SOUGHT DEATH.
Keene, N. H., Woman Didn't Want To
Be Sick, Suicide.

Keene, n. IT., Nov. 14.--Alrs. Emily
J. Fisher, who resides on Damon court
this city, committed suicide yesterday
by drowning. Mrs. Fisher was in the
habit Of getting breakfast for her two
sons and calling them about o'clock
The sons heard her get up, but she did
not call them, and at $50 they got M
to see what was the matter. They found
that the fire had been built and that
food had been left cooking on the
stove.
They at once rushed to the pond in
Creenlawn cemetery, which is near by,
and there they found their mother In
the water, dead. They called the police
and had the body removed to their
home.
A short time ago Mrs. Fisher was
heard to say that, before she would
suffer i'll health like her sister, she would
drown herself, and it was this state
ment that caused the sons to look for
her in the cemetery pond.

A BRILLIANT AssEMBLAcE.
Gathered in Madison Square Garden Last
Night.


New York, Nov. l4.--Aiadison Square
Garden held what was declared to be its
most brilliant assemblage last night
when Rear Admiral Prince Louis of Bat
tenberg lent his presence as an added
distinction to the formal opening of the
2lst annual show under the auspices OF
the National Horse Show association.
The garden had been open during the
day, and judging Of various classes had
been IN progress, but it remained for
the evening to give to the show its social
impetus and spectacular effects.
Prince Louis's arrival was the signal
for remarkable demonstration Long
after he had entered the presidents box
he was kept standing bowling to right
and left in acknowledgment Of the plau-
dts that came from thousands of peo-
pie, representative of American social
life.
CARRIED in yellow and black, the col.
ors OF the horse show, the garden was
in effective dress as background for
the fashionably attired throng which by
nine o'clock last night had completed
the picture.
The horse show has come to be looked
upon as one of the first social events
of the New York season. There are
horses present, of course, the most blue
biooded in America. but last night in
terest turned from the arena to the dis
tinguished personages among the audi
ence, and 70 the display OF fashion.

LABOR UNION GROWTH.

While the advance during the past
year has not been SO marked as in some
Of the years just previous, there was
still great increase made in the mem
bership in the country's labor move
ment. The report OF the secretary
Of the American Federation Of Labor,
as presented yesterday, shows that from
October !, 1904, to September 80, 1905,
there were 2S7 charters issuesd. The
number does not come up to the average
Of the last nine years. In 1897 there
were PIT; in 1898, 203; in 1899, 40;
in 1900, $40, in 1901, GIG. The years
1902 and the one following were the
banner ones Of the period, 1924 char
ters having been given ont during the
former and 1888 during the latter.
There was, however, decided drop the
next year, with the issuance of 443,
the decrease this year being not so
marked. The total number Of charters
for the period of nine years is 5,721,
which must have brought the individual
membership up by a very large total.
OF the 2s7 charters granted during the
last year, ; were for international
unions, for state unions, 81 for
central, lab for trade unions and 73 for
federal unions.
Coming down to that branch of the
American Federation which is Of the
more local interest, we find that the
voting strength Of the granite cutters
union has not only been maintained,
but that it has actually increased, while
many Of the large unions showed de-
crease Since 1897 that voting strength
has more than doubled. The secretary
reported that seventeen granite cutters
charters were granted during the year
and that three charters were surrendered
through utilization. The gain in member
ship was very large, the returns show
ing that the granite cutters stand fifth
contributing 1850 to the total increase
of 1896. The report says that the
granite cutters have had IL strikes and
that they won Is, Securing seven pei
cent increase in wage for 1000 men
The cost OF the strikes was 81, s51.31
and they furnished i,1s0 donations K
other unions. In 20 localities settle
nents were effected without strikes.
bit Of interesting information in con
nection with the granite cutters unior
is that in the past ten years the worl
day has been reduced from Q to hours
and that 20 per cent increase in wages
has been secured, while monthly pay
days have been changed to sem. month";,
and where they had been semi month";,
they are now weekly. The death bene
fits paid out were $21 ,764.6s, which
amount is surpassed only by seven 9th
er organizations, the carpenters, cigar
akers, glass bottle blowers, hotel and
restaurant employees, machinists, iror
molders and typographical.

AT END OF REVOLVER.
Manchester. N. H.. Merchant Forced to
Give Up Sls5.

Manchester, y. H., Nov. l4.--One Of
the boldest hold-ups that have been
recorded in police circles for many a
day took place yesterday afternoon
shortly after 2 o'clock when A. s. La

1871 Spruce street, was held up by Ernest
1. Lemay OF GA Main street, clerk
whom he had discharged yesterday morn

in bills and silver and turned this over,

PHOENIX TO BE DEPoPULATED

From the general talk on the street yesterday it is quite evident that mOsi every one, who can secure a few days leave of absence, is making arrange ments to take advantage of the S3 % round trip rate to Prescott, August 5 and which provides for a three day stop over at that point
 The Santa F'e does not seem to be satisfied with carrying people to Pres colt and has made arrangements for a series of special train excursions from Prescott the following day CSun- day). One train will leave Prescott al ';3o a. m. for Crown King for a trip over the Switch Back railroad. fare for round tip $l.50; the regular fare is about $7.OO. Another train will leave the mountain city at s a. m. for the copper city. Jerome. and a cheap rate of S2 has been named. and in order that Phoenicians and members of the National Guard of Arizona may ex- perience no difficulty in securing tick ets.a special representative of the com pany will be in charge of both trains leaving Phoenix and will have sup ply of tickets on hand which can be purchased by passengers into Prescott on these trains
 It is apparent that the Santa Fe will have about all the business it can handle: already the sale of tickets for the Prescott excursion is considerably heavier than the officials anticipated. Our suggestion to every one. who has any idea of going, is not to delay the purchasing of tickets until the last moment, as they may be disposed of long before the departure of the spe- cial train to leave here at D. m. Sat urday next.
 This Is an excellent opportunity for one to get away from the heat for a few days. Ample hotel accOmmOda- tions will be provided and same may be secured by telegraph on application to excursion agent in charge of train. No charge will be made for making such reservations
