AN ALIANCE EXPE1.1IENT.
To Establi?h a School Under i*A Own Con
trol.
RALEIGH, N. C., September I8.---The
Farmers Alliance will establish a scho il
of their own at Moorehead city. The
foundation of the first of the buildings
was laid this week, and it will speedily
be completed. It will accomodate :300
pupils, and other buildings will be
erected. The object is to furnish tui
tion and board at actual cost. The
superintendent will buy food at whole
sale, and each pupil will pay his exact
proportion of the cost. It is calculated
that this will not exceed $5 per month.
It is proposed to divide the salaries of
the teachers among the schliars in the
same way. Agents are now at work
among the alliance in vari,,us sections
of the State.
It is the first case in which the alli
ance has taken hold; of educational
matters, and for this reason the experi
inent attracts considerable attention.
What Becomes of the Money.
[Editorial in Atlanta CoustituLion.1
The enormous sunis received by the
goverinent-amounting to over ftur
hundred and fifty million dollars from
internal revenue and nearly as niuch
from customhouse receipts, and other
sources, shows that nearly two-thirds
of the currency passes through the
federal treasury every year. In fact,
we may say that the currency of th-s
country is annually collected and di
tributed by the government. It does
not matter what happens to trade, to
business or to individual enterprises,
whether large or small. This process
of grinding goes on from year to year.
One hundred million is paid out an
ually to the soldiers for pensions.
other hundred million to improve
and harbors, for the benefit of
you- and navy consumes ano
ities, slice. And the civil
that. Beral oflicers, another
and then *d what is left after
paN o. Yons dispensed by
congress tv gqseszexcept the far
mer. To use 'very coVnmon phrase,
he gets the goose.
When we consid:.that' it requires
more than the aggreste anouut of
the circulating medium.%f the country
to move the crops of the country-and
that be has to wait until all this money
passes through the treasury of the
United States, and that then the spec
ulator, who stands between the m1ov
ing of the crops and the treasury, is
to be sati:,ied before there is anything
left for the farmer, we need no longer
wonder at the scarcity of mitoney where
it is most needed by the farmer.
The -law is so arranged that he can
not get a dollar of .l!l this money from
the government without p:rrting wit h
the produce he has raised. He is pro
hibited from borrowing money on his
land. If the speculator gets into trou
ble by reason of tight money, the gov
ernent is ready to pay him 00,0 i0,
000 in money, in premiums, on his
bonds, or in anticipation of interest.
But the farmer must part wi.hI his
crop, at the price fixed by some11 one
else, and if it is half what it cost him
to make it, it hais to go-an d there is
no help for it.
WVho can call to mind11. a single in
stance where our congress or the pres
ident. or the secret ary of the treasury.
any of them, h:ave made a single move
to financially relieve the farmer.
Speeches and appeals are made daily
to pay pensions, to silence commerce,
to help manufactures, to keel) up tihe
army and navy and for the relief of t lie
bondholder or the banks. All thc
farmer gets is emp)ty promises made on
the stump jutst before elections.
And yet the annual product from tihe
farms of the United States is the
source of all our wealth, antd but for
what they furnish the whole govern
ment would collapse in a short time.
Trhese are facts, and fine-spun theories
may be written or spoke'n, but these
facts cannot be wiped out.
Whatever else is done with our
money the farmers have but a ptoor
showing at it, and hence have but lit
tIe of it.
The Rtesult of the.Silver Eiln.
The Bevier A ppeal goes for the Silver
bill in the following manner:
The new silver law which the people
were led to believe of great benefit to
them, has proven to be a miserable fail
ure. Under the workings the suppjly
of money in circulation has diminished
rather than increased and the people
are more than ever at the mercy of
Wall street. Sin.ce it went into effect,
fhe Secretary of thbe Treasury has been
appealed to relieve the stringency in
the money market and he to) relieve it,
has purchased 64O,00,000. Enited

