A CLERGYMAN'9 StTICIDK.
He Jumps From a Fourth Story Win
dow of a Hospital.
Philadelphia. May 31.?Rev. Dr. William L.
Gage, who committed filicide by jump
ing from a fourth-story window of
the Orthopedic hospital this morning,
left his home in Hartford, Conn.,
on Thursday. May 9. and came to this city with
the intention of entering the Orthopedic. His
son-in-law. Bev. F. 8. Hatch, of Munson.
Mass., accompanied him, and they stayed for
a day at the house of Mr. Horace O. Kimball,
159 north 15th street, who on the following day
went with him to the hospital and introduced
him to the superintendent.
Melancholia was the predominant feature in
Dr. Gage's ailment, and several times he had
observed to his friends: "What if I should go
mad and kill myself?" This and
similar remarks were repeated to the
hospital authorities at the time of his admis
sion, and it is said he expressed the same fear
of himself while an inmate of the institution.
A few minutes before 7 o'clock this morning
Nurse Wylie, one of the three located on the
fourth floor, stopped in Dr. Gage's room and
found him finishing his toilet.
A few pleasant remarks passed between them
and then the nurse left the doctor. Ten min
utes afterward Milkman Hallis, who supplies
the institution, drove up to the door and saw
him lying unconscious on the pavement. The
milkmun nastily informed the hospital authori
ties of the fact, and with assistance of a porter
and Charles Clay carried the unfortunate gen
tleman inside.
He never spoke, but lay insensible until his
death at 9 o'clock. He leaves a widow in Hart
ford and a daughter. Mrs. Hatch, in Mnnson.

THE SAMOA* TREATY.
What Is Said at the State Department
About the Berlin Conference.
State department official* absolutely decline
to disc0*8 the Samoan conference or the Bear
ing sea tangle. Of the former, they admit that
matter* are in guch shape a* to warrant
the expectation of a speedy conclusion
of the conference, comparatively unimportant
detail* only remaining to be adjusted. But
npon the provision* of the treaty, if a treaty
ha* yet been drawn, they refnse to talk,
further than to any that the public must
receive its information respecting treaties
in the usual course, namely, after the action
of the United .State* Senate, to which body all
treaties must be submitted for approval before
they become operative. The obviona reason
for this course lies in the fact
that Important amendments are often made
by the Senate, after treaties have been ar
ranged by the diplomatic officer* of the treaty
power*. '80 radical are these change* in fact
that they l ave caused the failure of pending
treaties, a notable instance occurring in the
last Congress.

When a Man Fall* Overboard from One
of Uncle Sam's Vessels.
From the Chicago Times.
"Suppose," a landsman said, a "sailing ship
is bowling along in a stiff breeze and a man
falls overboard. How do you stop the ship to
get tho man if the wind keeps on blowing?"
"I don't know how a merchant captain would
I go about it," replied the mariner, "but I can
tell you how they heave to on a man-of-war.
Say, for instance, a man falls overboard from
the forecastle. One of his mates sings out to
the officer of the deck, who is aft, 'Man over
board!' "
" 'Who is it?"
" 'Watkins.'
" 'Send for the ship's clerk and get Watkins'
rate and number,' is the next command from
the officer.
??The clerk appears with tho watch-book,
from which it appears that Watkins is able
seaman number 37, coxswain of the fourth
cutter, and belongs to the maintop starboard
watch.
'? 'Orderly,' says the officer to tho marine on
guard at the cabin door, 'see if the captain is
111 his room.'
'? 'He is, sor,' say* the orderly, after a care
ful investigation of the premises.
" 'Then tell him his presence on deck is re
quired immediately.
"The captain steps out on deck with a sword
in one hand and a trumpet in the other and
looks straight ahead. Then the orderly tells
the officer of the deck that the captain is on
deck. The officer comes off the bridge, steps
up beside the captain and then takes a walk
around the block. That is, he starts off and
turns four square corners, fetching up in his
original tracks alongside the captain. He then
touches his cap, slaps himself on the leg and
say*:
"Captain, it now devolves upon me as officer
of the deck to inform you that Richard Wat
kins. aged forty, single, with red whiskers,
able seaman No. 37, coxswain of the fourth
cutter and assistant quarter-gunner and diver,
a member of tho maintop mess, starboard
watch and who shipped in Vallejy, Cal., Sep
tember 23, 18?, on a continual service certifi
cate, has fallen overboard."
"'When?' asks the captain.
" 'To-day, sir.'
" 'Spill and back the maintopsail," yells the
captain through his trumpet. 'Let go and
haul over the head sheets! Hard down with
the wheel?lively with it, there! Lay aft the
life-boat's crew and man your falls!'
"By the time the life-boat is cleared away
the siiip is hove to with her sails flapping and
a hunt is made for Watkins. But he is
seven miles or so astern and before the
boat reaches him he succumbs to exhaustion
or sharks."
"Poor fellow," sighed tho old man at the
conclusion of this story. "It is indeed a thrill
ing experience and I would like to talk with a
man who had fallen overboard."
"You'll have to consult a medium then," was
all the sailor said.

