fHE sUIcIpE QUESTION.
A Physiclan's Explanation OF the Peculiar.
tiles OF Self-Murtler.

A Physicians Explanation OF the Peculiar
tiles or Self-Murder.
Ibid you ever notice that as a rule
the persons who seek death and are res
cued from the grave never court the So
cic.y of the dark angel again?'
The propounder of the question was
hospital physician, and he proceeded
to explain, without waiting for an
answer, says an exchange.
what l mean is that Of all the per-
sons who attempt suicide and are {oiled,
but few try sclf-inurder second time.
Probably one-half, if not more, of all
those who try to kill themselves are
frustrated The percentage of those
who leap into the dark river the second
time is exceedingly small. have tried
to discover the reason for this from the
lips of those who have gone through
the terrible experience, but 1 have not
met success.
ut is queer that persons, after de-
voting weeks and months to consider
alton OF so momentous a question, and
deciding to end their existence, should,
when foiled, declare that they were
fools and swear never to do the like
again. Yet this is what is done in a
large majority of instances. Those who
have stared at death seem to live life
anew. The past is effaced-a new
light seems to have dawned. The sun
shine is dearer; the air is purcr. 1t is
the convalescent taking great draughts
of the outdoor air with keenness of
relish that was unknown before.
Ibid you ever witness a hanging?
The execution is impressive. 1t is ter
rible to see a human life deliberately
and coolly taken. But this is not the
most terrible thing about hanging. It
is the recollection of 1.-THE mental
picture of the death scene-that is
awful So it is with the suicide. It is
not so fearful to take a poisoned
draught-to pull trigger or take 4
plunge. But to those who have rushed
to death and have failed to overtalze it
the recollection of that race must be
awful-ahd this is what deters rash
mortals from second attempt. This
is the only explanation can gather.
''What do I think of suicide? It is
moral cowardice and physical courage.
It takes nerve to throw Gne's self in
front of a moving locomotive, but a
human being that cannot bear adversely
Racks the higher courage. 1t is not so
that all persons who seek their own
lives arc insane.
'"There is possibly one case In which
moral cowardice is not apparent. 1t is
in the case of the person who is suffer-
ing torture from fatal illness"

TREACHEROUS SOIL,

Hunting Under Difficulties In an irish
Bog.
Snipe shooting on an Irish bog is an
excellent test of gunner's skill and
enthusiasm. In "Forty-five Years of
Sport" Mr.. Coballis says that he was
out shooting with Lord Gormanstown,
who weighed two hundred and thirty
pounds, and his agent, weighing two
hundred and ten, when they came to a
bog swafining with snlpe.
The walking YVES dangerous, for at
every step the surface of the moss for
fifty yards around rose and fell like q
wave of the sea.
Suddenly Lord Gormanstown put his
feet on q tuft of grass, and down he
went up'to his armpits. The agent shook
with laughter which SO disturbed the
bog he stood on that it gave way and
let him in up to his armpits.
A man was sent to the nearest house,
n mile away, for a rope and the two
heavy men, after remaining in the bog
for tilree-quarters of an hour, were
hauled out.
An experienced bog-shooter, if he
finds himself going down, throws him
self Cat on his side or back, and ut the
same time throws his gun to his attend
ant, generally an unshod "gossoon,"
who rarely fails to catch it.
The sensation of being begged is very
unpleasant, but if a man throws him
self on his side or back, there is strength
enough in the peat to support him,
One Irish snipe shooter, Mr. Foster,
Dublin, was so cool that he had been
known, when begged and going down,
to kill a bird with his right barrel, an
other with his left, and then, throw his
gun to a friend to catch.

THE POSSIBLE II

Hon. A. @. Cleveland went away
yesterday morning; he will be back
after few days. AS is we'll under
stood, that for several months he has
been working on a scheme looking to
the building of a railroad between
this city and San Francisco. That
the project got into the press at all
was against the will Of ali concerned,
but We believe that the best hope Of
road 30 the Coast lies in that direc-
ton. We know that up to this time,
while no noise has been made, a great
deal OF faithful work has been per-
formed; survey has been made that
cuts the coast range of mountains and
finds an easy grade from Oakland to
the Straits Of Carquinez; thence on to
Sacramento; and the work is now go
ing on to determine whether it is
best to proceed directly to Oroville
and then up the North Fork of
Feather River, or to turn to the foot
hills from Marysville, thence up the
Fork OF the Feather and on to Beck
with Pass.
The work has all been going on
noiselessly, and so far it is merely ex-
perimental. The men engaged ia it
do not wish to be advertised, because
they are not sure that they will
finally accomplish the object desired,
but We know that they are working
In great good faith; that the enter
prise has more solid backing than
any other enterprise of the kind ever
had, and the whole situation justities
tho people OF this city in having
little faith in it. If the enterprise
shall be carried through, it will be-
gin at both ends at the same time,
and will oe driven with such energy
as the men who opened the "Com-
stock" always infuse into anything
they have to do.
Probably the Tribune has no real
business to publish even this much,
but we Know how anxious the people
are. and we do not see any harm in
explaining what any people are doing
in dead earnest as long as there is no
pretension that the matter will result
in certainty. In addition, it may
be said that just now there is feel
ing OF great unrest IN California and
half disposition to believe that part
of the depression in California is due
to the fact that one great monopoly
owns all the transportation lines of
that State, and men feeling shat way,
with the great State Of California be-
hind them, have more to work upon
tnan people Mt this end, where capital
is limited and there is use for every
dollar that can be obtained in the
regular channels of business.--ISalt