-- But a large number of the people,
however, have not been at all disap

SAM JONES IN TEXAS.
Ile Pitches Into the Little Foot Sinners.
A Tyler, Texas, special thus reports
Sam Jones: He said: The man who
says he wants to be good and cannot,
lies. The man who stays in the church
fiv-e years and says he has done his
best to be a Christian and has failed, is
a liar.
I have some regard for infidels who
offer reasons against religion, but a lit
tle Tyler infidel who was never 50
miles from home, and has never read
anything worth reading, and yet has
found out that there is no Godl, is
about big enough for fish-bait. I catch
them sometimes when I am fishing for
sinnors, but never string them-I throw
them in the bucket for bait.
No man can tell the truth and say he
has put religion to the test and found
it a failure. You little Tyler infidel
you little narrow-eyed fol, a fly can
sit on your nose and paw you in one
eye and kick you in the other. Such a
man can look through a keyhole with
both eyes at the same time, and not be
cross-eyed, either. Some of these p-ople
criticise and denounce mie. I want
every such infidel, every old drunkard
everv old gambler to denounce ine.
The ia ledictions of the bad are better
than the praises of the good, and more
convincing that I am right. Test the

Hydrophobia Not Fatal.

Judge HIaskeI'j .eply to R. if. Charle.'
Le-:ter-. Not Carmpaign.
Charles, of Darihgton county, recently
aIdresscd an open letter throu-i the
News and Courier to Judge 1askell,
anti-Tilinain candidate for governor,
askig hi,m to answer publicly this in
quirv:
"Do you rest your prospect of elee
tion solely on the white Democratic
vote, or do you and your friends intend
to SupI)!ement your present following
by an appeal to the Republican or ne
gro vote and to the machinery of the
election laws?"
WANTS TIlE NEIRo VOTE.
-The News and Courier will publish
to-norrow Judge Haskell's answer, in
which hesavs:
Yes, weask for the vote. not only of
every white Democrat, but of every
colored Democrat, and every white or
colored Republican entitled under the I
laws of thisState to vote. We ask them
to vote for us because we believe that
our ticket is composed of men who
earnestly desire good government, and
who will, to the best of their a,ility,
administer for the good of the whole
people, in obedience to the pledges put
forth in the platform and utterances of
the Democratic party established in
1876. On the other hand, we advise all
citizens, without regard to party and
race, to vote against the Tillwan party,
which has repudiated, overthrown and
trampled under foot those solemn
pledges which should bind every Dem
ocrat in this State, and which are
essential alike to the welfare and pros
perity of either and both races.
GETTING HOTTER.
The campaign is getting hotter every
day.
Capt. Tillman said to-day that he ex
peeted to be governor if there was a fair
election. The Haskell party claim that
they are getting strength.
The negroes are keeping very quiet.
TH E SENTIMENT IN SPALTANBURG.
SI.AITANI-G, S. C., Oct. 23.-It is
an exceedingly hard matter to gauge
the public sentiment in this section as
to the Haskell movement. The party
does not make much show of numeri
eal strength here, but all talk of it as
amounting to nothing and any slight
ing comment would seem to be cer
tainly a mistake. The movement ap
peals to the vis inertia of a large class
of citizens, who, while they acknow
ledge a sufficient obligation of party
fealty to restrain them from a.ny active
opposition to the regular nominees,
vet feel such an aversion to Tillman
and his methods that they will stay
away from the polls on election (lay.
MEN ARE NON-CQMIT.ATTAL.
One repeateatedly meets a man whom
lie supposed to be regular who, in casu
al conversation, will drop some such
remark as the followin:g: "I anm not
saying much, and I don't propose to
commit miyself yet, but I don't care if
Haskell is elected." The signs of the
time point to a strong probability that
very many Domocratic votes will not
be polled on election day. If the
H-askell ites should nmake any trade with
the negro vote they would be dloing all
in their powver to soldify the regular
Democratic vote against themselves.
The Haskell leaders have been wise to1
avoid aysuch coaliticn.

