TWICE TRIED TO SUICIDE.

Too Much Whisky Made Anton Tom
tic, of Minneapolis, Desperate.
Not content with an attempt to kill
himself by stepping on the tracks in
front of a moving train at the Mime
sofa. Transfer, Anton Tontic, a Minne-
apolis man, made second attempt to end
his life early yesterday morning in his
cell at the Prior avenue substation. He
was discovered before he had time to
make the affair successful and was able
to appear yesterday in police court to
answer a charge of drunkenness
Tontic was found on the tracks at the
transfer by Officer Towey waving his
arms at an approaching train. He was
at once taken into custody, and his ap-
pearance proved that not only was he
under the influence of liquor, but un-
sound In mind as well. He was given a
cell at the station and left to his own de-
vices. Fairly yesterday morning the jail
CT passed the cell and noticed that the
man was grooming. He reported to the
lieutenant in charge and an investigation
was made. Tontic was found with a
strap. which he had been using as a belt,
tied around his neck and fastened to the
bars of his CELL Unable, because of the
lack of room, to hang himself, he had
lain down in an effort to get sufficient
weight on the strap to choke himself.
His moose was defective, however, and
beyond a severe choking he was not in
jured.
The strap was taken from him and the
bedding removed from the cell to pre-
vent him from tearing UP a blanket In
rider to make a rope for third attempt.
Yesterday morning he was taken to court.
His case was continued, and he was sent
to the county Jail for safekeeping.

their brethren, If quiet little caucuses,
diplomatic visiting and all the various
phases Of wire pulling, concerning which
the men imagine the women know abso-
lutely nothing, are any sign.
= It does not need tho Haunting streamers
Of purple and white, the colors of the
Royal Neighbors, which futter gayly In
front of the woman's entrance to the
Ryan hotel, to notify the crowd of pass
ers-by that notable convention has
made that hotel it's headquarters. For
groups of women busily conversing, wom-
en- with badges, apparently excited. gestU-
lating freely as they talk, tell of an i'm
portant gathering.
And 1t is an important gathering. From
all over the country delegates are arrlv-
ing to attend the convention of Roya,
Neighbors, auxiliary to the Modern
Woodmen of America, which convenes
next Tuesday morning in the house Of
representatives, in the state capitol OF
course, the event of chief Importance,
about which centerS a vast amount of
speculation. perhaps much jealousy and
heart-burning, at any rate, a feverish
curiosity, is the election of supreme
oracle, the highest Office in the gift of
the society. ST. Paul offers two candi-
dates, Mrs. L. E. Penny and Mrs. c. Ban-
ford Though Mrs PennY's name has
never been prominently connected with
the Royal Neghbors, she has managed
to exert much influence in quiet way
and has unquestionably strong follow
ing outside the local camps, though 1t is
limited that her own home camp will go
against her in the contest. However,, she
seems q
little woman and speaks confidently of
her chances.
Mrs. G. Bamford has aswider reputa-
ton than her opponent for she is well
known throughout the state as an Or
ganizer. Starlight camp, her own camp
here in ST. Paul. was organized by her
and she claims that it was mainly
through her efforts that the convention
of Royal Neighbors was obtained for st.
Paul, she being the only delegate from
this city to the Rock Island convention
held two years ago. Mrs. Bamford, of
course, also expressed her deep conVic-
ton Of her own success.
But" she admitted naively, yesterday,
IF I don't win I hope Mrs. Watt will.
Mrs. Watt is a friend of mine
And this outspoken opinion has led
some unkind people to express the belief
that it is Mrs. Bamford and Mrs. Watt
against Mrs. Penny. Mrs p. D. Watt IS
the present supreme oracle, whose record
has been so good throughout her period
Of office that many think it is a good
reason for her reelection. Mrs. Watt
herself does not seem an aggressive can
didate, but she admitted that she
wouldn't object to having the office
again. BY far the most aggressive can-
didate is Mrs. Penny. Already her fol-
lowers walk proudly about with the 'Pen-
ny button fastened to their dresses.
The two opposing candidates affect to
sniff at this innovation as worthy only
the demagogue, but their political enc
mics say its a case of sour grapes. The
bright idea did not come to them first and
they are 10th to follow a fashion set ny
their enterprising opponent.
Though the convention does not open

about death, not as something to be
dreaded, but as something welcome. The
very morning of her death she remarked
that were 1t not for her remaining rela-
tives she would be glad to go and meet
her husband, whose loss she never ceased
to grieve over, and with whom she was
ideally happy. While the last ten years
of her life have been lonely, and while
she has been much harassed and worried
about her financial affairs, yet she was
ever patient and kind and generous She
had that kind of charity which "thinketh
no evil She had the habit and temper
of her Master. She bore the fruits Of the
spirit Of God as naturally as an apple
tree bears apples in its native climate
1t was easier to be good when she was
near. She carried a little bit of the sun
shine of heaven with her wherever she
went.

Court Decides That He Has No Valid

the Estate of the Late Charles
Dietz-Judge Bazille Comments
on the Plan of the Club for
Clothing the Lucky Ones.
Clubs formed by tailors for the purpose
of disposing of clothing by weekly draw
ings, according to a decision of Judge
Pazille, of the probate court, yesterday
come under the law of prohibiting lot
teries. The clubs have f1ourished locally
for several years, and the effects Of the
decision will be felt by many tailors as
well as their customers.
According to the club plan the tailor
secures any desired number of subscrib-
ers, generally between twenty-five and
forty, who agree to pay 81 per week for
a specified number of weeks, which will
aggregate the cost Of the suit of clothes
in payments. Then every week there is
a drawing, and the lucky member of the
club whose name is drawn gets suit of
clothes for the amount which he has paid
In at the time of the drawing. If his
name is the first drawn he has a suit of
clothes for 81, or if on the second draw
ing, for 81, and thus on to the conclu-
sion.

The sample season is at its height,
and every week the New York dry
goods stores are sending millions of
little pieces of spring and summer
fabrics all over the country. In one
establishment alone $50 yards of silk
are turned into samples every day. As
for cotton goods, the great nav Of the
cutting machine greedily devours the
sheer fabrics as if it we're monster
trying to gorge itself with syllnbub.
The samples sent are chosen out of the
multitude of colors and designs by
women who are called solicitors. To he
a good selector one must have knowl
edge of human nature as well as of the
fashions. Each girl who occupies this
important position has charge of a
certain territory, and she soon oarns
what is the general trend of taste
in that locality. For individual
preferences, OF course, she must dc
pend on tia letters which come in
shoals. But some of these would give
to an inexperienced person absolutely
no clue either to the writer's wish on
that especial occasion or even to her
personality. This is the time when
the selector falls back on experience
and intuition. She reads between the
lines, and promptly comes to some
definite conclusion. -Harper's Bazaar.
