KING OF MILAN'S SON
TRIES TO SLAY SELF


LONDON, Sept 10.-A message from
Constantinople says that George Chris
itch, the natural but legitimized son
of the king of Milan, attempted sui
eide while visiting Prinkipo island, in
the sea of Marmora.
He recently applied for admission
into the Thererianum in Vienna, and
for the purpose asked for medical
certificate from the Austro-H Hungarian
embassy at Constantinople. His fam
lily wished that the certificate be made
out in the name of George Obrenovich,
the latter the family name of the king
of Milan, but the embassy physician
declined on the ground that he had no
knowledge of any such individual.
The refusal exasperated the young
man, who is of highly nervous tenn
permanent, and he determined to end
his life by taking a dose of arsenic.
His purpose was discovered in time to
apply remedies, and he is said to be
out of danger.

NEW GAME BIRDS
TO BE IMPORTED
Commissioners Place Order for Five
Hundred Pairs of Hungarian
Grouse-WiII Propa-
gate Rapidly

The huntsmen of California are soon to
have another game bird added to their
list.
The state board of fish and game COM
missioners will at once proceed to stock
the hunting regions of the state with
Hungarian grouse.
An order for 500 pairs has already been
placed with the importer at Philadelphia,
and it is expected that the birds will be
shipped at the earliest possible moment.
The birds are imported from Hungary,
where they are principal game bird of
that country.
Data collected by the commissioners
shows that the bird has been success
fully introduced in some of the eastern
states. and is as 1ourishing as in its
native land The birds cost So pair,
therefore the task of stocking the state
will prove an expensive one, but not more
so than the work justifies.
Birds Multiply Rapidly
The birds will propagate rapidly, being
as prolific as the quail family, and it is
expected that If protected few years
they will become so numerous that reg
ular open season can be established.
The state has a game law protecting
grouse which, with the sage hen, cannot
be legally hunted until May /, 1909. 1t is
expected that at the next meeting OF
the legislature this will be so amended
also to extend the closed season for sew
eral years more, to give the new game
bird ample time to multiply
The hunters license law has so far
placed with the commissioners fund
amounting to $4,000. and it is estimated
that fully 100000 will be at the disposal
of the commission before the rush is
ended, and San Bernardino leads the
state with the largest percentage, the
way this county has popularized the law
being q source of surprise to the board
of commissioners

FEAR OF TABLES FRIGHTENS

Thoughtiess Neighbors Had Told Her
Again and Again of the Hor-

NEW YORK Sept. 10.-One hour
after she was carried into the German
hospital Mrs. Jeanette Snyder. mid
dle-aged woman of Long Island City
died in convulsions yesterday after
noon She believed and her husband
believed and all the neighbors believed
that she had hydrophobia. The sur
geons in the hospital at Park avenue
and Seventy y-sixth street say she was
literally scared to death
six weeks ago the pet dog of a fam
lily living next door got into the snyder
home and began to chase Mrs. Snyder
hens Mrs. Snyder went out to run the
dog back where he belonged She
struck at him with a broom and he
jumped at her and bit her on one or
her legs Then he scuttled away.
At first Mrs. Snyder thought nothing
of the wound which was trifiing and
no more than a scratch of the skin.
Neighbors DiIate
Mrs. Snyder made the fatal error OF
telling some of her neighbors about 1t.
They promptly jumped at the conclu-
sion that she had the preliminary
symptoms of rabies, and they did not
hesitate to tell her so. Some of them
it seemed, spent many pleasant hours
painting vivid word pictures for hei
of the horrors of hydrophobia. 1t II
not hard TO imagine the results of this
sort of thing upon the mind of a cred
uIous woman, who was naturally in
l cIined to hysteria.
Toward the last a misguided bu'
sympathetic friend had only to describe
in her hearing a manifestation of the
disease of rabies In an hour Mrs
Snyder would be reproducing 1t. She
suffered from spasms and froth issued
from between her lips.
Yesterday she broke down altogether
To her husband, Andrew, she said
s'For Gods sake, get me to a hospital
I know that mad dog bit me ano
that am going mad"
Snyder hurried the woman across the
+, river to Manhattan. The wife was per
fectly lucid when she entered the hos
pital. She described her condition tc
The physicians. After a preliminary
examination DIR. Karbad, the head sur
geon, decided that there were no indi'
cations OF rabies. He called a consul

In the midst of the consultation tn
