II has recently been discovered that
Brazilian quartz pebbles may be used
as material for making glass that will
resist great heat. as we'll as sudden
changes of temperature. The process
consists of heating the pebbles red-hot
ard throwing them into distilled water,
when the purest pieces are taken out
and welded with the oxyhydrogen
b!owpipe into long stems resembling
knitting needles. From these stems
are blown glass vessels o. any desired
shape. The glass is At present used
chiefly for making apparatus for lab
oratcry purposes. 1t Is said that test

A SINGULAR Suicide

While In Kings College hospital on
Sunday morning awaiting an operation
Joseph Green, aged fifty-six, g. butcher
lately residing at 40 Prince street, Dept
ford, was seen by another patient-a lad
named Amey-to be acting strangely.
ATney noticed a movement under the bed
clothes, as if Green was stabbing himself
In the stomach. This went on for nearly
ten minutes. Green's face bore an agon-
lied look, but he did not groan. He sub
sequently pulled the clothes up level with
his eyes and seemed to be injuring his
face.
Just then a nurse came in and discov-
cred the patient was cutting his own
throat with a table knife which with a
fork, he had taken from his LOCKED. The
nurse seized his wrists and held him
until assistance arrived.
Godfrey Wallace, Hughes. house sur
geon at Kings College hospital, said the
patient was obviously very nervous at
the impending operation. which had been
postponed on account of his showing signs
Of delirium trer ms After he had in
jured himself h, was sensible and very
calm, but apparently suffering from
shock.
In the operating theater it was ascer-
tanned that he had inflicted a wound eight
inches long III the abdomen and an in
cision seven inches long on the left side
of his neck below the jaw. He recovered
well from the operation, but gradually
sank, ana died the same night from shock
following injury to the stomach
The jury returned a verdict of suicide
during temporary insanity.

TOAST TO A RARE GIRL.

All, drink if We will to sweetheart true
And wife of faith undaunted,
And drink in the praise Of their fetching
ways
To charms that have long been vaunted.
And drink to the eyes and drink to the
lips,
Aye. drink, since drink We must,
But when you've done, drink every one
To the girl the women trust.
All, drink, if We will, to one whose faith
Can last through years untroubled;
And drink to the trust that is never mar
red
Though a mans deceit be doubled;
And drink to the songs and drink to the
signs
OF earth and of heaven above;
But the proudest boast is to drink a toast
To the girl the women love.
Aye. drink to the lass who can praise
the charms
That would steal her love could they
seize him;
And drink to the lass who will snub a man
When she has no right to please him;
And drink to her great, warm. honest soul,
Aye, drink to her kiss and curl,
For her hearts as true as the sky is blue
Who is true to another girl.

A shrewd Calculation.

Senator Vest came into the senate
chamber feebly; he leaned on his man ser
wants arm. But he was in good spirits,
and there was soon gathered about him a
little group of statesmen.
Senator Vest began to evoke memories

your head above this wall-bang! bang

ened. Stones fell about me, and though

quite forgot to count my steps. So when
on my return the captain asked me what
the distance was was embarrassed. But
In a moment had happy thought.
How far captain, would you say It

how groundless and unjust this preju-
dice is, let US compare the negroes and
the Italians. To my personal knowl-
edge there are more than 200 colored
men in this city who are prosperous
enough to own their own homes, and
who live in comfort. Are there a great
er number of Italians in a similar po-
sition? I do not believe there are,
because so many of them, after saw
ing few thousand dollars, return to
Italy"

