Too Much Love.

A despatch TO the Baltimore Sun, from
Belair, Nd, says: Burton Cochran, aged II,
last Sunday attempted to commit suicide at
the residence OF VIM. O. Sheridan, near Belair.
The boy was employed In tho nelghborhood.
on Sunday morning he went to Mr.. shoridan's,
whore he picked up bottle Of laudanum and
drank nearly an ounce. 1t did not have the
desired effect and ho went away. At night ho
returned, and when near the house shot
himself with pistol in tho left side, an inch
below the heart. The ball passed through his
body and was extracted by DR.. r. D. Lee from
the back. The wound Is serious but not
necessarily fatal. On Tuesday States Attor-
ney Maynadier ordered an inquisition into his
sanity, and the Jury finding the boy affected
with a suicidal mania recommended his con.
flnement at an insane asylum. Judge Waters
thereupon ordered his commitment to the
Maryland Hospital.
Cochran's mind was unhinged by being
crossed In love. Ho had become enamored OF
little girl, fifteen years old, sisterin.law OF
Mr.. Sheridan, his former employer. The
young lady ceasing TO smilo on him, after
several threats to kill himself he made the at
tempt stated. Cochran's father formerly re-
sided in Belair, but is now In tho West. The
boy has no home, and no friends disposed to
take care of him. Since tho attempt on Sun
day he has declared his intention TO consum.
mato his purpose of suicide. He is now con-
fined in the sheriffs house, whore he Will be
kept until he can be removed to the hospital

possibilities which lie idly buried in the un

need ask permission of no man TO enrich our
selves till "Tyrian purple" shall no longar be
the proverbial expression for Southern com

The stingy Author.

San Francisco Post
Mark Twain sent a copy Of his latest manu-.
facture to the indianapolis Journal with re.
quest for notice, and the Journal complied
with the request, as follows:
Mr.. Twain is reputed TO be a gentleman OF
abundant means; by a life OF penury and
stinginess he has managed to get richer than
most people in his line OF business, and II he
wants newspaper putting he should pay for It,
Just as other business men do.
We have seen the same thing In the same
connection in the Reno Journal but we saw Il
in the indianapolis paper first Now, stngy,
or not stingy, we don't see why Clemens Is NOT

Lowell OVulltr,
In the entire length Of the North Pacific Rail-
road there is less than two miles of tunneling.
The length OF the various tunnels are as fol-
lows; Big Horn, !, 100 feet; Bozeman, 5000
feet; Mullan, $3.50 feet; Mullan grade, $50
feet and Blackfoot, 800 feet, making a total OF
$3.50 feet. About n mile east OF Mullen tun-
mel, which is in the main range, a cut Of 90
feet In depth and 200 feet in length passes
through white marble Of superior building
quality. The earnings OF the railroad for the
second week in July were $151 700; increase,
S96,941; increase, 81, ,414,1 ,1S7. The Improve
ment In the Yellowstone region caused by the
approach OF the railroad is illustrated by the
remark OF a resident in that part OF the coun
try, who said that II took 500 we'll armed men
to march down the Yellowstone In 1876, and
now one man unarmed can travel from one
end OF the valley TO the other and never be
every night in o comfortable bed at O hotel.

A Cancer Endemic.

Last week no less than eleven persons died
OF cancer in this city. II eleven persons had
died OF yellow fever or smallpox a sensation
would have been created, and yet neither OF
these diseases is as certainly fatal as cancer
and certainly not as much 10 be dreaded.
Within the past few years there has been an
alarming Increase In the number OF canceroua
diseases. There must be some active pre-.
disposing cause which medical science has
thus far failed TO discover, but which should
be more earnestly sought after than yet ap
nears TO have been done.

WE UNDERSTAND the Star to plead guilty
on behalf of Kaufman as to our charge that
he was displaced by his associates from the
business management of that decaying con.
cern on account of large defalcation oc-
curing under his auspices, but to plead also
that that fact is not competent evidence
for the defense in the Star-Routc cases
Well, in order to expedite the proceed
ings, we will admit all that.
But that was not the point We made at
all. Our point was simply that if Kauif-
man was, as we were Informed, temporarily
doing the editorial work of the Star, his
reputation as established by the act of his
own associates afforded all necessary evil
dence in rebuttal of its lies; whereby some
little trouble might be saved by simply
making profert of his aforesaid reputation
to rebut the Stars lies in bulk. And now
the Stars plea, translated into plain English,
is, that it.makes no difference if Kauffman's IS
reputation, based upon the circumstances
of his displacement by his own associates,
is all that we charge, the person who "has
edited the paper for fifteen years" is un-
willing to let any of the credit of its lying
escape him.
That is all right. We consent. II Mr..
Noyes insists on it We will checrfully give
him credit for not only his own lies, but
Kaufman's, too. 1t will probably all
stick in the family, anyhow.

matter Of profound national concern,
worthy of being reviewed and adjudged by
committee Of the Senate, or that the Win
dom committee was made up of men
capable of impertinent and gratuitous
interference in the personal affairs of
private persons Of comparative unimport-
ance.
We are not egotistical enough to admit
the former hypothesis, and therefore have
no choice but to adopt the latter.
The committee, having thus cavorted
into the newspaper forum, cannot complain
if it be compelled to encounter newspaper
methods. Under this system of procedure
it is our undoubted privilege to dissent
from the committees conclusion. The
imputation" cast by Mr.. A. c. Buell. was
simply statement of his personal opinion.
1t was sustained I" by all the "evidence" 4"
that was offered, which was simply that of
calling Mr. Buell. to say in the committee
room, under oath, that he believed what
he had from time to time published in q
newspaper.
Mr.. Buell having made this statement of
his personal opinion under oath, no "evi-
dence" was offered in rebuttal, except that
of the persons involved, and even their
"evidence" in rebuttal was not taken by
the committee, but telegraphed by them
selves to their respective papers, and con-
sisted merely Of such billingsgate as they
could invent on the spur of the moment.
These facts place Mr.. Windom's commit
tee in light that is as disgraceful to the
Senate as it is ilattering to the hired libel
lers whom it temporarily dignifes. They
teach, however, one important lesson,
namely: That hereafter no witness sum
moned by Senate committee can be
obliged to respond unless he receive in ad-
vance responsible guarantee that the
committee will not, at the prompting Of
any pair of hired libellers who may have
the ear Of one or moro Of its members,
blackguard him in its report
On the whole it may be distinction to
be blackguarded by a select committee OF
the Senate of the United States; but If so,
il is distiction which, for the sake of the
respect we would like 10 have for that body,
we would willingly forego.

well, have you got through
"Yes, all through"
"And is the fence u foot. on his

No; he has two feet Of yours, and
