Some Facus About suicides.
"The proportion of female to male

''The proportion Of female TO male
suicides is about six to one."
Women are free from business cares
and do not drift into Intoxicating hab-
its; they also take disappointments in
love more philosophically than men
they regard disappointment as a ma
tural sequence, III fact are disappointed
if they are not so disappointed. A great
many men do not expect it, and not
being prepared, are so upset that they
| generally resort to extreme dissipation
or suicide. The great majority of wO-
men select poison as the easiest method
of crossing the Styx. They are natu-
rally afraid of pistol, and would ma
turally scream and run if they saw one
while seeking self-destructive method.
Next to poison they select hanging and
they almost invariably make "a bung-
ling job of that, just rs they do in at
I tempting TO cut their throats. Very
often they jump from a window, and in
yariably scream; no doubt they shut
their eyes when they take the fatal
| leap.
The proportion OF married suicides is
scarcely large enough TO admit the ar
gument that marital unhappiness was
the main cause. On the other hand, it
is argued that family ties tend to check
suicidal intent, or rather execution.
Being of a more refined nature than
man, and less inclined to the tragic or
heroic, women naturally select the ca
siest and less barbaric methods of death.
Shooting or cutting disfigures the body,
and woman wants to be beautiful even
in death, and besides, when she takes
poison, she has an opportunity TO say a
last word which she may have forgotten.
1t is argued by some that woman, being
less courageous than man, selects the
easiest means of pOisOn;but it is queS-
tiOn whether suicide is not more a mat
ter of bravery. Many hold that it re-
quireS no herOism to commit suicide,
and no doubt the great majority of self
killings are done in moments of intense
frenzy and without deliberatlon.
The absence of deliberatiOn accounts
for SO many failures; which are 80 or 40
per cent, and this is the stra gest part
of it. While attempts to commit other
crimes may be resisted or disturbed the
would-be suicide almost invariably
seeks retirement, where he is free from
preventiOnyeth he often fails. Of course,
this is owing 10 natural nervousness,
want of method, and fright. 1t seems
paradox; but they are frightened at
their own desperation.
The extreme poor class furnish the
largest percentage of suicides, owing
probably to the trials and disappolnt-
ments of their checkered lives. The
middle class furnish the remainder, ex-
cepting in few cases there is no sui
eide among people Of wealth. Not hay-
ing TO combat the world, pride of posi-
tion and a greedy desire to revel i'll the
luxuries that wealth can purchase even
for the miserable, is 10 doubt the cause
of the scarcity of suicide among the
wealthy class.

Edward DermereIl had been sen

in gaol calmly, and never by word de-

tence. A report was brought TO him
by the chaplain that an attempt had
been made to bribe b In out of prison,
but that the authors had been discov.
cred and would be punished. He ex.
pressed his disapproval of what his
friends had done, saying that the jury S
verdict had been given on the facts
laid before it, and that he had nothing
to complain of. He added that he
wished for no attempts to get him a re-
prieve, as he preferred death to penal
servitude.
This serenity lasted until the very
night before the day appointed for the
execution, and then Edward Dermerell
asked to see a Roman Catholic chap
lain. He was Protestant, but he
wanted to make full confession, said
he, and would only make it to priest
whose lips would be sealed. Next morn
ing at seven O'Clock, when the prisoner
had but half an hour more to live, IA
Roman Catholic priest was introduced
into the condemned cell.
The attendant warders, without leav-
ing the cell, withdrew. into a corner,
and Dermerell fell on his knees, then
said in low whisper ""Father. wish

reveal it, that one person at least may

wife died l was with Lady Lexington.

facts, | swear it before God. die now,

entrusted to me, and could not betray

'Great heavens, but this is suicidel,

not yet time to save you?"
"NO, l have purposely put off my
confession till the last minute" said
Dermeren quietly. ''Hark, the bell Is
already tOlling there are steps In the
passage. Now give me your pardon and
blessing.
The cell-door was thrown open, and
the governor coming in all dressed in
black, saw Edward Dermerell step for
ward to meet him with his face shin
ing. 1t was the priest who wept.
Some weeks later Sir Richard Ley
ington, standing by the bedside of his
wife, who was recovering from illness,
said, with cold tranquility: ''Let us say
no more about Edward Dermerell. If
he murdered his wife he was rightly
hanged: if he was innocent, as you said
in your crazy wanderings, then he was
justly punished for his offence towards
me. 1 purposely let him meet his doom.
Do you hear ?"
A moan was the only answer he re-
ceived. But Lady Lexington did not

beautiful drama, ''Micaliz ;oi Double Life, u

his excellent company.
The drama is Accordingly strong in motive
and the incidents are such as to command
the interest of the audience throughout. The
drama is replete with realistic effects and the
scenic representation is elaborate and beauti-
full in the extreme.
In referring to its preservation in Chicago,
an exchange OF that city says: Somewhat
singular Is IL that play so strong in dra-
matte character, so powerful in motive, so
absorbing of interest, so skllfuily contriyed.
and so generally good should have been lost
to the stage for decade during which pic
turesque and sensational dramas were so
much in demand. But until last night the
work has had 10 local representation In the
length of time named, and it is due to the
failure of Mr.. Newton Gottho!d in other un-
dertakings that we are now permitted the
real pleasure Of seeing Berriere's worthy
play at the Standard theater. The present
title OF it is ''Micaliz; or, A Double Life, ("

terse, sometimes poetic, often heroic, always

AMI Seventh streets with four
gentlemen. Two of these gentlemen
had about two quarts of fiery fluid in their

appearance OF the distinguished
individuals they were too lumber even
to sit in a chair, and they rolled off the chair
in which they were placed and slumped
down upon the floor. The other two
were not quite so full. They
evidently had not more than quart and
pint in their ''barrels.' One Of the fellows
that was la the worst condition claimed that

how much he had lost. In the whole crowd
there Sas but tdree dollars. All were locked
up, and, taken altogether, it was q very

to-day carried the war on passenger rates to
all important points in Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and western New York and the out

1t is now claimed that the beligerentl atti-

Gould and his friends have sold the
Vanderbilt stocks short to the extent of many
millions, and they are represented to be not
at ali averse to railroad war which will re-
duce the value of the securities they have
sold and enable them to cover at a large
profit.
Vanderbilt says that Erie is bankrupt, and
that even President King cannot now save
! it. Central 81 Hudson was attacked at the
opening, and this brought out large amount
OF long stock. Lake Shore came next, and
Telegraph, which has heretofore stood the
brunt of the battle, gave way before the
day closed. Delaware Sc Lackawanna and

they joined the balance in their downward
course. The bears had it all their own way,
and the opposition have been so badly
worsted, that it looks as though liquidation
may continue for some time to come. The
earnings OF the Northwestern continue to
show falling of, the decrease for sthe Sec

. TAis was a damper on the stock. The
market appeared ompetely demoralized
at tle finish and though there was
considerable evening up for the week, the
rallies amounted to but little and stocks
were about the lowest for the day, when the
exchange closed. Old and conservative
brOkers say that tue lowest prices have not
been reached yet, and that the war of rates,
according to their inform alton, will within a
few days take tue additional shape of cutting
of tregilts in some proportion as the psssen-
ger rates have been put down. 1t is believed
that the pool will be absolutely broken up,
