The charges alleged to have been referred

editor of the Monitor soon after the land

Gen. Funston had taken two magnificent
chalices from a certain Catholic church

Archbishop Ireland in his Chicago inter-

Funston to deny the truth of the article
and sue the editor of the Monitor for libel,

acts of which he had been accused.
Gen. Funston is highly indignant at the
accusation and says he will vigorously

CUT his OWN THROAT.
A Dcspondent Prisoner at the County Jail
Attempts Suicide.

About $50 o'clock. yesterday after
noon, one of the prisoners at the coun-
~ Jail who was passing along the cor
ridor of the upper tier of cells, thought
he heard low groan from one of them
The cell from which the sound came
was occupied by David b. Herd of
Winslow, who is serving a seven
months sentence for rum selling.
The room was dark and as the man
who had been attracted by the sound
one of its occupantS-paSsed inside he
stepped into something sticky upon the
floor His first thought was that Herd
had been taken sick and vomited.
Striking a match, he was Mortified at
the CHASTITY sight of his room ma tie
laying upon his bed with several terri
BILE gashes in his throat from which the
blood was streaming down upon the
bedding. 1t was evident that Herd, in
fit of dependency had attempted to
end his life with his razor. 1t looked
as if he had succeeded.
Sheriff McFadden was immeditely
notified of the occurrence and
at once called DIR. c. s. Christie.
who lives across the street, and who.
after administering stimulants. set to
work to repair the damage In this he
was assisted by DR.. w. H. Harris, who
arrived on the scene few moments
later.
1t was evident that Herd had intend
ed to do a thorough job, but although
he had cut deeply, severing the wind
pipe. he had fortunately escaped the
veins and arteries. He was uncon-
scious and only the faint flutter of a
pulse could be detected. 1t required 81
stitches to close his wounds
The prisoners We're greatly excited by
the event and an interested crowd of
them watched the surgeons in their
work, all anxious to assist in every way
in their power.
My. but didn't he have courage"
remarked one of them.
He's the last one here I'd thought
it Of" said another. why, he's been
the quietest man here, and besides he
had no reason for doing it. He only
had seven months to serye-an' 81 days
in"
Late at night word came from the
Jail that Herd had recovered conscious
ness and unless complications set in
it is thought he will recover.

Steadily Grows Weaker.

Paterson, N. j., Nov. 1.-Vice Presi-
dent Hobart's wonderful vitality stood
him in good stead. today, and notwith-
standing he took little nourishment, he
was unusually bright, this evening, and
asked Mrs. Hobart to read him the
newspapers. Today, he showed signs
of weakening. An occasional spoonful
of brandy and milk and little grape
juice was given him in the morning.
All day long great crowds gathered
in front of the newspaper offices where
the bulletins were posted. There was
another gathering of friends about Mr..
Hobart's residence, but none except
relatives were allowed to see the pa
tient. DR.. w. x. Newton spends most
of his time in the Hobart house and
he is now the only physician in at
tendance. Eminent specialists are di-
recting the treatment through DIR.
Newton. The kilograms and messages
of sympathy have been received as well
as flowers from all parts of the coun-
try. Among those who sent kilograms
of inquiry was Hon. j. II. Manley of
Augusta, Me.
All through the trying ordeal Mrs.
Hobart bears up surprisingly well and
remains with the nurses most of the
time in the sick room with her hus-
band Few if any of the callers can
see her and nearly all are met at the
door by Hobart futile, brother-in-law

direct to President Mckinley.
At 4 o'clock. this afternoon, Mr.. Ho-
bart was beginning to dOze just as Mrs

pers to him. The patient was then
resting quietly and the only thing
feared by the physicians was one of the
had attacks after which followed such
q change for the worse, Tuesday. 1t
is feared that he may go off in one of
them because he is growing weaker as
