FRANK L. LEE PROPERTY
PURCHASED by BABTISTS
Congregation Fully Determines to
Erect a Fine New Church Build
ing.-Work Will Start
in Near Future.

At the general meeting of the
members of the Grand Junction Bap-
tist church held last night it was
definitely decided that work shall,
start in the near future on a beauti-
full and modern new church edifice.
the congregation having long ago
outgrown the old church building on
Grand avenue.
The proposition embodying the
purchase of the large 2-story resi-
dence and additional lots on the cor
ner of Seventh street and Grand av-
enue, owned and occupied by Frank
|. Lee. was accepted, and the deal
will be closed at once for this hand
some and superbly located property
The purchase price. it is understood
is $500. The residence will be used
as parsonage. 1t is thoroughly
modern in every respect and is one
of the prettiest frame residences in
the city. The residence, according
to the present plans, will be moved
to the eastern end of the lots AMI
made to face Seventh street. Then
on the front of the lots the new
church, to be erected at a cost of
from $4,000 to $4,000, will be
erected. 1t Is certain to be a credit
to the city and matter of pride and
delight to the membership.
At the meeting last night over So
600 was subscribed in brief period
of time to be applied on the purchase
price of the Lee residence and the
site.
Some interest was created by a pc
tition presented by DR.. H. R. Bull
and DR.. G. r. Warner who own res
idences near the Lee home, asking
that the site at the corner of Grand
and Seventh street be not accepted,
these gentlemen fearing that the
church building would not be in
keeping in architectural beauty with
some of the neighboring residences.
The petition, however, was not ia
vorably considered.
The proposed site of the new
church is one of the best in the
city.
Rev. Davis of Alabama, who, as
announced by The Sentinel some time
ago, has been called to the pastor
ate of the local church, will reach
the city about March L.
The meeting last night was one of
the most important church meetings
held in the city in many months.

SUICIDE CLUBS
Ten Thousand Seven Hundred and
Eighty-Two Suicides in the Unit
ed States Last Year

A recent dispatch announces that
there were 1O,7S2 suicides in the
United States last year, an increase
of 657 over 1906. In nine years
the records of self-murderers has
doubled. 1t was 5,34O in 1893. In
recent editorial discussion of the
question the Rocky Mountain News
has the following:
What is the explanation of this
amazing increase in self-destruction :?
The News is not prepared to say,
with anything like certainty. Some
of the factors are fairly plain. The
increased pressure of modern life,
the extra pace demanded of every
one, must have some influence. So,
too, the lessening of the power of
religious restraint has permitted
other factors to work out.
But, these are commonplace of
the discussion. The real explanation
we do not pretend to give. Nor are
We better prepared with a remedy.
General Booth claims that the anti
suicide bureau of the Salvation Ar
my has stopped many thousands in
their intent to commit self-slaughter
We doubt it greatly. Persons who
have determined on suicide do not
go to bureaus to advertise their in
tentions, and, besides, the deadly
gain showed in the statistics does
not look as though any radical help
had been found.
ut is Just another problem which
civilization has thus far failed to
solve. Let us hope that the present
year will see some progress toward
that solution"

IL will be remembered that some
time ago Truant Officer O'Neil took
the boy in custody, owing to certain
delinquent actions. He was arraigned
pefore Judge Sullivan, and the judge
told the boy that he would give him
another trial if he would attend the
schools regularly and conduct him
self as a boy should he would not
send his to the industrial school.
However, the boy has not needed
.he advice of Judge Sullivan and has
peen staying out of school lately,
so today he found himself in the Gus

policemen.

Maj. Boudets charges perform a manual of
arms, which, if anything is complicated than
that which the soldier is compelled to learn One
OF the prett1est sights imaginable is the series OF
eVolutions which these policemen carry out
There are some taxpaying Chicagoans who scoff
at pretty evolutions, but they, Maj. Boudet claims
are not of the far-seeng class He points out
that the drilling of policemen in this manner
teaches them to handle themselves with grace and
ease and makes them ADLER in the duties they per-
form
Only recently the beauty squad about 100 strong,
gave militiamen of the First Illinois infantry sta
toned at Chicago, drill exhibition in the big
First Regiment armory. So perfect were the evo
lutions that even the soldiers were awed The po-
licemen formed revolving wedges, hollow squares
tve-pointed stars circles and other ingenious for
nations, the perfection of which had taken them
months to accomplish.
The squad is formed on the order of military
company. There is Maj. Boudet at the head a
first and second lieutenant and the regulation
number of sergeans and corporals.
Gaining place the Chicago police force to-
day is perhaps difficult a feat as the average
man of middle age would care to attempt and for
that reason the department is composed of the
best physiques that the city can furnish. The same
is true of the fire department the efficiency of
which is evidenced by the fact that during the
past fiscal year every confagration in Chicago
was put under control before the fire could spread
to adjacent buildings.

