Ending n suicide Epidemic.

Medical men are uniting in the opinr
ion that suicide may easily become epi-
demic, especially at times of excite
ment or when weather conditions are
depressing. Plaques of suicide such as
Moreau described after the French
revolution, are rare, Of course, but
when one or two cases of self-destruc-
tion are recorded in a community 1t
often is the case that a number Of
others follow. This is especially true
in continental Europe. In ancient
times one Of the Greek cities, Miletus,
was the scene Of an epidemic Of sui
eide among young women, until the
magistrate proclaimed that the body
Of the next victim would be expuscd
nude in the marletplace. This harsh
decree, so contrary TO the instincts
of our modern civilization, promptly
put an end to the appalling craze.

GENEROSITY AMONG SOLDIERS
There Seems to Exist a sort OF Rivalry
10 See Who Can DO the
Most Good.

The sight OF war cured the writer of
one notion-that the military profes-
sion may tend to make those who fol-
how itbrutal and cruel, says the Boston
Transcript. On the contrary, It seems
to make them more generous and
kind. IL is not TO be supposed that II
is war that makes them so; Il is prob
able that the removal Of the profess
sional soldier from the field Of com
petition for existence among inde-
pendent workers and business men"
leaves him little chance TO fall into
that hungry and fox-like instructive
hostility TO ones fellows that is de-
veloped by the social struggle Off ex-
istence. All soldiers, whether officers
or privates, seem TO be engaged, on
the other hand, in a kind Of competi-
tion OF generosity. II is a great point
with them-a kind OF inyariable rule
Of conduct--to be ready 20 share what
they have with others. This rule Of
generosity does not, Of course, save
them from doing cruel things oeca-
sionally. They have not ordinarily a
very delicate sensiblity TO one am
others pain. They do not seem to
waste much pity on one another's
physical sufrerings They bear their
own without complaint, and sell
dom ask favors when they are suffer
ing. But when II comes TO grub or
shelter they viii give n comrade. or
even a stranger, better than they have
themselves, il they possibly can. And
the work of an pficer even in the most
active and terrible campaigning,
seems to be easily consistent with the
finest manliness and most delicate
sympathy Aud yet we should not
encourage war in the expectation Of
cultivating fine sentiments any more
than we should invite yellow fever epi-
denies simply because a yellow fever
epidemic develops fine cases Of heroic
sef-sacrifce.

CHARGED With 4 HEINOUS CRIME
A DEIlAWlAHlE CITY WOMAN TELLS
A STORY OF TERRIBLE TREAT

A DElAWlAlItE CITY WOMAN TELLS
A STORY OF TERRIBLE TREAT
MENT.
Philadelphia, Nov. enlarged with
heinous crime, George Bruce, OF
Tenth and Mllhin streets, was COM
mitted without bail yesterday morning
by Magistrate Smith. The circum-
stances leading up to his arrest tell a
story OF defenseless woman seized on
the river front in the darkness OF
night, carried forcibly aboard a river
boat and then assaulted. The victim
was Mrs. Sadie L. Horner, Of Delaware
City, the wife OF Henry J.. Horner, who
is employed on one of the tugboats.
and it was while on the way to visit
her husband that she was attacked.
She told the magistrate yesterday
that about o'clock Monday night che
was standing at pier 2S, South
Wharves. awaiting the incoming of the
tug on which her husband works. Sud-
denly she was seized by the throat,
and, although she fought her assail-
ant, she was forced to a pile-driver at
the end Of the pier. Here her arms
were bound and she was brutally as
sauted. With "a warning that he would
throw her in the river if she raised an
outcry, her assailant released her. She
at once went TO her husbands board
ing place. at No. 23O Wharton street,
land told him of what had happened.
He started back with his wife. and on
their way they met two policemen.
When the party reached the pile-driver
Bruce appeared from below and was
at once identified by Mrs. Horner ana
arrested.
The prisoner stated that Mns Hor-
ner came aboard the pile-driver Of her
own accord to escape the chilling winds
while waiting the arrival Of her hus-
bands boat He said she complained
of being hungry and that he gave ner
some OF his food. Bruce denied the as
sau.t and further stated that he had
accompanied Mrs. Horner to the end OF
the wharf when she left the pile
driver.

THE LEXELI-BROOSS COMET.
In the year 1870 the famous astrono-
mer Lexell computed the orbit of a
comet that bears his name and which
had appeared that year. il attracted
particular attention on account of it's
brightness and it's close approach 20
the earth. Lexell, from calculations he
had made. predicted for it a period Of
only five and one-half years, but it was
never seen again. It's non-reappear-
ance in 1776. however, could be ac-
counted for by the supposition that its
orbit at that time did not bring Il sur
flciently near the earth, but this suppo-
sition could no longer hold good as to
it's temperance in 1871, so that the
whole affair was wrapped up in mys-
terry until the great French astrono-
mer and mathematician, Lap.ace,
showed that in 1879 the comet must
have approached the great planet Jupi-
ter so closely as to be diverted by the
great attraction of the latter into a
new orbit, too distant TO be seen from
the earth. According to some investi-
cations made by the famous discoverer
Of the planet Neptune. Leverrier, the
mysterious planet would probably come
back about the year 1889 Now in that
year Professor Brooke, of Geneva. N.
Y, discovered a comet that was called
after him. Professor Chandler. Of
Harvard University, has shown that the
mysterious comet of Lexell is In all
probability the same as Brooke's OF
1889 by supposing that the planet
Jupiter first transformed its orbit from
parabolic orbit that is from one
that does not return into Itself, into an
elliptical one, with a period of FIVE
and one-haf years, then removed it
from our sphere of observation, and
again, after more than a century. has
brought it back to us. Some days ago
Harvard College has been notified that
calculations OF the orbit of Brooke's
comet, made by Professor Hussey, Of
Lick Observatory, show that the
stranger will be nearest the sun on No
vember %. It will continue to in
crease in brightnes for some time.

In his quarterly report on the health
OF the borough of Chorley, Lancashire,
DR.. j. A. Harris, the medical officer
for the district, calls attention TO the
indiscriminate sale and purchase of
the various so-called headache pow

seven samples from the different shops
In the town and had them submitted

tiiy of the active ingredient was found
TO be In excess OF the maximum dose
of tho drug allowed in the British phar-

to the class of analgesics, the mem

mated that the intensity Of the sun
light at the earth is equal to that OF
61S,000 full moons. At Neptune the
sunlight would amount to 6S7 full
moons; so that, contrary to some err
.roneous statements we sometimes meet
with, even in textbooks on astronomy,
there would be enough light for all
visual purposes. Taking, however, the

was continued early this morn

American fleet discharged
1000 projetiles at the fortif-

molished them. Later a land
ing of U. S. troops was made
at a small town east of Santi-
ago after a sharp battle with
Spanish troops sent to oppose
the landing. Five Spanish
officers were killed including a
colonel. Many of the infantry
and sailors were killed and
