soFTENED HER HEART.
Young Man Attempts Suicide and Rec
onciliation With Young Woman Result


Arthur A. Brown, young colored man
from this city, created some excitement IN
Baltimore yesterday morning by attempting
to take his own life. 1t is said his sweet
heart refused to have anything further to
do with him, hence the rash attempt at
suicide Annie Percy, the damsel IN the
case was stopping at 742 West German
street. She had gone there without telling
Arthur of her departure Three years ago
she had met him at Atlantic City, and since
then they had been fast friends. Arthur
reached Baltimore Saturday, and yesterday
morning got glimpse of Miss Percy when
she opened the door to take In bottle OF
milk He ran across the street, and after
conversing with her several minutes was
told:
II want nothing more to do with you, SO
don't speak to me-
But allow me to ask you just one ques-
ton; that is all l ask
Mo- said the woman, 81 am done with
you and shall not be bothered with you"
Then she closed the door and went in.
Brown raped on the shutters, and the
last Miss Percy was heard to say to him
was that she would answer no more of his
questions nor would she have anything
more to do with him.
We'll that ends it, said Brown, pulling
a pistol from his pocket and discharging
1t at his breast. The bullet struck against
a rib and glanced. Brown was arrested
and fined S. and costs. Miss Percy ap-
peared in court and paid his fine and the
pair went off together.

wards has been rendered an appointment
on the police force. The tender was made,
1t is said, because of the courage and

the cashier of the Treasury cafe and had
shot Crossing Policeman Osburn The Off
Ger has not yet signified his Willingness to
accept the appointment. He was once a

COMMISSIONERS WAS ovERRU1ED
Decision Of the Interior Department on
T. J. Morman's Case,

Assistant Secretary Miller of the Interior
Department has overruled the decision Of
the commissioner of pensions In the case of
Thomas ]. Norman, a Georgia volunteer in
the Mexican war, whose claim for pension
was rejected by the pension bureau on the
ground that Norman had been diShonorably
discharged and that subsequent legislation
does not operate to change the above
status
Congress on February 49, 1903, directed
the Secretary Of War to correct Morman's
military record and grant him an honorable
discharge. The Secretary of War granted
the discharge and certified the fact to the
commissioner of pensions Mr.. Miller holds
that it is beyond the province of the COM
missioner of pensions or of the Secretary of
the Interior to call into question the con-
stitutionality of an act Of Congress, and
that there was really no constitutional point
involved. The department holds that the
commissioner of pensions has to follow the
records of the War Department and must
accept the records as corrected by Congress
and adjudcate the claim accordingly.

There are two kinds of
emulsions of cod liver oil
Scott's and all the others.
Not one of the latter is as
valuable as Scott's Emul=
sion and there's a reason
for it. Only the purest i'm
gradients enter our Enmul=
sion and its quality never
varies. That is why it
helps when all others fail.
There's mot much oil inn
the market now; it's scarce
and high i'm price. But seal
oil and other inferior oils
are cheap and plentiful.
That's why you cam buy so
any substitute for
SCOTS Emulsion at a lower
price.
We guarantee OUR Emul=
sion to be the best remedy
for weak lungs, low vitali=
ty and wasting conditions.

others?
We'll send you a sample free, upon request.

Seeing an expression of pain on his
face as he raised his hand, she asked,
"What is it, Jamie?'

must go home," was the reply
Putting her hand on his head and
finding it quite cool, she said, 81
think it can't ache much, jamie. You
would better not go now.'
jamie went back to his work, but
soon his hand was raised again and
inquiry developed the fact that his
tooth ached so severely that he felt he
could not remain moment longer.
The teacher looked at his teeth. and
finding them in remarkably fine con-
dition, once more assured him that
the pain was only imaginary, and re-
turned to her class.
She had just bee ONE absorbed in
the lesson when wall from jamie
seat caused her to go to him again,
and with some impatience she said,
"Well, Jamie, what can it be this
time?''
With tears in his eyes and raining
down his cheeks, Jamie answered, ,
