SUICIDE OF A MINISTER.
A Baltimore Clergyman Shoots Him.
self Through the Heart

Baltimore Md, Feb. S.-The Rev.
George Toland Maccoun. assistant rec
tor at st. Michael and All Angels
Protestant Episcopal Church, commit
ted suicide yesterday by shooting him
self through the heart at the home of
his mother.
The act was done apparently in a
cool and studied manner. He removed
his coat, vest and other clothing. and
then stood before a mirror, opened
his shirt and fired the fatal shot.
1t is said that he had been suffering
greatly from pains in his head, and
had been affected with melancholia.
Mr.. Maccoun was twenty-eight years
old and was the son of the late DR..
r. t. Maccoun. medical director of the
United States Navy, who was retired
in 1879. The mother and sisters of the
young man lived with him at the fam
lily home at No. 25 East Mt Vernon
Place. His brother First Assistant
Engineer William E. Maccoun, on
the United States revenue cutter Nc
Cullough. left Baltimore in January
on the cutters trip around the world
on her way to San Francisco.

THE ENGLISH BIBLE.
The King James Version No Longer
Consider ed Perfect.

Constdet ed Perfect.
The appearance of Professor Haupt's
new translation of the Bible is a strik-
ing testimony to the fact that multi
tudes Of plain persons today are be-
coming more or less familiar with the
questions underlying modern Biblical
criticism. For generations English
speaking Christians accepted the au-
thoriZed version which, properly
speaking, was never authorized except
by usage-as the complete and suffi-
cient statement OF divine revelation.
Indeed, 1T is not too much TO say that
average Christians came to look on II
as the original record of Gods message
to man, and the verbal inspiration of
this seventeenth. century translation
from the ancieft panuscripts OF the
Biblical books vas practically assumed
by both preachers and people. This
disposition to 3ccept the King James
translation as the final authority was
vastly strengthened by the unsurpass-
able beauty, rhythm and majesty of its
English. AS a classic of the language
il stamped itsSlf ineffaceably on the
consciousness OF the race, and men of
leadership in every walk Of life found
in IL the noblest and most convincing
appeals to the heart and the intellect
of the people. Under such circum-
stances ii is not strange that the au-
thoriZed version of the Bible became
the final authority in religion, without
any reference to the fact whether it
truly reflected the meaning Of the orig
inal.
But a different state of affairs eX-
lists today. The work during the last
fifty years of Biblical scholars, critics
and investigators has become known
outside of the small circle of original
Investigators. At first the churches
violently opposed what has come to be
known as the higher criticism Of the
Bible, a somewhat unfortunate and
misleading phrase.
More is known today about the orig
inal manuscripts of the Bible and their
relative value than was known to the
King James translators, and many ot
those who most prize the Bible as the
Word of God have felt that a new
translation of the book by competent
Christian scholars would be helpful TO
them, even if il did not diSplace the
authorized version.
1t was in recognition Of this feeling
that the Revised Version Of 1882 was
made. That version. however. was not
so much an Independent translation as
q revision Of the authorized version,
and, besides, as Professor John De
Witt says. some Of the valuable con-
clusions of the American committee
We're not Incorporated in that version.
1t was finally agreed that these Ameri-
can preferences should be withheld
from publication for fourteen years,
or until July TO- 1899. when, Professor
De Witt says. they will be published as
the American Revised Bible. The ap-
pearance Of this translation will un-
douhtedly be an important event in the
religious world. Practically il will be
the authorized version moderniZed and
corrected where corrections seem de-
sirable

Notes Of tie Day.

