mistaken superstition that there was nothing
better in the world. took his life in a mo-
ment of despair. The case is a striking
Illustration OF the results that may follow
too much repression of the natural tenden-
cies in youth According To this man of
thirty, he had lived on farm all his life
without any pleasure. Perhaps he had
worked too hard. undoubtedly his work had
been monotonous. and ii is monotony that
kills. II is the lack not so much of what
are commonly called pleasures, as of vari-
ETY. of occupation that has driven so many
farmers, and especially so many farmers
wives, into insane hospitals. The lack of
companionship has also been an element in
driving them into a state of melancholy.
In. most instances the rebound from the re-
preston comes earlier and with less vio-
lence in young people than CHANGED TO be
the case with this youth. and the result
is likely to be salutary. With a harmless
and wholesome outlet found for their tastes
and energies, life takes on cheerful
aspect. But recreation youth must have in
some form or suffer beyond measure.

street. 1t seems to the Journal that there
is but one reasonable solution of the ques-
ton. Every city makes it rule to keep
certain streets free from street cars, leav-
ing them clear for driving purposes. Merid-
ian street. by common consent. is one such
thoroughfare. Delaware above Massachu-
setts avenue is another. There seems no
good excuse for varying this rule as the
streets go farther north. Both Meridian
and Delaware should be free from car
tracks far north as they may extend
Pennsylvania street is out of the question.

height of the crown of the Twenty-second
Street sewer at this crossing. This leaves
Talbot avenue the logical line for the eX-
tension. The track is laid on that avenue to
Twenty-second, and the convenience OF the
residents north will be fully met by con-
tinuing it on the same street. The con-
venience and best interests of the majority
should govern the decision.

News from the seat Of war in the far
East indicates that the Japanese have
gained another important victory. The dis
patches are somewhat vague. but they are
conclusive on the point that a Russian
warship has been sunk with nearly all on
board.
AS the first account of the disaster to the
Russian arms comes from 81. Petersburg.
ii is safe to assume that it is favorable
possible to Russia. Even this account ad
mits the sinking of a Russian warship with
several hundred officers and men, including
Vice Admiral Makaroff. 1t says the ship
was sunk by an accidental encounter with
a Russian mine. 1t is more likely to have
been sunk by japanese torpedo.
In either case the result is a victory for
the japanese A powerful Russian warship
has been destroyed, including her crew of
several hundred men and officers, with a
few exceptions. Vice Admiral Makaroff
who is admitted by the Russian authorities
to have been killed or drowned, was prob
ably the most brilliant man in the Rus
sian navy and one on whom the Russian
government built great hopes for the con-
duct of naval affairs in the East. This
loss to Russia will be as great as that of
the loss of Admiral Dewey would have been
to the United States in the battle of Manila
bay. Full details of the affair probably will
show that it was distinct Japanese vic
