A Mans Life Changed by a Fall.

A case recorded by Plutarch would seem
to support the theory that during periods
of protracted insensibility the spirit of the
sleeper, freed from the body, wanders
away to realms and scenes not conceivable
by the ordinary senses. A man named
Thespius, he tells us, fell from a great
height and was picked up to all appear
ances dead. There were no external
wounds about him, but the physicians
were satisfied of the fact of the decease.
Arrangements were made for his burial.
but on the third day after his fall he re-
vived, much to the CONSERVATION Of his
friends. In a short time it became quite
evident that the whole tenor of the mans
life had changed. Previously his charac-
ter was that of a reprobate and a vicious
man, but after his insensibility he ever fol-
lowed after virtue. On being asked the
reason of the change, Thespius related
that during his long sleep his spirit had
been liberated from his body and had
scared away to a strange land, where it
had joined a whole company of other
spirits.
His past life was disclosed to him in all
its hideousness, and the glorious capabili-
ties which were before him were revealed
in such a manner to make him ambi-
tious of attaining them.-Yankee Blade

Sc. N.ture or Hum.n N.tureq

The chief endowment of man, as distin-
guished from other animals, is mind and
soul. The spirit born of these is generally
believed to survive alone of mans organ
ism. Mind and soul are therefore the
essentials of our being, upon which our
greatest efforts at cultivation should be
expended. These are of common gender.
Men and women share equally the response
bility Of developing the loftiest enduring
qualities of their spiritual nature. Can
this be done by perpetuating system OF
differentiated characters, as inhering in
sexes having a common destiny and under
going mutual preparation for it?
The most desirable and permanent quail
ties are those in which sex is Indifferent
Which should be more truthful, honorable
faithful, generous-man or woman? -
woman bound to any degree of politeness
not binding upon man? Courage is ira
ditionally a masculine virtue, gentleness,
feminine. 1t there more inspiring sight
than that of a woman of high courage
whether in counteracting a husbands de-
spondency or caring for bereft family
or that of a man strong enough to be gem
tlef These qualities gather luster by
change of setting. A man is presumably
aggressive, a commercial characteristic,
more fault than virtue. Aggressive
ness has no just rights, except upon ques-
tions of morals, and there woman should
possess it equally with the man. Strong
and weak" are terms additionally char
acterizing men and women respectively,
born of physical contrast. On moral ques-
lions the terms are misapplied. And men,
tally, what woman aspires to weakness?
Self assertion to a domineering degree GER
tainly Is rs unlovely in man as in woman.

Carroll johnson.

Magnetism. beauty, cleverness, charm,
grace, power, wit. pathos and dancing.
Briefly stated, Carroll Johnson, the Irish
singing comedian, is the embodiment OF
all these delightful qualities. This charm
ing comedian who stands without a peer
in this line of work, appears here next
Thursday, Oct. s, at the Burtis at Dav-
export, in scenic production entitled.
"The Gossoon." The play has been
stamped with the seal of metropolitan
success, and is undoubtedly the most
originally clever Of its kind. inasmuch as
it lacks all the venerable conventional
features that have characterized Irish
drama 10 the past.
johnson is handsome young man still
in his thirties. and is the happy possessor
Of a nature as bright and warm as June
day.
As masterpiece of scenic marvel the
production is matchless.

Days Chosen by Suicides.

Years ago the great apostle of pessimism
noticed that June was the favorite month
for marrying and committing suicide. AS
he thought one WAS about bad as the
other, it seems evident that he believes
one cause would account for the frequency
of both occurrences in 1.-The month of
leaves and roses" Whether such is the
fact or not, it is certain that there are gen.
orally more suicides in June than dur
ing any other month of the year, and few
of them are committed on rainy or what
are known as dark and unpleasant days.
The Fourth of July, Thanksgiving day,
Christmas and New Years day, as well as
the evenings preceding them, are also
favorite times for committing suicide
To these may be added the anniversary of
ones birth or marriage.-Chicago Journal

A Common Mistake.

1t is remarkable how many people thsI e
are who nave that tired feeling who seem
to think i: is of no importance or thst
nothing need be done for it. They would
not be so careless if they realized how
really serious the malady is. But they
think or say 1T will go off after a while .
We do not mean the legitimate wesrinrss
which all ex experience after hard days
work, but that all gone. worn out feeling
which is especially oyerpoweriug in the
morning when the body should be re-
freshed and ready for work.
1t mistake to allow this condi.icn to
continue. rs the body may soon become
deblitsted beyond recovery, or some Ser
ious disease msv gain tenacious foot
hold. The craving of the system for as
distance should be grstified by taking
Hoods Ssrsapsrilla, the great building up
medicine. L. purif1es and vitalizes the
blood. regulates the digestion and really
does make the weak strong"

THE TORPEDO BOAT
The Graft Soon to be Launched
at Dubuque.

