LITERATURE FOR SOLDIERS.
Arrangements to supply Library to
Each Transport.

The international committee of Young
Mems Christian Associations. having head
quarters in New York city, has had under
its charge ever since the beginning of the
war with Spain. large part OF the relig-
ious work for the soldiers and sailors 1t
is understood the movement has grown to
large proportions, and great many trained
Christian workers are now being sent by
the committee with the various transports
as they go to Manila, Cuba and Porto
Rico.
The trip to Manila occupies about fifty
days. and one of the great needs of the
men on the transports is suitable reading
matter. While provision has been made to
supply the various camps up to the present
time, but little has been done to make pro-
vision for the period spent by the men on
the transports During this time they have
practically nothing to do, and ii is consd-
cred most necessary that good reading mat
ter should be furnished for the interval.
The local Young Mems Christian Assoc
citation, with the assistance of a ladies'
committee, has arranged to furnish all the
United States transports going to Manila
with permanent libraries. Persons desiring
to contribute books to these libraries can
send them to the Young Mems Christian
Association. 1872 G. street northwest at
any time. Only choice books, in first-class
condition are desired. illustrated books
are especially desired, and bound volumes
of magazines will also be acceptable. The
committee will also find it possible to make
use of magazines and other periodicals in
addition to the bound books. Games such
as chess. checkers, dominoes, crokinoIe
caroms, etc, may also be sent.
The permanent care and management Of
these libraries will be placed in the hands
committee of Young Mems Christian Asso-
Citations.

sHJFELDT BANKRUPTCY CASE.
order of Court Respecting Wife's
Aiim0ny and Husbands Salary.

Justice He gner this afternoon overruled
the objections filed to the discharge of Dr.
Robert Wilson ShufeIdt as d bankrupt The
justice referred the case to the referee
with direction TO restate the claim of money
due for aIimony, which had been stated at
too large an amount in DR.. Shufeldt's
schedule and also in the claim filed by his
former wife
In overruling the objections Justice Hag-
ner stated that where a petitioner filed an
application for discharge in bankruptcy
and placed in his list Of debts the sum
representing the arrears of alimony due his
former wife up to that time by him, under
an order from a Maryland court, that in
debtedness constituted a provable claim
under the bankruptcy law, but that his
discharge would not excuse him from the
payment of subsequent inStallment Of ali
moHY arising under same order Of the
Maryland court.
As to such claims on the account of ali
mony arising subsequt Mt to adjudication as
u bankrupt, the remedy of the wife re-
mained unaffected by the discharge. As Il
retired surgeon in the army, DR.. ShufeldL
is entitled TO Il monthly stipend of Sl15. No
the principal Indebtedness returned by him
was that due to his former wife. Justice
Hagner held that the wife has the same
methods of recovering future aiimony
against the petitioner that she had for the
aIirnony antecedent to the adjudication of
his bankruptcy.
Justice Hagner also held that Dr. Shu-
feldts salary as retired army officer can
not be attached for debt.

On his deathbed he confessed that being

CUTS HIS OWN THROAT.
Andrew Boston Makes an Attempt at
Suicide.

Andrew Boston, colored, forty years old.
made an effort to take his life this morning
by cutting his throat with razor. The
deed was committed at No. II K street
southwest. Boston is unmarried, and has
room in the house mentioned. He Is q
hardworking man, but recently he lost his
situation. and he has since been despond-
ent. 1t Is stated that he intimated to
friends that he was tired of life, although
none of them really expected that he would
do what he did this morning.
Boston got up this morning as usual, and
went out after breakfast. About 10 o'clock
he returned to the house, and half an hour
later a noise was heard in his room. One
of the occupants of the house went to in
vestigate and found him lying across his
bed with blood running from an ugly
wound that extended almost entirely across
his throat. Policeman McKenney was
called, and he summoned the Emergency
Hospital ambulance. DR.. Smith responded
with the ambulance and treated the
wounded man until the hospital was
reached, when the resident physician and
others dressed the wound. The patient
was then sent to ward. His injuries are
serious, but the doctors think he will re-
cover.
