SCiCIp 6 AND CIVILIZATION
The More Progress the More There I,
 of Sef-Destruction.

Felix Adler, the New York ethical clergyman, says of suicides: Suicides Ere on the increase in the present een- tury. They have tripled in number in the last ore hundred years. It is the disease of civilization, increasing ir aum bers with the progress Of civiliza. tion. Germany, where civilization has 'eached the highest point on earth. is the biackest spot in this respect. l. Is the same story as you proceed from .he less to the more liberal creed
 lf oece the population Of a communit- is made up purely of the Russian church there are 40 suicides to the mil. Eon; where the people are purely of he Catholic faith there are 5S to the million, in Protestant communities shere are f90 to tue million. External oJnditions appear to have much to do V:sh the act The-e are more suicides .a wet weather than in dry, more by oight than by day. more on moonlight nights than on dark nights, and there are three times more men to die by their own acts than women. I car- not sit in judgment on those who have done this deed; I cannot enter into their inner life. But warn all who think of freeing themselves from this life that they have no right 10 do it. 2he duty of progress compels us to remain-we must stay We arc here to solve the problems of life, not to eyads them We are here to fulfill our task. not to leave it unfinished We must make tie soul victorious over the senses, aud we do that not by evading pair lat by conqaering it.

English Women Play Solitaire.

Ladies oi the royal court of England rrsm the queen down, are playing the old-tine game of patience, known as solitaire in this country. Every spare minute is taken up with one or .he other of the hundred varieties of the game. Patience" boards enabling one 10 play the game on the knees, are covered with colorsd satin, embroidered with various suits of the cards. Pock- cts are arranged for tile pack, and a book of directions accompanies each board. The beard enables the player 70 stop game it any point and return 70 il later without losing her place But it is doubtful if the fad will take 'n this country. It requires a vivid Imagination to conjure up such Q spectacle g roomfHl of American women playing solitaire.

Tho Highest Tower.

The highest tower 4n the world is presently to be built as one of the great attractions Of Buffalo during the Pan- American exposition, which is to be held in that city in 1901. It is to be i,152 feet high, anG 400 feet square at the base, and will be a much more or namentai building than the Eiffel tower. It will be served by no fewer than 33 electric elevators, sixteen Of which will run only to the first tanding, 225 feet above the level of the ground. The whole journey from the bottom to the top will nWessitate four changes ot elevators, and will take about six minutes, while the elevators will have carrying capacity of 10000 an hour, The estimated cost of this lower, which will be built of steel. is aS00, ,000, or about twice as much as that ct the Eifrel tower.

His name was Meeson. he was aged, and his generally destitute air and wretche cd surroundings gave his aeighborn the impression that he had not a penny in the world Out of pure charity they accordingly for many years provided hilt with food and clothing.

AN ANTARCTIC OASlA
\ Queer Discovery Made During the
 Recent Expedition

Recent Expedition
 Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described in the Century for January by MT. Fred erick A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- cle Is very fully illustrated. An oasis in a snowy wilderness" is the phrase he employs in characterizing a certain bit of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown region before us while enshrouded in mist, we drew near prominent moun- tain peak to make de5arkment. The cliff was perpendicular cliff, frso of snow to the seashore. It was one of lumber attending far into the south east, as we learned on the following day. We made a debarkment at it's base. Here was life in profusion, as life could gain footing The noise from the birds, which re-echoed from cliff to cliff, was deafening The lower rocks were lined with snoring and grunting sea-leopards. Columns of yapor rose above the water, followed 5y hiss like that of steam engine. and q seconG later the blue back of whale, with it's long fin and ponderous tail, dashed the water into a foamy whirlpool. The great wall of land-ics rose to each side of the black cliff, which gave us a shelf as landing place. From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of cannon, which were followed by splash and commotion in the water With such ports parts of the wall would con. 5tantly break away and tal! into mil- ton pieces, strewing the water with ,L.all fragments of ice, but not with tceber9s Above us rose a cliff to an altitude of about 1000 feet out from his were projecting mantel-like rocks, which served as resting places for the tormorants and sea-gulls. Here the young ones, dressed in gray down, coaxed their mothers for food. We ex- pected to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below but such an accident rarely hap pened Our greatest surprise here was .he discovery of large quantities of moss and lichens, which gave the spot an unexpected appearance of vegeta. ole life and color After seeing noth- ing but ice and black rocks for so many days, this sight of green and brown and red amid an endless expanse of Icy desert was a great relief.

