NO FUN For PRINCE,
. he TURNS TO SUICIDE
Son Of Exiled King Tries to Pois-
on Himself Because He Has
No Amusement.

Paris, Aug. 4.-From sheer boredom
and lack Of facilities for amusement,
Prince Ounilo, son of the exiled ex-King
of Dahomey, attempted to commit sui
eide at Algiers by drinking decoc-
tion Of match heads.
He shares his fathers exile, and as
the French government has kept the
family short Of funds, the young prince
moped all day for want of something
to do.
He got several hundred matches, cut
the phosphorus heads off and boiled
them down. Then he swallowed the de-.
coction, but the pain was so great that
he could not bear it in silence.
His cries brought help just in time
to save his life, and he is now out Of
danger. He said his life was not worth
living without amusement.
His father, ex-King Behanzin, suffers
from Bright's disease. and the doctors
declare that the Algerian climate does
not suit him. It is probable that the
minister of the colonies will consider
whether the king and his son cannot be
permitted to return to their country. "a.

Murphy and Hall Arraisned on Charge
of lntimidating Spoony
Pairs

r. j. Murphy and Frank Hall We're
arraigned before Police Judge Austin
yesterday on charge of extortion
and their examination was set for
Tuesday. Bail in each case was fixed
at $1,000.
The police claim to have evidence
to show the men blackmailed several
men who were found with women
companions in city parks.
According to Patrolman Home, Muir
ply and Hall wore bogus police stars
and were armed with revolvers.
They loitered about Elysian and
Eastlake parks at night and when they
saw a couple in som. sequestered spot
they would accost the man and under
threats of arrest compel him to give
up money
The police claim the two defendants
have been working their game for
weeks.
The complaint of one of their alleged
victims led to the investigation and
capture by Patrolmen Home and King.

Statue to Bernard Lazare

Special Gable to The Herald
PARIS, Sept. 1.-Subscriptions are
being raised for the erection of monu-
ment to Bernard Lazare. the young
writer who was the pioneer Of the cam
paign in favor of the liberation of AL
fred Dreyfus. Lazare died few years
ago, much regretted. He published in
1896 the famous pamphlet, La Verite
sur PAffaire Dreyfus," which caused an
enormous sensation, and influenced
Senator Scheurer- Kestner and others
to take up the case of the prisoner on
Devils island. 1t is proposed to erect
the monument to Bernard Lazare in
his native town of Mines, and at the
same time his life story will be pub
lished by the organizing committee.
This is composed of numerous political,
literary and scientific men.

for "owI cars" aroused considerable
interest in this city.
Wherever the matter was discussed
could be heard the remark:
We'll, that's a great feather in The
Herald cap, at any rate"
The systematic and well-directed
campaign begun by The Herald FIVE
months ago has provoked much COM
ment from time to time, and In spite
Of the obstacles which appeared in the
way the prediction was frequently
made that the project would finally
win.
It was recognized here that any
movement looking toward the improve
ment of the street car service In Los
Angeles would mean better service for
Pasadena.
Many Pasadenans, too, have been
Obliged to keep their eyes on their
watches in Los Angeles for any even
ing entertainment i'm fear that they
might miss the last cars home and be
Obliged to remain in Los Angeles over
night.
It is presumed that the "owl carr
movement will provide one or two
later cars to Pasadena.
For many reasons, therefore, Pasa-
dena rejoices in The Herald's victory.
Coolidge Gratitied
d. w. Coolidge, secretary Of the
Pasadena board Of trade, expressed his
gratitude to The Herald this after
noon for the great fight 1t has put

Chief Pinkham Glad
Chief of Police Pinkham told The
Herald, referring to The Herald's VIC
tory, IT'S great. The Herald deserves
much praise for it's work. 1t has put
up great fight and 1 am glad to see
it win" Charles Grimes, the well
known South Fair oaks boniface, added
his expressions of satisfaction to the
general chorus.

