GIANT SUICIDE
IN THE BAR ROOM
Pushed Aside all Who Tried to Pre-
vent Him From Taking Drink
of f.cid.

ALTON, H., Jan. 31.-With a bottle
of carbolic acid in one hand, Daniel
Burnett, an Alton giant, battled with
crowd in saloon. When he had
vanquished all his opponents the des-
perate man stood in the midst OF his
PROSTATE foes and drank the poison.
He died three hours later.
Burnett was more than feet tall
and was known as the strongest man
in the city. He had some trouble at
home and went to the saloon on
Union avenue conducted by Sunder-
land Brothers. He drank several
glasses of beer and then took the bot
tie containing carbolic acid from his
pocket.
Here's looking at you.'' he said to
the men about the bar.
Before he could put the bottle 70
his lips his arms were seized by Har-
| ry Flake and Owen Voyles. Putting
his finger over the open bottle to keep
the acid from pouring out, Burnett
with one hand pushed aside the two
men.
Others came to the assistance of
I the two. but Burnett hurled them
away from him. When the last of the
men in the barroom had been knocked
down Burnett smilingly drank the con-
/ tents of the bottle.
Burnett was employed in the Alton
glass works. He is survived by wild
ow and two children. He was 30 years
| old.

CUBAN NEGROES
MAY FORM PARTY
Agitation is Again Talked Of for the
Native Blacks to Contro,
the island


HAVANA, Jan. 31.-Fears of race
conflict, growing out of tie recent dis
orders resulting from the refusal Of
the management of the principal
hotel in Havana to entertain negroes.
have in a great measure abated, and
the possibilities of further trouble
from this particular source have prac-
tically disappeared.
In spite of this, however, the affair
has served to revive agitation, which
always comes to the fore at the least
suggestion of racial troubles, in savor
of organizing great negro political
party, with the purpose of controlling
the government. Precision, the organ
of the partido Independte de Color Gin
dependent Party of Color prints the
newly constructed platform OF the
party. which contains these significant
provisions:
The independent party of color
shall be organized throughout the
whole territory of the republic, with
national character, to maintain Its
equilibrium of all Cuban interests.
"The republic of equality, sovereign
and independent, without race dis
examinations or social antagonism,
shall be our services.
To what extent the promoters OF
the new movement may be successful
remains to be seen, Ut there can be
no manner of doubt that if the. or
ganization of the co,sred race as a
political party should ever be effect
ed. it would rule the Repubpa OF
| Cuba.

Mr.. Schell is now in Lancaster, Pa,

continues Mr.. Schell.
Mr.. Schell feared that the stop
