Litigant Cuts His Throat.

Standing in the presence of his
mother, who had chided him for drink
ing, James Jennings, Jr., of Minooka,
sashed his throat on Tuesday with
razor and is expected to die. He has a
wide reputation among lawyers from his
connection with the famous Jennings
litigation against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, which has been on in the
Lackawanna and supreme courts since
1883, when Jennings was injured in the
Mud Run disaster. Impeachment pro-
ceedtngs against judges, trespass suits
against all manner of officials, from the
attorney general down, and dsbarment
proceedings against Jennings counsel,
Cornelius Smith, were some of the SEN
sational features of the litigation. Jen-
nings is now 30 years of age.

Jeffries- -Sharkey Contest.

The coming of the Jeffries-Sharkey
pictures to the Grand Saturday even
ing will no doubt tend to revive the
discussion as to the merits of the deci-
sion in the great tistc encounter be-
tween Jeffries and Sharkey. There is
one thing certain-these are the only
real pictures and they give the entire
twenty-five rounds. After they have
been seen, people will be able to decide
for themselves whether Referee Siler's
decision was a robbery or not. The
pictures are pronounced the best re-
productions ever made. They are ex-
ceedingly clear; there is none of that
sudden jumping from one position to
the other, and the figures and details
are depicted with fidelity. The pictures
tell the story in graphic and thrilling
manner They begin with the time the
men enter the ring and continue to the
last round.

in operate organizations touring this
country. VIM. Herman West, the bari

stage presence. He is generally con
ceded the peer of American baritones.

Don't imagine you can make soft

Don't think you can offend a mstica

Don't wait until the good things Of
life get by before looking after them
Don't think the man who is alwavs
on the run wins the most of life's
races.
Don't attempt to determine the gen.
der of your chickens before thew are

Don't envy the man with a wonder
full memory: he remembers much that
he'd rather forget.

cover that She is beautiful If she waits
