yesterday for demanding 5000 of Edwin
Gould, showed Col. E. E. Phelps, a real
estate dealer in this city, several months

ing for $1,000 He said in the letter that
Gould owed him the money for losses he
had suffered by joining in a strike of tele-

Mr.. Phelps a letter from Gould promising TO
investigate his claim. Andrews asked
Phelps to use his influence with NJ. ID.
Wood, manager for the Western Union
company in this city, to secure for him
(Andrews) a better position than he held in
the company's service, and Andrews at the
time told Phelps that if Wood refused him
what he wanted he would fix him.

NOT PHILOSOPaER,

The case of L. W. Lowell, q Boston man
who has just committed suicide, will at
tract good deal of attention. He was
good citizen, prosperous, at one time an
influential member of the Massachusetts,
Legislature, of genial temperament, COM
panionable, in perfect health, well edu-
Gated, active and interested in a wide range
of affairs. There was no reason apparent
why he should voluntarily and premature
ly leave world which had treated him
well. But, while on his way from Boston
to Portland by boat, he jumped overheard,
sank, and was seen no more. In his state
room an explanation Of his act was found.
He had addressed letters to a number of
personal friends, telling them that he was
about to take his life, and the manner of
doing SO. He said that the purpose was
formed many years before to do this thing
sooner or later; that he had resolved, how
ever, to wait until as much happiness as
possible should have been obtained by liv-
ing in the world; that this object was fully
accomplished at length; that he had found
life very happy, its ambitions gratified, it's
friendships sweet and that now he pro-
posed to leave this world, not because he
was not still happy in it, but in order to
try whether yet greater happiness might
not be found in another world. In these
letters he dwelt particularly on his desire
to ''solve the great mystery" of death and
the hereafter. He congratulated himself,
and called upon his friends to rejoice in
thinking of him, that at the moment when
they would be reading those last words he
would already have entered upon the COM
plete knowledge for which he and they had
80 long yearned.
OF course it will he argued that this man
was insane in spite of his apparent sanity.
But If he was not his reasoning wasn't very
good. He was mere inquisitive than a
true philosopher is justified in being. He
is the wiser man who doesn't feel impelled
to kill himself in order to learn something
he doesn't know. A disproportionste
thirst for knowledge is not a mark of a
truly healthy mind. Mr.. Lowell took an
| unjustiiable risk in precipitating himself
into another world hoping or believing
that he was going to know more or be
happier than in this. He did not act at
all prudently. And he showed him
self to be an egotist rather than
q philosopher. He may baTe dis
| covered by this time that his zeal fer
knowledge was overdone, and that 1t was
not important that he should know things
or be happier. 1t is possible, too, that he
hasn't improved his condition, and has
only found that ne has increased his in
quisitiveness and discomfort. BE WAS in q
hurry when he should have been patient,
and 1t has often been found that hurry
isn't progress.

THE ATTACK ON THE POOL ROOM.
Without waiting for the new Inv against
the pool rooms to become operative, Mr..
Matthewmsn, the assistant prosecuting at
torney, has attacked the pool room in this
city under the old law against gaming and
keeping place where gaming is carried
on. 1t Ia the opinion of many who are
competent to give an opinion that the old
law can be made efectiveif If it Is properly
and persistently applied. Mr.. Matthew
man thinks II can be and he has begun to
apply 1t. His first move was q thorough
one, and we have no doubt that the cases
he has brought will be persistently pushed
by him. Their progress will be watched
with deep interest by all who have been
fighting the pool room evil, and who have
labored for q new law because they were
told that there wssn't law enough. We
shall soon see whether there. is or not.
Mr.. Matthewman has done and will do his
duty in this important matter, and Judge
Gable, before whom the cases will come,
can be depended on to do his. All who
are interested in the good name and the
welfare of New Haven will hope that the
prosecution which has been begun can be
carried to successful issue.