could at the irregular country school* he
bought and borrowed the books used in fitting

friends to loan him money enough to go to the
Harvard law school. But since he could find
no one who would loan him a considerable sum

A Telegraph Suit for $50,000,
The trial of the suit of the Interstate teto- !
graph company against the Baltimore and Ohio
telegraph company has been begun in the
United States circuit court in Balti
more before Judges Bond and Mor
ris. The amount of damages claimed |
is ??='50.000. In 1885 the Baltimore and Ohio
telegraph company entered into an agree
ment with the Interstate company that, if the
lutter would build a line from De
troit, Mich., to Avilla, Ind., and Fostoria,
111., it would exchange business with tho
Interstate company, each company to give
to the other all business coming to its
office for points on the line of the
other not reached by its own lines. The Balti
more and Ohio telegraph company
agreed that in case it should at any time sell
or transfer its lines to any other company,
it would make proper provision for the
interstate company. The delaration of the
interstate company states that about October.
1887, the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph com- I
panv did transfer its lines to the Western
Union without making such provision. This
failure to keeps its contract rendered the lines
of the interstate company, which cost 4*40.000,
practically worthier
THE GIItL OF THE PERIOD.
She Disdains Even the Trouble of
Teaching Her Grandmother.
From the London Queen.
The girl of seventeen, whoso ideal of music
is "Dorothy" and who can just strum through
'Tho Queen of My Heart" and the last new
waltz or polka, finds Chopin and Mendelssohn
deadly dull and old-fashioned when played by
one of the older generation. She has been to
a school of art and can make an indifferent
sketch in chalks of a plaster of paris hand or
foot, so thinks she can afford to look down on
the somewhat over-smooth and over-colored,
but pretty and artistic water colors of twenty
years ago. She has been to a banjo class, to
an ambulance class, to a cooking class, and
though the wounded or the hungry would come
off very badly if they depended on her efforts,
she has at least learned enough to be able to
lay down the law to her relations. She has
also "gone in for" somo branches of art or
science, of which she supposes her mother and
aunts barely know the names.
Then as to amusements. Croquet, according
to her, was a game only fit for the inmates of a
lunatic asylum. Sho ridicules any of the games
that made pleasant evenings twenty years ago;
it is not that she does not care for them, and
says so, but she condemns them as absurd, im
possible. the offspring of a diseased brain! She
is. as was said of Lord Macauley. "cock sure of
everything," and of nothing more than of the
superiority of the young over the old.
It is something to be thankful for that we
have not reached the standard of manners |
which still prevails in some ports of Australia,
Polynesia, and Africa, where the absence of
old'people was noticed by some inquiring trav
eler, aud he was informed that as soon as they
arrived at decrepitudo they were painlessly
killed and found a ready tomb in the maws of
the younger members of the tribes.
- The Average Man Disappointing.
From the Philadelphia Sunday School Times.
A common method of planning for a desired
result in the sphere of benevolent endeavor is
based on averages. If a certain amount of
money is to be raised in a church or in a Sun
day school or in a community, it is very easy
to see that an average of so much to each mem
ber will secure all that is desired. If a cer
tain work is to be done which involves a speci
fied number of workers, it is obvious that an
average of so many workers to a given field
will be ample for the necssities of the case.
This simple sum in arithmetic is very often ac
cepted as the warrant for a hope of results
that would gladden the hearts of multitudes;
but unfortunately the issue is ordinarily very
far short of tho expectation. Tho reason of
the failure is, that the average man never does
his duty. It is always the extraordinary man
that accomplishes anything in this world. Not
the extraordinarily rich man nor the extraordi
narily able man. nor the extraordinarily good
man, but tho extraordinarily faithful man is
the man who finally counts for a good result in
any undertaking in life. This truth is an im
Sortant one witn its practical bearings on the
uty of all those who would gain help from
others or give help to others. If you are plan
ning to raise a certain sum of money or to se
cure a certain number of helpers, the first
thing for you to think of is; who are the ex
traordinary persons to whom I can turn at this
juncture? If. on the other hand, a call is made
on you for aid in an emergency, your question
ought not to be, What is my duty as an average
helper just now? but, What is my duty as an
extraordinary helper? A good average is a poor
attainment. He who is not above the average
is beiow his own fair level.
Boston Standing Pride.
Letter to the New Orleans Picayune.
Beans can not reasonably be complained of so
far as their cost ^s concerned, since an 8-cent
quart of them?swelled by cooking to five or
six quarts in bulk?will furnish a satisfying
meal for nine persons. Besides, they are ex
ceedingly nutrition and most toothsome as well
wheh booked by the Boston method. For some
reason one never finds them so well prepared
for the table in other cities, unless from Boston'
cans. It is because they are so cheap that they
are consumed in such enormous quantities in
the manufacturing towns hereabouts by the
laboring classes. To this is partly to be re
ferred the fact that one-half the entire bean
crop of the United States is eaten in Boston
and its neighborhood. Nevertheless the bean

