WAS BOUND TO DIE
The Persistent Efforts of Clarence
 Hancock. to Hang Himself

Clarence Hancock, a young man liv- ing with his parents north of the city, was examined in probate court yester- day for insanity and committed to the asylum. It was shown that he was subject 10 epileptic fits and that before and after such attacks he had ten dency toward suicide.
 On Wednesday afternoon he kept the neighborhood in which he lives in an uproar. He had been talking about hanging himself and his parents be- lieved that 1t was no meaningless threat for once before he and actually hanged himself and had been cut down by his father just in time.
 There were some men working In the road in front of the, Hancock residence and MT. Hancock asked them to assist him in keeping watch on his son. They did so and in little while the young man came out of the house with a rope. The watchers followed him about for some time. At last he climbed a tree and putting the rope about his neck he aied the other end of it to the tree. Before he had time to jump off he was seized, taken down and the rope was taken from him. After that he went into the house and became threatening toward his parents SO much so that his mother became alarmed. He soon after left the house and began wandering over the neigh borhood inquiring for a rope. He f. nally secured one and made another attempt to hang himself and again the rope was taken from him. He then armed himself with pitchfork and a corn knife. His father tried to take these weapons from him and the young man made a desperate lunge at him with the fork. Again he set out in search of rope. He took his weapons with him on this hunt and the follow CTS fearful that he might do himself an injury with them were obliged to lasso him. They kept him tied until an officer from the sheriff's office came after him.
 He was wild and violent when he was taken into custody and he remained so during the night but yesterday thei was an improvement of his mental condition and he was able to answer the questions put to him intelAgently.

HIGH SCHOOL BONDS LOST
The Second Defeat More Crushing
 Than the First.

It seems to be the sense of the ma jority of the qualified voters of this high school district that that institu- ton is not in need of the improvements which have been suggested by the board A more crushing defeat was ad- ministered to the bond proposition yes- terday than that suffered earlier in the season. There were 322 votes cast two- thirds of which were required for the bonds. The bonds received only 143 votes while 1S9 were cast against them. The issue proposed was $10,0O0, the amount agreed upon at various mass meetings held for the purpose of ad- justing differences of opinions existing In the district on the subject of bond issue. The officers of the election were: c. w. Johnstone, inspector; T. Bone and J. D. Marlar judges. and Waldo Christy and Leon Jacobs, clerks.
 Not a great deal of interest was talk en in the election and almost from the beginning it was evident that the bonds would be defeated. There was gen. eral apathy in the town and the voters from the country were known 10 be largely against the bonds. There were not a great many women out to the polls; fewer. in fact, than have at tended a school election of any char acter in recent years.
 The proposition at the former cleo tion was q bond issue of $20,00o. It was defeated though it received a majority of all the votes cast. It would no doubt have carried but for what was believed to be an irregularity in the purchase by the board of property adjoining. the school property and which irregularity, it was understood the bonds were to be made to cover The greater part of the opposition came from the country as it did yester- day and out of that opposition grew that sentiment in favor of the separa' tion of the high school from the gram mar schools of Phoenix which has just been effected.
 After sufficient time had elapsed mass meeting was called for the pur- pose of directing the board to ceH an- other election. No request was made at that meeting but the situation was talked over and another meeting Was ordered. In the meantime a commit tee was appointed to inquire into the actual needs of the school and that committee reported that s1O,0OO would be sufficient. The committee was made up in part by men who had been ac- lively opposed to the bonds at the for- mer election. At the second mass meeting there was apparently no op- position to a bond issue of s1O.Ooo and it was not expected that a serious vote against the bonds would be developed at the election.
 But between the calling of the elec- ton and the holding of it the M'Don- mold episode occurred and while that | did not lessen the needs of the high school it is supposed to have had de- moralizing effect in many directions. It is believed by some that it was felt at l the election yesterday.

Give Him a Seat.
642 1-2 Congress st.

