TJio Kirn Alarm System.
There had got to bo a pretty well
settled notion that the Richmond lire
ilarm was to be adonted by this city , the
n-k'e having been about lixcd upon , ami
t was conceded to be u low one. The
Tiends of the Camewell system seem do-
: ermined not to allow this , and they have
teen strongly urging that the ( Jamcwcll
s the one used in all largo cities , and Unit
I is the standard one. On the other hand
.he friends of the Richmond .sy.stem de
clare that it is . } ut as good , if not so old ,
and that in price it is much cheaper. It
seems that both systems are excellent and
that the city cannot get far out of the
n adopting either under the guar-
nteo given bv eaeh. The promise i.s
'
made , however' , that owing to the aimi-ly
nf eaeh to have Council Bluffs aitopt its
system , the city will get special prices
which will cause the putting in lir.ro of
a good system at a much less cost than
most cities are required to pay. It is to
be hoped that such will be the result of
thu sharp competition hetvreou these two
systems. _ _

A ROMANCE FROM COREA.
An A c l Bachelor Tells Wliy ho 11 nil
Never Married.
Letter in London Times : For parents
and near kinsfolk it is customary Ina
Coren to mourn three years. What a
deep Intlurneo this prescriptive usage has
upon the life of the people is illustrated
by the folio wing story of imaged bachelor
who was asked why no had never taken
a wifo. "My parents as well as
myself , " he said , ' 'were desirous
that 1 should marry , and a
suitable young lady being found
our betrothal took place. 'I hen m.v fu
ture father-in-law died , and wo hud , uof

San Kranciseo Post : Senator Hearst
may not have the personal graces of u
Brmnmel or the oratorical gifts of a Ci
cero , but the ton of his henil i.s devoid of
undulations. ' 1 he seiritor Is not mean :
on the contrary , he is generous with his
money , but he is not in the habit of re
leasing his grip on a dollar until he
knows \ \ here it is going. For Instance :
"Please , sir , win yon assist a poor man
who is out of work and has u lainily do-
pcndin' on him ? "
'fhis inquiry was made by a fellow who
arted out of a dark doorway near the
ienator's newspaper ollieo one'evening
ast winter.
Tin1 senator turned a watery o.ve on the
eggar , saw his unshaven mug , his
habby raiment , and unwashed , shaky
anils.
"So you've got a family , have you ?
Yhorc d'ye live ? "
"Itonnu on Paeifi'j ' street , sir. "
" ( ! o ahead , and take me there. If you
in'l ly'n' ' , I'll do the square thing ,
wrdncr. "
The man had a family , sure enough.
le showed the senator into a foul room
in the third story of a rookery. There
ivoro three children , a decent-looking
ivoman , and a sewing machine. The
kvoman wept when questioned. They
ivero very poor and often hungry. Ail
heir troubles came from the drunkenness
of the husband. That culprit sullenly
owned to the truth of this statement.
"AH right , " said Unelo ( Jeorge , rising.
He gave thu woman a sum of money
.hat made her speechless.
"Conic along with me , " said Hearst to
.he husband , who obeyed with alacrity.
At the next corner the senator turned
: liii ama/.ed man over to a. policeman.
"Book this fellow for vagrancy , " said
In-philanthropist. "I'll swear against
lim to-morrow. He's been striking mo
for a piece. "
"Now , you , " said Uncle ( Jcorge next
lay when hu had secured a sentence of
three months for the loafer , "if you've u
nind to be decent when you jret out ,
come to me and I'll give you a show. "
And the man. three months later did
come. Uncle ( Jeorgo sent him and his
family to ono of his ranches , where , to
do the fellow justice , ho has avoided the
bottle and behaved himself.
"I ain't onposed to drinkin' , " the sena
tor is given to remarking. "If a man

NERVOUS TRAVELERS. -
Tlio Fears of 1'coplo Who Have Sul-
fcrcd in Ilnilroad Accidents.
