Another inatanco occurs showing how
llttlo euro is given to any nnfortunato
person , who is dependent upon the pub
lic. What in ovorybody'u business ia no
ono'a business. In the handling of aov-
oral cases lately it has boon ovldont that
great hardships have befallen worthy
persons , bocinao the responsibility of
caring for them has boon divided among
ao many. The board of health , a city
physician , n county physician , the county
board and the overseer of the peer , all
Boom to share , and no ono seems to know
just whnt part belongs to each to do.
While they are deliberating , or while
ouch is thinking the other haa dona what
was needed , the poor victim Is allowed
to suffer , if not die.
An Inatanco of this ia given in a case of
email-pox ; a man named Lovelace , who
has been taken ill in Strootavlllo. The
family with whom ho waa stopping loft
the house , rather than take the risk of
removal. It Is Bald that the county
physicians , the city physicians , the
board bf health and the overseers of the
poor wore all knowing to the fact and
yet up to yesterday noon it acorns that
no nurse bad boon provided , no fuel or
food supplied , and that the poor man
had boon nlono for thlrtv-nlr hours with
out even the necessaries of life. It Is
almost tlmo that this sort cf barbarism
pnded , and that the authority bo placed
in the hands of aorao ono man , and the
responsibility rest on ono pair of should-
era , eo that the public may know who to
look In cases this kind. Whore ono looks
to another and another loooks back to
that ono , It la Impossible to place the re
sponsibility anywhere , and still the re
sult is onoawhlch disgraces any civilized
community ;

CAUSES OF THE CONTESTS ,
Judge Ayloawortu Starts a. Gaso tc
Oust Judge Ijoofbourow.
Judge Aylosworth returned yostorda ;
from Dos Moines , where ho filed thi
necessary notice of contest for the posl
tlon of judge of the district court , ti
which Judge Loofbourow has been declared
clarod elected by nineteen majority. Thi
grounds on which Judge Ayloswortl :
bases his claim arc several. Ho claim ;
that in Green county the recounting o
the votes , and the tampering with thi
ballot boxes was by unofficial fingers am
In an cfliclal way , which if contested
would give 21 votes in Aylosworth's fa
vor.In Audubon county it i
claimed that there wore throi
votes cast for Judge Ayloswortl
wi.ich the judges put by mistake into th
amondmonc box , and they were no
counted. In Cuss county ouo vote fo ;
Judge Aylesworth was cot counted bo
caiiiuitnad no ioitfnls , end In Mill
county there were ton votes cn.it fo
Aylosworth , which were not counted be
cause ( hey did not state whether for thi
short or long term. All Iheao , it i
claimed , diould bo counted for Aylcs
woith. The general claim is also madi
thi' : in the voting precincts of this clt ;
thorn were move votes for Judge Ayles
worth than were returned.
Judge Loofbourow is entitled to twon

Too Much Smell.
There have been some complaint
lately In regard to the stench arlsini
from Stewart's packing housn. The fol

