busy and a very interesting meet

tary and treasurer. the president
asked for committee reports.

DespOndent Over Ill Health

ing.

The tragic death Of Mr.. Samuel
ScAneidman, who c 0 m m t e d
suicide here Saturday morning
between seven and eight o'clock,
was a great shock to the entil e
community.
The rash act occurred at his
tailoring establishment on Grant
street and was without witnes ses.
A 80 calibre Smith and Wesso n
revolver was used to commit the
act and the bullet entered his chest.
The report of the gun was not
heard but not many minutes after
ward MIR. j. Kassewitz called at
the shop. finding Schneidman half
reclining on a table, face dow n
ward and still gripping the bloody
pistol. Mr.. Kassewitz ran out and
Immediately summoned DR.. D. b.
Ware, who examined the body and
found that Schneidman had been
dead not more than 80 minutes.
The only reason trat can be
assigned for the suicide was his
dependency over failing health.
Mr.. Schneldman's health had been
wretched for several weeks and
his peculiar actions Friday caused
Mr.. Kassewitz to phone for his
brother-in-law Mr.. Ralph Michals.
of Albany, who came over that
night.

fairs we're in splendid condition,
and from all appearances, he and
his bride of seven months we're

man for several days preceding the
death of her husband was very
much worried about his condition
and when appraised of his rash act,
she was Frustrated.

The deliberate act was fully evil
denced by the scrupulous care with
which the deceased arranged all
of his worldly affairs. Every neces-
sary arrangement to protect the
widow and friends against techni-
cal annoyance was taken and his
business affairs fully attended to
for the past several days. That
he contemplated the act for some
weeks appears from the fact that
about three weeks ago he purchas-

which none of his relatives had any
knowledge whatsoever.

Or. Henry And His Work

Have you noticed colored child
rem walking to school with tin
cups tied to their clothes and won
dered what is up9 It's the result
of a lecture delivered by DR..
Henry on Health and Sanitation
at the Colored M. E. Church last
Monday night, AS a prevention
of contagious diseases he advised
the use of individual drinking
cups in the schools and it is
a source of qualification to him to
know that his lecture is bearing
fruit in other lines besides the
worm treatment. Saturday
( ,was a busy day with the doc
Tor and his assistant. More than
two hundred children of the city
presented themselves for examina.
ton and about $50 examinations
were made. That the disease is not
entirely confined to children in the
country was evidenced by the large
percentage of infected cases among
those examined from among the
city schools. Saturday March 22nd
will be the Doctors last daV for
examinations and treatment in the
county and every parent in the
city should be interested enough in
their children's welfare to take ad-
vantage of this free examination
and treatment if necessary. In
watching the children at the Court
house Saturday we were forcibly
impressed with the DEMOCRACY
of DISEASE. Children from the
swell homes on the swell streets of
the city We'd with those of lesser
favored environment in the per-
centage of infected cases. False
pride should not deter anyone
from Kidding themselves or their
children from these p arasites; neg
Iect may mean a life of failure
where success should be most GER
tain.