At the Head of Democracy.
[Fromi the Atlanta Constitution.]
The one leading Democrat who seems
to be taking an active and personal in
terest in the political situation and its
p)osssbilities is governor David Bennett
Hill of New York.
The fact is encouraging, for not even
Mir. Tilden, as famed as he was for
dealing with the p)ractical sidle of poli
tics, po)ssessed in a greater degree the
faculty of organization. Recently,
when there was danger of discord in
the party in New York city and trouble
brewing in some of the Congressional
districts, Governor Hill wvent to the
metropolis, called the party leaders and
the disaflected Denmocrats together,
smoothed over the troubles, restored
harmony, and arranged for a Demo
cratic victory in the city.
We say, therefore, that is encourag
ing wvhen a Democrat is sincere and as
successful as Goavernior Hill takes the
field. It is an examiple that mnay weill
be followed at this time by other lead
ing D)emocrats.
Turn his attentioni first to Ohio, Gov
ernor Hill will make five speeches in
that State. Trhe Democrats of other
States will be glad to knowv that he is
going there, and that he is wvillinmg to
go wherever his presence and his Coun
sel can aid the Demiocratic party.
Governor Hill is a leader who knows
nothing of defeat.

WHY DO NOT WOMEN WEV? r(
Is it Wholly the Fault of Men, or are Wo
men to BTae?-Perhaps Thwre Are
Not Enou;gh 'Un- to go
Around.
It requires considerable tem1rity to
recomm111Hend to the attention of a read- '
ing publc alrealy distracted with a
prulonged and hysterical diCUsussin (if
the question, "Is Marriage a Fail
ure?" the consideration of another c
question antedating the former il se- a
quence if not in importance, namely:
"Why Women do Not Marry or
rather why so few in proportion to
their numbers attain the dignity of
wifehood.
But an ingenious man correspondent
of The Pall Mall Gazette has thrown
down the grantloet by declaring with a
ihe assurance pl(cuiar to his sex that
tlhe re?ason is simply becaunise men do e
not propose, supporting his promise t
by a collateral assertion to the effect
that men do not propose because one
half of the women world is too modest t
to attract and the other half not mod- c,
est enough to win the regard of the su
perior creatures of the genus home.
"Tvas ever thus since the days of the h
feasting of forbidden fruit in the gar- t
dell, woman is always the offender,
the originator and precipitator of disas- ic
ter. -
With all due respect to the Gazette's
"Modern Daniel come tojudgnent,"
it is safe to assert that tie real reason a
of the celibacy of women is not due to ei
their own deficiency in grace or person
or manner, but simply to the fact that
there are not men enough in the world
to marry. Go where you will-to the a
seashore, in the mountains, to recep- c
tions, balls, teas, any of the important
functions of social life where men and u
women are gathered together-the men
are in the minority. 0
It is safe to premise that not one 1
woman in fifty ever lived to be 40 years si
old without receiving one or more pro- a:
posals of marriage, and not one in 500 c
may be found who might not have re- g
ceived more offers than'she did if she a
had not avoided them with all a h
wolan's kindly tact and diplomacy. i
In the same ratio that the old chivalric g
adoration for women has diminished "
among men a certain dignity and C
strength las developed among wo- c.
men.
The avenue of employment, useful- b
ness and honor that the necessity of d
woman has opened and is continually
widening make some future possible n
for every woman of intelligence besides n
that compassed by the clear starching
of one man's linen and the cooking of
one man's dinners to that standard of
excellence established by the way his
mother did it. 'Marriage is to many
women the interruption rather than 0
the consummatiomi of her ambition, and 0
she is inclined to weigh well in her Y
mind the worth of the man who lion- a
ors her wvith his regard before she reli- g
quishes interests endeared to her to
bear his name, provide for his home ti
and rear his children, all for the sake E.
of support, in many cases less satisfac- el
tory than she could if untrammelled, ti
secure for herself and for his love, '
which sometimes outlasts the decay of h
her beauty and survives the fascination P
of the first fair face that comes under I
his observation and frequently does "
not.
As has been already stated, there are
miore wvomnen qualified to become comn
petenlt wives than there are men capa- d
ble of developing into worthy husbands. -
In every group) of children, girls and c
boys in the same circumstances of life Si
and stubjected to the same influences, a -
greater proportion of girls grow up into P
sweet, womanly women there are of
boys who develop into honorable. i
successful men. Formerly there was
no alternative but for the girls to wed
the boys, worthy or unworthy. A
woman unwed was a woman dishonor
edI. The old maid's prayer for "Oh,
amny man; good Lord," was uncon
sciously the desire of every girl's innert
consciousnIess. Nowv the stigma of dlis
honor has been removed from the brow a
of the spinster, and the petition is ci
changed from "any one" to "the one, r
good Lord"; for, in spite of being "
bracketed with senior wranglers; hold- g
ing p)rofessorships and offices of homnor '
and trust, notwithstanding the writing ri
of books, atnd the p)erfection of great S
enterprises by wvoman, the woman's it
heart vibrates just as sweetly, as ten
derly, as gladhly to the touch to true C]
love as in the days when Adam won his
consort in the garden, when Paul wooed
Virginia and Siegfried kissed Brunihil
da's silent lips to life and love.
Nowv the average woman of inItelli
genice realizes that thle unimarried girl
has tile best of it. As some one has I
said, "In the soul of every unwon wo ci
man there lies eternal youth." Wi thlin
her hleart is hidden still the holy of
holies, violated by no high priest, ho0w
ever righlteous, wherein golden-winged
echerubim preside over the sanctity ofg
her womanhood. SheC is, as a rule,u
fresher and fairer and better dressed a
than her married sister in the same cir- e
cumstances, stronger in body, brighter
in inteliect. Walking thle floor nights i
with teething 1 ab'ies and crying one's II
eye~s out over husbands that stay out at
the club until the keyh ole is a whirl- a
inig Cahrn whe, are not conducive
to hlealthl or beauty. The unmiarried
woman reads and sttudies more than
tile matrons find time to do, with the \
children and tIle marketing and tihe:
husbands and the social dudes. She
rides and rows and runs, thinks n
and travels and lives. If she has a
moneys he is to be envied of the i
gods. If she hasn't she sets about
earning it in tile manner most conge- e
yally in her own adorning if she will,
ithout giving an account to any one
her purchasers or buying a cheapor
)nnet but Johnnie has to have shoes

