Roy Jones' Attempt Was Very
Nearly Successful.
A SWEETHEARTS' QUARREL
Which Came Very Near Resulting
Dlsastr0usly--Jones Will
Recover.

Roy Jones, an employee of Shermans
undertaking establishment. and who is
said to be a very estimable young man,
surprised and shocked his friends yes
terday afternoon by a sensational and
very nearly successful attempt at suicide
by shooting, n all because of a mis-
understanding between himself M a
young lady to whom he has been very at
tentive.
Zones and the young lady in question,
who is related to a very respectable fam
lily. quarreled a few days ago over one
Of the young lady's associates. 1t seems
that Jones requested the girl to have
nothing to do with another glrl, and
finally she reluctantly consented to do
so. Yesterday Jones sweetheart met the
Objectionable girl on the street, and was
dutifully telling her that in the future she
could lave nothing to do with her, when
who should happen along but Jones. he
saw the two girls talking. and thinking
his sweetheart was doing just what he
had asked her not TO do. allowed his
anger to manifest itself, and the girl. OBJ
serving his darkened brow. became
angry herself and would make no ex-
PLANTATION. He went to the undertaking
room, spread a clean sheet upon the cool
ing board, laid down upon 1t and took
three shots at himself with a 80 caliber
revolver.
Guy Smith. bookkeeper at Sherman's.
heard the shots and rushed back to ascer-
tain tho cause. Jones was lying on the
cooling board. as though dead. Blood
was issuing from a CHASTITY looking
wound in the side Of his head. Mr.. Smith
FASTENED to summon a physician, and
by the time the doctor had arrived Jones
had regained consciousness. 1t was
found that but one of the bullets had
taken effect, and the wound inflicted was
not a serious one. The bullet struck the
head a little above the ear and glanced
blowing a furrow over the top Of the
head, but through some singular circum-
stance did not penetrate the skull
Jones was getting along nicely today
and will probably be able to resume his
duties in a few days. He already re-
grets his rash attempt which might have
ended so disaStrously.
The young lady in the case was very
much wrought up over the attempt o.
] the young man and a reconciliation was
> speedily effected.

months at a salary of $C5 per month, and
Miss Clara Clark was appointed teacher
of the Black Tail school,. for the same
period n at the same salary.
The proposition to build a new school
house at Walkerville caused some dis
cussion. The building committee visited
that northern suburb yesterday. and after
an inspection of the three school build
ings there decided that a centrally
located building was needed. Tire com-
mittee was instructed to make further in
vestigation n report.

superior to anything ever given the pupils

reelected. The superintendent, IN {
brief speech, thanked the trustees for th'
honor, and said that he believed th'
schools of Butte would compare aVor
ably with those of any city of its size il

state of affairs, he said, belonged TO Ii"
able corps of assistants, who had glvel
him their loyal and united support II

PEACE MEETING" TO BE HELD IN
BUTTE THURSDAY NIGHT.

lust at the present time representa-
tives Of the great nations of the world are
gathering at the Hague to attend the
conference called by the car to discuss
the disarmament of the armies OF the
great powers. All over the United States
meetings are being held which are styled
peace meetings for the purpose Of dis
seminating knowledge on h various
phases of the question. Especially have
the club women of the eastern and middle
states been active in arranging such
meetings. The Woman's club of Butte
has arranged a meeting along similar
lines to be held in the auditorium of the
public library on Thursday, May II. at
$3.50 p. m. A number of we'll known men
have cordially responded to the invita-
ton extended to them by the Woman's
club to address the audience on the sub
iect which is now of such vital interest
to the public in general. Members of the
music department will furnish vocal and
instrumental music for The oco asion.
That the programme will be an interest
ing and instructive one goes without
saying, since the following men are to
appear as the orators of the evening":
Rev. Groeneveld will open the meeting
with an address on THE Cars Mani
festo,' and the Rev. Blackiston will fol-
low with a talk on some phase of the
question. Prof. Hendricks will speak
from the educatlOnal STANDPOINT. Falnef
Doherty, one of The Paulist Fathers at
present in the city and recently from
Manila, where he served as chaplain in
the United States army, will have for his
most interesting topic 1.-THE Philippine
Islands and our Soldiers Rev. Albrit-
ton will discuss disarmament of the ma
ton from the religious side. J. H, Dur
stan of Anaconda will speak upon the
important subject of "Arbitration and
Permanent Tribunal" At the close of
the programme each speaker will be
given the privilege of replying to any,
thing to which he may tax exceptions.
The object of the meeting is purely edu-
cational, and while the discussion will
embrace all points of view it will be
strictly non-partisan. A large and en-
thusiastic audience is anticipated. The
public, both young and old, are cordially
invited to be present. Admission free.

