A FayOrite Place For Suicides.

New York mixes its contrarities
thoroughly, writes a correspondent
from that city. Witness the fact that
its famous playground. Central Park,
is its place of tragedies. The wheels
of millionaire's carriages roll on the
asphalt roads past the seat of wretches
desperate with hunger. The hoofs of
gay equestrian's horses raise dust that
settles on the rags of miserable tramps.
The secluded walks and Swallowed re-
cesses are thronged in the evenings
by paired lovers, and in the morning
the bodies of suicides are found in
these same sentimental retreats by
the police. Central park has become
the chosen death place of so many
people that there is an average of one
suicide per day there. Most of them
get bare mention L. the papers, but
the yield of interesting matter is SO
large that the police station in the
park is one of the points to which
each city editor sends reporter every
midnight The courtship Of the poor
of New York, and especially of serv-
ants who are denied facilities for the

essential sort of thing indoors, is
largely done in Central park. The
policemen drive out the couples at 10
o'clock Ia the evening. and it is like
shepard dogs clearing vast hocks of
sheep out of the woods. Guards are
maintained at the gates during the
rest of the night, but it Is easy TO
gain entrance else where over the low
stone wall. The waters of the lakes
offer absolutely costless means of
death; the limbs of the trees require
the scant outfit of moose for strapgu>
lation. and to those able to buv poi
son Or with a knife to open a vein the
turf proves soft bed for uuwaking.
sleep. Had ali the suicides been bur-
led where they died Central park
would have becoma so much GENE
terry that no objection could have
been made 10 the interment of Grant.
and if the motives Of all the self-murd
erers could be learned there would
need to be no further Invention of
themes for novels.

CH0L ERA CAN BE CURED.
Novel Theory Advanced, and New
ID ethod of Treatment Successfully
Tested

q citizen OF Chicago has just re-
ceived from DR.. Chapman, the emf
nent physician OF Paris, and success
or to John Stuart mill IN his connec-
ton with the Westminster Review,
an important letter relative to his
theory regarding the cause and cure
Of Asiatic cholera It has been un~
derstood and believed that cholera is
entirely due to a germ or living organ
ism which finds it's way into the sys>
ten. from without, either through the
air. food, Or water, the body Of the
sufferer providing an almost unlimit>
ed supply of these organisms for I'M
parting the disease to others.
For some years Dr.. Chapman has
devoted much time to an investigation
Of this theory and claims that he has
succeeded IN scientifically demonstrate
ing that it is false. The disease, he
says, IS in no sense q hloed poison :;
nor is it contagious. He on the con-
trary holds that cholera is purely
nervous disease. Deepen ant chiefly on
thermal and electric influences, and
these being but modes OF motion"
are allied TO if not identical with sea-
sickness. the causation and pheno~
mena Of which are the same He as.
sumes and claims that by successful
treatment he has proven that cholera
depends upon q simultaneous hyperae-
mic condition of the spinal cord ana
the sympathetic system of nerves, the
former controlling the secretlng
glands and large voluntary muscles
OF the body, while the latter control
the voluntary muscles ia the coats Of
the arteries the bronchial tubes, and
elsewhere IN the system. This, ulti-
nately leads to the symptoms most
noticeable in the disease.
DR.. Chapman says that he will
shortly give his theory to the medical
world, and demonstrate its correct
ness by the most logical and consists
ent deductions known to pathology.
He adds that IN his hypothesis ne
aims in practice to reduce the super
abundance Of blood in the spinal and
sympathetic nerve centers, accom-
plishing this by the application Of ice
to the spine,
In the south Of France he has this
summer put his theory 10 the test.
The results have been astonishing.
Only four out of every thlrty-nine
cases IN his charge have proved fatal.
Under other methods of treatment the
ordinary mortality OF the disease is
from SO to 78 per cent.

