Dr. Richard B. Mcclure of Bethany.
 Dr. Richard B. Mcclure of Bethany, whose death was announced yesterday, committed suicide, evidently in a fit of insanity, In Centerville Wednesday, by cutting the arteries of both wrists with the thin, keen tblade of a surgeons s scapel. He then lay down on the rail- road embankment and bled to death. Beside him were found his case con- tainlng his surgeons kit with the scal- pei in it, showing that he had deliber- ately replaced the tool with which he killed himself

An examination showed that he had I about $75 in cash. which was sewed up in bag in the lining of his trousers. Among his effects also 1t was shown that he had $500 deposited in local banks.

In the letter addressed to his sister, Dr. Mcclure stated that he was man of ability and that he was not appreciated, He was very much depressed in spirits, he said, and he had no desire to five any longer. Medical Examiner Joslin took charge of all the effects and sent them to Dr. McClure's sister.
 In Bethany 1t was stated yesterday that, Dr. Mcclure had been in i'll health for long time, and was proabbly in- sane.
 He was widely known in Woodbridge and Bethany. About year and a half ago he was committed to the Connecti- cut Hospital for the Insane by his rela- tives, but he seemed to have recovered and had been out of the hospital for about six months. Since then he has been making his home with his broth CT, William, in this city

The concerts by the Second Regiment band every afternoon and evening are becoming a great fad among New Ha- ven people who are making up White City parties to entertain their guests.

CInss Poem.

The years so full of happiness
 Are swiftly passing by, Till here tonight we've gathered
 To bid our school goodbye. Yet pause a moment ere we go.
 A tear is in each eye. When we remember we're to leave
 Dear Old New Haven High. These halls in which our footsteps
 tread Will echo still when we are gone With other steps resound. The castles in the air we've built
 May crumble and decay The bubbles which in joy we've blown May burst and fade away. But neither disappointed hopes,
 Nor fortunes welcome cry. Can banish from our hearts the love
 For Old New Haven High. The Friendships we will never break,
 Those found within thy halls The lessons we will try to keep
 Those taught within thy walls. For tho tonight our paths must part And severed be our ways Fond memory ever will bring back
 Those joyous High School days. A picture I would show to you,
 It is a little brook. Which rippled on in care-free bliss,
 Heedless what course it took; And all unconscious of 1t,
 Twas destined to fulfil Some designated purpose
 As on it flowed, until Ger rocks and stones it bubbled,
 And chattered on it's way, And joining with other brooklets,
 h ffNr s,R.a .,l,A On, ever onward, glides that stream,
 And ever wider grows,
 Until beneath the sparkling sun,
 A mighty river flows. The river rushes onward,
 Past woods and meadows green,
 In sunshine and in shadow,
 It always can be seen. Still on it goes in rapture, Roaring and rushing, till On it madly plunges Into the seething sound, Now it has reached the ocean,
 And but one tourney more, In mighty waves the roaring tide
 Makes for the other shore. Now, in this tiny broolet,
 As to the stream it flows.
 And from the stream river
 Merrily onward goes. We all can see, dear classmates,
 A semblanceof our lives, The bubbling brooks of childhood
 Which only for joy strives. And then our Grammar School days, Are they not like the stream2 While the swiftly rushing river, Like High School days may seem. And now those days are over,
 Those happy High School days. And we stand wrapped in silence At the parting of the ways. We look into the ocean,
 There lie our futures bright, And now the waves are urging us To plunge right in-to-night. Some mount the waves of shadow,
 Others of sunshine gay, Some mount the whirling white cans Which break far. far away. l see a comrade mounted

The White City this week is the amusement Mecca of the state. With the Igorrote Village and Leon Morris noted group of ponies, bears and mon- keys, 1t has attractions that cannot be excelled anywhere in the country.

DOCTOR GOESTO JAIL FOR HIS DOG
,scripps News association

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 90.
Rather than allow a pet dog to
be shot DR.. Jos. A. Horigan, a
prominent physician and candidate
for the democratic nomination for
congress from this district, spent
three hours in the city Jail.
The animal, a water spaniel, bit
the year old daughter of neigh
Dor of the doctors. The defendant
said the child had jumped on the
dogs tail to see what the animal
would do. DR.. Horigan's plea was
that the parents of the girl are
Christian Scientists, and as such
could not consistently admit that
she had been hurt.
The father testified in court that
the wound had been treated with
caustic, while the mother said
nothing but water had been used
In reply to Police Judge Kyle's
question as to where the dog was,
DR.. Horigan said it was in the city,
but refused to state where. He al
so refused to shoot the animal. At
this point Judge Kyle sentenced
the doctor to Jail for contempt.
