Denver. July 2-President E. Monash of
the chamber of commerce, offers the fol-
lowing correspondence:
New York, June 26, 1897.
President Chamber of Commerce, Denver,
Col:
Will you please telegraph the New York
Herald at our expense your views on the
business situation for use Monday morn>
ing. Is any recovery in general trade ap>
parent. Are surplus funds being invest
ed? Is the upward movement of stocks
based upon sound industrial conditions :?
What in your opinion is causing the long
delay in revival of business?
JAMES GORDON BENNETT.
Denver, June 2, 1897.
New York Herald, New York City:
The business situation in Colorado looks
brighter in consequence of the increased
gold output and the best crop of cereals
and fruit the state ever had. Capital is
being invested in gold properties. The
long delay in revival of business is
caused by the mistaken financial policy
of the government in establishing mono
meta1lisn& which contracts the money me-
dunn and bears down farm products. The
farmer produces the wealth of the coun-
try and as long as he suffers, the balance
of our people cannot prosper.

a CARNIVAL OF SUICIDE

Lawrence 1rwell in July I4ippincott's)
During the centuries Immediately pre-
ceding and those following the opening OF
the Christian era, voluntary death was at
it's worst in Europe. Broadly speaking
the teaching of all the philosophers ora
tors and poets of the time was that sui
eide was not only justifable but was a
noble and courageous act. Among the
propagators of this doctrine may be men
toned Plato. Cicero. Seneca, Epictetus,
Cleanthes and Marcus Aurelius; and it
can be truthfully asserted that many of
the greatest men of pagan Europe died
by their own hands. In this way Aris-
totle, Demosthenes, Zeno, Cato, Brutus,
Hannibal. Mark Antony and many others
met their death.
This popularity of suicide must have
been due. to a certain extent, to the
teaching of the learned men of the time
which has, as rule, a powerful inf1u-
ence upon the educated classes. And, as
the actions of great men are usually fol-
lowed by numbers of inferior men who
wish to rank with those they ape. the
frequency of suicide among the hot
polloi must be in part attributed to the
example of the philosophers. Neverthe-
less, it would not be correct to class even
a majority of the suicides of this period
among the Greeks and Romans as the re-
suit of any teaching, although many were
undoubtedly due to this cause. 1t is GER
tain that the bulk of the voluntary deaths
occurring as they did among remarkably
degenerate people, who were deteriorat-
ing with every generation, were like the
suicides of today, due to insanity (using
the word in its widest sense), disgust of
life, and that uncomfortable desire to die
which is marked a sign of decay, and
which no alienist has yet fully explained.

had been instantly killed by a bullet
that penetrated both lungs and the
heart. The shooting had been erratic,
one bullet struck the house, another the
fence in front, a third being found in the
street. This was taken to indicate Il

During the coroner's inquest it devel-
cped that a man who ran from across
the street ut the sound Of the shooting

corroborated by a boy. Several wit
uesses testified to seeing a man in the
alley, and one to meeting Il man run
ming from the scene. He identified the
man as Seldom, who swore he was asleep
in the house at the time Of the shoot
ing. A clerk in Il gun store swore that
Mrs. Hamilton had purchased a dozen
cartridges from him the afternoon be-
fore the shooting.

Boughaza pass and Sidero Poluki. After
severe fighting the Greeks drove the
Turks back across the frontier with the
