FAILED BROKER
DRINKS POISON
AND MAY DIE

Despondent over the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings through which he was obliged
to 20 last fall after the crash OF his brok-
erage business. with liabilities OF between
$4,000 and 10000. In Boston. Horace l..
Averill. 80 years old. whose home is at
Cambrdgeport Mass. took bichloride OF
mercury. with suicidal intent. at his iodg-
ngs here yesterday afternoon.
DIR. George A. Averill. who came 10
this city last night. says that Horace Av-
erill, went into the brokerage business at
10 Congress street. Boston. several years
ago. The crash last year swept away all
OF his money and caused him to become
respondent. Though he obtained employ
ment as canvasser for the Stoddard Lee
lures in book form. he was not satisfied
with this line OF business, and, In addi-
tion considered his financial wrecking In
Boston as disgrace TO him.
DR. Averill. who remained at his
brothers bedside all last night, said that
Horace had told him after his arrival
there that the taking OF the bichloride
OF mercury had been for the purpose OF
ending life which had become unbear-
able.
The man had been canvassing in this
city for about a month and during this
time lad been living at the Lyman, 30

erlll lying In semi-conscious state. he
called DR.. Franklin 8. Jewett who. after
doing what he could TO counteract the
effects of the poison. called an ambulance

DR. 1ewett is of the opinion that Averill
had been drinking TO some extent.

TeTheatres

The whole town is talking about the
splendid performance OF "A Lady OF Quail
ity," which the Albee Stock company is
giving at Keths this week. To say that
last weeks fine impression is strength
ened by the Albee company's performance
this week would be putting IL mildly. 1t
would not be exaggeration TO say that tho
performance compares very favorably
with the very fine production given by
Julia Arthur some eight or 10 years ago.
In some respects It's better. While there
are several genuine individual hits, Il Is
the excellence OF the production In Its en-
tirety. and the remarkably clever man.
ner In which even the smallest part Is
played. that Is Its most pleasurable feat
ure II is almost incredible that group
of players could give such finished per-
formance of such a strong dramatic Of
fering as this with such few rehearsals
as the Albee company has. II Is surely
a splendid proof OF the individual strength
OF the company and t4e remarkably emil
cient stage direction II has.
OF course. the chief honor fall to Adele
Block, who realizes the title role as III IL
had been written for her and Ahe had
been given an excellent ft. 1t Is trying
role, running from ono emotion TO the
other with quick transmission and re-
auiring extraordinary fexibility. She is
such a charming figure In the first act in
her boys costume, when lighting the duel
and daring Sir John TO melt or break her
heart IL he can, that one almost hates 10
see her change TO her quaint tuck-up. But
the real test OF Miss Blocks dramatic
strength Is I'm the fourth act, when she
deals sir John the blow that kills him. II
is n wonderfully impressive piece OF act
ing that she does at that point-played
in exactly the right intense key and her
facial expression at that point is indeed
potent. Truly. IN Miss Block the Albee
company has leading woman worthy OF
the position.
Quite sharing tho honors with Miss
Block is Robert Cummings, who plays
Sir John oxen excellently. This sterling
actor catches the atmosphere OF the play
wonderfully well and portrays Sir Johns
deviltry In very human manner. IL Is
one OF those performances that beggar
adjectives. ut when seen rings such un-
mistakable appreciation that everyone
leaves the theatre. at the end Of the per-
formance, talking about it.
IL Is by no means the big parts alone
that score hits. Dennis Harris is In but
one act yet makes one OF the genuine
successes OF the evening as the young
secretary whose tongue grows loose after
being washed with wine 'of goodiy
vintage" His speech In praise OF the
hoyden Clorinda, whom he came to scol1
but remained 20 admire is one Of the best
things OF the evening. Leah winslow also
makes n small role stand out conspicu-
ously by her cleverness as the. somewhat
''catty" friend CD OF Clorinda-

SENATE PASSES
THREE BILLS OVER
G0VERA0R's Veto

Hartford Conn, June 6.-The senate
yesterday passed In concurrence three
bills Incorporating trolley roads in the
state which Gov. Woodruff had returned
without approval and each with a veto
message. One of the bills. that incor-
porating the Bridgeport and Danbury rail-
way. was amended so that it's capital
stock was cut down. but the other two
were unchanged. The governors objec-
tions to all three bills were overcapitali-
zation. the lack of a provision that a
part OF the capital stock should be paid
in cash. and the giving of right OF emf
nent domain.
While the senate was debating on the
question of passage over the veto. a veto
and message on the bill amending the
charter of the Lebanon Street Railway
company was read In the house. The gov
ernor again objected to the wide powers
given the company under It's charter.
The house after vigorously attacking
the governors recommendation that a
commission be appointed TO investigate
the agricultural interests OF the state and
the matter of removal OF the Storr Agri-
cultural college to a more central loca-
tion, suddenly changed Its attitude and
passed the resolution, embodying to- gov
ernor's ideas, which majority OF the
agricultural committee had reported
against. The commission Is headed by j.
II. Hale OF Glastonbury, the largest peach
grower In the state. and four members
OF the general assembly.
The senate refused to repeal the COM
pulsory vaccination law and the house
amended, and passed the hunters license
law and the so-called bucket shop" bill.

KING and QUEEN
To VISIT IRELAND
EARLY IN JULY

London, June 6.-Coming on the
heels of the widely published stories
OF disaffeotion in certain districts of
Ireland, alleged to be more serious
than In any period OF the past 20 years
and provoking debates in both houses
OF parliament, the sudden official an
nouncement was made last night that
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
will visit Ireland early in July. The
news has caused great surprise.
The king and queen will cross in
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert
and remain several days. Their So
journ will be marked by full state
pomp and ceremony.
The king having intimated that he
would like to visit a race meeting, the
stewards of the Irish Turf club have
been requested to arrange a special
fixture for July IL at Leopardstown,
the beautiful course overlooking the
sea near Dublin. IL Is understood that
the king will present two cups on that
occasion.
1t is significant that the kings visits
to ireland are invariably made during
times OF alleged disaffection. He is,
however. always received with the
greatest enthusiasm.

 Boise, Idaho, June 13.-Former Gov ernor Peabody and Harry Orchard met face to face in the office of Judge Hawley few minutes after the recess was taken at noon.

 Orchard recognized him at once. As MT. Peabody approached the man who hunted him for a year seeking an op- portunity to kill him, Orchards face changed. He shrank back and tremb- led. The former governor smilingly held out his hand saying:
 How are you Orchard?'
 Orchard broke down completely. He said:
 T am ashamed to look at you sir, I am ashamed to speak to you" The governor reassured him in a few words and Orchard replied:
 "I am thankful that I did not kill you and am spared the thought of that crime.'

JEWS ARE ASSAuED
CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA ARE RE-
 PORTED DESPERATE.
False Declaration of Governor Precipi- tates the Outbreak of the Black Hundreds Against Semitic
 Population of Odessa.

Berlin, June 13.-Private dispatches from Odessa report that the case of the local Jews is as desperate as 1t was before the latest massacre. The black hundred are assailing the Jews in the streets hourly. Many are wounded and the hospitals are crowd ed.
 The recrudescence of the violent anti-semitism is attributed to the gov ernor, General Glagolow, who officially declares that a Christian named Meep- nikoff, who was ostensibly attacked by Jews, was tortured and scalped. Meep- nikoff is known to have denied that his assallants were Jews and exami nation of his head reveals that he was not scalped, but his hair was simply shaved off in spots. Jewish leaders at Odessa are convinced that the govern ment trumped the story to incite the populace anew against the Jews.
