ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Claude A. Mallory Jumped the
Blind of the Ferry Over the Styx.

Claude A. Mallory, the young man
who has been operating photograph
gallery in the Peters building adjoin-
ing the Iver Anderson restaurant,
attempted suicide last Sunday even
ing by the poison route.
A mum ber of young men who have
been friendly with him dropped in at
his place just after supper, and found
that something was wrong with him,
he being very despondent, and they
concluded to stay with him fearing
some such outcome.
1t appears that he has not heen do
ing much business, and could not keep
up his expenses, and the building had
! been leased to another party and
notice given him to vacate, which
made him respondent.
After the boys had been with him
awhile he went intoa back room for
a few minutes, and then returned and
before long was taken with severe
palms, and the boys called doctor.
1t appears that he had taken dose
of poison when he was in the back
room, and while he would talk on
other subjects he would not answer
questions regarding this. The physi-
clans were able to pump the poison
out and then washed his stomach and
some of the boys remained with him
all night.
Monday morning he took the first
train for Sioux Falls, where his par
ents reside, and we are told that he
said he was going there to complete
the job.
He Is generally spoken of here as a
fine young man, and there is no
known reasons for him to do such an
act. Dell Rapids Times-Tribune.

Sweating For Moneys Sake.

Conspicuous in the throng upon the
decks OF the Kaiser Wilhelm H..
while she was being laboriously
warped into her berth at Hoboken
one day last September were iftee n
dignited maUrons. AT least they tried
to look dignitied, but realizing that
they were conspicuous, and being still
more distresSingly aware OF the rea-
son therefor, they made rather poor
fist OF it. For all the fifteen were
swathed in obstreperously new Per-
sian lamb coats which would have
been admirable garments for an Arc
tic winter excursion, and yet 1T was
a grilling hot day. The seasons keep
fashionably late hours in New York,
spring lingering into summer and
summer tapping over into autumn.
At the imminent risk of sunstroke
the fifteen kept their new fur coats
closely buttoned throughout the wear
isome time that it takes to moor a
big steamer. Perspiration streamed
from their red faces as they staggered
down the gang plank, and distribut-
ing themselves among the lettered
sections of the torrid deck began the
vigil of the baggage. BY the time her
trunks were all assembled ready for
the customs examination the lucky
first one was OF the point Of collapse.
When asked to acknowledge her sign
ature on her declaration she could
only gasp and nod her head. The In
spector to whom the document was
handed glanced at it, then at the new
Persian lamb coat.
"Thau is a handsome coat you have
on, madame he remarked seem ingly
bent on making conversation.
eyes, think 1t is rather fetching" "
murmured the melting one, finding
her voice again, for no woman Is ever
too far gone to rise to neatly turned
compliment.
''It has the real Persian cut. You
must have purchased it abroad"
"Oh yes! You cawn't get such furs
at home"

your declaration"
"Why I'm wearing it. Don't you
see? Pm wearing it,"
"That makes no difference what
ever. You will observe that the law
distinctly says that only one hundred
dollars worth Of goods purchased
aboard may be admitted duty free.

in vain, and that she must pay Sl3O

scarcely assuaged by the knowledge
that each Of the other fourteen were

parts of the dock. There are times
when misery is too much engrossed

the post and corps, presented Mr.. and
Mrs Hawn with a beautiful set of
solid silver spoons as a token of love
aud respect. Mr.. and Mrs. Hawn
were much surprised but nevertheless
both responded very feelingly with a
few words and not only promised to
always keep the spoons but to keep
their old Canton comrades in both
memory and heart and wanted them
to feel that they had standing in
vitation to come and visit them in
their western home.
A very delightful evening was
spent and although the ''goodbyes"
will be spoken with regret, the best
wishes from old comrades will follow

The Castle Cup tournament ad-
vanced another stage yesterday the
semi-hnals being decided
DEER beat O'Dowda, 6-9, 81, Sc
Eklund beat Lawrence Judd, 6-3,
7-5, Sc.
Both O'Dowda and Eklund are Eva
boys, and have made a remarkably
fine showing in the cup matches.
The match between Eklund and
Judd was a hard-fought contest, as a
glance at the score will show. Judd
was the holder of the cup and his de-
feat came in the nature of surprise.
The final round will be played this
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock and will be
well worth witnessing. Visitors will
be made welcome. The Beretainia
courts, where the match will take
place, is at the corner of Young and
Kapiolani streets.
Eglund looks to have a good chance
of capturing the tropyh. He practi.
cally lives on the courts at Eva, has
height, lightness and activity, in fact,
some of the most important qualities
which go to make a good tennis
player. He also uses his head at all
times and never seems to get ratified.
If he sticks to the game there is no
reason why he shouldn't develop into
an Al player.