This morning the Administration
and Dupuy de LONE organs every
where We're singing a hoarse chorus
10 the effect that there is nothing in
the Spanish situation 10 occasion un-
easiness: and that the note TO which
Sagasta replied vigorously on Satur-
day. and about which Minister
Woodford cabled directly 10 the
President on Saturday night was
nothing in the world but
littl,4 memorandum concerning Cuban
relief expeditions. The New York Her
aldo. while joining in the song, stulu-
fes itself by printing special from
its Madrid correspondent which de-
clares that Gen. Woodford is worried
and despondent. and that evidences Of
a fast approaching crisis are appar-
ent. Some Of the newspapers of the
day. specially known for their devO-
tion TO the cause Of Spain. do not even
refer TO what is admitted a. the State
Department namely, tEat cur minis
ter did deliver a new note to Spain
at the end of the week. and that il was
the third offer Of mediation by this
Government 1T was probably some
Thing more. and something which Sa-
casta chose to consider as an ulti-
natum. whether SO intended or not
the events of the past few weeks con-
stituta one. and if Mr.. Mckinley does
not take Congress into his confidence
today there viii be corresponding pro-
Ceedines. 1t is possible. as Einted in
The Times this morning. that he may
the House of Representa-
tives as far rs he is concerned. which
might or might not accomplish the
purpose. If Mr.. Reed should consent
to allow vote on the Morgan resolu-
tion. or any resolution recognizing bel
ligerency or independence. il would be
because the New England end Of the
bond and sugar deal has thrown up
the sponge. However, If Mr.. Hanna
said the word, every Administration
Republican would turn out and fight
the Speaker. and it would not take a
great many, with the Democrats, to
sweep the hail. But If the President
should remain longer obdurate on this
question there are things in pickle for
him which win smart.

Dtiou-V Vaudeville.

Comedians, singers, dancers. aero
bats and gymnasts make up a strong
bill at the BijOu this week and their
efforts were well received by large au-
diences at both performances yester-
day. That pretty and clever comedi-
enne, Marie Stuart, is one of the star
features. She sings and talks in her
own charming way and her reception
left no doubt as to her popularity
here. Another attraction is Hyberta
Pryme. who sang in a pleasing man
ner. Others who appeared were
Hines and Remington, Coster singers;
Collins and Collins, in songs and
dances; Mile. Dair, in feats on the
trapeze; George Austin, slack Wire
performer; Harry and May Odell. in
comedy sketch; Mcmahon and King,

IF THE THEATRES.
CoIumbia-Anra Held and Company

Columb bia-Aura Held and Company.
There was triple bill last night at
the Columbia, and triple audience
was on hand to match it, The combi-
nation was excellent in every way-as
good for the managers as for the people
present. The first feature on the pro-
gram WAS Chester Bailey .Fernalds
powerful drama of Chinese life,
The Cat and the Cherub." AL
though the audience had evil
IDENTIFY not come quite prepared to
take the play as anything more than a
light relish for what was to follow, the
serious story of the revenge carried out
by wronged man on the murderer of
his son soon had the effect of waking il
TO the realization Of the fact that it was
witnessing one of the most forceful bits
OF dramatic work ever seen in this city.
The cast seen in the play was not ex-
ceptionally good, William Beach, Fred.
Holland and Charlotte Deane being the
only members of the company with
whom considerable fault could not be
found.
Paul Wilstach and Joseph Grismers s
funny farce, "A Gay Deceiver," follow
ed, and was soon recognized as being
no other than His First OffenSe," pre-
sented here last summer by the Co
lumbia Stock Company. A number Of
changes in the plot and situations have
been made since then, generally result
ing in considerable improvement. The
addition of so much matter, together
with the shortening of the play, gave
the action rather hurried air, but this
was soon forgotten in the uproarious
fun the piece affords. AS seen last
night, NJ. A. Kennedy had William Bar
rows old part of Major Gaibyrd,
while w. g. Beach was more than
acceptable as Homer Lovejoy. Liz
zie Evans. though charming. hardly
gave the role of the wife with the ex-
cellence attained by Katherine Grey,
but Marie Valleu made up for any
small deficiency by her careful chaFac-
teriZation of AIthea Leighter The re-
mainder of the company embraced Ed
win Holland, Harry Mills, George Con-
way, Charles Sinclair. Charlotte Deane
and Dolores Lettani, all of whom were
above the average.
Anna Held brought the long bill to a
close. She was, as usual. enthusiastic
cally greeted, and her success really
approached and would be more aptly
described by the word triumph" Her
human music sheet was especially
pleasing and took well.

SERUM CURES CONSUMPTION.
Prof. Maragliano = Method said TO
Have SayeI Another Life.


