Jim Scevors , u young man in the employ of EH IJrown , tried to commit sulcldo yester day shortly after noon. Ftur shots wcro heard In rapid succession from the second lloor , nnd Mr. Drown , who wns In the store during the noon hour , ran up stairs to see what was the matter. Ho found Scovcrs lying on the floor beside a chair from which ho had evidently just fallen. A revolver was in his hand and the blood was pouring In n steady stream from n wound Just alwve the right car. Help was -at once summoned and n medical examination wns made which re sulted In the discovery thnt Scovcrs wns not killed , but had nad a rather narrow escape. Sccvcrs has hnd n great deal of trouble from his tendencies to drink more than his stomach actimlly needed. In fact ho lu.d taken the Kcely treatment twice , but each tlmo went back to his cups with a fervor that resulted In his becoming almost n chronlo drunkard. The men in the store with him state that ho used to bo n ilrst- class workman when sober , and it ia only Brown's lilting for him that kept him the situation so long. For the last two weeks ho has hardly drawn a sober breath. Yesterday noon ho went up stairs and a few minutes later brought into active use the gun which ho had provided for him self. Throe shots failed to hit the mark nt till , but were picked out of the celling later on by Ofllccr Wlatt and given to the coroner ns evidence in case the cor oner's services should bo required. The fourth took effect ] ust above the right car aud glanced upward , coining out an Inch or so above the place where it trcnt in , indicting a small scalp wound that bled vlKO.-ously , but doing no further dam- ago. The shot was from a 82-callbcr Smith < fc Wesson , and the fact that It failed to ac complish a result any inoro dire speaks In glowing terms of the hardness of Mr. Scevers' skull. IIo was taken to the Woman's Christian Association hospital , where he is h'avlng the best of treatment. It Is not thought that the wound will prove dangerous. AlANAWA'd Ol'U.VINO. Immense Crowds AVItncBS iinil Knjoy the Opening : of the Summer Kcnsou. There were two deluges at Manawa yester day afternoon. Ono was a deluge of children and the other was an unbound edition of Noah's original Hood. The children wcro there first and they enjoyed everything , in cluding the storm , which they viewed with delight from the hotel verandas and the lake front pavilion. The occasion was the openIng - Ing of the season. The event had been taken advantage of by Bcnnison Bros. , the dry goods merchants , who arranged a Irco ex cursion for the children of Council Blulls , Omaha and South Omaha , or as many of them as wanted to go and could bo accom modated. Arrangements had been made by Colonel Uecd to take care of a bic crowd , every car In the service of the com pany being utilized. Bennison Bros , issued over 5,000 tickets , and during the hour that the distribution was going on traftlc on Broadway was almost blocked. Finally the Bcnnlsons placed two long counters on the Scott street side of their building and in creased the force of ticket givers. It was a sight worth looking at. The side street was filled completely with a shouting , hustling , lauchlng crowd of girlsj and boys , with enough of school teachers and parents to prevent a general riot. By half past 1'J tha crowd hnd become so great that the dry goods merchants began to fear that their place would bo sacked and for self-preserva tion made the announcement that tha first motor train would leave at 12:30 : Instead of 1 o'clock , This sent all .tho youngsters that had secured tickets scurrying toward the Broadway depot and the others crowded forward and obtained tickets. Tickets were Issued until after 2 o'clock and It required five trains to carry the multitude down. At the lake every arrangement had been made to make the day a memorable one. The Galloway Specialty company gave a fine matlnco performance in the incomplotcd pavilion opera houso. It was Just what the llttlo pcoplo nnd all others liked , and they stirred the dCuths of the lake with their shouts of approval. Dalbey's band gave a concert after the matinee , and there wcro many other special features to please the children. Ono was especially now nnd novel. Colonel Heed had bought fifteen boxes of oranges , and hit upon a novel manner of dis tributing them. Ho cleared the crowd from the big lawn for a few moments and then scattered the oranges over nn acre of the grass. Then , at a given signal , he turned the children into the trolden Held and let them scramble for the fruit. Old fishermen say that what followed paralyzed the fish in the lako. None of the oranges escaped and none of the boys wore killed. During the afternoon several thousand ol the children and their guardians wcro given frco excursions on the lake , the big steamer Max Meyer and Ed Alnscow's two safe and sturdy little flyers furnishing the means. Everything was free and the children of the three cities owned the lakcand everything in it and around it for the tlmo. There was not an accident or an unpleas ant happening reported , and the children are lavish in their praise of the enterprising firm nnd the lake management that made it possible for them to have so delightful nn outing. Next Saturday will also bo n big day al the lake. The work on the pavilion oporn house will bo completed and the theatrical season that will last all summer will b < inaugurated.Tho Manawa Theater com pany will open it with a "Modern Waif.

