New York. March 16-It Is considered,

for 4e visits to Dr.. Egbeyt Guernsey dur
ing the last three weeks OF his life, nearly
three years ago.

FLATOW JUMPED
IN FRONT OF
MOv|NG TRAIN

New York, March 16.-Carl r. Flatow,
OF i02s East One Hundred and Sixty
ninth street. committed suicide AT 2:30 y
m. yesterday by throwing himself in
front OF a south-bound Subway train at
the Astor place station.
For half an hour the ticket chopper
noticed him pacing the station platform.
apparently in deep thought and evidently
was nervous. The ticket chopper was
about TO address him when a local train
approached, in charge of Motorman John
Highland Before he could interfere he
saw Flatow, after carefully measuring
the distance with his eve throw himself
in front OF the train. The wheels OF the
first car passed over him and his body be-
cemae wedged between the first and Sec
ond cars. Traffic was delayed half an
hour until IL could be extricated.
Flatow was well known in the neigh
borhood of Astor place. For IS years
he conducted a restaurant at Eighth
street and University place, well known
as a resort for the type OF authors and
artists who never sell pictures or get
their names on book covers.
Flatow. who was Of a generous dis
position used 10 permit them 10 run up
big bills at his place, but very few OF
the bills were ever paid. Finally he had
to move 10 a less pretentious place at No.
80 East Eighth street. His imprecarious
clientele followed him.
Last October he sold out and moved
to the me Hundred and Sixty-ninth
street address His wife says he had
been despondent ever since.
Yesterday morning he told her he was
going 10 20 down to his old locality and
he could begin business again. She heard
nothing more from him until she re-
ceived news OF his death. He leaves a
daughter ls years old.

IRvING's sELF.DENIAL.

Bram Stoker in Success Magazine
 There was one special act in Irving young life on the stage that has a les son for all young artists. When in 1859, having then had three full years of ex- perience as player, he got three years engagement in London and made his ap- pearance at the Princess he came to the conclusion that his work was not yet good enough for metropolitan favor. So he resolutely bent himself to the task before him, and with the reluctant con sent of his manager, cancelled his engage ment He went back to the weary rou- tine and labor and hardship of the pro- vinces, till the time should come for d more worthy effort. When we remember that a London engagement was, and is the goal of an ambitious actors hopes, and that it means regular work and regu- lar pay and an everincreasing opportuni- ty for distinguishing oneself. we can un- derstand that his self-denying resolution was little less than heroic. When. how ever, he did come again. seven years later, he had his reward He came to stay. He knew his work then, and knew that he knew it. His record from that on was an unbroken one of success and honor. His fight was won.

Tramp's Experience,

The title of the popular ragtime song, Isn't It Funny, When You Ask For Money, All You Get Is Sympathy was recalled to me somewhat forcibly this af- ternoon, when I happened to overhear a tramp asking young woman for some- thing to eat" said a stranger last even- ing in the lobby of the Hillman.
 T was walking in the residence sec tion when the fellow rang the bell of a house. The young woman answered and he asked for something to eat. She brought him food and spoke to him while he ate it. He mentioned that he had tramped into Birmingham looking for work, had no money and was so hungry he was weak. She gave him plenty to eat, even some hot coffee. and he appre- ciated it greatly, as could be easily seen Finally she remarked that he might find some work at Ensley, He asked how far off Ensley was and she told him it was seven miles. 1 could see the fellow vince at the prospect of that additional walk. but almost laughed aloud at the unconscious but ironical humor of the suggestion then made by the girl: You can catch a car right at the corner there she said. The fellow saw the humor of it, and walked off after thanking her stopped him and tipped him a quarter for carfare He smiled in good-humored way, and we both laughed at the joke which the girl apparently had not seen"

The Stock Market.

Henry Clews in his Wall street letter of Saturdays date says:
 'Speculation continues on an active and somewhat feverish scale; indications multiplying daily that the market is rap idly approaching turning point. Ef- forts to force prices 10 a still higher level continue with unabated vigor, and stocks are being bought by the public with increasing avidity and with little regard to intrinsic value. Meanwhile the buying fever is being carefully nurtured and is not confined to New York, but ex- tends to all parts of the country a much larger proportion of Stock Exchange busi- ness today being over the wire than ever before. These heavy speculative move ments are often being conducted by an entirely new and wealthy class of opera tors, many of whom are young and in- experienced men with lots of money, plenty of nerve. but slight experience and immature judgment.
 "On the other hand. it Is very signifi- cant that many of the shrewdest and wealthiest operators of long and tried experience have been steadily selling stocks. Even investors strong boxes have been much depleted during the last month. for shrewd buyers have recog- nized the unusual conditions. turned their holdings into cash and are now awaiting an opportunity to repurchase at a con s;derably lower level. which will surely develop before any great length of time. While it is quite possible that prices may be carried to higher level before reac- tion sets in, the technical position of the market Is growing increasingly hazardous. and since stocks are rapidly passing into weak hands the market stands exposed to severe break as soon as any severe strain Is encountered such as renewed stringency in money or unexpected disas- ter of any kind.
 Just now the financial skies are cloud less. and the only unsettling features are

Return to Mild Weather.