Yesterday afternoon , says the Atlanta
Constitution , several gentlemen in the
department of agriculture at the capitol
were discussing railroad accidents.
Commissioner Henderson , who knows
: ow to toll a good story , remarked Unit
those who had suffered in railroad acci
dents were never able to rid themselves
of the apprehension that they would
suffer again.
"The other day , " he said , "I took the
fast train on the Georgia railroad for
Augusta. After we passed Deeatur the
speed was at thu rate of Ihirtj'-fivc miles
an hour. 1 noticed a man in a scat in
front of mo who was plainly disturbed
about something , lie would look out of
the window a moment , and then ho would
clutch the arm of his seat as if fearing
that he would fall out. This performance
was repeated so often , that 1 began to
think the man was sick. Finally , how
ever , I decided ho must have been , .U
sometime a sufferer in a railroad acci
dent. About that time I arrived at this
decision he left his seat and walked back
and sat down by mo.
" 'Look here , ' he said , 'don't you think ,
the engineer of this train is running
wildly1
"Why ? " ] inquired.
"Well , because ho is running so rapIdly -
Idly , .lust look at this ear. It rocks
like a cradle. I believe the engineer is
drunk.
"Then the man became very mucii excited -
cited , Ho jumped up and said :
"The engineer is drunk , snro's as
yon'ro born. It ought to be looked into
at once , and somebody else should be
placed m charge of the oncino. "
"Why , my friend , " said 1 , "the train is
ruining at it usual rate of speed , and
them is no occasion for alarm. "
MWhut is the usual rate of speed ? " ho
'Thirty-live ' miles an hour. "
"My reply seemed to quiet him , and he
sat down and began to road a news
paper. Satisfied that ho had suffered in
a railroad accident , i said to him :
" 'You must have been in a railroad
accident some time ago.1
--Vo.i . , , ; 2 J'telrt. ' ° replied. 1 was.
Two yeai'ri ag'o 1 v-ns on n mull VJJ'iji
ran off the traok and tumbled down an
imbankment , nnd 1 have never slnco
taken a railroad journey with any kind
of ease.111
Col. Mark Harden was prnsont nnd
while Judge Henderson was tolling his
story ho was observed to rub himself in
divers places. At the conclusion of the
glory ho saldi
, ,
"T caij. ffvmpatlii/.o with that fellow.
Yon kno\Y 1vns h " accident on the
Piedmont some time ago , The stopper
1 was in jumped the track and tumbled
down an'enibankmcnt. nnd I was badly
hurt. Well , I never thought my unfor
tunate oxpcrionenco would prevent my
future railroad jorneys , but 1 was mis
taken.
"A few days ago T took a train on the
Western & Atlantic railroad , intending
to go homo. 1 felt no apprehension tin-
till well out of Atlanta , and then I found
that I grow more and moro uneasy as the
syeo ofthu train increased , I stood the
worry until the tr.iin reached Baltan , six
miles from Atlanta , and then I got out
and returned to the city- "
Another member of the pany related
an incident which came under his notice
last Sunday.
"I was on mv way to Chattanooga,11 1
said , "by the fcnst Tennessee , Virginia &
( ieorgla railroad. On the train was a
young follow from New York who was
traveling through the south for thu fun ifL
the thing. About seven miles from Chattanooga L-
Lu
tanooga a tunnel -caved in some time
ago , necesbitatingvan arrangement with
the Western & Atlantio railroad by
which the trains of the KastTennohco ,
Virginia & Georgia railroad switch oil
upon the track ofthe former to get into
the city. Fifteen minutes are given in
which to rune seven miles. It the
train is slightly behind time the run Is a
lively one. That was the case Sunday.
The train rushed toward Chattanooga ut
aternlle rate of sneed , causing the cars
to rock nbout unpleasantly. The young
fellow from Now York turned as whitens
a sheet. Ho throw his arms over thu buo k
of tlio' scut in front of him , anil field ou
for dear life. When the train rolled into
the denot ntCltnltan < ios.M he was tfoinur
" ' " 'Mint's the matter ) ? ! asked.
