PARTISAN SUICIDE MODES.

Sudden Resolves Followed by Exc
cution In n Cold-Blooded Manner.
Suicide Is developing strange forms
A dressmaker was working with her
three assistants one evening recently,
when they began to talk of their
troubles, and three of the women, all
about 25 years of age, coming to the
conclusion that life was not worth liv-
ing, decided to kill themselves at once.
The fourth, a girl of 81, said that she
did not care to be left alone and would
die, too. They all wrote farewell let
ters to their friends, sent out for bot
tie of cherry brandy and some char
coal, stopped up the openings into the
room, lit the charcoal and drank the
brandy. They were heard laughing
and singing until Late in the night by
the neighbors, and all four were found
dead the next morning. A few days
before an actress in one of the minor
theaters, who was supping with three
female friends, told them that she
meant 10 kill herself. They discussed
the best means for accomplishing her
purpose and decided on poison. She
went at once to a drug store and pro-
cured what she wanted, drank 1t in the
presence of her friends without inter
ference, and, after watching her con-
WILSON'S and seeing that the poison had
done its work, they called in police
man and told him what had happened.

The Fourth was in all respects a
perfect day; little cold, but not
enough to make it unpleasant. 1t

SAMPSON AND SCHLEY.

As the fuller details Of the fight in
which Cervera's feet was destroyed
come in, it is seen that the actual con-
duct of the wonderful running battle
was in the hands of Commodore
Schley. This is a matter of great
qualification to the country, because
ever since his heroic expedition to
rescue Greedy from the frozen north
and his gallant action in the bay at
Valparaiso when in command of the
Baltimore, we have all looked upon
him as destined by fate to become
one Of the nation S heroes. His per-
sonal part in the battle of last Sun
day has fulfilled our expectations,
and henceforth his name will be
written on the roll where history
will preserve the memory of Ameri-
cans who have fought well for their
country.
But, with all this, says the De
troit Journal, there can be nothing
taken from the fame OF Admiral
Sampson, who was in command of the
fleet that has been waiting patiently
SO long off the mouth OF Santiago
harbor. 1t is his genius and skill
that have disposed of the vessels Of
the fleet for their arduous duty, that
have kept the officers and men on
the qui vive, that have directed the
various assaults on the forts, that
have made certain Hobson s magni.
ficent feat, that have aided in land.
ing an army, and rendered possible
the final wiping out OF the Spanish
feet in Cuban waters and the
eventual fall Of Santiago de Cuba.
Merely that his flagship did not get
into the fight when Cervera made
his dash until the close of the action,

COL. BLISS INJURED.
Explosion OF Fireworks Blew of

Col, A. 7, Bliss, OF Saginaw, ex-
department commander of the
Michigan department, G. A. R.,
met with a painful injury whileen-
tertaiaing party OF friends with o
display OF fireworks at his residence
in that city Monday evening. The
colonel was in the act of setting of
war piece when it exploded
prematurely, partially SCATTERING
his right hand. The thumb was
completely blown off, and the sec
ond and third fingers so badly
lacerated that amputation was
necessary.

NOT ONE OF ENEMY's
SHIPS ESCAPED.
Continued from page one.


Spanish loss was, but it is believed
to have been very heavy, as the
prisoners in custody report their
decks strewn with dead and wound
ed in great numbers, and besides
there is a statement that many
bodies could be seen fastened to the
pieces of wreckage floating in the
sea after the fight was over. A
large number of the Spanish wound
ed were removed to the American
ships.
There can be no doubt that Ad.
miral Cervera plan to escape from
Santiago harbor was entirely unex-
pected by Admiral Sampson, and
the best evidence of this is the fact
that when the Spanish vessels were
seen coming out of the harbor the
flagship New York was seven miles
away steaming TO the eastward to-
ward Juragua, tie military base,
nine miles east of Moro.
The New York was out of the
fight altogether at every stage, but
she Immediately put about and fol-
lowed the others.
Capt. Evans, who had been in the
thick of the engagement up to the
time he took the Vizcayas officers
and crew from the shore, said that
To the best of his knowledge not one
American ship had been disabled.
The torpedo Ericsson, which also re-
turned from the westward at about
the same time, made a similar re-
port.

they would be permitted to live,

Another Temperance Lesson.

There is no known antidote for the
bite Of the tiger in Australia. Persons
bitten die almost instantly, and the gov
eminent has standing offer of 1000
for anyone who will discover a remedy.
Some few years ago young man ac-
tually discovered an efficacious anti
dote. To prove its value he allowed
himself to be bitten repeatedly by
snakes in full possession of the power
to kill. One day he gave an exhibition
before some government officials, but,
being much under the influence Of
liquor, he did not recollcct what he had
done with his antidote, and he died
shortly after the snake bite, his secret
perishing with him.

other day, when one related q tale Of a

his earlier days. A case was being tried
before jury in the Justices court,
there being large number of witnesses
on both sides. The lawyers commended
fercely and the trial dragged on until
the taking Of evidence and the argu-
ments before the jury had been con-
GUIDED
We'll, gentlemen, are you through?''
asked the justice, addressing himself to
the lawyers.
Upon their reply in the affirmative
he then addressed himself to the jury,
saying:
Gentlemen, it is now the duty of
tho court to say something to you. You
have heard the evidence of many wit
nesses and have heard what the lawyers
have said. will say that know all the
witnesses and know them to be such
disreputable persons that it will not be
necessary for You to pay any attention
to what they have said even under oath.
Not one of them is to be believed. As
for the lawyers, they are such scoun-
drels You need pay no attention to what
they have said, and as for the two liti-
giants, they are SO mean it doesn't make
any difference which one of them gets
the worst of your decision Retire and
