Palatka Advertiser: The establishment
of the Monkridge Manufacturing Com
pany, or tanning factory in this city, has
given rise to the inauguration of a unique,
and what promises to become profitable
industry to rural and other citizens of
Putnam county. Vast areas of saw pal
metto land that have hitherto been of no
value to their owners are fast being turn
ed to good account. The roots are grub
bed up by those disposed to ply such a
vocation and sold to the Monkridge Man
ufacturing Company at so much per cord
from which fannie acid is extracted.
There are hundreds of cords of these
roots already out of the ground and
stacked Immediately west of town await
ing delivery. Remunerative employment
is thus afforded those who wish to en-
gage in this sort of business.

METHODS OF SUICIDE.
How Desperate Persons Adopt Pre-
vaiIinG styles of Destruction.

How Desperate Persons Adopt Pre-
vaiIinG styles of Destruction.
From the New York Mail and Express.
The remarkable methods several sui
cides have adopted in this city recently
call attention to the fact that methods
of self-destruction are largely matters of
suggestion" said a doctor. when a
man gets in that condition where he
wants to die, he has little inventive abil-
ity and adopts the method that has been
brought to his mind. You will notice that
after one person kills himself with acid
there follows a long list of acid suicides.
1t is the same way with any unusual
method. One person gets an original way,
and that inspires the next one to try his
hand, until we have a whole series of
such grewsome novelties.
II have proved this theory. Several
years ago l was discussing this feature
of suicide with several friends, including
the coroner They ridiculed my theory.
I offered to prove it, 1t happened that
shooting and hanging were popular Just
then. l wrote an article for a newspaper
on the horrors of strangulation and pistol
wounds and explained the ease with which
one could kill himself with prussio acid.
Death from prussic acid you know. is
absolutely instantaneous and, many be-
lieve, painless. There had not been a sui
eide with this acid for more than a year,
but within a week after the article was
published there were four. and one of the
unfortunates had clippings of my arti-
Gle in his pocket
"Of course, l was accused of killing
these four by suggestion, but was new
er arrested and do not feel guilty, for
when once a person has decided to kill
himself the method is a slight matter.
No person in his right mind will commit
suicide. We all know in our sane moments
of easy ways to end life, but when the
suicidal frame of mind nature seems to
rob us of our reason in this direction, as
if in a desperate hope of preventing tne
sacrifice"

HUMAN NATURE At THE FIRE.

Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen:
Human nature is-human nature, and
even when surrounded by difficulties and
distress, human nature is often funny.
Recent occurrences have been too serious
in Jacksonville for joking. but now 1t
is just as well to recall some of the
queer things we did and the queer
things we said" at the time of the COM
bustion storm. Many stories have been
told on the streets, and people have been
seen to laugh in the midst of their woe.
The morning after the event. an aged
colored citizen, who is employed at the
Terminal Station, reported for duty as
usual. well, old man." said one of the
railroad officials. what did you save?"
"Nothin', boss, 'ceptin' the old oman and
nine chillun," was the laconic reply.
Another colored citizen was asked the
same question. mo, sir, never saved a
thing. ] didn't take my things out be-
cause ! didn't think my house would
burn. / never thought the fire would
burn all the way from Cleveland to WASH
ington." 1t will be remembered that the
origin of the blaze was In the neighbor-
hood of Cleveland street, and that IT
stopped at Washington street. The story
IS told OF a gentleman who found wag
on, with no horses. in what is now the
burned district, and used It to haul off
some household goods incidentally saw
ing tho wagon from destruction. Next
morning the gentleman succeeded in find-
ing the wagons owner. who was over
joyed that IT was saved. and profuse In
his thanks. After looking over the We
hicle as though It were a prodigal son
returned. he turned and inquired OF its
rescuer: Say John. did you see any
thing of a halter that was lying In that
wagon yesterday" The story is told OF
another woman. for whom three or four
men were bringing some heavy furniture
down stairs The house was even then
smoking, but the good lady repeatedly
warned the men to handle the furniture
carefully so as mot TO break the plas-
tering" along the walls where the stair
way ran. There is a tale about a young
man popular in society who worked he
roically to help his neighbors save some
valuables. and. IN the excitement, took
off his coat and vest. hanging them on
nearby fence he forgot about them until
too late At the last moment he rushed
20 his own room, snatched what clothes
he could first lay his hands on. and all
unconscious. appeared IN the street a few
moments later In full evening dress.