Seen at Rock Island-A Trfumphal jour-
ney That VIII Attract Thousands of Peo-
PIE all All Along the River.
The Iowa iron works at Du>
Is preparing to launch a steel
craft. which will he the mate
to the Gushing. This is the fret of
the new vessels built in interior waters,
and Its successful completion ought to
open the eyes of congressman in the
Mississippi valley to the fact that their
constituents and neighbors may have
local as well as national interest in
naval construction and seaboard defense
OF this little craft Secretary Tracy has
said that it represents g new and import
ant step in the development of the re-
sources of this country for purposes of
naval shipbuilding. Hitherto this work
has been done almost wholly On the At
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards Many
rolling mills and shops in the In terror,
especially in Pennsylvania. Ohio and II.
linois, have performed a share of the
work, but the ship building has been
done on the coast. The construction Of a
torpedo boat on the upper Mississippi,
however. opens up great possibilities for
development in this direction in the heart
Of the country" The launch Of torpedo
boat No. before the next session OF con-
gress will enforce this lesson.
The new boat is little larger than the
Gushing. but does not draw as much
water. The Gushing has a length on
load water line of 1881 feet, a breadth of
IA feet 10 inches, and a mean draught of
st feet, giving her displacement Of 40
| tons. The new boat has length Of $50
| feet. a breadth Of 153. and
normal draught smidships of
Al. with q displacement of 100 tons
She hiss 1900 maximum
horse power. against the Cushing's 1. 7eO.
| Each has twin screw, vertical quadrup'e
expansion engines. Each carries three
torpedo tubes, those of the Dubuque boat
being 1S-jnch Whiteheads, and the latter
| also has four 1-pound rapid fire guns.
while the Gushing has three. The con-
tract price of the hull and machinery of
the new boat is $11s 500. while that of
the Gushing was $50. $50.
According to the contract which was
awarded Sept. IS. 1891. torpedo boat
No. 2 should have been completed within
10 months, but unexpected hindrances
occurred. which will doubtless receive
liberal consideration. The policy of the
department is to encourage work in the
shpyards Of the interior.
When, therefore. the Dubuque torpedo
boat takes her course down the Missis-
sippi to Pens acola. where she is to be de-
livered to the government, she should
not only have a triumphal, but in some
sense q missionary tour.

JOHN sPROHS SUICIDE.
He Seats Himself in q Chair and Blows His
Brains Out.

Brains Out.
The saloon kept by the children Of the late
Andrew Sprohs at No. 4S3 C street northwest
was not opened at the usual hour this morning
and the cause Of the doors being kept closed
was CHASTITY sight that was presented in a
room just in rear Of the bar. The late Andrew
Sprohs was oneof washington's old and re-
spected citizens, and it was his brother, John
Sprohs, who had enacted the tragedy in the room
this morning. Two years ago John Sprohs
returned from the west on a visit to his reIa-
tives and friends in Baltimore and this city,
and most OF the time he has spent at his
brothers home. Recently, it is stated, he has
shown signs Of mental trouble.
He retired last night as usual and nothing
more was heard Of him until his dead body was
discovered about 6 O'Clock this morning
1t is thought that he had taken his life a short
time before his body was found. He had left
his room on the second floor and gone down
stairs to the dining room. He was in his stock
ing feet and shir. sleeves.
SHOT HIMSELF THROUGH THE HEAD.
Seating himself on chair in the middle Of
against his temple and pulled the trigger, send
The unfortunate mans head fell back and his
body still rested on the chair.
No one heard the report of the shot nor was
the suicide missed from his room until one of
his nieces, who went down stairs to open the
place, discovered the CHASTITY sight. There was
one revolver in his clenched fist and another on
the floor at his feet. Blood from the wound had
saturated the dead mans clothes and made a
stream along the floor for several feet.
NO INQUEST NECESSARY.
The police we're notified and they took charge
OF the pistols and left the body undisturbed
until the arrival Of the coroner. An inquest
was deemed unnecessary and a certificate of
death in accordance with the facts was given.
Undertaken J. W. Lee prepared the body for
burial and shipped it to Baltimore for inter-
ment. The deceased was sixty-three years old
and leaves two daughters, who are living in the
west.

The Proposed G. A. r. Hall.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
/ noticed in last weeks STAR two communi-
cations, one signed X. and the other S., both
lamenting the fact that such O numerous BODY
of men as the Grand Army of the Republic
should not have hall of their own, which they
could call their home and where the different
posts could meet for business or pleasure as
occasions presented themselves l learn that
what now is called the Grand Army Hall costs
them in yearly rental between $1,000 and
81, OOO should think if the officers of the
different posts here would take the proper
measures they could raise sufficient funds 80
that the G.. A. r. posts could own their own
building in one Of the business streets of this
city. The lower floor could be utilized for
stores and let at rentals that would pay the in
terest on the best part of the cost of the ground
and building, the upper floors being reserved
for hall and meeting rooms. There are no
doubt, many veterans who would be willing to
donate literally, according to their means, to
this object. Eventually the whole structure
would be free from Indebtedness, and in the
meantime the present amount which il yearly
paid as rent would 60 q great way toward pay
ing the interest on the cost of the building. II
q stock company were started many outsiders
would undoubtedly be glad to take shares il
only to help the veterans to gain a home Of
their own at the capital of the United States,
As an instance of what can be accomplished
take the example Of the Washington Light In
fantry corps, body consisting Of only about
100 men, who own their own building, having
acquired it by the means suggested as prac-
ticable in the case of the @. A. K. The number
Of G. A. II. men in this city is so great thew
certainly should be able to do aG much.

Tho Driver Badly Injured.

Yesterday runaway took place at the West
ern Market, and although one man was hurt
many escaped serious injury. The street was
full of people, and in the yard was one of the
HYGIENE Ice Company's teams, and the horses,
becoming frightened at the music, made dash.
Fortunately for the crowd the wagon hung at
the gate and Sergeant Myers and some Of the
officers pacified them, but the driver, James
Mann, was caught between the brake lever and
seat and squeezed into on unconscious condi-
ton. He was removed to the third precinct
station and was attended by DIR. Kleinschmidt.
and after some time be recovered sufficiently TO
walk to his home, No. Green's court.
