 | MINfR'S SUICIDE
We'll Known Prospector Sash eS His Arms with Razor
 and BIeedS to Death,

Tucson, May 10.-Despondent over his long illness and despairing of re- covering his health. c. M. Rice, one of the oldest and best known miners in this country, coE.lnltted suicide at St. Mary's hospital late last night by cutting the arteries in his left and his right arm just below the elbow
 The weapon used was a razor and the unfortunate maa made his work doubly sure by cutting both arms Death came within an hour after lhe wounds had been inflicted and was due to exhaustion from loss of blood
 There was perhaps in the entire county no better known miner than MT. Rice. In the early days he was the mountains in this county looking for the hidden metals.
 He located at HeRetia and was a resident of that camp almost from its beginning. He was about 60 years old and Is said to have some relatives iv- ing in the east
 There Is little doubt but that the unfortunate man had contemplated suicide for several days. He called Justice o. r. Richey to the hospital a few days ago to arrange some pa pers relating to inning claims own- ed by him, but at that time he gave no intimatton that he would end his life.
 Yesterday ne remarked, however, that the coming night would be his last, but little attention was paid to his words. as 1t was supposed that he was laboring under the impression that he might suddenly de owing to hIs heart afflictiop.
 Early this morning a man who oe- cupied the same room with Rice heard him grooming and was mortified on awakening to find him lying in his bed in a pool of blood and bleding from the wounds in his arms. Assist, ance was hastily summoned and ev- erything was done to aid the unfortu- nate man but he vas beyond humanu assistance
 Rice had suffered severely for some time from heart trouble and dropsy.

Prescott, May I0.-It now appears that the Phoenix woman, Nellie Cum mins. whose real name Is Trilhs Blessing. wno created a short lived sensation by smearing her room with a crimson fluid in an attempt to work on the sympathies of those who be- friended her before discovering her real character, has skipped the town leaving her board bill unpaid. The woman Is q really clever adventures. She arrived here a week ago Sunday on the excursion. Becoming ostensi- ply i'll at the depot, she won the sym pathy of few by islanders who had her removed to the Prescott hotel. where her room rent was paid for by them.
 Later shc was sent to the hospital and her expenses guaranted. After being discharged from the hospital she was sent to the Wilson hotel and her room rent there guaranteed for a week by the same good Samaritans. Before the week was up, however, those who had asslste her discovered the womaa's true character. Seeing at she could nol longer deceive her ha" ,"und friends the woman arrang-

New Years Day.

New Years Day! the birthday of another
year;
What it has in store, is known not tc
fool nor seer,
To-day now casting on its journey plea
sure and pain.
Reveals no secrets Of t0-mOrrUw's COM
ing train,
Fires. earthquakes. foods, hurricane but
a day behind,
To those Of woe. to day is wholly blind
Who would change natures laws by God
ordained
For our good. for knowledge. harmful if
obtainedP
Withhold from us SORROWS which the fu-
ture is to givep
With those of the present we can scarce
ly live,
Pleasures train so seldom drops a joy at
our door,
I'VE crave not its coming. nor the hour
implOre.
What is it that prompts as to welcome
with delight
The new born year, when the last left
ills in its flight?
Hope, the balm to bruised and bleeding
hearts,
Is eager to receive the new as the old de.
parts.
The reaper, Death. ALWAYS busy, but who
can presage
His coming? though, We know he spares
not youth nor age.
New Year! What joys. sOrr0ws, hopes,
fears within your womb.
None can place them, until you are In
your tomb,
Then your allotted race being fully run,
We shall hear rejOicings that your work
is done.
This is the fate of many, made proud BY
mans applause,
Must submit when shorn of power by
Gods laws.
We are not unmindful of the joys you
bring.
But even they, often contain dreaded
sting,
While you behold anguish, the dying and
the dead,
You will see brides by grooms from the
altar led,
You h"ar coOings and laughter in the
nuptial bed.
But what do you hear when that infant
soul has fed?
Loud sobs bathed in tears which reason
cannot still;
Must await healing time, according to
GOPs will,
Those two unhappy hearts, lately by
union bl est,
Are now writing in agony and distress.
For every moment of pleasure we gain,
Providence demands two of
pain,
New Year! milestone marking our Jour-
rey to the grave.
Whittier all are marching, none with
power to save,
The road with thorns and pitfalls hidden
from our sight,
All must travel, though walking In dark
ness of night,
Some escape with but scratches, that do
US 10 harm,
others fall victims to tOrmenting alarm.
We walk on, obliviOus of dangers ahead,
Taking no warning from wrecks afore-
said,
All start on their journey, both the low
and the great
Jrying. as if fearful Of an unhappy fate,
AL sent here without choice, none will
gainsay;
some fall early, some late. all suffer on
the way.
Ne are here, for 1t no one Is to blame,
4 We sometimes murmur. don't chide us,
in Gods name,
Teach US to endure. to forget. to forgive
Wrongs dOns us-make US ft with An-
gels to live.