iires something besi.lesa tailor's sand

?au who dreams all women are readv
wed him, a widower with small
ii1dren who is looking for a nurse or
gourmet who is seeking a cook to
)mvince the style of old maid that she
a blighted being.
As for those who have old maidism
irust upon them-there are hundreds
sweet-hearted, womanly women to
bon wifehood and motherhood be
ng by all that is worthy in instinct
id pure in purpose who are cheated
it of their birthright by the lack of
iough men worthy to touch the hem of
icir garments, by designing and false
aarted women, who bear off matri
onial prizes only to be unfaithful to
te husbands and neglectful of the
ildren; and by the conditions under
hich we live, which enable the girls
ith money and influence to secure
usbands in ainost mercenary way, to
ie inspiration of ranters on the "Is
arriage a Failure" question, the cyn
isn of men and the despair of wo
en.
The question, "Why do you not
arry?" was asked a young woman,
id she answered, "I cannot earn
iough to support two yet."
To a young man the same question
as propounded, and the reply was:
The ones we want will not marry us,
ad the ones we might have we do not
ire for."
When the reaction comes from this
aniarriageable age, when men and
omen mutually require less of each
Jher in the marriage vows, when wo
en do not look upon husbands as
fety deposits of wealth where drafts
e cashed on sight, when men explain
trefully their resources to their wives,
ving them their share of the income
freely and unrestrainedly as they
lp themselves to their own allowance
stead of doling out the shekels nig
trdly, as to beggars upon the high
ay, and when the little god of love
!ases to be so mercenary and so mali
ous, hurling his darts at random
-nong the people. causing the impossi
le and unattainable to be ever the
sirable, there will be more giving in
iarriage, more solemnity in its cere
ionies, less talk of its fairlure, and
Lore devotees to its covenants.

