WAS NOT a CHARM.
Third Attempt of Woman to Commit
Suicide Fails.

New York, Aug. 11.-After a desperate
struggle on the sill of a fifth story win
dow where Mrs. Rose Shramke was only
prevented by the efforts of a woman
friend and policeman from throwing
herself into the street, Mrs Shramke
was today for the third time prevented
from killing herself Mrs. Shramke was
a trapeze performer in Berlin, a few
years ago. when a lieutenant in the
German army induced her to elope with
him. She continued to perform in the
circus until she fell and was badly in
jured in Pittsburg, a few years ago
Then they came to New York and
three months ago her husband disap-
peared. Mrs. Shramke boarded with
Mrs. Mary Notz on East F'ifty-fourth
street. Made respondent by her failures
and the absence of her husband she
first tried to hang herself. Failing in
that she boiled matches in water and
drank the liquid but became impatient
and was trying to jump from the win
dow when Mrs. Notz discovered her.

and Nebraska. In wisconsin only GER
tain ones can be sent to the state hos
pltals. and the counties have to pay
for the support of the ones who are
sent, and IL the state hospitals have
been unable to cure the patient ne is
then returned to the county.
This board must do one of two
things at once: Either notify the
county authorities to remove all insane
persons from the state hospitals who
are incurable and harmless to the re-
spective, counties to which they be-
long, at the expense of the county, as
is provided by section 1892, General
Statutes of 1901, and section 1891,
General Statutes Of 1901, or have the
officer who brings in a new patient
from a county take one of these other
patients back to his county with him.
And it may become necessary to re-
turn the idiots in the state hospitals to
the different counties

WITHOUT FoUNDATIOR

In commenting upon the Alaskan convention that will convene at Seattle next week the Juneau Transcript says;
 There is not the least doubt iu the world but what the convention will be absolutely under the control of the Se- sttle chamber of commerce, of which the Nome chamber of commerce and two or three others in Ala,ka are only branches. Who elects the members Of a chamber of commerce?"
 No one knows better how without foundation is that declar ,ion than does the Transcript. The fact is the Seattle chamber of commerce for years has been the strongest factor in the tory camp, the chief organ of which is the Juneau Transcript. The Tran script knows that under present condi- tions the Seattle chamber of commerce has more Influence 10 Alaskan matters than Alaskans. Itkn0ws also that that influence has been used iu diverting the attention of congress from the cause Of territorial government for Alaska, It knows, further, that the signs indicate that the convention which will be held st Seattle will adopt a strong declara- tion in favor of territorial government. So far every delegate lhst has been chosen except those from Seward and valdez has been instructed for seltgov- ernment by mass meetings of the peo- pie. Rather than being dominated by the Seattle chamber Of commerce the convention is more like to give that or ganization a good rap indirectly at least.
