.PITTSBURG's REGIMENT
WELCOMED With MISSILES

(By Associated Press.)


PITTSBURG. PA. October "a
scene denounced by 5.,-standers as con
tenptibe and outrageous marked the
return Of the soldiers of the Fourteenth
Regiment from the anthracite region to-
day. While passing down Fifth Avenue
they were assailed with chunks of con-
crete, blocks of wood as large as bricks
and even tools thrown from the twenty
first floor OF the new Farmers Deposit
Bank building, a distance of 20 feet.
by workmen.
The act was evidently premeditated.
for the workmen had collected enough
missiles to be able TO keep up the as
sault the whole time the regiment was
passing. That no one was seriously
hurt is remarkable. When the soldiers
realized that the missiles We're aimed at
them. a line. was quickly formed on the
opposite pavement. An officer gave the
command toload; but the commanding
officer countermanded the order, and no
shots were fired.

B. j. EdeIen Came Near Dying
FOUND in A DEATH STUP0R.
Wife Denies That the Dose Was Taken

Mr.. B. J. Edelen. the proprietor of the
well-known drug store on Second and
Canal Streets, came near ending his
days yesterday afternoon with an over
dose of morphine. The impression in the
neighborhood and among the attending
physicians was that the drug was taken
with suicidal intent. while Mrs. Edeien,
when seen last night, denied most en-
phatically that such was the case.
The constant attendance OF four ply
sicians from O'clock when the dose
was taken. until night. prevented fatal
results and finally landed the patient
out of danger.
At the time the grain and a hais of
the drug was swallowed by Mr.. Edeien
he was with his wife at his home. No.
161 East Canal Street, and announced to
her that he had taken the dose. which
would be his death. Once before. some
thing over three years ago, Mr.. Edelen
came near dying from morphine poison
ing. but was brought around by physi-
clans. Without losing a moments time
Mrs. Edelen sent in a call for the city
ambulance surgeon.
PROMPT RESPONSE.
DR. Flegenheimer responded promptly,
and upon reaching the house found the
drugged man in death-Iike stupor. IFe
Immediately took charge of the patient
and soon had the assistance of DR.
Nuckols, DR.. William Dunn and Dr.
Labenberg.
The continued efforts OF these physi-
clans prevented death. Mr.. F.Ielen gives
no cause for his act. and his friends are
at a loss to understand his reason for
taking the dose.
He has been married about four years
and has one child Els drug business
at Second and Canal Streets has been
successful, and among his customers in
his section of the city he has many
friends.
It is said by some that for some time
he had been mote or less desaondent.
and for several days had been drinking
heavily.

Writing exhaustively of dragon flies
Lafcadio Hearn says in his book, a
Japanese Miscellany" OF 1.-The dragon
fly Of the dead"
Unlike the equally weird name
'yurei-tOmbo, or ghost dragon fly the
term shroai-tombo does not refer to
the appearance of the insect, but to
the strange belief that certain dragon
flies are ridden by the dead, used as
winged steeds.
From the morning of the thirteenth
to the midnight Of the fifteenth day of
the old seventh month-the time of the
festival OF the Bon-thc dragon flies
are said to carry the hotokc-sama, the
august spirits of the ancestors, who
then rf&isit their former homes. There
fore during the Buddhist All Souls
children are forbidden to molest any
dragon flies. especially dragon flies
that may happen to enter the family
dwelling.
This supposed relation of dragon
flies to the supernatural world helps to
czplaiM an old folk saying, still current
in some provinces, to the effect that the
child who catches dragon flies will
never obtain Knowledge

No other member of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially If its calf is
harpooned. The harpooner ncverthrows
his harpoon into the little one with the
the intention of killing 1t, for If this Is
done the mother will instantly forsakc
1t. If alive and struggling however,
the dam can be easily enticed toward
the boat to meet its fate. Knowing
this, the whale fishermen always strike
calf If possible and thus often make
captures that could not be effected I'M
der other circumstances.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware
of the snaring of her young she rushes
toward it, encourages it to swim away
and even assists it by taking it under
her fin. She seems to lose all regard
for her own safety and boldly attacks
the boat containing the whalemen or
circles about it totally regardless of
the harpoons that are hurled ut her and
enter her flesh.
