THE WATERFORD SUICIDE.
Edward Collins. Who Cut Ms Throat. Cannot
Recover.

81 Johnsbury, APRIL 2i.-Edward
Collins, an unmarried farmer about
90 years old, living at West Waterford,
attempted suicide late Monday night
by cutting his throat with q razor.
There are two theories regarding Il Q
affair. The first, expressed by q
physician, Is that the man Is violently
insane. The other is that Collins was
jealous OF his housekecper. This wo-
man, who ls unmarried. and about 30
years old, Is said to have come with
him from Canada about seven years
ago. She has two children. Il is
said that another man had been about
the place good deal OF late, a fact
which aroused the dIspleasure OF Col.
Inns.
According 10 the story told by the
woman, Collins came In late Monday
night and getting an AK proceeded to
demollsh oil the furniture, includI 2
new sewing machine. Only the
kitchen range was left. She claims
that he attempted 10 kill her, rushing
at her repeatedly with the AK. He then
went TO the barn and with a knife cut
the harness In bits. He returned 70
the house and cut his throat with a
razor.
The woman put one OF the children
out OF window and notified a neigh.
Dor OF the affair, who, In turn, gave
the alarm 70 others. First Selectman
william Baker was notified and he
called DR. J. NJ. Allen. OF this village,
and nurse. When Mr. Baker arrived
yesterday morning Collins apparently
wished 10 speak but was unable to do
so. When he was given paper and
pencil he wrote. 81 did not mean 10
kill the WOMAN
Collins was brought 70 the hospital
here this afternoon but Is In a critical
condition and probably cannot recov.

cob pipes sweet to the smoker tended to make them shortlived. Many cobs were so porous that air passed through the sides, hastening combustion of the pipes as well as of the tobacco. Tibbe tried closing the pores with glue, putty and other substances until he chanced upon plaster of paris, which worked admirably. Then he patented the per fected "meerschaum."
 As there had never been any whole sale demand for corn cobs, the newly established pipe factory soon exhaust ed the available supply, and the manu- facture of pipes came to standstill. Believing the industry would grow rap idly if he could procure the right sort of material the inventor determined to search the country over for it. The quality of cobs In the vicinity of the pipe factory had not been satisfactory, as agricultural experiments had been toward increasing the size of the grain and diminishing the size of the cob. Tibbe wanted large cobs. He had no interest In the grain.
 In his efforts to find the most satis- tour of the Southern States, finally re- turning home In triumph. He had dis covered grade of corn, despised by intelligent farmers, that ran to cob in its development. He procured 6 quantity of seed. made contracts with farmers to plant 1t, and at the end of the following season had ample mate rial from the Mississippi and Arkansas swamps, also for use in the factory.
 The stems for the pipes, made of reeds were easily procurable. They grew rank over thousands of acres of waste land.
 Protected by hIs patent, Tlbbe and one or two associates enjoyed for sev- enteen years a monopoly in the manu- facture of cob pipes. In that time the industry grew rapidly and netted the owners substantial fortunes. The orig inal design for the pipes was elabor- ated upon, and there were added many fancy shapes. including cigar and ci- garette holders.
 With the expiration of the patent right, competition sprang up in the It. tie town of Washington. There are five factories there now, all prospering through the ever growing demand for the homely cob.
 The merits of the Missouri meer- schaum' are now universally appre- ciated, and all sorts and conditions of people enjoy It's soothing companion ship. Even the hard-headed Briton. welded to his stocky briar, has come to enjoy smoke from the American corn field product.

family relations must have produced a morbidness and sensitiveness in the boy.
 During his boyhood ne did not have to combat against acute poverty, but just as he came to the threshold of manhood the West Indian property was swept away by one of the most deyas- tating hurricanes the islands had ever suffered Hamilton had intended con- ing to college, but all prospects of It seemed to have departed.
 With the same determination that al- ways characterized him he set about building up his affairs so that he might attain the cherished object of his hopes. He worked with an energy that was en- ti"ely foreign to the climate In which his work had to be done. And he sue ceeded so we'll that he was able to enter Kings College In New York In a very much shorter time than he had arranged for at first.
 The beginning of the Revolutionary War found Hamilton struggling still with his work. That he gave up his personal ambitions to serve the cause Of freedom Is proof of the same great. ness that won for him the praise his fame has deserved.