"of how much better it would be il people would affix stamps neatly and in an upright position upon their let. ters, instead of in the helter-skeltei manner which is generally prevalent? Besides, is it treating in fitting manner t4-e memory of those great ones in the history of the republic whose features are held in living memory by means Of the post? The father of his country Nas not come down to US historically As one likely to enter the presence ot lady on his nose, or, even when car. rylng you a notification that your bank account is oyerdrawn, to do so while skating along un his left eyebrow.

Would the conqueror ol Appo. tnattox, after his wonderful trip around the world, rest easy if he knew he Uas. repeating that triumphal progress every day and entering the uttermos. corners Of tie earth on his ear, his eye, or flat on his back?

Formally Opened by Bishop Coleman Yes

Bishop Coleman was at Townsend
Sunday afternoon and formally opened
the new st. Mary's Chapel, which has
Just been completed. The conservation
services will be conducted at 1870
O'Clock on Thursday morning, June
Both. The Rev. w. j. Wilkie, rector
of st. Anne's Church, Middletown, as
sisted Bishop Coleman at the services
Sunday. Rector Wilkie has been
mainly instrumental in securing the
new chapel. For several years he has
been travelling to and from Townsend
and conducting services at the latter
place and the people felt that chapel
at Townsend was warranted.
The congregation in attendance more
than filled the new edifiee and at least
a hundred we're unable to get into the
building. The people were residents
of Townsend, Middletown and the sur
rounding country. The sermon was
preached by the bishop and was taken
from the CXXV Psalm and LIST verse.
He spoke of the influence OF the church
in the community and upon individuals
and was listened to attentively. The
design of the building was by William
d. Brinkley of this city.

SERIOUS SHOOTING ARRAY.
Edwin p. Williamson Shot by His Nephew
Nathaniel Watkins. Nle

Edwin P. Williamson Shot by His Nephew,
Nathaniel Watkins.
Cbadd's Ford, Pa, May 20. IAN egg
sucking dog was the cause of serious
shooting atfray which occurred here
Saturday evening, and which may re-
suit in the loss of a leg and perhaps the
life of Edwin 2. Williamson, a farmer
of Birmingham township. His nephew
Nathaniel Watkins, about "a years Of
age, who did the shooting, is in Media
Jail. held without bail for court, to
await the result of his uncle's injuries.
The dog which caused the trouble
belonged to Watkins, and Williamson
accused it of entering his chicken
house and sucking eggs On this
account bad blood has existed between
the men for some time.
Saturday evening, Watkins saw his
uncle with gun, going in the direc-
tion of his chicken house, and believing
he was after the animal, seized his gun
and started in the same direction,
his dog he would kill his uncle.
The animal soon came from the
hennery, with Williamson In pursuit.
Watkins ran toward him, crying;
Don't you shoot that dog, or will
shoot you" nit
Williamson paid no attention to the
threat, and fired. The first shot struck
the animal, which ran yelping into tho
road. Williamson fired second time
and the animal dropped dead.
True to his word, young Watkins
brought his gun to his shoulder aud
fred, and but for the fact that William
son lodged behind the fence he would
have received the entire charge in his
body. As it was, only few shots
struck him.
He then started to run, and Watkins
fired the second charge. This STRUCK
his uncle in the lower part of the leg,
tearing the fieshy part almost away.
Watkins then started on run for his
home, stating, it is said, ''to get more
cartridges and finish the job" but was
restrained by those within.
The wounded man was assisted to
DIR. Chambers office, some distance
away, and the wound dressed. lie
was then conveyed to Justice Joseph
Shortlidge, where he swore out war
rant for his nephew's arrest.
Watkins was given hearing and
held without bail on the charge Of
shooting with intent to kill. He was
brought to Jail today. 1t is feared
Williamson's leg will have to be ampu-
tated.
Mr.. Williamson was engaged in the
stock brokerage business in Whining
ton a few years ago. M
