SUICIDE NUT ORDINARILY
JUSTIFIABLE.
The epidemic of snicide which
marked the exit of the old and the
entrance of the new year with
such a melancholy aspect has once
again aroused the discussion as to
whether, after all, self-destruction
is justifiable] under any circum-
stances. Of course theie are two
sides of this argument which are
as old as classical history. It is
asserted that man, having been
endowed with life through no
agency of his own, not acquiring
it as a proprietary possession to
do with as he pleases, has no
right to destroy it. A man is
under obligation to the rest of bis
kind to do the best that he can,
and to give up the fight in the
presence of danger that is more
frequently imaginary than real
appears^ to t* the weaker part.
No great bRttle wrs ever won by r
despairing army and no great and
redoubtable obstacle overoome by
timidity and irresolution. All
human (experience has proved,
and is proving every day, that
what to our dim perception ap
pears the time of deepest distress
is but, in reslity. the threshold to
SRtiBfRCtory Rohievement and con-
solation. Ilad Robert Brace,
alone and apparently worsted,
given way to counsels of doubt
and fear, Bannockburn would
never have found a place in histo
ry. Harf Grant in the midat of
defeat at Shiloh, or Pittsburg
landing, sent a bullet through his
brain, Appomattox might have
been a remote or evanescent pos-
sibility. Had Washington, los-
ing heart at Valley Forge, ended
his life, perhaps the war of inde-
pendence would have had quite
a different termination. Things
have been so ordered in the divine
scheme of the universe that for
every moment of sorrow snd dis
tiess there is abundant margin for
oompeosation. Frequently our
save est trials are but blessings in
disgaise, teaching albeit a sad,
hard lesson but one that can not
ba learned in any other school
aad forcibly impressing upon us
the proper appreciation of the
many good and beautiful things In
the world with which our liven
have been refreshed aad strength
ened. What matters it if todaj
we fallf There are tomorrows
without number and each bold*
the opportunity which today may
Mam forever lost. Patience am
courage are the two qualities t<
[ aneeess in every department o'
and they have never yet failed.
II Is conceivable that a man'-

The Baltimore Sun is right
when it says there ia the strong-
est desire on the part of conserve
tive democrats to see the rep> bli-
can party mRke the best nse of its
victory end apply it foi the Dene-
fit of the whole people, although
its past record naturally suggests
to many no little distrust upon
the subject. There seems to be a
desire on the part of some repnb-
lican leaders to give a strictly
partisan interpretation to the
popular verdict rendered two
months ago. The ruling passion
is hard to repress, but it will be
well for republicans to linten to
the voice of prudence. Our hap-
piness as a nation during the new
year that has just begun is, so far
as political action can make or
mar it, in thrj keeping of Presi-
dent-elect McKinley, and bis
party. It is great and solemn
trust. To minister to the welfare
and preserve the peace of 70,000,-
000 of people are obligations that
may justly carry a tremendous
sense of responsibility to the
statesmen upon whom they rest.
Such obligations can only be ade
quately met in the broad spirit
that seeks the good of the country
first and regards the advantage of
the party as a secondary consider-
ation."

Fine Weather Calendar.
The Hesperian has received a
Cardinal Weather Chart and Cal-
endar from 1897 for the Chatta-
nooga Medicine Co., manufactur-
ers of McElree'e Wine of Cardni
and Thedford's Black-Draught.
This is one of the best calendars
ever published. It consists of
twelve sheets of paper, 13x20
inches in size, all fastened togeth-
er with a gilt tin strip and a brass
loop hanger. Each sheet con-
tains the calendar for one month
in large figures that can be read
across the room. Under the fig
ares patent weather signals indi-
cating Prof. DeVoea wsather fore
casts for every day in the year
appear. The moon's changes and
legal holidays are also shown.
The calendar is valuable in any
home. We understand a few
copies of it can be secured by
sending 10 once-cent stamps to

_ A rSilway play of high order of
merit, presenting the strongest
realistic scenic effects of any
drama of its kind, will be the next
attraction.
Miss Carrie Lamont is receiving
great praise this season for her
clever work as Bessie and Foxey,
the dual role formerly assumed by
Miss Bindley. She is well sup-
ported by a well balanced compa
ny. The scenery is entirely new
and the mechanical effects are
cleverly manipulated. Pleasing
specialties are introduced.
The Y. ri C. A.
At 4 o'clock on Sunday after-
noon an immense crowd assem-
bled at the Baptist church to at-
tend the annual meeting of the
Y. M. C. A An interesting pro-
gram was submitted and the re-
ports of the secretary and treas-
urer read. Secretary Wilson's re-
>ort was complete in every sense
and stowed exactly the standing
of the institution. The Hesperi-
an will print the report in full to-
morrow.
The treasurer's report showed
labilities to the amount of $439.86,
with $200 unpaid subscriptions,
leaving a total indebtedness of
$239.80. At the close of 1895 the
total indebtedness was $800. Dur-
ing the year 1896 there w.is col-
lected on membership fees $424.50,
and on subscriptions $9i0.50, a
total of $1405, but that amount
was swallowed up by the expenses
of the institution.
Immediately after the reports
were read the following board of
directors was elected to serve the
coming year: J. M. Lindsay,
C. Potter, J. M. Bass, H.
Eldridge, White Darnall, W.

