sUIoIDE STATISTICS.

The alarming frequene of suicide within
the last few years has directed the attention
of medical science to a study of its phe-
nomena. The governments of France and
Great Britain have made official in quiry
Into the matter, which has resulted in the
collection of volume of interesting statis-
ties. From the publication OF = analysis
of these statistics m.i, by DR.. JOHN G.
LEE and published in the June number of
the Phil -deIphia Medical Times, we gather
the following facts regarding suicides
in France and England in relation to age,
sex, season and occupation. The English
record, covering a period of twenty-six
years. shows a mean death rate from sui
eide o. seventy-two persons annually per
rlillion living inhabitants. In both France
and England suicides appear to increase in
lines parallel with age, the maximum being
reached about the Goth year. OF the total
number of suicides in one year, 80 per cent.
were over 60 years, while the record showed
only l per cent. under 16 years
OF age. Massing all ages together, the
voluntary deaths of males exceed those
of females, the average rate by sex being
104 for Elen and Al for women per million.
In the death rate according to occupation,
in England the soldiers head the list, fol-
lowed by the educated portions of .he COM
munity who follow sedentary occupations,
while with occupations involving rough
manual labor and exposure to weather the
suicide rate was low. In France, how
ever, the suicide rate in the mill
tary service is much lower than
in England and the rate among
mechanics and farmers much higher. The
statistics of both countries show that the
suicide rate is much higher in warm
weather than in cold-the maximum being
reached in the month of June. Of the
methods for committing self-destruction
hanging is the most popular, A per cent.
having ended their lives at the end of a
rope. Then follows drowning, 81 per
cent; shooting, IL per cent; asphyxia
with gas, per cent; poison, 2
per cent; means not specified. 2 per
cent. The water route is most popular
with females, but it is curiously observed
that even in the matter of suicide woman
consults her comfort, as there are but few
instances of drowning when the water is
chilly. The idea of death in cold water is
repulsive to the female seif-murderer.

MAssILLoN, O., June 26.-A disconso-
late and heart-broken man is Fred Lehman.
proprietor of the only book bindery in
Massillon. Several months ago his fifth
wife died, and a few days after her demise
he employed as medium to secure the
sixth all advertisement in a German news
paper published in New York city. AS a
result of correspondence, there arrived here
the early part Of last week woman of his
nationality from the metropolis. She was
about so years of age, well dressed
and sported a gold watch and jewelry.
He met her at the depot escorted
his prospective bride to his residence and
was so elated with her, that he pleaded for
the contamination of the nuptials the evening
of her arrival. This was impossible, as a
license could not be procured. They made
the best of the situation. and the following
day the requisite document to legally unite
them was procured. Lehman is about 65
years of aye, less than five feet in height,
homely in features and unattractive in
form. He has passed here for more
than thirty years under the nink-
name of Jack O. Clubs and is
said to be unnaturally formed. When he
returned with the legal scrap of paper Civ
ing the two authority to be hitched, the
woman who was to become Wife No. 6
coolly informed the eager expectant hus-
band that she had received word from New
York that her property was on fire and that
even if the contlagration was not in
progress she would have to return to get
her wardrobe and effects. The next train
east carried the woman 60 her home and
the veteran bookblnder has thus far only a
marriage license to share his bed with him.

THE ROYCnTT

There is more truth than poetic imagina-
ton in Mr.. TREvELLICK's statement that
the boycott as practiced by the labor organ
izations is tit-for-tat game If anything
could be justified upon the principles en-
bodied in the law of retaliation, there might
be some excuse for the boycott Capita |
first inaugurated the boycott by adopting
the black list system. 1t is true it was not
called by that name, but the principle is
all the. same, and one cannot be iusti-
ned more than the other. Still, two
wrongs never made right. If it was
wrong in the capitalist to inaugurate this
species of matchmaking, it is made no nearer
right by the wage-earners adopting the
same practices. 1t is true that the latter
have the argument on their side that the
/. lex taiionis was resorted to by them in this
instance as a measure of self-defense. The
fact that it has been adopted and carried to
extremes by both parties, is of itself an
argument in favor of some measure that
will eliminate the system entirely.

To Say a Word.


There are some timid Democrats who while
not in sympathy with the present state organ
ization, are apprehensive that the anti-Kelly
movement may cause rupture in the party,
and that it is best to be moderate and to
make an united effort against the common
enemy. OF course MIR. Kelly's friends and
Mr.. Doran's friends are doubly anxious over
the prospect of split in the party. They are
utterly unseltish and are inspired by nothing
but loyalty to the party. They are pretty
comfortably fixed with fat offices and they
look upon their patent scheme of bossism as
one of the most perfect and wonderful crea-
tions of the human brain. 1t is to the former
and not to the latter clsss that the Herald de-
sires TO say word. The present state orgauiza-
ton with Mr.. Doran at it's head is simply
nothing. 1t has no value whatever except as
machine for mutual division of offices
among its members. As a factor in political
campaigns it has neither life nor energy, and
it never has nor it never will accomplish
anything for the party. The present aim and
object of its existence is to so manipulate
federal patronage that through its colared
postmasters, special agents, deputies and
other federal officeholders, it can influence
the election of members of the legislature in
the interests of the railroads and the rings to
which Mr.. Kelly has always belonged. 1t
means perpetuatiou under other forms and
names, OF the same ring rule which has
cursed Minnesota for years. This Is the Sc
cret of the whole scheme.

