Thev outrode the Old Man.

MILAN, Tenn, Feb. ia sensational

aged about 20 years. has long loved Mary
Eton, another planters daughter, and
made matrimonial advances to her, which
she reciprocated, but old man Elton OBJ
jected for several reasons, chief among
which was that he could raise the mort
gage on his farm by giving his daughter
to the MORTGAGE. So be refused HaRler
the entree of his home, and forbade his
daughter to have any relation with the
young fellow. But where there is a will
there is a a Friday night Mary de-
scended from a window of her fathers
dwelling. and, getting up behind William,
who was on horseback, they rode swiftly
away to Camden, the county seat. Every
thing seemed to work smoothly enough,
but when Hagler descended from the
clerks office at Camden be saw the old
man have hold OF the bride and abusing
the girl. Hagler pushed him aside,
Jumped on his horse and left the Town
with his sweetheart. The old man pur
sued them, and was gaining on the two
lovers, when they drew off to the side of

Cregier WIN Not Interfere.

CHICAGO, Feb. l6-President Gaze of
the worlds fair directory sent a letter to
Mayor Cregier today. calling his attention
TO the cases of intimidation of workmen
ny the unemployed at Jackson park, the
danger of serious labor riots and the
necessity of police protection. The
mayor directed the corporation counsel to
draw up an opinion and the conclusion
was reached that the city would not I'M
dertake to keep a force of police on the
grounds in anticipation of trouble, but in
case of a riot the police would be sent to
suppress it; the request for such force,
however, must come from the park COM
m~issioners, not from the contractors or
worlds fair officials, although the COM
missioners are not on the ground and
seldom are in session. The main points
made are that the parks are under the di-
rect control OF the commissioners who
are provided with their own Police
force, and therefore the city
has no right to interfere ex-
cept by request of the park commission
ers. Second, il the report is true that
the Italians employed are aliens they are
not entitled to police protection, as, under
an act passed by the state legislature in
1889, it is made unlawful for any board,
commission, officer or contractor, acting
for or under any municipality, to employ
aliens The point is made that this law
is applicable because the city has raised
IS, 900. 900 in bonds in support OF the
fair. The force of park police in Jackson
park at present doesn't exceed half a
dozen men and is. of course, wholly made
auate to cope with a mob whi,h might
number anywhere from so to 5000 men.

Gibson Indicted.

CHICAGO, Feb. I6.-Secretary George
j. Gibson of the whisky trust has been
indicted, and tomorrow, barring flight,
will probably be again arrested and COM
PEELED to give bail in the state courts in
addition to the 5000 federal bonds
already piled up against him. After
hearing the evidence presented by the
government officials regarding the alleged
plot to blow up with dynamite the anti
trust Shuieldt distillery, there was a unani-
nous vote that an Indictment be found
against Gibson, and State Attorney Longe-
necker spent some hours at his office to-
night arranging the proper counts on
which the whisky trust secretary will be
tried. The law under which he will be
held is contained in a section OF the crimi
nal code relating to the possession, manu-
~iacture and guilty knowledge OF explosives
intended to be used for the injury OF any
building or prison.

ELIZABETH, N. j.. Feb. I6.-Harvey
Q. Ellis has charge of the filling of orders
for the Singer company agencies at the
Elizabeth works. He is also presenter at
the First Baptist church, and quite prom
inent ia Elizabeth musical circles. Over
a year ago Michael Brennan, then 81, was
a clerk in the same department with FL
lis. He was regarded as eccentric, but
harmless. One day he stole up behind
Ellis with a pistol, and when within a few
feet of him leveled it at his head and
blazed away. Another clerk, seeing the
act. shouted to Ellis to look out, and the
latter partly turned his head. This
saved his life, as the bullet only tore
away the lower portion of his ear. Bren
nan was chased through the factory, ar
rested and sent to the insane asylum. He
was there nine months and behaved so
rational that be was discharged as cured.
He has been home four months, and his
friends supposed he was all right, al
though he refused to go at any employ
ment. Last night a rap was heard at
Ellis door, and on opening it he was
startled to find that his visitor was Bren-
nan. There was a stony glare in the
maniac's eyes, and he growled, Now We
got you" at the same time making a
rush at Ellis with what the latter thinks
was a knife in his hand. Ellis tried to
close the door on his ~assailant, and after a
sharp struggle succeeded in boltIng it.
Brennan hung around awhile and went
away, when Ellis began calling for an
officer. Brennan was arrested at mid
night and locked up. Today he was
committed to jail until the papers can be
made out c~ousigning him again to the
asylum. His mania is that Ellis would
not let him better his condition at the
Singer works, while on the contrary he
always helped the lunatic along.

