HE SEARCHED IN VAIN
New York Man Tried to End
 His Life.

Had Been Hunting for His Parents
 for the Past Six Years-Failing to
 Find Them He Made Up His Mind
 to Die-He Swallowed Morphine
 But Will Probably Recover.
 New York, May S-Disheartened by his failure after six years of endeaVof to learn who his parents were, Henry King, thirty years of age, attempted 70 commit suicide in the yestibule of the New York Founding asylum The doctors say he will probably recover.
 King was mere child when taken to the founding asylum, where he was kept until 1878, when, at the age of six, he was sent to d Maryland farm. He remained there until lie he was of age As he grew to manhood he felt that his parentage should not be yelled in uncertainty. Two days ago he brought an action to compel the asylum authorities to disclose the identity of his parents. The action brought forth the response that it would be impossi- ble to tell For days and weeks after this defeat King, then twenty eight, frequented the asylum.
 A growing belief that he was heir to fortune stimulated his desire, and one occasion made him so persistent that he was arrested.
 Every day he called and repeated his questions until finally discouraged at his lack of success, he swallowed morphine in the hallway of the home.

Three Days March Under Hot Sun
 Will Not Be Ordered.
 The militia will ride to camp this summer just the same as ever, notwitll- standing published reports to the con- trary. Colonel Burpee is authority for this statement. The story that the mill itia would march to camp was first published in New Haven Then the Hartford papers picked 1t up and eventually all the militiamen Ill the state began to get their walking ap- paratus i'll gear. It would be well nigh impossible for the New Haven and Waterbury contingents. as we'll as all those that would have to pass through the Elm city to reach Mantle by raad. The river near Saybrook is too deep to ford, not deep enough to swim and not broad enough to bridge. The idea of marching to camp was . good one, though. and unquestionably sold for more than the regular rates. Once or twice the New York state militia shanked it to camp, but that was enough for them. AdiutantGeneral Cole, it is said. appreciates the militia too much to force march of two CT three days under q broi1ing sun upon men fresh from stores, offices and fac tories.

Fake Story Published in the
 American About Joseph Hill.

Officer Allen Did Not Enter .he Church
 Joseph Hill Did Not Interrupt the
 Service, Nor Did He Have to Be
 Carried Out-Story Must Have En-
 anated from an Imaginative Brains
 There is absolutely no truth in the published statement that man ere ated q row at the service at the lm- maculate Conception church Tuesday night and that the disturber was inal- ly removed and taken to the police sta ton by Officer Allen, after he had given the officer a few slaps in tue face and drawn a knife right in the house of worship. The facts are substantially as follows: At the close of the ser vice on that evening, just as people started to leave man arose from ! seat near the altar and danced aoout the aisle in manner that led those near him to conclude that there was something the matter with him. He was promptly reminded that he was ill church and then he turned and con- menced to apologize to the officiating clergyman, who was standing inside the railing. He was told to pass on out with the crowd He did so. Half an hour or so later he collided with Officer Allen somewhere ill the vicinity of Brown and East Main streets. It was there, on the public street. not in the church aor within several hundred feet of it, that the run in occurred between Officer Allen and the man in question.
