The Baron's Very Bad Taste.


The Austrian baron who has Just killed
himself for love Of an American widow
would receive our applause for indicating
our contention that man s love is mans
whole existence were II not for his COM
promising act before he fired the fatal
shot. 1t seems that the baron called at
the lovely widows house after midnight
to demand an explanation for a fancied
slight. Our best families are not receiv-
ing gentlemen in the privacy OF their
apartments after IL p. NJ, and the lovely
widow very properly and circumspectly
declined to abrogate the social law. In.
stead OF admiring and loving the widow
the more for her propriety and considera-
ton, the hot-headed baron ''shot himself
outside the door," thereby making scene
and mussing up the corridor. The more
we contemplate these acts Of thoughtless-
ness and rashness, which are becoming
very common, the more we are convinced
that there Is a concerted effort TO worry
and annoy women. If the baron had
quietly withdrawn to his own apartments
AMI there despoiled himself of life the
world would not have been the loser and
everything would have been regular and
orderly. But to kill himself before the
lady's door. thereby suhjecting her TO a
violent fright and lot OF unnecessary
emotions. was most ungentlemanly ard
objectionable. We naturally expect that
a great many gentlemen viii kill them
selves this year through the overmaster-
ing passion OF love, and the most we can
do Is 10 request them to retire from the
iedy's presence and make their auietus In
a decorous and transformations manner.

I have not the honor OF a personal ac-

by some crank or some person or emissary