and colored carpenters and masons
working together on the same build
ings in every Southern town. I see
colored draymen, colored porters, col
ored barbers all about. Up North they
will call you Mr. Johnson or Mr. Jack
son, but that is abou.t all. Down here
they call you Tom and Dick and Bob,
but that is not all. They will befriend
you and protect you. Now let me ad
vise you to keep out of politics. Some
of you have been voting and voting
ever since the war, and generally you
have been voting right against your
Southern friends, and it has never done
you any good. I don't advise you to
be Democrats nor Republicans, but
always vote for the man who stands
fairest in good works; vote for the man
who has thi respect of the community
in which he lives; vote for the man
that good men vote for. You have no
time to devote to politics. Work,
work, work and save your mon6y- and
before anybody knows it buy you a lot
and build you a little house and own
it, and plant trees and vines around it,
and you will feel more like somebody
than you ever did in your life. I am
proud to know that so many of you are
doing that around Cartersville."
That preacher is doing good, and he
ought to be employed to travel all over
the Stateand talk that way. A thought
ful gentleman remarked to-day that
Shields had more sense than half the
member3 of the American Congress,
and was doing infinitely more good.
I believe that the day is near at hand
when the Southern negroes will feel
identified with the whites in every
thing, including politics, and then
there will be no further discussion of
the race problem. Even now it is rare
to find one who proposes to vote for
Major Hargrove, the Republican can
didate for Congress in this district,
whereas he used to hold them solid.
Great changes are going on, both
North and South. National politics
are changing base, and finding new
centers. The tariff will divide the two
great parties in the next election. Mc
Kinley or no McKinley will be the bat
tle cry, and both sides will find adhe
rents above and below the line and de
stroy sectionalism. Then the war will
be over and national fraternity be re
stored. What a glorious picture! "Let
us have peace," said General Grant,
but he died without seeing it.
This reminds me of a story that was
told me not long ago about Mr. Rich
ard's dream. Mr. Richards is a genial
genius who superintends the water
works in Atlanta. He visited Boston
as a delegate to the great waterworks
convention, wvhere the superintendents
and engineers of the craft had gathered
from every respectable city in the
union. It was about the time that Mr.
Cleveland restored the rebel flags and
Fairchild and Foraker and company
raisedl such a howl about it. The pres
ident had to take them back and put
them away in the old garret again.
The bloody shirt was raised all over
the North and all the Republican
papers screeched amazing, especially
those in Boston. Nevertheless Boston
gave a banquet to the watermen, and
after the ladies had retired the gentle
men were called on for speeches and
talks and stories. -By and by Mr.
Richards was called up)on to say some
thing of Georgia, for Atlanta, or for the
South generally. He is a very modest
man and tried to excuse himself, but
as they pressed himi, lie said he was
not feeling ";ell and had a strange
dream last night that troubled him,
and lhe would be glad if some Joseph
could be found who would interpret it.
Of course they clamored for his
dream, and lie said: "I dreamed that
I was dead, and had found my way to
the gate of heaven, and there was ar
rested by the guards and asked foa
credentials. In much confusion I ex
