JUMPED FROM THE BRIDGE.
MIR. FROHME, SR., TOOK HIS
OWN LIFE
In a Tragic Manner Yesterday
Morning at Ten O'clock-Sup-
posed to Have Been Tenn
porarily Deranged.

About ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing, VIM. Frohme, Sr., an aged and
highly respected German citizen, COM
mitted suicide by jumping from the
suspension bridge to the water below
MIR. Frohme was about seventy years
of age. and father of August Frohme,
MANAGER of Factory III" United
States Glass Company, Henry Frohme,
of the Eighth ward fire department
and VIM. c. Frohme, well Known
cigar maker.
Mr. Frohme lived for many years IN
the Eighth ward, but has lately been
making his home with his son-in-law,
Charles A. Myers, on the Island. NOT
withstanding his advanced age, MI.
Frohme is active for man OF his
years. and managed to walk about the
city with the aid of cane. He has
been in poor health for some time, and
it is thought that this fact caused him
to worry to such an extent that his
mind became deranged.
Yesterday morning he left the resi-
dence of Mr.. Myers and started for
the city. He spent some time about
town and shortly before ten O'CLOCK
started across the suspension bridge
on his way home. When about the
middle of the bridge, he stopped look
ed about in all directions, and then
devested himself of his coat and vest,
which he hung upon the railing. lie
climbed to the top of the railing, and
leaned to the river below. His body
turned over several times in falling,
and he alighted on his back After
coming to the surface, he did not sink
a second time.
One of the officials of the ferry boat
Charleston, while standing on the ISL
and shore, noticed the peculiar con-
duct of Mr.. Frohme, and suspecting
his intentions, called to August Wag-
ner and William Rutherford, who were
in q eEiff near the shore, to row out
into the river.
me Two men started from the shore
Nos~~a Mr.. Frohme leaped from the
bridge, and were but short distance
away when his body struck the water.
He was floating down on the surface
when the men caught him, and al
though in an unconscious condition,
life was not yet extinct. He was
placed in the skiff and taken to the
shore, where he breathed his last.
Death was probably caused by the con-
cussion. Drs. Dickey and Billiard were
summoned, but the unfortunate man
had expired when they reached the
spot.
Coroner ]. w. Schultz was immedi-
ately notified by telephone, and under
his directions the remains were re-
moved to Bertschy's undertaking es-
tablishment, where the inquest was
held. The principal testimony was
given by Pilot GILES, of the ferry boat,
who was probably the only eye-wit-
ness to the affair. He saw the man on
the bridge, but supposed he was at
tending to the lights. When he saw
him falling to the water he supposed
that he had been blown off the bridge
by the wind.
The verdict was rendered in accord
ance with the facts as narrated upon.
The news of the sad fate of Mr.. Froh-
me caused general sorrow among his
friends throughout the city, and espec-
tally in the Eight ward, where he was
we'll and popularity known.

than his Diplomacy" which will be

it has attracted widespread attention.
The play was first produced in this
country at Wallack's Theatre, New

"The County Fair" will hold the

tomorrow night. 1t is a very realistic
production. The exact reproduction Of
a country living room; the yard, the
barn. and all the living things that
dwell therein; the husking bee, with
its gathering of country people, all
bring one back to scenery that one
has known more or less intimately.
A little that is natural as well as pa

LOVES SYMBOL.

My heartstrings we're touched one day
as passed into cot to pay visit to a
poor family. found a widow and seven
children, and they all sat round the ia
BILE, and were having some porridge.
She put it into a dish and then served
it out, and l could see she had only
enough meal to supply the children.
Ole of the little boys noticed this, and
said: Mother, haven't you got any?'
The poor mother seemed to be interested
in what l said; she went on talking to
me and would not appear to hear the
boy. But he said: Mother, haven't
you got anything?" She told him to go
on with his dinner; but he looked in the
dish and saw there was no more porridge
there, and asked her again: Haven't
you any, mother?" She burst into
tears and said: mo, | haven't" ooh,
them he said, "you must eat out of my
dish, spoonsful for spoonful, for won't
touch mine till you have had some"
Now that child loved his mother; but
Gods love is greater than that, for he
loved even his rebellious children. God
commendeth his love toward us in that
while we were yet sinners Christ died for
us.'-R. Weaver.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUCTIoN.-GoveT by king is
better than anarchy.-A great nation can exist
only when the controlling power for natural as
sault or defense is delegated to central govern
ment.-There was longing for the show and
glitter of royalty among the Hebrews; they did
not fairly count the cost. Royalty, for all the
nations possessing it today. is an inexpensive
luxury. Saul did well.-as every young man
does well- fit himself for the service of his
country.--Samuel made choice of evils when
he surrendered the Theocracy, which was vir-
tualy Republic to the royalists. The failure
or his own sons to maintain the integrity of the
Judgeship. may have largely influenced him to
have kingship tried.
% 1913. The demand for a king dsap-
proved yet granted. Samuel tried to impress
on the people their own responsibility for the
step they were now taking. Their government
had hitherto been almost without expense; he
wished them to understand (s:1O 22) that it was
they the people, who must pay for the pomp of
a royal court He wished them to understand
also that in forsaking the Theocracy they were
in sense tuning their faces from Jehovah,
hitherto their only King.
(2.) " 20 %. The king chosen by the people.
While there may have been in the election some
appeal to chance, it is fair to assume that 1t was
on the whole the result of an intelligent choice
by the people. God confers on kings their rights
on through the general consent of the gov
erned.-Sagacity was exercised in making the
selection of the candidate for royal honors first
from the tribe of Benjamin; second from the
Matrtes; third. from the Ksh branch of the
Matrite family; fourth, of the young, handsome,
athletic, giant-sized Saul.--It was probably in
this early period an old hailing sign to royalty
that greeted the man on whom had fallen the
royal honors. God save the king. 1t is the for
mula OF acclaim which will greet the next new
made King in Christendom.
81 " 24-27 Saul received as king. 1t is to
be observed that Israel proposed under Samuel's
direction. to be constitutional monarchy. Be-
fore Samuel sent the people to their homes the
constitution of the nation was agreed upon and
deposited with the priests. 1t is interesting
to observe that while there was loyal league.
there was also an obstructionist minority party.
1t is satisfactory to observe that the new
made king is not hottie AIDED. but modest.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-11-02

