Anonymous Circular That !. is Being
Sent to Certain Citizens.
The following is the copy Of letter
received this morning by q man In pub
lie office. Presumably 1t is one of
many, for there Is no apparent reason
W. the recipient should receive it
more than anyone. else. Moreover, he
is not particularly interested In the
The suburban districts OF this CITY,
the letter begins, shave recently furc
nished two examples OF the noble art
of enlightened self interest, about
which we hear so much In these latter
days One Of these Ii the naming or
the Waterville school house in Water
Vile. The board Of education put 1t
up to the Waterville people to find d
name for the fine building they have
just completed, ana what ala they do?
Did they confer the honor upon some
man or family who had been noted for
public spirit or instrumental in raising
the standard OF the public schools? Not
much. They simply picked out the
man in their village with the biggest
pile. That will be their answer to the
inquiring stranger OF the future who
seeks to learn why his contemporaries
have made OF this temple OF learning
monument to Mr. Sprague. There
can be no answer except 1t be that he
has been a consistent opponent OF pub
lie Improvement in his village, wheth-
er in school or other public affairs.
saThe other example comes from the
region known as Bucks Hill. For a
good many years the school conditions
there have been execrable, and every
effort has been made by those inter
ested to better them. But these eff
forts have so far come to naught
through the stubborn opposition of one
man. It looks now as though the
board of education would have TO step
In and erect that new school building
which Is so badly needed up there.
old Bill Tyler has demonstrated pref
ty thoroughly that he Is hard man to
eat. And yet the tourist OF the future,
when he passes the handsome new
structure on Bucks Hill erected for ed
vocational purposes, need not be sur
prised to see the name of Tyler above

TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Man Locked Up for Drunkenness Made
Two Attempts Last Night.

Two Attempts Last Night.
John MCGOWAN, one OF the oldest of
the old FOUNDERS In this city, came very
near shutting off the mortal coll in the
police station. Twice he tried to COM
nit the deed and but for the vigilance
of the police would have succeeded.
MCGOWAN was arrested for intoxica-
ton by Officer J. Sullivan. He was
very drunk and made a good deal Of
trouble for the officer. When taken to
the police station and before he was
locked UP in cell he was searched, as
every prisoner Is, so that nothing of q
dangerous nature with which he could
harm himself Is allowed on the person
Nothing of this nature was found on
MCGOWAN and he was locked up In a
cell. He was quite noisy for a long
time, but no attention is paid to such
prisoners unless they become unbear-
able, and then they are removed to the
cellar. where they can howl and shout
all they care to and not q soul will
hear them. Sometimes a prisoner ID
permitted to shout himself asleep as
the best means Of silencing him. and
in such cases the prisoner Is always
looked at when his noise has ceased.
The characteristics OF all the old round
ers are well known to the police. Those
are known who will shout and make
an uproar until they are removed to
solitary confinement and those who will
roar themselves to sleep. MCGOWAN Is
recognized as one of the latter.
Yesterday afternoon his noise ceased
almost suddenly. This was cause for
Investigation and when Chief Egan
looked in the mans cell he found him
hanging to the top OF his cell, his belt
around his neck. The man was almost
dead. but experience has taught the
chief how to take care Of such cases
and in short time MCGOWAN was him
self again. His belt was then taken
away and he underwent another search
for anything by which he could posi-
bly, strangle or hurt himself though it
wss not supposed for moment that
he would attempt his life again. A
watch was kept on him. however, and
this morning early MCGOWAN was again
found hanging from the top Of his cell
with string around his throat. He
was in far worse condition this time
than on the first occasion, but he was
revived. The instrument he used this
time was string made evidently from
strip of his shirt. MCGOWAN passed
the rest Of the morning under close
watch. 1t being considered unsafe to
leave him unobserved for moment.
He was sent to Jail this morning.
