ed toward the question by the suicidal

waye which seemed to pass over the citv . ahmit onA vear aeo. At this time there were three suicides of the I most prominent citizens of Richmond and self destruction threatened to become a popular , method for release from misery suffering and despondency, ....... The matter was made the subject of sermons and newspaper comment. Recently there has been one death and one , attempted suicide, both by the carbolic acid route. Tt lB believed bv the Rev. Hunting don that another spasmodic wave of suicide is about to break out in this city ,and it is with'this in view that he advises despohdents to visit ministers In order that their grim determination might be altered. The Rev. Huntington feels deep pangs of regret that he did hot publicly give such advice' some time ago. In discussing the cause of ' suicide, Dr."4 Huntington said that people became despondent for various reasons, and, the burden bore so heavily on their minds that death appeared to them to be a pleasure. Despondency is -chief ly due to sin, according to the minister. . Where to Secure Help. , People in such condition are in need of spirilua help, according to him, and be believes that the most logical way for them to receive this aid is to unburden themselves to the minister of their church, or. in event they are not members of a church, to visit any minister. "We. will . be glad to confer with an yon.6 who feels death would be a relief. Our advice will be to try and be cheerful in face of trouble and accept Christ, for only by these two methods will one be able to overcome these periods of .melancholia, which nearly everyone experiences, but to which only the weakest succumb. Conferences between ministers and despondents will be strictly confidential," stated Rev. Huntington. DOCTORS TO TEST USE OF STOVAIHE New Anaesthetic Will Soon Be Tried by Chicago Spec ialists.

The patient is Mrs. Charwick Cosgrove of Dubuque, Iowa, and the operation is termed a laparotomy for carcinoma of the small intenstine, in other words, a major operation for cancer. The stovaine will be injecterl at the base of the spinal cord and Mrs. Cosgrove may 1? she chooses, observe some of the operation wiihout'physteal pain?" - , - " Several prominent Chicago surgeons are expected to be present as it will be the first demonstration of the Jon nesco discovery west of New York. .

Th'e knowledge of the marvelous powers of stovaine. which is amylene chlorhydrate, have been known to Dr. Jonnesco for several years, but he has been unable to obtain the proper rec ognition from , the medical profession of the world until comparatively recently. The unknown Roumanian surgeon, having become assured of the value of his discovery by numerous experiments in Hungary, went :o Berlin and there he was given credit for his achieve ments. He next went to London and demonstrated stovaine's powers to th? surgical experts at Guy's and Bartholo mew's two of London's famous hospitals, and is now in this country.

De Bivar by name, in the latter half of the eleventh century was slain by the count of Oviedo. De Bivar had one son, Rodrigo Diaz, a fiery youth, destined to become the national hero of Spain. Like many another such hero of olden times, his real exploits have become so tangled with legendary feats that it is hard to separate the two. Here is his love story, as told in Spanish chronicle and song: To avenge his murdered father, young Rodrigo sought out the count of Oviedo and challenged him to mortal combat. The challenge was accepted. The two fought with swords and Oviedo was slain. Rodrigo had but obeyed the customs of his time in avenging his father's death. He considered the affair now at an end. But Oviedo's daughter, the beautiful Ximena, rushed to the king of Castile, demanding justice and begging that her father's slayer be put to death. by torture. According to some accounts, Rodrigo had already seen Ximena and (though unknown to her) had lost his heart to the lovely girl. Thus it had .. , been a bitter grief A Girl's Plea tQ hlm when flllal for Vengeance. devotlon forced him to kill Oviedo and by that deed to raise so fearful a barrier between himself and the woman he loved. la any case, Ximena clamored for his execution. He was seized and brought before the judgment seat of the king to face his fair accuser. But at sight of the handsome youth Ximena suddenly lost all longing for his punishment. She withdrew her plea that he be slain, and he was accordingly set at liberty upon his explanation that the killing of Oviedo had not been a murder, but a matter of fair fight and an act of vengeance for the death of Rodrigo's own father. Ximena could not forget the gallant young man. When she saw he was equally attracted by her own charms, she so far set aside her former hatred as to come again to the king and ask that her hand be given in marriage to Rodrigo. The youth eagerly assented to the plan, which was to change his recent enemy to his wife. "For the father of whom 1 deprived you," be said, "I - offer yon a husThe two were accordingly married. But their wedded life was destined to run far from smoothly. Spain was isplit up into several minor kingdoms. Most or tnem were more or less fre quently at war with one another. There were also many thousand Moors In the country. These controlled cities and whole districts and were nearly as powerful as the Spaniards,, with whom; they often clashed. Rodrigo, in the service of King Alfonso of Castile, won for himself by bravery the titles of "The Cid" and "El Campeador" (."The Lord" and "The Conqueror") and became the foremost general of the day. A political clique contrived his exile from Castile. Then his true career began. Gathering about hlm a "free lance" army, the Cid offered , his services first to one Spanish monarch, then to another. He sided with Christian or Mahometan alike; burned either churches or mosqueo, sacked Spanish or Moorish towns. His sword and his army were at the call of the highest bidder. His warlike deeds were in every mouth. In short, he became a wholesale freebooter. ' At length he conquered a goodly district in ' Spain and set up a kingdom on his own account, ruling with Ximena, who seems to have remained The Man Who th J" stni m Kinnm all r the years of Stole a Kingdom. nard8hip and dlg. aster. . His "kingdom" included nearly all of Valencia and Murcia. Here for a time he ruled wisely and with surprising gentleness. But he was growing old. When some of his former victims took up arms against him, in 1099, he did not go to battle himself, but sent a trusted lieutenant to lead his forces. This lieutenant was beaten. The disgrace of defeat threw old Rodrigo into a fit of rage, from which he died. Ximena for two years defended Valencia against the foe. proving herself a brilliant commander. At length. when force of numbers compelled her to flee, she carried to safety with her the body -of her hero-husband, in whose memory she had waged so valiant a war against hopeless odds. Use of Flowers for Food. An interesting development of the use of flowers for food is recorded in the daily papers, says the London Globe. The use of the candied petals of the violet as a sweetmeat has long been known, but the practice is now arising -of preserving flowers whole. You may now buy a bunch, say of violets, for your buttonhole, and afterward eat them. As a matter of fact, a number of flowers are habitually eaten. Cloves, capers, cauliflowers and artichokes are all flowers, or parts of flowers, before the blossoms have expanded. Immense Electrical Plants. The twoc Waterside stations of the New York Edison Company, in First avenue, between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets, New York City, are said to make, together, the largest electric light and power plant in the world, capable of supplying 500,000 Horsonower of Jctrical installation Once a Deer Paddock In Yonker.