licemen undergo, follows:

Squanders $4,OOO,OOO in Five Years

WASHINGTON.-Countess Julia w.
w l.. Seckendorf, the dashing beauty
who rose from lady's maid to mistress
of millions of dollars, through which
she ran in five years, declares that
she had no regrets because her for
tune has been squandered.
The countess is now said to be at
least 100000 in debt, and was forced
to undergo the humiliation of seeing
the last Of her property sold at debt
sale.
IL spent it when had It," the beau
tiful countess is reported to have re-
marked to a friend.
Il haven't any regrets now that it is
gone. Some people have money, but
they won't spend it. Frankly, I can
not see what good it does them"
The career of the countess, who is
an American girl, is as romantically
interesting as that of any woman in
the world
Once the lavish entertainer of cabi-
net members, ambassadors, senators
and social lights in Washington, the
Countess Seckendorf, who five years
ago fell heir to the $4,000,000 estate
of her second spouse, gained reputa-
tion as a spender, tearfully watched

of the droning voices of auctioneers.
1t is said that the countess owes
about 100000 although the figure has
not been authoritatively announced.
Some years ago Miss Julia Davidson,
the present countess, entered the en-
ploy of Mrs, John o. Donner as maid.
The Donners had a daughter named
Elsie, and Miss Davidson cared for the
child.
About six years ago Mrs. Donner
died and Donner married Miss David
son. Immediately the house became
the center of social life among the
wealthy people of the district. Serv-
ants seemed everywhere, and the new
Mrs. Donner began to enjoy life to the
utmost.
Her millionaire husband was devot-
ed to her and his affection was re-
turned Elsie, Donner's daughter, still
lived on the estate.
After Donners death five years ago
Mrs. Donner came into the great for
tune She went to Washington and
mingled with the fashionable set there,
meeting the count, who captured her
heart. She soon squandered her
money.

health officers is to be broken. Within
a short time Early is to be permitted
to live with his family.
That is, he will be allowed to dwell
in the same house, but will not come
in direct contact with them. He will
have his own sleeping apartment, bed
linen, towels, dishes and other domes-
tic appliances.
This has been practically decided
upon by the health officials. The plan
will not be carried into effect until the
commissioners have received the re-
port from the solicitor Of the treasury
as to whether or not the federal au-
thorities have power to transport the
leper to North Carolina, the latters
home state, regardless of the fact
that that commonwealth has refused
to accept him.
Although the decision has not been
forwarded to the commissioners, it is
known that the solicitors opinion is
adverse. He has said that the federal
department is powerless to act, and
has reported to the secretary of the
treasury to that effect.
The commissioners will take no ac-
ton until they have received the
opinion in official form from the latter.

He rendered a glass to the first man

The waiter likewise opened his
mouth, but in astonishment. He rea-

made somewhere In dazed manner
he waved the tray until it was again

plunged from the room. Every mem

Leper to Have Home with His Family

Plans for Early's future care and
treatment have been discussed by
Health officer Woodward and DR.. Will
liam Fowler, chief of the contagious
disease service. 1t is settled between
them that the strict isolation of the af-
flicted man is to be broken.
1t is considered likely that some old
building belonging to the district will
be turned over to the leper and his
family for habitation and he will be in
structed to provide for himself and
keep his own quarantine.
In the event that this building cannot
be procured it may be that Early will
be permitted to live in the house near
the asylum grounds now occupied by
his wife and child. On the other
hand. it may be suggested to him
that he buy a small place in the sub
urbs.
Physicians in charge of Early are
considering plan to inoculate him
with the leprosy bacilli, which consti-
tutes the recently discovered Nastin
cure of the malady. This method is
said to have cured the disease In sew
eral instances, when used while the
disease was in its early stage, as in
the case of Early.
Early clings to the faint belief that
his disease is not leprosy, and that
the physicians have made a mistake
in diagnosing his case. He does not
favor this new treatment.

When the conscience contribution
first arrived the commissioner caused
an examination to be made of the rec

veteran was entitled to his pension