Herald's agitation for owl cars and /

They have never been away long and
the idea Of leaving forever troubles
them.

now in San Francisco and the othef

My other two sons, Herbert and Louis,
have always been here with me.
when they were very little boys /
bought them an engine and they were
experts on steam machinery when they
were very young, They had their little
friends with them and played firemen
and engineers and they made their
first engine house out of some waste
lumber
1.-The two little ones, Louis and Her
bert, worked the engine there until
George, who had grown SO tall that he
could not enter the engine house, cut
out portion of the roof so that he
could stick his head through and super
intend the job.
Natural Inventors
Now Louis is an inventor. When
he was fifteen years old he patented
the Leahy oil burner, an invention for
the saving Of oil fuel on burners, To-
comotives, stationery boilers and
other machinery, and he has been see
ing that burner improve and go on
every locomotive on most of the big
roads of the west.
Louis invented and HerberG put into
practice. They have just perfected an
other invention to go on the market,
just before we leave the old homestead
as examples Of their work in the old
| adobe, which they now use for ma
chine shop.
1.-THE new invention is q spark regu-
lator for gas engines. Experts have
inspected this invention and declared
1t wonderful. I am their mother and
will reserve my prejudiced opinion.
1T Is a device, however, to tell just
where and when a spark in gas
engine is out Of order. In an automo-
bile of four or six cylinders when a
spark gets foul in any of the cylinders
the driver has to get out, take the
machinery to pieces and look 1t over
until he finds In which cylinder the
spark has quit work.

This device, invented by my boy tc

be used all over the world some day
for it makes a gas engine as reliable
as any other, and by a simple twist
OF the wheel the spark can be cleaned
and put in perfect order without even

Gator shows what cylinder is distressed

Capture Insurgent Leader
Dispatches from Santiago announce
that rural guards have surrounded the
town of Songo and have captured Ur-
bano Sanchez, the insurgent leader,
there.
The recruiting of insurgents in San
tiago, the governor of that province as
serts, has proved unsuccessful, and he
adds that he has a military force at his
disposal with which he can quickly
crush any uprising.
1t is rumored here that a number of
insurgents at Baravoa, at the extreme
eastern end Of the province Of Santiago,
have taken up arms.
General Rodriguez, commander of the
Rural Guards, says he does not believe
there are any insurgents in arms in
Santiago de Cuba. He says that troops
were sent simply as a precautionary
measure.

MONDAY HOLIDAYS COMING

There will be no meeting of the city
council Monday afternoon, as 1t is La
Dor day. The regular meeting will be
held on Tuesday afternoon.
The same is true of the following
Monday which will be the holiday to
celebrate Admission day.
AS these two holidays follow each
other so closely the board Of public
works has decided to ask all city en-
ployes that can do so to observe Labor
day, and they will then be given their
choice of working or loafing on Ad-
mission day.
If the employees work on a holiday
they receive time and half. If they
do not work they receive only the one
days pay. Many of them prefer to
work and receive the extra money.

The Beginning of tuberculosis.

A sick woman writes to the secretary
Of state board of health the following
pathetic letter.
"I have been sick since last June.
Two doctors pronounced my case
'chronic bronchitis. One doctor called
it 'malarial fever and another said l
was suffering from malnutrition. All
said that they could cure me. / now
know I had beginning tuberculosis, for
the disease is now upon me, and l
probably must die. I shall make a
brave fight, but I shall never cease to
regret that the physicians did not dis
Germ my trouble in its early stages. Is
there any place in Indianapolis or the
state where 1 could go to be treatedG
I belong to the working class of peo-
Pile, and / can not pay the prices asked
at private sanatoriums.
This is not an uncommon experience.
Failure to name case of consumption
in the early stage is altogether too
common. The term, "stomach cough,
is common one, and there is no such
thing. A persistent cough without a
cause is very suspicious
thing indeed, and physicians should al
ways take warning from such a cough.
When associated with increased heart
action, possibly slight subnormal tenn
perature in the morning and slight fe-
YER in the afternoon, then look out for
tuberculosis.-The Healthy
Home.
