TRIED TO END HIS LIFE.

Henry Hoffman, who is said to be
eccentric, attempted to commit suicide
last evening at his home, 231 Minna
street. Locking himself in a room, he
sIashed his left arm and leg with a
pocket-knife, expecting TO bleed to death.
One of the family missed him, and, sus-
pecting something wrong, he went 10 the
room and finding It locked forced open
the door Hoffman was found lying on
the floor, bleeding profusely from the
seIf-infiicted wounds. Policeman O'Shea
was quickly summoned and he had the
unfortunate man removed to the Receiy-
ing Hospital, where the wounds were
dressed by DR.. Tormey.
The relatives OF Hoffman are con-
WINGED that his mind is impaired A
short time ago he created a sensation by
sitting in front of his home with two
loaded revolvers tightly clutched in his
hands When arrested he declared that
he had brought the revolvers intending to
kill some enemy, who was determined TO
make him a subject for the Coroner.

DENIES CHARGES OF CRUELTY.
Harry Gray Angry at Mr.. Holbrook
of the Animals Society

Harry Gray Of Cray Bros. contractors
IS very much inceused at the statements
made by Secretary HoIbrook OF the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty TO An
imals. Mr.. HoIbrook arrested two of the
contractors men on Tuesday upon
charges of cruelty TO animals, and stated
that the officers of his society were
obliged 70 condemn and kill two horses
belonging 10 Gray Bros. that were being
worked on the grade on Bay street be
cause Of the animals being afflicted with
about all of the ills that horsefesh is
heir TO. He said that he called as ad-
yisers TWO veterinary surgeons who pro-
nounced the animals unfit for work, being
% years old, aside from their general in
TrInitfes According TO the same author
fty the officers went 10 Gray Bros sta
bles and condemned six more horses as
unfit for work.
Mr.. Gray takes exceptions 10 all these
statements, and says in no uncertain Ian
guage that there IS not a particle OF truth
in them He denies that the horses are %
years old, or that they were shot by the
officers or any one He asserts that Mr..
HoIbrook did not enter the stables or con-
denim any OF his horses. and adds that
the arrest OF the contractors stableman
and driver was without warrant OF JusL-
IN the first place" said Mr.. Gray, I'VE
have over a hundred horses at work and
ont of the lot there may be few sick at
times hut these we never use, as we have
snntIgh well ones to do the work. The
horses that Mr. HoIbreok says were shot
are alive and well. When they went TO work
Yesterday they we're as sound as the usual
rl17 Of work horses are. One was slightly
= aIicted with a cork but that is not
serious. The others foot was slightly
pricked By the horseshoer before it went
10 work AS to the two veterinary sur
geons that Mr.. Holbrook called in, the
9nlv thing that is the matter with them
is that we have refused 70 let them have
the care Of our stock, and this is the
vav thew think to get back AT US. I win
make In pretty hot for these fellows who
are making false statements about our
being cruel to Our horses

DIED FOR HIS COUNTRY.
III. I. Seemann Slain in Battle Before
He Had Reached His Majority.


Advtces by the Coptic from Manila
bring sorrow into one more household in
San Francisco. Although the relatives of
NJ L. Seemann had neen advised through
the kilograms from the seat Of war in
the Philippines Of his death, still they
hoped against hope that 1t was not true,
until the confirmation came from the cap
tain Of his company.
Young Seemann came here from Den
mark when he was 9 years old and was
brought up in the household OF G. \. Jen-
sen his brOther-in-laW. When the war
broke out and the California boys were
mustered into service ne was only 20 years
old. He tried hard 10 join the First Regi-
ment and when he failed he enlisted in the
Fourteenth Infantry. He was assigned
TO Company A and went TO Manila on the
trOOpship Scandal on her first voyage.
The letter containing the news Of his
death IS as follows:

WILL BE NO COMPROMISE.

Ida F Nolan, who fired two shots at
her brother-in-law, Alfred Rosenthal, at
the family residence, 1923 Bush street,
last week, appeared again in Judge Ora
hams court yesterday morning. She was
accompanied by a male friend, who in
formed the Judge that there was TO be
a compromise. as Rosenthal did not wish
TO prosecute her.
Prosecuting Attorney. Wentworth said
he would have something TO say about
that, and as far as he was concerned
there would be no compromise. Attorney
McNear said he had been engaged to spe-
cially prosecute the case for Rosenthal
and he knew of no compromise.
The defendant then asked for contin-
uance. as she had been unable to get an
attorney. and the Judge granted a contin-
uance until Friday.

SCRANTON. MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY AUGUST 25, 1s9a

