Attempted Suicide.

A stranger. registering as DR.. Harold
H. Haas, attempted to kill himself at
the Eakleton Hotel Tuesday evening
by shooting himself through the head.
Dependency is attributed as the cause
for the deed. He is brother of Mr..
TalfOurd N. Haas of the Harrisonburg
bar, who was Immediately phOned for
and drove to Stanton that night.
DIR. Haas is a surgeon in the U. s. navy
and among his papers was found one
granting him sick leave from the Naval
Hospital at Portsmouth. Drs. Cat.
lett and Armstrong who attended the
wounded man think that should he re
cover he will lose the sight of his eyes
as well as his reason. The ball having
entered the right temple and passing
through the brain lodged over the left
eye. His condition is very serious.
DIR. Haas had been drinking heavily
since be arrived here.

cry, or that he could have prevented
the bond issue hal he chosen to do SO.
Now we come down to his action to
ward the party.
If we admit that Democratic votes
elected him in 1892 we must admit that
his majority was overwhelming, be
cause it was, and that the party never
was in such condition as to morale and
numbers. How then, if he were the
great and good Democrat, the mighty
leader he is now represented to be, did
the party under bis leadership go to
the dogs in four short years, as it GER
tainly did? In 1892 it was in splendid
condition, il had just gained an over
whelming ictOry with Cleveland at
its head and as its leader, in 1896 it
was disorganized mob. In the name
of all that IS good and great, why did
it fall into such a state before his four
years were ended, 80 disorganized that
a nomination from it went begging at
Chicago? 1t did SO go to pieces, and
this Is enol gh to disgust Democrats
with Cleveland if there were nothing
else.
The reason it went to pieces is plain,
it is remem bered by everybody. and
known of every body, who wants to re-
member 1T, that Cleveland had gone
over to the enemy; he had deserted
the party, be had turned traitor and he
has been member of the Republican
party ever since, and there be can
stay so far as the great masses of the
people are concerned. No man who
who voted and worked for Mckinley
and Republican success in 1896 and
1900 as Cleveland, can ever be trust
ed Democrat so soon thereafter, and
the Baltimore Sun and its cOnfreres
in that political crime had as we'll
learn this once and for all time.

Ing or share in his discomfort, tor to
me anything 50 large and grand as the
Poinciauna is all ever present delight,
an experience, the sensation of which
is always new. Having seen and heard
about the largest hotel, we then want
ed to see the largest kitchen in the
world, so In company with the stew
ard, Mr.. z. N. Qulnlan and his chef.
we entered the great Poincianna
kitchen, a hive of industry. II Was at
the hour of serving dinner and to US
it seemed scene Of confusion,
pandemonium, but this was our green
ness, for every man was In bis appoint
ed place doing his work systematically
and rapidly. The clatter of dishes anu
the bang of pan and skillet as it rose
from the hurrying of 400 walters and
80 cooks, was deafening, but beyOI d
the swinging doors where /, 500 guests
were being served In the great dining
hail. all was delightfully."- quiet, for the
rubber heels and deep Carpet gave forth
no jarring sound to ruffis the nerv.s
Not only was the kitchen great in size
but in appointment and discipline.
Every department had its chef and
over all the steward. The ranges, the
boilers, the dish washers, the coffee
urns, were all of the latest make To
US the departments of the greatest in
terest were the cold storage and tie
store rooms In each of these was
packed stores that would glut the
largest wholesale grocery house and
the largest fresh meat market. Ducks,
sora, geese, fish, chickens, turkeys and
all kinds of poultry, dressed and pack
ed away to be used as needed. The
single item of Diamond back turtles
at 1884 per dozen must have been i'm
mense, for there we're barrels of them.
ReQuisitiOn for 81. 500 worth of stores
is made each day, some of the items
being such as barrels of flour, 1,100
lbs of fish. 2,200 lbs of beef, 1000 lbs
pork, etc. Besides feeding the army of
guests, there are ZOO servants or help
rs they are called, that must also be
provided for by this kitchen. When
we were leaving, the steward remark
ed: "One question more, have you
seen the garbage" No we had not,
but at the rear of the kitchen was
standing the garbage train. Every
morning early" said he, before the
guests are astir, this train is pulled
out to the everglades where the Cars
of garbage and refuse are dumped"
The great kitchen and it's noisy com
motion is one of the sights that but
few of the tourists are ever privileged
to see, but it il as interesting sight
and more novel one than many that
they witness on the beautiful lawns
from the grand porticOs.

STRANGE DIVERSITY OF OPINION.

Augusta cuts but little figure in
many matters pending before the Leg
ture. Our Senator takes one side of a
matter and our Delegates the other,
thus our position and influence in
many important matters is en- irely
nullified aud the united power and in
fiuence of the greatest county in the
State is lost We have had several
evidences of this kind. When the State
was divided into new districts some
time ago question arose as to where
Highland should fall. Our delegates
were opposed to the prestige of Au
gusta being lost as senatorial dis
trict by the lacking on of another
county, but our spontaneous and
warm hearted senator opened his arms
to Highland and took her in. Kind
indeed was the act. but entirely devoid
of political accumen, district pride, or
the wishes of bis constituents.
Last week a great question arose.
one of the most mOmentOus that has
arisen in years. 1t was the giving
away of 5000 900 of the peoples money
to the jamestown Exposition. On this
question there was again division
among our representatives. our SEN
ator going one way and our delegates
the other, and again the influence of
the county was nullified, if it was not
lost. 1t is strange that our delegates
thinking they We're representing the
wishes of an overwhelming number
of their constituents, should have
voted against the appropriation, and
our senator. equally honest In Think
ing be was voicipg the overwhelming
majority of bis constituents, should be
have voted for the appropriation, Such
wide diversity of views is absolutely
astounding. Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars is a vast sum to give away.

even if meritorious no representative

ingly in favor of it. Now just how our
delegates and our senator can both be
, right on this vote when the delegates
voted one way and the senator the
other, while both represented the same
constituency will for long time re.
main mystery. We are surprised t6
find Augusta about the only senatorial
district in which such wide diversity
of opinion so frequently exhibits itself
Where the delegates and senator are OF
, the same political faith they usually
hear the command of their constitu
ents alike. But here IN Augusta it is
growing to be the exception that they
think alike or act alike A great
many people in Augusta may be pleased
with this appropriation to jamestown,
but there are great many who are
not pleased, and they are very free to
express themselves when the matter is
discussed. The county ia in a muddl e
over it.
