Some Curious Suicides.

There have been a good many suicides
this year and some curious ones. OAe &C.
Cured at the Savannah hospital not very
long ago that was the occasion of a good
deal of comment. The victim was a man
OF more than ordinary intelligence, and the
letters that he left showed that he had con-
templated taking his life for a good while,
and that he had specialized great deal
about what would be his experience in the
unseen world. Another rather curious sui
Guide occurred in this city on Sunday morn
ing The victim had been a CONF anion of
the one who committed suicide at the
hospital He had tried to take his life sew
eral times without success, and he write
out carefully mis- ex perience in one instance
in which he nearly succeeded in destroying
himself with poison.
The other day the dispatches contained
the accou t of the suicide of man ia New
York who, before drowning, arrayed him
self in evening dress and carefully adorned
himself with a buttonhole bouquet. He
was clearly opposed TO being a corpse from
which people would turn away with nor
ror.
These are only samples of the curious
suicides There are many of them, and
the number seems to be increasing rapidly
Every few days one occurs that IS SO differ
ent from any that preceded it that it
arrests attention. Indeed, there are so
many curious suicides that the suspicion is
su ggested that tue victims had strong de-
sire to be talked about after they had sew
cred their connection wit the world.
A New York paper, commenting on the
large number of suicides this year, calls at
teation 70 the fact that since Jan. l, &C
counts of more than 200 which have
occurred IN the United States have appeared
in the newspapers. If tuey con niue to oc-
cur at the same rate throughout the year
the number will be over 1000 The whole
number redcorded fo- last year was 800
There is no doubt that in this country the
rate at which suicides are Increasing is
greater THAI the rate at which population
is increasing, and the increase is largely
among the better classes. This would
seem to indicate that loss of fortune and
failure to secure wealth ana the advantages
it Is supposed to possess, are steadily increas-
ing causes of self-destruction. And the haste
to be rich sends many who are not recorded
as victims of suicide to the grave.

A startling statement comes from Eng
land, and it is that al American girl may
be the Q leeA of England some day. Queen
Victoria has just returned from visit to
the Prince and Princess of Wales, and it is
stated that one object of her visit was to
discuss the marriage pro poets of her grand
son, Prince Albert Victor, who may reach
the throne. He is Is years old, and has
not thought much of marriage. 1t is said
that the queen and his parents do not want
him to marry any one of Germ blood,
and as his wife must be a Protestant, his
choice among the European daughters of
royalty is somewhat restricted. Sir Edward
Su livan suggests that he shall marry an
Am rican girl, and the sugg esuon does not
appear TO be an objectionable one, as the
Prince # Wales was always partial to
American women. American girls will
take notice of this. and they should make it
a point not to accept for a husba ID any
foreigner who has not prospects Of succeed
ing to a throne.
