SUICIDE.

One of the most tragic of sui
cides was enacted in Washington
City on Monday last. Disappoint-
ed in love, young Randell Webb
Elliott was robbed of the pleasures
OF this life and by his own hand
launched his soul into eternity.
He lived in a boarding house kept
by lady, within a few doors of
the residence of his brother. who
is prominent physician. In pre-
pairing to destroy his life he DOM
ed the bath robe belonging to his
hostess son and turned the gas on.
The hostess discovered amidst the
Sitting gas his body lying upon
the bed and from the bath robe
covering the form mistook it for
that of her son. With a mother s
broken heart she ran to the street
and asked that a doctor be called
to her dying boy. Dr.. Elliott re-
sponded. With undisturb d
nerves, which come with expert
ence in the treatment of human
suffering, CHASTITY and eXcruciating,
to all practitioners, he approached
the corpse. When the face of the
corpse was turned from the wall to
the light its identity was revealed.
The professional countenance Of
the Doctor blanChed, turned to one
of distress when he disCerned that
his robust brother was a suicide.
With the hostess, with a grief
stricken face was mingled fearful
sympathy for the Doctor, who
was now laboring to resuscitate
his brother. Long alter the last
! flicker of life had left the body of
the young man, the frantic physi-
clan worked over mis- brother, us
ing every means in his medical
knowledge to bring a beat back to
the still pulses and to force breath
through the blue lips. But it was
useless struggle against death,
and three hours after the suicide
had given up his life for the love
of woman, the brother, exhaust
ed and defeated, fell to the floor
beside the body and was carried
away by friends.

ParOid
Roofing

Four things enter into the max.
ing of good roofing:
The felt; the Sdturdtion; the
coating land the method of laying.
Paroid excels on all four points.
The felt is the foundation. II it
is not right to start with, no treat
ment of any kind can make it into
a good roofing.
We knotD that our felt is right
because we make it in our own
mills Established in 1917
We make it because We cannot
buy a felt elsewhere good enough
for Paroid.
Other manufacturers who buy
their felt in the open market
wherever they can get it cheapest
necessarily take big chances at
the very start.
We couldn't give you the money
back guaranty we do il We did
not make the complete roofing
under our direct supervision.
Paroid roofing is not merely
dipped in a solution, but is soaked
in a water proofing mixture of
our own, which renders every
fibre of it-through and through
absolutely water proof.

And then the coating. Paroid
is coated on both sides with q
smoother, thicker, tougher and
more ferible coating than is on
any other roofing made.
There is 10 room for doubt
about it. You need not take our
word for ii. Use your own judg-
ment. Compare Paroid with other
kinds. You will find that PdrOid

M0BBED A SOCIALIST. ~
A HagerstOwn Citizen Vas Roughly
Handled by Crowd.

~ g NEOhOs
In Hagerstown the victorious
party at an election always makes
a bonfire in the public square of
the town in celebration of the vic
tory, and frequently speeches are
made around it by champions of
the winning side. But they do not
tolerate any interference from the
vanquished. Mr.. Daniel Webste i
Groh knows that now if he never
did before.
The Hagerstown friends of Col
onel Pearre celebrated the victory
the other night in the usual way,
and the Globe of that city tells the
following story of it.
sd. Webster Groh was roughly
handled by a crowd of boys and
young men during the progress of
the bon fire in the public square
about 10 O'Clock. In addition to
his clothes being nearly torn from
his back, his bicycle was almost
wrecked. In attempting to get
away from the crowd, he was pull
ed from his wheel several times
and knocked down. 1t is said per-
sons in the crowd kicked him while
he was lying in the street.
"NIr. Groh rode up to the fire Just
when it was at its height. There
were nearly 500 persons standing
around. He Watched the progress
Of the fire for several minutes and
then began lecturing the crowd OH
their extravaganza in burning up
other peoples property.
Before he had said more than
dozen words someone in the
crowd yelled lynch him Tie
cry was taken up by a hundred
others and all sorts of vile cpl
thets were directed at Mr.. Groh.
about the same time he was
surrounded by the mob, who pull
ed at his wheel and clothing and
several threatened to throw him
and his wheel in the fire.
"Mr. Groh continued to remon-
strate with the crowd, which was
swelling every minute
Seeing his words were of no
avail, Mr.. Groh pushed his way
through the crowd and attempted
to mount his wheel. As he did%
50, young man pulled him off hiA4
seat and threw him to the ground.
Mr.. Groh got up and again
mounted the wheel, but had gone
only a short distance when he was
again knocked over and his lantern
broken
After several more attempts,
Mr.. Groh succeeded III remounting
the wheel and by riding fast man
aged to get away from his tor
mentors. About 800 persons fol-
lowed him out Potomac street as
far as Baltimore, hooting him.
"One Of the witnesses to the
affair says Mr. Groh attempted to
address the crowd on Socialism.
In attempting to get away Mr..
Groh would take his wheel and
swing it around at the boys"

