Tho Victory In This Case Gained By Partial

feror from 1t, that may BIO of interest and of
use to somebody. ! am very fond of smoking.

To prove, an excessive use OF tobacco; and I

go TO bed and almost invariably go 10 sleep
and stay there.
~ suppose the simple facts are these: Smok-

than at other times, and tho subsequent period
OF abstinence from smoking, before going TO
bod, gives the nerves q chance to regain their
normal cOmposure. Under such conditions

John Tyson of Alb West Sixteenth street.

the brilliant scheme Of pretending to commit
suicide In order to punish her for upbraiding

reaching home he held the bottle up before his
wife and. yelling Its poison; I've taken 1t.

writhe in pretended agony.
Mrs. Tyson is a woman OF action. She called
her brother and made him take Tyson around to
the West Twentieth street station. Half way
there Tyson thought he'd let his brother'in.law
in the secret. He told him all about the joke on
his wife. Unfortunately his companion didn't
believe him. He kept on to the station house,
and, when he got there. had tho Sergeant send
to the New York Hospital for an ambulance.
The ambulance came and. despite Tyson's pro-
tests, the surgeon put IA stomach pump at work
on him. AS there wasn't The slightest evidence
of any poisoning. he was thrown into "a cell for
the rest of the night as punishment for making
so much trouble Tor tho police.
Yesterday morning he WAS arraigned in the

unhappy. Mrs. Tyson sat IN the spectators
that he had made a nuisance Of himself and

play by Henri Mcilhac, and TO one that, John

b'ArronRo took his German play directly froma
farce by Labiche, which was acted In Paris In
1869 and called "Tho Choice of n Son.in-Law."
So Miss Morton Is quite as much entitled TO
the idea OF "His Wito's Father" as tho Berlin
dramatist.
The Berlin critics, in c%ondemning the prohi-
bition of Sudcrmann's John the Baptist ro-
call that Biblical characters have frequently
bcen seen there in drama and opera. Moses
was n parsonage In n recent spectacular play,
and other Old Testament figures have been put
on tho stage. Mnsscnct's "HCrodiadc " has
recently been revived In Germany. and IL deals
with the same subject as that OF Sudcrmnnn's
play. The part OF John the Baptist was writ

higher courts will permit the drama.

THE NEW JERSEY RACING Law.
Efforts to Defeat the Anti betting Amendment
nt tho Constitutional Election.

TRENTON. NJ, Sept. s.-Although the special
posed to the Constitution will DC hold only three
weeks hence, there is littlo interest being taken
In 1t. 1t was announced some time ago that the
churches intended to organize and mako an en-
ergetic fight In favor Of tho anti-race-track
amendment. and nothing has yet been done bc-
yond the sending out OF q request for the pastors
to preach on the amendment next Sunday.
Neither the Republican nor Democratic State or
county organizations will put forth any effort
either in favor OF or against the amendment. al
though attempts have been made to get the Re-
publican committees to indorso 1t on the ground
that its presentation Is the work OF Republican
Legislatures. The amendment reads as follows:
Amend paragraph 2 OF section Z Of Article
". so as to read as FELLOWSHIP. No lottery shall
be authorized by the Legislature or otherwise In
this State, and no ticket in any lottery shall DO
bought or sold within this State. nor shall pool.
selling. bookmaking, or gambling OF any kind
be authorized or allowed within this State; nor
shall any gambling device. practice. or game OF
chance now prohibited by law be leEalized, or
the remedy, penalty, or punishment now pro-
vided therefor be In any way diminished
The amendments are printed on one ballot,
Snfer rn to ir csncel tbs pp r,nsed i tmEsI bs Wishes 81 TO 10
vote against. This gives an advantage to the
friends Of tho amendment. as many OF the voters
~ ca NOtSN w vast lbS ohiAoN 10 ~ 40 . - ~
them. without taking the trouble TO either read
or mark 1t.
One of the other amendments gives to women
tho right TO vote at sch DOL elections In districts
where member OF the Board OF Education and
other school officers are elected. and the other
prohibits the appointment to Office by the Gov
ernor during n recess of the Legislature of any
person who has been nominated to the Senate
and not confirmed. There is no opposition TO
these. but there is n large and growing opposi'
ton to the anti-raoo,trask amendment.
Much of the bitter feeling prevalent three or
four years ago has died out as the memory OF
winter racing In the mud. and the cNcesscs OF
the patrons OF the second class tracks has faded.
One can lind many prominent citizens who were
clamoruus for the amendment two years ago,
who now doubt the eNpedicnCy Of grating on
the Constitution the prohibition contained in
the amendment. Besides these there are many
thousands who are in favor of racing as 1t was
conducted at the Long Branch and Elizabeth
tracks. and hope to see II re.cstablished in New
Jersey. These men are actively engaged in mis-
sionary work against the amendment. and. n:
the vote is sure 10 be light. ii will not be much
OF n surprise IL the anti-race-track amendment
is defeated,

ated from Dartmouth in 1S41. He then
entered the law school of Cambridge
and practiced law in Boston until 1879,
when he removed to Washington to Sc
cure a milder climate.
He early became interested in the Bell
telephone and in 1889 retired from the
practice of law to devote himself to its;
interests. He was the controlling spirit
in it's financial affairs during the next
five years. After it was introduced in
this country, he crossed to the old world
and organized the International. Orient
al and ether companies. He secured i'm
portant concessions from the Russian
government and installed splendid
system in the Empire, Of the Gear.
His next important service for the
company was in connection with the
celebrated Berliner patent, which he so
managed as to prolong greatly the Bell
Company's control of the field.
Prior to coming to Washington he had
been connected with several important
enterprises of Cambridge, Mass, and
also had taken an active interest in deaf
mute education, his daughter losing her
hearing as the result of severe illness.
He was appointed by President Grant as
special commissioner to report on rail-
road mail transportation.

Upon the day Of the homicide, HUI

hour all went to lunch together at the
home Of the defendant. He deliberately
tasted the soup twice and then going tc
another room, procured pistol with
which he returned and shot his wife in
the head.
For some months prior to the killing
Hubert had been at outs with his wife
and had treated her most brutally Often
he had threatened to take her life and
declared that she had tried to poison
him. He had been a heavy drinker
After his most deliberate act had been

Dixon, a resident of that section,
mounted her horse, and with dog fol-
lowing started to visit some neighbors.
On her way she sighted deer and gave
chase. The animal ran up the canyon
and then, doubling on it's tracks, crossed
the road in front of the horse. The
deer then attacked Mrs. Dixon, striking
her with it's fore feet and trying to
hook her with it's horns. The dog began
biting at the deer's legs and diverted
the animals attention. Mrs. Dixon was
thus given time to regain her feet Pick

striking it over the head. The first blow