fectually disabled by sensual indul-
geneies and chance riches. 1t is not
an infrequent thing to see the luck Of
a trader sink him into hopeless in
ebriety and sloth. The history OF the
world shows that the dangers of capi-
tai have been far more in emasculat-
ing and eliminating its rossessors
than in making tyrants and despOts
OF them. They have damaged the
people far more by luxury and plenty
than ruling them by hard labor. s~
When wealth is employed in rail-
roads and public works its best inter-
ests are in behalf Of peace and law
and order. And it is familiar busi-
ness policy that the best interest OF
institutions are promoted by raising
the standard Of their employees, by
cultivating character and esprit de
corps among them, by identifying the
prosperity OF the whole with its parts.
And the history of modern great cor
pOrations shows men from the lowest
ranks by character and manhood ris-
ing to supreme control, while the sons
OF potentates pass into insignitlcance.
So far as accumulated capital being
dangerous to the masses, our late ex-
perience shows it most dangerous to
its possess0rs, who turn it TO mere
selfish account.
Our institutions Of learning and
benevolence have grown great and
multiplied through accumulated capi
tai in the hands Of good people.
On the contrary the selfish use Of i
has burlcsqued the follies and vices o
high life by making them despicabl
before the whole world. Under it
baneful influence home has become
mere fancy, and domestic life myth
divorce a convenience that has mad
marriage a mere arrangement to pro
mote mere sensual indulgence, and al
honorable life fraud.
Among the many lessons tha
American history has taught tn
world have been the direful danger
of selfish accumulations to their pos
pessors; the worse the means, til,
greater the danger; and on the othel
hand, the inestimable and unfailin,
good of character, skill, self-denia
and industry to those who in the fea
of heaven, cultivate and exercise
them.

PRINTING OUTRAGE
Aberdeen Examiner.

Aberdeen Examiner.
ThebOard OF contracts has awarded
the printing OF laws, journals, re-
ports and pamphlets OF the Legislature
to the Vance Printing Company Of
Jacksonville, Fla; the miscellaneous
printing for departments and public
institutions to the Brandon Printing
Company OF Nashville, Tenn, and OF
assessment rolls to Walker, Evans &
Coggswel!, of Charleston, South Caro-
lima.
We want here and INV 70 enter our
protest against these awards or the
law that c0mpels them. TO be sure
the State has saved a few hundred
dollars on the venture, but it has clog
ged the wheels of machinery repre-
senting home economy and enterprise,
and taken employment out 0f the
hands of home skilled labor to throw
its beneacient influence to other
States.
No doubt Mississippi, fully aware OF
outside competition, bid as low as
Mississippi printing capital and facili-
ties would admit OF, and this award
not only strengthens foreign capital,
but cripples ambitious home enter
prise.
The members OF the Legislature
who provided for this outrage would
be lond in denunciation Of cOmmuni-
ties that sent abroad for their dry
goods, groceries and hardware.
There is no State in the Union as
cruel and oppressive to its printers as
Mississippi.

ALL OF THEM SMELL ALIKE

"Men have died and worms have
eaten them" sings the Bard OF Avon,
"but not for love-"
Equally true is it that men have
gone out hunting in the erstwhile for
ether game and encountered what
naturalists call Mephitis mephitica,
Spilogale putorious, according to
whether the animal is run against in
the East or the West. No man has
ever yet been anointed by skunk
who, If he had died, would have died
OF love, or who would have been eaten
In that fix by worms, even if he had
died.
That creature who rejoces 10 the
most boisterous and dsagreeable
smell on earth should be an object Of
propagation for gain is strange. For
some years, it is stated-and the state.
ment has meyer been authoritatively
denied-the skunk industry has been
carried On in a successful and odOrous
manner in Indiana where these ami
mails, so beautiful to the sense Of sight
and so agonizing to that Of smell,
have been raised for their pelts.
Successful, indeed, this source of
money-making must have proved, since
so telegram from Laporte declares,
a proposition to emerge it into trust
form is in process Of naturalization.
Skunks are proper and afii lated SUBJ
jects for trust manipulation. Trusts
can handle the little loud scented
creatures without making the hand
lers more malodorous than they al
ready are. Trusts have no consciences.
no souls, and no noses except for ill.,
gotten gain.
All trusts smell alike to the people
the skunk trust no louder than the
others All Of them, to conclude with
another Of Shakspeare's truisms, "are
rank and smell to heaven.

CHANCE FOR THE SOUTH.
Manufacturers Record.

Manufacturers Record.
The meeting OF the so-called anti.
trust conference in September may be
turned by the South to its own great
advantage. Apparently politics will
dominate the conference. Invitations
to it have been limited to Governors
and Attorney Generals Of the differ.
ent States, and the average Governor
and the average Attorney General
cannety .as- y xule,,e escape being a poll.
tician. 1t is true that party lines
have not been observed in the call for
the conference or the invitation to 1t.
That might be regarded as hopeful
sign were it not generally recognized
when politicians OF both parties can
afford to meet on a common plane the
masses Of the people had better be
alert to their own interests.
The question to be discussed at the
conference Is an economic one In the
main, and should be settled without
the interference OF office-hOlders and
0fflce-scekers. Experience has taught
that mixing politics with an economic
question results In confusion OF the
issue In which the politicians are cn-
abled to maintain their hold upon
Office at the expense OF the people,
who continue to suffer an aggravation
OF the evils arising frOm attempts tn
thwart natural processes by legisla.
tion intended to carry a campaign
rather than to benft the masses. A
bane Of the South has been the prone
ness of many Of its politicians to
sacrifice its material interests to
politics, politics in this case not
meaning skilliul maneuvers to induce
federal legislation Of benefit to the
South, but combination whereby they
continue to draw salaries.
| The time has come for the South to
make the politician minor influence
in its affairs, and therebyto remove
the great incubus from its industrial
life. The cultivation OF public opin-
ion disc0uraging any more political
scintillation as an outcome OF the st.
Louis conference will be an Important
step toward minimizing the influence
OK the politician and counteracting its
deleterious effects upon the South.