amined my p)ockets and found a late
copy of the Atlanta Constitution. The
guarde were dIressed in blue uniforms,
andl, to my surprise, hiad guns in their
hands. They looked at my paper and
threw it aside with contempt. I tried
again, ane'l found the New York Trib
une, which seemed to nullify their dis
pleasure, and they gave me permission
to go in nnd look arnnnd awhHle and I
wasiput in charge of another soldier in
blue with instructions to show me
through heaven and bring me back in
an hour, for.1 was a suspect. The place
was beautiful beyond all conception,
and I forgot myself in a delirium of joy
and wonder at what I saw. Every
thing and everybody was &essed in
blue. There were thousands of them
froficking and sporting, and I obseryed
that the favorite game was football,
which was played with skulls. I sup
posed they vere the skulls of lost sin
ner's, but my guide informed me they
were the skulls of the rebels that were
killed in the war. For the first time I
began to realize that rebellion was the
unpardonable sin, and that I, too,- was
amiong the lost. Suddenly I heard the
booming of cannon and the terrific ex
plosion of musketry in the distance,
and my guide, seeing my alarm, told
me it was only a sham battle; that it
was a favorite sport to fight over the
great battles, such as Gettysburg and
Petersburg and Vicksburg and Fort
Donaldson. I inquired whether they
ever fought over the battles of Manas
sas and Chickamauga and Chancellors
ville and Gaines' Mill. He replied
that he thought not-he didn't remem
ber any such battles. Strangely be
wildered, I turned to my guide and
said, "My friend, tell me, is this
heaven?" "Yes," said he; "this is the
G. A. R. heaven-the heaven of the
Grand Army; but St. Peter has a little
annex over yonder. Grant is over
there and Lincoln and Lee and Stone
wall Jackson and many others. Grant
was in here for a few days, but he kept
on saying, 'Boys, let us have peace,'
and so we fired him out."
By this time we had returned to the
gate and I said to the sentries: "Is
there not another gate somewhere that
I-can enter and see St. Peters and
Grant and Lee and Stonewall Jackson?"
"Oh, you are for peace, too, are you?"
said they, and with that they gave me
a kick and such a thrust in the side
that it awakened me and to my great
joy I found myself in the land of the
living where peace may be sought and
pardon found notwithstanding my re
bellion. Now, my friends, please tell
me where is Joseph?"
The newspaper men were there, of
course. They saw tbe point and joined
in the cheering, and many crowded
around Mr. Richards and congratulated
him and gave three cheers for the rebel
who was ejected from heaven in a
dream. -BILL AEP..
Judge Appointed by Lincoln.
[New York Herald.1
The death of Justice Miller leaves
Justice Field the sole survivor of Pres
ident Lincoln's appointtees to the
Supreme bench.
It is a noteworthy fact that Mr.
Lincoln filled more vacancies on that
bench than any other President. He
appointed three justices in 1862
Swayne, Davis and Miller-and one
Field-early in 1863. In 1864 he made
his fifth appointment, that of Salmon
P. Chase to succeed Roger:~B. Taney as
chief justice. All of these were chosen
from the West--Swayne and Chase
from Ohio, Davis from Illinois, Miller
from Iowa and Field from California.
Justice Miller served twenty-eight
years, and Justice Field is now in his
twenty-seventh year of service. Their
term covers what is perhaps the most
important constitutional epoch in our
history-the exposition of the three
post war amend ments, and in that ex
position no judge has taken so prom
inent a part as they have.
The Holy Carpet in Quarantine.

