Cut His Throat Exactly at the “’cdding Hour. A dcspatch from Winnipeg says: At- exander Scott, a young foreman of the Winnipeg Paint and Glass Company, committed suicide in his room on_Wet- n-esrlay night by cutting his throat. Scott was to have been married to an estimable young lady in this city, and the wedding was to hay‘e taken place at eight o’clock Wednesday evening. The guests had assembled atdtlio house of the bride, but as Scott did not put in an appearance at. the appointed hour, the bride’s brother and one of the guests started for his lodging-house to learn what was keeping the bridegroom. They found Scott lying on the bed dead. He had done the deed at the exact hour the wedding was to have taken place. The only motive that can be suggest-ed is financial straits and mental derange- aicnt. __ Regina Germans are organizing for a Provincial. sangcrfest. ‘ ' The bounty on lead expires this year, but. is to be renewed for five years. .____.___.__._ . . . _ ______â€".. _____. , 0.11 It Will Government May Make Arrangements With the Canadian Northern IztaflWay.

A desiiatch from New York says: The reports that hundreds of pupils in the public schools of the city are suffering from lack of proper nourislmient as a result of so many yersons in the poorer sections of the city being out of employ- ment were given oilicial consideration by the Association for the Improving of the Condition of the Poor on Wed- ncsday. To every school Principal in Greater New York the association sent letters requesting them to immediately notify the association of cascs of desti- tution. As a result it is expected that rel of will be sent to hundreds of homes within the next few days. .The asso- ciation is being assisted in this work by the United Hebrew Charities Society. More than five hundred children of the school districts on the lower East Side are in need of food, according to a re- port made on Wednesday by District Superintendent Julia Richman. In many cas-r-s it has been found that children go a week. Many of these children have fainted in school from lack of nourish- ment.
