Suicide Endemic.

There have been suicides so numer-
ously in New York of late as to secure
the appellation of epidemic. No i'm
mediate local incentive is indicated for
this. nor is it confined to those who can
be best spared. That state has a law
that makes it criminal offense to COM
nit self-murder. but no instances of
punishment of unlucky attempts are re-
ported. 1t is not probable that any law
would be more effective than the law
against murder. There can be no COM
plete preventive, but a public sentiment
that would look upon the self-killer not
as an object for sympathy, but as a
craven too abject and spirltless to face
the difficulties presented, would have
some restraining influence. The self
destroyer could be regarded as lunatic
or an object of execration and contempt.
The example otherwise becomes dan
gerOuS to others. 7r

New Sphere for Women.

While young women are looking over
the field for lines of activity allowable
for them to follow for subsistence, it
probably does not occur to them that
membership in fire companies can come
in their range. A recent London paper
speaks of women in that city having
gone to Paris to give instruction to
French women as to service they can
render at fires. 1t is not very fully in
dicated what their assignments are in
connection with fires. They do not, of
course, help operate the machines or
WELD the AK; but, it is said, they have
saved many lives by entering buildings
where practicable, and encouraging
frightened and timid females to use the
fire escapes. They are said to become
quite fearless in this work, and really
render valuable service. They are
women in good standing, and do not
lose in repute by their connection with
the hre department. Still, it is not likely

ual canvass of the church-going people
was made in New York last Sun
day, which shows that out Of
total population of 1.700,00o souls less

for the empire city of the continent,
and it is possible that Chicago can pre-
sent much better cburch-going record
than this, particularly If the location of
the worlds fair is made to depend upon

for the church people. Although the
number of white communicates is small
in comparison with the entire white
population, it is mainly made up of the
influential classes, the people who
mould public opinion and shape the

dition of affairs remains Christianity will

Physical culture aims to energiZe and

system. 1t designs not to develop one
part at the expense of another, or to the
neglect of another. 1t is calculated to
restore to healthful activity the system
with djsOrdered and torpid factors, and
some notable instances of such results
have been observed. Rightly interpret

application of common sense to the
anatomy of the young. 1t teaches not
only the best estate of the body as ma

A circular was received from Iron
MOlders' Union No. 142, stating that
their union label had been adopted by
wholesale firm in Missouri which sells
stoves to firm in this city, and asked

that further information might be
gained in regard to the label. Another
circular was received from Tile Layers
Union No. $500, of New York, urging
the cooperation of all tile layers
unions to form all international union.
AS no such union exists in this city the

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

The directors of the Stephens Lii
brary association met last Monday even
ing at the Labor Temple and discussed
the proposition to furnish reading
room for workingwomen. Walter VrOo-
man explained that committee of act
i've young people were soliciting d0na-
tions of books, and would endeavOr to
provide occasional lectures or entertain
ments. They thought the library rooms
In the Temple could be used for this
purpose, to the mutual satisfaction OF
all concerned. The managers agreed to
the proposition, with the provision that
some other arrangement would be made
when the Stephens association wished
the room for its own use.
The Nationalist club met at DR.. Clark's
residence last Tuesday evening with
smaller attendance than usual. The
discussion was mainly upon the in
fiuenee which nationalism would have
in developing Individuality. people who
are not enthusiastic about the new school
of thought usually believing that ma
tionalism would tend to check the growth
of individuality. The tendency of the
debate showed that the members of the
club, at least, had no doubts upon that
score. An interesting paper by DR.. ..
l.. Redfeld, of Dakota, was read and
commented upon.
j. G. Haynes spoke before the Single
Tax league last Wednesday evening on
ssThe Management of Railroads." He
quoted largely from Hudson's interest
ing work on this subject and thought
the tracks, etc., should be a separate
sort of property from the rolling stock,
and held by the government as public
highways; the roads to be operated by
companies exacting no direct c0mpen-
sation from passengers, but receiving
stipulated amount from the government
for the proper performance of their du-
ties.

DAKOTA TIN MINES.

AMOS CUMMINGS. the well-known
journalist and ex-member of congress,
has been writing some very interesting
articles for the New York Sun from the
Black Hills, in which he gives the Da-
kota tin mines a boom with glowing
tintS. Although it is evident that Mr..
CUMMINGS is in the employ of syndi-
cate who are interested in developing
the tin industry in Dakota, still his let
ters impart great deal of information
that is as valuable as it is reliable.
There is no longer any doubt about
there being rich supplies of tin en-
bedded in the Black Hills, nor is there
any doubt but that the agents of British
manufacturers are industriously at work
in this country in an endeavOr to defeat
all legislation that will assist in
AS matters now stand, Wales
has a practical monopoly of tin plate
manufacturing. They have proceeded
upon the theory all along that America
produced no tin, and the recent dis
covery of a rich supply in Harney's
Peak, of the Black Hills range, has
created CONSERVATION among the British
capitalists. There is now an exciting
controversy in London in regard to the
probable supply of the Dakota tin
mines. A company has been formed,
with capital of SlO,O00,O 900, to develop
the Dakota mines. and it is estimated
that the annual output will be worth
s20.O00,0OO. This is certainly rOseate
prospect for the new state, to whose
borders population is already fiocking
in anticipation of the opening Of the
great Sioux reservation; and the tide of
immigration will be swelled to double
its present volume when it is known
that the development of Dakota tin will
open up stream of wealth equal to
that which poured down from the gold
mines of California

CHURCH-GOERS

Bishop HARE created something of a
sensation in the general Episcopal con-
vention in New York, the other day, by
the assertion that. although the Indian
population of South Dakota was only
about one-tenth of the entire popula-
ton, there were more church members
among the Indians than among the
whites of the territory. 1t is probable
that the South Dakota bishop referred
to the communicates in his own particu-
lar denomination. which has been doing
extraordinary mission work among the
Northwestern Indians. Still, the dis
parity of church members to the whole
white population OF this country is a
matter that is exciting public attention
