GIRLS TAKE PARIS GREEN
TWO YOUNG WOMEN IN HENDRICKS
BLOCK ATTEMPT SUICIDE.
Marie Henry and Doris York. Each
Aged Seventeen, Found Suffering
s-Their Case Peculiar.

The notorious Hendricks block tenement
at Monument Place and West Market street
was the scene of an unusual attempt at sui
eide yesterday. two girls, each seventeen
years old and prepossessing, taking paris
green to end the woes which they felt the
world had imposed upon them. After they
were brought around by the Dispensary
physicians they denied that they had inten-
tons of ending their lives. although the
circumstances surrounding the case strongly
indicate that they took the deadly drug with
this design. Marie Henry, or Faulkner, as
her real name is believed to be- was not
out of danger at midnight when the Dis
pensary physicians, Drs. Marker and Jaeger,
left the block, after having done all that
they could do to relieve the condition of
the two young women. Doris York, or
Stevens, as her right name is said to be,
was entirely out of danger. The inmates of
the block said that both girls had at diff
ferent times in the past taken carbolic acid
with suicidal intent.
The Dispensary was first notified of a
poisoning case in Room 81 of the block
about o'clock at night, and on calling
there found the Henry woman suffering in
tensely. 1t was thought at first that the
woman had taken strychnine. She was UNI
conscious, DuL the pHySlCldh IlHdiiy SUI
ceeded in rallying her. While they were
still working on this woman. Doris York,
who was a roommate of Marie Stevens,
was taken suddenly i'll, and one of the
doctors, turning his attention to her, found
she was suffering from the same causes. as
those which had put her companion in such
a precarious condition. The stomach pump
and other means of relief were used dill
gently on both women for several hours.
The cause of the attempt at suicide is not
apparent. The keeper of the tenement says
the girls came to the place few days ago,
and it seems had only recently become ac-
quainted with each other. Miss Henry
claimed to be a music teacher, and an
class of pupils. Miss York was lately en-
ployed as a waitress at the Normandie
cafe. on South Illinois street. The two had
a number of male friends who frequently
Miss Henry came from Alexandria, and had
followed a man in whom she was interested
to several parts of the country, he being
unable to dodge her. Miss York, 1t is SAID,
of the women was ascertained last night d
number of men gathered in their room.
One of the girls told the doctors that she
had been out to Brighton Beach last Fri
day with a number of men and women. AS
they were about to leave the place she says
one of the men insisted on her taking an
other drink of whisky, She says that the
sembled powdered ice. She was taken very
i'll afterwards, and insists that she was un-
conscious several hours from the effect of
this last drink of whisky.
The DiSpenSary physicians are conndent
that the women took paris green yesterday,
and add that they practically admitted TO
the doctors that they had taken this drug.

