THIRD ATTEMPT To
COMMIT SUICIDE

After having been twice declared
sane by DR.. Emerson, the police surgeon
and the brain-storm expert of the
county, in examinations following two
attempts TO commit suicide. Lum Chun
cut his throat yesterday afternoon and
IS IN a dangerous condition at the
Queens 5 hospital. Once the man was
arrested for an attempt TO commit sui-
eide by drowning, being fshed ont OF
the Nuuanu stream His next attempt
was with a rope, although he had not
arrived at the stranguiation stage when
gathered in BY the police, being booked
nrst as an insane suspect and later as
a vag, appearing before Judge Whitner
on this last charge and getting a jaH
sentence Of eleven DAYS. de was re

It by severing his windpipe with a
razor in his third attempt to shuttle Of

Gas for Power Purposes.

From the Engineering Magazine
ANY perfection attained in the construc-
ton of gas engines. and even the utmost
Ingenuity applied to methods for assuring
their regular operation, would have no
practical interest If it were not possible
to supply them cheaply with power gas.
This consideration eliminates at the out
set city gas and petrol spirit for any In
dustrial installations exceeding 10 to "
horsepower and operating continuously
The solution of the problem has Deeh
found for the rnetallurgical industry by the
utilization of blast-furnace gas, and else
where by the introduction of gas producers
These are divided into two general cafe
gories-pressure and suction. OF these the
former are the more complicated Ihey re-

tain a reserve supply of gas and OF steam

Collapse in Philadelphia.

Collapse in Philadelphia.
The fatal collapse recently Of the Bridge
man building in Philadelphia. while it was
under construction, again concentrates pop
ular attention upon the methods in vogue
in reinforced concrete building. That COL
lapse was one of a too long list OF similar
and often fatal collapses Of concrete struc-
lures in the past year. The Engineering
News. the leading engineering journal Of
the country, editorally comments thus:
'Carelessness, incompetence and unscrupu-
lous sknning appear to have about reached
the limit in reinforced concrete construc-
ton. Two failures of large buildings UNI
der construction, occurring within a fort
night Of each other, both of which had their
harvest OF dead, are serious blemishes on
the record Of reinforced concrete. A radl-
cal reform Is imperative. The gray of
our concrete structures is already too much
stained with blood. Shall we allow that
stain to spread and grow still darker?"
The International Society of Building In
spectors. recognizing the popularity of that
construction and its theoretical advantages,
nevertheless warns people to only intrust
that class Of work to the most skilful
hands, and it is making every possible en-
deavor to have our cities appoint spe-
cial inspectors of concrete and to other
wise provide ample protection to the people
from the effects of the too indiscrminate
and unskilled use of the most hazardous and
problematic mode Of construction in vogue

expressed his appreciation of the good cheer
he found at the Crawford House. William
Cullen Bryant came few years later, put
In different mood. He criticised the no.
tells and the guides and the facilities for the
entertainment Of visitors. In 1896 man
of the name of Tanner described this re-
gion in book called 1.-THE American Trav-
eler,' and he speaks as II several persons
had made the ascent Of Mount Washington
He says 1t is an arduous task and can be
performed only by men OF great strength
and endurance. This book was written four
years before Abel Crawford claims to have
reached the summit and 1t Is probable that
he refers to a trail running part way to the
top to some point that commanded view
of the surrounding ranges.
Hotel Built in 1874.
The first hotel of any pretensions in the
White mountains was built at Bethlehem
in 1914. In 1S47 railroad was completed
to Greenfield and the rest of the journey
was made In stages Carriage roads were
built about that time to various points Of
interest and the hotels began to spring up
as they were needed. The Grand Trunk
was built through in 1850 from Portland to
Montreal, skirting the northern slopes of
the hills, but 1t was not until 1879 that rails
were laid from the south.
Feeding and caring for summer boarders
is now the chief industry in this part Of
New Hampshire and according to CEN
sus made by Gov. Batchelder of the state
board of agriculture, about 1I5,OOO guests
We're entertained here last year. who spent
upward of S5.OOO,OOO for hotel bills and
$75OOOO for railroad and stage fares
There are altogether fifteen large hotels,
at each of which 800 or more guests can be
accommodates there are between forty
and fifty hotels at which maximum OF
100 guests can be accommodated, and sew
eral hundred smaller hotels and boarding
houses accommodating froms ten to fifty
guests while summer company is enter
tanned at nearly every farmhouse in the
northern part of the state at prices as
low as S. and averaging about $3.50 per

day and $3.50 a week. The large and fash
ionable houses charge from $3.50 upward,
al high as any one wants to pay.
The largest hotel is the New Mount

accommodate 200 people. 1t is the largest
in New England. with the exception of one
at Poland Springs, and Is the most ex-

