Yesterday afternoon Edward Daugh-
erty. OF No. 1872 ALLEY 18th, made an at
tempt to commit suicide by cutting the
arteries in his wrists, but fortunately
he did not succeed in cutting de=p
enough, and the attempt was unsuccess-
full, but he lost a considerable quantity
OF blood before discovered. Immed-
lately upon finding him, medical aid was
called and the flow Of blood was stop
ped, and after he had revived some
what he was taken before Squire NJ. ].
Fitzpatrick and committed to jail on a
lunacy charge to await a hearing the
latter part of the month. For the past
several days Daugherty has been acting
strangely, and on last Tuesday evening
his actions were so peculiar on Market
street that they attracted the attention
of many pedestrians, and he was follow
ed up and down the street for an hour
by a Register reporter.
Daugherty was first noticed on Mar
ket street about 5 o'clock Tuesday eve
ming and he made his way to Goetze's
drug store. He had the appearance Of
a man being under the influence OF
drink and having recently been in a
fight. He asked Mr.. Goethe to sell him
some rough-on-rats and said that the
rats were bad near his house and be
wanted to kill them. Mr.. Goethe nc
ticed his condition and refused to sell
him any of the poison. He then asked
for strychnine. and he wa refused this
also. He then inquired If laudnum
would kill rats. Mr. Goethe told him
that he would sell him no poison, so he
left. Several persons o~verhearing The
conversation remarked that he looked
like he wanted to poison himself
than to kill rats.
From Goetze's he went down to
Schnepf's and hung about the door for
a considerable time, but could rot
muster up the courage to enter. After
a time he went up to Young's on Chap
line street, but could not muster up
courage to enter here, and so returned
to Market street. The reporter follow
ed him to another corner, where he
crossed over and after a time entered
the drug store. A few minutes later he
emerged, holding something carefully
in his vest pocket. The reporter then
entered the drug store and inquired Of
the clerk what he had purchased, and
was informed that it was %stryehn;ne.
The name he had registered was
Riley"
The reporter left the store and found
the man talking to a companion far
Their down the street. He was still
holding his vest tightly. When he
left the man on the curb, the reporter
approached him and a%scertained that
the mans name was not Riley, but
Daugherty, and that he resided in the
East End. He also stated that he had
been acting queerly for some time. 1t
lis evident that Daugherty's courage
again failed him when he came to take
the poison, and that he adopted the cut
ting of the blood veins as a better way
to commit suicide.

why uindoos Don't Go Mad.

Why are there so few Iuuatic asy-
Iums and so small Il proportion of in
sane persons in India? That is Il ques-
ton which many n traveller has Won
deringly asked.
The Hindoos regulate their lives en-
tirely in accordance with their religion
that is, their working. eating, sleeping.
as well as what we usually regard as
our life" in the religious sense of the
word. Everything is arranged for them,
and they follow the rules now just as
they did 1000 years ago. This constant
observance Of the same rules for TWEEN
ty centuries Las nodded the brains OF
the race into one shape, as il were. and
although their rites are queer enough.
yet there is but an occasional example
of that striking deviation from the
common which is called insanity in
countries inhabited by the white race.
They are fatalists too. With them it
is a case of what is to be will be"
carried to the extreme. This has in
time given them the power to take all
things calmly and so freed them from
the anxiety that drives so many white
men into the lunatic asylums.

If the city council has been wait

occurring late Saturday afternoon

both beyond peradventure of doubt

through the operation of an anti

alarm. destroying property of suf-
ficient value to have bought and in
stalled an approved alarm system
ample to furnish all but the out-Iy-

Another misdirected alarm today,
although not attended by so serious
consequences, served nevertheless, to
give emphasis to the object lessons
of the two preceding days.
The first fire broke out about 4:4O
Saturday afternoon at the residence
of Joseph l.. Haas, 1905 Eighth ave-
nue.. 1t was caused by the explosion
of a gasoline stove in the kitchen.
where preparations were being made
for the evening meal. Mr.. and

of the house telephoned in an alarm.
