 The artist has caught them grouped as naturally as if they had been pho- tographed in a bunch. In this connec- tion there is one slight defect. The grouping is little too low and too much in the foreground, but in spite of this there has probably never been so natural a grouping of horses in any American or foreign picture. Horse men say that the work is as natural as If the horses had been photographed in a pasture.
 This picture is the first of the kind ever produced, and it required the skill of an artist as we'll as that of prac- tical photographer to achieve the sue cess which is stamped upon every part of the great work. Every horse is painted in his own colors and every group is from photographs of the indf- vidual horses composing the group. It required extreme Knowledge of art to gain the perspective and the grouping in such way as to appeal to horse men as well as to the general public, and it required a high class photog- rapher to transfer the details of pho- tograph to a canvas that blends the accuracy of the camera with the poetic and lifelike touches and melodies or ar tistic creation.

 You are friendly toward P. F. Dun don, are you not?" asked Attorney Cope.
 "No, sir" replied the witness. Tn fact, we have been antagonistic toward him for over a year.

william {. Svcat's Determined At
tempt Mt Suicide.

Mr.. William c. Sweat attempted suicide
yesterday at the city dispensary. He
swallowed four grains of morphine in a
solution, and il required hard work by Dr.
Raiston baltimore and DR.. G. 3. Johnson
10 overcome the drug. The morphine was
taken on top of a dose Of thirty grains Of
cocaine. and this made it all the harder to
save the mans lfe.
Mr. Sweat walked into the d.spensary
about noon lie was spoken to by Mr.. A.
y O'Keene, the manager, who was talk
ing with DR.. Johnston. There was no,h-
ing unusual or suspicious in his actions.
Mr.. OKeeffe and Or. johnson noticed that
MIR. Sweat walked behiud the counter in
rather a familiar manner but they set
this down to his being a druggist, and,
therefore, entitled 10 liberties that would
not have been expected of one not Of the
profession.
He remained behind the counter a few
second and then came ont and sat down
on a stool. where he remained until Mr..
Wacaser. Mr.. O'Keeffes assistant, came
in. which was but a few minutes later.
He walked up TO MI Wacaser and tod
him goodby, saying ne would never see
him again, that he had just taken a dose
OF four grains OF morphine, and that II
was all up with him. He then went out
The door.
Mr.. WacasCr turned 10 Mr. o keeffe and
asked him if he had heard what Sweat
had said Nj O'Keeffe ran out TO catch
the wouid-be suicide. He overlook him
about a block away. a Charlton and
Barnard streets. Sweat did not want to
return 10 The dispensary. and protested
strongly. but Mr.. OKeeffe took him by
the arm and urged him back.
Al the dispensary Mr.. O'Keeffe turned
Sweat over to DR.. Johnson, who had wait
ed his return, and then went himself in
search of DR.. baltimore, and at once
brought him 30 the dispensary. There
both doctors went TO work on the man.
Emetics were given, and his stomach was
washed out, with the result that after two
hours hard work. he was pronounced out
Of danger. so far as The effects of the
morphine were concerned. He was then
taken by DR.. Johnson to the Savannah
hospital.
While he was being treated Sweat, who
was with difficulty prevented from go
ing to sleep. said he had taken thirty
grains of cocaine not long before, and that
he wanted 10 die His statement about
the cocaine was substantiated by the find
ing of an empty bottle that had contained
the drug. This was taken from his pock-
ct The dilated pupils of his eyes also
showed that cocaine had been taken. The
doctors were uncertain as to the effects
of this drug until after their patient had
been at the hospital for some time, as it
is slow in its work
1t was thought at the hospital last night
that Sweat would recover.
The attempt at suicide was brought on
by dependency. Sweat has been out of
employment for a long time. and his in
ability to find anything 20 do has preyed
upon his mind. He has a wife and child.

COMING FROM Porto RICO.
Cavalry and Artillery to Come Back

Cavalry and Artillery to Come Back
to Savannah on the Michigan.
The transport Michigan which left Sa-
vannah few days ago with six troops of
the Fifth United States Cavalry, will re-
turn TO Savannah probably about Nov.
90 with four batteries OF light artillery
ana two troops of cavalry.
Orders for The return of The transport 10
Savannah have already been issued. and
Instructions have just come to Cen Lee
from the war department TO have prepared
the necessary camps for these artllerymen
and troops of cavalry. These troops will
be placed IN camp here temporarily to re-
cuperate. as it is ihe intention of The war
department 90 send them TO Cuba with
the Second and Seventh Army Corps.
1t was first thought that the artillery
and cavalry would be sent 10 Fort Sher-
dan and Fort Riley, but this arrangement
seems TO have been changed. The govern
ment has learned, no doubt that Savan-
nah is about as good health resort for
the troops as can he found, and they wifi
remain here until ready to move again.
The use of this pori as point of en-
barkation and debarkation of troons WI
mean great deal more for Savannah than
many people think. Troops viii be CON
stantly going and coming between Cuha
Porto Rico and the United States for tho
next two years and perhaps longer. Sa-
vannah has the advantages for proDerlv
handling the troops, and their coming ana
going through here will be of great ad-
vantage TO The city.