STRIKERS IN COURT.

The managers of the Lake Shore road
have succeeded in obtaining from the Su-
perior court of Cook county an Injunction
against the striking switchmen on that
line. prohibiting them from interfering
with the running of the road The writ of
injunction carries with it the entire police
power of the state of Illinois to guarantee
its enforcement, and virtually places the
strikers in antagonism to the state
authorities. If they insist on pre-
venting other employees from taking
the places they have vacated they will
stand in contempt of court and must take
the consequences. If this action of the
superior court of Cook county is sustained
by the, higher courts, the result will be to
make the judiciary an arbitration board be-
tween the employers and the employees. The
courts will be loaded down with cases of
this kind to the exclusion of all other bus 81
ness. Then we will be forced to establish
an arbitration commission or to increase the
number of judicial districts in every state.

CHEVALIER CUSTER.

Of all the officers of the United States
army who distinguished themselves during
the late civil war, there was none who dis
played more OF the knightly qualities than
GEORGE CUSTER, the young cavalry gen.
eral. There was tinge of romance in his
mature, combined with the bold dash of the
cavalier, to invest his military career with a
halo OF heroism. Young and ambitious,
ardent and courageous, magnanimous to a
Efault, it is no wonder that when
the opportunity presented itself young
.lCUsTER should have risen to
the top rank in his profession. He was a
born soldier, and having been trained to the
arts of war it was an easy matter for a
nan of his disposition to win laurels on
the field of martial glory. He was scarcely
more than a boy in years when he entered
the army at the outbreak of the rebellion.
and yet when the war closed there was not
an officer in the cavalry service of the army
OF The Potomac, net even excepting the
dashing SHERIDAN, who was more of a
hero in the estimation of his comrades
than the youthful CUSTER.
In the studio of noted sculptor in Wash
ington can be seen an unfinished bust OF
CUSTER. Just before he was ordered on the
Inflated Little Big Horn expedition he was
summoned to Washington to give testimony
before congressional investigating com
mittee concerning the conduct of some gov

Join the triumph up on high.
Lo, the Lord OF Hosts is risen,
He has triumphed over death.
Raise your voices, sons OF Adam,
Praise Him with your living breath.

OF His victory over sin,
Open wide your doors, o mortals.
Let the King of Glory In.
Cast your heavy burdens on Him.
Trust Him, love Him and adore.
Praise Him for His wondrous snff, ripps
Never born by one before.
Can We stand before Him, doubling
He who is your only God,
Can you fear Him, or despise Him?
Heavenly Master, rightful Lord.
o, beloved, turn to Jesus,
Who upon this day arose,
Cast the earthly fetters from Him
Buried with Him all our woes.
All the grief of Lenten season
We have buried in the grave.
Let the past be gone forever
Christ, the Victor, lives to save.
May all Casters be as joyous
AS this one to Us has been,
All our days be just as perfect
AS the others we have seen.
Easter sunshine, Easter glory.
Brighten up the darksome sky:
Easter carols, loudly swelling.

NEW ULM, June 26.--The week at New
Ulm has been distinguished by fiery ardor
in the militia troops and an even more fiery
ardor in Old Sol. On Thursday and Friday
the heat was so Intense that among regular
soldiers drills would have been suspended,
but the militia, though for the most part
accustomed to indoor work only, have been
undaunted. Now. as Shakespeare says,

as to the prncely pretender to Portals

greater success with Portals Of a

drawn no evil results in its
fiery train. There have been no sunstrokes,

After Four Years.
Detroit Record.

Four years ago, during the memorable Kim
dred-Nelson campaign, the Duluth papers,
and the citizens generally, were for Mr. Nell
son, first. last and all the time. The papers
supported him most ardently and the English
language was insufficient for their purposes
in abusing his opponents. Alas, what a
change has come over the spirit of their
dreams. After four years of active and hon.
est service in congress, Mr.. Nelson is again
before his constituency, candidate for re-
election, and excepting the city by the I'M
sailed sea, he receives the hearty indorse-
ment of every class and section. In view Of
the fact that Mr.. Nelson has done more for
Duluth than for all the rest of the territory
in his vast district people would naturally
like to inquire into the why of the wherefore.
Duluth evidently has the big-head. or perhaps
it is big job that Mr.. Nelson is too scrupu-

generally lives in the city, pur-
chases town lots in country towns

and pays no taxes as long as he can get rid of