Medieal Ethics.
From the American Cultivator.
Some years since, in a certain town 'out
west," it became necessary in a surgical case
that an amputation of a limb should be made.
The 'Tegular doctors in the country nowaday*
are great sticklers for the observance of the
code of ethics, and this code discountenance*
advertising in all its forms. All the same, the
surgeon m the smaller places rarely performs
even the most trivial operation without acci
dentally dropping a word or two in the hearing
of the local reporter, and should the paper
chance to say that "Tom Jones fooled with a
buzz saw, Dr. I'ilbox drottod the wouud. and
Lane is doing as well as could be expected un
der the doctor's skillful treatment," why of
course, the doctor can't help that. He is very
much annOved, to be sure, but the thing i*
done. At the amputation above mentioned
were present Drs. A, B, C. and D. and the en
terprising newsgatherer for the Heekly lhutier
[ found the operation a veritable bonanza for his
paper, and wrote it up in great style. Unfor
tunately he omitted tho name of old Dr D
from his account, and the old doctor, upon
meeting him a few days later, "turned him
over in great shape for his alle*ged discourtesy
The newspaper man made every apology and
promised faithfully to make amends in the
Hustler of the weekf following, and this is tho
way in which he dr j t: "In our account of the
amputation in last week's issue we inadvert
ently omitted the name of Dr. D. We have
since been informed that the doctor was one of
the leading surgeons in the case and assisted
very materially in the operation. The patient
died last night at 8 o'clock."
A Strictly Judicial Answer.
From the Lewis ton Journal.
One of the best stories of white-haired,
white-chokered, courteous Calvin Record is
about a mellow old lawyer who used to lire on
the banks of the Androscoggin. The squire
was given to deep potations, and was famous
for his fine distinctions. It is said that in
special pleading he could split a hair even
more closely than Mr. Record can himself.
But often after the shades of night had fallen
the squire might have been seen struggling
home, so boozy that ho apparently could nut
split a shingle, to say nothing of a hair
One night when he was drunker than usual
he staggered completely out of his course and
could not find it Re alizing that he was lost
and drifting into unfamiliar regions, he called
at a house to ask for information.
"Madame," he gravely said to the lady who
came to the door, candle in hand. "Can vou
tell (hie) me where Squire livesV"
"Certainly," she said, and gave him full di
! rections.

Sow for one simple stew. one called in the

?wilt and pepper to taste. a little flour, and
water enough to cover. Wipe the meat, cut it
into small piece*.removing any bit* of crumbly

to serve, skim out the meat and potatoes upon
a hot platter, thicken the gravy if you thitik it

HOW TO IU V A HOME.
Economy of Purchasing n House
Through a Luan Association.
W. A. Linn in June Bcribnefs.
It is quite easy to show by figure* the
economy of buyiug one's house with the assist
ance of a building and loan association as com
pared with paying rent. The following state
ment is only given as a form of comparison)
every prospective borrower can change the
figures to suit his own locality.
C and I) occupy houses worth ?3,000 each
(lot i000 and building ?2.400). C is a tenant,
paying ?25 per month. i>. with 9600 in cash,
has borrowed ?2,400 oil twelve shares of a
building and loan association and built hi*
house. Supposing that D's shares mature in
twelve years, their account* at the end of that
]>eriod will staud thus:
C has paid out ?3.000 in rent, and ha* nothing
to show for it.
D has paid out:
Monthly due* $1.7iH
Int. rest 1.7*8
Premium. 5 per cent.. 120
Search 60
Taxes 2fl0
Insurance 100
Interest on value of lot 432
Total ..4.418
The neighborhood must be a very inactive
one where the increased value of the property
will not more than offset the cost of repair*.
We find. then, that D owns his premises by
paying out onlv ?818 more than C, who, at the
end of the period named, ha* nothing to show
for his money.
