JOkerS' Vows Led Mrs. Suydam to
Make Two Attempts to End Her
Life--Will Try Again.

San Francisco, Oct. 4-Her two at

foiled. Mrs. Eva Frances Suydam de-
clares she will yet commit suicide, and
the police are watching the woman TO
prevent her making good her threat
II was because a man had told her that
he and two others had decided IN Kill
themselves that Mrs. Suydam resolved.
TO die. She thought the men meant
what they said.
Seated around table at a Pine street
cafe some months ago were Harry Dixon
and two OF his friends, Malcolm Fraser
and Clarence Wendell, both of whom ere
employees OF well-known business firms
The conversation drifted to the subject
of suicides. and one laughingly said:
''Well stand up and shoot at each
other until there is no one left but
one remains he must take his own life
That will wind up the careers of all
three OF u.s."
Not long before this Dixon had met
Mrs. Suydam and seemed interested N
her because she talked of spiritualsn
and occult power Just to amuse her he
told her of the incident at the dinner.
Evidently he didn't mention that II
was all joke, for she earnestly believed

So Says Rev. Henry BaSSett Con.
corning immortality in This City.
Will Aid Reform Movement.

From tSe Rev Henry Bassett. rector
has received the following straight
forward and convincing statement as
TO TIE necessity of a strong and united
effort to combat the social evil in this
city:
N"Every earnest attempt TO check the
ravaga. of sin in our midst is something
to be thankful for and is a distinct gain
to the community. II is good to know
that we have at least one newspaper
COURAGEOUS enough TO speak its mind
freely With reference to the fearful prev
alence OF this evil in our midst.
"There are good people who doubt the
wisdom of outspoken words In dealing
with this subject.
1T calls attention to IL, they say. Better
not to stir up such a disagreeable mat
ter"
But are such people aware that no
great reform has ever yet been accom-
plsshed without calling attention to the
evil to be combated?
EFT is time that somebody's attention
should be called to this subject 1t is
time that the promoters of this vice
should be stirred up together with the
forces which are to result In their sup
preston. We have tried the policy of
silence, but 1T has not been effective. The
evil keeps on growing. Let us try some-
thing else.
THE Chief of Police has been criticised
for his apathy. | have not the pleasure
OF his acquaintance; but i am told by
those I'm whose opinion | have confidence,
that he is an upright and conscientious
public Official. Let us hope so. His posi-
tion is a difficult one.
LET us believe, until II he proved to
the contrary, that ne Is willing to aid a
well organized movement for the sup
preston OF this evil. Let us believe that
when he is assured OF Strong backing
by the good citizens Of this community
his apparent apathy will be overcome.

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-07-03

About fifty men, who were working
for Contractor Gibbons on the North
Main avenue sewer, struck yesterday
at noon. 1t seems that the men thought
they were to be paid every two weeks,
and as the first two weeks elapsed yes
terday, when Contractor Gibbons ar
rived on the scene in the morning a
committee of the workmen waited on
him.
They requested that they be paid
every two weeks. AS Mr.. Gibbons had
never intended to pay but once a
month, and was not therefore in a
position to pay, he refused the demand.
The most of the foreign element there
upon stopped work and went home,
saying they would not work unless
they could get their money every two
weeks.
About the same time the English
speaking part of the men appointed
another committee to wait on him and
ask that they be paid $3.50 instead Of
$1.25 per day. Mr.. Gibbons said that
as other contractors on similar Jobs
were only paying ninety cents to $1.10,
he thought he was doing very we'll by
his men to pay them $1.25 per day, and
that if he must pay $1.5O per day for
labor he could not compete with others
who were paying mucn smaller wages.
But the men held that they must
have $3.50 or they would not work. and
as Contractor Gibbons could not pay
that figure they quit work, and during
the afternoon only about ten men were
working on the job.