" 'I was in u railroad accident once , '
he replied , 'antl haVtj ; Hjfcver since been

ROYAL SUtcfDES.
.Monai-clm Who VoTitni'itrlly heft Thin
Knrilily .SpliiM-e.
Now York World : There have been
comparatively fi-w In-tanees of suicide
among tlnv o'eriipanls of the thrones of
minium limes. The mo-t recent ease
was that of Abdul Ax.i/
Svltan of Turkey , who killed him
self in .Jirne , 18To , by oiontng ] the veins
of his arm with a pair of eissors. Ins
Mibjects had ivhelh'd ngninst him , and
tineoniieil of ministers " had determined
to remove him and aiipmnt his nuphew
Alurad as sultan in his stead.
In IMitf , Theodore , nnperor of Abys-
Miiin. is said by some authorities to have
shot himself , while others assert that hu
was killed in battle by the British in
vaders.
On October 8 , 1820 , Henry Chrlstopho ,
king of Haytl , In order to prevent himself
being taken prisoner bv the insurgents ,
who had gained ascendency in the island ,
shot himself through the heart.
Charles VI , king of France , probably
inherited a tain ! of insanity from .his fa-
ther. and the lattorpart of hi" life was
embittered by monomania , imiiilfu.-tinji
itself in the apprehension that Ins chil
dren had conspired to poison him. Under
this apprehension he refused food for
seven days , and died of starvation near
Boiirges on July SJ2 , HU1.
Concerning the death of Hiehard II. ,
king ot Kngiand , there were at the time
various uonllictini ! reports , and there has
continued to be a ilill'ereiice of opinion
amonir historians. Walsingham , Otter-
bourn and Peter ofBlois say that he also
.starved himself to death. ' 1 here is a cer
tain parallel between the case of Pochard
II. and that of Ludwig II. Both were
weak cliaraeters ; both wcro deposed in
behalf of stronger aspirants to power ;
both were shut up in a castle for safe
keeping , and both were reported to have
committed .suicide. In the case ot the
English king , however , the weight of the
evidence perhaps tavors the heory that
some interested persons assisted in his
taking off.
Among the ancients it appears Unit
suicide was rather a popular form of
death. Many of the philosophers advo
cated it ns an honorable and convenient
method of ending existence , and gave a
certain tierlincneo to their teaching bv
putting it in practice themselves.
Among the long list of rulers of an
tiquity who died by their own hand are
Nero , Cleopatra. Dido , Boadicca , queen
of the Icom in Britain ; Otho , of Kome ;
Ptolemy , of Cyprvs ; Mithridatcs , of Pon-
tns ; Said , of Israel ; Hameses the Great.
and Sardanapalus.of Assvria , who burned
himself in his palace with his wives.
His licit-ship.
Chicago Herald : A singular will case
has just been decided Louisiana in a
way which will give great .satisfaction to
the public , whether it is'in accordance
with the law and precedent or not. Some
years ago a notorious woman named
T ownsend , who h-ul accumulated a vast
fortune in New Orleans/ was murdered
bv her paramour , a fellow named Sykes.
The crime was | a ' brutal ono ,
but the intirderen was not se
verely punished. Soon after the woman's
deatli it was discorered that she had
made a will , by the 'Wins of which her
murderer had becomoMief'sole heir. The
outcry against the execution of this in
strument was so greai , that the attorney
general proceeded to contest it , and so
well has ho conducted the case that the
supreme court liasdeclded in favor of the
state , cutting oll'Sykc's ns an ingrate and
awarding all of the woman's property to
the commonwealth , she having no known
relatives.
A similar ease is pending in New York
state , where n man who murdered
another lias been found to bo chosen heir
of liis victim. Whatever may bo donn
with the money in such cases , the eternal
fitness of things can be observed only by
denying to murderers and their relatives
any benefits derived by icason of crime.
