MADISON'S SIXTH SUICIDE.
Fred Lawyer Went Out to Cut Wood and
Was Found Dead Later

Fred Lawyer Went Out to Cut Wood and
was Found Dead Later.
The sixth suicide within year oc-
Cured at Madison on Wednesday.
Fred Lawyer, aged 93 years, is the
latest person to take his life.
Lawyer left in the morning to cut
some wood in lot near his house.
When he did not return at noon, a
search was made for him and the
body was found shortly after three
O'Clock in the afternoon. There was
a bullet hole just above the bridge of
the nose. AS the body was rigid
death probably occurred early in the
morning.
Lawyer, who was German, had
worked for Louis A. Noe, the florist
for seven years and had saved about
$500, which last spring he invested IN
a plant of his own. Recently he had
shown signs of dependency. His
business was not a success and it is
thought this led to his suicide. He
was quiet and unobtrusive, energetic
and of good habits.
Coroner Wilkinson, of Morristown,
was notified, and an inquest was held,
a verdict being rendered that Lawyer
came to his death by his own hand.
The six suicides of Madison during
the past year are Isabelle Price, a
spinster, on September, 30, 1898, with
a gun; Marshall W. Mettler, the har-
ness maker, at Louisville, KY, on
February /, 1899, with a revolver
Frank Clark, son of Nathaniel Clark,
on April 26, by opium; John H. Van
Houten, July 10, in Branch Brook
Park, at Newark, cutting his throat
with razor, and John Nolan, at Ho-
boken on September 3, by stepping in
front of train.

cises. This will be matter of in

MORRIsTOWN.
HILLSIDE.

At the Morris County Golf Club
Saturday, a departure was made from
the handicapping system for tourna-
ment against bogey. The event was
an eighteen hole handicap against the
bogey score of Sc strokes, for cup
given by Frederic B. Richardson.
The novelty of the competition lay
in the system adopted by the Greens
Committee of allowing extra strokes,
that is, from two or three strokes to
the poorer players, for the more diff
cult holes The idea is to give the
poorer player an opportunity to play
play the long holes in bogey figures,
and thus, provided he plays up to his
best game, giving him chance to tie
the bogey score in handicap allowance
at the finish.
Fifty -four competitors were entered
on Saturday and thirty seven playlers
turned in cards. J. A. Blair, Jr.,
won the cup with W. R. Thurston a
close second.
Blair's card was:
Gross. H'd'p, Bogey.
Out, 445745656-46
In, 456754495-50
Total, 96 10 2 up.
There was evidence of keen inter
est in the September handicap played
on the golf links at Chatham, Satur-
day. Besides the contestants many
others not entered were on hand to
witness the play. The handicap was
won by William S. Hunt E. L. Phil
lips, second, and O. M. Lum, third.

ART EXHIBITION CLOSING

Only the rest of this week, with
but one evening, remains for
viewing the Spring exhibition OF
the Kllohana Art League in Mo-
del block, Fort street. 1t is open
from nine to one o'clock daytime,
and Wednesday and Saturday
evenings.
"Konahuanui," d. Howard
Hitchcock's masterpiece catalogu-
ed at the price of $500, was sold
soon after the opening. The
same artist has more than score
of other works, in which he has
achieved high average standard.
His landscapes and sea views of
both Hawaii and Oahu islands
are of the highest value as art de-
scriptions of Hawaiian scenery.
They are works of art as we'll
which would do credit to any art
gallery in the world.
Ii. Mott-Smith, in "The Brook"
gives sunset portrayal of a pic
turesque section of Nuuanu
stream. 1t is picture that grows
on one, conveying a sense Of the
sweetest repose of late afternoon
10 Honolulu. This artist con.
tents himself on this occasion with
two lifelike portraits-one speak
ing likeness of Mr.. Davey-be-
sides the work just mentioned.
He is certainly an element of
strength in The league.
Persevering contributors who
have appeared in many former ex-
hibitions are Mrs. II. Kelley,
Philip Il. Dodge, Miss A. Parke
and Mrs. Alfred Willis, all of
whom contribute works of great
merit. Mrs. Kelley's Hawaiian
female types attract a great deal
of admiring attention.
Space will not permit review
of the hangings. Residents and
visitors are, however, confidently
recommended, without fear OF
their being disappointed, to spend
an hour as often as possible at the
exhibition. There is nothing in
Honolulu that attests more highly
the progress Of the community in
refinement.
