SUICIDAL INTENT.
Mr.. Joseph Howe Attempts to End His
Earthly Career by the Use of

Laudanum.
ripple of excitement swept over the
down town portion Of the city yeSter-
day afternoon when the news spread
with almost the rapidity of thought.
that Mr.. Joseph Howe, a well-known
young man, had taken a large quantity
of laudanum with suicidal intent.
About 1 o'clock yesterday Mr.. Howe
walked into the barber shop of Mr.. J..
L. Lassiter under Pythian Castle. 1t
was noticed that his face was flushed
and that he acted somewhat strange;
but speaking pleasantly to friend. he
proceeded to chair and seated him
self. In moment his head fell for
ward on his chest, and he fell into a
deep slumber. He remained in that
condition for n few minutes when an
attempt was made to arouse him, but
without success, Notwithstanding the
fact that every effort possible was made
in that direction.
1t was then noticed that n peculiar
odor was upon his breath. and DIR. Geo.
ii. carr was summoned. who, upon eX-
animation. announced the startling fact
that Mr. Howe was suffering from lau-
danum poisoning. A telephone message
was sent to the police station which
was answered by Police Officers Win
ningder and Carlisle, who at once con-
veyed the young man to the station
house, where 1t was agreed that heroic
treatment was absolutely necessary To
save his ille. Ills ITlcnuS OIL the Kind,

who was then apparently lifeless. his
| whole body being in n state of utter
coiiapse. DR.. Culpepper saw the gravity
of his patient, drove RAPIDLY to his

with DR.. r. r. Robertson
These two gentlemen did all that
could possibly be done. after which the
walking process was again resumed and
Kept up until MIR. Howe gave unmts-
taxable signs of returning conscious
ness. when he was placed in a carriage
and driven to his home, on County
street. where heroic treatment was kept
up until the dangeispoint was passed
AT o'clock last night Mr.. Howe had
improved wonderfully and was report
ed as being on the road to rapid re-
covery.

Mexico, in 1s49, coded this region to
the United States, the Zuni became
a portion of the heterogeneous popu-
lation which makes up the sum total
of the members that form this great
republic.
Interested in the Zuni and Tai-yo-
al-a-ni Gas this mesa is called), I
have always been on the alert to hear
all could about its history and ro-
nance, and one day accidentally
heard some Zunis speaking about the
shrine of their warrior god, Unaikah,
which was on Tai-yo-al-a-ni. I had
seen one shrine there--that of the
twin gods, the children of the sun,
but had never seen nor heard of any
one who had been allowed to see
'Unaikah. So one day prevailed upon
Tsnehay, the former governor of Zuni,
and an old friend of mine. to take me
up long-abandoned trail to the sum-
NIT. He did not know the trail, but
his son, young man of 10 or SO, with
a companion, could be induced to go
along, and they knew where the trail
was.
And what a climb we had. Almost
all day getting up. Here and there we
had to creep on hands and knees over
sliding rocks, which sloped off towards
frightful yawning precipices, and now
and again we had to be hauled by sheer
main strength, and with ropes around
our bodies, up cliffs where it was in
credible that even the Indians could
climb. At length we stood by the side
of the ruined village, abandoned 200
years ago, when the Zunis and the

DANGER IN THE SIDE SADDLE
Responsible for More Deaths and In.
3uries Than Any other Implement
Connected with Outdoor Sport.

The side saddle is uncomfortable
for the horse and for the rider. Hard
ly one woman in ten can sit straight
on it, and the result is that the saddle
| drags off to one side, and is very like
ly to gall the horses withers.
Far more important than this, how
| ever, is the danger to which every
woman is exposed when she mounts
her horse. However skillful horse
woman she may be, her seat and her
safety depend absolutely on the in
tegrity of the saddle girths. If these
break a fall is inevitable, and,
aampered as she is by skirts. she can
do nothing to save herself.
If she is not q good horsewoman if
she depends on her reins or on her
stirrup to hold her in the saddle. her
case is just SO much the worse. Most
girls and women are not at home ON a
horses back, and boiling or shying
horse is likely to unseat them.
If unseated they have not the
chance afforded to every man who is
thrown from his horse, that of SIM
ply rolling out of the saddle and strik-
ing the ground. Instead of that
woman may be hung from the POM
mel by her skirt, and may be dragged
about and shockingly mutilated by
the horses hoofs, where simple fall
from the horse would have given her
no more than jar.
Cases of this sort occur with such
frequency that it appears singular
that no one. has as yet preached the
abolition of the side saddle as a re-
form whose Importance would justify
crusade. For in proportion to its
use we believe the side saddle to be
responsible for more deaths and acct
dents than any other implement
which is employed in connection with
outdoor life.
This is an age of progress in out
door matters, and women are elm
ina ting from their lives many of the
antique conventionalities, which have
nothing to. recommend them except
long-established custom. There are
to-day many young women who dur
ing their travels and their hunting
trips in the west never think of using
side saddles. and there is thus, in
some of the larger. eastern towns, a
nucleus of women who understand
that the mans saddle means freedom
from letters that they have always
borne. and from limitations which are
not only irksome but positively dan.
