Cupid Becomes Mathematical
and Discovers Shortest Dis
tance Between Two Hearts.
WEALTHY SPANIARD WEDS
PRETTY INSTRUCTRESS
Courtship That Began in the
Classroom Ends at the
Minister'S.
Especial to the Evening starl

BAYONNE, Sept. 5.-Cupid is not
generally an invader of the fields of
mathematics. but occasionally the little
squares, circles. ares, tangents and
sines become descriptive of his bow and
arrow.
This proved the case at least when
Cupid stole into the school-room where
Miss Bessie Mooney, instructress in
geometry had for one of her pupils Al
bert Peralta, wealthy Spaniard. He
is 81 years old and came TO this coun-
try to study modern business methods.
He entered the night school last year
to study the higher mathematics. hav-
ing already obtained a good foundation
while attending the schools in his ma
tive country.
Miss Mooney proved an attractive
teacher for the young man, and. while
his interest at first was devoted to the
squares and straight lines of his
geometrical problems, he soon became
interested in the curves OF the teacher's
pretty lips. and began to solve with
facile brain the problem of finding his
way to her heart.
1t did not prove so difficult of soIu-
tlon as he had anticipated, and soon the
line to il became n straight one. When
Peralta submitted TO the fair teacher
the problem whether she would not be-
come his wife he found her even more
satisfactory in her answer than she
was to his questions in the classroom.
That being so there was nothing 10
prevent the previous parallel lines of
their lives from being diverted so that
they formed junction, and last Thurs
day night, at the meeting OF the Board
of Education, Miss Mooney submitted
her resignation. No reason was given.
THAT same evening teacher and pupil
went to the rectory of the Church of
st. Vincent de Paul and were married
by the Rev. Henry Coyne, the rector.
Peralta will settle down permanently
with his wife in Bayonne. Mrs. Peralta
is a sister of Luke Mooney, superin-
tendent here for the Standard Oil Com
pany.

Further confirmation comes from Prof
e. G. Dexter, who ascertained what the
weather conditions had been in New York
on the days which had seen 2C0O unfor.
Inmates end their own lives in that city.
He reported that the tendency to suicide
was most marked On the clearest, sun
NEST and pleasantest days of these
months. The clear dry days showed the
greatest number of suicides, and the wet
partly cloudy days the least; and with
differences too great to be attributed to
accident or chance The various authori-
ties offer no explanation of these inter-
esting facts, but 1t appears to us that
they may be accounted for by the ele-
mentary principle of contrasts. :.
Instances might be multiplied to illus
trate the effect of sunshine and of gloom
upon the feelings of a man suffering
from suicidal depression, whether purely
melancholio in origin or due to some ply
steal illness, bereavement, or financial
loss. On dull day at least the elements
are in keeping with his feelings.
In such a way may a day of sunshine
give the signal for his premeditated pur-
pose to be performed, and we find some
confirmation for this view from a state
Inent that during wartime suicides are
much less frequent than In peace, and
that other forms of stress have the same
beneficial influence. For instance, in
the three months following the San Fran
cisco earthquake the decrease In the sui
CELEBRATE for that city was 81 per cent 1t
is surely not surprising that the individ-
ual should be able to sink his private
woes in stupendous communal catas-
trophe When a mans neighbor on the
one hand has lost his house and his
neighbor on the other hand has lost his
wife both nv sudden and oyerwhe lminc-
violence should the man himself be con-
templating self-destruction (because. let
us say, he had previously lost his money,
and that by his own fault, he may well
feel like Robinson Crusoe, that after all
he has much to be thankful for, and in
lending a hand with the burying and the
building he may come to see fresh pur-
pose in life and contrive to forego his
miserable intentions"