SUICIDE AND ITS CAUSES.

Suicide seems to be epidemic in Pittsburg
at present Almost every day the news
papers are called upon to chronicle the fact
that another human being has grown tired
of lie and sought surcease of sorrow and
trouble in the grave. Just to what this
state of affairs is to be credited cannot be
definitely determined. People from time
immemorial have killed themselves, and
therefore the fact of suicide itself is
not SO remarkable; but that a
number OF unfortunates in one
city should choose the same week for
their voluntary exit is of passing in
terest. This epidemic form has been
noted before, and explanations offered,
none of which was universally accepted.
The influence of one persons acts on the
acts of another can hardly be advanced as a
cause, or one mans killing himself would
be expected to lead every other unfortunate
to follow his example. This, of course, is
not the case. Every person in trouble who
hears of a suicide does not 60 and do like
wise. If he did, the eity-nay, the coun-
try-would soon be depopulated. Nor can
put forward as a cause. for those fond of no.
toriety generally want to live to enjoy it.
The most plausible explanation, though it
really does not explain, is that two or more
suicides happening at the same time or close
together, constitute a horrible coincidence
instead OF an epidemic.
These explanations and reasonings do not,
however, alter the fact that suicide Is q
crime, and, as with ether crimes, means for
its prevention can be used. These means
are not to be found on the statute books of
the States that have Iegislated against self
murder, but exist in the personality of every
man, woman and child in the world. Sui
eide is the outcome of inability to bear
troubles, tendency to magnify sorrows and
fear OF the results Of deeds done in life.

Is the Elephant Useful.

In modern times. we have only to look to
India to be convinced of the great usefulness
of the elephant. To the agriculturist, who
uses him before his wagon or his plow, he is in
dispensable, and for the transportation of
heavy articles, he has no rival. We see him
carrying immense tree trunks out of the Indian
forest, and by his indefatigable industry, in
picking up and carrying off large stones aiding
the construction Of roads and railways writes
a contributor to Goldth,Udttcs Geographical
Magazine. For labor of this kind coolie re-
ceives from four to eight annas while ive and
six rupees are paid for the daily work of an
elephant. From this fact, we conclude that
one elephant performs the work of from II to
% coolies.
From the record of the British expedition
against King Theodore of Abyssinia, in 1868
we learn that A elephants were shipped from
Bombay for use in the campaign. Each animal
was in charge of two men. Of this number five
succumbed during the campaign. The remain
ing 80 rendered valuable services, being en-
trusted with the transportation, through a
mountainous country, OF cannon, ammunition
and supplies. 1t was frequently very difficult
to procure proper food tor them. and as it was
often necessary to traverse great distances
to reach the watering places, the death
of the five animals is ascrlbed to these hard
ships. Although elephants move slowly through
a mountainous country and soon become foot
sore they performed their task with admirable
faithfulness Without them it would have
been necessary to await the building of wagon
roads,

MAY IT BE SHORT

The announcement that the Edgar Thorn
son works will not resume operations for
an indefinite period is uncomfortable for the
employees of that large concern and indirect
" to the entire business community Every
one will unite in the hope that the condi-
tions which hold that plant in temporary
idleness will prove of short duration.
The causes Of the stoppsge are not clearly
defined. The scarcity of coke caused BY the
strike in the coke industry has something to
do with it, but probably the low price of
rails and the scarcity OF orders is the chief
cause. 1t has been reported lately that the
railways were coming into the market with
fresh orders fO= rails, which permits the
hope that the demand may bring about an
early resumption of operations.
In the meantime depression which
causes the suspension of work in large
share Of cur industries urgently indicates a
readjustment of the cost of production on a
lower scale. The DIsPATCH'S iuvestiga-
tions have brought out the fact that lower
prices for ore and coke can be secured when
the railways make 4 reasonable reduction
on their freight charges. With such inter
ests as the Edgar Thomson works and the
Mahoning and Shenango furnaces held idle
at the same time. by the present conditions,
railroad management will be exceedingly
blind if 1t does not perceive the advantage
TO itseifo of such a reduction of rates as will
stimulate its most important and profitable
traffic

How to Carry an Umbrella.