IN'8E < Vti SACQUES.
A Newly Discovered wangcr in the
Costly Far Garments Now
Worn by
Cincinnati J-'ntjuiror.
The peril which attends the fair possessor
ser of a seal skin sacquo is something horrible
rible to contemplate. This h forcibly
shown in the experience of a young lady
who presented herself in Justice Stilsing's
court in Jersey City the other day. The
young lady wept bitter tears , and exhib
ited a mined sealskin sacquo which had
the general appearance of having been
run over by a street car or used aa ti door
mat.
mat.In addition to this she was lame , and
told of innumerable bruises upon her
body , all the result of an unprovoked and
wholly unaccountable assault made upon
her by n goat , the property of Mrs. King ,
The young lady had called upon the jus
tice to see what could bo done in the way
of collecting damages from Mrs. King for
the ruined sacqne. ,
Damage aside , the question of wearing
snalskln aacqoes now becomes a serious
ono to every solf-rospccting lady. The
complainant in this case was sauntering
quietly along Newark avenue when ,
without a note of warning , she was sud
denly and rudely assaulted by the goat ,
that butted her from the sidewalk and
rolled her over in the mud until her
sacqne was in the dreadful plight in
which she presented it to the eyes of the
court ,
Have goats developed a sudden antip
athy to sealskins or did this goat mistake
the young lady in her fur coat for a hoe-
tile fee of the four- footed kind ? Whether
the ono or the other , wo see no safety
hereafter for the young lady who appears
on the public street in a sealskin. It
givea ua pain to say this , but it ia our
plain duty. Wocould , not sleep nights if
wo failed to point out this now peril
which lies in the beautiful garment. In
all human probability the finer the sacqno
the greater will bo the danger to the
wearer of it , Inasmuch as It will bo the
moro likely to attract the cold , gray eye
of the intrepid and destructive Sir Wil
liam.
If this theory be correct , and-wo have
no reason to doubt it , a goat will run a
n > lle to assault a laay in a $300 sacquo.
The garment worn by 'tho Now Jersey
lady cost only § 150 , and the goat "got
onto it" across the street. This being
the case , what guaranty has a lady In a
sealskin that she will not be "done up"
any moment by the dreadful William
goat ? Absolutely nono. What , then ,
can be done ? Abandon sealskins as an
article of fashionable wear ] It almost
breaks our hearts to suggest i' , and yet
wo can BOO safety for the ladles in noth
ing abort of this. The extermination of
the goat la out of the question. No
protection need bo expected from the
police. Policemen and goata are on
good terms. A few Isolated arrests for
assault and battery would no doubt be
made , but there the matter would end.
It would not , wo presume , bo convenient
for a lady to wear a couple of bricks or a
smootbiug.lron for a bustle , and thereby
furnish the means of swift and terrible
solf-inllictod justice to the aggressive
goat. No , this would hardly do. Nor is
this all , dear ladies , Wo haye studied
the melancholy subject with the greatest
care , and wofail utterly to see any help
for you as long aa you wear sealskin. | ft
An exhibition ia aoon to bo hold in
Copenhagen of articles found in Green
land belonging to the crow of the Ill-fated

