Cabin John Bridge.

Irish week" continues as the attraction
at Cabin John Bridge. The program of
music, consisting of all the old Irish favor
ties, as well as more modern songs Of Gaelic
authorship, is very popular and the way In
which the numbers are rendered reflects the
greatest possible amount Of credit on Prof
Haley and his admirable band Prof. Haley

season, and has increased the already
strong following his band has as q local
musical institution. The motion pictures
In the palm garden continue to interest
the older ones and amuse the children. The
reproduction Of the Corbett-Jeffries fight
in San Francisco is a realistic exhibition
and has been witnessed by thousands. The
other pictures are all OF them up to the
high mark set at the beginning of the
season. and constitute one Of the most sat
isfactory exhibitions of the kind that has
ever been seen here. Labor day at Cabin
John, as has been the custom for years
past. will be made special day, q great
display of fireworks in the evening and
special program Of music being the prin-
cipal features. There will be other extra at
the attendance record at the Bridge
should be broken. On September 10

given, and on that day during the after
noon the amusement features at the Bridge
will be turned over to the children entirely

creased the attendance at the Bridge until
Its capacity as an amusement resort has
about been tested to its limit.

WILL HAVE NO EFFEcr.
Lack Of Franking Privilege viii Not
Retard District Business,

The use Of stamps instead of franked en-
velopes in the District service, 1t is stated
will not curtail in any way the District
correspondence. nor will it interfere with
the present general efficiency of the service
In speaking Of the subject this morning.
Commissioner mcfarland said:
There will be no curtailment Of the Dis
trict correspondence because OF the decision
of the Post Office Department that the Dis
trict government can no longer use the.pen-
atty envelopes. The Commissioners deter
mined on Monday, when they were notified
OF the decision, that there was no reason
for any such curtailment, and the different
departments of the District government
have been notified to that effect. The bust
ness of the government has gone right on
as usual We have no doubt that Congress
will provide for this matter as soon as 1t
meets, and we have ample funds available
to pay postage until Congress does make
provision. 1t is evident already that the
amount required will probably not exceed
$4OO month. half of which, of course, will
be paid by the United States.''

Buoy Displaced.

The remains Of the old stone wharf
which formerly extended out into the en-
trance to the harbor at the lower end of
the Washington barracks park are now
without a buoy to mark them and give
warning to the vessels unfamiliar with the
conditions there. The rocks are only hid
den by about four feet of water at high
tide and at low water they are often ex-
posed. red buoy marked the danger spot
until it was broken by the dredges on the
Washington barracks improvement and 1t
has not been replaced. 1t is understood the
removal Of the stone is embraced in the
plan for deepening the river channel about
this city.

laved

north of the Long bridge was suspended
several hours last night because of fire
In conduit about the vicinity of the north

sight that was witnessed by large crowd
OF pedestrians. Firemen Newton and
Spangle of Truck c company were sum-
moned, and they flooded the conduit until
the blaze had been extinguished.

Stunning traffic the company procured
coaches and automobiles and transferred
the Alexandria passengers from the station
to the bridge. The damage done by the
blaze was repaired and the cars were rum
ming on schedule time this morning.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Man Who Became Dependent Swallows
Dose Of Laudanum.


Dose Of Laudanum.
A man who is known about the city as
Bill McEdwards made an effort to end
his earthly existence last night by swallow
ing laudanum. His life was saved by the
prompt action of Detective Father. who
was informed by Lieut. Kelly of the mans
threat to kill himself. About $50 o'clock
McEdwards approached Lieut. Kelly at the
District building and introduced himself.
He then inquired for Detectives Horne and
Weldon. who had been endeavoring to get
him employment. Just before leaving the
front of the District building McEdwards
said he intended to kill himself. Then he
started across the street in the direction
of Judiciary Square. Detective Flather
reached him just after he had seated him
self on bench in the park and was dis
covered to be drinking laudanum from
bottle.
What are you doing there?' the de-
tective asked as he grabbed the bottle
from the mans hand.
Going to kill myself"
For what?"
and my wife and children are starving
was the response.
McEdwards had consumed about one
ounce of the drug and the ambulance was
gency Hospital. The surgeons relieved
him of the poison and detained him at the
hospital. Detective Father notified Mrs.
McEdwards at her room on Pennsylvania
avenue of her husbands attempt upon his
life She said she was not surprised. She
told the officer that she had written to
son of her husbands in Massachusetts, and
expected he would come here to look after
his father.
When the patient had fully recovered he
was discharged from the hospital He is
about fifty years old and has been en-
ployed as a Waterman and bartender about
local saloons.
The mans wife and two chill
dren appeared at the office of Sanitary
Officer Frank this morning, where his
name was given as Joseph Mcpherson Ed
wards. Mrs. Edwards alleged that her
husband had made four attempts to end his
life by taking laudanum. and she believes
his mind is impaired. From police head
quarters she went to the Police Court and
preferred a charge of threats against him.
On this charge he was committed to jail
to be examined in order to have his mental
condition determined.
