ported to have said in late interview Spain will lose Cuba. That seems to me to be certain. She can not continue e the struggle. Already the conflict has cost her more than S200, 900, 900. Her money is gone and she can get no more. She has reached the limit of her borrowing capacity. She can not pay back what she has already bor- rowed. The only thing left for her to do is to repudiate her debts"

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Charles II. Chipman May Succeed In
His Desperate Trial.

Sh'Fses n. Sh1pman Nay succeed In
His Desperate Trial.
An attempt at suicide by illuminating gas
was made yesterday afternoon at the How
ard House by Charles H. Chapman, a white
man, about twenty-eght years Of age
thought to be from New York. He was
found about 3 o'clock by cne of the colored
porters of the hotel in an unconscious con-
dition, and was Immediately taken TO the
Emergency Hospital. where every hing pos
this afternoon by the physician N charge
however, that while Chipman's condition is
very critical. he has fair chance for re-
cCvery.
Chapman came to this city Wednesday
night ano registered at the Howard House
as F. E Young of Philadelphia. Thurs
day he arose and ate breakfast retiring
some time later to his room. He was not
missed during the day. but a porter no.
floor On which Chipman's room was located,
and finding that it came from his door
quickly effected an entrance and found
the young man as above stated. Po-
iceman SnultZ was called and ne quickly
summoned the ambulance from the En-. r
gency Hospital.
Two letters were left in the room One
funeral would be paid by friends in New
York. and declared his intention of ending
his life The other one stated that Chip
man had made the journey to this city eX-
pressly for the purpose of committing sui
eide Some unimportant papers and these
letters furnished the clue to the mans
identity. The only article of baggage pos
sesSed by Chapman was small hand sat
chel. which added nothing further to the
means of Identification.

WAS IN OHIO.
Robert FrOst's E6Orts to Get His
DaughteP.


The hearing on the application of Robert
Frost for the custody OF Goldie Marie
Frost or Collins, or Burroughs, as the
little child Of whom he claims to be the
father Is variously known, was again post
poned yesterday afternoon by Judge Cole.
who granted the writ Of habeas corpus.
The writ was issued against w. L. Bruen,
president OF the Bruen Home, an institu-
ton for destitute women and children, and
Mrs Elizabeth Fleck. they being required
to produce the child in court at 2:3O yes
terday afternoon.
When the case was reached late yester-
day afternoon, Mr.. Bruen's counsel, Mr..
Luckett, claimed that his client had not
been legally served, and that he had three
days in which to answer. The court sharp
ly remarked that counsel was mistaken,
as such a writ can be made returnable at
once. Mr. Luckett then read Mr.. Bruen's
answer, in which the respondent stated
that the child is not at the home, and that
he does not know Its present whereabouts.
The answer of Mrs. Fleck stated that the
18th of last month she had transferred the
child to Mrs. E. r. Alderman, by whom it
had been taken to Ohio. She was. there
FORE unable to produce 1t in court.
Counsel for Mr.. Frost, Messrs. Hamilton
and Locke, complained that the return of
Mrs. Alderman was nothing less than an
attempt to evade the process of the court,
and Mr.. Hamilton remarked that the child
could be gotten back from Ohio in a very
few minutes, intimating that the little one
was then much nearer the court than Ohio.
He also claimed that Mrs. Fleck should in
all fairness have stated explicitly just
where in Ohio the child is.
Judge Cole suggested that Ohio is a
rather large state, and agreed with Mr..
Frost's counsel that Mrs. Fleck should
have been much more definite In her an.
swer. Then Mr.. Luckett, after consulting
with Mr.. Bruen and several ladies, ex-
planned that IL given sufficient time they
would amend the return and endeavor to
man would allow it to be brought here.
That satisfied the other side and the case
was continued until 2:3O next Monday af-
ternoon.
Evening star., 1897-01-08

every kid OF them, but on the strict rules
of 5udicious advertising the boys ought to
know better than to antagonize the many
by shouting q sale to the few, for In Wash
ington the great bulk of Sunday sales are
made to persons who buy their papers be-
cause they want something to read, and
not because they are accommodating a
newsboy. The newsboys trade Is among
residents. and II the majority of residents
are against the noise In the early Sunday
morning, and those who don't care how
much the boys yell, don't ask them to do
so unless they want to, why shouldn't
they make themselves on terms with every
body by not antagonizing anybody? II
any newsboy knows anybody who refuses
to buy paper because the newsboy is
niece, quiet boy, I'd like to hear who the
person is, so arrangements may be made
for him over at st. Elizabeth. II the boys
go on making the fight they are now max
Ing, chiefly because a few anti-church peo-
pie started them on the crusade, they will
discover that some of their best customers
have left them to get their papers direct
from the offices by carrier. When this
happens will the boys or those who have
led them into this fight be the losers?
Now for the street car noises which the
boys or their leaders claim to be an ad-
vertisement Of the street car company,
which Is. of course, a "bloated monopolist,'
or something like that. 1t is rot to make
this kind Of an argument. Of course. but.
quite the same, the street car racket Is q
nuisance and should be abated. It should
be the rule that driver ring his bell, say,
twice at a crossing and no more, and that
other signals be adopted as may be neces-
sary. AS 1t now is, driver bangs away
Unfortunately and as often as he pleases,
80 that when it is really necessary to ring
an alarm. it is not distinguishable from the
regular style of signaling, at least, as 1t
sounds to man on the street AS to the
bells in use, they also should be changed
to dead bell, one that is non-resonant.
What good is SO much air-filling noise
when sharp sound to catch the immedi-
ate ear is all that is required? The cars
now use gongs that can be heard half a
mile on still morning, a noisiness en-
tirely uncalled for. Put on rattle, there
fore, or horn, and devise code of sig
mails, to be used just as little as Is neces-
sary. w. J. HAMPTON.
