INJURED WOMAN
STILL ALIVE
Death Comes Slowly to the
Would-be Suicide.
Husband is Grief Stricken and is
Doing Everything Possible for
Her Comfort---There is No
Hope of Recovery.

Mrs Minnie White wife of Frank
e. White, is still alive but there is
no hope of her recovery
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Mrs. White attempted to take her own
life by shooting herself with 3s-cali-
Der Colts revolver. DR.. Moore who
lives directly opposite. heard the shot,
and hurried across the street to invest
ieate. He found the front screen
hooked, and started around to the rear.
As he passed side window he saw
Mrs. White lying OIL the bed in n
pool of blood. He hastened to the
back door forced his way in, and
gained the unfortunate woman's side.
at once recognized .he nature of the
crime. When questioned the woman
said she was tired of life and wanted
to die. When the doctor told her she
would recover she made an effort to
again secure the gun, but the doctor
prevented her. She admitted that
she had taken four one-eighth grain
morphine tablets, and these undoubt-
edly deadened the pain of the bullet
wound
DR.. Moore found that the bullet
had entered the left breast Just below
the nipple, and came ont under the
shoulder blade. How it failed to
penetrate the heart is "a mystery. DR..
Moore carefully dressed the wound
and made the patient as comfortable
as possible.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whites married life
has been frequently disturbed by mis-
understandings and quarrels, and they
finally decided 10 live apart for
year, and at the end of that time they
would decide as to whether to make
the arrangement permanent. Mr..
White accordingly gave his wife
sufficient funds to furnish IA house
suitable for keeping boarders, and act
ling on this plan she had rented a
house.
Mr.. White is overcome with grief
and is doing everything in his power
for the comfort of the injured woman.
He declines to make public the con-
tents of the letter which his wife had
addressed to him previous to commit
ting her rash deed.
At late hour this afternoon Mrs.
White is still alive, but no hopes are
entertained for her recovery.

Agitating Annexation Question.

Havana, July 3O-Thopgh the Gu
ban republic is but few months old
the annexationists have already come
out in the open and that they mean to
pursue lively campaign froih now
on was evidenced by large and en-.
thusiastic meeting held here today.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the Circulo de Haciendos, Il society
of Cuban planters which has for its
avowed object the fostering of the an.
nexation movement. The sudden
activity of the annexationists is caus-
ing much feeling among those Cubans
who want the island to have fair
chance in trying to solve the problem
of self government.

HORSE SHOW FEATURES.
Unique Decorations mt Famous
Gotham HOstelry.

Gotham Hosiery.
The Waldorf Astoria hotel, in New
York, honors the horse show with the
most elaborate floral decorations Of Its
history. Proprietor George c. Boldt
deputed Florist j. H. Small, who Gre
ated the flowery fantasies of the Rock
efeller wedding, the Mackay and Brad
ley Martin balls and the Inauguration
at Warrington, to transmogrify the
big hotel Into bower where beauty
and the horst will divide the honors.
The equine symphony's first move
ment will begin in the pillars and trel-
lis work of the Thirty-fourth street
portico, which will be twined with a
medley of Florida smilaA and mean
descent lamps, says the New York
Journal At night the lamps will nes-
tie like fireflies in the ropes of green.
AS the visitor swings in his hanson
into the driveway he will be confront
ed with a statuelike hanson banked
in chrysanthemnms and palms and
yoked to a steed. blue ribboned, fash
toned out of 100000 leucothea leaves
from the forests Of South Carolina.
This horse was not made in day. 1t
took three months to build him out OF
nothing but leaves. He Is constructed
on the lines of one of last years win
ners.
From the pillar capitals in the main
lobby will depend facsimiles in flow
ers Of the heads of equine wonders OF
former shows, each with his appropri-
ate ribbon. Passing from the office to
the ladies' reception room, the eye will
be challenged by the counterfeit pre-
sentiment of horse life size done in
Pennsylvania moss. Palms and flow
ers will flank the bases Of the support
ing columns of the lobby, and fra
GRANGE will be heavy everywhere.
Profuse decorations will delight the
senses in the dining rooms. palm gar
dens, billiard room and cafes. The
chrysanthemum in yellow, white and
blue will furnish the dominant note,
relieved by coils and wreaths Of south
ern smilaX and asparagus vines There
will be 60.OOO chrysanthemums in evil
dence. including several hundred Tim
othy cations. which retail at dollar
apiece.
Fresh flowers will garnish the dining
rooms every morning. and the menus
will be decidedly horsy in getup.
