FITCHBURGH & WEST SHORE,
VIM. Huston and E. A. paImer's Experience.

VIM. Huston and E. A. Palmer's Experience.
There is no body of men who labor more
hours continuously than railroad men. So
constant and firing are their responsible du-
ties that there are few who do not suffer from
overwork and nervous troubles, and it does
not take long before the strongest constitu-
tion gives way to the ravages of disease. Dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, urinary and kidney
troubles have incapacitated many man that
could have been saved il the proper precau-
ton had been taken.
Engineer VIM. Huston, of the West Shore
Railroad, says: "For years l suffered from
kidney trouble and dyspepsia; at times was
in so much pain, / thought would have to
give up my engine. l had been under the
treatment of various physicians, but derived no
benefit. Finally, one day Conductor Frazer,
OF our road, said to me, Huston, get bottle OF

SUICIDE IN FRANCE.
Poverty Every Year Drives Four Thousand
People to Seek Relief In Death.

People to Seek Relief In Death.
Statistics of suicide, alluded to by the
London Standards Paris correspondent,
show that during the last four years co.
600 persons have in France put an end to
their own lives. In Italy, with a popula-
ton almost equal to that of France, the
number of suicides during the same period
has not exceeded 5000 In seeking the
reason for this great difference the well
known Partisan journalist, M. Henri Fou-
quier explains that in Italy the Roman
Catholic religion is still strongly rooted in
the population, and that it acts as deter
rent against self destruction.
Formerly in Italy the body Of a suicide
was dragged through the streets and then
exhibited on gibbet. Moreover, II Italy
is not SO rich country rs France, poverty
there is less severely felt and more easy
to bear than in France, thanks to the Ital-
ian sunshine and blue sky. 1t is estimat-
ed that perhaps quarter of the population
of Naples, for instance, live in state OF
poverty which could not be borne by
workman in Paris or in the towns Of the
north of France In addition to this
mendicity is not in Italy regarded as either
shameful or humiliating.
poverty prevailing in Italy, M. Fouquier
is not astonished that it should lead but
few persons to commit suicide. M. Foul
quier points out that in Italy self destruc-
ton is in most cases the denouement Of o
love drama, whereas In France, out Of an
average of $500 suicides year, there are
notmore than about 800 that can be classed
as suicides of passion. In France money,
or rather the lack of 1t, is the cause of self
destruction.
NJ. Fouquier considers that some 2, 900
suicides year may be due to insanity,
but he points out that it is now demon
strated by the statistics that in France
1000 persons year-that is to say, about
ten persons day-hang, drown or stif1e
themselves with the fumes of charcoal or
blow out their brains because they are
ruined, because they are prosecuted by
their creditors, because they cannot earn
enough to procure food and are dying Of
starvation.

DR.. Hotchkiss possessed many striking
peculiarities, among them being a natural
aversion to water. He is said by those

with dry sand. He believed that diseases
were caused by plus or minus rays of
light, which the system absorbed i'll diff
ferent quantities, and the rays contain
ing different prismatic colors constituted
the component parts of the human or

WHEN TO DINE.
What Is Dinner Time?-It Depends Alto
gether ON Where One Lives.

gether on Where One Livess
In America dinner time with the great
majority of people-those who live upon
the farms and in the smaller towns-is
between 12 and o'clock. Their dinner
hour is almost exactly that of princes and
noblemen in Shakespeare's time. Many
lines in his works prove that all the world
dined, at that epoch, in tho middle Of the
day.
But in many Of the larger towns and
cities of this country, and especially In
New England, the ordinary dinner hour
Is rather nearer 2 O'Clock than any other
hour. The regulation hour in Boston Is
supposed to be 2 O'Clock, though many
business men dine little earlier, and
many others, including tho more fashion
able, do not dino until @.
In New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia
and other great cities still larger proper
ton Of tho people do not dine until 9 or
nfterward, and in Washington the Q
O'Clock dinner Is SO universal that o few
years ago public man who went from
the country, and who wished to retain his
custom Of dining In the middle of tho oay,
could find but one restaurant In the city,
and that one not at all to his mind, where
he could get q dinner at or 2.
In Europe the dinner hour in the cities
and towns Is always late In the day, Tor,
though In many country districts the
common people still eat their chief meal
in the middle of tho day, the dinner hour
of society never comes before s. And ~
England the fashionable hour II o'ciocA

silverItes at work.

SAX FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE Call
says: The silverites, that is, such as
have been somewhat reproachfulIy
dubbed ''The one-issue men," are act
lively at work forming straight out and
out silver party in this state. They pro-
pose to make the coming here of A. J.

mittee of the American bimetallic party !;
Congressman G. O. Sibley of PennsyIva-
mia, and Senator w. W. Stewart of Ne
vada, the occasion for a general concen-
tration of sympathizers in one distinct
movement. These three champions of
the white metal, with the addition, per-
haps, of Senator j. P. Jones. who is now
at Santa Monica, are booked for grand
mass meeting in San Francisco in the
near future, and then it is expected the
silverltes will have most favorable op-
portunity for effective proselytlng.
There has already been an emissary here
from Los Angeles, where the nucleus for
the new silver party has come into exis-
tence, whose mission has been to ascer-
tain the temper of leading populists,
and such members of the republican
and democratic parties as might be in
duced to affiliate with the movement.
This gentleman is Alva Udell, land
attorney of Los Angeles. He has per-
formed his task, and is now ready to re-
port to the executive committee of the
Silver League.
movements like ours are being initi-
ated all over the country" said Mr..
Udell. "We expect, of course, that a
national movement will be developed
out of them all, and if the national
movement is true to this paramount
issue of money reform, we shall cooper
ate with it as the distinctivelY silver
party in this state"

common that very few people, unless it