Consideration
Only.
PRESIDENT HALL


President Frank 3. Hall Of the COM
mon council is not particularly elated
at the treatment of his plan for a
change in the method of electing alder
men, by the board of aldermen at Tues
day evenings meeting, yet he feels he
has the aldermen on the hip as the mat
ter must come up again II desired
simply to sow the seeds of agitation, 8"
said he to The Spy man, yesterday,
and 1 have done so. 1t Will come be-
fore the incoming city council, wheth-
er the aldermen desire it or not
1T was discourteous act" he con-
tinued, "on the part of the aldermen.
The merits of the plan Were not to be
determined. Even wildcat schemes are
referred, to get the consideration of a
committee, and that is all ! asked.
The action of the board of aldermen
made the republicans more solidIy in
favor Of the measure, and they will eX-
ert themselves to force its attention by
the board. / did not want to have the
matter passed. They could have seen
that at glance. When a matter is to
be referred to the Legislature it must
be acted on by the city government,
and as last evening" meeting was the
last that Woul1 have been impossible.
My only reason for introducing it last
evening was because l could speak on
t. w men the matter comes up in the
new city council l cannot do that"
When it comes up again it will re-
ceive democratic votes. think demo-
Gratis of wards 3 and will vote in favor
of the matter. As things are now ward
is in the position Of the white man in
the white man and Indian incident"
I hey shot a turkey and buzzard. When
they came to divide the spoils the white
man suggested that he would take the
turkey and give the Indian the buzzard,
or the Indian could take the buzzard
and he would take the turkey.
The Indian thought the offer fair
enough, but couldn't understand how
it was that he got the buzzard every
time. Under minority representation
ward 4 gets the turkey and the others
get the buzzard. Alderman Huot is op-
posed to it because it knocks out men
like him who live in a democratic ward.
Under minority representation the dem
ocrats have never had men of the cal
ibre they had when the entire city
elected aldermen.
elAC II illCi4 dS JOllll mayer,
Andrew Athy NJ. J. p. McCafferty,
| Francis Plunkett and others; have the
democrats of recent years had such
men of brains in the aldermanic
| board? They had to nominate their
| best men in those days. and they got
| the benefits.
President Hall said the present min
GRITTY representation system is respon-
sible for ''throw-Gowns" of good men
and engenders bitter feeling in both
| parties. If it continues a few years
longer it will have both parties entirely
disrupted, as the number of men turned
! down in trades is increasing each year.
| He said the action of the board of al
| dermen does not amount to anything.
Il didn't want it acted on, as the city
! council of 1898 could do nothing.
simply wanted to give it start.
| WhetheS the incoming city council win
adopt it or some other system, I don't
know or don't care, but 1 am satisfied
| that a change will have to be made. "

CLERK GOES POSITION.

S. Hamilton Coe had to give his en-
tire attention yesterday to completing
the record of the common council for
the year He spent the day at his
desk in the common council chamber.
1t is possible that Mr.. Coe has writ
ten his last record for the common
council. He is a candidate for the
position of city treasurer with three
others), and may be elected. If he is
not, whether he will be again a can
didate for clerk of the common coun-
Gil is as yet undecided. He has
reached no conclusion on that point,
himself telling The Spy man, who
asked him yesterday, that he is in the
hands of his friends, and if they con-
clude to use his name in case of defeat
for city treasurer, he will abide their
decision.
With the signing of his name at the
foot of Tuesday evenings records, he
completed % years service as clerk of
the common council The duties of that
office have grown as fast as those of
any other. The records of the common
council for the year ending occupy $50
pages Of Mr.. Goes writing. The rec
ords of his first year in the position
required but 76 pages.
During his first year of service there
were only % meetings, while last year
there were Al, almost double the num-
Der. In those days" said Mr.. Coe, re-
ferring to the first years he occupied
the position, "the council invariably
adjourned early. We never reckoned
on staying later than 9 o'clock.
For % years that he held the posi-
ton he missed only two regular meet
ings of the council. Last year he
missed three regular meetings, being
sick when two were held and out of
town another meeting night.
The salary of the clerk when he was
first elected was $500 a year, Several
years ago it was increased to $500, and
two years ago another raise was given
him of 5000, making the present salary

SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS

The parks commission met in its
office, in the city hall, yesterday morn
ing, when Edward L. Raymond of
Brookline was present to answer ques-
tions of the commissioners. The OBJ
iect in inviting Mr.. Raymond to the
meeting was to Size him up as a can
didate for superintendent of parks. if
such a. position is created by the city
council. on recommendation of the COM

Members of the commission find fault
with holding the position to which
they have been appointed, claiming
that the work is too great They sug-
gest that the office of superintendent
Of parks be created, which will relieve
the secretary Of the parks commission
from his duties.
MIR. Raymond informed the commits
sion that he has had experience as a
landscape architect and also as di-
rector of bodies of workmen. He had
With him samples of work which he
has done and exhibited them to the
commissioners Nothing was said on
the question of salary. Mr.. Raymond
was told to come agatngsn
