Mrs. George Nelson Hangs Herself
to Bedpost.

Mrs. George Nelson. a middle-aged wo-
man of whom little is Kn own, committed
suicide yesterday by hanging herself to a
bedpost in her room at the New Arlington
Hotel, 1918 Market street. 1t was a little
rear room, scantily furnished, on the top
floor Of the house.
Mrs. Nelson came TO the hotel about
three weeks ago and registered. She was
not seen again by Mrs. Babbitt, the land
lady, until one week ago, when she said
that she could not pay her rent and begged
permission to remain a few days longer.

She had torn a narrow strip of cloth
from the sheet and made moose, which
she adjusted to her neck, tying the other
to the post. Then she knelt known and
awaited death by strangulation.
Mrs. Nelson had suffered from neuralgia
headaches and was utterly destitute and
friondless. An empty purse. pawn
ticket and few toilet articles were found
in her room. Mrs. Rabbit told the Coro-
ner that her dead lodges was very lady
like. She apparently had no friends, as
no one was seen to visit her room.

What Fnrmers Really Suffer From.

The distress of the farmer has been
described over and over again in so many
ways that "A strong opinion has grown
up that the tiller Of the soil has been
left far behind in the struggle for COM
fort and competence. The Hon. J. Ster-
ling Morton. Secretary of Agriculture
takes occasion in the June number Of
the Forum to show that this is a fallacy
Seventy per cent. OF the farmers In the
United States are unencumbered by any
indebtedness; their owners are still the
home-builders and the home-lovers of the
land. as this cless has always been, and
Mr. Morton POINTS out how, as In pre-
ceding generations. nearly all Of our
Presidents were called from their farms
TO executive duties. and consequently the
famers represented the better element OF
our life-so, now also, the farmer Is the
most independent and prosr eroUs Of all
the large classes of our people. He ex-
plains the growth Of the story OF their
distress by showing that a few farmers
have left their furfow to fellow the
false prophets of politics. II is the po-
litical farmer. who is really a politician
and not n farmer at all, that has done all
this evil. Mr.. Morton goes over the
whole ground TO show the relative i'm
portance and independence of the agri-
cultural class, and their influence on
the community at every stage OF our
