Attempted Suicide.

Last Saturday evening Henry
Lehde, who resides in Dingman
township, after spending the day in
town where he passed his time con-
eealing beer inside his anatomy, re-
turned home and attempted suicide
by swallowing a large dose Of strych-
nine. He had remarked to his sister
that he would be dead before mid
night and she in some way obtained
possession Of the bottle containing
the remainder of the poison and
threw it in the fire. Medical aid was
summoned and antidotes administer
ed and these, in conjunction with the
beer he had consumed, operated to
so counteract the effects Of the drug
that his life was saved.

Judge Endlich in the common
pleas Of Berks county has decided
that in the Interpretation and en-
forcement Of the Sunday laws Of 1894
the question whether a given act is a
work Of necessity does not depend
upon conditions and situations as
they existed in 1884 or fifty or thirty
FIVE years ago, but upon conditions
as they exist at the present time.
Hence the running Of street ears on
Sunday in large city and its sub
urbs is a necessity, and is not a vio-
lation Of the Sunday law Of 1894,

men iD the house is producing re-

The lobby is also engaged and with
some success it is feared in stirring
up an animosity between the house
and the senate. There are some

believe that the industry will be Sc
vereiy injured by a grant OF 25 per
cent reduction to Cuba but on the
other hand they say that II the al
ministration is correct aud Caban

sion it had better be granted be-
cause otherwise the United States

serve order in Cuba aud that will
mean annexation and free trade

NEGATIVE VIRTUES.

Negative virtues are the moral
frills and furbelows with which
mos; of us are wont to adorn our
regulations, and put down to our
credit on character. However
becoming we may fancy these ae-
cessories to be, they generally add
nothing to our strength of charac-
ter. If a man doesn't drink. swear
or gamble, simply because he has
never had Sufficient temptation to
WELD to these vices. he isn't NOR
ally stronger than,the poor wretch
who has yielded, and "gOne the
gaits," because sorely tempted.
Too often we deplore or cen
sure the shortcomings and sins of
others, when, if put in their plac-
es, we would probably do the
same. or even worse.
We feel sure that extreme poverty
would not lead us into dishonesty
or crime as it does thousands OF
others, and that We would not
misuse or waste great wealth as
many of the more favored Go. but
after all, our strength and wisdom
are only negative, and remain TO
be proven.
Many woman OF spotless repu-
tation and model of propriety.
who scorns some poor fallen Sis
ter, never realizes that she is what
she is, because great temptation
never assailed her, and not be-
cause of positive strength of char.
acter.
Most of us are confident that
we could fill a public Office, prac-
tice profession, or even run a
newspaper, and toe the mark OF
perfection every time. but practi-
cal experience would doubtless
prove sound cure for such con-
ceit. 1t is what we have the
moral courage to do, and how.we
shape our lives, and not what we
refrain from dong because we are
not tempted, that is the real test
of character.
