ALL IN THE WAY BLACK IS WORN.

There are good many persons who
do not think black becoming, but thiS'
is entirely owing to the way they wear
it. Dead black, enlivened by color,
is suitable for any person of any age
or condition. Collar, cuffs, vest or
fichu of some becoming color and
material, will improve any black dress
and always looks pretty.

CHARITY TOUCHES THE STRINGS.

The heart of Washington throbs now with
more than wonted vigor. 1t has been quick
ened by the articles in TIE TINES upon the
condition Of the poor ~ the city.
Those suffering families for whom the
future looked dark indeed have learned anew
the axiom There is a silver lining TO every
cloud Generous hands and hearts pulsating
with warmest sympathy have provided them
with food for the time being, and those who
can work will be given enough to keep dire
poverty at bay.
There are many more hundreds, perhaps,
whose struggle with despair is being made in
secret and who hide with martyrs patience
the wounds they receive. It viii be the
earnest effort of The TIMES TO discover
throughout the coming winter these suffering
feIlow-men, and either by publication or pri-
vate effort, 10 bring them into contact with
the workers in charitys cause.
Everybody should lend hand. Lay aside
food, clothes and money. Send them to the
charity organizations and the police Winter
has given US taste Of his icy grip. Act now
before lives have been chilled forever.
Give as the widow gave her mite, quickly,
cheerfully, gratefully. 1t is not maintaining
paupers. 1t is helping men, women, and
children who are suffering the pangs of
hunger, the cold Of winter, the gnawing Of
despair.

even so is done unto Me-

TEE SHANE OF A GREAT STATE.

The story Of the bloody riot at Wash
ington Court House. Ohio. is not with
out its moral. Briefly retold, an infuriated
mob while attempting to take negro raw
isher out OF the custody Of legal and military
guards, was fired upon. Six persons are
either dead or dying and an unknown num-
Der has been wounded.
Twothoughts will suggest themselves to any
one who has kent pace with occurrences of a
similar character in recent years. Had this
high-handed overriding Of constituted author
ity taken place in any Of the Southern States.
there is no doubt that editorial hands north
Of Mason and Dixon's line would have been
thrown up in holy horror, and the finger Of
scorn and condemnation would have been
pointed at the land where lynchings are more
numerous than elsewhere, because the raw
material out of which ravishers are made is
perhaps more abundant in the semi-tropics
than in higher latitudes.
But this outrage. this saDguinary conlic
between the unarmed mob and the bayon-
eted gendarmes. has actually occurred in
the great and superlat1vely civilized common
wealth Of Ohio. What have YOU to say to
this. gentlemen ofthe long phylacteries?
II is non sequitur to say that there was
"ample justification for 1t, !" for that is just
what they say down South, and if desperate
diseases require heroic re hedies in the North,
why not in the South? Tuis, by the way,
without prejudice to the question as
whether or not lynehing is ever iustifiable.

remarks Of President spohn. He makes out
his case clearly and logically and it demands
careful consideration.
The Washington times., 1894-10-19

reading the blood-stained record from Ohio
is that somebody is TO blame for the slaughter
Of the citizens, whether or not they were in
open rebellion against the law. We do not
fear to risk the statement that there was un-
necessary delay in massing a sufficient num-
Der OF troops at Washington to awe the mob
and hold it in subjection. There at least
was clear oversight on the part of the off,
cials that the conditions required heavier
hand Of restraint than was imposed. The
mob dared to attempt TO make its own law
simply because its angry, irrational elements
knew they were the superior force on the
field.
The great State of Ohio, appalled, at the
lawlessness displayed within its borders. and
in sorrow at the tragic deaths of citizens at
the hands of citizens, should have few criti-
cisms TO pass on the Southern lynchings for
some time to come.

SUICIDE OF LOVERS.

Ever since Hero sought death in the waves
Of the Hellespont because her Leander had
perished in its flood suicides innumerable of
fond lovers hav e been chronicled. But few
of them, it is true, have had their sorrows
and untimely takings-off mbalmed in verse
by famous poets and romancers, but the in
disputable fact remains that many lovers
have committed suicide for diverse and sun
dry more or less insufficient reasons.
Recently the suicidal epidemic among low
ers of both sexes, either singly or in pairs g.
has become apparently very pronounced.
Whether it is really increasing or simply more
noticeable because of the greater publicity
given to all events through the newspapers
may lie open to question, though we incline
10 the belief that suicides among heaTtsick
youths and maidens are becoming alarmingly
frequent.
The psychological question opens up: What
is there in love that should predispose its vic
Tins to the "felo de SO" process? What subtle
connection exists bet ween the 'passion OF
passions" and the tendency to infiict death
upon ones self OF course, it will be an
swered that the suicidal mania aflicts COM
paratively small percentage of lovers, male or
female, but yet the number of self-slain beaux
ard bellies is constantly swelling, and the sub
ject is well worth investigating, for "all the
world loves a lover" and does not want him,
or her, or them, to shuttle :off this mortal coil
in any but the orthodox and approved fash
ion.
Crusty old bachelors will not be lacking to
say that as love is a species of insanity, it is
not at all strange that those saturated with it
should do all sorts of unaccountable things,
suicide among them. But this opinion. COM
ing from preiudiced source, cannot and will
not be accepted as of any value. Some other
reason must be sought. Is the severe strain
under which the people of the close of the
nineteenth century live, the wear and tear
| upon their physical and mental organizations.
exercising its influence even upon those TO
whom should be "alI seasons summer and all

denotes Of the age invaded even the realm of
romance, and tinged with darker hues the

What is the matter, anyway? Can some
body tell?

NEW YORK, Oct 1S.-For some time it has been
argued by the bulls that the New York cotton
market would make stand at 6 cents for mid
ding uplands, but to-day, under the great
pressure brought TO bear OH the contract mar
ket, middling upland sold at 15-16C Even at
this point business could not go on, and some
sales as low as 55s are reported to have been
made. The Liverpool market is selling off in
keeping with the decline here, and is now at
lower level than ever before in the history Of
English cotton trade, While speculative sup
port is still withheld from the market, il is OBJ
served that the Lancashire spinners are begin
ming to accumulate supplies of cotton, and in
addition to this, advices from the South indicate
that the movement in the United States is be-
ing retarded by the demand in Southern mills
Advices also reach here to the effect that mer-
chants in the South are advising their constitu-
ents to hang on to their cotton in preference to
sending 1t to the market at present low prices
The short interest at this point is enormous, and
the price is low that it is argued that any fur
ther decline must be very gradual, while the
market Is left subject to violent spurts on the
appearance of any buyer news to cause the
shorts to cover
