If. after six hours. no opening in the ice can be discovered, the boat will return to the last opening, but if the pack is thin, attempts will be made to blast and open it. Kampe does not think that the ice pack continues unbroken in any direction for more than five miles

TRICK OF VOICE,
How One Lawyer Keeps the Judge From


 There is said to be a lawyer in Phil adelphia who possesses a trick of the voice to which a certain measure of his success in United States Supreme court practice is due. The trick consists in waking 9 judge. Whether it is a com mon practice for the high dignitaries of the federal supreme bench to in dulse in a nap in the course of long and tedious argument, such happen ings are not unknown, and it is we'll for an able logieian of the bar to be prepared for it. The trick of waking sleepy judge would seem to be some thing in the nature of slamming a law book under his nose or connecting his personality With the current of an electric battery. But the trick is ex- plained as purely a matter of sound involved in the skillful control of the voice l. is said that q barfister prae- ticed in the art aHd rhetoric of address i ing the heaeA ean ga1her all the waves of sound from his throat into a focus and deposit it in the orifice of the jadge,s ear with tine general effect of a IA. complished.is is said to have been worked repeatedly with sUcoess on tho late Judge McKennan whose habit of going to sleep on the bench was once a no- torious subject of comment in the liti- gation over the Berliner telephone pat ents.

THRICE TRIES SUICIDE.
Prosperous Farmer Makes Deter
mined Effort to End His Life.

Vineland N. j., June 12.-So de-
Alliance, that he has attempted sui
eide three different times in as many
days. Rothman is a prosperous
farmer, and has wife and several
children. In fit of dependency he
tried to kill himself three days ago by
gashing his neck with pair of scis-
sors. DR.. Sawyer, of Vineland, ar
rived in the nick of time to save the
man from bleeding to death.
Yesterday Rothman seized knife
lying on table near his bed, and
after ripping the bandages from his
neck stuck the blade into his throat,
but before he could sever the jugular
vein he was overpowered by members
of his family. This afternoon Roth
man jumped from his bed, during the
absence of his wife from the room,
crawled out of the window and leaped
to the ground. He ran to the barn,
where after tearing away the BAN
dages, he cut the stitches in his
wound and so badly mutilated his
neck by broken glass that he tainted
and fell to the floor, where he was
found bleeding almost to death.
DR.. W. F. Sawyer says he has made
out papers for the commitment of
the would-be suicide to the Trenton
Insane Asylum. Rothman is about SO
years of age. He has wealthy daugh-
ters married, one being the wife of a
m merchant in Philadelphia.

President Reeves arose and told of
ten dollars, two five dollar gold
pieces, having been given by the
Alumni Association of the High

Miss Dorothy Streets and Leroy

prizes should be awarded.
Especial mention should be made of
the excellent standing of Jessie Bax-
ter and John G. Peck, who were but
a small fraction behind the winning
students.
City superintendent William Ed
ward Cox then awarded the diplomas
and another class of students had
been graduated from the Bridgeton
public schools. After the exercises
congratulations were extended.

FAMILY QUARREL
AND SUICIDE
William Gall Kills Himself i'm
Philadelphia Hotel.

Philadelphia, June 13.-William
Gall, aged ffty-seven years, of No.
2421 North Broad street, committed
suicide about 3 o'clock this morning,
at the Hotel Vendig, Twelfth and
Market streets, by putting three
bullets into his head
The widow learned of the fate of
her husband this morning, after she
had waited up all night for his re-
turn. Jealous rage following a slight
family quarrel, is the only reason the
widow can assign for her husbands S
rash act
The police history of the case is
that Gall appeared at the Hotel Ven
dig between and s O'Clock last
night, and registered as coming from
Bridgeton, N. J. He was assigned to
Room No. 3, one of the best in the
house, on the first sleeping floor.
About a. m. Watchman Matthew
Thorpe, while making his rounds,
was startled by hearing three pistol
shots in rapid succession. He made
an investigation at once, and traced
the sounds to Room No. 3. AS .he
could not gain entrance, he broke
open the door, and there found the
guest stretched at full length upon
the floor in front of the bureau.
1t was found that one bullet had
grazed the right cheek bone, and two
others had entered the right ear.
Policeman Coyne was summoned i'm
mediately, and hasty glance proved
the man was dead. The body was
thereupon searched, and gold watch
and chain was found, together with a
Masonic mark bearing his name and
number of his business cards show
ing that he kept saloon and summer
garden at North Broad street. Only
$l.s8 in money was found. The body
was then sent to the Morgue.
At the Broad street address the
saloon was still running this morn
ing, and the widow said business
was too good to close up She stated
that she had been married to Gall
only since last January. At that
time she was widow, Christian
Krug, her former husband, having
died few years ago, leaving her
three children and the saloon property
which Krug had established some
years ago.
"Gall was always disagreeable
about the house." she said, land ap-
peared to be jealous of me. Yesterday
l asked the bartender to write postal
to my brother for me. My husband
got angry and said did not have to
have bartenders write letters for me
while he was around. One word led
to another, and said would not be
subordinate to him. I told him the
saloon belonged to me, and that was
boss.
Soon after that he went out, say
ing he had some business to attend to
down town. That was the last I saw
OF him, although I waited up all
night for him to come home. can t
help it if he did commit suicide. He
took considerable money away with
him, but | don't know what he did
with it. Business is too good to close
the saloon, but will send the bar
tender to the Morgue to identify the
body"
William Gall was a brother in law
OF the late Ludwig Gall, of North
Laurel street. He had not been in
this city for many years and it seems
strange that>he should register him
self from here when he went to the
hotel.

Carefully Planned Suicide.

Glassboro, June lathe finding of
the body of Carl Wagner in Reeves
Pond last night and the note he left
behind, stating that his body could be
found there, shows that the unfortu-
nate man carefully planned to take
his life.
When the body was brought to the
surface several heavy stones were
found securely held to the body by
his coat being buttoned over them.
Wagner is the third man who has
committed suicide at what is known
as the Dutchman's Bridge in
Reeves pond, the water being quite
deep at that point. The deceased was
a native of Hamburg, Germany, and
was 40 years old. Coroner Ledden
took charge of the body, and removed
it to this place.
Perhaps they call them commence
ment exercises because they are the
beginning of the end of the easiest
and most enjoyable period of young
mans life.
The girl who boasts that her face is
her fortune, cannot expect the men to
take her at her face value.
