A CASE OF REAL DISTRESS.

An Appeal to Local Pride, and tho
Results Thereof.
lSan Francisco Post
One OF the most singular traits of our COM
mon humanity is the fact that no matter
how arctichlly Indifferent the citizen of q
particular locality may DO to his ~neighbors
while at home, he no sooner becomes n tray
eier than his local pride sticks out like a peg
on a hat rack, and at a minutes notice.
The other morning, while the east-bound
overland WINS stopping at Council Bluffs, a
mn suddenly climbed into one of tho Pull
man cars, and exclaimed in an anxious voice:

THERE will be great rejoicing through
u the country over the intelligence that
Lieutenant Greedy, the intrepid Arctic cx-
plorer, with at least a few of his hardy
followers, has been rescued from n condi-
ton of frightful peril and ever impending
death. As the published dispatches show,
the rescue was made at the very nick of
time and a delay of twenty-four hours
might have been fatal to all concerned.
Commander Schley aud Lieutenant EN-
cry, Of the rescuing party, did their work
nobly and well.
Lieutenant Greedy returns home covered
with glory. He has dared and accom-
plished more than any of the brave ex-
plorers who have preceded him in this
terrible undertaking. He has, rs no one
has ever done before, spent two Winters
and part of a third in the extreme north
ern region, he has penetrated farther
north than the farthest point reached by
Mares, and he will return home loaded
down with the most valuable geographical
data. Even those who have but little
sympathy for explorations of the kind
cannot help admiring the cool courage,
the daring ~intrepidity and the indominit-
able perseverance Of Lieutenant Greedy.
The hearty recognition of his services
by his admiring countrymen will, in n
measure, repay him for the terrible hard
ships he has endured.

From statistics compiled by the htslT-
ance Chronicle, it appears that the num-
Der of suicides in the United States dur
ing March, April and May was 423, a
slight increase over the same period OF
last year Thirty-two were assigned to
business troubles, 10 to chagrin at paren-
tai discipline, % to restitution, 80 to dis
sipation, 81 to family trouble, IL to grief,
SO to insanity, 81 to love trouble, 81 to
sickness, and 10 to punishment undergone
or threatened. The record according to
condition was as follows: Maids, %;
bachelors, 1913; husbands, l0s; wives, SO;
widows, 9; widowers, II; divorced men,
6; divorced women, 4. Shooting was the
method chosen by los, poisoning by %,
hanging by 76, cutting the throat by p
and drowning by IS. In point of nation
atty the Americans led with 22l, the
Germans following with 81, and the Eng
fish with 10, The remainder were scat
tered among seventeen other natlonali-
ties. There were 46 farmers, 80 mer-
chants, 81 day laborers, II clerks and 9
spectators in the list. The remainder
were scattered among sixty other occupa-
tons. The record as to sex was males
1924, females 90. Ohio led in the roll of
States with "A, Pennsylvania following
with 40, Illinois with 3S, New York with
81, and Missouri 80. Two hundred and
eighty suicides were committed by day

Beecher,. Lu.uriou. Habits.

lAhlaNh JOuinuI.l
Mr.. Beecher has directed his manager, Mr..
Pond, to book al extensive lecturing tour for
next year. Mr.. Beecher's salary is SoO,0 900
per annum. He averages to receive double
this sum from his lectures and "a large ad-
ditionnl sum from his pen. He is not rich,
however. He keeps open house with his son,
with whom he resides, and gives, loans, in.
dorses, and does other unbusiness-like things
constantly at a heavy loss to his treasury. It
Is said that beyond his farm at PeekslSill, the
house and stock thereon, and his library and
bric-n-brAc there and at Brooklyn, the great
word-painter has nothing to show for his
large income for each of very many years.
His library Is so large that it is now being
catalogued with a view to soon making n sale
therefrom. He has expended, 1t is estimated,
Sl3O,OOO in books, and as many more have
been given him by publishers.
His house at Peekskill, built not long since,
Mr.. Beecber says has cost him $40, 600. 9th
es who watch business matters closer and
are familiar with its growth say $40, 600
would be nearer the correct sum. His cows
are all Alderneys, and the herd is believed
to be worth $4,000 to SIS, 900. His farm
and its manner of running and open hos
pitality is enough in itself to absorb a large
income. 1t is yet somewhat incumbered. His
collection Of bric-a-brac would make a large
and valuable museum. Fine prints, bronzes,
