The grewsome theory of Paille, the
French philosopher. that the month of June
is the month of suicides. is borne out here
abouts in rather startling manner by the
police records of yesterday. No less than
five persons attempted self-destruction.
Three OF them were women, and the causes
yariously ascribed are unrequited love, de-
spondency and the frenzy caused by strong
drink. OF the five, three succeeded In. end
ing lives that had become burdcnsome. The
wave of suicide was the second one during
this month. Paille tells that in the ma
ture OF every human being there lies DOR
mant an inherent germ which impels ire
sfstibly toward death self-infiicted: that the
germ is small and weak in some human or
ganisms, and strong and active In others,
and that in all OF the human family 1t
reaches its greatest development between
June and June 90 The French philosopher
goes exhaustively into the subject. and even
tries 10 justify the propagation OF that Pc
culiar part OF the ego OF man which tells
him to destroy that which he cannot give.
Whether his theory be true or false, IL n,

and vicinity are concerned there is no doubt
that we have passed are passing,