American Mechanic OF tho Future.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Our ultimate and permanent dependence
for skilled labor is In the American boy.
This is a fact which l have emphasized
in many addresses and in many con-
nections We must attach a manual train
ing department to all our public schools
Of the primary grade, in which boys Of
nine or ten years of age and upward, under
competent instructors, can give an hour
each day to the use of the tools employed
in the more important mechanical trades.
This instruction must be free and should
be compulsory. We must have industrial
high schools also free, into which boys of
fourteen or fifteen who have taken the
course in the primary schools may enter
for advanced and practical instruction,
and from which they can be graduated as
thorough mechanics. The object of this
manual training in the public schools is to
supply the need created by the labor
unions virtual abolition of the apprentice
ship system. and to supply 1t in the best
possible way and with the best possible
material. All the influence of the fedora
ton must be used to equip our American
boys with a thorough industrial training.

BALLOON ELECTRIC LIGHTED
EXPERIENCE OF AERONAUT IN
THE THUNDER CLOUDS.
His Drag Rope Joined Two Clouds and
Gas Bag Shone Like
Great Sun.

NEW YORK, August 1O.-Allen R. Haw-
ley, director of the Aero Club of America
and an aeronaut who has done and seen
things arrived yesterday by the White
Star liner Adriatic with a story of a vivid
experience between storm clouds in night
ascension near Paris in July. The drag
rope of his big balloon was trailing in one
cloud while the great silken sphere was IN
Volved in another.
Incandescent Drag Rope.
The drag rope became incandescent, re-
sembling a hawser woven of flame towing
the lower cloud. St. Elmos globeless cleo
trio lamps bloomed on every rope end. The
glowing city below was invisible through
the electric drapery. Whenever Mr.. Haw-
ley touched any part Of the gear of the bal
loon he received shock. His mustache
once bristled luminous as If 1t were made
Of flaments of incandescent lights. The
atmosphere around the balloon, which re-
sembled a miniature sun, was brighter than
the light of noon on summer day All
the meteorological instruments could be
read without effort.
The storm was soon over, or rather the
balloon was soon over the storm. The
Paris papers discussed the phenomenon,
some saying that it would add to the
that other night ascensions under storm
conditions ought to be made for the benefit
of science.
The Wright Brothers.
Mr. Hawley seemed to regret that the
French government had secured the serV-
ices of the Wright brothers, inventors or
an aeropane airship. He said that the
Wrights had the confidence of the french,
and that according to information that had
reached him from an authoritative source,
,bay were doing stunts. They were looking
for a secluded place in which to carry on
eyneriments with perfected machine.
Mr.. Hawley has won prizes in balloon
races. and is here to complete arrangement:
for the contest for an international cup at
st. Louis in October. He says that Lieut..
Lain, winner of the international race on
the other side, who has been Ill, has recov-
cred and will doubtless be at St. Louis to
contest as an American for the glory OF
keeping the aerial record.

AWARD TO LOCAL FIRM.
Frank P. Milburn & Co. Draw Plans
for Courthouse.

Frank p. Milburn & Co., local architects,
have been awarded first place in the COM
petition for the $4,000 courthouse to be
erected at Salisbury, N. c. The structure
will be the courthouse for Rowan county.
Contracts for the construction Of the build
ing will be let at an early date, and work
will be started Immediately after the
awards.
The courthouse will be classic In design.
and will be constructed Of pressed brick,
with a granite base. 1t Is possible that the
plans will be changed SO far as to permit
the erection of an entire granite building.
If this is the case the cost of the building
will be nearly doubled. Frank p. Milburn
& Co. have made the plans for many OF
the handsome public buildings in the south
Atlantic states in recent years. At present
there is building boom in Salisbury, where
twenty -one large buildings are In course Of
construction.
