THE SUICIDE CLUB.
duced.

The telegram last week announcing the
self-destructioa at Bridgeport, Conn, of
JOHN KIENzY, and saying he was a member
of the Suicide club, did not give the partic-
ulars of that novel society 1t seems, from
an account published in the Bridgeport
Farmer that the club was organized about
three years ago with five members. The
membership has not increased, and is not
likely to, as cran1s seldom run in crowds.
1t seems that these five, half jokingly and
half earnestly, agreed that some one of
them should commit suicide on each meet
ing year until all were gone They further
agreed that the club should hold meetings
annually, when they should decide by bal
lot, individual inclination or otherwise,
which one was next to ''shuffle off this NOR
tai coil" According to the Farmers ac-
count, friends of the manifestly insane
men say that at the time the Suicide club
was organized the members were not in
toXicated, and none Of them had shown any
signs of being unbalanced. 1t is known
that the club held several meetings since it
was organized, but the members al
ways refused to divulge what bust
ness was transacted at their con
claye. HENRY JANSEN, the president o the
Suicide club, who kept saloon on Gold
street, was the first member to make way
with himself. He put himself out of the
world by his own hands about two years
ago. The next member to commit suicide
was VIM NICKEL, the sign painter who
cut his throat Whether he did this of his
own impulse or whether his death had been
decreed in council, the other members re
fused to say. At this juncture friends of
the surviving members began to look upon
the matter as something very serious, and
urged them to give up their mad scheme.
Their pleadings were received coldly, how
ever, by two of the surviving members. but
the third, a well-known German resident
OF West Stratford, acceded to the
earnest wishes of his friends and tend
cred his resignation to the society.
The other two members called him
coward, and said he resigned because he
felt confident that he would be the next

wANAMAKER SAT DOWN UPON.

President HARRISON has now walked
over another of his cabinet, this time
! trampling on the man who paid more for
his place than was ever before paid for a
seat at the cabinet table. OF course it will
be understood that we refer to the post
master-general. Mr. WANAMAKER, some
time ago, requested that the President
would delay the application of the civil ser
vice rules to the railway mail service, the
desire of the postmaster general being to
get rid of the Democrats who had been
placed in the service during Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS administration. HARRISON assented
and WANAMAKER has worked industriously,
winning the champion badge for removing
Democrats. Commissioner LYMAN, of the
civil service commission, having informed
the President that the state lists of the APP
plicants were ready, General HARRISON has
instructed WANAMAKER, beginning next
Wednesday, to appoint from these lists.
The postmaster general pleaded for more
time, there remaining in the service a few
Democrats, it having been impossible to
get rid of them all in two months without
bringing disaster. The President how
ever, was lneNOrdDle, ana Oelng master
WANAMAKER will have to surrender,
grievous as it is, first, to be squatted
upon, and second, to see a Democrat
drawing pay fron the government
for faithful service. Having sat squarely
down on two members of the cabinet, and
awed the others into willing subordination,
General HARRISON is fast impressing it
upon the country that he is President of
the United States in fact, as well as in
name, and that he is also master of the ex-
ecutive family with which he has sur
rounded himself.
The propriety of bringing the railway
service within the operation Of the civil
service law may be doubted, but having
determined on it, nobody viii doubt the
propriety of the President seeing that it is
done. There are some places in the gov
eminent service to which it is well enough
to apply the civil service law, but the rail
way mail service is not one Of them. How
ever, when crankiness gets into legislation
the country and individuals must suffer.

INTEMPERATE CRITICISM.

1t is wrong to charge, as some of oUr con
temporaries are doing, that because Mas
sachusetts has voted with emphasis against
prohibition. that the people of that state
are given over to intemperance, that the
odd commonwealth is on the down grade. .
and that the 'once proud people of the old
Puritan stronghold are degenerating into
drunkards and infdels." Talk like this
comes under the general head Of rot =
The vote in Massachusetts, last week on
the prohibitory amendment does not
imply that the people are given
to whisky-drinking and drunkenness.
1t does not mean that they are more intern
perate than other people, nor that they pro
pose to shield the traffic in liquor from such
reasonable and well-directed assaults as the
laborers in the temperance cause may choose
to lay against it. in our opinion the vote
should be interpreted in this way: a con-
siderable proportion Of the Massachusetts
people axe opposed to the proposition that

IT'S the boast of c.

IT Is the boast of Corporal TANNER that
by one ruling he has added fully 10000
names to the pension list. The ruling re
ferred to was the one where the commits
sioner held that the mother of a runaway
negro in the service of the United States,
who was killed or died, is entitled to a pen
sion and arrearages. The reasoning is
that as the sons earnings, as slave, went
to his master, and as the master supported
the mother, the boy contributed to the
mothers support, and, therefore, the
mother is entitled to a pension. If the cor
poral goes on making such logical rulings,
President HARRISON will be apt to put him
in the late STANLEY MATTHEW'S place on
the supreme court bench, and Congress
will study how to get a surplus to be re
duced.

member selected to die. When the club
was organized JOHN KIENzY, who com
mittep suicide Monday, was elected vice
president and upon President JENsEN's
death, KIENzY assumed the presidency of
the club and held it until the time of his
death. There is left only one member of
the original combination outside of the one
who resigned, and ne is in bust
ness in Bridgeport Friends of JOHN
KIENZY say that suicidal inclinations have
been apparent from his talk and actions for
the past two years, and that on numerous
occasions he had threatened to kill both his
wife and himself. Mrs. KIENZY, however,
instead of becoming alarmed and deserving
him, humored his within IN every instance,
and thus probably delayed the commission
of the act.

New HAMPSHIRE has achieved the dis
tinction of the champion divorce state in
the union. Prior to 1870 the record of di-
vorces there was not kept, but since that
year there has been steady increase,
though there was a slight Improvement in
il 1887 over 1856, the number OF divorces in
the first mentioned year being ffty-seven
less than in 1886. From 1882 TO 1857, inclu
sive, 1000 divorces were decreed in New
Hampshire. In 1888 there was one divorce
TO every 12S marriages; in 1884, one to1O.4;
in 1855, one TO 1919: in 1886, one to SO, and
in 1887, one to l0.7. No other state shows
such a divorce record. In 1887 there were
500 births, 3,49O marriages, and 6,479