Our mild winter took a day or two off, but it has returned, and is prepar- ing to resume business>under previous conaluons. It is difficult to say why, for example, last winter was vigorous, and the present winter is mild. Some say Medicine Hat has lost out, and that Ship Island is boss of the weather that, in other words, our weather comes, as rule, from the warm waters of the Gulf instead of the icy fastnesses of the Rockies.
 The New York Herald's man says the mild winter is due to the fact that the cold waves from the west cross the continent in unusually high attitudes, going through Canada, thus giving over this country to weather from the trop- ics. But there is little use in delving into science of weather. It is quite enough to know that mild weather Is in our midst again, and that Is cer. tainly quite as intimate as 1t need be- come.
 No one need swallow all the stories that are told. Wild geese are not fly ink northward They are wise geese, and they know when to go back to Alaska. Nor is the peach crop dam aged. It has net even shown blos- som, much less leaf, and no one knows what the sap in the Alabama trees Is doing. There will be peaches this year, notwithstanding the reports of summer days in the winter season. Caterpillars and snakes may come out, but the groundhog will bide his time, and the groundhog knows more about the weather than all the other animals. Keep you eye on the groundhog. His day comes next week.

fall 10 consider a large number of re. forms needed in the church. The Car has promised to call such council "at a propitious time,9 and it is believed that such time will follow the ses- sions of the douma.
 The downfall of the vicious and mar row Pobiedonestseff, who had long been procurator and ruler of the Rus sian church, occurred on October 31. He went out of power beaten and baf- fed and discredited on every hand. No one did more than he to uphold au- tocraey and bureaucracy, but at length the time came to put him out of of fee. His successor in the ministry Is Prince Alexis Obolenslxy, a liberal and a man of broad views, who will do all he can to restore the orthodox church to favor among the Russian people. The movement which looks towards restoration of churchly authority and of church reform in general is full of meaning, showing as it does how deep and wide the revolution in Russia really is. The ex-procurator has left his country for his country's good, and few in Russia desire to see his face or hear ais voice again.

Abuse of Frankina Privilege.

At the instance of Congressman Sims of Tennessee the House com mlltee on postoffices and postroads has been instructed to inquire whether congressman are abusing the franking privilege. A newspaper had stated that members of the House were send ing in the mails COWS, libraries and all manner of other animals and arti- cles-especially cows. It is matter of history that Governor Yates of Hi nois sent a COW by express from Jack sonville to Springfield when he went to the latter city to become Illinois governor. History neglects to say how the COW was returned to Jacksonville when MT. Dineen became governor, but 1t is fair to presume that she was not entrusted again to the tender mer- cies of an express company under an express frank.
 The news from Washington does not fur.dsh particulars of the sending of COWS in the mails-whether they are put in bags made expressly for the purpose, or are simply bagged, in which case ths COW, if unruly, might make the man car too small at times. and uncomfortable at all times. In some way COWS sent in the mails must bear franks and those franks must be so written and placed that they can be hit by the clerk or postmaster armed with a cancelling machine. The entire subject Is to be investigated, and when the committee on postoffices and postroads makes its report we will know all about 1t.

mother to assist them. It would seem from her suggestions that she was at the time, brushing up on her Latin for the first name she suggested was "Cae- sar."
 No, ma'am." said Uncle George em- phatically. T don't want no dogs name for my child.''
 Vainly she strove to assure him that Caesar was the name of very great man. He would have none of it.
 How would Pompey do, George?" she ventured again timidly.
 Dat aint no better Oats a hoss's name.' blurted out old George.
 Then she suggested Virgil" telling him it was the name of an illustrious Latin poet. It pleased both him and Mary Anne, and the young one was christened Virgil. He was, as he grew up, the dirtiest, greasiest, fattest most grotesque young slave in all the land. and even to this day l smile to think of what a travesty he was upon P. Virgilius Marc, the Roman. I subsequently, traded Vir- gil off with my father for another boy named Yellow John" and got the worst of it. My dear mother was gone before the next child came to George and Mary Anne and as he was a boy they hon. ored her memory by naming him Ser kcaHt, lndI DtlilS Hci ldLuAly Iidtilt.
 George and Mary Anne were as much a part of our family as if they had been blood kin. I know of no servants nova days between whom and their employers any such relations of love and sympathy exist as those between Uncle George and Aunt Mary Anne and our own. Many is the day 1 have passed in play with John fishing or sailing or breaking calves or doing the thousand things for boys to do on a farm. When l was hungry Aunt Mary Anne fed me. and when I was sleepy she has put me many day upon her clean. quilted bedspread and covered me with her shawl On Sunday she rode to church with us in the same carriage with the baby in her arms-and how of- ten have l gone to sleep on those long rides with my head pillowed on her fat lap Yet I have practiced social separa- ton more religiously and believe in it just as firmly as many an upstart youngster oI the present who prates about the dan gers of negro equality and hates ne- groes.
