A pathetic story Of child's heroism
10 told by Dublin gentleman. Re-
Gently he proposed to drive with his
wife to the beautiful Glasnevin Gene

to get ready to accompany them. The
child's countenance fell and the father
said:

answered, Yes, papa. II you wish"
The child was strangely silent dur
ing the drive, and when the carriage
drove up to the entrance he chung to
his mothers side and looked up in
her face with pathetic usefulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
Swallowed avenues, looking at the in
scriptions on the last resting-places of
the dwellers In the beautiful city Of
the dead. After an hour or so thus
spent, they returned to the carriage.

The Gold in the Ruby Glass.

Genuine ruby glass is expensive be-
oause It is prepared with gold It
owes its color to the presence
throughout It's mass OF particles OF
gold TOO small to be seen with the

Only the ultramicroscope, which
renders visible objects perceptible by

able to show the existence Of these
minute particles. With the ordinary
microscope the glass appears as a uni

cate the presence of the particles Of

We doubt if any set of people look
forward to Thanksgiving with more
delight than the orphans. They know
full well on that day they will be in
many hearts; and that the prayers OF
the people who love little children
will be made for them.
At the Thornwell Orphanage, Clin-
ton, South Carolina, there are 25O
orphans. Of these $50 are from the
State of South Carolina, 60 from
Georgia and 21 from Florida, the rest
from other states. Children from
any section of our country, however,
are welcome, provided they are faith
erless, of tender years and in need
of aid. Once received they are not
dismissed, except at their own re-
quest, but are educated thoroughly,
are taught some good trade and sent
out able to take care Of themselves
without further protection from the
institution.
Their support comes from all parts
of the country. Provisions, mone,
and anything that can be used in the
ordinary home can be used here at
the lhornwell Orphanage.
The Institution itself is on the
cottage system. There are Is cot
tages, with six public buildings for
mental, moral, manual and technical
training. And it continues to grow
as new cottages can be erected.

Haas Commits Suicide.

San Francisco, November IL
Maurice Haas, who yesterday at
TEMPTED to assassinate Francis j.
Heney, tonight committed suicide by
shooting himself through the middle
of the forehead with a pistol he had
concealed about his person. Haas
went to bed at 8 o'clock at the county
iail, and covered his face with a
blanket. At $40 a shot was heard
from his cell, and when the guards
entered it was found that he had roll
ed out of his bed and was lying dead
on the floor with bullet hole in his
forehead.
A 41-caliber single-shot derringer
was grasped in his hand. His left
trouser leg was pulled up, and exam
ination showed a mark on his leg
where the weapon had rested while
concealed in his shoe. Haas wore
garters, with elastic sides, which
made this possible.
After he shot Heney yesterday,
Haas was searched by Police Captain
Duke, Detective Burns and a police
officer. After he had been taken to
the county jail he was searched again,
but at neither time were his shoes
examined. Haas went to bed last
night with his shoes on and again to-
night, and when asked why he did
this, said that he would rather sleep
with them on.
His wife called on him to-day, but
officers were present during their In
terview, and they say she could not
possibly have slipped the weapon to
him.
