The statistics OF suicide ia this
country last year, AZ presented in the
New York Insurance Chronicle, mske
interesting reading. Thirty persons
in million killed themselves. The
epidemic is worse in summer than
during any other season, and the
causes are in many instar ces tsif.mg,
and sometimes ludIcrous. The farm
ers lead tile van among the suicides.
Among the nulion0lities the Ger
mans furnish the greatest nurlber Of
victims. 1t is also surprising TO inI
that the maj pritY of these uniortu-
mates are we'll educated, and have
bright minds. This leads the Chron-
icle to say that suicide claims the
best talent i'm the land. 3lany suicides
are not reported. Thousands OF men
and women knew that by puruing a
certain course, by ncglecting certain
things, by refusing to undergo mod
ical or surgical treatment, they viii
die in few months or years, and
yet they Deliberately choose to 20

SCnOOA accommodations
The needs for more school accommodate
tions are becoming imperative, and although
there are thirty departments in the different
schools and each teacher has as many pupils
as she can do justice to, still more are APP
plying for admittance, and several rooms
could be easily filed A two-roomed school
house similar to the Garfield school is pro-
posed to be built on the South hill south OF
Burlington street. This would relieve the
Central school, but the High school building
is also crowded. If the school board could
see their way clear to provide the money,
the erection of a building, say on the old
court house lot, which for central position
and beauty of location could not be eX-
celled, would be the best thing that could
be done for the benefit of all. This would
leave the High school building with plenty
of room for the pupils on the North hill for
some years. This would also be of the
greatest possible benefit to, the High school,
as next term there is every probability that
the number in attendance will be doubled,
as the grammar school grades will send in
large number, as the thorough work done in
all the departments cannot fail to bear
fruit. The hours of the High school pupils
are not the same as those OF the lower de-
partments, and while these are out at recess
it is next to impossible for the larger pupils
to continue their studies owing to the din.
A four-roomed building should be erected
as high school, and it would be found
that it would be a profitable investment
when the results are computed.

A Hotel Keeper Who Got the Worst

Who Went Wrong.


is this Mister Riley they speak of so
highly, my friend Mlstet Riley who keeps
the hotel" sang the bailiff in voice mel
iffluously bland when the case of John
Fletcher was called yesterday. The accused
was charged with asSaulting train boy,
and the case developed some rather peculiar
features. Fletcher is the proprietor of a
hotel in Manitoba, and a short time ago he
went to Winnipeg, and, among other things,
he bought lot of whisky. He entrusted
the latter to passenger on the train, who
got off at a way station and took the booze
with him. The train boy offered
to tell where the whisky thief
was located for SO. Fletcher
agreed to the proposition, but the boy went
back on his word. The other day they
met in st. Paul and Fletcher struck at the
boy twice; the second time the lad lodged
the blow and his fist struck the counter
with such force as to shaIter the bones of
his hand. The court thought he had been
punished badly enough and he only re-
quired him to give bond to keep the
peace.
George Briedert just escaped enmeshing
himself in bad scrape by the merest
stroke of good luck. He loaded to
the guards on tanglefoot last Mon
day and made himself disliked
by the employees of Hamm's brewery. The
men bounced him out of the beer factory.
whereupon he went and got gun. and. re-
turning, he placed it at the head of one of
the men who had fired him out The gun
was rusty, however, and wouldn't go off, so
instead of being arraigned for. perhaps,
murder, he was only charged with disor-
derby conduct He was retired for sixty
days.

A Souvenir.

Miss Agnes Greene, on Easter morning,
was present at the services held by Chaplain
Harrington at the state prison chapel, and
gave reading to the prisoners entitled
''Whistling up in Heaven" which, under
her pathetic rendering, moved the great
majority of the prisoners to tears. They
have manifested their appreciation of her
efforts by sending her, through Chaplain
Harrington, beautiful Easter card, 9x5
inches, hand painted by one of the prison.
ers. At the top Of the card are the words
ga Glad Easter" in monastic style. Then
there is beautiful lily, and on the scroll
holding it the monogram "A. g." entwined.
In small German text below were the fol-
lowing most appropriate verses, composed
by the convict:
A bright, bright Easter morn, in gloomy,
gloomy prison,
Our hearts sad, sad, forlorn, we hear that
Christ is risen,
A bright, bright spark Of hope, to sad, sad
hearts is given,
A sweet, sweet story told, bout 'sWhistling
up in Heaven"
May a rich, rich reward, for sparks of ssHope''
thus rendered
In verse, words, every one so beautifully
rendered,
Be ever, ever thine; and joyous honors bring
ing
Thy name with his entwine, whilst Heavens
bells are ringing.