"Educated,by Jovcw

At leading New England college som,
years ago when the commencement cXcr.

class, who had been more distinguished by
conyiviality than studiOUsncss, and who
had barely escaped losing his degree, ap.
peared upon the campus and, waving tht
much priced parchment over his head,
shouted glcufully: Educated, by Jovcl
Educatcd!'
The idea expressed by the rollicking
student, moro in jest than in earnest, il.
Illustrates a notion of ellucation which dies
hard. The popular prejudice that culture
is something extracted from books, picked
up in lecture hall or laboratory or
seized during the feeting years of ones
school or college life is so prevalent tina.
it becomes the obvious duty of the school
to press home to the consciousness of ev.

of education lasting throughout his life.

The Glastonbury Thorn.

At Glastonbury abbey, in Somerset
shire, England, once stood thorn tree
which, it is said, bloomed every Christ
mas morning, The first authentic ac-
count of it ever written was in 1772 by
a visitor who tells of it in the account
of his visit to the abbey.
The keeper assured him that St. Jo-
seph of Arinathea landed not far from
the town, at a place where there was
formerly an oak that had been planted
to his memory; that he and his com.
panions marched to hill and rested
themselves, and that Joseph stuck his
staff in the ground. Now, this staff was
a common dry hawthorn stick, but it
grew and first came into full flower on
Christmas day Afterward the tree,
which has thus grown and budded like
Aaron's rod, always bloomed ON the
day of our Lord nativity and upon no
other day, the flower, like those of the
night blooming cereus, lasting but a
few hours
Many queer stories have been told Of
the miraculous thorn of Glastonbury.
1t was said that if the chips from it
were planted they would sprout and
grow like potatoes; that the leaves
cured all infammations, swellings etc,
and that rods cut from it would new
er leave marks on the children corrected
by their use.

During the last four years, according
to the London Spectator, the duke OF
Bedford has carried out scheme OF
alamal standardization In the park at
Woburn abbey never before attempted

rupcds are the subjects Of this expe-
rimcnt But the greater number of
the animals are various kinds Of deer,
Of which no fewer than thirty-one spe-
cies are in the open park or paddocks,
bisons, Zebras, antelopes, wild sheep
and goats and yaks. The novelty and
freshness OF this experiment consist
not only in the accumulation Of such
u number of Species interesting as this
Is to the naturalist, but In their way Of
life, free and unmolested in an English
park. That Is the lot OF the greater
number Of the animals at Woburn,
some being entirely FREQ and roaming
at large, like the native red deer and
fal!ow deer, while the others, though
for the present in separate Enclosures,
are kept IN reserves so spacious and
so lightly, though effectively separated.
that they have the appearance Of en-
joyIng the same degree OF liberty"
The general effect on the view OF this
gathering Of animals from all quarters
Of the earth on the green pastures and
under the elms and oaks round the
homo Of great English family is de-
acribed as being magnificent. During
the journey back by train through
Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire the
valleys and meadows stocked with our
ordinary domestic animals seem soli-
tary and deserted after the eye has
rested for hours on the varied and I'M
pressive forms that crowd the slopes.
groves and glades of this glorious park.
This effect Is due In part to the large
ness of the scale on which the stock
ing of Woburn with wild animals has
been carried out.