spanned an empire fascinating to
the imagination, as well as appeal
ing to a people keen for new fields
to conquer.
The Missouri Pacific report tells
of big things done, big things
doing and leaves a healthy and
lively impression of bigger things
to come. 1t has the usual routine
OF statistics which feature all rail-
road reports, but the thing of COM
polling interest is the story OF pro-
gress told under such captions as
new lines acquired, construction,
additions, Improvements and work
in progress.
That the Missouri Pacific Rail
way is already a thing Of magni-
tude is shown by the fact that its
gross earnings for the year ended
June 20, 1906, were S44, 500, 900.
But it takes nearly six pages of
the report to chronicle the work of
expansion, the preparation for
handling the growing business of
this western empire and to open
up ahead of the trend of popula-
ton new and undevelsped sections
of this country.
Here is one paragraph about the
Little Rock and Monroe Railway,
- miles long, finished and opened
for operation Oh November I, 1905,
at total cost of $4,000. But
this is only a small-sized affair
compared with a seven-line para
graph that tells of the White River
division. This had been under
construction since June, 1901, and
the entire line was connected and
opened for operation from Bales
vile, Ark, to Carthage, Mo-, on
January I, 1906. The cost was
S9975,ooo. Then there is the
Memphis, Helena and Louisiana
| division of II2 miles, the remain
ing half of which was opened for
operation during the year. The
outlay OH this division was $780,
32S. The Springfield, Mo-, s.
miles, is reported as II per cent.
finished, there being expended
during the year S62I 900 on this
line, bringing the total for it up
to S644, 684. The Gurdon and
Fort Smith Railroad, camille line,
is S. per cent. finished, most OF
which was done during the past
year. On this line sos 900 has
been spent. Five other lines are
in various stages Of completion, in
Guiding one to be II miles long.
1t takes three pages to summar-
ize additions, improvements and
other work in progress, embracing
additional tracks, terminal yards,
new steel bridges, shops, etc. The
addition Of so locomotives and $50
new cars and the ex penditure OF
the large sum Of S5,7SI 900 on re.

THE WONDERFUL GOULD SYSTEM
What Its Completion and Operation
Implies to the State of Maryland.

What Its Completion and Operation
Implies to the State of Maryland.
Since Baltimore added the
Gould railroad influence to the
productive forces Of the city there
has been immeasurably broadened
the interest of Baltimoreans in sec
tions Of the United States never
hitherto associated in any definite
business sense with this city. With
Baltimore as the objective point
for the Atlantic coast tidewater
terminal of the Gould transconti-
mental lines, there has sprung up
an increasingly larger interest in
the Far West and the growing
Southwest traversed by links in
this great chain of railroads. From
the Western Maryland Railroad to
the western terminus of the Wa
bash carries one through a famil-
lar and tributary country to Bal
timore merchants and manufac-
turers, and the new Gould line
here adds to something already
related to Baltimore in a business
way.
But beyond the Wabash is the
Missouri Pacific, and beyond that
link is the Western Pacific, which
is rapidly filling up the gap that
will give the Goulds line to the
Pacific coast over their own rails.
/ For wide-awake Baltimoreans
there is no more fascinating terri
tory than the great area traversed
by the Missouri Pacific system,
which, even in advance Of being
physically tied to the port of Bal
timore by the extension of the
Western Maryland to the Wabash,
had for some years past claimed
the attention of some local inves-
tors, who went into the securities
of the So uthwestern railroads en-
braced in the Could system.
This financial interest, however,
has lately been given a more per-
sonal nature by the fact that Bal
timore is represented on the board
of directors of the Missouri Pa
cific system, and that road is to
become an integral part of the
Gould trans continental line to
Baltimore. Mr.. S. Dawes War
field, president Of the Continental
Trust Company, who was instru-
mental in securing the Identified
ton of the Goulds with Baltimore,
is a director and one of the seven
members of the executive commit
tee of the Missouri Pacific. The
close financial and personal inter
est in which Baltimore is thus as
sociated with the Missouri Pacific
and the awakening attention of the
commercial interests of this city to
the trade possibilities with the
territory this system-so aptly
termed the backbone of the Gould
system reaches makes of more
than passing attention the recently
issued annual report of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway Company.
This report calls for imagination
to picture the vast territory it
reaches. With St. Louis, Men,
phis and New Orleans at its east
ern portals and with Northwestern
ly swing to take in Kansas City
and Omaha, then picture the area
to the west, with the Rio Grande
river as the southern boundary and
the Great Salt Lake as the north
western gateway, and there is
