked from Jersey City to Raritan, N.
j.. between Saturday night and Mon
day night. Then she was put on a
train and sent to Easton, Pa. The
Poor authorities there assisted her to
this place.
At about o'clock Miss Price landed
at Catasauqua and fifteen minutes
later she was on the high bridge span
ming the Lehigh River at Hokendau-
qua. She was hungry, destitute and
| penniless. She tried to jump from the
bridge into the water, but was chased
from the structure before she was able
to carry her intention into effect. AS
she got to the east end of the bridge
trolley car came along, and she threw
| herself on the tracks 70 be ground up.
| The car was stopped in time to pre-
vent her being hurt. The woman then
disappeared, and appeared at the rear
of the Thomas Iron Company's works.
She was about to jump from the bank
into the river, when Ed Kade and
Patrick McClain seized her and took
her in charge They brought her to
the Eagle Hotel at Catasauqua and
put her in charge of Chief Sheckler.
Capt Bartholomew provided her with
dinner at the hotel and made her COM
Portable An effort is being made this
afternoon to secure subscriptions to
send her to her friends at Chicago.

where shrieking men and women fierce
ly struggled in the darkness amid the
swishing fragments of cars, dying fires
of timber and kissing of the steam.
If there are any more bodies in the
wreck or in the river they are believed
to be in the day coach. which lies in
water up to its roof off King dock. The
diver who took six bodies out OF this
car said he could i,nd no more. Many
believe, however. that more bodies will
be found in this car, as passengers and
the crew claim at least twelve persons
perished in 1t.
The spot where the wreck occurred Is
one that has given the railroad author
tiles a great deal of trouble and anxiety
In the past on acCS5nt OF the tendency
Of the made grpand under the tracks
to wash out. That is Just what 1t did
Sunday. and to this fact is attributed
the terrible disaster.
President Chauncey NJ. Depew, of the
New York Central, Is anxious to ascer-
tain the exact cause OF the catastrophe,
and at his request the State Board Of
Railroad Commissioners will begin an
inquiry i'm New York City to-day into
all the circumstances connected with
the accident.
Cause of the Accident.
President Depew, at his office in the
| Grand Central Station, received no in
| telligence yesterday from the scene of
| the wreck which inclined him to alter
| his opinion, formed on Sunday, that no
| human foresight could have prevented
| the Garrison's catastrophe. AS to the
| cause Of wreck he had no opinion. All
was conjecture. He referred again to the
conjecture. He referred again to the
possibility that an axle of the engine
had broken and the force of the inn
| pact driven out the embankment.
Ashley W. Cole, chairman of the
State Railroad Commission, thinks that
after the engine is raised a commission
of civil engineers may be able to deter
mine the cause of the accident. But hi
admits that it may be impossible to tel
whether a broken axle was in itself the
cause or a result of the accident.
DR.. Depew commented on the added
misfortune attendant upon the loss o
the engineers life, in that only the en-
gineer. if any one, could tell what real
| ly happened to his train. IT had beel
thought that the bodies of the enginee
and fireman and Stenographer Mckay
of General Superintendent Van Etten'
; office, would be found with the engine
; When the engine was located yesterda,
and none of the bodies was foun'
with 1t, it became clear that the me-
} must have jumped or were hurled ou
of the cab when the locomotive wen
I over. That 1t was found seventy-fiv
d feet south Of the place where it left tn
track and fifty feet out in the rivel
v seemed to show somewhat the terrifl
n force which the train under way rer
resented. and was cited by DR.. Dope
as an indication of what damage to tn
K embanlsment would have been done
an axle of the engine had broken.

A Commissioned Tip.

The future historian may hunt in vain
| for record Of the crime that theate ROGERS
OF the, male sex sometime must have COM
mitted against the late Mr.. Gainsborough;
| but there always will be available data in
plenty relating TO the fiendish persistency
with which he has punished them With
that hat during the whole life of the current
generation. His revenge has been soiled
and satanic but it has gone too far The
miserable worm of the dust called Man
has been cornered in his last social ditch,
and has turned. The scene Of the saltation
was Chicago.
After years of effort to surmount that
hat, the everyday American, barn-yard
horse sense Of an humble Chicago alder
man of Teutonic genesis has cut the Gains
buric Knot All attempts to police the
fair bearers OF these Babylonish roof gar
dens had failed. Both the state and the
female constitution had been found in
superable- Then the homophhil alderman
conceived the happy idea of lighting upon
the theater managers with a penal ordi-
nance. Thereupon, a measure was pa ssed
filming the manager every time a hat ap-
pears in the house. The municipal legal
department says the ordinance will work,
and the mayor has, or will, gn the same
Henceforward, stage, proscenuim and bald
head row will he exposed to public view in
all their shining hideousness, and Virtue
chuckles cheerily to think that the veil,
which SO long and fully has concealed the
real wickedness OF the theater, is rent at
last; leaving this gilded den of worldIness
with as little to enfog its true inwardness
as coochee-coochee dance at a bachelors
dinner would have.
The local moral to be drawn from the
Chicago revolution is obvious. If the Windy
City can protect its suffering citizens from
that hat. with the Constitution and the
ladies against 1t, the way to redemption
ought easily to be open here in Washing
ton. In region free from tile ills of
municipal legislation, where the theory

The II ackage Equally Guilty.

The Misrepresentation element in the
United States while very virtuous and
enthusiastic, is not always consistent. 1t
regards the manufacture and sale of every
sort and description OF liquid, carrying
any percentage of alcohol detectahle by
chemical analysis, as an evil which should
be wiped out, root and branch. on the
other hand. it is inclined to hug itself
over governmental partnership in the
distilling anc compounding business: and it
refuses to see any sin in the poisonous
adulteration of liquors by dishonest deal
ers, although that is VIGOROUSLY demoral-
iZing to public health and morals
There is another direction in which the
inconsistency OF tins moral force is in
evidence. Whenever legislation is pro-
posed to harass tile liquor interest proper
prohibition influence is very apparent at
the Capitol, urging and pushing Congress
sionaI action to the extreme OF presented
possibility. But we do not observe that
of rum, with its barrels and bottles, who
manufacture those receptacles for the soul
destroyer. are particularly pursued by the
angel OF reform. The soulless corporations
that fatten upon the whisky bottles, who
batten upon the Kentucky pocket pistol,
and dine daily upon the usufruct of the
dementing demijohn; they may come to
the front for more protection, for more
government inrerposition against the pau
per bottle labor of Europe; and no word Of
hindrance exude from the cohorts of the
ice cooler.
Yet it is plain that without the wicked
wares they produce; without the tumbler,
the bottle, and the jeering jug, the liquor
business would have to stop. Then why
not fasten the fangs Of prohibition upon
s the throat of the flagon? 1t is ends, not
means, that true devotion to a single idea
considers. Deprive the evil one OF his
pitchfork, or Of anything to bottle his
victims in, and where would he be at?
