A STRANGE WORLD.

The remarkable credulity of some
people, who are swindled by the shall
lowest tricks, even In this age of news
papers, is frequently q cause of mirth;
but occasionally their folly has tragic
end. The story Of an Eastern woman,
Mrs. Fries, who gave up the earnings
of lifetime of herself and two men,
bers of her family for a lot of worthless
brass filings mixed with sand, In the
belief that she was buying gold-dust,
and who fell dead when she learned
how she had been swindled, is a case
in point. The sum she parted with was
$4,000 The transastion was managed,
1t is charged by her family, by ped
dler named Schaefer who introduced
the Fries family to the "gold-dust"
owners, two Polish Jews who claimed
to have come from Russia, where they
had purchased the stuff from mine
owners, cheap"
1t seems strange that woman
shrewd enough to accumulate $65OO,
cher share of the loss) by the time she
was so years old. should be so readily
deceived by this shallow game; but
the passion to get rich quickly has
turned many a wiser head. Mrs. Fries
and her sons made money, and were
happy while they stuck to the busi-
business they understood, that of fat
rendering When they entered into the
money metal speculation they lost their
heads, Just as some of our learned
statesmen seem to have done.

Attempt at Suicide.
II flight Have Been Prevented.
TFrom the Boston POST

from tne Boston fOSL.
While the walks in the Public Garden
we're crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.3O o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were mortified to see man suddenly plunge
a knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to
the ground.
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor.
nation regarding himself. He was taken to
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About o'clock last night
hospital attendant got little information
from him, He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
tn turn. What impelled him TO commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
IL above is the familiar but terrible
story Is the results of mental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have deafness headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with a-i'rc4oIy or
despondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

The Salem Statesman says: 1--WE

regards the relative size of Astoria
and Salem, with several grains of al
lowance. However, Astoria is a good
town. And 1t will grow better and bet
ter as her fondest railway hopes APP

lem will receive greater benefits, per-
haps, than any city in Oregon by the
building of a line OF rail from the val
ley to the sea, for we expect to be on
the main line-if not that we will build
a branch to connection with the main
line, The operation of railroad from
the valley to the sea is a consummation
devoutly to be wished for by Salem as

All of which is very nice and very
true, with the exception of the grains

bad form and bad policy.

Nothing but free coinage of silver at
a ratio Of 16 to will put stop to the
silver agitation.-Denver News.
1t does not matter about the agita-
ton. The fact is, the country is not
going to go on buying silver because
there is a silver trust, represented by
senators and others. This trust can be
made more odious than any other mo-
nopoly in the country. 1t is atrocious
and preposterous. AS the Sherman law
has been construed and Is worked, IT
is one Of the most remarkable cases of
injustice to the people at large to be
found in human records. The game
Of changing the silver of trust into
gold, at the general expense, is played
out; and If those engaged in it agitate
themselves to death, still the procession
of the seasons will move on.
