The llirht regard In which some men
hold their lives was Illustrated In the
police station last night y a Urlivk-
craied Polander, who made a ueuoeruie
attempt at suicide In a spirit of Ijragga-
doclo.
The man, whose name Is Wnrco, was
arrested or creating a disturbance In
a saloon on Fourth street, Bellevue,
yesterday afternoon. He 'broke a win

articles Inside the saloon 'by throwing
cuspidors, ibotthu, etc., .promiscuously
albout at the heads of thoBe who were
unlucky enough to '.be present at the
time, lilts rage was cooled but little by
his being placed behind the bars in the
central station house, for when the
band concert was progressing outside
he made such a racket iby slamming his
Iron 'bunk around that he attracted
about as much attention 'as the band,
and to prevent his performance Ser
geant Delter, when argument failed,
was compelled to handcuff him to the
tiara of his cell. This, however, did not
deter him from kicking against the
sides of the cell, banging his manacles
against the jbars and shouting at the
top of his voice, making enough noise.
to keep the neighbors lor a 'block
around from going to sleep.
Said He Would Hang Himself.
About 11 o'clock AVarco stopped an of
ficer who was passing by his cell, and
with the foulest kind of .blasphemy
swore that If he was not let go he would
hang himself. Seeing that he was hand
cuffed to the bars the officer regarded
Warco's threat in the nature of a good
joke, and after some 'bantering with
htm about his .being afraid to hang
himself, .passed on. A Tribune reporter
and sightseer happened by Warco's cell
a moment later, and seeing him en
gaged In rather peculiar gyrations,
paused to watch him.
He reached down his hands as far as
his manacles would permit succeeded
in gasping the upper edge of fails over
alls and by gradually drawing them
upwards .with accompanying wrlngles
of his body, finally got hold of the leath
er strap which served him as a .belt.
Then with the aid of his hands and
teeth, he made a noose by passing one
end through the buckle, and this nn
lshed he tied .the belt to a cross 'bar at
about the heigh to of his face.

As .his purpose becme quite evident
to the onlookers at this juncture he
was asked what he was doing.
Before, any Interference could be of
fered he dropped the noose over his
head, and, with a sudden jerk back
wards tightened the Strap about his
neck until It shut off his wind. One of
the onlookers cut the strap from the
bars while the other summoned Ser
geant Delter. Warco was grasping and
struggling as If In terrible agony, and
as the lalgue of the buckle had slipped
Into one of the holes In the belt, it was
with the greatest difficulty that he was
relieved. Even after he sank down in
a semi-conscious condition he clung
wKh a death-like grip to the strap.
His terrible experience had no moral
effect on him, however, for after he
had recovered sufficiently to stand up
he was again at his blaspheming and

committed Ellis to answer at court, as
he was unable to furnish ball. It is
expected, however, that his father, who
Is a prominent cltlsen of Lake Como,
Wayne county, will go his ball today.
At the hearing and by subsequent
Investigations made by Chief Simpson
It was learned that the cause of the un
pleasantness between Mr. and iMrs.
Ellis was t'he alleged discovery made
by the wife that her husband Is a
bigamist. She says, and he admitted
yesterday, that he had a wife and fam

allegation, a Utter from a man named
Lawson, written to his .wife, in .which
there l. he says, undoubted proofs of
her Infidelity.
The case will receive an airing In
court, and will doubtlessly prove to be
a very racy one.
LOOKING OVER GROUND.
Rev. George Heed, D. !., LL, D. aad Dean
William Friekett, IX. 0., of DUUnson
Law School, Visit the City.
Rev. Oeorge Edward Reed, D. D.,
LL. D., president of Dickinson college,
and Dean William Trlckett. LL. D., of
the Dickinson Law school, arrived Mere
yesterday afternoon on a visit of Inves
tigation tending .toward the locating in
Scrcnton of the law department of the
Dickinson college. They remained over
night at the Wyoming, and will leave
this morning for Carlisle,
The two gentlemen were met at the
Delaware and Hudson station by ex-
Juil-e Alfred Hand, William Connell,
Captain W. A. May a! Secretary D. B.
Atherton, of the board of trade. . Dur
ing the early afternoon the visitors
were driven to many of the various
points of interest about 'the city, and
were shown several proposed locations
for the school, which, In case the trans
fer is made to Scranton, will only be
used temporarily, until a final location
la made In the Wears or Board of Trade
buildings.
Tendered an Informal Reception.
Later in the day, at an Informal re
ception In the hotel parlors, Dra. Reed
and Trlckett met a large number of
prominent - business men and lawyers
and other professional men.
No statement waa made by either
President Reed or Dr. Trlckett to the
gentlemen who entertained them which
warrants the positive assertion that
the school wlH come to Scranton. While
Dr. Trlckett gave the Impression that
he was personally favorble to such a
conclusion, President Reed, upon whose
decision .the matter will rest, stated
only that he would formally report his
visit to the trustees of the college, who
would make their decision before Oct.
1. His only - remark which, could be
construed pro or con was that the sep
aration of the law department from the
main college would either be a very
great advantage or a pronounced detri
ment, and It was a matter which would
have to be carefully weighed.
Pleased with the City.
Neither President (Reed nor Dean
Trlckett had visited the city before.
They expressed themselves as charmed
with its many advantages, Ka beauty
and Ha great thrif t.
Should the school be moved to Scran
ton U will identify with the city several
learned men, notably Professor Guy
carieton Le and .the two of the fac
ulty now here.

