We learn here the interesting OF that,
when marriage ia childless, the number of
suicides is do eed in men trebled in wo.
meu; aud also me maternal love dimin-
ish,s the NUMBER of suicide among Wild
ows with chilOren by one third over those

This table also shows that males ex-
coed females IN the frequency of the act
ia the proportion o four to one. While
this II true OF suicides in general, il Ger
tRiuly Is not the case in those who are in
sane. Ny experience leads me to believe
hat suicidal tendencies in the insane are
quite as frequent among women as
among men, and am sure that the for
mer frequently show the more aetermin-
atiod ard consistency. In the outside
world men lead more exciting lives and
ara subject to greater mental strains than
women, ard it il, therefore, natural that
they should more frequently resort so
suicide. Another PROBABLE reason for
she comparative infrsqusrcy of suicide
among women 10 that they are better en-
dOwed with religions iervor aud possess
a larger share OF hope. In India and
Japan only does this rule fail TO hold
good, and there the number of snicides
among women is twice as great as among
men. This fact bears striking wineSs

PROGRESS IN OPENING CHIPPEWA RESERVES.
Brainerd MINI, sept. Indian runners from Leech
Lake arrived yesterday at Hslets Trading Post bringing
news from the Chippewa Indian Commission, now in
the northern wilderness. The Commission went from
Leech lake. having finished there to North Landing
an arm Of Leech Lake and 70 Prairie Point securing
signers without opposition. They then went on by
canoe and portages TO Cass Lake whore they were
completely successful, obtaining over 100 signatures
The Journey to Cas- Lake required over forty hours
with long poPtages. The weather was hot and the
trip tedious but the venerable commissioners stood the
jaunt we'll They finished al Cass Lake on Saturday
and departed on Monday for the Winnebagoship
ervatons which point additional stocks of food
for the Indians ordered by these
runners 10 be~ sent from Leech Lake
10 Winneba goship. The journey IS all the way by
canoe being by the Mississippi River from CasS Lake
and across the, Wnnebaguship Lake. On Winncbago
ship are several hundred Indians and more time Will
be required than at Cass but IS thought that ten
DAYS or two weeks more Will bring the Commission
ont of the Wilderness. At Mile Laos reservation
there Is no doubt serious obs tacles will be encountered
II understood that certain whites and halfbrceds
frorn sinister motives now among these Indians
LAYING the plans for opposition and that a powerful
alton of outsiders working with these as agents
win do its utmost to defeat the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
