THE NEWS AND SUICIDES.

The coroner at Cleveland Ohio, inspired by the re-
suits of close observation engaged securing an
among the newspapers of his town to refrain
from the publication of suicide stories He declares that
one suicide and the publication of its details invariably
leads other unhappy persons destroy themselves by
the same methods.
The contention is not one, but 1t IS doubtful
if it is sound 1t perhaps true that suicides oc
cur in the form of epdemcs The is true OF crimes
Newspaper editors in their direction OF the search Tor
news always look for crimes to waves, but it
cannot be contended that the set IN motion by
the publication of the first crime of series These
are not to be accounted any than can
account for the manifestation of psychological phe-
nomena which leads great numbers of widely distributed
men and women to seize suddenly upon the same idea
and make it fad.
1t might be held, with reason, that the pubca-
ton of the details of suicide by horrible would
act as deterrent on morbidy inclined 1t IS
very certain that the suicides by OF carbol1c
acid are fewer than they would be if the people
had not come to know the horror of the death agony
when induced by this poison We do not know just what
statistical information the Cleveland has acquired
but might be put it to show that the attitude OF the
newspapers has had do with the increase in the num-
Der of suicides.
There is no newspaper publisher in the country
with possibly few exceptons-who would not gladly
agree to suppress the details of all events in which the
element of horror dominates if it could be shown that
such suppression would contribute the beerment OF
the moral and mental condition of the people. The ten
dency of the progressive newspaper of today to avoid
the publication of details of horrible crimes 1t has been
demonstrated that the newspaper reading public does
not need to be shocked But agreement to suppress
actual and important newthat very different matter

NEGRO ELEVATOR MAN
BUTTED IN THE DOOR
Shattered the Glass. but the Conclusion
Didn't Affect Him.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Gustav Beard,
thirty-three years old, a negro elevator
man employed in the Desheler apartment
house at 124 West One Hundred and
Fourteenth street, was arraigned in the
Harlem police court yesterday on charge
of assault preferred by John F. White,
a tenant of the house.
White told Magistrate Baker that he
was at party with his wife the night be-
fore. and that when they returned home
at 1870 o'clock they found Beard asleep
in the hallway. ST woke him up White
said, "and asked him to take US upstairs.
He refused and we insisted. Then he at
tackled my wife and myself and chased US
out Of the hall. I closed the door after
us and he butted it with his head, break
ing the glass"
Beard told the magistrate that the ele-
vator was out of order. and that when
/. he tried to. tell White, White banged
his head against the glass door. Police
man Hooper, of the West One Hundred
and TWenty-fifth street station, who made
the arrest, said that when he arrived on
the scene Beard was severely cut about
the head and he found it necessary to
have him removed to the j. Hood Wright
hospital.
Il guess he's been punished enough, :"
Magistrate Baker said to White, land If
you will withdraw the complaint III let
him off with a reprimand."
White consented and the negro was dis
charged.

BARGAIN COUNTER FOR ISLANDS.

There is at least inherent probability the rumor
from London which credits the United States with the
intention to secure the transfer to itself of the island
possessions of France in the Eastern Pacific Why not
to be sure? We in the island business. we have
acquired the island habit the island appetite so to speak
No island unaccompanied by its natural protector OF
guardian ought to our way
We took the Spanish possessions in the West Indies
We took the Philippines We tried to take the DANISH
West Indies and failed there only because the people
of Denmark would not agree to the transfer Perhaps
they did like the bargan-couner ldea and then again
perhaps they were exactly pleased with what we did
islands after got them But at any rate 1t is
fair enough to infer that out with the stuff Tor
islands, and that anybody having islands not too
much shopworn OF antiquated in style to dispose of
ought to around and see us.
1t seems that there 1900 square miles OF
islands at the disposal of France; and
ole, in round numbers, upon them, who might be INTRO
duced the blessings of segovernment under the con-
stituton the remarkable decisions OF Our supreme
court have interpreted it. They could be taught that
they citizens where citizenship implied burden but
not where it carried privilege They could learn that
the constitution the United States and the Declaration
of independence supposed to contain the law and
the gospel of America and that they would be shot down
if they presumed to entertain any ideas like those there
contained on their behalf
In short, it would be most Illuminating experience
for these islanders transfer their allegiance to
they had Glanced to work out for themselves any
crude notions of liberty should not advise the CHANGE
but having been accustomed to the rule OF power not
always exactly tender immaculate in its colonial rela
TONS perhaps the insuar policy of the United States
might prove too vigorous for their constitutions
But what is the of considering the matter from
this point of view at all? The people of the islands don't
count for anything anyhow. If we can buy them at
good shrewd bargain counter price, that is the only
thing have think about. Thomas Jefferson would
have reasoned that way, but do. We in the
market for islands, and anybody having undesirable pos
sessions any of the is invited to come for
ward and unload.

prince in despair enters monastery The moral is OBJ

know that they may not mate with princes
The royal writer has certainly not made out

who obterated herself when her dawnng intelligence
showed her that if she persevered she might the end
be obliged to take stenography in order to
support her prince. Carmen Sylvia poet and some

