If NEWSPAPERS STOPPED.

In the United States the
newspaper is necessity in
all other countries it is a lux
ury. Newspaper reading in
Europe, while not exclusive
to the upper and middle
classes is sufficiently SO to be
generality. The poorer class
eS of newspaper readers either
borrow the paper or buy it
because they cannot
get the racing results else
where.
Buying and reading a pa
per in Europe are a serious
business, naturally SO when
the European style of paper
is considered. Sometimes
there is an item in it Of
tener only speeches. Amer
leans abroad miss their daily
paper more than they do their
pie.
OF course everyone knows
that the apothesis of the
press has been reached in
America mainly because this
is a free country. Still, what
sort of a life would this be if
all the printing presses We're
suddenly to slip a cog be-
tween days and staid slipped.

This Is between - and IS Il

Americans spend 81, $50, 600
600 year or over 100000
600 Il month on alcoholic
stlmulants, nearly as much a
month for liquors as a year
for literature. The treating
habit has much to do with
this.

AN INJUSTICE OF THE STRIKE.

A curious and painful feature about
the steel strike is the great number of
unoiganized and unskilled laborers that
are bearing the brunt of this war
against capital. In round numbers ac-
cording to a statement in the Pittsburg
Commercial Telegraph of last Wednes-
day, II, 500 men are idle. Since then
this number has been increased by the
action of Joliet and Bay View. but, on
the other hand, number of new mills
have been opened, so the figures will
not show much change from this. 1t
would be interesting TO know how many
are members of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Tin. Steel and Iron Workers.
No reliable statistics are to be had, but
their number must be comparatively
small.

WHlSKEY FEET.

There is a man in Brooklyn,
\. Y. who IS a drunkard only
from his ankles down. That
is to say, while he never puts
a drop of intoxicating liquor
into his stomach, his feet are
confirmed topers. T h e Y
must have their whiskey at
regular intervals each day or
their owner suffers.
The man who possesses
these whiskey loving feet is
employed in one of the city
Departments in the munich
pal building, in Borough
hall square. At least half
Il dozen times a day he APP
pears at popular cafe on
Fulton street, near red hook
lane, and orders whiskey.
He fills IA glass almostl to the
brim with the liquor, but
has never been seen to drink
any of it. Instead, he stoops
down, unlaces one of his
shoes, and pours half of the
whiskey into it. Then he
pours the other half of the
liquor into the other shoe.

Ii would seem that Senator McLaus
rim. the junior South Carolina repre-
sentative in the United States senate
has kind of pitchfork of his own. He
has recently used this instrument
under the ribs Of the great and only
Senator Tillman. To an outsider it
would seem that McLaurin has at least
demonstrated that Tillman has not a
monopoly of the pitchfork business.
and at the same time he has shown the
outside world that Tillman has caught

The China, Glass and Pottery Review,

Owing mainly to scarcity of cheap
fuel, the manufacturers of glass goods
have shifted during the last generation
over several States of the Union. For
merly Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio
and New York were great glass making
States of the country, Massachusetts,,
! in the early part of the last century,
ranked with the leading States in the
glass-cutting industry, and gathered
much of the glory of the old masters
around her stack and cutting tables.
New York, up to 1885, held third place,
but many of the factories of Brooklyn,
which made fine cut ware, globes, Chin
neys, engraved goods and excellent col
ored glassware, which at that time were
unrivalled for purity of metal and
workmanship have been abandoned
and the State has dropped from third
to tenth place.
The State of Ohio, which, during the
years of 1885 to 1891, with her natural
gas boom displaced New Jersey for sec
ond place, will no doubt at the next
census report occupy fourth or fifth
position, while New Jersey, not having
materially increased her production
during the past ten years. will probably
stand fifth or sixth.

Peri|Ous Journey Through
Rapids at Niagara Falls.
Special to the Leader.