Sugar on the Pacific Coast.
BradStreet'S

The greatest excitement observable
ip commercial circles in San Francis
co for years past occurred on the 18th
ult., when the California Sugar Re
fnery announced an advance of &C.
pound on ali grades. In view of
recent Developments and proposed
changes in the sugar business of the
Pacific coast this is only what might
have been expected. The American
Refinery has little or no stocks on
hand. It is said to have purchased
about half the Hawaiian crop for
three years. It has one cargo of raws
OH the way from Manila, which can
not reach here and be manufactured
for three months The California
Refinery, on the other hand, has large
stocks of refined goods on hand, and
knows that none can be received here
from any source before the end of the
year. These facts, together with the
advances reported from all parts of
the world and prospective frmness of
the sugar market, have induced the
Jump reported.
AS far as local jobbers are concern
ed the raise is an agreeable one. They
always prefer to see sugar selling at
advanced prices, as they make little
or nothing out of it at low rates.
Those who have laid in stocks in an
ticipation of this jump will be material
gamers. It is stated that the Califor-
MIA Refinery will net clear profit of
81, O00,000 by this transaction. An
ticipating an advance in the
-
added largely to their stocks at
low figures, and are now In position
to unload at very marked advance.
This has been the result of cool and
mature business management in the
face of an attempt made to force the
California Refinery out CT the market.
Nobody blames its owners for taking
advantage of the opportunity thus af-
forded them. but, on the contrary,
many admire the pluck and enterprise

which has characterized all tn
rnOVennants from the hopinninr

which has characterized all their
movements from the beginning.
The American Refinery on the other
hand, has been somewhat unfortunate
since its new Incorporation. It leased
a lot for the purpose of extending and
enlarging its buildings, bat the exca-
vations necessary to effect this pur>
pose are delayed pending the result Of
litigation. The shed being erected on
the city front where its sugars are'land-
ed, has fallen in, and the wharf, with
some so, 600 bricks intended for build,
ing operations, has given way, about
one half of the bricks falling into the
bay, It is further generally conceded
that the capital subscribed IN the new
organization is insufficient 10 carry
out their proposed undertaking, and
that the new building even will be In
sufficient to refine the large crops for
which they contracted, even if they
sell every pound of their product as
soon as 1t Is manufactured Taking
everything into consideration it will
be found that the California Refinery
has the advantage IN capital, build
ings, machinery and other facilities
for the manufacture of sugar. Though
making money for itself AMI its orig>
inators, it has always dealt fairly
with the trade, and the majority OF
the jobbers prefer to deal with it IN
their business transactions.

Matthias Berger is one of those'strange
characters one meets once a lifetime.
He thinks that men who can solve the
mysteries of the skies and earth are
possessed OF the devil, and, while he
has heard of the telegraph and te!e-
phone, he does not want to have any
thing to do with chem, as they are
part of the Vaccinations of the evil
one. He knows nothing of a grea
world beyond him filed with life and
activity, and OF the struggles of men
10 gain riches and power. Ali of these
are nothing to him. He has an idea
that men are getting too smart from
too much reading, aud will not touch
a newspaper.

THE TOBACCO CROP OF VISION
SIN.
The Crop of 1855 the Largest Ever
Grown i'm the State.

The raising OF tobacco is fast becom>
ing one Of the great industries of Wis
consia. The following statistics are
gathered from the CROP report taken
by the assessors throughout the state,
and compiled by the different county
clerks, aud returns made to the sec
rotary Of state. The total number of
acres of tobacco raised during the
year 1885 is 29,260, or nearly double
that OF 1884, which was Is, 836 acres,
and show plainly of an enormous in
crease in the culture of this product.
Wisconsin will this year lead all the
seed leaf producing states in the guam
tity of tobacco raised, as she has al
ready in the quality of leaf grown.
Tobacco is now raised in 40 of the
IS counties of the state, but Dane and
Rock counties still continue to produce
about fve-sixths of the entire crop.
