SOME INTERESTING tables relat-
ing to suicide are published IN an
insurance paper. From these it
appears that during June, July and
August of this year, AIS persons
committed suicide in the United
States, against 514 in the same
period last year. Of the suicides in
1888 $50 were males and
121 females. The most fire.
quent cause was insanity, after
which in order came sickness, FAM
lily troubles, dissipation, love and
business troubles. The number of
husbands who took their own lives
was 199, of bachelors 12S, of wives
81, of maids 32, of w.dowers 81, and
of widows Is. The faYorite method
used was shooting, 147 deaths having
been thus caused, while there were
10 cases of poisoning, 104 of hang-
ing, So of drowning, and 80 of cut
ting the throat. Of the whole num-
bsr $40 were Americans and Ger
mans, the former leading by 46. The
ages vary from 6 to "a years, the
greater number having occurred at
the age of so.

THERE CONES an intimatieA that
an eastern road is about to an
nounce a forty-cent freight rate
from Chicago to this city, or a re-
duction of more than one>half the
present low rate. Should this fur
thsr cnt occur, those merchants
who have been crazy to fill their
stores and warehouses before the 50
cent rate from the Missouri river
was discontinued, will feel that
their "previousness" has gotten
them into more trouble than they
were likely to experience from
overstocking, which latter promises
to be bad enough. 1t is quite prob
able that the freight rate will 60
lower before it does higher, and it
is said to ne not at all presumable
that rates will ever again reach their
former height.

BELL, THE new supervising arch

partment in sorry condition, and
as a beginning in the purifying
programme that he has set before
himself, he will make a wholesale
discharge of clerks. Under his pre-
decessor, Hill. all ssrts of corruption
has been carried on, the bureau be-
ing a den for thieves and rogues
who have plundered government of,
thousands. A Washington corres~
pondent says the modelling room is
believed to be one of the most cor
rupt branches Of the establishment.
A Frenchman is in charge and he
has surrounded himself with a

thanking heaven that they are not
citizens of vulgar, unstable gov
eminent like this. Bell has been in
charge only few days, but has al.
ready discovered that Hills wrong
doings were much greater than were
even charged before the committee
that investigated him last summer

The DEMOCRATIC enemies to
Tilden assert that it was his money
which defeated Butler in Massa-
chusetts, the idea being that Uncle
Sammy feared Ben's growing popu-
larity. This may or may not be
true, but if it is correct it furnishes
another reason why Tilden should
be nominated next year. When he
undertakes to carry an election he
does it, ard that is the kind of man
the Democrats want in 1884. The
party has often enough tried men
who fail.

THE HERALD AND RAILROADS

Somebody who expresses interest
In THE HERALD, but who forgets OF
neglects to attach his name to the
question, asks why The HERALD is
not a better friend to the railways,
and intimates that we have been
too severe, and. in his opinion, un-
just at times in criticlsing the con-
duct of the roads. Anonymous
communications, as a rule,
are thrown aside without
consideration, for the reason that
people who have anything to say
that should be said, are not afraid
to let it be known who they are.
However, in this instance. we will
disregard the rule, merely for the
purpose of gratifying our evidently
interested questioner. AM, first,
we will ask him, in the nature of
Yankee reply to his query, to point
to one instance where The HERALD
did not show itself the friend to
railroads. From the first. its history
is that of advocating railways, of
encouraging roads, of urging their
construction and support. No paper
in the great interior west has done
more for railways than THE
HERALD, and it proposes that none
shall, for it realizes that railroads
are the great civilizers and develop
ers OF the country. Without them
Utah would be in sorry condition
to-day. They have been the agents
through which the Territory has
grown rich and prosperous, and are
doing more for her industrially,
if not socially, than anything else
within our bor ders. THE HERALD
wishes there was railway across
every county and to every town and
village in Utah; and if its encour>
aging efforts can bring it about, the
near future will find the railroad
mileage in Utah twice or thrice
what it is now.
The HERALD, on occasions, has
found it necessary in guard
ing the rights of the people, to criti-
else the unjust conduct of railroad
managers, and protest against un-
fair and outrageous Determinations
against individuals, local Industries
and communities. If The HER LID
has spoken in plainness at these
times it 10 glad Of it, for that was
what it tried to do and what it in
tends in future whenever occasion
demands. We do this because the
paper is the friend to Utah and the
people, as well as the advocate and
supporter of the railroads. We be-
lieve railway, managers make mis-
takes, and that they are frequently
unjust, and unwisely so from the
railroad point of observation; and
thus believing, The HERALD. not
withstanding its keen appreciation
of the Importance of the roads, can
speak freely and plainly, without
assuming the position of an enemy
to railroads.

clare their intention of abandoning its

SAYS the Lancet; 'is the most widely
distrib tited substance in the body; it ex:

and not only is it every where present,

maintains in it proportion that is al.

that is consumed with the food. The
blood will take up so much and no more,
however much we may take with our

And With What Success She Sues
Poor Man.
A well-rounded and petite figure, al
ways clad in black, Will b, large, brown
eyes, clear-cut an 4 regular features, and
small and and well.shaped hands, help
to make Mrs. Maria A! Harm, of Brad
ford, Pa, attractive. She has achieved
a, reputation as a speculator in petro-
leum: She went in too deep, and to ex-
tricate has5called in the aid OF the law.
She is widow and the mother Of two;
bright and interesting, boys. She en-
gagged as her broker Col. N. D.. Preston,
and delivered to him duly certificates Of
deposit to the amount of about $4,000.
The broker held these certifi-
Gates, he pretends, for security, and put
up the margins himself. For time for
tune smiled on the woman speculator;;
On the first deal she cleared 5000, and
on the second 81 ,34S. The broker gave
his checks for these amounts and re-
turned one Of the certificates of depos-
it. Mrs. Harm then wanted to buy
100, 900 barrels of oil. Col. Preston's
hair began to stand on end. He would
not undertake to handle such bundle.
She then proposed to compromise on
u, 900 barrels and failing in this, plead
ed for $1,000 barrel lot. The broker
was not to be moved from his purpose.
At that time the oil country was on the
verge of the great Cherry Grove excite
ment. which. when it came, ruined
thousands and sent the price from eight
ty. six cents to forty-nine cents barrel.
Col. Preston, after much persuasion,
consented to and did purchase 25,0C0
barrels of oil for her, and subsequently
5000 parrels were added. j Without
warning well No. 646, the pioneer Of the
Cherry Grove excitement, was brought
in gushing out thousands of barrels Of
crude q day. The market went 10
pieces. Mrs. Harm hung on to the oil.
were daily swallowed up and the mark
ct was fairly sinking out of sight. Every
day for two weeks the broker, accord
ing to his statement. called upon her
and appealed to her TO take the oil out
of his hands, and one day he served q
written notice on her that if the oil was
not taken out of his hands by certain
day it would he sold by public sale. The
day came, but Mrs. Harm was absent.
The oil was sold. For time the case
was allowed to. rest. A few days ago
Mrs. Harm aned Col. Preston for s. 400
damages. The case was Aeerd before
arbitrators. Mrs. Harm 3laimed that
she bad advanced SIC, 600 for margins,
that other parties were ready to carry
the oil, and that the broker sold her out
before he had right to. Col. Preston
offered no defence.
The arbitrators rendered an award in
favor Of the women for $24 900, the sum
