DoUBs, Feb. 22.lS97.
Miss Zero Whittier, aged about 20
years, daughter of Curtis Whittier, a
laborer at this place, attempted to take
her life under very tragic aud peculiar
circumstances last Saturday. The
young lady, who bore good repuia-
ton, had been employed by Mr.. Cyrus
Hargett as housekeeper, and among
her friends and acquaintauces she was
generally popular and well liked. How
ever trivial the inducements which
led up to the deadly attempt were,
Miss Whittier evidently was determin-
ed to make a certainty Of this attempt,
as about three years ago she drank a
quantity of laudamHm with suicidal
intent, but the doctors saved her life.
On this occasion she went about the
affair as one would in making arrange
ments for some social event. Retiring

the funeral, grasped' 8 bi6ie III 8iie
hand and a small revolver in the other,
and after covering herself up with the
bed clothes, fired the shot she intend
ed to release her from this evidently
unhappy world. But fate decreed 9TH
erwise. The bullet penetrated the left
breast, but fortunately not in direc-
ton to insure fatal results, although
she is not out of danger by any means.
A son of Mr.. Hargett found her in a
pitiable condition and DIR. Thomas
Johnson, of Adamstown, was hurried
ly sent for. The bullet could not be
extracted, but the flow of blood was
staunched and the girl made as COM
Portable as possible under the circum-
stances. 1t is said that ever since she
recovered from the last attempt she
made on her life, she has been addicted
to the use of laudanunI, and that it
was the effects of the drug which made
her act so .rashly. The sad affair is
deeply iamented by her family and
friends. 1t is thought at this writing
that she will ultimately recover.

Carlin House on Thursday evening of
last week. The occasion was not in
tended to commemorate anything ex-
cept the alarming increase of the 'sur-
plus" in the treasury, and AS the club
is unreservedly opposed to all sur

manner of shaping things up was to

where all could commingle in social
fellowship, and listen to sweet music
and the passionate "fiow of SOUL" and
incidentally sample some of the good
things that mine host Long knows

his wonderful ability and energy is due
much of the renown and success of the
college in the later years of its exist
ence. The greater part of his life was
spent in laboring for the best interests
of his pupils and many are living to-
day to remember him with gratitude
and the invaluable lessons he taught
them with so much ease and skill. His
pupils were Ibis boys" and he always
spoke of them as such on every Occa-
sion. They in turn respected him for
his many noble traits aud his kindness
OF heart. The personality of the man
was stamped on the school and its
work, and his name will go down to
posterty coupled with every encu-
MUM of praise that succeeding geuer-
atoms generally bestow upon the truly
great. Frederick College possesses a
very valuable meteorological cabinet,
collected from all parts of the word
by Profs. Bonsall and William Baer.
This, combined with the library be-
queathed to the college by the late DIR.
Chas. w. Hoffman, make a very rich
possession, which should be made of
use in the course of studies in succeed
ing years.

lmpregnable Doctrine.

The organs OF monopoly, and espe-
cially the New York Sun, are criticis-
ing with severity two passages in the
opinion of Justice Peckham affirming
the validity and the vitality Of the
Sherman antitrust law. In the first
one, Mr.. Peckham says:
The results of trusts, or combinations
may be different in different kinds Of
corporations, yet they all have an esscu-
tial similarity, and have been induced by
motives of individual or corporate aggran-
diZement as against the public Interest.
In business or trading combinations they
may even temporarily, or perhaps pcrma-
nently, reduce the price of the article
traded in or manufactured by reducing
the expense inseparable from the running
of many different companies for the same
purpose. Trade or commerce under those
circumstances may nevertheless be badly
and unfortunately restrained by driving
out of business the small dealers aul
worthy men whose lives have been spcul
therein, and who might be unable to rc-
adjust themselves to their altered sur
roundlugs. Mere reduction i'm the price
of the commodity dealt in might be dear
~ paid for by the ruin OF such class
and the absorption OF control over on,
commodity by an all-powerful combina
tion OF capital
The same idea is elaborated in an
other place in these words:
In this light IT is not material that tn,
price of an article may be lowered. 1t il
In the power Of the combination t. rails
II, and the result In any event Is unfo@
tunate for the country by depriVing II o
the services Of a large number OF small
but independent dealers who We're famil
far with the business ana who had spen
their lives in 1t. and who supported them
selves and their families from the sndl
profits realized therein. Whether they %
able to fnd other avenues 10 earn thei
livelihood Is not SO material. because IL i
