there Is not that enthusiasm that in former
years characterized the celebrations of the
English subjects when natal anniversary
OF the late Queen Victoria rolled around.
Brltishers undoubtedly have great admlra-
tlon for and greatly respect King Edward,
hut he does not appear to be held by them
with the love and vencratlon the late queen
inspired In her subjects. The celebration
Of the kings birthday In Galveston this
year has the color Of formallty about It,
while enthusiastic sincerity always pre-
vailed among the Brltshers when long life
was wished the late sovereign upon the
anniversaries OF her birth.

W, Breen. BrickIayer, Attempte d
TO Commit Suicide Last
Night.

Walter Breen, bricklayer by trade
attempted to take his life last night in
room 10 of Aloha House on Fort street.
He did his work in a bungling manner,
however, and at a last hour last night,
it was thought that he would recover.
Breen was employed at the Kahuku
Plantation until Thanksgiving day, when
he returned to Honolulu and took rooms
at the Aloha House. Since then he has
been drinking heavily
Some of his companions have been
keeping their eyes on him for the past
two or three days, and last night T. J.
Riley and c. A Oreup went up to his
room to see how he was getting along.
They were Mortified to see Breen lying
on the floor with his throat cut. Be
side him was a blood stained e-bladed
pocket knife. His head was resting on
an old coat, which was saturated with
blood.
One of the men hurried to the Orpheum
and notified officer Jackson, who tele-
phoned to the police station. The patrol
wagon arrived at the Aloha House short
ly afterwards
Breen was taken to the Queens hos
pital, where his injury was attended to.
He had evidently plunged the knife into
his neck, commenced to cut, and then
his nerve failed him. 1t is estimated that
he had lain on the floor about an hour
and a half before being found at 7:15
p. m.
The doctors think that he will recover
unless blood poisoning sets in. There is
fear of this, for the knife was very rusty.

JOSEPH \. GRAFTON.

Joseph H. Grafton is dead-the sad
news came by wire Thursday evening,
and the city of Marietta has sustained
a great loss. Mr.. Grafton was one of
the most substantial pillars in the
business affairs of the community,
and was universally recognized as a
good leader and a strong advocate for
everything that meant progress and
advancement. He was one of the pio-
neers in the movement that built our
new court house, and but a short time
ago started the ball rolling for better
roads in Washington county. He was
an optimist in the true sense of the
term, and his best efforts were always
given in the right direction.
AS citizen Mr.. Grafton ranked at
the top, as a friend he never faltered,
as a gentleman he was of the first
class. 1t is with sincere regret that
the Leader records his death. In
deeed, we consider it a personal loss,
and with his thousands of other
friends grieve beyond any expression
of words.
A good man is gone-peace to the
ashes of our friends and neighbor,
Joseph H. Grafton.
