The news of the past week has had
many striking instances of suicide or
ATTEMPT atsuclde through disappointed
or batlled love. Only recently there
were two stories, one of a young man
who had shot himself for love of a
Young woman whom his parents hud
prevented him from marrying; the
other of a young woman who poisoned
herself because her father had shut her
away from her lover. In these dozen
or more cases within few DAYS the
suicides have been of ali degrees of
prosperity and social condition, from
the rich and arlstoeratic Au,tian
noble to the poor tramp found iuce
downward in a jersey marsh.
At first glance 1t would seem that
the passion of love, thus triumphmg
over the most powerful primal human
instinct, the desire to live, had shown
itself to be the greatest OF all the pas
sions. But on closer inspection this
view. however splendid and gloomy is
seen to be iIIU~ory. Vanity, plHln

cent, all compelling love, The dramas,
the novels, the mistaken judgments of
such historic characters as Mark An
tony and Abelnrd ali unite to encour-
age this sort OF vanity, disguised as
love.
The result is that Young and hyster =
zeal persons are fond of regarding
themselves as the mourutuI victims If
grand love tragedies. They ransack
their imagiuatious for new agonies
They heap high the fire and watch the
stage confagration with terror and
admiration. Very many young people
60 through this and get over it.
Years, the pressure OF serious bust
ness, sense OF humor, experience Of
/ the excellence of the fish that still
abound in the sea and leap to hook or
net, tend to correct these vain imagin-
ings. But in few cases, such as these
of the past week, the hvstcria takes
snch hold that the Young idiot puts
himself or herself beyond the reach
OF cure-eyen the effective and pleas
ing cure of another ,oyc affair.

Ii Would Seem Easy.

The good people of Magnolia, that
very exclusive section of the North
Shore, are very much perturbed be-
cause it is proposed to erect merry.
go-round within the sacred precincts.
The machine in itself is harmless
enough, but the Magnolians fear that
it will attract class of undesirable
dny visitors, or. as they ara termed in
london, "trippers The merry
go-round once in, they say, other
plebeian institutions will follow, until
the place will become what is known
as popular. "
If ! am not mistaken, it was the
residents of this part of the coast who,
some years ago, objected to whistli1g
buoy placed off a dangerous reefe,
by the government. The machine
made the most doleful noise whenever
the sea was agitated, the sound resem-
bling the groans of calf on the point
of corporal dissolution. The greater
the distance from the buoy the louder
seemed the sound, SO protest was
entered and the buoy was removed
during the summer months. 1t would
seem that if the residents could handle
the United States au horities success
fully, the thwarting of the managers
of merry go-roun! ought to be an
easy task.

May Escape a Strike.

Boston viii escape a strike of the
sweatshop workers unless there is an
attempt by the sweaters to reduce
wages or increase the hours of labor.
AT a special meeting of the executive
council OF the clothing trade, and "A
meeting OF the entire union, the ques-
ton of n strike was among the many
matters considered. Owing to the
dizziness of trade, coupled with the
fact that there is is disposition on
the part of the clothing trade con-
tractors to live up to last years agree
ment, the union decided to lay the
question of strike on the table. Many
suspended members were reinstated
at the last meeting, aud a consider
able sum was donated for the purpose
of agitating for an increase in the de-
mand for clothing bearing the label of
the United garment workers of
America. The members of the union
officially declare that this label upon
a ready.made garment is the only
absolute guarantee that the garment

CHICAGO, H., Aug 25-Dispatches from

Snake Kills Cows.

Nicholas Premier, n farmer Ivu9
near Spcchl's Ferryin WIscousln,irli-
the most wonderful snake story ever
heard IA that region
Premier says a monster serpent ap-
pcared in h,s pasture aud killed two
OF his cows 10y winding himself
around them. He saw one OF his
COWS in the folds of the snake, but
WAS afraid to interfere and ran away.
Returning later he found the COW
dead and large hole IL her flank.
The same thing was repeated next
day, AMI "a party was organized to
hunt the monster, but when they came
upon it they were also frightened and
allowed II TO escape. One man insists
that be saw 1t swallow a large calf.
Premier describes the snake as
about twenty-five feet long and three
feet in circumference in the middle.
The folds of the reptile left deep
creases in the animals killed. 1t Is
supposed the snake has escaped from
some meugerie.

When our democratic friends were urg-
ing tariff reform alias freer trade upon
the country in the presidential campaign
of 1892, they pretended to show that free
wool would help the farmers Of this coun-
try. They argued that it would take more
American wool to mix with the gigantic
quantity of foreign wool that was to come
In to supply the enormously increased de-
mand resulting from the impetus to WOOL
len manufactures resulting from the en-
actment of democratic tariff law, and all
classes would be benefited. The demo-
cratic law made it's appearance number
of months behind time, but as yet the
enormous demand for American wool has
not been felt, at least by the sheepbrecd-
ers, and tho latter are undoubtedly con-
WINGED that the democrats in this In
stance palmcd off upon them goat in
sleeps clothing.
There is every reason to believe that
tho smashing Of the wool tariff by dem
ocratic Congress has had the same effect
IN other wool producing States as in Vcr-
mont, and some idea of It's paralyzing In
auence in this commonwealth can be OBJ
tanned from the following figures takcr
from trade Journal showing the number
of sheep In 1890 and the diminished number
In 1896:
