lines of his mission and later will visit
Japan, China, Siam and India.
Alfred Palamountain, an Australian
tenor, arrived on the Sonoma. He has
come to America in search of new au-
diences to conquer with his voice, to
which the Australian cities have paid
some flattering tributes. He hopes to
get a hearing from the management of
the Tivoli. and failing that Will follow
the footsteps of Hamilton Hill over
the Orpheum circuit.
John Hopkins the sailor who lost
a leg through getting it jammed in the
Sonoma's winch on a previous voyage,
was brought home on the liner. Dur
ing the trip his shipmates made up

OncileS Father and Mother
Special Dispatch to The Call.

KOKOMO. Ind. July 1S.-Therese.
the 7-year-old daughter of Adolphus
and Mrs Munior of this city. tried to
commit suicide here to-day. Never
was so great a tragedy expressed in
so few words. Three lives entered into
the tragedy as dramatis persOnae-
that OF little Therese. her mother and
father. Some little time ago trouble
stalked to the Munior door and en-
tered without awaiting permission.
The couple soon after separated.
Therese MuniOr was OF a most af-
fectiOnate disposition. She loved her
father and mother equally we'll and
it was apparent TO every one that the
blow of the separation was more than
the little one could bear.
No one, however. expected that the
little child would dream of taking the
desperate step she took to-da.-. The
child had no money with which TO
purchase poison. but she had deter
mined to die by lying on the grass and
eating a quantity of it chat had
been literally sprinkled with poison
for bugs Soon she was in great
agony. and suffered so much pain that
she was compelled to tell her mother
what she had done. A doctor was
hurriedIy summoned. and it is just
possible that the child's life may be
saved.
Out of the tragedy that threatened
to destroy the Munior home happiness
has resulted. for. melted by the COM
mon interest Of their child's suffering.
Mr. and Mrs. Munior have settled their
differences

the testimony is not as to facts, but

manded of c. w. Clark and Others

Falconer, administrator of the estate

sion of the mine on May l, 1902, for
the purpose of exploring it and that
he was to pay 100000 on July 81,
1903, for the properties mentioned. 1t
is alleged that Clark refused to carry
out the contract.

/. d. Bluxome as secretary.
Mr.. Allen reported, as chairman of

Board of Public Works was in favor
OF making HI street thoroughfare to
the ocean beach-that is, to bitumin-
ize and lay cement sidewalks from
First avenue to Seventh avenue and to
macadamiZe the street from there on
to the Ocean boulevard. Sol Getz, it
was stated, is grading his property at
that point, having lowered the road
way seven feet.
The matter is to be recommended
to the Supervisors at their next meet
ing. 1t is hoped that Welsbach lights
may also be placed at intervals along
the road.