President Harrison's first message
caused great excitement here, where its
warlike utterances were thoroughly dis
cussed in cafes and other public resorts;
but the second message caused a revulslon
of feeling and the people generally
became much calmer and expressions OF
satisfaction were heard that the dispute
would he amicably settled through
diplomatic channels. For the fret time
in four months the Chilean press is

Tax Collector Stewart comes in for his
share of amusing incidents. The other
day a fat, little, understood, gray headed
negro man waddled into the apartment
for taxpayers. 1t was early in the morn
ing and he was the only taxpayer there.
By getting on tiptoes the old negro could
just peep through the window between
the apartments; but no one in the tax
Office seemed to see him. At last Mr..
Stewards attention was attracted by
various and sundry noises.
What is it uncle?" asked MI. Stewart.
"Mawnin, boss, mawnin. l jes' want
ed ter fin out how much my ole lady's
tax wuz, boss. I'm bout sho' it's erbout
six-forty."
MI. Stewart consulted the tax books.
"Only five-forty."
Boss" said the old fellow in a dubious
tone, 81 specs you better look ergin. I'm
sho' it mus be ~six-forty."
In spite of all the old tax collector
could say the old fellow handed him
$6.40. The tax collector returned the
old man a dollar and gave him a re-
ceipt.
"Thankee, boss, thankee," said the old
negro when he saw the dollar returned.
He pocket the dollar and departed with
the receipt.
The next morning Mr.. Stewart met
the same old negro fellow ON a street
car. When thernegro saw Mr.. Stewart
he broke into a laugh.
Look here, uncle; why did you want
to pay more tax than was necessary

porter last evening that he was ready to
proceed with the work of construction as
soon as the question of the bonus was
settled. He had been hard at work on
the plans and specifications of the smelter
plant and had them IN such shape that
work could be commenced Immediately.
The specifications covered twenty-five
pages of type written matter and detailed
every piece of iron and steel that entered
into the construction of the buildings and
machinery. The ground plans and ele-
vations had been sent to Denver but will
be here tomorrow. Although no con-
tracts have been let it is probable that
Frazier & Chalmers Of Chicago will build
the smelter. This firm has works in
Chicago and London and are the largest
manufacturers of smelling plants in the
world.
THE PLANT.
The man buildings of the plant will be
four and will not be less than 75xl00 feet
IN size. They will be constructed of stone
and iron. The machinery will be of the
latest design and will weigh over 1000, 00O
pounds. The capacity OF the smelter will
be over 600 tons OF ore per day. The cost
Of construction will exceed the amount
named in the proposition to the people of
Cheyenne aud more men than the mum
Der named there will be necessary to run
it. Gold, silver and lead ores will be
smelted and if good copper ore can be
secured a copper furnace will be put IN.
MIR. Blanchard says that he has expended
over 81. 200 IN making assays of the Sill.
yer Crown ores and is certain that they
can be proftably mined and reduced at
the works to be erected here.
Regarding a location Mr.. Blanchard
said there we're numerous good sites for
the works, perhaps the best being at some
point along Crow creek. south or south
east of the city. Should the question of
values of the property donated be settled
at once so that the work of construction
can be commenced without delay, Mr..
Blanchard thought the smeltei could be
IN operation by Sept. 1.
CONTRACTS TO BE DRAWN.
The executive committee decided last
night to have a formal contract drawn be-
tween the donors of property and
cash and Mr.. Blanchard. This will be
submitted to a committee of attorneys be-
fore being signed. If upon carefully 20.
ing over the list Of property the prices
are scaled the amoun required to brinl
the bonus up to the sum OF $500, 900 vii
at once be raised.
PLEASED WITH BLANCHARD.
A member of the executive committed
stated last evening that he was remarkably
well pleased with Mr.. Blanchard and his
way of handling the smelter scheme. He
was business from start to finish and had
his part of the project well in hand SO
hat it rested solely with the people of
Cheyenne whether they got a shelter
here or not. Mr.. Blanchard wants to re,
turn east on Tuesday or Wednesday and
there will have to be no time lost in clos,
ing the contract, adjusting prices Of prop
erty and examining and accepting Mr.
Blanchard's bond which he proposes Civ
