DID HE TRY
TO COMMIT SUICIDE?

The train which leaves the Asheville
depot at 3:O5 was rounding the bend
Yesterday when a man rushed to the
platform and jumped off. His rash
act created great excitement among
the other passengers-they all thought it
was case of suicide. Ladies tainted,
men rushed to the platform expecting to
sec his mangled form upon the track,
but the fact was he had forgotten to put
his bottle of "Buncombe Pills" in his
satche and would not start on his jour
ney without them. He took great chances,
but he might have taken greater.

ANARCHIsTs IN MEETING.

NEW YORK, August 1.-About one
thousand anarchists assembled in mill
tary hall, on the Bowery. tonight, to
hear Andrew Carnegie and capitalists in
general denounced. Pinkert. the re.
putcd chief of the murderous Autonomist
group,to which Alexander Bergman be-
longed, and Emma Goldman, Bergman's
mistress. were the principal speakers.
Resolutions calling for the immediate
abolition of capital were presented and
carried unanimously, but these resolu
tions conveyed no hint as to the mean:
to be employed. The speeches, most o
them delived in German, we're rather
tame except in 80 far as they held Berg
man up as one of the heroes Of th'
epoch. The absence of inccndiary Ian
guage was partly due to the presence o
a large force of policemen.

A Bit of Expensive Lace.

There is museum here devoted to the
preservation of old laces. Here the en-
broidered fabric of history and romance
enrolls itself before you-somber with
tragic stains at one place, gay at another
with the rosy smiles of life. The most re-
markable piece on exhibition is a founce
made especially for the Empress Marie
Louise by order of Napoleon. 1t is quite
probable that the equal of this pattern will
never be produced. The texture of this
article is so fine that one could imagine it
the work of fairy. 1t is point dAlencon
with flowers, candelabra, symbolic vases
and birds which lose themselves in n mass
of delicate tracery.
This precious piece was the heritage of a
family of Parma, who sold it to the mu-
scum for an enormous price in gold. In
this museum hangs the portrait of Queen
Victoria in the costume worn at her jubi-
lee. The lace of this costume was all made
in the Venetian schools, and is the finest
work that has been done by them.-Venice

opposition the contract was awarded to
Mr.. II. l.. Moore, of Ellsworth, and work
was commenced. The frame was already

one dark night body of men sailed forth

WHAT CHICAGo WANTS.

The Chicago Herald has recently made
this distinct statement:
1t ought to be understood that Chicago does
not desire loan for the fair. Chicago has put
S11 600 600 of her own money into this national
enterprise. If the national interest and honor
ia it are not worth S5,000,OO0 Congressional
ideas Of national honor must be different from
what Americans generally hold them TO be.
Chicago does not want the loan OF a dollar from
Congress. II merely suggests the equity Of
making an appropriation TO complete national
pledge.
This frank avOwal of purpose on the
part Of Chicago pTovokes the New York Sun
to make the following reply:
There are two facts within The knowledge OF
Chicago and the country which estop Congress
from giving. and ought 10 estOp Chicago from
asking for another cent for the fair. Chicago
promised not 10 ask for any such grant from The
Government Congress, under the impression
thar this promise was sincere aud would be
binding, expressly stipulated in the Worlds
Far act that the Government should not be Ella
able on account of any expenses incident to or
growing out of said exposition for a sum exceed
ing in The aggregate S1,5OO,00O."
The Suns two facts, which are indiput-
able, do not constitute reason why the
Federal Government should not contribute
to the enterprise. The national credit Is
now involved. There will be fair of more
or less magnitude il the Government holds
Chicago TO the letter of its contract. But
the $1,000. coo asked for will enable the fair
managers to carry out their present plans
1t will make the fair much more complete,
more worthy Of the nation and more valu-
able as an aid TO American industries than
if the city in which the fair is held is
limited TO its own resources. There have
probably been mistakes in the management
of the fair. Men have been put in promi-
nent places who ought never to invite the
gaze Of the public. There has been a set
tied purpose 10 run tie fair for the benefit
of individuals. Doubtless Chicago as city
expects TO make muney out of it. All these
facts afford no reason why the Government
should allow the fair to be partial failure
for the lack Of funds The people we have
invited 10 visit the fair know nothing about
the rival interests of different cities. They
only know that the fair is an American en-
terprise and will hold the whole country
responsible for its success. Not for S5000.-
600 or any other sum can the Government
allow tile fair to lie less grand than it may be.

