DIES A SUICIDE
Registers in New York

Takes Every Possible Pre-
caution to Conceal His
Identity.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept 9.-"Failing health
suicide-Nemo," scribbled on piece OF
paper, a glass that had contained car
bolic acid and a new, fully loaded revol-
yer were found in the room Of man who
committed suicide to-day in the Broadway
Central Hotel. The man had registered
as james E. Sharp, San Francisco" 1t
is believed he had intended to shoot him
self, but decided on poison as an easier
means Of death. He had taken every
possible precaution to prevent his iden-
tity becoming known. The police Of the
Mercer-street station obtained a San
Francisco directory and found therein the
name, ~. Everett Sharp, clerk of Jus
tees Court. No. 1928 Golden Gate ave-
nue."
Little could be learned Of the man at
the hotel. where he registered last Mon
day and was assigned to room on the
seventh floor. He made no friends, so
far as was known, and told no one his
business. He seemed to have plenty of
money and to be here on q pleasure trip.
The mans last message was written on
leaf Of a pamphlet advertising patent
ice cream freezer. The words looked as
If they had been penned after drinking
the fatal draught.
Sharp had cut his name from the band
inside his derby hat and from the we'll
worn wallet which was found in his
pocket, containing $500 in $50 bills. His
travelling bag contained personal effects
of good material. His clothing was of the
best and Of fashionable cut. He was of
good appearance, about 30 years old and
weighed 180 pounds.
A torn envelope was found which, when
pieced together, seemed to be addressed
to either c. E. or E. E. Chaplin, 1886 Cen
trail avenue, San Francisco.
When a maid tried to enter his room
she found the door locked and called the
head porter, James Guthrie, who forced
an entrance. The body was removed to
the Mercer street police station and the
Coroner is making an investigation.

White Holland Turkeys.

From the Farmers Review: As n
breeder of thoroughbred poultry for
some years, I would briefly state that
tho White Holland turkey has proved
to be the most rcmuncrativc OF any
breed OF fowl have kept Some claim
one tom is sufficient for ten to twenty
hens during the breeding season. but
| am successful when only seven TO
nine hens are mated to one tom. and
prefer seven. In the selection OF
breeding stock I prefer n tom with
pure white plumagc throughout. with
nice pink legs. standing up erect on
short, heavy leg bones, with heavy.
compact body and plump breast, and
not weighing less than 80 pounds.
The hens should be of like stamp and
build. and not weigh less than IS
pounds. When practical. mate old
hens with young tom and visa versa.
To insure fertility, turkeys must have
n wide range. and never use a sick!y
or weakly turkey in your breeding
flock under any circumstances. as It
IA sure road TO financial loss. Our
turkeys have the whole of the farm
to roam over, with eight acres OF blue
grass. For nests we turn down open.
ended sugar and cracker barrels. piac-

board stakcd down in front to pre-

and wants to sit, break her up and
in about two weeks she will com.

laid under n chicken hen and let her
sit. hatch and raise them. The next
laying let the turkey hen sit, hatch
and raise. When young poults hatch
don't feed them for "a hours, and then
give them pure. clean well water and
feed light bread crumbs squeezed out

The University OF Missouri is Ger.

its efforts to disseminate agricultural

schools OF that state. Every year
a teachers summer school is held at

subjects because of the instruction
given to teachers at Columbia during

USED CAT AS A PLUMBER.
How Puss Was Led to Detect Leak
in Water Pipe.

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that a woman
of Manayunk, Pa, accomplished the
ether day. This woman had noticed
that one of the pipes connected with
the washstand in her bathroom leak
ed. and she wished to locate the leak
precisely without tearing out any
more of the wall than was needful.
Accordingly she shut her cat up
in the parlor-the parlor is directly
below the bathroom-and into the ba-
sin os the defective washstand she
poured vial of the oil valerian.
Cats are excessively fond of the odor
of valerian; a cat would rather inhale
this odor than eat fish. The Mana
yunk woman's cat, after II had been in
the parlor few minutes, began to
purr. Purring. 1t crossed the room:
1t settled itself on the floor with its
face to one spot on the wall. and
here its mistress found II when she
came down stairs, its nose glued to
the spot. smiling and purring ecstatic-
ally.
The wall was opened at this point.
and mere, sure enough. the leak was
found. Here the valerian had trickled
through, imparting its intoxicating
odor to the cat.
