TOOK CARBOLIC ACID
Matte Wilson Makes Another At
tempt to Die

Matte Wilson, a dissolute woman, at
tempted to commit suicide last night by
swallowing carbolic acid. but as her action
was known about as soon as 1t was COM
mitted she was hurried to the receiving
hospital and her life saved The woman is
known to the police. having served 30
day sentence, and has several times been
TAKEN to the hospital and resuscitated af-
ter she had tried. to end her life. She has
| been living at 309 Wall street. with wom-
an named Stella Sunni, who consorts
there with young man whose name is
said to be Fred Lentz. and whose occupa-
ton is that of cook. The Wilson woman
probably has a male companion also, but
his name is not known.
Yesterday Matte appeared to be in ex-
cellent spirits, and during the evening
played cards with her companions. Stella
SUNNI is quite i'll in bed. and Matte left
the house to go out a short while during
the evening. During her absence she pur-
chased bottle Of carbolic acid The Sum-
mi woman seemed to have a premonltion
that something was going to happen. for,
reading the cards" she declared that
there would be death in the house of a
club woman" AS Matte is dark, this was
supposed to be prophetic of her impending
fate.
Matte returned about II o'clock, and
conversed with her friends, and shortly be-
fore IL o'clock left the room and was gone
quite while. She went into her bed room,
adjoining that OF the Sunni woman, and
lay down. An attempt was made. ia arouse
her, and then the crowd feared she had
really swallowed the poison, so physician
was sent for. Matte stopped her sham
ming, and inquired what they had done
an0 when informed that they thought she
mad swallowed the carbolic acid, she re-
pHeo that she would take it, any how. She
then rushed out onto the porch. and the
SUNNI woman and Fred started after her.
Inc SUNNI woman was too weak to stand,
and fell. so Fred had to put her in bed
again. When he reached Matte she had
taken mouthful of the acid He jerked
the bottle out Of her hand, but could not
prevent her from swallowing some of the
MUD. She was removed to the receiving
hospital, where after working for n hour
over her, DR.. Hagan pronounced her out
of danger.

Der at the close of
the war some people were very much wor-
ried about the negroes. What could we do
with them? One project l remember that
was seriously advanced was to load them
all on to ships and colonize them on big
island somewhere and keep them there.
No one was to be allowed to land there ex-
cept government officials, and all their
supplies were to be sent from this country.
Lots of people thought that unless we did
something of this sort we would be over
run with them. and they would eventually
get the upper hand of everything. This
government is, after all, capable of solv-
ing any difficulty that presents itself. That

John X. Witherspoon also and he was one

Gold Found in the Philippine Islands
On Mindanao, one of the Philippine is
lands, gold is found In the river beds, but,
owing to the primitive conditions prevail
ing there, it is not known how rich these
deposits are. With the advance of civiiza-
ton in tho Philippines. however this mat
ter will be fully Investigated by shrewd
prospectors. Great discoveries may be
made, but no discovery was ever greater
than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
civilization long ago investigated and
found to be all that is claimed for it, In
cases of loss Of appetite, Indigestion, bill
iousness and constipation it acts In a truly
wonderful manner. The bowels are made
to act mildly, the desire for food is in
creased, sour stomachs are sweetened, and
a healthy color Is given to the face. The