The Washington Post tells this
story
GA negro occupying seat on
the floor of the house has become
an unusual sight, although in
years gone by there have been
negro members galore. One of
the negro contestants from a
southern district ventured in last
week, contestants being allowed
the privilege. He was a planta-
tion negro and not used to such
things as the house of represen-
tatlves. The employees quickly
detected his embarrassment, as
he insisted for a time in standing
near the cloakroom doors, along
with the negro attendants.
Finally he was coaxed into taking
seat. The boys have been try
ing to persuade him that it was
his duty to sit part of the time
by Mr.. Payne, the floor leader,
as a matter of respect to the en-
met New Yorker, but the colored
politician is backward about ac-
cepting that kind of advice"
He ought to be seated with his
friends, of course. Mr.. Crum-
packer, of Indiana, though, is the
man for him to associate with.
Why doesn't the honorable mem
Der from Indiana invite the poor
negro to equal rights and shares
of his political dignity. He
should make an interesting and
pervading associate to Mr.. Crum-
packer during the warm summer
days of the session, especi ally

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency Of medical SCI ence
Is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world is
being given to the subject. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than
to cure. 1t has been fully demon.
strated that pneumonia, one of
tho most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of in
fuenza (grip), and it has been
observed that this remedy coun.
teracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and
grip IN recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit conf
dence. Pneumonia often results
from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until tits sudden.
ly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then it is an
nounced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For

LO, THE POOR NEGRO.
He is Despised i'm the City of
BrOtherly Love.

The Ledger. has been taking
note Of the manner in which the
negroes have been drifting into
Philadelphia but says that only
the most dangerous element has
been seeking a home there. 1t
says further that since January
lst, nineteen negroe criminals
have been convicted in the Grim
lnal courts, and that 95 per cent.
OF the persons tried for burglary
and robbery in the interval in
the principal criminal court were
negroes. More than two. thirds
OF these convIcts were recent ar
rivals from the south. Negro
crime had fallen off in 1895, but
since then negro migration
from the south has very percept-
IDLY increased, a fact which il re-
corded in the steady increase Of
negro criminals.
The population in Philadelphia
in 1900 was 1,29S,697. The negro
population was 62,613, a little
less than 5 per cent. of the total.
In 1896, of 5S,O72 persons arrest.
ed, 5,3O2 were negroes, about 10
per cent. On January %, 1904,
465 convlcts were serving senten-
ces at the Holmesburg prison, of
whom 166 were negroes, over 35
per cent. In the convict depart.
ment of Moyamensing there are
nlnety-one negro convIcts, over
80 per cent. of total of 257. In

30 per cent. of the accused are

mitted during the year ending

Couldn't Have the Horses.

SOuiuh hafo tue Horses.
Much of George Washington's
firm strength of character was
due to his splendid ancestry, as
the following little anecdote will
testify:
While reconnoitering in West
moreland county, Va. one of
General Washington's officers
chanced upon a fine team of
horses driven before a plough by
burly slave. Finer animals he
had never seen. When his eyes
had feasted on their beauty he
cried to the driver:
Hello, good fellow! l must
have those horses. They are just
such animals as have been look
ing for"
The black man grinned, rolled
up the whites of his eyes, put the
lash to the horses fanks and
turned up another furrow in the
rich soil. The officer waited un.
til he had finished the row the u ,
throwing back his cavalier cloak,
the ensign Of rank dazzled the
slavess eyes:
"Better see mlssis Better see
missis !" he cried, waving his
hand to the south, where, above
the cedar growth, rose the towers
of tne old Virginia mansion.
The officer turned up the carria ge
road and was soon rapping the
great brass knocker at the front
door. Quick the door swung
upon its ponderous hinges and a
grave, majestic looking woman
confronted the visitor with an
air Of inquiry.
MADAME" said the officer,
doffing his cap and overcome by
her dignity. 81 have come to
claim your horses in the name of
the governmentw
my horses9" said she, bending
upon him pair of eyes born to
command. "Sir, you cannot have
them. My crops are out and l
need my horses in the field"
81 am sorry" said the officer,
"but l must have them, madame.
Such are the orders of my chief"
Your chiefs Who is your
chief pray" she demanded with
restrained warmth.
"The commander of the Ameri-
can army, Gen. George Washing
ton," replied the other, squaring
his shoulders and swelling with
pride. A smile of triumph SOFT
ened the sternness of the wo.
mans handsome features. "Tell
George Washington" said she,
that his mother says he cannot
have her horses"
With an humble apology, the
officer turned away, convinced
that he had found the source of
his chiefs decision and self com
mand.
And did Washington order his
officer to return and make his
mother give up her horses9 No;
he listened to the report in al
lence; then, with one of his rare
smiles, he bowed his head.-The
