Cutting His Throat.

B%iddeford, Me, Aug. 31.-Richmond

wrecked York County Savings bank,
attempted suicide by cutting his throat.
He Is In a critical condition. His at
tempt followed the announcement that
the banks shortage Is between $780,
coo and $35o,000.
Ingersoll said several days ago that
the failure Of the bank was due en-
tirely to a system of false bookkeep-
Ing. which he had started years ago to
save the bank from loss through an
investment. He denied any theft.

MYSTERIOUS AVIATOR
CRUISING AT NIGHT

New York, Aug, 31.-A score or more
Of persons In Madison Square park,
about 8 o'clock last night, saw far
above the city to the east two bright
lights, one green and the other blue.
They were wide apart and arranged
like the port and starboard lights of o
ship under way. Then only the green
light shone, soaring to the north. The
spectators rubbed their eyes and began
to pinch themselves. Just then the red
light came into view again and the
two, like the eyes of some monster
bird, bore directly toward the park, as
If to alight in the square.
While the blueeoats and the others
began to doubt their vision they heard
a low, buzzing noise that soon became
a whirr, then a roar, accompanied by
explosions like the reports from a rapid
fire gun. There was no doubt of it any
more-it was an airship.
The machine circled around the Met
ropolitan tower and then disappeared.
No one knows the name of the aviator
who guided the mysterious alrship.

KAMP kARE
Hughes's Commission Lis
tens to Woodruff Tell
His Side of the Matter.
he PAID HIGH PRICE

Albany. n. Y, Aug. 31.-Chairman
Timothy L. Woodruff Of the Repub-
lican state committee answered all the
questions-some Of them unpleasant
Of the Adirondack commissioners when
he voluntarily appeared before them to
tell Of Ramp Kill Kare, his 1000 acre
mountain estate.
AS TO the Kamp XIII Kare parcel.
Woodruff said the state wanted that
thousand acre tract along with the
rest of Durant's Racqgette lake hold
ings, but Durant wouldn't sell the
thousand acre parcel for the reason he
wished to reserve 1t to protect the val
ue of the Durant tracts on Lake Sum-
ner now Lake Kora) and on Lake
Shedd (now Lake Sagamore). The last
named lake since has passed into the
possession of Alfred G. Vanderbilt. 1t
was only after Durant and the latter
mans concern, the Forest Park and
Land company, had refused to sell the
thousand acre tract to the state. so
Woodruff averred, that he stepped to
the front and acquired it for his own
private purposes. He paid S12 an acre
for the choice bit of wilderness and
lake, he said, as against ST an acre
paid by the forest preserve board for
the almost $4,000 acre tract of Durant
holdings on Racquette lake.
Woodruff said Governor Black APP
proved the 24,OOO acre purchase by
Woodruff and his associates for the
state. An expert, Woodruff alleged,
had appraised the tract at $4,000, and
1t is now valued at 100000. He de-
MED the state ever had a chance to get
the "a, 900 acres for $4,000.
After hearing Woodruff the commits
sioners announced they had concluded
the taking of oral testimony and that
they would submit their report to
Governor Hughes some time next
month.

added:
my attention has been particularly
drawn to this subject by some alarm
ing but well authenticated reports of
fragrant immortality in our public

that in some of our colleges even gross
immortality and drunkenness are no

diately after Welsh was killed and is
held by the st. Paul police. 1t Is be
lteved no formal charge will be made
against him, since the authorities are
convinced that he acted entirely in
self defense.
Welsh had been special agent for the
Great Northern in Duluth, but had
been discharged by Ray because he
had shot and wounded George Miller
In an ARRAY near Duluth not long ago.
Ray claimed Welsh had fred on Miller
without provocation.
Before Ray reached his office yester-
day Welsh appeared and asked Chief
Clerk Lewis Hess If there was any
mail for him. On being told that there
was not he left, saying, "Where is ALP
He will be In In a few minutes"
'Tell him I'll be back" said Welsh
as he went out.
A moment or two later Ray put In
an appearance, and, going into his pri-
vate office, began to open his mail.
While he was thus employed Welsh
appeared u~nannounced at the door and
began to fire at Ray. With the first
shot Ray dropped to the floor behind
his desk, and, using that as a screen,
kept out of harms way as Welsh fired
five shots. When Welsh ceased firing
Ray stood up from behind his desk
and fred, killing his assaiiant In
stantly.
Welsh's shots struck the wall imme-
diately behind Rays desk and within
a few inches Of Rays head. He fired
with his right hand and seemed to be
feeling for something in his pocket
with his left. AS Ray brought his pis-
toll into action Welsh fired his last shot.
Then he threw the package which he
had taken from his pocket. The bull
let's from Rays revolver seemed to
confuse Welsh, and he put little force
behind his attempt. Ray did not real
lze until afterward that the package

four of the six bullets took effect.
Walsh staggered into an anteroom and
fell dead.

