LEFT THE COMMANDMENTS
A Thief Gets Away With Bible, Tearing Oni
the DecaIogue

A. peculiar case Of theft was reported
to the police yesterday morning by J. G.
Bright, who conducts lodging house
at 53S1a South Spring street. A few
nights ago he rented room to young
man whom he had never seen before.
In the room to which the lodger was
conducted was a large family Bible,
valued as a keepsake. The next morning
the book turned up missing. as did the
lodger, who, however, had considerably
torn out the leaf containing the ten
commandments and left it lying on the
table for future reference. The Bible
has not since been seen, and was, per-
haps, kept for reference by the thief,
his purpose in tearing out the leaf being
that he might not be reminded Of the
breach of law he had committed. The
police are looking for him and the mu-
tilated book.

SUICIDES snuN 1T.
D'e''.,.E Popularity of rr...,o Acid ..

OsciininE Popularity Of Pr1ssIe Acid -
an Agency of Self Dsstr~ctio..
From New York Sun: Twenty years
ago the most familiar method of sui
eide was poisoning by prussic acid.
Last year there were 384 suicides in
this city, 2S5 men and SO women, and
OF this number. ~ far as the ofiicIal
records of the board Of health go. not
one used prps.ic acid. All the other
poisons which are known to the science
OF medicine and can be easily procured
were represented in the list-arsenic,
muriatic acid. carbolic acid. cyanide OF
potassium, hydrate of chloral, bichlor-
ide of mercury. paris green. the favor
lite with female suicides; carbon mon
oxide. hydrocyanic acid, lime chloride,
strychnine, morphine. nitric acid.
opium. oxalic acid, and rough on rata,
out no prussic acid by separate CLASH
hcation. The term prussic acid was
nrst applied. chemists say. to the ses-
quicyanide Of iron, the acid of Prussian
blue. 1t was subsequently applied to
the protocyanide of iron, to the cyan
ohydric of iron. to the hydroguret of
monds and of the laurel cherry, and to
cyanogen, and it may be possible that
persons suicidically inclined and who
accepted ''prussic acid as clear and
sure cut to oblivion from all mundane
cares and griefs became perplexed at
the definition of some of the chemicals
and turned their attention to other
acids, the scientific status of which is
more clearly defined. And to this reas-
on, perhaps, may be ascribed the grow
ing indifference to prussic acid which
Is shown by suicides generally at least
in the city of New York, for in Europe,
as far as recent official figures go, prus-
sic acid retains its former popularity.
so to speak, as a means of self-destruc-
tion by suicides. The figures of the
New York board of health show that
one Of the suicides of 1896 adopted
method Of destruction which would
scarcely entitle his case to the isolation
which the board of health gives it-one
suicide by the use of alcohol. One pc
culiar circumstance about suicides OBJ
servable In the last annual report
which the board OF health, as such, in
the present city of New York will make,
is the fact that though the number of
male foreigners who committed sui
eide during the year is three times
greater than the number of native born
male suicides, there was very little diff
ference between the native born and
foreign born female suicides. OF eigh-
ty-nine in all, forty were natives OF this
country and forty-nine were foreign
born. The number OF male suicides is
usually about three times greater than
the number Of female suicides. but be-
tween the years of 16 and 26 the num-
Der of male and female suicides is sub
stantially the same; after that the num-
Der Of male suicides is, OF course, much
greater. Between the ages of As and 65
last year, of 122 suicides. los were men,

the FUTURE in THE PRESENT

To predict the future Is not altogeth-
er an occult science. 1t sometimes re-
Quires no more than a careful look at
the present. and fair exercise of the
reasoning faculties, to decide accurate
ly what will take place In the future.
When King Gustavus Adolphus saw
a Swedish boy fall out of a window,
and heard him utter no cry of pain,
though he was seriously hurt, he ad-
miringly and thoughtfully remarked:
THAT boy will make man for an en-
ergency." The prophecy was fulfilled.
The boy became the famous General
Baner.
Scarcely less clearly did the action of
John Davy, the composer of the famous
song, The Bay of Biscay," indicate in
childhood what was to be expected of
him in the future. He lived In the
days when genius was not fostered, and
his love Of music found no ordinary
means Of gratifying itself. But a mu-
steal instrument the boy must have,
and though he was but six years of age
he constructed one. 1t was merely
collection of horseshoes. The boy OBJ
tanned twenty or thirty horseshoes, and
from these selected such as would form
a complete scale. and having suspend
ed them in an upper room. gratified
himself by initiating upon them the
chimes Of the neighboring church.
By the use of this primitive musical
instrument, and later on by other
means. he obtained knowledge of mu-
sic which thirty years after enabled
him to produce works that made him
known to the world. 1t would have
taken scarcely more than ordinary per-
ceptions to tell what was to be expected
in the future of certain German boy
who sat one day reading blood and
thunder" novel. He was enjoying the
excitement of the book. But In the
midst Of 1t he said to himself: Nov
this will never do. 1 get too much ex-
cited over such books As these can't
study so we'll after. So here goes!'
With that he flung the book into the
river. Men knew the lad later ON a.
Fichte, the great German philosopher.
