Other Suicides in the Same City
About tke Same Time.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. GA most startling
climax to the action for libel recently be-
gun by Judge James c. Normile of the st.
Louis criminal court against the PoSt-Dis-
patch Of this city came this forenoon q
little before IL o'clock in the suicide by poi
son of the plaintiff, Judge Normile, at his
residence, No. 1929 Washington avenue.
Criticism of the administration Of Judge
Normile's court was precipiteted recently
by q sudden division In the grand jury act
ing under him, eight of its members alleg
ing that four had combined TO prevent the
indictment Of persons with pulls"
THE ATTACK ON THE JUDGE.
The matter was brought before Judge
Normile through communications from the
contending factions, and the judges con-
duct in the matter led to charges and ortiz
cisms on the part Of the POST Dispatch,
which eliminated In the judge bringing a
suit for sums aggregating S400, 200 against
the paper attacking him. and also institut-

Judge Normile left the city for shorh

1t no longer. A note unsigned, but in the
judges chirography, and written without
erasure or interlineation, contained the
statement that he had this morning deter
mined not to kill Florence d. White, whose
paper had criticised. as he felt, unjustly, the
administration of his court. Preferring
suicide TO murder. and ssaing no other
course. he had determined upon the former,
taking poison.
THE DEATH.
Judge Normile had been downtown dur
ing the morning and returned home shortly
after 10 O'Clock. Before IL o'clock he was
found in the rigor mortis, showing that what
ever poison It was 1t was very powerful.
As IL the atmosphere we're laden with the
suicidal mania, four more suicides were re-
ported In quick succession. DR.. Walter b.
Coles medical examiner for the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, shot himself TO
death, the cause being financial troubles.

CARLIsLE's VIEWS ON SILVER.
He Fsvors Coinage OF Both Metals on
en- Exsce Equality.


en- Exact Equality.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Seuator Carlisle
has addressed letter to John A. Lyme OF
Henderson, KY, in answer to his question
whether Senator Carlisle had heretofore
been in favor Of free coinage of silver, and
whether his views on the subject had UNDER
gone any change. Senator Carlisle quotes
from his own speech In the House in 1878,
when the original Bland bill had been
amended by the Senate. Part OF the quota
tion reads: my position upon this subject
Is briefly this: l am opposed ID free
coinage Of either gold or silver,
but In favor of unlimited coinage
of both metals upon terms Of exact equality.
No discrimination should be made in favo or
of one against the other; nor should any
of either gold or silver bullion and against
the great body Of the people who own other
kinds Of property. A great government
ever IL attempts to do otherwise 1t will
engender spirit of discomfort which sooner
or later must disturb the harmony, If not
the peace Of society"
Senator Carlisle says this paragraph
shows precisely what his position then was
and always has been upon this subject.
In conclusion Senator Carlisle says he will
support any measure that will fully remon-
esize silver and insure equality of dollars
coined from the two metals. and he sincerely
hopes that the approaching international
monetary conference will be able to reach
such an agreement as will meet the ap-
proval OF all the governments participating
in IT

DECEITFUL HOPE.

LIES sorrows are often sweetened,
In this vale of tears;
When on gloomy, cloudy sky,
A streak OF hope appears.
What would life with all its charms.
Without sweet Hope, to humanity

1t heals many broken heart,
With the hope. better days TO see.
But, alas! Hope is deceittul,

When it appears within easy reach,
Like a ghost, suddenly vanishes