Tribnae Will Make Effort to
Caravel the Mystery.
MR. TRAUGER INTERVIEWS D
Ho Speat Last Wlater la Los Aageles aad
There Saw the Aanounoemcat That
Dr. Leete Uad Bcea Left
Money by Hoary B. Carey.
The Tribune has undertaken the task
of unraveling the mystery rurrounding
the Dr. A. M. Leete legacy and will sift
the matter to the bottom, and If It is
within the scope of posalblllty the peo
ple of this city will know ere long
whether the fortune Is a myth or exists
and some one Is endeavoring to defraud
the rightful heirs.
Far more than looked for success has
already teen met with. The investiga
tion was scarcely begun when the dis
covery was made that one of our own
citizens was In Los Angeles, Ca at the
time the Carey will Is supposed to have
been made public, and thut he read In
the papers there at that time of the be
quest to Dr. A. N. Leete.
This man Is Oeorge II. Trauger, and
his residence is at 6.5 Kant Market
street, Green Rldtfe. iMr. Trauger is a
clerk In Atherton's store on the Provi
dence corners, and there he was sought
by The Tribune representative yester-
duy afternoon.
Whut Mr. Trauger Had to Say,
When nuked If he could throw any
lUrht on the caxe hesuld he did not know
whether or not he could tell anything
tnut was not already known, as he had
not followed up the case and ensequent
ly .was not familiar with what had been
published on It.
'I spent Inst wlnlter In compnny with
my wife, In Pico Heights, a suburb of
Los Angele, California, where I went
for the ben i' lit of my health," said Mr.
Trauger. "One day In the early part
of February tho man with whom I
boarded, Silas UmHtead, asked me If I
knew a man named Dr. A. N. Leete in
Scranton, at the same time handing me
a copy of the Los Angeles Times, and
pointing out a paragraph in a long ar
ticle about the bequests of a man
named Curey. , This paragraph an
nounced that $50,000 had been be
queathed to Dr. Allen Norton Leirte, of
Scranton, and spoke of him having
loaned Carey money many 'years ago.
I nt first thought the reference . was
made to the physician Dr. Leot, but
but when I recollected that his Initials
were N. Y. I concluded that It must
be some brother of t'he physician, of
wham I had not heard, and with that
dismissed the matter from any further
thought until a few days ago when my
wife called my attention to an nrtlcle
In the Philadelphia Pre.s, which, she
remarked was about the same Dr.
Leete matter, which we read of when
we were Jn California,
I had not been reading the papers
closely of late, and, not knowing any
thing about the case, I did not realize
that What I knew had any important
bearing on the matter."
Thinks It Was a Copy of a Will.
IMr. Trauger was asked If he could re
member what the nature of the article
was of which the Dr. Leete paragraph
was a part, but he was unable to state,
saying that to the best of his knowledge
he dlol not even read the heading of the
article ar.'d merely glanced over the
body of It. In answer to. a query as to
whether or not the article had any veri
fication or denial he sulci that his Im
pression Is that the article was a copy
of a will and was not commented on
one way or another. He does not re-
mem'ber having seen anything In the
Los Angeles papers concerning the mat
ter atfter his attention was first culled
to It.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
which corresponds to 1 o'clock In the
afternoon In California, the following
telegram was sent with "rush" I list rue.
Hons over the Postal lines to the ILos
Angeles Times:
Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, Cal.
Some time about the latter part of Jan.
uary you printed an article concerning the
will of on Henry B. Carey and a bequest
or i&o.wo to Dr. A. N. Leete. of Scranton,
Please telegraph at once a summary of