Special to the Leader.
Buffalo, N. Y, July 17.-Carlisle D.
Graham made his fifth successful jour
ney down the rapids of Niagara river
yesterday afternoon in the same boat
barrel which he used in his last pre-
vious trip II years ago. He almost suf-
focated from heat, being confined in the
barrel for 80 minutes.
Graham got in the barrel at $3.50
o'clock, at the old landing place of the
steamer Maid of the Mist. The barrel
had been standing in the sun all day,
inviting inspection by the thousands
who had come to the falls to see the
feat, and it was hot and uncomfortable
when Graham entered it. The barrel is
barely large enough to hold Graham
strapped in an upright position, and the
only air hoe is a tiny one in the top.
the diameter of mans finger.
The boatmen who took Graham and
his barrel out for the start were afraid
of going too far for their own safety,
and consequently did not put it in mid
stream. 1t drifted down as far as the
Cantilever bridge and then it was
caught in an eddy, which took it half
way back to the starting place. 1t held
in the eddy just twenty minutes, and
Graham was rapidly growing exhaust
ed from the heat and lack of air. He
was tempted, he said afterward. to
open the hole through which air enter
ed but did not know just where he
was on his journey.
Finally the barrel got in the middle

capped rapids. Graham then opened
the little hoe in the top of the barrel
and some of the cold water splashing
helped to revive him. His trip was
| then reaching the exciting stage. Once
| in the rapids the passage was swift. 1t
was three and half minutes from the
time the barrel struck the rapids until
it floated into the whirlpool The bar
rel was in sight of the many thousand
spectators all the time, except for a sec
ond. when wave washed over it.
Four swimmers were in the water 100
feet from the shore at the terminus of
the voyage. Capt. Billy Johnson of the
lifesaving guards at Coney Island, boss
ed the job. The barrel was not carried
into the middle of the whirlpool, but,
skirting it. reached the hands Of The
swimmers. This did not please some
young fellows, also in the water, who
wanted to see the barrel open, and one
of them jumped on the barrel showing
it under water and trying to send it
toward the whirlpool. He was chased
away, and Graham was towcd ashore
and released. He was so exhausted that
he had to be famed for haf an hour
before he would tell his tory. His
bruises were few.
Graham, who is now past fifty years
old, says that the principal discomfort
of the journey was the lack of air. He re
ceived 5000 for his feat, the money be

In 1890 " est Virginia stood ninth

Cleveland, o., July 17.-The official
call of the Bryan Democrats of Ohio
have issued an address to the Bryan
Democrats of Ohio. 1t charges the
Ohio convention of repudiating the two
last Democratic national platforms and
that the action of the convention was
the result of conspiracy mapped out
at the headquarters in New York The
platform concludes as follows: IF the
action of this convention shall stand
unrebuked then it must be understood
that the Democratic party as such has
repudiated the principles enunciated in
the Kansas City platform and ratified
and approved of the course pursued by
the Republican party upon the money
question. If the Democratic party
abandons the principles laid down in
the platform of 1896 and 1900 then 1t

SUICIDE.

On the question of suicide the CALI.
Suicide is so abhorrent to the great
majority of human minds. and so con-
trary to the Palmost universal desire to
cling to life to the last possible moment
that it has come to be the general opin-
ion, and we believe also the ruling of
courts, that it is always an act of in
sanity. We are not entirely welded TO
that view for we can conceive circum-
stances that might justify self-destruc-
ton. and consequently we are not dis
posed to sit in judgment on unhappy
knoweth its own sorrows, and burdens
that would be light for some might be
unbearable to Others. Death is not ter
rible to all men. 1t has not been fifty
years since in this country men of the
highest intelligence and in great posi- .
tions were ready to wipe out insult by
recourse to the duel, which was simply
a combination of murder and suicide
And those men who went out delber-
ately and coOlly to kill or be killed
cannot be accepted as insane. There
are arguments of much force that the
life a man owns is his to keep or to
take, and certainy the man who takes
his own life is better than he who takes
the life of another.
Suicide is not rare thing in rs
or any other civilized country. When
committed deliberately it requires
high order of courage, for while usu-
ally regarded as an escape from ills,
the sane suicide faces an uncertainty
that appalls the souls of the vast ma
1ority. The narrow house and the
grave are not inviting to weak human
ity, although certain to be reached in
due time,
In the case of Judge Dan Russell,
we believe there was arrangement.
When clothed in his right mind no fl q.
nancial troubles could ever WOO him to
desert his duty to wife and family and
it that could and did face death on the
field of battle for the preservation o.
the institutions of a free country. He
was not man who lodged danger or
duty either, and he need not have been
harassed for want of money. We
know one friend offered him all the fl
nacial assistance he desired only few
days before he went to Cincinnati.
This fact and the entire life of the
Judge, satisfies us that there was brain
trouble that overthrow the sane iudg
ment before he began preparations to
end his life. Worry and hot weather
touched his brain, his power of distin-
gushing the true relations of things
was lost, and he committed the deed
that has shocked and grieved all who
knew him. We shall always believs
that he went before his Maker uncon.
scious of offense.
