SAT DEAD AT HIS DESK.
New York Lawyer Killed Himself in
His Office.

Sitting naturally at his desk, as though
surprised by sleep at the end of a weary
day. Joseph N. Goldbacher, a lawyer with
offices at No. 229 Broadway. was found by
the janitor of the building at o clock last
night. He was dead, with bullet in his
right temple and the revolver with which
he had cut short his career lay beside his
chair. Two letters pinned to the lapel of
his coat gave the reason for suicide.
''Oh. he's all right" returned the jani-
tor. MFR. Goldbacher often stops late.

he don't come down in an hour or two l

The Janitor began to worry because the
lawyer had failed to leave his office for
home. He proceeded to the room and en-
tered. BY the light of the electric lamp he
discovered what had escaped the attention
of Mrs. Custer, the caretaker, who had left
the room in partial gloom. AT the feet OF
the man lay a revolver with one chamber
empty. In Mr.. Goldbacher's temple was a
bullet wound. Death had come instantly,
and the features were composed and nat
ural the eyes being closed as in sleep.
Pinned to the lawyers coat, In such a

Is Cleanliness Ever Injurious.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Probably there never has been a finer
piece of sanitary work done than Col. Cor
gas has done on the Isthmus OF Panama.
Within two years he has practically driven
the mosquito out of that country and abol-
ished yellow and malarial fever 1t was
generally supposed chat when this had been
accomplished the greatest obstacle to the
construction OF the Panama canal would
have been removed, but in fact IL appears
TO have created new obstacle.
1t is now said that the cleanliness which
has been secured and enforced among the
Jamaica negro laborers has proved injuri-
Gus and that they are dying in great num-
bers from pneumonia and throat troubles.
The explanation given of 1t Is that In ia
maica the negroes, in order to exclude the
night air, sleep in close and ill-ventilated
quarters and that this cramps their lungs
so that when Col. Gorgas provides them
with clean and nicely ventilated quarters
they only take cold and die.
The facts and the theory may all be true,
but at this distance they look incredible.
The question is whether any amount or
living in impure air will ever make pure
air injurious to the lungs. Ii is well known
that the human eye may become adjusted
to darkness so that II cannot bear the
light and that the lungs may become adj
Justed to high or low barometer so that
a change may be fatal, but when IL is said
that people may become so accustomed to
filth and TO impure air that they sicken and
die when they adopt cleanly habits and
breathe pure air the statement does not
carry conviction with It,
II this theory were true II might relieve
sympathizing people of good deal of their
pity for the poor. Immense sums of money
have been expended in providing sanitary
homes for the working classes. but If IL be
possible that such improvements do harm
the money might better be spent in some
other way.
Everybody will hope that 1t will at least
not be shown that cleanly people who are
I'll owe their illness to their cleanliness and
that they will have to forego their cleanli-
ness in order to get well.

The Right Age.
Buffalo Commercial.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
Among the litigants before the English
courts some years ago Mrs Weldon,
who indeed, was so constantly at law that
Baron Pollock once remarked: This lady
has now such very large business at the
bar that We must give her every indul-
gence." Mrs. Weldon was not abashed by
the judges. and said many clever things
in court The "reminiscences of the late
John George Witt. X. c.. include an anee-
dote of one of her appearances in the court
of appeal She was endeavoring to upset
a Judgment of Vice Chancellor Bacon. and
one ground of complaint was that the Judge
was too old to understand the case. There
upon Lord Esher said: The last time You
were here you complained that your case
had been tried by my brother Bowen, and
you said he was only bit of a boy and
could not do you Justice. Now you come
here and say that my brother Bacon was
too old. What age do you want the judge
TO be?" your age" promptly replied Mrs.
Weldon, fixing her bright eyes 'on the hand
some countenance of the master of the
rolls.

FATALITIES IN MINES.
Nearly 1000 Men Killed in Pennsyl-
vania From 1881 to 1905.

The annual report of James E. Roderick,
chief of the Pennsylvania. department of
mines for the year 1905 shows a. total loss
of life In and about the anthracite mines
of 644 and In and about the bitumineus
mines of 479. The report states that from
1881 to 1905, inclusive, 4,425 miners and
2. 452 miners laborers were killed In Penn
sylvania, and that more than half of these
fatalities are due to negligence. careless
ness, recklessness and ignorance Oh the
part of the victims.
The report suggests that commissioner
be appointed to prepare mining law that
will be comprehensive enough to cover the
needs of both the anthracite and bituminous
mines The total output of coal of Penn
syivania for 1905 represents a value at the
mines of about $3.50. 900, coo. and at points
of distribution of about 5000 coo.

rior we're kept busy for several days running
off secret circulars and manifestos to the
public abusing Count de White and misrep-
resenting his policy. his actions and his mo-
uves. This indicates the audacity as well
as the unscrupulOusness of his enemies.
There does not seem to be the slightest
doubt that this malicious literature was
not only printed in the ministry of the in
terror at FOntanka street. but 1t was cir
culated under the direction of one of De
Whites associates In the ministry, and the
text of several circulars prepared by
Mr.. Durnovo himself or approved by him.
The man In direct charge of the work was
one Ratchkofski, who gained considerable
notortety In the secret police. When Count
de Witte learned OF this printing office he
ordered it closed and dismissed Ratchkof-
ski from the service. Mr. Durnovo paid
his tool 10000 rubles in cash and provided
him with another post at a larger salary
than he had been receiving before. This
treachery on the part of the minister of the
interior was reported TO the car. but his
majesty informed Count de White that he
desired Mr.. Durnovo to remain in office.
De Witte then rendered his resignation be-
cause he found IT impossible to work In
harmony" with his colleagues.
Nobody was punished for this plot; it is
not known that Durnovo was ever repri-
manded for his infamous conduct, but he is
utterly discredited among and despised by
all honorable men. There were three sets
of these proclamations-one intended espe-
cialiy for the members of the court, an
other for the "intellectuals'' or educated
people and the third for the ignorant
classes
There you have the reason why Count
de Witte retired from the Office of prime
minister. l have the facts from a gentle
man who is In his confidence Other ex-
plantations have been given, but these are
the facts.
White Responsible for the Parliament.
De Witte IS responsible for the parlia-
ment 1t was his idea, and he promised the
car that the members would be reasonable,
that the parliament would be respectful
TO the crown and would work harmoniously
with the ministry. On the other hand he
told the leaders Of the various political
parties that the car would give them
plenty OF leeway 10 begin with and ulti-
mately government responsible to par
lament He was mistaken in both prem
ises- Both sides threw him down, and he
quit before he was utterly destroyed so
that he IS now In shape TO come back into
power again as prime minister Had he re-
NAMED In office ne would have been ground
between the two millstUues for he could
not control the czar and the douma had
