1HE DIVISION OLE AFRICA.

The ancient power Of Rome is generally
accepted as the most striking exponent which
the history Of the world affords OF Unsuitable
love Of territorial dominion. for the city on
the banks of the Tiber gradually extended its
authority until it included in its grasp all
the kingdoms which then had place on the
map of the globe.
Rome, however. when 10 the acme of its
grandeur and when its armies were considered
to lie irresistible could record no act of seiz
ing upon countries which did not belong to il
that surpassed in audacous GOODNESS the ap-
portionment which Portugal. France. Ger
many and England have made among them
selves of the vast surface of the African
continent. The greater part of that
continent has practically remained to
this day unexplored, the larger sec
ton Of it's population have never
eazed upon the face Of an European
and probably never heard Of one. and yet
few representative men have conferred to-
gether in the European capitals and the re-
suit is as careful division of African terri
tory as if it had constituted immenorially

Portugal now controls 774993 square miles

territory Of Turkey from consideration only
about $500 900 square miles of Africa now re-
mains in the exclusive hands Of its original
owners.
In ancient times territory was only won by
the sword. but in the modern age millions of
square miles are divided up by strokes Of the
pen aud possession taken without the assist
ance of an army.
1t is well that the public sentiment Of the
world is more favorable to the division OF
Africa than it was 10 the division of Poland.
The latter was an act Of tyranny which arouses
even in this day sense of strong indig-
nation. The divisionof Africa. however. means
the extension Of the benefits Of civilization
to the most benighted portion of the world. |
It means the repression Of the most infamous
customs that can degrade humanity. II |
means the establishment Of law and order |
where now confusion and anarchy prevail.
Il means the introduction of Christianity

ROMANTIC SUICIDE.

Young Couple Fouhu be"u' S"A'Peo :"

New YORK, April 21.--A young couple
reristered at the Grand Union hotel on
Sunday morning as P. Bertrand and
wife, and were assigned to Il room on
the third floor. Last evening at s:3C
o'clock they were found locked in each
others arms-cold in death. They had
employed the familiar method of inhal-
ing gas through rubber tubes held in
the mouth to bring to them an untimely
end. On the woman's breast lay large
and beautiful bouquet of roses. This
showed conclusively that the self-mur'
der had been carefully planned by the
couple, as it was in many respects to
what the reported suicide of the Arch
duke Rudolph was like, and of which
the couple had evidently read.
The man was about 25 years of age
and the woman ~. The couple left foul
letters-two to Mrs. Muller, OF thi;
city, one to the coroner and one to Frit;
Bertrand, of South William street thi'
city. Their contents have not beel
made known and no cause has beei
learned for the rash deed, but there i
