BERKs COUNTY must have some ex.
citement, but it can not perform the new
feat of riding two horses going in different
directions at one and the same time. So
long as it had Keim, the goose egg eater
found life such burden that he could
not attract the attention due to his great
feat. But now that the distributor of
postoffices is no longer target for pub
lie craftsmanship, the goose egg eater
piucks up new courage and takes his
place among the natural curiosities, and
the principal attraction of community
which insists on amusement, but doesn't
want it in unduly large doses.

George Geiger jumps From q second Story
Window.
This morning about s o'clock George
Geiger, living at 41O South Beaver street,
jumped out of the second. story front win
dow and broke both the bones of his left
leg, between the knee and ankle. Mr..
Geiger is a harmless, inoffensive man, of
impaired intellect, and is known to
almost everybody in town, because
of the cruel sport the boys make
of him by running after him, teas
ing and Irritating him by calling him
"red, white and blue His family,
knowing how excited he becomes under
there taunts, have done all they could to
keep him at home. Sometimes they lock
the doors and hide the keys, aud on more
than one occasion he has got out of the
house through the windows on the first
floor. This morning he was locked in an
upstairs room and his hat was hidden
away; but being determined to 90 up
street, he lifted the window sash, climbed
out and rested his feet on the top of the
shutters of the parlor window. In this
position he was discovered, but be.
fore he could be secured he jumped to the
brick pavement below, a distance of six
teen feet. He fell, but in moment was
on his feet again and attempted to walk,
but having broken his leg in falling, the
bones protruded through the skin, and
after walking few steps he again fells
He was carried into the house bleeding
copiously and DR.. NJ. L. Herr was sent for
who set tho broken bones, and the patient
is dong as we'll as can be expected.

IT has been discovered in the trial of
Jere Dunn, the Chicago rounder who
killed Elliott, that the former now has
all the friends, while the latter has few,
or none. This is the old, old story. 1t
is simply that when the king is dead the
wish is long life to the king. The dead
prize6ghter can no longer amuse his noisy
followers. His feats, his jests, his stor
les, his prowess can no longer amuse OF

owned his allegiance. So the man who

fonCec0sL,

Reformed Church Messenger.
The Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ
without the coming of the Holy Ghost
would have left the world in state of
dreary orphanage. A quaint old writer
like Gurnall, might then have set forth
the state of the case by saying He had
gone into Heaven and drew tho ladder OF
Jacob up after Him. At any rate all
communication with that blest abode
would have been cut off from man. There
could not have been even proper know,
ledge of Christ, for our Saviour tells His
disciples that they could not come to full
appreciation of His person and work
without tho advent of the Comforter. But
were knowledge in the way of truth &C
quired by the mind, was not the only
thing requisite to our salvation. Tho
communication of new life, the purging
away of sin by the application of the
blood of atonement. and the complete
sanctification of our being were necessary
to a real historical redemption and this
was to be effected only by the out pouring
Of the Holy Spirit. Il is easy to see in
this view the momentous import Of the
event We celebrate on each anniversary Of.
the day of Pentecost.

He was a cowardly and cruel muir
derer, to be sure, who was carried kick
ing and screaming, yelling, biting and
trembling, to the g.llows in New York
state yesterday; and the other three or
four men in different parts of the coun-
try who furnished occupation for
the hangman on this black Friday,
of the month of flowers and natural
beauty, no doubt deserved to suffer the
extreme penalty of the law. But if this
particular penalty and even the later
so called private way of executing it, has
any tendency to deter men from capital
crimes, the influence of it is not notice
able in the returns of criminal news.

THE death by suicide of Amasa Stone,
the Cleveland millionaire, is one of those
events which overthrOws the accepted
theories concerning self-destruction.
With every outward advantage of
wealth, position, occupation, with no
greater bodily inirmities than naturally
belonged to his time of life, he yet
choose, voluntarily, to leave all this and
take prematurely the leap in the dark.
With career almost uninterrupted by
failure, there yet came to him in his later
days some financial difficulties which
involved the honor of others, his own
remaining unstained. This brought de-
preston and, being brooded over. led
him to seek that relief which seemed to
him beyond human power. Mr.. Stone
leaves an enviable name behind him. His
success never narrowed him. He did
not forget his obligations to society, but
as he had been freely dealt with in the
bestowal of the gifts of fortune, so he
gave back with liberal and thoughtful
benevolence. That such men should
choose death by suicide has had much to
do with softening the old feeling which
existed toward this method of death,
until the privileges of the cemetery and
the last ministrations OF the church are
no longer denied to the weary mortal
who seeks relief from present ills by a
flight to those he knows not of.