The New York Sun gets in its regular stab at
the city of brotherly love by printing tale
supposed to have been told by visiting New
Yorker. The story is as follows: Three or four
of us had closed our umbrellas and gathered
under a store awning at the lower end of Mar
ker street, Philadelphia, to wait for grip car.
Along came a colored man, carrying a faded
and rent old umbrella, and we ali noticed that
he carried the shelter tipped forward at such an
angle that his feet were protected at the ex-
pcnse of his back.
"Stop, sirr' shouted the man at my left, who
had the look and bearing of judge.
"Yes sah-what's wanted?' queried the col
ored man.

There-that's better"
"Can't git along wild sich stiffness, sah."
ssYes you can. Now walk up to the corner
and back. Hold the handle on a line with your
shoulder. That's it-go ahead"
THE negro marched of at a steady pace and
while he was stepping off the gentleman turned
"It,s a knack to shelter yourself under an
umbrella. particularly if it rains hard. and the
want of this knack provokes me when l see it,"
We agreed with him. and the minutes went
by and a car came down.

hut there was no African carrying a fine silk

The Rare Moon Flower,

Mr.. Arnold Brinkworth is exhibiting with
much pride specimen of the Fleur de Lune,
the existence of which has often been doubted.
but which was sent Mr.. Brinkworth a few
months ago by friend residing in Obydos,
Brazil, says the New York Journal
1t was obtained for him from an Indian, who
found it growing in swamp in the depths of
the Amazonian forests, and is the only speci-
men which has ever reached this country alive.
Those who have been favored by glimpse of
the curiosity say it is delicate, tenacious
vine, covered with small, glossy leaves of a
bright and very tender green, climbing to a
height of four or five feet. bearing here and
there milk-white blossom of a disk-like shape.

responding to the shape of the moon makes its
appearance on this disk, and grows as the planet
does until, when at its full size, the yellow
stain covers the entire flower. as the moon be-
gins to wane again this retreats in the same
ratio, and finally disappears altogether, to re-
turn once more as the new moon is seen to
come back.
When the planet sets, the flower closes and
does not unfold until the moon rises on the fol-
lowing night. 1t pursues this course month

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.

OTHER THINGS TO THINK ABOUT,

The members of the Pennsylvania Legis.
lature have undertaken to tell the country
what they think of Congressman. They
speak with great positiveness in exaltation
of ex-Speaker Reed, and even have pro,
nounced views on Don Cameron, the force
bill, and silver coinage. This is all very
we'll; but the public OF Pennsylvania is
more concerned about the actions of the
Legislature itself than opinions of that
Legislature as to some other body.
Let us see, for instance, what the Solons
Al Harrisburg propose to do for Pennsyl-
vania's muddy roads; what provision they
will make Tor ballot reform; whether they
have any notion of passing an anti-discrimi-
nation law, as called for by the Constitution
and pledged in their platform; and whether
they show enough capacity and general
interest TO give the canal scheme, about
which everybody is talking, such official
encouragement as will substantially promote
the undertaking.
Talk at Harrisburg about what should be
done at Washington is very cheap. The
Legislatures own record is what concerns
the public more just now. Clap-trap will
not count in the ultimate judgment as to
that
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-03-11

The last is cowardice, pure and simple, and
a cowardice which, in the eyes OF those left
living, is far greater than any daring or
bravery displayed in seeking the unknown.
All these lead to suicide, and all of them can
be prevented.
The ability to bear trouble can be culti-
vated. 1t should be inculcated into every
child, and when he reaches mans estate he
will not be SO likely to break down. The
tendency to~magnify sorrows can also be
avoided by the same means. There is no
danger of making him heartless. If he is
naturally sympathetic he will not lose any OF
his finer feelings by ability to triumph over
personal sorrows. Cowardice, the outcome
of the two former traits, will, Of course, have
no existence if they are absent. For those
who are already adults. the cultivation of
the ability to bear trouble and the tendency
to lessen the effects of sorrow may be rather
hard, but success will attend rightly directed
efforts. Be cheerful, lock your fellow man
in the face with a smile, lead a moral life
and self-destruction will not be your lot!
