ATTEMPTED 10 SUICIDE ITALIAN LIFE CONVICT FOUND HANGING IN HIS CELL But was Caught in Nick of Time by One of the, Guards and Life was Saved---Used Pair of Suspenders. An Italian convict in the penitent- iary, serving a life sentence, attempt- ed to commit suicide during Tuesday night, by hanging himself in his cell, with a pair of suspenders. He was caught in the act by Guard Kenneth Pipe, and thus his life was saved. It is understood that the convict, who has been in the "pen" for some time, has been very melancholy. He has been confined in the separate ward. Fastening his suspenders to the bars of his cell, he made a noose, and placed it around his neek" While making his rounds, Guard Pipe found the Italian hanging. and lost no time in cutting him down. The convict had only been hanging a second or two, as he did not suffer any ill effects. Had the guard not found him just at in the nick of time, he would have succeeded in taking his life, married, besides FRONTENAC DEANERY. Missionary and Sunday School Work Taken Up at Sessions.

L. GWILLIM DIED OF HIS WOUNDS Vancouver, B. C., Officer Was Brother of Prof. J. C. Gwillim, Kingston. ° Word was received in the city on Thursday that Lieut. F. L. Gwillim, brother of Prof. J. C. Gwillim, of Queen's \ University, had died of wounds. Before going overseas, Lieut. Gwillim was a prominent lawyer at Vancouver, B. C. He was born in the western part of England, but had resided in Canada for the most part of his life. He went overseas with the 29th Battalion of Vancouver. He was unmarried, and had visited Kingston on two or three occasions, his last visit to this city being made five years ago last July. | Harry Westwood Wounded. Driver Harry Westwood, who is on the casualty list as wounded, is well known in the city, having been a resident at 24 Markland street be- fore enlisting. The extent of his in- juries is not stated. George Preston Wounded. Pte. George Preston, of the Army Service Corps here, received word on Wednesday that his son, Pte. George, overseas with the infantry, was wounded and missing. Pte.

In her little home on Place d'- Armes street, Mrs. Pacor, surrounded by ten small children, received the following telegram on Thursday morning: "Sincerely regret to inform you that Pte. Charles Edward Pecor, in- fantry, has been killed in action." Needless to say, the blow was a hard one on this mother. Her hus- band was a machinist in the Gan- . A, Foster, Folkstone, Eng., have] At the Grand. For tonight and the remaining half of the week an attractive bill has been arranged. Charlie Chaplin will be seen 1n his latest laugh sensation, "Behind the Screen." Charlie's Maughproducer is unravelled in two thousand funny feet of film farce. In this picture Chaplin injects many new and novel side-splitting stunts: Dainty little June Caprice will be seen in the; five-reel feature, "Little Miss Happi-; ness," a story brimful of love, my- stery and romance, The Pathe News is also billed to unwind all it knows] Feature vaudeville will hold the boards, and will complete a pro- gramme well worth seeing. At the Strand. In the new Triangle feature, ""Man- hatten Madness," to be seen at the Strand for the last three days of this week, Douglas Fairbanks appears in a role different from any of the pre- vious parts he has played since he made his screen debut. '**Manhatten Madness' is a baffling mystery of east and west concerning a love af- fair, a bet'of $5,000, and;some real thrills around New York City. A Keystone comedy, "A Modern Enoch Arden," with Mack Swain and Joseph Jackson, and other good reels will also be shown. On the vaudeville end of the programme Groves and Fitzsimmons are high-class comed- ians and come highly recommended. At Griffin's. The bill at Griffin's for the last three days is headed by that well- known star, Dustin Farnum in "The Parson of Panamint," a five-reel Famous Player production. Millions have read this wonderful story, pub- lished first in the Saturday Evening Post, and upon which this produc- fron has been based. Mr. Farnum, as the parson, has literally immortal- ized by his screen characterizations one of the most interesting figures in the history of fiction of the Great West. The elements of human in- terest, of history, tragedy and com- edy, as related Chuckawalla Bill, form the found&tion of a very un- usual and wonderful story. GERMANY'S LOSSES Since the Big Somme Drive Began--Some Figures Are Given. (Special to the Whig.) London, Nov. 30.--The daily aver- age in British casualties in Novem- ber is 2,487, as compared with 3,492 in October, 3,985 in September, 4. 127 in August, 1,925 in July, these being the months of the big Somme offensive. With the exception of the July figures those for November are the smallest since the offensive be- gan. The total losses for five months were slightly over 460,000. Germany published 3,755,692 casualties during the war up to the end of October and even these do not represent the total German losses, | as their lists are far in ER Tak- ing into account that the British figures include naval and colonial losses, while Germany's do not, it began aggregate, on all froNts, dou- ble Britain's.
