ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

James Walsh, young man despon- dent at being out of work, entered Wa dewitz's drug store at 916 Congress ave- nue Saturday night and called for fif- teen cents worth of sugar of lead. which he said he wanted to use exter- nally. Having obtained it he drank it down before the druggist knew what he was doing. Walsh soon became un- conscious. He was taken to the hos pital, where he was pumped out, and rallied sufficiently to tell his name and residence. He resided with his father, Charles Walsh, at 15 Winthrop avenue, and formerly worked for the Blakeslees as teamster. Walsh is the young man who occasionally goes to police head quarters and has fits He had one there about month ago, and the police had to handcuff him, so violent were his actions. He is of melancholy disposi- tion. He was so far recovered yester- day that he was discharged from the hospital.

HE OWNS 4 MINE.


 Wants Capital to Dig the Gold-Gold is Always Hard to Get as Will be shown at Hyperion, September 14th-The Yield of Klondike Mines in 1895.
 A we'll known New Haven business man, with a hearty physique, called up- on Mir. c. F. Southard Saturday and said: T read in the newspapers that you are about to boom the Klondike gold mines." ... .
 MT. Southard dissented from this view of the matter, but said he did eX- pect to tell the story of Alaska with the aid of the stereopticon at the lily perion theater on Tuesday evening. September 14.
 Well" said the visitor, q want to show you nugget of gold taken rlght out of Connecticut hills," and from ms vest pocket he produced lump of the yellow metal.
 Now, there it is-real, rich, yellow gold, and I want to say, and say 1t good and loud, that if I could raise capital enough to work this Connecticut gold mine I'd prove to people that they needn't risk freezing and starving to death in Alaska.
 Now, I'm not going to tell you jest where this gold was dug. Thousands of people pass and repass 1t every week, but it is there is paying quantl- ties."
 This gentleman is in dead earnest about this gold mine, which, he says has by a crude experiment shown a paying yield of about $S5 ton of the soil handled.
 However, 1t is most unfortunate TOT the many discoverers of gold in Con- necticut and elsewhere that the eXperl- mental treatment always shows up well, but when it comes to handing large quantities it never pays. For instance: Wizard Edison declares that the mud in the streets of New 1ork city shows a yield of gold, but it's elu- sive when you try to get It.
 Not eighty miles from New Haven stands gold mining plant, with tons of rich dirt about it, ready to be work ed. Fully s100OOO was spent there dur ing the past two years in an endeaVor to get the gold in paying quantltles' Every experiment made would result in bringing into the crucible a httle yellow nugget, and this will-o'-the-wisp led to repeated and costly attempts, only to bring bitter disappointment in the end.
 One hundred thousand dollars sunk to get s25 worth of gold-that's the sto- ry. But the gold fields of Alaska are real. as Mr. Southard's photographs will show.
 The director of the United States mint gives the estimated amount of gold produced by the Yukon district in 1895 as s7090O0 and $69,6S9 for outside creeks. It may have cost half of this sum to mine it, but the balance IS a good profit.
 MT. Southard will depend almost en- tirely upon the photographs to tell the story, and he believes that they will settle the question in every man ano woman's mind whether they ought tc go or remain at home and invest money in mining at KlOndike.

and moves on to it's fulfilment. But the world drags him down on every side. Passions and ambitions assail him. Temptations swim before his eyes. Finally, just at the threshold of his career one temptation tiercer than all comes. He fights and battles and comes out victor, buy purged through as by fire. One day he says, Show me the Father?' What the Father might answer him, was I so long time with you in that struggle and you knew Me knot? And the young mans eyes are opened. He realizes that perhaps he will never again get so real vision of God as he got in those hard days. Did Jesus learn more of God anywhere, than He did in the temptation in the wilderness?
 "These are just instances of what is forever true of all the experiences that come to us. They are the very temple of God-His garment the body in which His very spirit dwells. And Enoch walked with God what does 1t mean but that he saw God in ever thing, I read little book of Tolstoi's once. I haven't the slightest idea now what was in it, but I rememper the title, and that is enough Where is love, there God is also,'
 We come now in the third place of higher sphere, where this is most plainly true-the region of personality. As we said at the beginning, the aim of God is to get into His world and take possession of its life. From creation He has been yearning and striving to real ize His complete indwelling. But it was not until man appeared that He could incarnate Himsel fin all entirety as di- vine personality as fatherhood and love. Tn Jesus we have the largest in- dwelling, the fullest incarnation, the satisfaction of God. He and the Father were one. But Jesus belongs to the race, and what Is true of Him is true | in degree of all men. So the incarna- ton of God is forever gong on in hu- manity, and whatever of love and | righteousness and peace there is in a man is just that much of the nature of God breathing through him and mak- | ing itself manifest to the world.
 Thus all human life Is alive with His presence. He shines out in face of martyr and apostle, of saints both high and lowly, of every human being that | has opened his heart to His indwelling. | How often God has been with us and we knew it not! How often have we l looked into eyes that were radiant with His glory and we saw Him not!
 "A man and woman become married.
 They live together in beautiful home life, each loving and being loved, bless ing and being blessed, through a long span of years. How much bravery and rage and faith and hope the woman saw in her husband as he fought the
 battle of life for her and hers How much patience and gentleness and wis dom and self-sacrifcing the man saw in his wife as she led the children from in-
 fancy to youth and breathed into them
 her spirit. Oh, if each one only reallz-
 ed that what they were seeing in the 1 other was the greatest revelation oi | God and His attributes they will ever
 see in this world except in Jesus, anG that this is necessary even to the full
 est understanding of His complete rev.
 elation, they would never have said Show us the Father"
