AYOUNG SUICIDES PLAGUE NFRANC|SCO
DRINKS DEADLY POISON EARLY
THIS MORNING.
Tragic Ending to Night of Driving
and Champagne-Mrs. Almy, Resident
of Young Street

A coroners jury is this afternoon is
investigating the cause of death of a
woman named in the summons Mrs
Edith Almy. She died about 2 o'clock
this morning in house on Young street
drinking part of a bottle of lysol. a
poison akin in its effects to carbolc
acid or creosote.
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth has
the case in hand, as coroner, and with
him is a jury composed of the follow
ing: w. B. Mott, A. S. Prescott, l.. F.
Prescott, William Love, A. Peyser and
Frank May. The investigation is be-
hind closed doors, though the testimony
will be made public when verdict Is
reached.
Almy, who claims to be the husband
of the woman is manager of the Wash
ington Light Company, with offices in
the Masonic Temple. He stated this
morning that he was married to de-
ceased about year ago in San Fran
cisco, and that he has since kept her
supplied with money, sending 1t to an
address on Ellis street. Also, that the
woman came to the Islands few
weeks ago on a sailing vessel.
Almy was deeply under the influence
of liquor most of the early morning
When the coroner's jury visited the
premises at 8 o'clock, he was lying on
| the cot beside the corpse fast asleep
! He bore every evidence of having spent
! a rather tumultuous night.
| His story told to Deputy Marshal
Chillingworth, would indicate that he
and the woman had been drinking con.
siderable. They met at Davey's win
! dow early and took a hack home. Later
they called the same vehicle and went
out for a drive. This ride was kept W
until quite late, finally bringing the
couple to a resort in Punchbowl street
not far from the hospital, where cham
! pagne was opened.
The couple arrived at the home or
Young street shortly after 1 o'clock. Al
ter visiting several of the rooms, Mrs
Almy came out of the dining hall an(
complained of being i'll. Her symptoms
grew rapidly worse and Almy finally
rang up DIR. Miner. The physician ar
rived at o'clock to find the woman
dead.
In looking around the house DR.
Miner came across the deadly drug ant
the glass from which it had been taken
These things were later turned over t,
the coroner.
The suicide has been town talk al
day. Seldom has so much interest beef
manifested in case of the kind. Th
woman was quite young. Her age |
given as twenty-five and she does no
appear to be over that.

Argentine Cruiser Puts up for Broken
Plate Glass.


A sailor of the Argentine training ship
now in port threw brick into the WIN
dow of Henry Warehouses; office yes
terday afternoon and smashed the fine
plate glass. Another missile had just
been hurled at a Chinaman. When pur-
sued the sailor drew knife. He was
later Overpowered by Sam Mahuka and
officer McCrady and arrested.
1t will take 800 to replace the glass.
This morning the captain of the vessel
sent word over that the ship would pay
the damage if the man were sent
aboard. Senator Waterhouse consented
to this. The program was carried out
and the charge of malicious injury
against the sailor was dismissed in the
court
The sailor was quite drunk at the
time and thought Warehouses; office
was a Chilean fort.

throwing a brick through Senator
Warehouses; window yesterday. They

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew

than of any other one make. This Is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points Of merit are strength, durabil-

ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small

THE SILENT MARCH.

Al OF with the CLASH Of the sabers, not with
the roll of the drums
Or the cheers that greet the hero when home
from the battle he comes,
Not to the sound of the bugle, mellow and
clear and sweet,
Do they pass on the homeward march with
never returning feet
But Into the dim, deep stiffness, where new
ermore strife may come,
With never football sounding the soldiers
are marching home.
Side by side, the line unbroken, as twas in
the years ago,
When they went with flying banners to meet
the ranks of the foe
These were the youthful heroes who fought
for the nation then,
These who march to silent music, SCARED
and gray, like ghosts Of men.
For them no bayonets flashing in the tide Of
the MONDAY sun,
For them the echoless silence, long since
were their battles won.
Now are the batteries silent that breathed
their murderous breath,
That laid like grain of the harvest the long,
dark swath of DEATH
Gone Is the smoke of the battle that hung
DER the far-drawn line
Till the sky was hid at monday and the sun
forgot to shine,
And where the tide of carnage surged over
the trodden plain
No whisper comes to grass or flower Of all
Its crimson stain.
There were tears and hours of longing for
those who come no more
For the voices hushed to silence and the
footstep on the floor.
In those far days Of battle, those days of
bltterest strife,
When a man for his country's glory set no
price upon his life,
But guarded that nations honor down to his
latest breath,
The soldier brave who knew no fear, who
pareyed not with death.
And ever since the wartime, when love and
home were sweet,
Have the soldiers Joined the silent march,
with never returning feet,
Out from the door of the cottage, from pal
ace of wealth, they came,
And the path led on In silence, the way was
ever the same,
And still the silent army is marching away
away,
And the last recruit will join the ranks and
be mustered in some day.

They called it Decoration day in little
village some twenty years ago. 1t was
one of the great days of the year. The
village itself was all green and white.
The houses were white. with green blinds,
and white fences incloscd the ample yards.
The green branches of majestic trees met
over the long, white roadways. The
stores, with their green, batten shutters,
the hagpole in "the square," the town
hall, with the hitching posts about 1t,
were all white. And ON the hill stood the
white church.
In this hill church, the services of Dec
Grafton day were always held. The people
who looked down on the village from "the
ridge" could see the white steeple with its
four little spires rising out of the dense
green. 1t was landmark. The church
bell was sweet, clear and far-reaching. In
the rear OF the church were the long, low
sheds for the horses and carriages. From
each side little cemetery stretched
away; the "old cemetery" on the left
with timeworn epitaphs on gray head
stones, where the white-haired men and
women walked; the new cemetery" on
the right, with white monuments and

A Man or a Minister.

A distinguished Massachusetts cler.
gyman tells good story at his own
expense. He was on tramp through
the White mountains with another
clergyman for companion. One day
they mounted the drivers seat Of

stage driver was an interesting char.
acter whose conversation abounded in
good stories. The three speedily be-
came friendly and it was with reluct.
ance that they parted at the end of the
journey. "pm glad ter hev met YET