Dig Addition to Lackawanna Knitting
Works to He Lrcuicd at Once.
The extending of Industries on the

news In this respect Is tho announce
ment made last evening by William
Connell that an addition BO Iby 100 feet
and as high as the main, building- will
be made to the Lackawanna Knitting
mills on Brook street. "
Tho contract was let yesterday to
Conrad 'Schroeder, with Instructions to
begin it rlcht away and finish It as soon
as practicable. The addition will be
chiefly Sot work floors, but a certain
part of It will be apportioned for ofllce
room to relieve the crowded condition
of the ofllces at present.
The addition will be equal to almost
an entire new factory, and will cause
upwards of 'between 75 and 100 new
hands to lie added to the pay roll. This,
with the new addition to the Sauquolt
811k mill and the .Simpson and Co.'s
new mill In the upper part of the Twen
tleth ward will represent a vast force
of Industry. (Mr. .Schroeder will put a
force of men to .work, perhaps. Won'
day to excavate forhe foundation, and
In about two weeks everything will be
ready for the masonry. The addition',
It is ibelieved, will make it almost the
largest woolen mill In the country.
THE VIRTUE OF CRITICISM.
"Amber,"in the Times-Herald.
If you expect to escape criticism In
this world you put yourself In the at
titude of flower roots that expect to
grow without the discipline of the hoe.
Before we can amount to any thing,
either fc blossom or as fruit, we must
undergo much honest criticism, and of
such we need never be afraid. A candid
enemy Is of far more benefit, often, than
a tlmld friend, who, seeing our faults, is
afraid to tell us of them. The fact that
boys stone certain trees and pass others
by .Is explainable when we And that the
stones are always thrown at the trees
that bear fruit. And so with character;
tho fact that we are criticised proves
that we are something better than
scrub-oaks. All criticism; however, that
does not set in growing and stimu
late a show of blossom and a yield of
rruit Is like a hoe made of wood, or a
cultivator without applied power to
make it cast tho weedy growth. If
the honest and unanimous verdict of the
community in which we live asserts that
we are lazy, and selfish, and proud, we
may be pretty sure that we need the
particular stroke of the hoe to acceler
ate our crop of blossoms. Nobody (save
One) was ever yet universally con
demned without some cause. If. then
we find that tho people who do not
know us very we'll, nor like us very
much, are criticising certain lines of our
conduct. It Is time to admit that we
need the hoe and time to accept its
ministration.

brings the consciousness of increased
care and forethought regarding the diet
of the little on. It Is appalling to
anyone understanding the subject to
see the carelesrness of parents and
nurses in the matter of Infant feeding.
With cholera Infantum raging as It Is
east and west this summer, these facta
cannot be put to parents to plainly.
This mortality Is not a necessary evil.
for, as every single writer on the sub
ject (from the eminent Dr. Itouth, to
whom every physician turns for advice,
down to the honest medical student
whose opinions see light In the popular
medical Journals) agrees. It arises prin
cipally from the Improper feeding of
children.
Watch your baby's actions carefully,
especially at this season of ithe year so
trying to little children. Is he ctohs,
fretful or peevish? Is he troubled with
constipation, colic, or diarrhoea? 1
his sleep short or easily broken? Then
his food disagrees, and he Is in serious
danger of fatal disease.
"What can I do?" we bear you u.Mk.
Change at once to laotated food, a pure
and Belentillc food that makes the Rick
baby well and keeps the .healthy child
hvarty and strong, even In summer's
dangerous weather.
The best physicians prescribe it, ln
telligent mothers recommend it and use
It, and babies living on 4t prove Its
wonth by their healtihy end happy facts.
The worry and sadness that it keeps
away is alone sulIKIetit reason for using
lactaited fold, but it Is also very econom
ical, coaling lesb than five cents a quart,
when prepared from the larger sizes.
The small size costs only 2Z cents, and
will be muilod on receipt of price by the
'manufacturers, WellB, Itichairdson &
Co., liurllngton, Vt. If your drugglHt
hasn't It in stock, do not let the sun go
down before you have ordered some.
It may rave the baby's life.
The mother's milk in the summer la
affected by the heat, and is often dan
gerous for the Infant. It Is much safer
to wean the child and put it upon this
reliable food that Is always the same.