"The Holy Carpet,'' which is now
being brought back to Cairo, where it
will have to submit to the indignity of
quarantine for fifteen days, is one of
those which are periodically taken to
Mecca, there to be sanctified, and is
made of a thick sort of silk, embroider
ed with letters of gold, each letter
being two feet in length and two inches
broad. It covers what is known as the
Beat-Allah or inner sanctuary of the
temple.

Good Reason for Fear.
Goslin-It's queer you women are so
afraid of mice.
Miss Any-Not at all. We have
reason for fear. Why, a mouse was

its stomach was found a woman's
dress, including her shoes.
Six new States have been admitted

number will be easy to remember.
These new States add twelve senators
to the Senate.
This is a trait acknowledgement that
all that has ever been written is of no
service in this line, and implies astrong
inference that whatever may be written
will serve no better purpose. "Repre

SUICIDE AS A FASHION.
Young Nobles Apparently Suffering from
an Epidemic of Desperation.
Tbe most remarkable news that has
Df late come by cable that concerning
the many suicides in Berlin of young
men of noble families. Day after day
the World has published despatches
telling of the deaths of those who with
ipparently the most brilliant prospects
before them, choose to end their lives
n order to avoid either the shame of
exposed immorality or prospective
bankruptcy. Within the past month
there have bein no less than three
suicides in the Prussian capital of men
bigh in the highest military positions.
The first was that of Count von
Schleinitz, the son of the Governor of
Silesia, who had run through a large
rortune in gambling at cards and on the
turf. He was the best gentleman rider
in Germany, and though he lost con
siderable sums of money at the races,
b B could have still retained a large for
tune but his mania for cards. A few
weeks ago he found himself at his wits
ends for money. He was driven to such
atraits that he had to borrow $20 from
a servant at his club. With this he
went to a fashionable club on the Unter
den Linden, where, seating himself on
a divan in the public room, he put a
revolver to his-head and blew out his
brains. When his pockets were ex
amined it was found that he had no
money whatever and that he owed
300,000 marks to his aristocratic friends,
which he. could not pay.
The next suicide in Berlin was that
Df Baron von Loeper, the hero of
several notorious affairs and a well
known man about town. He was an
ex-Lieutenant of Hussars, but had been
compelled to withdraw from the army
by reason of his debts and several mis
conduct. He was a member of one of
the most aristocratic families of Ger
many. He could find no way out of
his difficulties except suicide, and his
body was found hanging from the
limb of a tree in the Oranienburger
Wald. He is said fo have been driven
to suicide by losses at horse racing and
baccarat.
Next came the suicide of Count von
Kleist, which resulted . indirectly from
a drunken spree. Filled with wine, he
attempted to reach his room at a hotel
near the Unter den Linden with. a
strange woman and was refused ad
mittance by the porter. The Count
theredpon flew into passioni quarrelld
with the porter and threw him over
the baluster. The porter subsequently
died and Count von Kleist was ar
rested, and it was while he was await
ing trial that he determined to avoid
further scandal by taking his.own life.
Count von Kleist had in his early
youth the most brilliant prospects. His
great-grandfather was the great soldier
poet whose hand during the revolution
had held the sword and swept the lyre
with equal skill, and who died with his
face to the foe in defense of his countr-y.
His family belonged to the ancient
hereditary nobility of Pomerania. It
was rumored that he was at one time
engaged to an American heiress, but
the affair was broken off.
Anotiher suicide was that of Count
Philip of Schaumburg, a young man of
only twenty-two, a son of Prince Frede
rick Wilhelm of Hanau, who ou his
part was the fifth son in'morganatic
marriage of the last Elector of Hesse I
and Gertrude Falkenstein, afterwards
Princess of Hanau. Up to a year ago
the Count belonged to a Saxon regi- -
ment of hussars, but he left the army
on account of ill-health and went to -
study in Munich. Three months ago
he returned to Berlin, where he made
the acquaintance of a young chorus
girl at the Friedrich Wilhelmstadt
Theatre named Elise Helle and fell in
love with her to such a degree that he
wrote from Vienna a month before
his suicide that he could not live with
out her.
Count Schaumberg'soon returned to
Berlin and took up his residence in the
house of his lady love's mother. There
his relations with Frl. Helle seem to
have attracted the attention of the
neighbors because of the numerous
qnarrels of the couple, he being ex
ceedingly jealous. Finally, after a
night of scenes of jealousy, when Frl
Helle had retired, the Count entered
her room and with the words, "You
wished to see me once more," he drew a
revolver and shot himself through the
head. He left a letter in which he
asked his father to care for FrI. Helle
in the future, a
The last case of suicide in Berlin high -
life was that of Major von Normann.
The officers sent a round robin to the
Major demanding that he should, take
the alternative, either committing sui
cide within an hour or being brought
up in a police court. He chose the
former, taking poison, and his dead
body wa found stiff and cold.
In what connection the other recent
suicides in Berlin can be classed it is
difficult to say. Not long ago a young
German-American lady, a student- of
music, suddenly took her own life, and
two weeks agoFrl. Hock, a well known
actress, committed suicide on account
of disappointment in a love aff'air. The
list would :probably be enlarged if the
statics of Berlin suicides were comn
pleted.

Miss Jessie Taylor, a daughter of W.

day which she raised herself. It was
grown from the top of a pineapple re
ceived last spring. She planted the
top in a box, and left it on the porch.
The fruit that she enjoyed yesterday
was the result of her trouble.
