THE IRONY OF TRUTH.
Observations on the Cruel Treatment OF

Observations on the Cruel Treatment OF
Train Robber.
New York Tribune.
The widest possible publicity ought to be
given to the base attempt to injure the we'll
known Oliver Curtis Perry, train robber.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Perry Is
now in Jail awaiting trial for a recent at
tempt to rob New York Central express
car. This, Of course. only makes it the
worse Tor the perpetrators of the outrage,
Sluce he is not at liberty and in q position to
defend himself. But he is about to show
his prosecutors that he is not entirely help
less, and the news comes that he has hired
q lawyer and will sue the proprietor of a
Rochester museum for $4,000 damages for
exhibiting figure of him in wax. These
Rochester men may yet find that a train
robber has rights which even a museum
manager is bound TO respect
This, OF course, opens up the whole sub
Jeet OF the proper treatment of train-rOb-
bers. Do we treat our train-robbers with
that too often we do not. We are too apt to
look upon a train robber simply in cOnnee-
ton with his profession; a train-robber to
Us IS too apt to be simple train-robber and
engaged in his business he may have a
beautiful home life. as we are frequently
assured certain large operators in
Wall street have, that he may be possessed
OF hne appreciation or art and true
love OF nature; that, IN short. he may be
delicate, poetic character easily shocked by
having crude wax figure of himself set up
for the sport Of the unfeeing multitude. OF
course when a man Is hanging down the
side of an eXpress-car by a rope, plugging
away at the messenger with Dig revolver.
while The train is going 30 miles an hour, he
has no time for the display of finer
feelings, nor, for that matter, has

OF the Stock Exchange and waving

ii is during their hours of relaxation that
we must look at each OF these men to dis
cover his true nature. The, pain of an ex-
tended residence in the County jail of itself
is SAID to be considerable, but when to this
is added the knowledge that you are being
exhibited outside In cheap red and yellow

come unbearable 10 a train-rObber of the
least fneness of feeling. We do not doubt
that Mr.. Perry has been hurt at least to the
extent of $4,000 On the whole we are
surprised that lie did not sue tor $4,000

THE EASIEST WAY TO DIE.
A swlss Professor Finds Advantages >
Falling From g Height.

A swiss Professor Finds Advantages In
Falling From 8 Height.
Professor Helm Of Zurich University has
for some years past beer investigating the
subject of death by falling. says a London
special, and has arrived at the surprising
conclusion that it is probably the most
pleasant way OF quitting life. Whenever
this curlously inquisitive professor has
heard Of somebody having tumhled off
roof or fallen down precipice and
survived. he promptly set off to in
terview the sufferer, or engaged some
other learned man on the spot to
do sn. Professor Helm has elabor-
ate records of scores of cases, and upon
these he has based lecture just delivered,
which, II comforting to people about to
engage In mountaineering or steepie climb
Ing or other cognate pursuits, may encour-
age suicide and set n new fashion in SELF
murder. In all the cases investigated 10y
the professor the feelings were the same, or
rather they suffered only in degree. The
victim, he says, suffers no pain in paralyzing
terror. He is perfectly aware OF what is
going on.
The time seems long to him. as In a few
seconds he is able to think so much that he
can repeat for an entire hour on it. His
thinking powers are immense increased.
ln almost all cases the past seems suddenly
lighted up as II by n flash Of lightning. All
phases OF Importance pass before the
minds eye. nothing petty or unimportant
disturbing the retrospect Then gentle.
soft tones sound in ones ears and die away.
AT last, when uneonsciousness comes, one
hears the fall OF the bolt but does not feel
IL. Persons who have had several linn BIS
broken by fall DO not know which limb is
affected till they try to rise.
How can We explain this singular phe-
nomenonp says the professor. doubtless
IN m tal a. pit a m ant
plays great part, and we may reasonably
assume that the pain is, as it were. hypno-
tiled thereby. At the moment of the fall
the whole intellectual action is increased to
an extraordinary degree There Is not
trace OF anxiety. One considers quickly
what Will happen, or may happen. This is
Dy means consequence OF presence OF
mind. 1t Is rather product Of absolute
necessity. A solemn composure takes pos
session OF the mind. Death by falls Is a
beautiful one; one falls painlessly into q
great blue sky. This death is terrible only
TO those who remain behind"