Liberty Herald: Savannah has sent
about IS 600 to the sufferers from the Jack
sonvile fire, and yet there was no blare
of trumpets, there was no brass band
down at the depot to send the money
away joyfully; there was no street parade
either. and the amounts given were only
printed In the daily press and then in un-
loaded minion type. Two or three car
loads Of provisions and clothing were sent
and no street parade was held over them
either In fact ten-line reading notice
in the dailies told where to leave provls-
ions and clothing, the headquarters to be
open for day or two, and the whole
thing was done. These methods are in al
most direct contrast with those of Atlanta
that sent just half what Savannah did.

POOR PEACH CROP At ALBANY.

Albany Herald: A Herald man heard
several local peach growers talking yes
terday, and their estimate of the peach
crop in this region this season was rather
disappointing. Not one of them thought
he would gather anything like half crop.
All reported that the fruit was wormy and
beginning to fall off the trees. One said
that an examination of his orchard re-
vealed the fact that the Elbertas, now
about half grown, are eXuding gum, show
ing that they have been attacked by in
sects, and the others all said that they
had noticed the same conditions in their
respective orchards. The concensus OF
opinion was that there would be very lit
tie fruit for shipment this season. Whlle
the prospect of the peach crop in this I'M
mediate vicinity is anything but promis-
ing. we are reliably informed that as near
by as Sylvester it is all that could be de-
sired.

McTYEIRE's APPEAL.
All the Friends of Christianity Are
Asked to Help.


Jacksonville, Fla, May 1O-Dear Breth-
rem of the Methodist Church: In the great
confiagration of May 3, which destroyed
$l5OOO,000 worth of property. McTyeire
Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church
and parsonage, with all their
contents, were consumed. Into
this church building the people
had put their offerings, at much sacrifice,
for several years. 1t was great credit
to the denomination and a monument of
noble fidelity to our Lords cause, and its
people a power for good in the commu-
nifty. 1t must be rebuilt. The homes of
more than one hundred families of its
membership are in ashes They are left
destitute. Jacksonville's business houses
are being rebuilt, and our sister churches
are rising from their ashes by the help
OF their friends. Now, dear brethren of
the Methodist Church and al friends to
Christianity, come at once to the relief of
your brethren, who have passed through
the most appalling calamity that has come
10 any community in all modern history.

jacksonville Fla, May 25.-Editor Morn
ing News: Since the above appeal was
written we have made a more careful
canvass of our membership, and we find
the situation much more serious than it
indicates. Out of four hundred (400) men,
bers, 80 per cent. were burned out of
house and home, losing all they had OK
cept what they had on, or they lost all
the property out of which they derived
their incomes, or they are thrown out of
employment. Barely 10 per cent. are able
to contribute to the support of the pas
tor or towards rebuilding the church. Such
calamity has never been visited upon
any church and congregation in the his
tory of our country or in modern times.
1t staggers human credulity Neverthe-
less, we give you the facts as they are.
In casting about for plans to secure funds
to rebuild, we bethought us of the many,
who, year after year, visit our sunny
Land of Flowers" to escape the rigors
of their Northern winters and regain their
lost health. We have ever given them
hearty welcome when they came to wor-
ship with us and mingle with us around
our sacred altar in the sweet "commun-
ion of saints" We could think of no
better way to reach them than through
the columns of their great daily news
papers. We, therefore, ask a space in
your columns. This church was the great
central church of our denomination in this
city and state Its influence for good
was predominant. 1t was the largest and
finest church in the city. 1t was new
and modern, having been dedicated only
seven years 1t cost $4,000 The archi-
tect and board of trustees thought it to
be practically fire proof, so they only
carried $1,000 on it. Ordinarily, it would
not have been burned, but when the
mighty waves of heat and flames from
thousands of burning houses roared
around II on all sides like the sound of
the ocean mad with storm, the metal
frames and stained glass of its beautiful
memorial windows were welted like wax
and let into the auditorium heat as white
as that of furnace under a fierce blast
The handsome pews, the grand organ and
all else that was infiammable were con-
sumed In a few minutes. In the short
space of one hour and ten minutes this
monument of self-denial was mass of
blackened walls and crumbling towers.
For the glory of God and the credit OF
the church at large. we feel sure it
ought ito be rebuilt at once. To do 1t
we must have the immediate help of all
who will help the helpless. Will you
help us? Any contributions you may re-
ceive and forward TO us will be CRATE
fully acknowledged
