Coebert a well known Brooklyn IN. Y.)
contractor He is a man OF refined man
ners. well educated, of very good ap-
pearance, and weighs about 2f0 pounds.
He started away from Brooklyn several
DAYS ago under strain, had become
crazed by his business troubles, and In
a rash moment attempted TO take his
own life.
Coebert arrived in Richmond on We'd
nesday morning and registered at the
Jefferson as @. Coe, of New YORK.
As soon as the officers of the First Police
Station. where he was taken after having
cut himself. saw the man and conversed
with him, IL became evident to them that
he was travelling under an assumed
name While Coebert would not talk to
any newspaper men regarding his case,
he made a statement yesterday which
was given credence. He said he was
contractor in Brooklyn, and had built
ifty-odd houses in that city this year,
and had lost money on them. As re-
suit, he had become involved, and
had worried very much over it.

relieve him of the strain. on the other
hand. ne was not benefited mentally by
his travels, and made an attempt to
take his life, as has been stated in the
Dispatch.
Through one of the officers at the First
Police-Station Coebert sent a telegram
to his wife yesterday morning, and while
he had not heard from her at late hour
last night, he expects her to arrive here
to-day He says he will return to Brook
lyn as soon as he is able TO do so, and
try to straighten out his affairs.
Coebert was taken to the Retreat for
the Sick yesterday, and is under treat
ment by Dr. G. w. p. Brock, who says
he will be able TO go home In few days.
The would-be suicide made every effort
TO keep his real name from being known,
as he said he feared sensational publi-
cotfons at home.

CONNECTICUT CRANKS.

If there is community east of the Al
leghenies with life enough left in 1t to
do business. that has not criticised Kan
sas for crankism, we have not heard or
il Kansas has cranks in sufficient
number, but Kansas crankism is never
in the direction Of old fOgyism, but
rather along lines of supposed progress
sion. which might more properly be
termed, probably, innovations. For
case of genuine crankism one must go to
some mossback survival Of blue belly
ism. The Connecticut Legislature has
passed bill, and passed it by big
majority, prohibiting "all labor and
sport" on Sunday. By its provisions Nc
street cars can be run on that day, no
man or woman can take a spin on his or
her bicycle, and even little pleasure
drive behind the old family horse and in
the old shay is forbidden under pains
and penalties amounting to thirty days
and $50. The Lawrence Journal, in ed
itorially noting the degeneracy of this
New England community, says: I'VE
trust hereafter when the effete east
Jumps upon Kansas with its spike-toed
shoes. that Connecticut will graciousiy
refrain from saying anything about our
state being peopled with cranks."

Subtle and sweet the faint perfume
OF clustering Hlacs purpling bloom.
And the odor rare brings me back once
more
To the dear old home. by whose open door
The lilacs bloomed in days Of yore.
Happy days, happy hours. happy child
was
When the morn of life had a cloudless sky,
And the years on angel wings few by.
All! the carol of birds was not more free
Than the song of the child meath the lilac
tree.
The slow years freighted with many a care
Have clouded the skies that once were fair,
Leaving only fearful memory there
But Oft as comes the joyous Spring
The fragrant Hlacs a message bring.
A message of childhood. bloom and song,
At whose cadence sweet old memories
thrcng,
Till the f1ood-tide Of years. pent up so long.
Sweep over the soul with melody low,
Chanting the music of long ago.

LEAVING THE FARM.

An Indiana contemporary, the DEM
son Bulletin, has some encouraging
words to say about the dlscouraglng
subject Of rural population. Why the
young men insist on leaving the farms
TO stand all day before machines in a
dig city factory and take the chance of
being dispensed with when times are
slack is theme that would seem to he
as worthy of the attention of the pathet-
ic ballad singer as the theme of the once
rustic maiden who bids a visitor from
the country to just tell her folks that
YOU saw me and that l was looking
we'll" The Denison Bulletin says that
the western boy leaves the farm, not be-
cause the farm will not support him,
but because he is lonesome and weary
of farm life. He can make living"
SAYS the Bulletin; make it easier and
with less of worry, anxiety and dread
for the future on farm than anywhere
else in the world The Bulletin adds:
''The crying need of the times is that
thousands of the unemployed now
crowding every city in the Union go
back to the soil and find there the COM
Portable living which awaits them. The
time will come, and that soon, when it
will be seen that herein lies the only
true solution of the labor problem SO
threatening in all the centers of popula-
ton" There is a great deal of truth in
this, and it only remains, perhaps. to
make farming a pursuit for the educat-
ed, instead of a resort, often, for those
that cannot do anything else, to show
that it is a beautiful and intricate sci
ence instead of a mere employment in
order to make men see that cultivating
acres is much more pleasant than tend
ing loom or carrying pigs Of iron.
