MADE SLIGHT CUTS
WITH PEN KNIFE
Luigi Boni Had Previously Given His
Friends Alarm by Wandering About
the City Practically All
Night.

! Luigi Boni, aged about "a years. o.
Prospect street. who has been acting
queerly for the past week, after ramb
! ling all through the night over nearly
every path and by-w way of the city made
fruitless attempt to end his existence
| in Hope cemetery about o'clock this
morning. The Implement with which
Boni tried to take his life was a mere
penknife, which inflicted only scratches
about his head and wrist. Soon after
wards Officer John Dineen and Deputy
Sheriff George Morris appeared on the
scene and took the man in charge.
For the past week friends OF Boni
have noticed his strange manners and
appearance, but not until last night,
when he absented himself from home,
was it thought necessary to take care of
him. He is said to have wandered prac-
tically all night before friends got on his
trail While on North Main street this
morning at an early hour, he accosted a
friend and told him OF his intention to
purchase revolver, with which he said
he would finish his earthly career. 1t is
said that Boni straightway went to a
shop on the street, where such weapons
are saieable, but was unable 10 make the
purchase as the proprietor OF the store
had been warned Of the prospective pur-
chasers intent.
The man was followed towards Hope
cemetery. 1t was then that his friends
deemed ii advisable to notify police
Headquarters The call at the station
was forwarded by one of Boni's com
pions from the home of Mrs. Frank
Burke OF Summer street. Officer Dineen
and Deputy Morris went after the man
and soon apprehended him.
Boni previous to the arrival of the
authorities had been trying TO make use
of small. sized penknife, which he had
on his person. His efforts to inject the
blade Of the kr into his left wrist and
both temples Werc of but little conse-
quence. Blood, trickling off his head and
wrist, was observed, but brief exami |
nation showed il came from no more
than scratches. He was taken to police |
headqua; tiers. DIR. c. F. Camp was sum-
noned to determine the mental status /
Df the person and also give medical at /
.ention to the wounds.
Dr. Camp decided that it would be
to take Boni to Waterbury T
Papers were made out and officers ac-
the man to Waterbury. where
le will be placed under observation ct

ne will be taken to Montpelier before

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
THE SILVER SCYTHE.

~ NCE upon a time a poor wood
chopper lived far up in Nor
\ way. His home was hut
made of logs and though the
family always had a bright fire. yet
they often needed food and clothing
during the long northern winter. There
were twelve children In the family. and
all were girls except the youngest, a
boy, who WIS named Olaf. --.--
The twelve girls worked hard. but
there was not enough baking and sew
ing to keep all busy. The weather was
so cold and the snow so deep that they
had to sit by the fire all day, as thsy
had no clothing to wear out OF doors.
Olaf would help his father in the woods,
but in spite of the work it seemed that
the family grew poorer and poorer each
day. I
So one morning Olaf put loaf OF
brown bread in his bag and told his
mother he was going out to seek his
fortune You have kind heart and
brave heart said his mother as she
kissed him goodbye, and 1 think you
will succeed"
So for many months Olaf tramped
through the snow, from door to door
till he was far from home. Spring came
and then summer, and he found him-
self in a great plain where there were
acres and acres of fields OF rfpened
wheat waving in the warm wind. one
warm afternoon he lay under an OAK
watching the grain shine golden in the
sun. Presently he heard the sound OF
sigh. And. looking up, he saw pretty
wood-nymph sitting in the branches OF
the tree. =,

Wonderful Fire in Battle Scene
Said to Be Most Wonderful
Effect Yet Devised.

n EVER before In the history of the
MI theater has there been a more
sumptuous and artistic theatre
cal spectacle than the one
which opens this evening In the Ma
tional Theater. presenting Viola Allen
in "The Daughter OF Heaven" . drama
of modern China. 1t must be borne In
mind that 1t is magnificent spectacle
primarily, and only incidentally a play.
Its appeal Is to the eye, rather than to
the intellect, for the plot is simple
one. a story Of Romeo and Juliet in an
Oriental setting.
From beginning to end 1t Is a sue
cession of magnificent stage. pictures.
saturated with the sensual beauty, the
barbara and ostentatious splendor of
the Orient. This atmosphere" is
caught and held throughout the drama,
ticism Of the prescribed rooms in the
palace at Picking; the fierce sunlit flower
bedecked pavilion Of the Empress Of
the Mings; the gilt and bejcweled
throne room of ebony and gold. or the
barbaric beauty, almost terrifying, in
its realism, Of the defeat. slaughter,
and seif-immolation Of the Mings. in
the awful battle scene before the walls
Of Marking.
Great Fire Scene
Work Of Stage Art.
The results Of the efforts OF Hugh
Ford. general stage director; Edward
Morange, the scenic artist, and the
chief electrician, the master mechanic,
the master OF properties, and the chief
Of the construction department of the
Liebler Company constitute a real ad-
vance in modern stage mechanics. One
instance will suftice-the wonderful fire
in the battle scene, the most perfect
illusion Of its kind yet devised.
This fire is vitally important. and
were it to appear as an obvious artifice,
an important scene in the play would
have been ruined. Mr.. Ford went
through Europe with a fine-tooth comb
hunting UP some practical way to re-
produce fire on the stage. without in
curing the wrath of the fire depart
ment. He consulted eminent scientists
who told him the thing was impossible.
He had about made UP his mind to
ask NJ Lott to rewrite the scene in
such a manner as to do away with the
fire altogether. But on his return TO
America in June he was met by his
chief electrician. who. with a smiling
face. Informed him that he had some
thing to show him.
The impossible had been accomplished.
the fire was burning on the stage so
perfect that were it not for the alb
sence of heat one might be deceived
by It's apparent reality when standing
a few feet from 1t on the stage. As 1t
was, the fireman stationed on the stage
