NEGRO ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

YUMA-A negro couple who lived on Gila street have engaged in frequent quarrels lately, usually quieting down and returning to peace and affection, after few passages of stormy langu. age Sunday they had an unusually severe tilt in which the wife got so much the best of the argument that the man gave up in despair and de termined to leave this world and its troubles and sorrows.
 He went to the railroad bridge and without hesitation sprang into the water which proved to be very low only about foot deep, and stuck in the mud sinking till the water came up almost to his waist Some one saw him jump and the re port went up the street causing 2 crowd of two or three hundred peo pie to gather When he struck the cold water his troubles had flown and the desire for life was strong. He sci up a yell for help. Most of the thoughtless crowd looked upon it al as monkey show and seeing no dan ger of his drowning, set to guyine him. One sung there's one more river to cross," another started the Swanee River and an irrevenrent Rec lamation Service man said he was scabbing on the Photographer. His wife came too and alternately scream ed when he fell over in his struggles to get his feet out of the mud and "sassed' him for being fool. Fin ally an Indian brought a boat and he was without difficulty extricated and brought to the shore where there was happy family reunion and nut ual promises to be good in the fu- ture. He went home followed by a long hooting and ha-ha-iEg process sion.

VICE -PRES|DENT-ELECT WAITS AN
 HOUR ID INTERVIEW GOVERNOR

Finally Charles R. Osborne, secre- tary of the board of control, hur- ried in to see the governor Osborn had business that wouldn't wait, and he horned right into the sanc- tum sanctorum, regardless of whom soever might be there. After a min utes conversation with Hunt, Os- born left.
 In the outer office Osburn noticed an insignificant looking, gray-haired man patiently waiting. He knew that he had seen pictures of that face somewhere. He edged around where he could get side view, then he tiptoed back into the private office.
 Governor Osborn said, q think the vice-president IS waiting to see you"
 Governor Hunt knocked over two chairs on his way to the door. A second later he was wringing the hand of Thomas R. Marshall and de manding to know just how long he had been kept waiting. Marshall smiled and replied that it didn't mat ter; that he would have been willing to wait much longer for an interview with Arizona's governor.
 The vice-president-elect was ush- cred into the private office, the door was closed, and for the next hour the two were in close conference. Later in the afternoon the governor of Arizona took the governor of In- diana for a ride in his car.

They will remain here until after the conclusion of tho special session which conyenee cE tue "b.Id of Fc brlary. MT.

JACK JOHNSON HAS
 BAD CASE OF "HAUNTS"
Negro PugiIist Claims That Spooks
 Made Merry in His Cell.

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 1S-Jack John son, the burley negro pugilist, suffer ing from an old fashioned case of ''Haunts'' limped into the office of Charles F. DeWoody, in the United States department of justice today, and complained bitterly because he was detained in one of the bath cells in the county jaiI Tuesday night after his return from Battle Creek Michigan.
 The negro swore that ''spooks' made merry around his cell all night some dancing about the floor, and others amusing themselves by tap ping outside the iron cage.
 For the first time in my life I an suffering from a weak back" John son said That's due to my threshins around all night when the spooks were bothering me. Look here and he displayed part of a large DO rous plaster on his back.
 T thought you had a large com fortable room,' DeWoody, said.
 No complaint about the size,' John son replied, but just think of sleep ing in room where men spent theil last night on earth. I'd rather juml from the top of twenty story build ing than repeat the experience"

ASK DAMAGES OF ID MILLION OUT
 IF WRECK
Titanic Deaths and Loss of Freight Cause Many Suits; Cases Post poned to Hear Claimants
 Appeal.

i. NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Fifty law yers who hope to obtain for theii clients more than $10,O00,OO0 damages for loss of life and property on the steamer Titanic were arrayed against attorneys for the White Star line in the United States district court today the expiration of the time limit set by the court for filing suits. The limit was extended to February Il.
 The White Star line contends that it's entire liability is limited under the United States statutes to less than $100, ,000-the value of recovered wreckage and passage money. Ameri- can claimants allege that the line can not claim this limitation because it was itself responsible for the loss of life by reason of personal negligence
 If their assertion in this respect is sustained, the claimants will recover full damages. But even if this clai1l is not upheld, the contention of A. L. Brougham, representing 200 claimants is that the White Star lines liability can only be limited by the provisions of the British law, which would con- pei the company to pay total damages of about S3,OOO,OOO.
 The law requires that action for damages for loss of life must begin within a year of the date of the sink ing of the ship, and lawyers opposing the White Star line charged today that the company was endeavoring to mislead claimants so that their right to sue would be lost.
 MT. Brougham has instituted an ap- peal in the court of appeals where he hopes to determine fully the rights of the death claimants to bring suit for full damages. Because of this appeal the lower court granted today's post ponement.

STREET CANS SUCCESSFUL
Philadelphia Housing Commission
Experiment Bears Good Results.

Philadelphia Housing Commissions
Experiment Bears Good Results.
One of the many important activities
OF the Philadelphia housing commits
sion, as shown by its recently pub
lished annual report. las been Il study
of the efficiency Of the bureau of street
cleaning in the congested areas.
Here 1t was found that the tenants
were largely to blame for dirty streets.
They would wrap up their garbage in
paper and throw it into the street
cutters, or they would sweep the dirt
from their stores and yards upon the
pavement. or they would throw waste
paper and rubbish into the street. so
that within an hour after the street
cleaners had gone through the street
would be practically as filthy rs be
fore.
The commission felt that little could
be accomplished in such areas by urg-
ing the street cleaners to more eff
Client service unless there was close co
operation on the part of the tenants.
Assistant Chief Neall took n personal

fore him and aided in securing a sun
of money to purchase rubbish cans
A trial area Of eight blocks in Of
the dirtiest sections of the city vas
plotted and sixty cans placed. Spccial
circulars in English and Yiddish We're
distributed. Visitors speaking various
languages were sent to every family to
explain the purpose of the can and to
urge them to cooperate. The princi-
pals and teachers Of the public schools
in the neighborhood and the settlement
workers were asked to instruct their
scholars about the cans and the i'm
portance Of keeping the streets clean.
This campaign was duplicated several
times, so that the adults as well as
the children in the district became
fully Informed. The campaign was
sufficiently effective to warrant coun-
ellis to authorize the purchase Of 1892
more cans to continue the experiment
on a larger scale.

Celery Storage.

Hotbeds and cold frames are quite
satisfactory for storing celery. They
may either be dug out deeper or have
another set Of boards on top to give
the required height. The plants ne
set in the frame close together and
then covered with boards Tapped, to
shed rain. In very cold localities such
frames are covered with sash, Over
which are mats covered with boards.
Ventilation must be given on warm
days by blocking up the sash. Celery
Is also stored satisfactorily in trenches,
with the boards used in blanching nail
ed in v shape and placed over the top.
II warm weather follows the troughe
are blocked up to admit air. When.
frost m a light furrow Is thrown
up along the boards and later manure
is thrown over them, but this trench
plan is usually adopted when the crop
is to be sold early in the winter. Tops
Of celery should always be dry when
It is stored. and, some soil IL lifted with
the plants. 1t must be stored before
hard freezing.
