TO END Her LIFE
Woman Takes 35 Grains of Bi
Chloride of Mercury.
HERE BUT A SHORT TIME
Would Give No Reason for
Her Act.

Miss Pauline King attempted to com
nit suicide yesterday morning. In all
probabilities she will be successful in
her attempt, as the doctors say it is al
most impossible for her to live. The
young woman took thirty grains Of BIZ
chloride Of mercury. This is the reason
that she is alive now. If she had taken
but three grains nothing on earth could
have saved her at the time she was
found She took so much of the poison
that it made her sick and a great por-
ito nof Il was thrown of, but enough
of il has been absorbed into the system
10 kill her. and even If the poison did
not get in its work, the irritation that
has set in is enough TO kill an ordinary
person.
Miss King would give no reason for her
act except that she intended TO XIII her
self, but made the mistake Of taking too
much Of the medicine.
The young woman came to this city
from Albuquerque, \. NJ, about three
weeks ago and engaged a room of Miss
Orma Gray, at 23S North Main street
She has been at the house ali of the
time but it seems that she has some
relatives on the West Side that she has
visited once or twice. The name she is
known by here is not her right name
but she would give no other. Nothing
Is known Of her parents or OF her past
life. She is about 25 years old.
The first that It was known that she
had attempted to end her life was when
st was learned she was very. sick, about
Tor DR.. SeigeI and he gave her an anti
dote, She had already thrown off a
great part of the poison, but was in a
very dangerous condition. Last night
Or. Jordan was called and found her
splitting blood from the effects Of the
irritation caused by the poison.
The ordinary dose Of bi-chloride Of Nor
curry. otherwise known as anu-septic
tablets. is about one hundredth of
grain. and very seldom do the doctors
give one-hfueth of a grain, and two
grains are sufficient TO kill a person.
Miss King took seven of the tablets,
Of five grains each, one Of which would
have been plenty to kill her.
At 1 o'clock the woman was still alive.
but the doctor said it was almost impos-
sibIe for her TO live.

MRS. NATION IN NEW YORK
What She Said and Done on the Edg
of the City,


Carrie Nation has at last reached to the
environs Of New York. The New York
World pictures her and gives this account
of her arrival:
For two hours yesterday there was only
the width Of the Hudson between Mrs.

York.
Fondly caressing a glistenlng new
Ratchet the Kansas joint-smasher, just
after daybreak, stood on the Jersey shore
"jist achin' to git into that wicked New
York" as she put 1t.
It was J. Z. Furlong Of Rochester who
kept her away.
Furlong approves of Mrs. Nation as a
/ lecturer. but not as a smaslfer, and IS
managing her lecture tour.
1t would have been much pleasanter
to take the ferry over from Hoboken
ana back again TO Jersey City. but Fur
long had held out firmly for the open
/ trolley cars. even though It vas raining.
"Oh, II 1 could only get over there for
( a few hours" sighed Mrs. Nation. as she
/ shook her hatchet in the direction Of
7 New York. But I'm just out OF fail and
must make some money before I begin

/ Mrs. Nation and her manager arrived on
the Ere train at o'clock yesterday
