Mrs. Albert Sugland's Suicide.

A suicide at Saxtons River Tuesday has
interest here from the fact of the family
being well known and often seen upon our
streets. Mrs. Albert Sugland, a white
woman who has lived for many years with
a negro as his wife, took dose of lauda-
mum Tuesday morning, with the avowed
purpose of self-destruction, and died in the
evening. They have lived the past year
and half in one of c. c. Frost's tene-
ment houses, where she was when found
suffering from the effects of the drug. DIR.
Osgood was called and did his best to save
her life, but without avail. They had
lived in Westminster village eight or ten
years previous to moving to SaxtOns River,
and no one seems to know who the woman
was, or where she came from previous to
that. The two were between so and 60
years of age, the woman said to be So

man, but addicted to drink. At West
minister he took the cure for the habit and
went without drinking a year or so, but
soon relapsed, and the dependency of the
woman was caused by his vicious habits
and abuse. The body is to be buried in
the cemetery at Westminster today.

Unless Ferdinand W. Peck, the Com
missioner-General OF the United states
20 the Paris Exposition, succeeds in per-
suading ce-President Garrett A. Hobart
10 visit Paris in 1900. we shall have no
national building.
II Is one Of the rules of the EXPOSE
ton that no country can have separate
building unless the executive, or ruler,
of that country announces his Intention
of visiting the Exposition. OF course
President Mckinley cannot leave the
country as one of the rules OF our Con-
stltution prevents him from leaving his
country during his term OF office: but
COMMISSIONS Peck hopes to secrre the
promise OF Vice President Hobart, and
in that case he viii return and endeavor
10 convince the French authorities that
the presence of the Vice-President Is as
satisfactory as that OF the President.
Notwithstanding this fact the United
States is - have o great deal of space
in the Paris Exposition. Although the
Exposition covers Only an area of 335
acres of ground with walks, drives aud
thoroughfaras, the United States has Sc
cured up to date. an allotment OF over
ten of these precious acres, and there

OF the Woman's building. for Americans
are determined that their women shall
be represented in building Of their
own. But this the commissioners OF the
Paris Exposition cmphdticaly refuse.
They decline TO erect a building into
which the visitor steps prepared to adj
mire everything because it is done by
women.
on the contrary they say that such
building would be a nuisance at the Fair.
and they point out the dread with which
men were drawn into the magnificent
woman's building az the Columbian Ex
position.
ON the other hand they pay women
the great tribute OF placing their work
on an equality with men. If woman
has designed loom, the loom goes In
the building Of Inventions side by side
with a loom designed by man. If the
woman's bit OF invention Is not as clever
as that OF the man, II Is judged on its
merit solely.

expense of a womans building. the wo-

but paris can give only one half Of this
space. Unfortunately II IS decided 10
erect the Exposition buildings in the
very heart OF the city and therefore II
cannot be spread out as In the Norlu
Fair. 49,,
The Paris commissioners, on being
urged TO hold the Exposition on the out
skirts OF the city, replied that the lacil-
ties for urban traffic were so limited that
Il would be impossible 10 transport the
people 10 the fair. II would be absolutely
necessary 10 erect 81 in the heart OF
Paris.
