One Organized In New Jersey which
Has Liberal and singular Condi-
lions Governing Its Members.

A suicide club is the latest organi-
cation in New Brunswick, y. j.. which
probably is the home of more wise
and foolish clubs than any other city
of equal population in the world The
organizers of the suicide club say it is
joke, but the police of the town
cannot see it that way. Special
sleuths are detailed to follow the
members in order that they NAV be
forcibly restrained from diverting
themselves from life.
According to the constitution and
bylaws, one of the members must
die every year, but he is allowed to
choose his own year and his own
way of dying. being allowed a choice
of anything from wedding cake to
old age. If he does not feel like TAX
ing flyer into the great beyond him
self, he may deputize one of his fell
lows to take his place. There are
special bylaws forbidding suicide in
hotels or private houses. barns or va
cant lots, lakes, seas or rivers. Any
member choosing a jump out of q
balloon must furnish his own balloon

TURNS HIS HAIR GRAY.
Thrilling Experience of a Painter In
Midair. 125 Feet from
the Ground.

Joseph Henry Spesr, boss painter,
was engaged by the town of Bloomfield,
n. j., to climb the flagstaff in the park
to replace a rope broken during a re-
cent storm. To prevent being watched
by gaping crowd, Speer selected four
O'Clock in the morning TO do the work.
He took off his coat and vest, and, adj
justing his spurs, began the ascent
Speer reached the top, 1875 feet from
the ground. at daylight, and, to avoid
accident. tied one end of the rope
around his left arm. He was iust in
the act of putting the new rope
through the pulley below the eagle
when he felt tug at the rope. He
slipped and hung head downward, ex-
pecting every second te be dashed to
death. -
The rope held firm, however, and
then Speer managed to release himself
and slide down to the cross bar. half
way down, where he remained for half
an hour before picking up courage to
continue the descent. When he finally
reached the ground, Speer found that
Policeman Lawrence H. Shorter had
picked up his coat and vest, and who
was the one who tugged at the rope.
Speer's thrilling experience has COM
pletely unnerved him and turned his
hair gray.

y. j.. is wondering why misfortune is
persistently pursuing him and his
family, says the New York World
Recently his son Edward fell from
scaffolding at Long Branch and was
SO badly hurt that for a long time
his life was despaired of.
Then Mrs. Fielder slipped from the
Etoop Of her home, breaking her collar
bone and several ribs.
The next day Mr.. Fielder slipped on
some loose hay and fell out of the NOW.
He was shaken up SO badly that he had
to keep in his bed for several days.
Next favorite horse died of CHAMBERS
and all his live stock had to be quaran-
tined and the ou,buidings disinftcted.
While this was being done message
was received from son, at Asbury
Park, announcing that he had lost
horse by theft.
The younger son, Garfield, was the
next victim of the family Nemesis.
He was riding his wheel to work when
he ran into chicken and was thrown
against a post, having collar bone
broken and a shoulder dislocated.
Now that all the members of the
family and most of the live stock have
been victims of misfortunes in one way
or another Mr.. Fielder hopes the fates
have been satisfied and that brighter
days are about to dawn.

He became delirious. He thought he

day. His mother had taken him into

orayed that he might live clean, hon.

he might do noble work In the world.
And then she kissed him and tried to

neighbors were out on the village street

Then he went down into the life he

Many hours passed before Gregory

was gone. He could breathe, and his

been shot in the street.
Caldwell was then the end of the
end dof the great cattle trail from Texas,
and the cowboys took the towns at
will, shooting the gamblers and the
marshals and running things their own
way.
Mike Mayer, the last marshal, had
stepped out on the street to tender
his kind Offices TO a friend that was
shooting the coping bricks off the top
of one of the bank buildings and incl
dentally taking shot at the windows
of the building. When Mike called to
him to stop, he turned and shot Mike
dead.
Then the city appointed Henry

While ] knew him for four years l
never saw Brown smile, writes Phil

said that he didn't have enough blood
in him to smile.
The MAYOR and others soon became
afraid to call on Brown TO serve papers
or to make arrests, because they knew
that he would bring back corpse.
But he drove all the shooters out OF
town and shooting got so scarce for
him and his deputy that in the spring
of 1854 they concluded 10 get up
little matinee of their own. SO they
took their horses by a circuitous route,
leaving word that they were trailing
some horse thieves. With them went
a man named Smith.
The next day at nine o'clock they
showed up at the bank in Medicine
Lodge, a neighboring county seat, and,
presenting six-shooters at the presi-
dent and cashier, ordered them TO hold
up and "shell out"
The cashier, knowing Brown well,
