a memorial recently erected 10 the
memory of a popular New York clergy
man is in the form of street foun-
tain to supply thirsty men and
beasts with ice-cold drinking water.
The practice OF dedicating "a monu-
ments some practical work for doing
good is on the increase, and certainly
there could be no more appropriate,
and no more effective way Of keeping
a good mans memory green, than to
have it daily associated with deeds of
kindness and charity.

10 Err IS Human. to Forgive Divine.
\ citizen of this place who visited
Mr.. James II. Pine at the Moundsville
penitentiary recently, reports that
the unfortunate man has so aged and
changed in appearance during his
brief confinement as to be hardly rec
oguizable. The prisoner stated that
he hadn't u single relative in the
world. In talking over his trouble
he broke down and wept bitterly, say
ING he did not believe he would live
through the remaining months of his
term.
If the citizens of this town have
any humanity they will sign a petit
ton for Pines pardon. His conduct
NAV not have been just as one could
wish it, but we are Of the opinion that
his punishment has been amply suf-
fcient already. SO far as our knowl-
edge of him goes we would trust him
to-day before many who are enjoying
the blessings of the free. Had he
been a man of means it is highly prob
able that he would never have seen
the inside of n prison.
Ii is related of him that on one oc-
casion. when certain public school
teacher became too i'll to attend to
his duties, Pine taught in his place
for one month and when he received
the salary for the months work he
carried it to the sick man, who had
a family, while he Pine had none,
although he was himself badly in
need of money at the time. This is
christian charity" that is not 10 be
found in every heart Such errors OF
Judgment as Pine may have been
guilty of he has now had ample time
to reflect upon and repent of, and we
do not believe his liberation would
menace society in any way. Let US
try to give him another chance in the
world-Harper's Ferry Sentinel.
We heartily concur with the Sentinel
and think the citizens should interest
themselves in securing his pardon as
he has been sufficiently punished for
his wrong doing.

LIFEs TROUBLE TOO GREAT.
And Joseph Bednach Ended 1t
With a Cup of Acid.

Old and lntlrm, without money. with
little 70 eat and no opportunity to get
work, Joseph Bednach took the long
chance and ended his life last night by
drinking a cupful of carbolic acid.
Bednacn and his wife lived in the
One-stOry shanty in the rear OF 627 st.
Clair street. He was fifty-seven and his
wife two years younger. Bednach has
been out of work since last spring.
and he and his wife have had
a hard time to get the necessaries
of life. Last evenieg he seemed more
respondent than ever, and about 9
o'clock left the house. His wife went
to bed, but was awakened about IL
o'clock by her husband, who, handing
her cup containing liquid of some
Kind told her to take drink. The cup
contained about half pint of carbolic
acid, and as Mrs. Bednach put it to her
lips the acid burned her severely.
She placed the cup on chair
at the side of the bed and
ran for water. When she returned to
the room Il moment later her husband
was lying on the floor, writing in ter
rible agony, with the empty cup still
grasped i'll his hand. The nearest neigh
bors were aroused, and as soon as pos
sIble DR.. Sweeney was at the house
At a glance the physician saw the des-
perate attempt at seif-murder had been
successful, but did all in his power to
save the mans life. The patrol
wagon was called and Bednach taken
to the city hospital. So large
was the dose that Bednach was, few
moments after swallowing the poison,
unconscious. Death came as he was
laid on the cot in the hospital yard.
Bednach was born in Germany, and,
with the exception of his wife, has no
relatives in this country. Mrs Bed

A Chinese bluff.

WASHINGTON, July IA letter re-
Gently received at the state department
from Mr.. Denny, the United States
minister to China, was accompanied by
proclamation issued by the Chinese
authorities in which 1t was stated
that 100, 900 Chinese who had returned
to China from the United States within
the past year would be prevented by
the law from again entering this
country. An investigation by the
treasury department has developed
that since 1893 less than $1,000 Chinese
have returned to their native country,
and the eXaggeration of the procIama-
ton is still more apparent when taken
into consideration with the weil-known
fact that only a small proportion of
Chinese leave this country with the in
tention of returning.