CHEAP COAL.

John Resembles Sons have informed the
public through The CALL of their plans in
respect to cheap coal. The firm proposes to
increase the supply, limit cost to a mini
mum, and by increased facilities for hand
ling prevent the fluctuations in prices that
have discouraged manufacturers from
founding new industries. There is no kind
Of industry in which systematic develop
ment will be of greater benefit to the State
than in the coal supply. While coal must
necessarily be higher in this city than in
Eastern cities lying close by extensive coal
beds, the cost here has often been excessive
and the fluctuations TuinOus 10 industries in
which the cost of fuel is a considerable item
Of expense. The Rosenfelds can now win
lasting fame as business men if they will
resist the temptation to form a combine TO
put coal up TO speculative prices. THE
CALL has no reason 10 suppose that their
plans include an occasional corner, except
that almOstall business in this State has been
conducted on that principle. Let us hope
that ROSenfeld's Sons Will prove an excep-

A YEARS DEATHS.

The total number of deaths in this city
during the calendar year 1891 was $685.,
which is slightly larger than the mortality
of any previous year. During the year 1890
ii was 6148. But the officials OF the Health
Bureau generally reckon by fiscal years.
from July 1st to June 30th; and these show
that in 1s90-91 the mortality WAS $3.50, in
18S9-9O 637S, and in 1s76-77, when the popula-
ton was considerably less than it j., 6170.
As estimated by The CALL the deaths in
December footed up 800. That is far ahead
OF any previous December The only De-
eember which approaches it is December,
1876, In which COZ deaths occurred out of a
population considerably less than we have
now. In December, 1890, the deaths were
$50. 1t does not appear that the large NOR
tally Of 1891 was due to diseases of Zymotic
origin. The number of deaths from dipb-
liberia was 81 against 314 in 1890; from
Group 1873, against 143; from typhoid fever
1872, against 137. And in December which
was the most fatal month in the year, this
class OF diseases seems TO have caused fewer
deaths than the average. There were but

90 deaths in that month from dlphtheria
and IL from Group; while In other months
of the year the former disease more than
once took So and 40 lives and the latter
over 20
In 1891, as always the most fatal diseases
in this locality were diseases of the respira-
tory system. OF the $3.50 deaths of the year,
nearly one-third, or 1894, were due to con-
sumption, pneumonia or other forms OF lung
disease, and bronchitis. Consumption alone
caused 9S3 deaths as against 9J9 in 1890. A
considerable proportion of these were i'm
ported cases. Eastern consumptiyeS, hear
ing that the balmy climate of the interior OF
California aud the braciDg air of The Sierras
have effected cures in cases as severe as
theirs, come to San Francisco and die here,
though their physician explains to them that
the coast climate is not favorable for dis
eaSed lungs. 1t is not agreeable to note that
the last half of 1891 was more fatal than the
first half among persons who were suffering
from diseases of the respiratory system.
Grip is a disease which does not as yet
figure in the tables of health officers, obvi-
ously because so small proportion of deaths
can be directly traced to its work. But it
is probably safe 10 assume that the increased
mortality from consumption and pneumonia
would not have occurred but for the debili-
tating effects of grip. 1t was observed in
New York that during the epidemics of
grip the mortality from other diseases was
largely increased Grip aggrayates not
only diseases of the respiratory system, but
diseases of the heart as well, and probably
cancer 1t is noticeable that the deaths from
heart disease in 1891 were 427 against 266 in
1880, while the deaths from cancer also show
an increase. On the other hand, the deaths
from that modern scourge, Brighi's disease.
show a slight falling off last year-131
against $50 in 1890 There is every reason
to hope that that terrible disease. which
twenty years ago science regarded as ncura-
BILE, will presently be classed among mala-
dies which may be arrested by treatment
and perhaps entirely eradicated
