CLEAII COURT HOUSE Prisoners Begin Annual i Scrubbing.

After telling his neighbors Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning to come to a prayer meeting which would be held at his home Thursday night, John (Jack) C. Erisman, aged 53, 707 North Eighteenth street, called his wife from the garden -where she was working, and drank an ounce of carbolic acid. He lived six hours after taking the dose. Erisman had not been working for the last week but was formerly employed at the Relianee foundry. .Rheumatism hampered his work and sickness in the family made the struggle for existence too hard to bear, it is said by members of the family who give despondency as the cause of bis act. Erisman drank the acid at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon - in the presence of hie wife , and two small children. Mrs. Erisman ran from the house and called assistance. Neighbors summoned a physician and called for Mr. Erisman's mother. Fearing he would die immediately, she was rushed to the home, but Erisman was unconscious, and did not regain consciousness. Cheerful All Day. He was cheerful yesterday, neighbors said, and he spoke of fixing his garden and adding to his chickens, giving in detail plans for work around his home that would take him at least a week. Nothing unusual was thought of his request that they come to a prayer meetinp, which he said would be held at his home. After his conversion six months ago, Erisman had conducted frequent prayer meetings at his home, although in the last few weeks had had none. The carbolic acid which Erisman drank was brought into the home by Mrs. Erisman on the recommendation of a druggist, she stated, as a foot wash. Until three days ago, she had been confined to her home with foot (rouble, and only yesterday was able to go out to work in the garden. "Oh, Bertha," called Erisman, standing in his rear door. He held the bottle containing the acid aloft where s-he could see it, and as she up oachcd him, drank the contents, i.e immediately fell to the floor unconscious. Mrs. Erisman had no previous warning of the suicide. When he fell to the floor in a stupor she tried to revive him, but was unsuccessful. Neighbors sumoned a physician, Mr. Erisman's mother, and two married daughters. The second suicide in that section of the city within two days caused

considerable flurry among residentsTuesday night, Thunr.au Mitchell, of North Nineteenth street., drank carbolic acid on , the porcJi of his sweetheart's home, who lives on North Fourteenth afreet four squares from the Erisman home. Erisman is survived by his wife, mother, two small children and two marred daughters. Funeral services will be held from the home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial will be in Eariham cemetery.

ARRESTED HUSBAND NEW YORK, April 24. Eugene Oppel approached his wife on Broadway last night and saluted her. Before she recognized him she had him arrested as a masher. Angry at the arrest, Oppel began upbraiding Mrs. Oppel. Then she lost her temper and had him arrested again.

The steady beat of the carpet beater, the demoralizing force to mankind, the cold meals, the misplaced articles, rooms littered with an assortment of brooms, mops, sweepers, cleaners and various pieces of furniture, such as beds bureaus and dressers, all bespeak of spring house cleaning, to say nothing of the worried look upon the brows of Richmond husbands in general, and the appearance of wives in aprons and dustcaps. The spring house cleaning period in Richmond is on! Even the municipal buildings and

court house are getting theirs. Prisoners from the county jail are being used to do the work at the court house, and for the last three days have been

cleaning some of the windows, appar

ently for the first time since a year ago, when the building underwent a

similar scrubbing.

duced prices advertised had to give way to higher priced goods at prices that actually netted a loss., It was an exemplification on the one side of the quick action of the people who read Palladium advertisements,, and of the willingness and readiness to serve on the part of

Richmond's business men. Merchants without exception were highly elated over the . results attained, and they gare fall credit to the Palladium for its efforts to bring buyer and seller into closer relationship through the medium of a genuine bargain day "all around."

"Dollar Day" has come and - gone, and thousands of citizens who took advantage of the extraordinary offers of merchandise made by many of the leading merchants through the columns of The Palladium, are ready to testify that it was a "real bargain day" -in all that the term implies. Richmond merchant, who have the reputation of never setting forth in their announcements anything that cannot be fulfilled to the letter, were, in some instances overrun with business during the day, and their stocks of bargain offerings were depleted either in whole or in part, but patrons were supplied with their wants even though the allotted stock at the re-

Paul Kelist who headlines the bill at the Murray the last half of this week has overcome the handicap of the pantomimist, who is not allowed to talk. He has cultivated a whistle which he has graduated to such exquisite shades of expression that he can whistle words and phrases. He is a high grade soloist on musical instruments, Using mysterious electrical effects, altogether making this act one of the most refined and at the same time comical performances of the age. Waltzing in mid air, bringing to life wooden figures or commanding a battleship to float in mid air these are a few of Mr. Kleist's interesting features. Madame Marion, Vaudeville's newest lightning change sensation, offers a protean novelty called "A Daughter of Proteus." In telling a pretty story dealing with tiie romance of a young Italian girl, Madame Marion plays seven female characters, changing from one to the other with such rapidity and completeness of detail, as to make her audiences gasp in wonder and then to show her versatality she changes back and forth to the characters at will, until she makes in all fifteen seemingly impossible transformations. Besides these two the two Dixie Girls, Campbell and Campbell and Maxwell Holden the shadowgraphist complete the bill. Adv.
