JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW.
Strange Act of a Guest at a Party
No Reason assigned.

Casts Guslach, twenty-nine years old,
of No. 16 North Tenth street, Brooklyn,
E, D., is lying in the City Hospital SUI
fering from internal injuries and scalp
wounds sustained Saturday night by
jumping out of the second story window,
of No. 127 Provost street. Guslach attend
ed a party at the home of George Miller.
The guests were having a jolly time when
Guslach rushed from a rear window into
the parlor. This action so surprised the
merry makers that when he raised the
front window and climbed out, no one
made the slightest effort to stop him.
He sprang into the street twenty feet be-
low.
When the astonished guests looked out
he lay on the sidewalk as though dead.
Friends went to his assistance and carried
him into the house. Blood flowed freely
from numerous cuts in his head and he
complained of internal pains. An ambu-
lance was sent for and he was removed
to the City Hospital.
Guslach will give no reason for his
strange act. His friends think he con-
templated suicide.

MR.. PETTY's SUGGESTION.

a very interesting meeting of the Con-
rad Fishing III took place last Saturday
evening. at the rooms on Ocean avenue
and Jackson place. GreenvilIe. 1t was
the last meeting of the club for the sea-
son. which has been very successful. The
treasurer in figuring up his accounts
found that there was a balance of $2o.
Then there were a hundred and one sug
g~estions from the different members as to
what should be done with the surplus.
One suggested that they spend II right
off then and nave a good time, another
said divide it anon the members. Ihen
Henry Petty, who is always eager to oHef
suggestions, said
"What's the matter with US taking
another fishing trip"
Immediately everyone in the room
shouted for Petty. Some slapped him on
the back ond told him what a good fellow
he was, and. thai if he was as successful
in settling the difference between the
..Minks'' n the Leaguers as ne was IN
disposing OF the surplus in the CLUBS
treasury he would indeed be a great
diplomatist.
1t will be remembered that Petty Is the
vice president of the league Cup. rms
coming Wednesday was the day fixed FOR
the trip to the fishing banks and a good
time is expected by all.

If Charles A. Dana had been gifted
a great man. AS he was. his vast gifts
of intellect were swayed alternately by
his uncontrolled passions and his sense
of expediency. Hence it came about
that the paper which he controlled oscil-
lated between extremes of good and evil,
but at its best was never animated by
high principles. strong common sense be-
ing the best controlling power that ever
swayed its ~utterances.
Personally Mr.. Dana was a picturesque
but hardly a respectable figure. Journal
istically he was facile princeps among
mental gifts and in the culture OF his
profession. Notwithstanding this. his ca
reer was a failure. He failed to give
any tone to the journalism OF his day.
He dies leaving no mark, saving upon
the columns of his own paper. He failed
to excite the emulation of his contem-
poraries even fer what was good in him.
and he failed to win the confidence OF
the public. who always looked 20 him
for amusement but seldom for guidance.
1t is sad to think of what the future
of the sun" is likely to be. deprived of
its presiding genius. 1t is true that for
years Observation-Disclosures of the work has
been done by other heads and hands.
But there was only one soul in the paper.
It was the heated. restless. luminous.
direful spirit of the man who is now
dead. Him taken away. the product of
the instruments through whom he work.

IMPALED ON AN IRON FENCE.

James Steinhoff, nine years old. of No.
SIS Du Bots street, West Hoboken, was
the victim of a ~frightful accident yester-
day while playing with several other
children at his home. He climbed up on
on extension, which was being construct
ed at the rear of his fathers house. Just
as he reached the roof he missed his
footing and fell back, landing on a. sharp
picket fence, eight feet below. One of
the pickets entered his back between the
shoulders and almost penetrated his body.
He was lifted from the fence by his
parents and carried into his home. The
wound was six inches long and four
inches deep. DR. Schlemm sewed it with
eleven stitches. Steinhoff's injuries will
probably result fatally.

THE latest features of the w. c. 7, o.
crusade have caused establishment even
in their W ranks. The discovery that
the purchase of candy by children on
Sundays and the smoking OF the peace
pipe by the college boys at Princeton on
class day are shocking evils has stag
gered even those who are generally ready
to dictate their neighbors' morals, The
trouble about these ladies is that they
lack sense of humor.
