OF PARIS.

America, during the last so years, seems
to have been metamorphosed as by the
touch of magician's wand. Fifty years
ago. Europe hattered herself that she had
discovered America. To-day she may con-
tinue to fatter herself, but her self-satisfac-
ton is not unmixed with alarm. She is
proud of her discovery Of America, BUT
SHE IS ALARMED AT AMERICAN
DISCOVERIES. Fifty years ago, you were
competitors. You have increased your pro-
duction, both industrial and agricultural, in
a few years, to such point that our Euro
pean markets are crowded with your

The Discipline OF Washington

The meaning of Washington in American

the cultivation Of discipline Washington
did not give patriotism to the American
colonies. The people had that as abundantly
as he. He did not give them courage. That
quality was and is in the American blood
He did not give them resource There were
intellects more productive than his
But Washington gave balance and direc-

EPIDEMIC OF SUICIDE
Lieutenant Commander Bronaugh
OF the Navy Blows Out His
Brains on Kearsarge.

New York. Sept. s0.-Lieutenant
Commander William V. BrOnaugh Of
the United States navy committed sui
eide today on the battleship Kearsarge
AT the navy yard. by blowing out his
brains with revolver. Friends Of
Commander Bronaugh believe that he
was very much worried over the mani
fold duties of his position as executive
officer. which are conceded TO be more
arduous than those of any other officer
in the navy.
Captain Purnell F. Harrington OF the
Brooklyn navy yard said
There is an epidemic or suicide In
the navy. as surely as there was ever
an epidemic OF fever. Such thing
may occur and cannot be explained.
The man had probably been thinking
of the other suicides, which are very
sad affairs, and then in an unguarded
moment the desire to try it seized him
and II was all over in a minute.
Commander Bronaugh was born In
Kentucky and entered the naval acad-
envy in 1873.
