LAWRENCE TRYING


ing long and sleepless days to fashion
or pleasure. The strain proved too
great. A while ago he ceased to be a
''thrice jolly fellow" as his friends
called him. He grew morose, then lost
his reason, and recently attempted sui
eide with revolver and razor. Now,
at the age of forty-one, he is classed as a
dangerous lunatic and can never more
know sanity or freedom.
Ambition to excel and excessive study,
eliminating in temporary arrangement,
are the probable explanations of Law
renee Irving's rash act. He is son of
Henry Irving, and hoped by intense ap-
plication and unremitting endeavor to
rival his fathers great fame. But, fail
ing to win popular approval at the start,
he became discouraged, and the other
night was found lying in his room at
Belfast hotel shot through the body.
Youth and good constitution are in
his favor and he may live to regain his
mental balance and to resume his hon.
orable struggle for name and place on
the stage.
Some day, when science and surgery
have charted, mapped and classified the
human brain with accuracy, we may
learn why civilization and lunacy go
hand in hand. Among savages the mad
man is rare, and his affection is regarded
as an endowment of supernatural power.
His rawlings are received as prophecies
and his violence as the visible vengeance
of an offended deity. But with educa-
ton, apparent comfort and material
progress, the malady, under various
guises, spreads and grows formidable.
That is q fact established by the Oldest

''earth Shakers" set them down as
doomed by the gods," and thought
their assertions proved when Alexander
the Great met untimely death, when
Socrates the henpecked drank the hem
lock, when Caesar the epfleptic fell at
the foot of Pompey's statue and when
Antony the infatuated refused to sur.
vive the disaster of Actium.
These men strove to rule, and reached
such heights that they thought them
selves more powerful than the tabled
deities of Olympus. Then extravaganza
took the place of sense, and the sequence
was disaster. In later times the same
conditions produced Charles XII of
Sweden, the ''madman of the north "
who failed, and Frederick the Great of
Prussia, who succeeded. 1t may be con.
tended regarding the latter. that none

against a world III arms, but his private
and literary eccentricities weigh SO
largely in the balance of judgment that,
had he been defeated and his kingdom
wiped out, he would today figure in his
tory as crazy monarch who lost his
heritage. Even more recently the case
of Ludwig of Bavaria has attracted at
tention. Undoubtedly he was ''melan-
choly mad" yet without his royal patron

tortured by deformity and the mighty
ambitions of restless mind, who wrote:
Great wit to madness nearly is allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.
And in connection with these lines
one naturally thinks of DR.. Samuel John
son, a lifelong sufferer from transmitted
physical maladies; of Chatterton, the boy
poet and suicide; of Oliver Goldsmith
whose brief exis nee was at once farce
and tragedy; of Richard Brinsley Sheri
dan, the favorite of princes and the prey
of bailiffs; of William Cowper, whose lu

HAD MUSIC.
The Flagship Band Plays the
Australia Off Yesterday.

The departure of the Australia
yesterday was an interesting sight.
An unusually large number of peo-
pie stood on the wharf to see their
friends and the tourists depart.
The decks Of the vessel were jam
med with passengers most of whom
were covered with leis, and all were
well pleased at the forethought
of Admiral Brown for sending
the Flagship Band to the wharf to
play the usual parting serenade
in place of the Hawaiian Band
which was engaged elsewhere.
Everybody ON the dock was sur
prised to see the members of the
San Francisco Band enter the
gates of the wharf, and there were
very few people that did not give
the ADVERTISER its share of the
credit for the unexpected con,
cert.

Sip Your Milk SInuIu.

Many people complain that they can
not drink milk without being distressed
by it. The reason is that they drink it
too fast. If glass of milk is swallowed
hastily it enters the stomach, and then
forms in one solid, curdled mass difficult
of digestion. At least four minutes
should be occupied in drinking glass of
milk, so that in reaching the stomach it
will be so distributed that when coagu-
lated, as it must be by the gastric juice,
instead of being in one hard, condensed
mass, it will be more in the form of a
sponge.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-04-27

There, too, was Voltaire, the literary
meteor of century, 81 coward and a
hero, a dissembler and doubter, a man
who fawned at the feet of kings and de-
fed the Deity and his wrath, a miser-
able groveler and lofty genius, who left
a larger stamp upon his age than all the
captains and monarchs who went a-feld
to slay; and Byron, maddened to all
sorts Of excuses because he had vanity
and club foot; and the elder Bulwer,
known to the public as playwright and
novelist, and to his wife as a person of
the most extraordinary moods.
America, too, has furnished its quota
of gifted minds that have crossed I'M
hidden the mysterious border line of
sanity and taken on the fantastic extrav-
agance of i'll directed genius. All the
world has mourned for Edgar Allan
Poe, commiserated his unhappy life and
regretted his early and shameful death;
has reveled in his romances and won
dered at his mastery of verse. Old New

with a good Watch.
In a few weeks more, the last

The total membership, in all nine
clubs, was nearly six hundred

All Americans are cognizant of Scan
Ians sad story-of how he struggled des-
perately against the lapses Of a failing
brain and tried to hold the place he had
won upon the stage; of how ne fought
the creeping demon of decay, and while
yet in physical prime succulnbed to a
mysterious and incurable malady; but
few probably have noted the fact that
De Maupassant's case resembles that OF
the stricken actor in many respects.
Like Scanlan he practically had his life
before him; like Seaman he enjoyed
the passing hour" and like Seaman he
has written fms to his career. Yet it is
only ten years ago that the critics prophe-
sled for both the highest triumphs at
tainable in the callings to which they
had devoted themselves.
Henri Rene Albert Guy de Maupas-
SAINT was born in 1850 and on attaining
manhood surveyed the field of human
endeavor and decided to become an
author. He went to Flaubert, and Sc
cured that masters literary patronage.
Under this skillful direction he served

books, human nature and the construc-

was he allowed to offer any of his pro-
auctions to the publishers or the pub
lie. Then, at the age Of thirty, he made
his first attempt to win popular favor
as a novelist, and it proved successful.
Not long afterward he took rank in the
same class with such men as lola, Dau-
Diet and Bourget. Paris wanted to know
him, and he wanted to know Paris. He
was a fine looking fellow, with brown,
wavy hair, magnificent eyes, splendid
physique, the bearing of a soldier, and
charms Of manner and conversation that
won the hearts of women. Welcomed

Send Them to School.

Though they are but few. there
are young people now growing up in
Monongalia county who can neither
read nor write and who have never
taken advantage of the schooling
which every child is privileged
and urged to enjoy. On this sub
ject the Journal and Messenger, a
high class religious paper says:
In West Virginia there are near
ly 100000 names of boys and girls
enrolled as of school age, and enti-
tied to attend the public schools of
the State. A large per cent of these
young people and children are in
the schools. There is wide spread
and strong sentiment in favor of not
only general but higher education
Many of the parents are willing to
do all they can to assist their chill
dren in securing the very best train
ing possible; while on the other
hand, there are parents, as well as
young people and children, who are
profoundly indifferent to this whole
question. Since the State has pro-
vided good system of schools in
which to educate it's future citizens it
seems that there should be authority
somewhere, that can and will see to it
that all the children attend the
schools, if not the public, then the
private schools. There can hardly
be good excuse for any child grow
ing up at this time, in West Virgin
ia, without fair training.
