1f when a. foghorn warns the mariner
to shear ofi the coast, he still hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, Whose fault
is it ‘9 If the red switch light is up and
the engine driver deliberately pulls
ahead and pitches into another train,
blame the driver. If a careless work-
man will, in spite of warnings, try to
find out how many teeth a buzz saw has,
and the saw tries to find out how many
fingers the workman has, blame the
workman—not the saw. If a sick man
knows that a certain medicine is doing
him good, and he carelessly neglects to
use it, blame the man not the medicine.
If Norwalk people who have kidney
complaint and backache will not take
Doan’s Kidney Pills, when they are en-
dorsed by scores of citizens, blame the
people, not the endorsers.
Mrs. Joseph Whitley of 61 Belden
avenue, says: “ I was reading the pa-
pers one evening, and came across an
advertisement of Doan’s Kidney Pills,
and at that time I was annoyed with a
pain in the small of my back and was
thinking of trying some preparations to
see if I could get relief. Doa_n’s Kid-
ney Pills seemed to me to be above the
average judging from the cures they
had made, and I got a box at Genden-
ing’s drug store and took them. They
produced decided and satisfactory re-
sults. I recommend them to my friends.

A Yonkers Physician Jumps from n
Hotel \Vindow.
New York, Oct. 2.—-Robe\rt N. Flagg, a
Yonkers physician, tried to commit
suicide .yester’d‘ay mox‘ning by jumping
From a second-story window of the
Murray Hill Hotel, on Park avenue. He
from a fractured skull and a broken .
leg. '
Dr. Flegg was accompanied by his
wife, whom he only married the day
before. When the doctor came down-
stairs to breakfast, he appeared to be
much agitated. He was nervous and
ate very little. After breakfast he re-
turned to his room on the second floor
in the Fortieth street side of the hotel.
What occurred there is not known,
but not more than half an hour after
he had left the breakfast table 'a
woman’s screams were heard coming
from his room; Several persons re-
sponded, but before they could get the
ioor open the doctor had plunged head
first to the street below. .
His wife was hysterical and could not
tell what had happened other than that
the doctor, in spite of her efforts to
hold him, had jumped from the win-
flow.
Dr. Helmuth, a friend of Dr. Flagg,
when he heard of the occurrence, had
him removed to his private hospital on
Lexington avenue.
Business Troubles the Cause.
,Yonkers, N. Y., Oct. 2.—Dr. Robert
N. Flagg, who committed suicide by
jumping from the Murray Hill Hotel,
was one of the most widely known and
popular residents of Yonkers. He was
the oldest son of the late Dr. Levi N.
Flagg, and the descendant of one of
the first families that settled in West-
:hester County.
Dr. Flagg was in his 38th year, and
enjoyed a lucrative practice here as
physician. It is well-known here that
‘he doctor was suffering from mental
trouble brought on by the business
failure of Howard W. and George A.
Flagg, his brothers. Dr. Flagg had in-
dorsed a large amount of paper for
the defunct firm, which conducted a
'arge hat manufactory here. He re-
sided with his aged mother.

Brooklyns.
The National League championship
season will come to an end in the East
to—morrow.
There are still two positions in doubt,
sixth and tenth. Baltimore’s victory
over the VVashingtons yesterday put
the latter on even terms with the
Brooklyns for sixth place. The Pitts-
burgs won two games from the Cleve—
lands, and gained enough points to en-
able them to pass the Washingtons
and Brooklyns to-day, providing the
latter clubs lose and Pittsburg beats
Cleveland again. The Louisvilles won
handily from the Cincinnatis, and can
pass the Philadelphias by capturing
two more games from the Reds, if the
Quakers lose again to the New Yorks
this afternoon. The results:
Baltimore, 7; Washington, 4.
' Pittsburg, 11; Cleveland, 10 (first
game).

game). '

Congressman Dingley’s Fair Cousin
the Defendant.
Auburn, Me, Oct. 2.—This usually
peaceful section of Maine has never
known anything that upset it quite so
much as the breach of promise suit of
Arthur S. Melcher against Mrs. Louise
Dingley Hadley, a cousin of Congress—
man Nelson Dingley, the cross-exam-
ination of whom was yesterday conv-
tinned in the Supreme Court.
The unique feature of the case is
that Melcher wants $25,000 damages be-
cause Mrs. Hadley married some one
else after he had given her two 'rings
and fixed up his house.
He hasalready testified in his own
behalf and told of Mrs. Hadley’s love
for him and his for her. In support of
this he submitted twenty-nine letters
from her protesting her affection for
him.