President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio,
is highly respected all through that
section. He has lived in Clinton Co.
75 years, and has been president of
the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly
testifies to the merit of Hood's Sarsa-
parilla, and what he says is worthy
attention. All brain workers find
Hood's Sarsaparilla ]>cculiarly adapted
to their needs. It makes pure, rich,
red blood, and from this comes nerve,
mental, bodily and digestive strength.
" I am (lad to hj that Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla is a very good medicine, especially
as a blood purifier. It has done me good
many time*. For several years I suffered
greatly with pains of

pecially at night when I had been having
a hard day of physical and mental labor.
I took many remedies, bat foand help only

Wednesday.
What pleasant thoughts the
name of Eddie Foy bring to mind
How mnch pleasure has he giveD
in the past as the leading fun
maker of Da'vid Henderson^
many successes! This is his firsl
appearance in Gainesville.
For the past three years Mr
Foy has been the star of his own
company in an extravaganza
called ''Off the Earth" and haf
made a distinct hit in every city
visited, gradually but permanent
ly improving the manuscript and
the score until today it is called
the greatest of all spectacular
comedies.
The plRy needs no introduction
to onr people, but Recording to nil
reports the company engaged by
Manager Dunne is the best Mr.
Foy has ever been connected
with.
Eadie Foy is the prince of good
fellows and fun-makers, and "Off
'be Earth" gives Mr. Foy the
greRtest possible opportunity to
display his wonderful Rnd vers*
tile telents Rnd those thRt have
made him sirh a favorite with all
classes and kinds of people.
In addition to the work of Mr.
Foy, just think of the comedy tal
eat displayed by onr favorite

good work of Adele Far ring ton,
and the forty or fifty others who

Stevenson's 1'ity.
One of the sides of Robert Louis Ste-
venson's character ia thus lightly touch
ed in Critical Kit-Ka;s, by hia friend
Mr. Edmund Gosse:
Stevenson's pity was of a very mark
ed quality, and it extended to beggars.
His optimism, however, suffered a rude
shock in South Audley street one sum-
mer afternoon. We met a stalwart beg-
gar, whom I refused to aid. Louis, how-
ever, wavered, and finally handed him
a sixpence.
The man pocketed the coin, forbore
to thank his benefactor, but fixing his
eye on me said in a loud voice, "And
what ia the other little gentleman go-
ing to give me?"
"In future,"said Louis, as wo Btrode
coldly on, "I shall be 'the other little
gentleman.' "

No little trouble and a number ol
wars have been caused by the claims o!
embassadors for precedence over each
other according to the rank of the states
which they represented, the embassadoi
of an emperor claiming to precede the
embassador of a king and the embassa-
dor of a strong state endeavoring to take
precedence over the embassador of a
petty monarchy. In general there diffi-
culties were excited by the extreme te-
nacity shown by officials representing
the sovereigns in upholding the rank
and dignity of their respective man-
archs.

The usual source of pearls found
within the oyster appears to be the in-
trusion of some small foreign body
which sets up an irritation of cuticle.
The only means of defense open to the
molluak is to deposit a layer of nacre
around the irritating particle and thus
cut it off from the soft, tender akin. A
grain of sand or a small crustacean may
slip in between the lips, and, setting
up irritation, provoke tho cuticle to de-
posit around it a aeries at thin films of

Spontaneous.
An anecdote told by a London news-
paper of the late Sir John Millais, the
painter, illustrates the fact that sponta-
neousnesa in a public speech is general
ly the result of elaborate preparation.
Sir John was a graceful speaker, but
his speeches cost him a great deal of
time and labor. At a dinner given at
the Arts club on Leighton's appoint-
ment as president of the Royal acade-
my, Millais was in the chair. He made
an admirable speech—frank, sympathet-
ic, eloquent and apparently unstudied.
His friends congratulated him, saying
they had no idea he had the gift of ora-
tory or could speak so well and so spon-
taneously. "Spontaneous!" he said.
"Why, that wretched speech has kept
me awake for the last five weeks I"