tomobiles, and more than one house

it.
There is a dressmaking establish
ment up town presided over by two

COHEN TO TAKE THE STAND,
Case viii Probably Go to the Jury
TODAY


Joseph Cohen went on the stand in
his own behalf yesterday. The de-
Tense seems to be that the defendant
did not visit the Meyers woman nor
accept any money from her, as charged
in the Indictment. An effort will be
made to show that the state made an
attempt to cOerce the complaining wit
ness, and on this line every endeavor
will be made to acquit the defendant.
The defendant in this case must be
found guilty or innocent solelytas to the
one offense charged in the Indictment
towit: That he accepted money from
Mary Meyers, with the understanding
that protection would be extended to
her.
There appears very little probability
ing the present aspects of the prOsecu-
ton. During the hearing yesterday
the county attorney attempted to bring
out certain matters concerning the con-
versation between the witness and he
wife and sister-in-laW of the defend
ant. But the defense objected and was
sustained in it's objection to further tes-
timony on this line. In all probable
ity the case will be given to the jury
today
If the jury disagrees or acquits the
defendant in this case, the county at
torney will move for trial on another
indictment, for he has ordered all the
witnesses that have been subpoenaed
in this case to be in court Monday.
The trial of the case has cost the
county about $1,000.

CAREFULLY GUARDING AMEs.
Bondsnen Pay Expenses Of Deputy
Sheriff to Watch Him.

0ncrIH TO WatCh Him.
No chances are being taken by Sher-
III Dreger on the possible escape from
custody of former Mayor A. A. Ames,
nome at Hancock, N. H. The sheriff
has taken every possible precaution to
obVlate the possibility of further pub
lie criticism. Three deputy sheriffs of
H1lIsboro, N. H., have been set to watch
the room in which Ames is secluded.
one OF them remains with the ex-may-
or all the time. The other two are
constantly in the vicinity. They
are in the pay of the Hennepin
county authorities, which authorities
nave really no funds with which to pay
such expenses. The money necessary
TO take care of Ames is being furnish
ed by his bOndSmen, who are under
stood to be ready to pay $4,000 If nee
essary to insure his delivery before
the court.
Sheriff Dreger asserts that Ames IS
really In such serious condition Of
health that his return here may be-
come matter Of life and death. 1t
will be necessary in bringing him back
TO secure trained nurse and a doc
tor, who will travel with him in a COM
partment car. Ames at times, like all
men IN his condition, is brilliantly ar
gumentative, and at other times abso-
tutely non cOmpos mentis.~ There ap-
pears to be very little doubt that medi-
cal evidence will show him to be utter
ly incompetent in a legal sense in case
an effort is made to arraign him on the
charges which rest against him in Hen
nepin county.
If Ames, as believed at the time Of
his departure, took a large sum Of
money from Minneapolis with him. his
financial resources have been dissipated
through the necessity for constant
medical attention and nursing. He is
now declared by his friends in Mime
apolis to be absolutely without finan-
cia1 resources and no recovery can be
had against him for any expenses that
may be incurred in his prosecution.

RISE OF OKLAHOMA.

On the flowing Hoo-kla- Hat Chic
=. Lived little wild Apache
In the tepee where he first observed the
light;
He had skin about the color
OF a Well-done Yankee cruller,
And his hair was blacker than the shades
With his little bow and arrows
He would hunt the wrens and sparrows
And would chase the bounding rabbit DER
And now with prairie dogs and gophers
And the other furry loafers
With his weapons he was always raising
Cain!
The astrologers and sages
VI the village, men of ages
That entitled their predictions to respect
Prophesied the varmint scarer
Would become a holy terror
Ii with bloody war he ever should con-
meet.
But his buckskin- colored father
Told the seers they needn't bother
With the stars, for he had other aims
And the kid was sent to college
To acquire some paleface knowledge
And become a shining oratoric light.
Oft his daddy told the sages
AS he read to them the pages
OF the letters Ok-La-Ho- Ma to him writ,
That when he had graduated
He would not be simply rated
Just as some, but he would be the
total IT.
With his wondrous oratory
He would wreath his name in glory;
He would hold the gathered masses with
his tongue,
And from Montezuma'S palace
To Aurora Borealis
They would hear his praises rapturously
sung.
And his proud old dads prediction
Proved to be no hot-air fiction
For 1T wasn't such a massive bunch of
moons
Ere the gifted Ok-La-Ho- Ma
Waited away with diploma
Graduated full Of acknowledgement of
prunes.
And the band it sure surpasses
How his voice does hold the masses
AS upon the streets his eloquence he spills
Bout an herb the medic sages
OF his tribe have used for ages,