After the lapse of more than a century the patriotic services , hcreolc dovotlon to coun try and lamentable death of Nathan Halo , the patriot spy of the revolution , are to bo commemorated by the erection of u statue , which is to bo placed in City Hall park , New York Qity , next Tuesday. The raising of the monument is a labor of love to bo per formed by the Sons of the Involution of Now York. Nathan Halo is familiar to all who have read American history. Ho was captured on September 18,1770 , by the British and hung nt sunrise on Sunday morning , Soptcmber 22 , in the orchard of Colonel Henry Kutgors , near what is now the Junction of Market street acd East Broadway , Now York. Halo was an American spy. IIo had in many 'respects his prototype in John Andre , the British spy who was executed by the revo lutionists. Ho was a typical Now England boy. Ho was born nt Coventry Corner , Mass. , Juno 0 , 1755. His grandfather was one of the early settlers of Massachusetts , graduated at Har vard college and attended the Salem wtch ! > craft trials In 1602 and approved the Judicial murders that resulted. Nathan Halo at tended Yale college and graduated in 1773. Ho was then 18 years of age. The strain be tween the mother country and the colonies was increasing to an ominous tension. The political situation was well understood by young Halo when he left college and when news of the battle of Lexington reached New London , Conn. , where he was teaching school , ho called a meeting of his fellow townsmen in the school house to take action. That was Nathan Halo's debut in public as a patriot. To those who faltered ho saidLet : us march Immediately to the battlefield and never lay down our arms until wo have obtained our independence. " Hale was made a lieutenant in Colonel Webb's regiment , known as "tho Nineteenth Continentals , " and early in 1770 was promoted meted to a captaincy. On August 27 Webb's command , with others , was hurried over to Long Island , but took no part in the engage ment that culminated in the defeat of Wash ington's army. On August 80 the skillful re treat of Washington to New York City was bcRimand Halo was transferred to the com mand of a company In the Connecticut rangers known as "Congress" Own. " It was at this point that ho became a fa mous character in American history. A spy was needed to gain information of the enemy's movements. Halo volunteered and reported to General Washington at the house of Hobert Murray on Murray Hill in ' .Now York City. What specific instructions , advice and cautions Halo received from Wash- ngton is not recorded , but suffice it to say that ho made his way back to Connecticut , assumed the garb of a schoolmaster and a loyalist and in this guise mingled with the torlcs and the British troops. Ho was on his way back to Washington's headquarters on September 18 , 177(3 ( , wnen his dlguiso was penetrated and ho was cap tured by a clever trick on Long Island Sound and placed on board a British man-of-war. IIo was brought to New York nnd delivered to General Howe. The British commander examined him. ibut there was no formal trial , and Halo was condemned to dlo on September 22 at sunriso. Ho novcr filnchod. His willlngexccutloner was Provost Marshal Willlan Cunningham , a man of violent and coarse nature , who hated the Revolutionists with a bitterness past understanding. Halo , whoso request for a bible had been denied , passed his last night on eartn writ ing to his parents , his sister and to his be trothed. These letters were given Into Cun ningham's hands. Ho cruelly toro them up before Hale'a eyes , "so" as ho said , "tho rebels should never know they had a man who could die with such firmness. " Halo was hung to the limb of an old apple tree , Ho was made to climb a ladder that the noose might bo placed about his neck. Before complying ho said impressively : "You nre shedding the blood of the in- noccnt'.iif I had 10,000 lives I would lay them down in defense of my injured , bleeding country. " His last words wcro ; "I only regret that ' I have but one life to'loso for my country. " The words had hardly escaped his lips when Cunningham , with a malignant leer , kicked the ladder from under the condemned man , Many years afterward Lafayette in his memoirs thus described the sad scene : "Captain Halo of Connecticut , a distin guished young man , beloved by his family and friends , had been taken on Long Island under circumstances of the saino kind as those that occasioned the death of Major Andre , but instead of being treated with the like respect , to which Major Andre himself bore testimony , Captain Halo was Insulted to the last moment of hla llfo. 'This is a fine death for a soldier I' said one of the English officers who were surrounding the cart of execution. 'Sir , ' replied Hale , lifting up his cap , 'thero is no death which would not bo rendered noble in such a glorious cause. ' IIo calmly replaced his cap , and the fata ) cart moving on ho died with the moat perfect composure. Halo left no descendants to glory in tno deed of their ancestor. His nephews and grandnephewu wore able and noted Journalt ists , and the mental development as well as the honorable character of the Halo race baa been manifest in each generation. His graudnleco , Lucrotin Pcabody , was un authoress well worthy of mention , and the literary career of Edward Everett Hale , tier brother but that is another , a modern und .familiar story.

The first sight of Gibraltar la , I think , disappointing , bays Richard Hurding Davis in llurpcr'u ' Weekly. It means bo much , and so many lives have boon given for it , and so many great ships sunk by its batteries , and such great powers have warred lor 1,200 years for its few miles of Htono , that its black outline against the sky , with nothing to meas ure it with but the fading stars , is dwarfed and spoiled. It is only after the sun begins to 'turn the lights out an ! you are able to compare it with the great ships at its base , und you see the battlements nnd the mouths of cannon , and the clouds resting on its top , that you understand it , und then , when the outline of the crouching lion that has faced all Europe for 100 years comes Into relief , you remember it Is , as they say , the lock to the Mediterranean , of which England holds the key. And oven while you feel this , and are greedily following the course of each rampart and terrace with eyes that nro tired of blank stretches of water , some ono points to a low line of mountains lying like blue clouds before the red sky of the sunrise , dim , forbidding and mysterious and yon know that it is Africa. Bpain , lying to the right , all green and amethyst , and Jlippunt and gay with white houses arid red roofs , and Gibral tar's grim show of battlements and war , become , somehow ol llttlo moment. You feel that you have known thorn always , and that they are ns you fancied they would bo. But this other land across the water looks as inscrutable , as dark and as silent as the Sphinx that typifies it , and you feel that its Pillar of Hercules still marks the entrance to the "Unknown world.