The only way these things could have
reached Greenland was by having been

THE CAUSES AND AGES.
In the ranks of the suicides all ages
may bo found , ranging from a boy of 3
to a woman of 00. The causes cover an
equally wide rengo , and in some Instances
are almost grotesque. The number of
chlfdron who have taken their lives /H
extraordinary. The child of 3 drowned
Itaolf because it woe punished. A boy of
17 killed himself because his brother
married ; a boy of 10 because ho was jeal
ous of a girl of 14 ; a boy of 12 because ho
was reprimanded by hla father , and a boy
of 13 because he waa reprimanded by hla
mother. Two fond lovers ono of 13 and
ono of 14 poLsor xl thomselvea
because fate was unkind to thorn.
A boy of 17 took his llfo
because his father would not let
him to go to a skating rink. Two boys
were induced to take their lives by reading -
ing dime novels. A boy of 13 In Chicago
hanged himself in his fathor'a barn be
cause ho was not allowed to go to the
circus. Another boy , who had been
reading dime novels , killed ono of his as
sociates and then shot himself. A boy
of 1C jumped from a window and killed
himself because his employer threatened
to whip him. A boy of 1G , who had
eloped with a girl of 14 , hanged himself
a few days afterwards. Two lovers of 15
who could not bo separated , took poison
together , and a boy of 10 , jealous of hla
mintress of 14 , killed himself and her. A
boy of 1G went out and hanged himself
because hla father struck him. A boy of
18 , disappointed In love , tied himself tea
a wheat stack , sot the stack on fire ,
and waa buraed to death. A girl
of 1 ( > shot herself bcoattao her mother
would not let her many a man of 50. A
irl of 14 hanged herself becauae of. iua-
ility to keep up with her class. A woman
of 00 , in Ohio , hanged herself because she
was a pauper and tiled of life ; a man of
80 because hia daughter eloped ; a woman
of 70 held her head in a pail of water
bectiuso she t > as hopeless : and a nmn and
wife , nearly 80 years of ago , hanged them
selves to bedposts because they were poor.
A pchool teacher in Kansas killed herself
in Kansas because she failed in her duties.
Two beautiful citl in Chattanooga , Tciin. ,
ono 17 and the other 1 ! ) years of age ,
h.iitgcd themselves. The elder \\as ilisap-
pointed in love , mid hanged herself f om
the center of the ceiling of her room by a
shoot , and the younger out of sympathy
hanged herself at the enmo time from a
tree in the orchard. A father hanged
himself bocauao his son failed in business ,
and an undertaker nhot himself because
business was dull. A wife shot herself
ht the grave of her husband , and a jndgo
in Kentucky killed himself because no
could not conscientiously fight a duel , A
father and son quarreled over the divis
ion of the farming stock and the farraor
killed himself. A woman poisoned her
self because her husband killed her pug-
dog , and a man ehot himself because ho
had accidentally killed a neighbor's mulo.
A man , tortured by the ghost ot hla vie-
tlm , whom ho had slain In solf-dofonsn ,
shot himself , nnd another man
put his throat because hia wife
would not allow him to punish their
child. A blind man who had killed a
cripple , both of them beggars , drowned
himself nnd a fanner who was afraid ho
\\oiild not have money enough to pay his
taxes poisoned himself. There were thrcu
cases of suicide growing out of the election
a woman in Maryland because she was
afraid her husband would lose his olllco by
Cleveland's election , a negro in Georgia
who feared ho would bo reslavod. an Iowa
fanner' chairman of a republican town
ship committee , because of Blnino's de
feat. Grief at the death of husband and
wife , losses at cards , ovorstudy , religious
excitement , fear of starvation , and insan
ity produced by scandals caused the death
of several scores of persons.
FIIEEZINO PIPES.
What a Plumber Hnya on the Subject
or Frozen "Wntcr-i'lpcs.
Washington Stir.
"Wo have boon kept on the run over
since the real ccld weather not in , " oaid a
prominent plumber to a Star reporter.
Complaints como in from all parts of the
city of burstod water-pipes , and there is
no rest for the plumber until everything
is in working order again.Then when
our bill comes in they qroan , but it can't '
bo helped. It IB an expensive thing to
burst wator-pipea. and usually wo have
but llttlo trouble about the bills. "
"How do the plpoa como to freeze up ? "
atkod the reporter.
"By exposure to the cold , of course'a
replied the plumber. "Vory few houses
hero are built for very cold weather , any
when it comes there la but liltlo preven
tion against it. Then , too , in mand
houses there are no furnaces , and all heat
is from latrobes. This loaves the halls
cold , and , of course , the bathroom and
the waterpipes In the addition parts of
the hpuso are left unprotected. The
water it frozen and the pipes burst. "
"How can it bo prevented ? "
"Iherc are dilfbicnt ways of doing
this , " was the reply. "Tho vicinty of the
pipes can bo kept warm , and then it will
bo impossible for the water to freeze.
1 hen \ho water may bo turned off from
the pipes and the water remaining in run
out at the faucets. But the trouble is
that people remember to turn off the
water but forget to lot it run from the
faucets , and they might just as well have
forgotten all about thq pipes. Then they
generally forget to empty the .boiler , and
that makes the worst and most expensive
burst of all. A very good plan but con
trary to the water regulations , is to turn
the faucets so tliat Iho water will flow
drop by drop , and thus keep up a move
ment. It is not necessary to turn it on in
any sense of that word. A dropping is all
that is needed to prevent freezing. "
"It is so easy so prevent freezing I
shouldn't think there woiild be many burst
pipes , " observed the listener.
"One would not suppose so , either , "
replied the philosophic plumber , ' 'but
people forget and people lack common
sense perhaps the latter more than the
former. Then , again , it is only when the
temperature gets down about zero that
there Is any serious trouble with the water
pipes. But when it gets down in that
neighborhood everything freezes up tight ,
People living in this latitude are not ac
customed to such extremes. I believe
that last winter wo had no such real cold
weather as we have had in the past few
days. "
