Shot Into the Sea.

CANNES, March 25. An aeronaut
named Wilton, we'll known in America,
met a tragic death here to-day in an as:
cension. No car was attached to the
balloon and Wilton assembled hanging to
q rope. When fifteen hundred feet high,
the balloon was caught in a current OF
air that carried it rapidly seaward. 1t
was apparent that Wilton could not con-
troll the valve at the top of the balloon.
Helet 20 his hold of the rope from which
he dangled and his body shot down into
the sea with frightful velocity. The accl-
dent occurred in full view Of thousands
of spectators, and a number of women
tainted away. A number of pleasure
boats hurriedlv made their way to the
place where Wilton had fallen, and after
q short search his body was recovered.
His death must have been almost instan-
taneous.
Prior to the fatal ascent, Wilton sent up
several small balloons to ascertain the
direction of the wind. Finding it to be
landward, he dispensed with the large
car and used merely small platform
with rope attached. Many pleasure
craft were in the harbor when Wilton
struck, but none was quick enough to
reach him, although he survived his fall
about ten minutes. An examination OF
his body showed that he had received q
shattering blow on the right side of his
head. Had 1t not been for this wound,
he might have been able to keep himself
above water until help arrived.

Why DR.. Guthrie Became an Abstainer.

I was able to use without abusing.
But seeing to what monstrous abuse
the use of stimulants had grown, see
ing in what multitude of cases the
use was followed by the abuse and see
ing how the example of the upper
classes, the practices Of ministers, and
the habits Of Church members, were
used to shield and sanction indulgen-
ces so often carried to excess, | saw
the case to be one for the Apostles
warning :-"Take heed lest by any
means this liberty Of yours become a
stumbling-block to them that are
weak. +" Paul says of meat offered
unto an idol :-"Meat commendeth us
not to God for neither if we eat not
are we the worse" And will any man
deny, that, save in medical cases, [
can with the most perfect truth adopt
the words of inspiration, and say OF
these stimulants what Paul says OF
meat :-''Drink commendeth us not to
God; for neither if we drink are we
the better, and neither if We drink not
are we the worse ?" On the contrary,
the testimony of physicians, the ex-
perience of physicians, the experience
Of those who, in Arctic cold or Indian
heat, have been exposed to influences
the most trying to the constitution,
the experience also Of every one who
has exchanged temperate indulgence
for rigid abstinence, have demonstrat-
ed that, if we drink not, we are, the
better. -.
There is no greater delusion in this
world than that the health, or strength,
or joyousness is dependent on the use
of such stimulants. So far as happi-
ness is concerned, we can afford to
leave such means to those who inhabit
the doleful dens Of sin. They cannot
want them. They have to relieve the
darkness with lurid CLEANS. They
have to drown remorse in the bowl s
oblivion. They have to bury the
recollection Of what they were, and the
sense of what they are, and the fore
boding of what they shall be.

Children Commit Suicide Together.

OsKALoosA, IA, March 2O.-John Reed,
seventeen years old, and Eta Shaw, aged
sixteen, members Of two wealthy farni-
lies. contracted an affection for each 9TH
er that time only served to intensity.
The parents Of the girl thought nothing
of the boys attentions until few months
ago, when he surprised them by asking
for their daughters hand.
While thoroughly satisfied with their
daughters choice, the parents thought
both the children too young to marry
and told them to wait few years longer.
at the same time they thought it pru-
dent to check the visits of young Reed to
the house. This did not seem to have
the desired effect, as the youngsters
would meet clandestinely despite the
parental opposition. AS last resource
Miss Shaw's parents decided to send her
away for few months 70 the East, hoping
that the change of scenes and associates
would result beneicially.
It is believed that rather than be parted
the children resolved to die together.
Sunday night they met and went out
riding. They drove to clump OF woods
and threw a rope over the limb of tree.
Each end of the rope had running
moose in it, and these they placed around
their necks. Then q sharp cut OF the
whip sent tho horses and buggy forward,
leaving the boy and girl dangling In the
air.
The families of both the suicides arc
nearly crazed over the affair." Mrs.
Shaw, it is believed, will lose her reason,
If not her life, from the shock.

What an EmIgrant Says,

COLUMBUS, Ala, March 7.-An old
negro, named Gus Giddings, who lives
here tried the Liberian movement the
third year after his emancipation. He had
hard time, and tells his experience as
follows:
"Ben CASTOR, myself and wife and six
children and 500 colored people left this.

emancipation. Iknow CASTOR well, and
his statements of any good prospects in
Africa are false. We sailed from Savan-

is no place for the American negroes who
have been born and raised here with the
white people. They die out like hogs
with cholera. I was able to buy my ra-
tions from the stores furnished and kept
by merchants from the United States.
They got the money Ispent there. l

carried free by the emigration ship and

six months In Africa whether we liked it
