A LITTLE MORE ABOUT GEN Moars SUICIDE
have been more than astonished to see how our
newspapers have been clarifying the self sIaugh
Japan's chief military man, and the sef-mUr-
der of General Nogi's aged wife What
pects when American newspapers make a hero Of
person who cut his throat in moment Of insane
and arranged with his gref-stricken wife
that should dsembowel herself at the time

with such suicides, but wild madness possesses
minds OF our literary in this country when they
give utterance to eulogy for General Nogi's self

Why not these ministers of our Lords gospel