New York specialists announce that
another case of consumption in that
city has been cured through the aid
of the serum discovered by Prof. Mar
agliano, of Genoa, Italy.
This is the third alleged cure of the
dread disease, and is that of Giuseppe
Faccarella, seventeen years old, of No.
379 Broome street. Young Vaccarella
was employed at the Italian consulate
and when the Italian consul, Gustavo
Tosti, saw that the boys health was
declining last fall he took a deep in
terest in the case.
Giuseppe had been wasting away
for several months. He had a hemor-
rhage of the lungs last May In June
he was attacked by another hemor-
rEage. The boys family is poor, and
the Italian consul, who had studied
medicine himself and was deeply in
terested in the Maraglano serum, de-
termined to take charge of the case.
According to the record of the case,
young Naccarella received his first in
lection in the latter part of November.
There were altogether twenty-five in
jectionS. These were made every 9TH
er day except the last five. which were
ildNe every iHl4u udy. w Etn tie Sc
rum treatment was begun Naccarella
weighed only 104 pounds. He increased
steadily in weight until he tips the
scales at l12 pounds at the present
time.
At the Italian consulate his improved
health was the subject of considera-
bic surprise. While he was under
treatment he was not able to attend
to his duties regularly, but at the
present time he is doing nearly his
quota of work and gaining in strength
daily.
Speaking Of the cure. Mr.. Tosti, the
Italian consul. said:
Il believe that a most important re-
suit has been accomplished in the case
of Naccarella. He had tuberculosis.
| consider that he has been cured by
Prof. Maragliano's serum. | am very
much interested in medical matters.
For two years l was a student of medi-
cine. Consumption is such a dreaded
disease that human interest centers
strongly in all cases in which alleged
cures have been affected. For this rea-
son L unhesitatingly say that 1 regard
the result in young Naccarella's case
as highly important"
Prof Maragliano's serum is equine
and is inoculated with the proteine and
tubercular toxins. The serum is intend
ed To put the organism in such a con-
dition as to fight the tubercular infec-
tion. If the organism Of the patient
is unable to cooperate with the treat
ment. the serum. il is declared will
be of no avail. and will become useless
though harmless.

startling as to become a matter not
only of local but of national interest.
The prisoners. up TO yesterday, took the
whole matter pleasantly and rathef
seemed to enjoy their temporary prom
inence than Otherwise. But at the Ia
test session of the court witnesses tes-
titled TO certain facts that drew down
the faces of the men in the box, and
caused chill Of terror among their rel
a;ives and friends present. one credi-
BILE witness swore that on the day after
the shooting a deputy told him that he
had shot nine and killed five. Anoth-
er an eyewitness, testified that he saw
several deputies step from the Inc ana
take deliberate aim at the fleeing min
ers. killing several by shots through
their backs. Still another deposed to
hearing deputies declare in advance
that they were going out TO Kill the
Hungarian miners. SO far all the EVIL
dence goes to show that not single one
OF the marching strikers was armed. 1t
was a causeless and brutal massacre.
Yet il is not i'm the least probable that
serious punishment, if any ut all. viii
be meted out TO the homicides. Iher
confidence. that they have the 'ich coal
corporations behind them, to shlelo
them from all harm, and q friendly jury,
may not be misplaced Certainly there
is no suggestion that the court is pref
udiced against them. Two Of the coun-
sci who had a disgraceful alteration
in front of the bench the other day were
mildly admonished yesterday, but the
Judge was angrily severe upon DaNeh-
port. the cartoonist who had published
a picture representing Sheriff Martin
standing with one foot on .he body OF a
miner and holding a smoking pistol in
his hand. The cartoon was labeled:
The Modern Exponent of American
Liberty" However the trial may re-
suit. the facts back of it will have un-
pleasant political consequences for the
Republican party in Pennsylvania l:eAt
November.

,oode,nv-..s Sowing the wind"


Sowing the Wind" Is the attraction
at the Academy of Music this week
and is deserving of more than the US
ual run of support if true merit is any
criterion. The company interpreting
the famous comedy is far above the
average and the management is GER
tainly fortunate in securing the attrac-
ton at popular prices. The old con-
test of sex against sex is well set forth
by the powerful company. The part
of RosamOnd is taken by Miss HALO
way. she being especially strong in
the pathetic scene at the close of the
third act. A fitting opposite is seen
in the person of Dunkan Preston. un-
til recently leading man for Bertha
Creighton. Mr. Sears makes an excel
lent BrabaZon. the strong lines of the
third act being notably well read. 9th
ers deserving of mention are Jennie

ner. as Mr.. Watkin. Mr.. Cornell and

show. devoid of suggestiveness of any
kind. The company has ample OppOr-
tunity to show it's talents in "Ameri-