Prince Di Colonna, whose lineage ancient that he

Mr. Pattson brought about his fnish-which else might

his relatives would find it necessary to take him out back
of the woodshed and knock him in the head in order to
get rid of him.

years ago stage driver possessed of the courage
of his convictions. During the earlier years of his life

theory in his own case He deliberately took to cigars
For him no ackadasical cigarette hygienic pipe

seeds of destruction ranged through their whole length
and breadth And he sat him down in the evening of his
days to demonstrate theory
But alas for human frailty! He grew to like the
demon that turks in the smoke. Instead of dying he
grew fat and healthy Reeking with tobacco he acquired
something of reputation for dispute with those who
denounced tobacco and its He declared that if he

DUBLIN PREPARES
TO WELCOME KING
Edward VII. of England Will
Reach the Irish Capital
Tomorrow.

DUBLIN, July liking Edward will
be well received Tuesday in Dublin on his
first visit to the Irish capital since his
accession to the throne The differences
of opinion and incidental disturbances
which marked the recent sittings of the
Dublin corporation are not expected to
find a reflection in the attitude of the
population, but still people are wondering
what degree of cordially will mark the
welcome to be accorded to the visiting
monarch
The king and queen will leave London
tomorrow, but will not make the state
entry into Dublin till Tuesday During
the thirteen days of their Irish trip their
majeSties will travel over wide range
from north to south. During their stay
at Dublin they will hold a levee, a draw
ing ROOM and review, with minor func-
lions, such as state banquet and a gala
performances at the theater For this
Beerbohm Tree has received a royal
command to go to Dublin. He will trans
fer his company and scenery for the three
plays to be given by a special train and
steamer, which latter will be made the
company's headquarters during the stay
in Ireland.
One part of the royal programme,
which is unusual is a visit to the Dublin
Sums A VlcereSaI OITlclal mas Deen Qe-
tailed to make all arrangements for this
excursion, so it is likely that King Ed
wards Summing experiences will not
have many characteristics of those Of
Harun-al-Rashid.-
In addition to visiting a number Of
places in the neighborhood of Dublin and
Belfast. the king and queen will Grob-
ably do some automobiling over Irish
roads.
The royal yacht Victoria, and Albert.
after landing their majesties at Kings
town, will go to Bangor, where their
majesties will re-embark for Buncrana,
and then proceed overland to Galway.
The cruise then will be continued to
Berehaven and Queenstown, whence the
travellers to Cowes, which place will be
reached on Aug 2.
Dispatches from Dublin state that the
city already is showing signs of coming

bREATH|TT EXPECTS
RENEWAL OF F[UD
Grand jury viii This Week In
vestigate Attempted Bribery
of Even.

JACKSON, KY, July ia renewal
of feud troubles is brewing here. The
special grand jury, called by Circuit
Judge Redwine, to investigate the
charges of attempting to bride B. j.
Even not to testify against Curtlss
Jet and Thomas White in the Marcum
murder case, and of arson for the
burning of Ewen's hotel, after he had
testified, convenes here tomorrow. The
instructions of Judge Redwine are
anxiously awaited, as it is reported
that the grand jury will be asked to
go into a sweeping inquiry concerning
conditions in Breathitt county, where
twenty-seven lives have been lost
since the Hargis- Cardwell feud start
ed, and as yet no one has ever been
punished for any of these capital Of
lenses. In the event of general IN
QUESTION, it is conceded that persons
highly connected will be involved, and
that trials for the killing of DR.. Cox
and Town Marshal Cockrill will fol-
low close on the second trial of Jet
and White for the murder of Marcum.
1t is feared that trouble may begin
when BIZ Even returns here tOmOr-
row from Lexington to testify against
a we'll known citizen for Offering him
$4,000 cash if he would not testify
against Jett and White. In anticipa-
ington, made his will and arranged all
his affairs. About $4,000 was raised
for him by popular subscription after
he lost everything he had in the in
cendiary fire, and this he has fixed for
his family, his wife and part of his
children being here awaiting his re-
turn.
Even has told Commonwealth At
torney Byrd and others who offered
him the bride, and it is said that the
man has no means of his own, so that
the bribery investigation will not ex-
tend to the one who was to furnish
the fund.
This town has been kept quiet I'M
der martial law by the provost mar
shall since Jet and White were trans
ferred to the Jail at Lexington, a month
ago, but there are many apprehenSive
for the coming week, although the
troops are still here. The militia have
been continuously here for two months
After the killing of Town Marshal
James Cockrill there was no one to
the soldiers arrived in May Then
City Judge Cardwell, who had been a
prisoner in his own house for eighteen
months, resumed holding court. The
town trustees have just appointed Jo-
Seph NeWland as town marshal. He
is considered one of the bravest men
in the mountain districts. During the
past seven years seven men have held
this position. Four of them were kill
ed while on duty and two of the other
three were forced to resign.
1t is expected that the special grand
jury will complete its work this week
so that the attorneys, witnesses and
others can go to Cynthiana, where the
next trial of lett and White for nIIr-
dering Marcum begins July 81.
