With Fortunes Favoring Smile Came aR
 Offer of Marriage.
 Rosa Bonheur gives an interesting account of her first success as an artist in her article, "The Story of My Life, " in The Ladies Home Journal. '.To bet ter study nature, so as 10 impregnate myself with it, she says, "I passed whole days at the slaughter house of the Roule ill Paris One must be truly de- voted to one's art to live in the midst of such horrors and in such coarse com pany. The men were surprised to see a young woman interested ill such things and were disposed to make 1t disA- greeable for me. But providence never abandons those who strive to do well, and came to my aid in the person of good old M. Emile, a Hercules in force and physique, who declared that he would take it upon himself to admins ter a good lesson to the first one wno behaved rudely toward me. From that time 1 worked without further annoy anee. The position that my protector occupied was that of scalder and dresser of calves heads. Seeing how frugalls breakfasted, he often invited me home with him, and there, surrounded by the curious implements that served him n his profession, his wife, as good and honest as himself, made me partake of many comforting meal.
 At last fortune smiled on me. M Tedeseo, the picture dealer, bought one of my canvases. The secretary of fae arts commissioned me to copy q picture "a Flight Into Egypt, l forget by whom-and I painted another pictule, The Shepherd and His Flock Seeking Refuge From the Storm, which l sod well, and, lastly, to crown all these h; l- py successes.

McCULL-AGH E DEAD. BODY OF THE BRILLIANT GLOBE DEMOCRAT EDITOR FOUND
 DEAD UNDER HIS
 WINDOW. HE COMMITTED SUICIDE. Almost Definitely Known That He Deliberately Threw Him
 self From the
 Window.
HE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

ST. Louis, Dec. 31-The dead body of Mir. Joseph E. McGullagh, chief ed- itor for many years past of the G1obe-Democrat, was found at 6:30 this morning lying on the stone pavement beneath window of his room in the residence of his sister-in- law, Mrs. Kate Manion, at 3S37 West Pine Boulevard.
 It is asserted by his physician that he flung himself from the window with suicidal intent, but this is not believed by many of his friends, who think he was seized during the night by one of his attacks of asthma, with which he was afflicted, and in his struggle for breath he threw up the window for fresh air, lost his balance and fell out.
 It is now known that Mr. McCul- lagh actually did commit suicide About midnight his room was found to be nearly full of gas, and burner wide open. This was supposed to have been an accident, and with q caution to him to be more careful he was left for the night In the morn- ing, after the discovery of his body, his room was again found to be filled with gas and u burner Eopen. It is therefore evident that after being left alone in the night he turned the gas on again, but finding death was too slow by this means he deliberate ly opened a window and plunged head-long to the pavement below.

Inc. udlng the Qealh or the Iate Joseph B. MeCullagh, editor of the Gfo6e Den,ocrat, fourteen persons in St. Louis wound up their earthly ca reers and sought surcease from sor- row by suicide on the last day of the old year.
 The prevalence of suicide and the motives thereof are leading to con- siderable psychological speculation, especially in the case of tbe late Jos. E. McGuIiagh. who stood at the tep of his profession, possessed the esteem and admiration of men, and was fairly well fixed, so far as this worlds goods are concerned. On this point the St. Louis Re public says:
 "Itis easy to discover the reason for the suicidal impulse on the part of Mir. McCullagh When man has narrowed the scope of his inter- ests ia life to all absorbing pas sion for his special work and finds himself debarred from further ac- tivity and opportunity; it is natural that life should lose all value for him. This is reversal of the con- dition which he himself urged as a deterrent of the suicidal impulse when he wrote. sThe plea of dispair is not a valid one where the oppor- tunity of further effects are pro- vided.a In his case the validity of the plea was sustained by the cir cumstanees.
 'tOf the others who sought sur crease of sorrow in death, one was prompted by humiliation of busi- ness failure, two others by the fear of the consequence of wrong-doing, two by the disappointment in love and fear by dissipation. No causes are assigned in the reports in the remaining suicides, but it may be surmised from the record of causes presented that disappointment in some absorbing passion or purpose supplied the motives of the tragedy.
 s'It would take more exhaustive statement and examination of the facts than is possible in news re- ports and editorial comment to reach scientific conclusion with regard to the causes of suicide and the philosophic deduction to be drawn therefrom. But in the main this epidemic of self-destruction among all classes and conditions of men illustrates the point recently made by the Republic that hope and absorption in objects beyond the control of tfe will are conductive to suicide.
 1t is singular that two systems so far apart in some respects as the Christian religion and the pessi- mistic philosophy should agree upon one thing as the essential antidote to despair the erucifxion of desire. The Scriptures teem with injunc- tions to put neither desire nor trust in the things of this world that lie beyond the soul, and the essence of enlightened pessimism is indiffer- ence to outward and mutable cir cumstances aud concentration of in I terest on the inner life.
 Whether one chooses pessimism or Christianity as his sheet anchor, it i5 wise to beware the absorbing passion and the unbounded hope. Curb desire and broaden life is the message Of the des pairing dead, to the living.

OUR TRADE ENEMIES.
Germans Stealing American Ideas
and Barring Out Our Products

WASHINGTON, May 3.-United States
Consul Monaghan, of Chemnitz in a report
to the State Department, says that Ger
many just now is very much excited about
the proposed new tariff act for the United
States. Her hopes to extend and increase
her exports have been built on other rates
than those reported. Reciprocity is re-
garded as the only way in which to keep
commerce within safe and sure lines.
Hopes are expressed that commercial trea-
ties may be made between the United
States and Germany, but the consul feels
that there is little market there for Amer
lean manufactured products, and believes
the effort in Russia, South America and
the East that would be necessary in Ger
many, the returns would be five times as
great. Even natural products Germany
would not buy from the United States could
she get them as cheap and good elsewhere
says the consul, who produces an array of
figures to show how our grain trade has
been turned by Germany almost altogether
over TO Russia. In conclusion he earnestly
enjOins American manufacturers to patent
their machines and processes in Germany
where our machines are now bought, taken
apart and successfully initiated. Annual
visits are made by German manufacturers
to the United States to pick up American
ideas one man, the consul says, has

fantry, under Colonel Regli advanced to
low plateau on the left, where two batteries
were in position. General Smolenski had or
dered the shelling to begin when the enemy
were well within range; consequently the
guns did not open fire before $50 p. m. The
Turks were evidently about 140O0 strong
Their cavalry reconnoitered the wood where
the Greeks were concealed, but the bat
teries remained silent until o'clock, and
at that time the fire fell short of being
effective, though the Greek practice was
the best l have yet noticed. The Turks ran
away from the shells, but continued to adj
vance in good order. Our right was really
never engaged, and the railway station was
defended by only small force, with two
Krupp guns. Toward the end the large

What Count Won Kanitz Would Do
Won Bieberstein,s RenIv

BERLIN, May Sin the Reichstag to-
day Count Won Kanitz, the Agrarian lead
er, interpellated the government on the SUBJ
ject of the proposed new United States
tariff. He asked if the government wished
to continue the agreement of 1891 and said
the Dingley bill implied less of an increase
of American customs revenue than the ex-
pulsion of European imports from Ameri-
can markets. Continuing, Count Won
Kanitz remarked: THE industry most
prejudiced is the German sugar trade We
should not exaggerate the consequences to
ourselves of abrogating the most favored
nation treatment, but we could give a pref
erence to Russian against American petro-
leum, place obstacles in the way of i'm
