Msj. Calkins, land Senator Jones, of Nevada,
Is my authority for it. lie saws the incident
actually happened in one of the little mining
towns Of his state. One night az the leading
saloon OF this little town IA party OF IA half
dozen were playing poker. Among the
players was very nice young fellow. Il grad
uate of Y ale College, and o man who had been
quite successful at mining, and had at the
same time made himself popular with his
fellows. Another member Of the party was A
one eyed stranger. and the rest was made up
OF other honest miners about the camp. The
play went on from early In the evening until
about midnight, and all this time the one
eyed man seemed TO get all the good hands.
Several times the college graduate thought he
saw that the man was cheating, but he did
not appear to notice il.
AT midnight the college graduate rose up
end quietly said: 'Gentlenen, we are all
tired playing, and some of us are about broke

some oysters and champagne. After we are

and the first man we catch cheating we will
shoot out his other eye. Wen. the motion
was carried, the oysters were eaten, and the
luck did change. The one-eyed man lost
every cent OF his winnings ana as daylight
broke through the dirty panes Of the saloon
windows he arose declaring himself dead

Epidemic OF Suicides.

Any one who will glance over a half
dozen leading newspapers on almost any
day will see the reports Of from eight to
twenty suicides. 1t is fair to assume
that there are many suicides which are
not reported to the press at all. The sui
cides in the United States for one year
may be numbered up in the thousands.
Often three or four are reported in one
city on the same day.
The suicides are from every walk of life.
Here, one who seems TO be able TO crafty
every wish tires OF the cares that beset
him or her. There, one of the middle
class is disappointed in love, or is defeated
in some long-cherished enterprise. A
poor invalid gives up to despair. A
pauper seeks TO fly from want and abuse.
Often an aged man puts an end TO his
already short lease of life, and occasion
ally one not beyond the years of childhood
voluntarily ends the life that has Just
begun.
There are a thousand things that ap-
parently lead people TO commit suicide,
yet not one Of them is sufficient TO justify
the deed. IL has been said that no one
with sound mind in II sound body wag
ever known TO take his or her life, but
this is hardly true. Physical suffering,
depressed spirits, disordered brain
makes people seek to end their ills and 10
find rest and peace in the grave. Many
seem TO realize that IL is more fearful TO
live than to die.
Philosophers. philanthropists and states
men have devised plans for preventing
people from taking their lives. In many
countries laws have been made providing
for the exposure of the bodies Of suicides
20 the public, or their submission to other
supposed punishmeuts or mdignities.
Those who make unsuccessful attempts
TO take their lives have been punished or
threatened with punishment. All these
measures have been Of no avail. and it
seems that the suicidal mania is steadily
increasing.
1t Is as much a question as It ever has
been, how shall this mania be treated ?
IL is impossible 10 eliminate from life all
the apparent causes OF suicides. 1t
seems that the only e1ectual remedy is to
teach people from the pulpit, through the
press, in schools, aud by al available
means higher conccptiors of the duties
and responsibilities Of life. The coward
ice, meanness, II you please, the crimi-
nality Of suicide, should be impressed on
all, especially on the young. Parents
should teach their children that Il Is their
duty 10 bear up under the sorrows,
the troubles, the disappointments

Miss Elizabeth Cleveland is occupying
more space in the newspapers, perhaps,
than is altogether agreeable to her or to
| ner brother, the President.
She is lady of considerable literary
ability, and has led a very active, and,
there is reason to think, a very useful life.
Nothing was heard of her, however, out
side the rather circumscribed limits in
which she moved until her brother be-
came a candidate for the Presidency.
The newspapers, however, have spoken
Of her very kindly ever since she has been
an occupant of the White House. They
have contained much that was very COM
plimentary to her. When it became
known that she intended to publish a
book there was great curiosity to know
something of it. 1t is. as everybody now
knows, volume Of essays on various
subjects, written doubtless by Miss Cleve-
land during her hours of leisure. Ex-
tracts from some OF these essays have
been published, and sentiments expressed
in two of them have been the occasion of
considerable criticism, of both Miss
Cleveland and her brother, of a rather
hostile kind.
The essays which excited these criti-
cisms deal with the liquor question and
with cOnventual life. These are questions
that are calculated to excite feeling, in
whatever way they may be discussed.
Miss Cleveland is strong opponent of
the liquor traffic, and she has no SYM
Dathy with cOnventual life, which she re-
CARDS as a stupendous sacrifice of energy
in vain.
Miss Clevelands opinions stand out
very clearly in her essays, and it is ex-
tremely probable that so far as her re-
ligious views are concerned she inherits
them, and shares them with her brothers
aud sisters. She does not express her
thoughts on religious subjects like one
having newly-acquired convictions. She
speaks as if she believes just what her an
cestOrs believed.
No one will question Miss CleYelands
right to entertain the opinions she does
on the subjects to which attention has
been directed, but there are those who
have doubted whether she has shown
Judgment in publishing them while occu-
pyIng the position of mistress of the
White House. There are many whose
position or whose duties bring them In
contact with Miss Cleveland who will
feel some constraint in her presence, per-
haps, because of the very pronounced
position which she has taken on matters
which they regard differently, and there
are others who will use her opinions for
the purpose of attacking the President
and his administration. But whether it
was good Or bad judgment that induced
Miss Cleveland to publish her book at this
tire, it is pretty certain that it will haYe
large sale.

TfONt tftt fcW AOfh QUIZ
The majestic medtations of the mugwumps
continue to be disturbed by Higgins. That
Objectionable being has not yet succeeded in
his fell design of turning out the Republicans
in the Treasury Department; but he is max
ing life mlserable for them, if the account of
his proceedings given by our esteemed con-
temporary, the EUsain0 Post, is correct. Ac-
cOrdng TO this authority. messengers, labor
ers, and Others complain that he goes about
corridors drawing his fOrefinger significantly
across his throat to indicate the process of de-
capitation. and muttering: You viii have to
go;' The Republicans must co." This sort
of thing naturally makes the Republicans In
the Treasury nervous.
Higgins is a well-lOoking man, and nothing
in his lineaments indicates that he has an un-
feeling heart. We cannot believe that he
jlbes at these poor fellows, the Republican Of
icehOlders. They have been pigeon livered
and chlcken-hearted since March 4. and it
would be wrong TO play upon their apprehen-
sions. But if Appointment Clerk Higgins
worries them, they should get out of the
Treasury. 1t Will be better for them to have
their heads off at once than to be frightened
to death lby Higgins. There is good deal of
sound sense in the mutteTings of higgins.

Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson to Equip
Travelling Singing Bands

Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, who is so widely
known for her charities. and is now living in
Stamford, Conn is contemplating an original
scheme for dong good. On the theory that
the old and stirring religious hymns which
were familiar in childhood, and from which
many people in later years drift 50 far away
that barely an echo of them remains in the
memory, would, il heard again, stir old recoi-
lections and reawaken religious sentiments
long dormant, she proposes to send musical
organizations through the country which Will
render the religious music not only in concert
halls, but in public places where masses of
people cOngregate.
Mrs. Thompson intends not only to organize
bands of sacred MINISTRIES to travel from place
to place, but desires to get together local COM
direction who will give sacred concerts. She
IS very much in earnest, and is fully deter
mined TO try the experiment.

is not only in the highest degree discredit-

point of view, but that it is foolish in

such energy on her ear that she Immediately
felt a strong pain and had not been able to
hear in that ear since. An examination of
the ear showed, indeed, that the tympannm
