New Brunswick, n. j., Feb. ID
The congregation of the First Methodist
Church was shocked last night TO learn
that Mrs. Robert M. Glare, the 62-year.
old wife of wealthy retired New York
leather merchant, had committed sui
eide by hsnginy herself from beam in
the attic of their home at IA Llyings-

roltenyile, friend who had come to
nurse her, and who wss alarmed at her
failure to answer repeated calls. Mrs.
Glare had been in i'll health for some

steamer DevOnian, Captain Ridley, from
Liverpool, February 8, for this port,
with Tour passengers, eleven cattlemen

miles of her course, and struck in a
thick snow storm, and gale about 1870
O. clock. As the tide receded this morn
ing it left the liner almost high and dry

lions were that it would be necessary to
remove "A portion of her cargo in order to

THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. Is, 1906

The ship subsidy bill was passed 10
the Senate by vote Of 3S TO q, five
republicans voting with the democrats
in opposition. The bill now goes to
he House where il is hoped it will be
defeated, but there are grave fears that
il will not be. The Philadelphia Rec
ord, in speaking of the bill, says
The passage of the ship subsidy bill
over an opposition Of only q votes III
the Senate was q foregone conclusion.
One reason for the success OF the measure
is that the scheme in its latest edition Is
not deemed capable of doing much harm
during its comparatively brief operation.
In thip. however, lies one OF Its greatest
dangers. As with tariff experience, the
bene6ciaries of subsidy will grow more
and more exorbitant in their demands
for protection. The fifty millions or so
dispensed by the government will only
whet their appetite, and they will hold
I'D their ladies at every session of Con-
gress for a fresh supply Of public soup.
This subsidy apparently is to last for
only ten years. But its actual dura-
ton will be for twice that period
Ships built in 1916 would receive the
government bounty fer ten years, and
thus the operation would go on until
1926. At the end of that time 1t would
90 hard il the subsidy mongers should
not obtain an extension for another
twenty years. This is evidently their
calculation

that in committee of the whole, consid-
Grafton be given to the bill authorizing

THE reports given out in Washington
Of threatened uprisings in China" are
very contradictory and are received not
only with doubt but cause considerable
suspicion. For years it has been the
desire of the European powers to dis
member China and divide that vast
empire among themselves and the send
ing OF United States troops and ships to
that country at this time arouses the
suspicion that the powers will goad
China to some act which they can con-
slrue into hostile demonstration when
they will all combine and divide China,
and that the United States will be on
the scene in order 10 get share OF the
swag. This country has no business in
China and should keep out Of foreign
