How Suicides are Made.
Hospital T

Hospital.
It. is commonly believed that the
tendency to suicide, like the tendency
to maddess, runs in families, and that
is no doubt true. But the strongest
minded and clearest-headed man in
the world has the possibility Of suicide
in him. On the other hand, the dis
position to madness aud suicide, which
is so decided a characteristic Of some
families, is, in many cases, easily to be
kept at bay by resolution and intelli-
gence on the part of particular indi-
viduals. So that, in most cases, if the
story of suicide be read from the
very beginning, the full responsibility
must be placed upon the victim him
self. In our own time the pressure OF
highly civilized environment urges
men in the direction of brain weari-
ness and so of disgust with life. But it
is TO be borne in mind that no man is
compelled to enter into the keenest
competitions of his age. The brain is
fairly mature before the age of twenty
five; and before that age few educated
men are married, and fewer still are
irrevocably committed to particular
calling or way of life. A young man
of average intelligence is then quite
able to judge his own intellectual force
and staying power, and he is also able
to take into consideration the history
of his family and his own inherited
tendencies. It is incumbent upon him
at that stage to take stock Of his mental
and physical resources exactly as he
takes stock of his capital. If his availa-
money amount to no more than one or
two thousand pounds, he would con-
slider himself a mailman were he to
embark in a business requiring cap
ital of half million. But is he not
Just as much 4 madman if, with
mind of merely average powers, he en-
ters upon line of life requiring an in
tellect of the strongest and clearest
order and mental endurance OF the
most persistent kind? A young man
acting thus invites brain worry, in
vites chronic dyspepsia, invites sleep
lessness; throws the door wide open
for the entrance of all the physiological
foes that destroy health and drive SAN
ity out of the home.

CLEVELAND IS OUT OF THE RACE.
He Will Not Allow his Name to Go Before
the Democratic National Convention of
1S92--Hls Decision Irreyocable.
Especial to The State.

WASHINGTON, February l9.-The
Post in the morning, specializing on the
next Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, will say: Mr.. Cleveland is
not a candidate for denomination for
the Presidency, and will not allow his
name to be presented to the Democratic
National Convention Of 1892. The Post
makes this statement on high author
ity, and its truthfulness will, in due
time, be we'll established. His decision
in the matter was made known to close
political friends some days ago, and the
formal announcement of his intentions
will reach the country over his own
name in proper season.
Although the use of Mr.. Cleveland's
name in connection with the next
Presidential nomination has been gene
raj, and may have predicted that he
would be the unanimous choice of his
party, he had, until less than thirty
days ago, maintained silence on the
subject, believing that the exigencies
of the political situation were such as
not to call for an expression from him.
When be made known to his intimate
friends in New York his determination
in the matter, they used every argyll
ment to induce him to change his
mind, but found his decision irrevoca-
bic. His determination was fixed and
unalterable, and while he assured his
friends that he felt as keen I; interest
in the success Of the Democ ,ic party
as ever before, and would respond to
any reasonable call upon him in the
future, he emphasized the fact that it
must be as private in the ranks, and
not as a candidate.
So resolute was Mr.. Cleveland in this
interview with his friends that they
abandoned all hope of inducing him to
again become candidate, and have
since had conference with prominent
party men with view to uniting upon
some other Democrat in 1892. Whether
that man will be Hill, or German, or
Abbot, or Whitney, or whether it will
be Democrat from a Western State,
is, of course, problematic.

Where the Watch Face Got Its Four ps.s.
From the St. Louis Republic.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Do you know why four "I's" are
used to mark the hours on clocks and
watches instead of the usual combina-
tion of Roman numerals, which, If
rightly arranged, would be ~, instead
of IIII? There is a tradition among
watch and clock makers to the effect
that prior to the year 1870 all clocks
and watches were made with w, the
proper characters to mark the hour of
four. In the above-named year clock
was made on an elaborate plan fors
Charles V of France, surnamed The
Wise, who had the reputation of being
not only crank, but of being the great
est faultfnder in the world. The clock
was beauty and fine timekeepcr,9
but Charles had to find fault in order
to keep up his reputation. He exam
ined it critically and finally broke out
in storm of rage because the hour Of
4 had been marked "IV" insisting
that four HIS should be put On in-s
stead. This was done, and, in order to J
perpetuate kings mistake, has been
kept up through all succeeding years.

CONyICTS IN PENITENTIARIES.
The Native White Population Furnishes
Less than One-third.

WASHINGTON, February l6.-Saper-
intendent Porter Of the Census Bureau
to-day issued q bulletin upon the sub
ject Of convicts in penitentiaries. IT.
shows the number of convicts in State
prisons and penitentiares in the
United States on June !, 1890, to have
As, 233. The number reported in 1880
was 30,659, an increase in ten years of
1856, or 27.2S per cent. The incref Sc
in the total population was 24.s6 per
cent. 1t thus appears that the peniZ
tentiary population is growing some
what more rapidly than the population
at large, but the difference is not very;
appreciable. The number of leased
prisoners in tie South has almost
doubled in ten years. In respect to
color, the bulletin shows 80, 546 white
and Il, $751; colored; of the latter, 1927
were negroes. 237 Chinese, 8 japanese,
and $50 Indians. ~7E7
In respect of nativity not including
the colored convicts, who may all be-
supposed to be natives except the Chi
nese and japanese, Of the 80, ,5448 white
convicts, 1904 are native born 1851
foreign born, and the place of BIRTH
1S5 is unknown; 1882 had both pa
rents native 1,747 had one parent ma
tive and one parent foreign born
1854 had both parents foreign born s
and in 1921 cases the birthplace of one
of both parents is unknown. Tito the
1882 native convicts born of native
parents is added one-half of the NUM-
ber with one parent foreign born, the
the sum is 13,715.6. If to the 6,5S4s5
native convicts born of foreign parents
is added an equal amount the sum is
7,45L5. But to this latter figure must
also be added 7,267 foreign-born con-
victs, which gives result 14,724.5.
In other words, of 1927 penitentiary
eonvicts whose birthplace and paren-
tage are known, the foreign-born eie- $
ment of the population furnished A.,
725, the colored population 14,6S7, end
the native white population, which
probably out numbers them both, only
1915.
In respect of sex, 49, ,442 penitentiary
convicts are men and 1871 are womep..
The percentage of women is somewhat
less than it was ten years ago. Itthen
slightly exceeded As per cent. of the
total number, but now it falls trife
below 4 per cent.
