Negro Furnace Tender, In ft HI of
Revenge For Funded Injury
ut Door of UI» Residence.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Andrew Ilas
ell Green, "rather of Greater New
uk," one of the best known and
ost honored citizens of the country,
as assassinated at the door of his
ime, ill Park avenue, by a negro,
irnelius N. Williams.
The negro met the aged lawyer ns he
as entering his home and shot him
,-ice through the head, killing him iu
} autly.
His motive, according to his owu
j ory; a maniacal motive, according to
, e police, was that Mr. Green had de
nted him in bringing a suit for libel
; jalnst a negro woman and had had
j i in ejected from a house in which he
. rmerly lived.
The shooting followed some parley
'tween the philanthropist and the
azed negro and an attempt on Mr.
■een's part to get the negro to go
vay.
As Williams pulled his revolver from
i l l. 1... .1- onrl L'liA/itlmr
r. Green half turned as if to seek the
1 otection of the house.
, Then, as he was hit mortally, he
tilled forward In his areaway, where
I ■ was found lying In a pool of blood.
Williams looked at the fallen man,
ook Ids list at the body and cursed it
id then stood with supreme coin
; ,ure to await arrest. He was caught
• a policeman.
i After the policeman took tlio revolver
i jui the negro he said:
-him. That's what lie deserved.”
The negro's statements were so pe
er that he was asked if lie had
• been in an insane asylum. lie mi
red this question in the negative,
inn he was nsked:
'Have people ever told you that you
?re insane?”
‘Yes, people have said that I was
ollsh, and sometimes I felt that way.
ut today I felt llrst rate.”
It appears that Williams hail long
untied to attack Mr. Green. Accord
g to Ids story, the trouble began eight
i s ago, when Mr. Green was eoun
■1 f. r Bessie Davis, n nogross, said to
1 i 111 repute. Williams charged the
< man with slander. He says that
ret n told him he was going to give
ae Davis woman money to defend tin*
•ait if one was brought, and on the
trength of this Williams abandoned
ction.__

oinan to get his revenge on her and
tely laid his plans to shoot his sup
isod enemy.
•‘If It hadn't been for that slander,”
id Williams, "I would today be hap
ly married.”

SUICIDE MADE EASY.
Despondent Xorwenlnn Took Ills Own
Life by Simple Method of ltetfus
iuf,v to Dreathe.
That It Is possible to commit suicide
by simply holding one’s breath has
been clearly proved by a despondent
Norwegian, who recently killed him
self in this very unusual manner.
When he determined 10 die he closed
his mouth and nostrils and by mere
force of will prevented his lungs from
doing their proper work.
This case is the more remarkable,
says the New York Herald, as there
has long been a popular notion that no
numan being count by mere win power
stop the action of the lungs for more
than one or two minutes. For this rea
son it has attracted much attention,
and a French writer, commenting on
it, says:
"To persons of good taste who are
weary of life this method of commit
ting suicide will certainly commend it
self, one reason being because the body
is not disfigured thereby, and another
because the act can be committed in
any place and at any time. It is (rue
that sensitive or nervous persons will
never he able to kill themselves in this
manner, for. simple as it seems, the
act of retaining one’s breath until
death conies can only be performed
by one who is either unusually phleg
matic or endowed with a very strong
will.”

May I be permitted, writes an Ottawa
resident to the London Outlook, as an
humble member of one of Great Brit

and condition, geographical and other

The following reply, given by the
commander in chief in his evidence be
fore the royal commission on the war
on the question as to the possibility of
finding sttitabia maeuvering grounds
for troops in Canada, appears in the
Blue Book recently issued:
"I do not know Canada personally
(says Lord Loberts). I have been told
that Canada is very much covered with
Honcn fnrocio orwl flint It la /iif
ficult to find much spare ground.”
Would Lord Roberts be surprised to
learn that the northern half of the
American continent, known as Canada,
possesses an area of over 3,000,000 square
miles; that the prairies of Canada ex
tend for many thousands of miles and
are as open as the flattest portions of
Wimbledon commons; that there is so
much “spare ground” in Canada that
the present population of 5,000,000 or
so is at a loss to know what to do with it?
