LAUDANUM SUICIDE
Jesse BeaI a Raleigh Carpen-
ter Ended His Life Last
Night.

Jesse Beal, a Raleigh carpenter COM
mitted suicide last night.
Beal is about fifty-seven years old, and
his home is at the corner of. North and
Sanders streets.
He ended his life with laudanum and
there IS no cause known for 1t except that
he was drinking yesterday afternoon.
Ordinarily he is said to be a jolly, good
natured man.
lie had obtained about a half pint Of
laudanum getting it at different places IN
small quantities.. He had been down the
street and was in the court house during
the day, where he was a witness in the
Nunnally case. He seemed all right
while In the court house.
He reached home about dark, and 1t
was seen he had been drinking. Soon his
actions Indicated trouble and neighbo1s
were sent for. One of them. Hint Wlgglns,
knocked one bottle of laudanum from hls
hand and physicians were sent for.
Drs. Jones and McGeachy reached the
man before he dled> and did everything IN
their power to save him, but it was too
late. Artificial respiration was tried
without avaiI and he died at eleven
o'clock, never having been aroused from
the stupor into which he had fallen.
Beal leaves a wife and eight children.
From none O them can be learned any
cause which would show why the man
ended his life thus rashly.

Plans for School Houses.

State superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, j. Y. Joyner, in a letter to the coun-
~ superintendent accompanying copies
Of the plans for Building Public School
Houses" says:
The ceiling should be thirteen feet,
never less than twelve feet, clear between
the ceiling and the finished floor, and if
the floor space Is very great the ceiling
should be greater man thirteen feet. The
light, according to best authorities, should
come from the rear and left side, or from
the left side only. The glass surface
should be equal to one-fifth or one-sixth
OF the floor surface, and the TOP of the
window should be as near the ceiling as
possible m order to give the best v~entila-
ton 1t Is the opinion of the best authori-
ties that the shape OF the school room
should be oblong, the ratio of the breadth
to the length should be about as 3 to ).
In constructing a new building it is an
easy matter to provide d cloak-room too,
with very little additional cost, and this
should be lone.
IN Section Is Of the School Law for
1903 you viii observe this clause: They
(the County Board Of Education) shall not
be authorized to invest any money in any
new school house that is not built in ac-
cordance with the plans approved by State
superintendent of Public Instruction.
Il call your attention to this clause OF
the new law, because it is absolutely ne.
Cessary that you observe the above sug
gestlons, for in the future i'm building
school houses We must keep in mind the
health and comfort of the child. even If il
does cost more money!