DELICIOUS FROZEN DESSERTS

In Byron's time II may have been
waste of time TO seek ice in June"
But in these days it appears in large
quantities on every well appointed din
ner table all through the summer II
clinks refreshingly against the sides
of the water glasses, chills the salad
and the fruit and often constitutes the
last course. Summer. in fact, is the
season for frozen desserts, and of all
frozen desserts there is none more de-
lightful than biscuit glace. Particu-
larly is It suited to festive occasions.
The varieties of biscuit glace are
well nigh legion. one form calling for
a sherbet, another for a mousse. and
so on--ln fact, one may use any COM
bination that strikes ones fancy pro-
viding it is appropriate in color and
flavor and the main part of the mix
ture is frozen. Sometimes the molds
or cases are filled with a single frozen
preparation and decorated with maca-
room crumbs or candied fruits or with
fine meringue that has been Drowned
with a redhot salamander. Some
times the dessert is garnished with
spun sugar.
A biscuit glace is always a frozel
mixture in individual forms. The cook
books which print recipes for fancy
jellies and other concoctions under
this title do not act in accordance
with the best French authority.
The following recipes are simple
enough for the ordinary housewife TO
follow;

TO KEEP ROOMS
COOL IN SUMMER

No matter where you live, whether
in town or country. the surest way to
make the house cool is to keep the
windows shut during the day. The
house has had a good airing during
the night II the windows have been
wide open. Then when you close them
all day and open them at sundown the
atmosphere will be delightfully."- cool.
Life in tropical countries during hot
weather would be impossible unless
this procedure were followed. 1t is a
fine plan, therefore. before the sun be-
gins TO strike warmly on the house for
the housekeeper to see that every
blind in the place is closed. 1t makes
no difference IL the sun does not reach
that particular window; the mere fact
that the temperature is affected is
enough to require that II shall be ex-
cluded.
In the country a greater current Of
air may be secured by "bowing" the
blinds. This consists in putting them
on short hook that will hold them to-
gether at the outer edges. so that the
latter two just meet. This means that
the blinds are about one-quarter open.
A long hook. going from the window
sill to the bottom of the blind. Is re-
quired to prevent the wind from blow
ing In quite fiat In this way the sun
is kept out, while a draft is created.
Windows and blinds in the country
may be opened Just as soon as the sun
goes down because foliage does not
hold heat and when the sun goes none
IS left. But in town pavements and
buildings throw off heat for several
hours after sundown, and IL is well to
delay opening the windows until after
dusk.
To arrange a room so the windows
can be opened at the top is highly de-
sirable, and in the third or top story
Of a country house this method should
be considered imperative. No place
holds more heat than the roof, and it's
speedy egress must be arranged for.
II the windows open only at the bot
tom the top story will not cool off be-
fore morning unless there is an air
chamber above. but with the tops
down IL will be fresh in a couple Of
hours.
A hand shower to use in the bath
tub is an indisp pensable article for COM
fort in hot weather. Unfortunately 1t
is expensive. During nights that are
too humid to sleep one or two showers
may be taken without injury. and they
refresh the body, sometimes by reduc-
ing the temperature and so making
rest possible.

LEARNING TO REST

country once week You can exer-
else or loaf. but you will come home
stimulated. The country girl needs
the excitement of the city.
Many a woman has found going to
the theater the greatest rest she
knows This is particularly 30 for the
brain workers or for women given to
worrying about their household duties.
Some girls make il a practice to keep
a little knitting and a good book with
in reach. When they feel themselves
getting nervously tired they knit a
few rows or read a few pages.
The girl who cultivates the cat nap"
habit has discovered one of the secrets
of keeping rested. An afternoon of
sleep makes for sluggishness; totally
different is five minutes oblivion
snatched when sitting upright in
rocking. chair or stretched fat on your
back
More restful Of all is the power to
let things go. One rarely hears OF q
woman getting nervous prostratiou
who has the blessed faculty OF sitting
down in the midst of confusion to
finish a good book or of snatching a
day Of pure pleasure though duties
press.
Such a girl will possibly be called
irresponsible, but she has learned how
not to live at tension. which is the
crying evil Of our race.
Summer is the legitimate resting
time. See that you make that rest
count.

TO PREVENT FADED HAIR.

Do you want streaked hair Of seven
teen different shades when next fall
comes around?
II you do not you must make up
your mind TO wear a hat during the
summer.
A bother you say? OF course. Did
you ever know anything connected
with keeping fresh that wasn't a
bother?
But II is not half as hard as spend
ing time and money later getting over
the effects Of sunburned hair.
Too strong a dose of sun acts on the
hair by drying the natural oils in the
scalp and then burning. just as a hot
fiatiron scorches linen.
If IL is impossible for you to wear a
hat oil must be rubbed regularly into
the scalp to counteract this drying ef-
feet.
Remember that the most beautiful
hair in the world comes from the
peasant women OF Brittany who keep
their heads covered with their little