what was to be done, whether another
man was to be chosen in the absence OF
Saul, the answer was that Saul was to
be chosen, accompanied by the message,
Behold. he hath hidden himself among
the stuff. This means that he had, with
modesty we can believe to be genuine,
concealed himself in the baggage of the
encampment. shrinking from the great
office and high duties which we're now
apparently awaiting him.
Enthusiasm in behalf of the coming
king suddenly rose to great fervor. He
was brought from his retirement. When
he stood among the people. he acds high
er than eng of the people from has
shoulders and uplcdrd. He was intro
duced by Samuel to the populace as the
one whom the Lord had chosen. And
the people bailed him with the royal
hailing- words of the generations, God
SAFE the king.
3. Saul Received as King,
24-27.
After this election of their royal head
the representatives of the people re-
manned for period at Mizpah and Ra-
NAH. A constitution, for the govern
ment of both king and nation, was writ
ten by Samuel and deposited with the
priests. How far this scroll comedies
with the extant Jewish Law, it is i'm
possible to definitely decide; but that
our knowledge of the law descends to us
in part through this contribution of
Samuel is not improbable.
When Saul went to his home in Glib
eah. to await his call and coronation. he
was followed by band of loyal men who
touched by the spirit of patriotism, were
eager to serve their country under the
new king.
And there was the usual remonstrat
ing minority. However excellent and
we'll meaning these people of the opposi-
ton may have been, the writer of the old
annals does not hesitate to designate
them as sons of Belial, that is, Children
Of the Worthless. 1t was reckoned not
to their credit that, when the loyal ma
ton was enriching the young king with
gifts, they brought him no presents.
But it is hopeful thing in the young
king that he takes no offence at those
who speak contemptuously of him, say
ing, HoaU shall this man SAGE as? He
holds his peace; he bides his time.

ON WRITING FOR A NEWSPAPER

One said yesterday he wanted to write
for a newspaper. and asked what he
should write about.
Write about? Write about? Why,
write about anything in this great city,
in this wide world, that interests you;
and write about nothing that does not
interest you. You will be an uncom
mon man if what interests you interests
no one else. You will be a fortunate man
if what interests you interests many. AS
your sympathies, your lines of thought,
are broad or narrow, you will write for
large or small number.
In the next place, write not line, not
a word, when you find you have ceased
to interest yourself. Ones own candid
judgment is not unlikely to be the sever
est critic. Appeal to that-obey that.
Does it tell you you are writing against
space? Stop at once.
In the third place, consider the art of
putting things. Beef and potatoes will
keep man from starving, but when you
prepare for the public it is banquet
you are spreading. Decorate your table
with the figures of cut glass and the
flowers of fancy, the white table-cover of
truth, the napkins of style. and the dark
red wine of life. And yet not too much
decoration-but just enough and no
more. A few failures will teach quite
as we'll as small successes.
In the fourth and last place, be sure

LESSON STORY.

1t was naturally a disappointment
and grief to Samuel in his old age to
have delegation of the elders of Israel
wait on him at Ramah. making this I'M
vanished statement and surprising re-
quest: Behold, thou art old, and ting
sons aoalk not an thy acays: noae make
as king to Judge as like all the na-
tons.
Samuel, we may safely assume had a
fathers pride in his sons. Joel and Abb
jah. He had no doubt obeyed the. i'm
pulse of paternal affection when he had
appointed them his lieutenants, or as
sociate judges, and established them as
dispensers of justice in the southern sec
tion OF the nation, their headquarters
being at Beersheba. Now to be told by
the elders of Israel that his sons were
unworthy of succession to the judgeship;
that they had already disgraced them
selves by greed and bribe-tsking. -must
have been blow to the aged prophet
Judge. For the father now to become
had regarded with pardonable parental
partially, had followed the example of
the recreant sons of Eli, and proved
themselves utterly unworthy of the trust
or respect of the nation, -must have
been to him such shock as only par
ent in similar circumstances can know.
Naturally the request of the people
dispIedsed Samuel. Hitherto Israel had
been a nation without an earthly king.
1t was essentially republic. Jehovah,
as voiced by leader, judge, or a
prophet, was Israels only King. There
had been left to the people the freedom
of individual and tribal influence in the
national policy. While the patriotism
of the people had, it is true, at times
failed, and the nation had thereby been
left prey to its assailants, there had
nevertheless always been a reserve of
devotion which. when called forth by an
inspiring leader, had uniformly rescued
the nation from its enemies. There
had now been, at the lesson. date, twenty
years of prosperous peace for Israel.
There was little or no expense to the
nation attending the traditional form of
government, and this government had
been strong while-or whenever the
people gave to it their united and loyal
support. 1t was judicious in Samuel
to show to the elders the advantages
they were sacrificing in abandoning the
Theocracy; what dangers they would
incur by inviting any mortal to rule
over them; how sure the result would
be that extorti on ard oppression. such
as had been in small degree complained
of 10 his sons,-would become the IN
limited habit of their kipgs.
But the people coveted the glittering
show and the martial advantages of au
earthly kingdom. They wished to be
in fashion among the nations.
And Samuel was large enough in his
patriotism to direct the national inclina-
ton, which he could not eradicate.
