Hold On to the Old Name.

1t is proposed TO have postoffice estab-
lished at Tybee. A petition for that pur
pose was sent to the Postmaster General
yesterday. The petitioners asked that the
office be called ocean City If they will
give the matter a second thought they will
undoubtedly admit that they made mis-
take i'll proposing another name for Tybee.
There are already a great many places
along the coast which have names of which
ocean" forms a part. Ocean Springs,
Ocean Grove and Ocean View are some Of
them. To call Tybee ocean City" there
fore, would add nothi & to the place. 1t
would rather belttle it,
Tybee is a name that is known all over
the world. 1t is marked on all the maps
and all the mercantile exchanges are
familiar with it. 1t is very good name,
and one that suits Tybee Island very we'll
Nobody who knows anything about geogra-
ply has to inquire where it is If a post
office established on the island were to be
named Ocean City" it would be years be-
fore its location would become gem
orally known. Everybody would ask when
they heard the name: where is ocean
CityF
The proposed change would create con-
fusion. There would be marked opposition
to it. In this city the name of Tybee would
continue to be used, and it is doubtful if
either the government or the general public
would accept the change. The lighthouse
would still be known as the Tybee light and
the island as Tybee
What then is there to be gained by the
proposed changei As far as any one can
see it would be absolutely of no benefit. In
fact it might do the place harm. Tybee is
too old name to be got rid of easily, and,
besides, there is no good reason for getting
rid of it. No name SO satisfactory and ap-
propriate could be substituted for it.

New Wrinkles in Suicides.

A good many wOuld-be suicides seem to
have abandoned the common methods of
trying to kill themselves. They don't lodge
bullet in their heads, or throw themselves
into the river, nor do they swallow poison,
or hang themselves to a convenient limb
They have adopted methods which are more
novel, but less effectual
The other day, in Cincinnati, morbid
jeweler determined TO end his miserable ex-
istence, but he didn't succeed. In one hand
he took a reamer, long bevele1 tool of the
finest steel, used to enlarge holes, while in
the other he took mallet, and placing the
reamer as he supposed over his heart he
looked his wife squarely in the eyes and
began to maui on the reamer, which made
a direct cut for his heart, but struck rib
and glanced off an inch above that organ.
The jeweler still lives
An instance even more remarkable is that
of the person who some weeks ago at
tempted to end his life by holding his
breath. This would appear to be a very
simple and effectual way, but it has its dis
advantages. For instance, the man who
attempts it is likely to be subjected to an
overpowering desire to take one good, long
breath before he quits the world
The theory is held by some that suicides
and would-be suicides are either partially
or wholly insane. There may be some
truth in this, particularly when it is APP
piled to those who resort to such
methods as have been mentioned /;
but whether the theory is correct or not, it
is certain that the act Of taking ones life
very COW ardly one. As a general thing,
the suicide not only evades in this way the
duties and responsibilities of life, but he
throws upon other shoulders loads which he
himself ought to have the bravery and the
manhood to carry. Instead Of looking up
some new method of killing himself, the
would-be suicide would do we'll to reflect
that he is not the only person who is sur
rounded with difficulties, and should man
fully bear his burdens.

President Making in South America

PRESIDENT Making In south Am erica.
This is not the only country which elects
president this year. Several of the South
American republics have lately held presi-
Dental elections, and Others will hold them
before the year is out.
Among those which have held elections
are Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia. In
Ecuador, Antonio Flores, who for four
years has been minister to France, was
elected, though the result has not been
officially announced Flores, however, de-
cares that he will not accept, and if the
affairs of the republic are in as bad con-
dition as represented, no one can blame
him. The present president, Camaano, is
said to have secured his office by throwing
dice for it with the half-dozen other candi-
dates, and the impression is that he will
now declare himself perpetual president.
In Bolivia there were two candidates, one
a millionaire and the other a soldier. Money
seems to have exerted as potent an influence
there as it does elsewhere, for it was con-
coded in advance that the millionaire would
receive a majority of the votes That fact,
however, has not impressed very strongly
the military candidate, whose friends de-
clare that he will be inaugurated by the
army whether he is elected or not.
Politics seems TO be in a very bad way in
some of the republics to the south of us.
In Mexico the election will occur in few
weeks, and there can be no doubt concern
ing the reelection of President Diaz, who has
served two terms, and would DO ineligible
for another were it not for a constitutional
amendment adopted last year. The fact
that this amendment was adopted by a very
decided vote for the express purpose of
making President Diaz eligible for third
term shows how popular his administration
is with the Mexicans
The terms of Office of the presidents of
the South American republics vary, though
four years is the general limit In Mexico,
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and
others, the term is four years; III Chill it is
five years, while in the Argentine republic
and in Colombia it is six years. The only
republic which holds presidential election
every other year is Venezuela.

HOW KILGoRE WAS PERSUADED
With Gen. Sheridan's Expressive Re-
mark About Texas.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-When the bill to re
create the grade of general of the army was
called up in the house last week, Mr.. Kiigore of
Texas was the most persistent director to its
consideration, and there seemed to be no possible
chance to induce him to Withdraw his obiec-
tions. Some headstrong member tried to bull
doze him, and this only made him the more
persistent. After others had tried to move the
Texan by threats and pleadings without sue
cess, Representative Macdonald of Minnesota,
a warm friend OF Kilgore, undertook the task.
"Kilgore," said Macdonald, Il understand
your opposition. 1t is not manly, and am sur
prised at you.
What do you mean?" inquired Kilgore.
Il mean that you ought not to allow that re-
Lsark of Gen. Sheridan's to rankle in your
bosom. 1t was doubtless uttered after long
Indian campaign, and before your state had
grown to its present proportions
lam still in the dark" said Kilgore, land
would like you to explain yourself.
Il meSn that Gen. Sheridan once said that if
he owned hell and Texas he would rent out
Texas and live in hell. Now, that was rough on
Texas, but am sure he would change his views
if he could visit you now
Kilgore laughed heartily and remarked:
We'll, I'll change my views and withdraw my
objections" He did So and the bill passed.

Young people who are engaged" will be

risburg, Pa, was sentenced to two months
imprisonment the other day for publicly
kissing the young lady whom he is to marry
When he was brought before the judge, he
explained that he was engaged to the young
lady, and had frequently kissed her in pri-
waite without protest. The judge was not
satisfied with the explanation, however.
Before passing sentence on the young man,
he gave him a lecture and advised him to
learn the difference between kissing young
lady in her own parlor and committing the
act of OSCILLATION in a public place. The

pretty as well as sweet, for whoever heard

not beautifula The New York World,
however in speaking of the young ladies at

probably more for the purpose of getting

was unknown until the other day, when
