ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
A Commission Merchant Ends His
Troubles With a Bullet.

a.-.-
Herman Greenburg, fifty years old, OF
No. SIS Laidlaw avenue, Jersey City
Heights, committed suicide by shooting
himself in the temple with a 3S-calibre re-
yolyer some time between Saturday mid
night and six o'clock AN. Sunday. His
wife saw him lying in a pool OF blood in the
back ward with the revolver lightly clutched
in his left hand, when she opened the win
dows at half-past six. She notified the
police, who in turn notified county
Physician Converse. The body was then
removed into the house.
Onlv one person heard any pistol shot
during the night, and that was Mrs. Colun-
ski, a next-door n%eighbor, who says 1T oc-
Cured about 1915 AM, but thinking it
was a police officer shooting a dog, paid no
attention to it. This could be the very
time, as Greenburg left the house shortly
after twelve o'clock midnight. He was a
produce commission merchant at Duane
and West streets, New York City, and al
WAYS left the house about that time to go to
business.
The cause of the deed is supposed to be
dependency. About three weeks ago he
ntortgaged his house for $4,000, and had
not been really himself since, and his family
attribute the mad act to worry
He was playing cards in Feeney's, at st.
PauI's and Oakland avenues, Saturday
night until eight o'clock, when he got up
and said be thought he'd go home and take
an extra long sleep, as he did not have to
get up SO early in the morning. As he left
the saloon he laughed and joked in a
spirits. He had a large circle of friends,
and much sympathy is expressed for his
family. His funeral will be held tomorrow
from his late residence.

THE RACE IMPROVING PHYSICALLY

Gloomy prophecies of the future of the
human race, owing to tight lacing, are be
ing circulated here. They are evidently
being repeated by popular writers, in
spired from non-mebical sources across
the channel. We read of the disappear
ance of the roots of the dorsal nerves
in so per cent. of DR.. Charpy'S patients,
and about women possessing the extra rib
We also read that wasp waists will make
men and women assume the form n
character of wasps. These absurdities
need no REPUTATION. Tight lacing no
doubt exists to some extent in this coun-
tryand produces bad results. 1t exis-
ted Just as much or more, 80. 60, and 100
years ago. Nevertheless, our eyes may
convince us that the race has not de-
generated. Indeed, English women
seem to be growing fiiner and taller
than ever, though their mothers Were
widely addicted to tight lacing. In the
richer classes golf, lawn tennis, and the
abandonment Of ''fnhe ladyism" of the
bad old type account for the superior
development of contemperaneous wom-
anhood. The experience of hospital doc
tors also tends to show that the women
of the poor are bigger and healthier than
their mothers. As for the male youth or
Great Britain, their mothers vanity
has done them very little, if any harm
