TO SUICIDE
SAYS REPORT FROM SNOHOMISH,
BUT NOTHING IS KNOWN OF
THE MATTER IN WENATCHEE.

An article in the Snohomish Daily
Tribune of yesterday says:
A victim of remorse as a result Of
his own criminal actions, neglect OF
family and bad habits, Charles Mon
tross of this city now lies in the hos
pital of Wenatchee at deaths door, as
result of a dose of piOsOn taken
yesterday to end his miserable career.
After his attempted theft of suit
case at the Great Northern depot last
Friday night and the consequent ex-
posture of his desertion of three small
children Montross disappeared sud-
denly from SnOhomish and no trace
of his whereabout could be had. Yes
teriay he showed up in Wenatchee
where he had friends and acquaint-
ances and told them of his intended
suicide.
He was watched carefully and was
seen to take vial from his pocket
and swallow the contents. On see-
ing the action a number of Wenat-
chez citizens grabbed him and hurried
him to the hospital where he was Civ
en- treatment. Just what the nature
of the poison which he took was Is
not known, but that it was OF a viru-
lent character is shown by the fact
that it took several hours to bring
him back to consciousness.
Late reports state that he is out OF
danger but very low, and whether he
will survive his attempt at self-de-
struction is a question of time and at
| ten dance.

BIG ROCKEFELLER GIFT.
$4,000 Toward Endowing Baptist
University at Richmond.


NEW YORK. August 31.-As the first
step toward endowing a great Baptis,
university IN the south, as he has already
done In the case Of the Chicago University
In the north. John d. Rockefeller, through
the general education board of this city
has offered Richmond College, Richmond
Va. $1oO.0OO on condition that the Bap-
fists of the state raise an additional $3.50,
OOO
The proposition has been accepted and
the effort to get this money will be pushed
vigorously. There is no doubt about the
denominations obtaining the sum needed.
for there are many wealthy members of
the church in Virginia, and Richmond
College Is the leading institution in the
south owned by those Of Mr.. Rockefeller s
this institution $4,000 or more.
Besides Richmond College. the Virginia
Baptists own large woman's college in
Richmond. and Mr.. Rockefeller informed
a committee Of the Richmond College
board Of trustees that ii they would unite
the two under one corporation he would
see that they had all the endowment
needed.
Money shall not stand in the way of
making this a great southern university"
Mr.. Rockefeller's agent is said to have
told them. "Mr. Rockefeller regards
Richmond as the strategic point in the
south for such a university, but does not
believe it can be done except by bringing
these two institutions together under one
management. with the buildings on the
same grounds
The present property will be sold and
the proceeds devoted to the new build
ings, while 100000 of the latest gift Of
Mr. Rockefeller will be used in the pur-
chase of the new site.

populist party and for the election of
Thomas Watson during the presidential
campaign.
II Will speak here at Cooper Union and
also in Ohio and Georgia." he said. The
populists are going to carry the latter
state this year because of Hoke Smith s
broken pledges OF reformative legislation
during the last year. These broken
pledges Of Hoke Smiths will swing
Georgia's usual democratic majority into
the populist column. People there are

BAR PRESIDENTS SAILORS.
Sylph's' Men Turned Away From
Dancing Pavilion in Oyster Bay.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, August 31.-Sev-
eral sailors from the Presidents yacht
Sylph, which is stationed here under COM
mand of Lieut.. Roger Williams, for the
Presidents use during his vacation, were
refused admittance Saturday night to a
public dancing pavilion attached to the
Innside Inn, Oyster Bays only seashore
hotel.
The announcement of the opening of
the pavilion had been advertised by pos
tiers and every one was invited. There
were many dancing in the pavilion when
the sailors appeared in uniform.
When they tried to go on the floor
they were stopped by an attendant A
long argument followed. The sailors
claimed that the uniform of the United
States Navy did not bar them from any
place. and expressed their indignation at
their treatment.
When the Sylph's men became con-
WINGED that they were not wanted they
left the place.
The men of the Presidents yacht Sylph
are all picked men. and no trouble has
been experienced from them anywhere in
the village this summer. Sailors from the
MayflOwer. which were stationed here for
the Presidents use in the early summer,
gave some trouble. however. and for this
reason the Navy Department ordered that
vessel to MILESTONE a short distance
down the sound.
