THE
What They Think of 1t.

The New York Herald has formed
consensus Of foreign opinion about the
Worlds fair by making collection Of
extracts from newspapers abroad. They
arc chiefly from French, German and
British papers, though one bitter com.
plant comes from Bombay, India, that
tho fair managers themselves "try 10
make as much of the almighty dollar as
khey can and squeeze it out of the I'M
fortunate people who have unconsciously
placed themselves In their clutches" On
the other hand, the correspondent Of
the London Globe declares that one Of
the biggest Of the big things in con-
nection with this fair is its deadhead
list and that ON a certain Sunday there
were not less than As, 900 admissions to
the grounds on passes. A Berlin cor
respondent affirms that the manage
lnent of the fair would be glad to sell
the prizes to the highest bidder.
1t is q pity when a woman writer is
caught deliberately lying. 1t somehow
goes against all newspaper women. We
regret, therefore, to see that the letter
Of the lady correspondent of The London
Hawk is one tissue Of spite and false
hood. She tells her paper, does this We
racious "lady," that Mrs. Potter Palmer
regularly dresses in purple velvet and
wears diamonds to breakfast; that the
husband Of this lady, who "leads 'sas-
siety' here In Chicago" is man that
keeps drinking bar and hotel" By
the way, we wonder if 1t is any worse
for an American millionaire to keep
hotel than for noble duke to run line
of cabs in London or for titled lady of
the British aristocracy to draw her in
come from milliner shop9 The woman
speaks Of Mrs. Palmer's funny zen
deavors to ape the manners of the Brit
ish aristocracy." If Mrs. Palmer had
no better manners than many of the
British sristocracy have, her country
men wouldn't own her.
The morsel Of truth and decency that
is found in the criticisms seems to be
that there was in the beginning lack
of the organization and foresight neces-
sary to conduct the fair in the best man.
ner. Tho directory had a greater thing
than they realized at first. But it is Ger.
tain that this lack is already made up.
Another criticism, and just one, was
made on the unfinished character of the
exhibits. That was the fault of exhibit
ors themselves, and the lesson ought to
sink deep into the American heart. Then
there is the old cry of extortion, which
will frighten away some foreigners per-
haps. Here, too, however, Chicago res
taurant and lodging house keepers have
had their lesson, and it will be sufficient.

An eastern daily records the suicide
of nine persons in one day within ra-
dius Of few hundred miles. All were
men, and three of them killed themselves
because they had embezzled funds in
trusted to their care in business.
1t has been observed that most Of the
suicides occur in the hottest season of
the year, when mems brains are broiled
and their blood frenzied with the heat.
Many of those who thus put themselves
out of the world are leading members of
society and of church in their respec-
tive neighborhoods. 1t is evident that
Christianity had no hold on their minds,
or they would not have dared to take
away the lives that had been given them
to make wise use of.
In the old Greek mythology it was
taught that suicides wandered on the
shores of the river Styx 300 years before
they were allowed to cross. They fit
ted hither and thither, homesick shades,
belonging neither to this world nor the
next. 1t is the oriental belief that the
man who kills himself must hover dis
consulate about the scene of his earth
life till the natural term of his existence
here expires. 1t certainly seems that if
there is any hereafter the individual
who cowardly shuffles out before he has
done his work will have to undergo
some dread purgation ere lie can join
the spirits that departed peacefully when
their time WIS up. If one Las done q
wrong on earth, this earth is the place
to right 1t. II ono has been wretchedly
unhappy, unsuccessful and disappointed
in his cherished earthly hopes, this world,
not the next, is the place for one to buckle
