Tired Of Life.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. IA special to
the Itess from New Lisbon. o., says: A
desperate suicide occurred here Thursday
morning. Several days ago Mrs. Thomp-
son gave birth to II child and her husband
was telesraphed for. Wednesday night
he returned to town, but instead of going
home went to saloon, where he
got drunk The conduct of the husband
preyed upon the mind of the mother SO
much that she arose from her bed Thurs
day morning and went to u small stream
near the house, and, with the babe I'M her
arms, laid down where the water was but
two or three feet deep and drowned both
herself and the child.

-Iilden carried New York by 32,.
900 on Il platform which declared for
tariff for revenue only. At that time
the Prohibition vote in that State was
insignificant. This year, with the Re,
publicans on the free-whisky platform,
the Prohibition vote will be swelled to
and add thereto the strength of an able,
wise and economical administration
of the Government for the last four
years. and you have ample reason for
the claim that New York will certain.
ly cast her electoral vote for Glove.

A Rich Mans Troubles.

Rich men have their trodbles as
we'll as those who are poor. Here is a
president of Western bank who is
reported to be worth 81, 100000 and
yet who returned as his amount on
which to pay personal tax only 1858.
The assessors got after Kim and found
that he has had standing deposit
in his name in the bank for several
years ranging from $3.50, 600 to $14o,
600, on which the bank allowed him
four per cent. interest. He claimed
that the money was the product
of 100000 untaxable United
States bonds turned into green
backs, also untax able, and that it
was kept for the use OF the bank in
case of emergency. The pryine
assessors, however, say that the
money is not in greenbacks and
that the millionaire is liable to
about $4,000 back taxes be-
sides two fines of $4,000 each.
This will pretty nearly eat up his
cash balance. Honesty is the best
policy.

Built for a Tomb.
Cor. Detroit Free Press.

Washington Cor. Detroit Free Press
To perpetuate the memory OF the
man ''frst in war, frst In peace and
first in the hearts oil his ccuntryme.r
was the central idea of the designers
of the Capitol. The fine statue OF
Washington that faces the eastern
front OF the Capitol is familiar Dr.
fectly over the bronze doors Mt the
top of the steps leading to the central
entrance is basso-relievo represent
ing Fame and Peace uniting to
crew.i him with a laurel wreath. On
either side of the bronze doors are
statues OF Peace and War. The fresco
on the canopy of the rotunda looking
directly down upon the proposed
tomb OF Washington represents his
dedication and the fall of tyranny.
The General plays an important part
in the procession of scenesfrom Ameri-
can history that is depicted as gailop-
ing around the frieze of the rctunda.
Over the panels busts OF Columbus,
Cabot, Raleigh and La Sale look
down upon the grave of Washington.
In the center of the rotunda. the ex.
act center of the capitol and the spot
through which passes the meridian of
Washington. is round marble slab.
This is directly under the great bronze
statute OF Freedom, which, $50 feet
above, surmounts the dome. And it
is directly over the place designed to
rec i've Washington's remains.
Under the rotunda there is similar
but less ornamental circle, which is
still called the crypt, an improper
designation, and would have been so,
even had the original design been car
ried out. 1t is the passage-way be-
tween the Senate and House commit
tee rooms, postoffices and restau-
rants, and is now stored with great
many boxes and Capitol rubbish. In
the center OF the crypt is another
marble slab. Go down another floor
and, after much inquiry, man may
be secured to show you the undercroft
prepared to receive Washington's sar-
copagus. It is reached by unlock
ing doors leading to cor
ridor openingfrom the west front, and
then the doors before the tomb room
itself. The only progress ever made
with the room was the placing OF q
black catafalque in the center, which
still remains The guide stepped
awkwardly over the catalogue and
lighted gas jet on the farther wall.
The room is about 10 feet square,
arched, and perhaps 8 feet high. 1t
was clean, and looked fitting spot
for the eternal rest of the American
liberator. 1t is now turned to pro-
saic uses, however. and steam pipes.
connecting different parts ofthe build.
ing, run through the room. The old
man who showed the way to the UNI
dereroft said that he bad been q guide
and laborer in these lower regions OF
the Capitol for 26 years. and that few
people ever inquired for this spot. not
withstanding its interest. 'If Wash
ington had been buried here" he said,
it would have made a big difference
with this part OF the Capitol. Now it
is musty, dirty. and full OF old traps.
/ reckon the country would have kept
it up in shipshape il the General had
been buried there"

The Economic Gains of the
World in Recent Time.

From the Boston Herald.
The most marked proof OF the in.
crease of human prosperity through
out the world is seen in the decline in
the average death rate in England,
Wales and the United States. The
decline is trom4 to 8 per cent. within
Che last fifty years. This Is believed
to be due quite as much to the in
crease in tire abundance and cheap.
ness OF food products as to improved
sanitary conditions. 1t Is also due
to the enlarged control over disease
which has come with greater knowl-
edge of it's causes. 1t is a fact that IN
this country the increased physical
activity of theaverage individual has
added fully one inch to he size of the
chest and waist since the civil war.
In another point of view, there has
been great improvement, as is shown
in Industrial life in England. Fifty
years ago one-third of the working
masses were agricultural laborers, to-
day less than one-eighth are so EN-
ployed. The artisan population dur.
Ing this period has advanced from
one-third to three fourths OF the
whole number of the inhabitants. In
the same interval the money wages OF
| ali classes OF labor i'll the same COM
munities have advanced about 100
per cent. while the purchasing power
oil wages has very greatly increased.

The Ruling Passion.

A remarkable case of woman's
vengeance has just been disclosed. A
young artist. who is comparatively
we'll known, lived for time with a
milliner who for some months had
been dying with consumption. During
her illness q female friend of hers used
to visit her and sit by her bedside.
The patient soon perceived that an
intrigue was on foot between her low
er and her friend. Accordingly, she
raised herself suddenly in bed one ev-
ening while the pair were talking near
her and pushed a petroleum lamp on
them. The flames caught the dress OF
the hated rival and she was almost
burned to death. When the neigh
bcrs came the dying woman told
them that she had fully intended to
set the room on fire so that she, her
lover and her rival might perish in the
flames.
