SUICIDE AND THE SEXES.
It IL More Frequent With Men and IL
Destined to Increase with Women.

At the present day man is much more
prone TO suicide than woman. This is true
of man in regard TO epilepsy, crime and
other .marked signs of degeneration. But
IL has been observed that as woman ap-
proaches man in her mode of life she also
becomes more familiar with those abnor-
NAL conditions which have previously
been peculiar to man. The comparative
immunity of woman from self destruction
IN the past has depended greatly upon tho
relatively less harassing part she has taken
in the struggle for life Today II Is differ
ent. Now woman occupies the fields OF
art, literature, finance and even politics,
and, as she goes deeper into these voca-
tions, she must expect TO suffer the conse-
quences. Already IL Is noticeable that
feminine suicide is not now entirely due
20 the sentimental causes of disappointed
love- desertion and jealousy, but To those
trials of more material order such as
have led men TO the act of self destruction.
Imitation far exceeds any other OF what
are called trivial causes OF suicide and
asserts itself more in woman than in man.
1t is much more common than IL supposed.
When self destruction becomes epidemic,
as IL sometimes does, its prevalence very
largely depends upon imitation. 1t is said
that many years ago the wall of Thomas
Hood over thy one more unfortunate"
brought many "a sentimental person TO
watery grave in the Thames, and in our
own day the vivid representation OF sui
eide upon the stage under conditions APP
pealing forcibly 20 the imagination has

Got the Wrong Leg.
Atlanta Constitution

Abraham Sprawls was veteran
of three wars, and he used to live.
in wiregrass Georgia. He had lost
one leg in battle, and walked
around on a wooden stump One
day he got IN the way of the fast
mail, and the engine ran over him.
One of his sons-and he had a.
family of fifteen-had witnessed
the accident and, running toward
him, shouted:
''Train cut off dads leg, and
he'll git damages! !"
He lifted the old man to inspect
his wounds, but suddenly let him
fall, saying, in tone cf disgust: !:
"Darn it all! It's his wooden
leg they've cut Off
"Yes," groaned the old man, as
they wheeled him home, "it's just
my durned luck. Can't see, ter
save me. how they missed the
good leg!"

Financiers and Railroad Men Interested In the
COmpany's Annual Election.
Baltimore Sun

Baltimore Sun.
Financial and railroad circles
are much interested i'll the annual
meeting of the Seaboard and Roam
oke Railroad Company, which is
to be held at Portsmouth, Va,
October 5th. The Injunction Sc
cured In Portsmouth Monday re-
stralnlng Thomas f. Ryan and his
associates from voting stock at
this meeting adds to the interest.
This injunction was obtained by
Mr.. Leigh r. Watts. general coun-
sci of the Seaboard Air Line. Of
which the Scaboard and Roanoke
Is the parent company.
Mr.. Watts was in Baltimore
yesterday and had a long confer
ence with President r. Curzon
Hoffman, of the Seaboard Air
lime. 1t has been rumored that
there would be important changes
in the directory of the Seaboard
and Roanoke at the annual meet
ing and that the Ryan Syndicate
may be recognized. 1t was stated
yesterday by those in authority
that no such a plan is in comtem-
plation and that the only change
to be made in the board will be
the selection of Il citizen of North
Carolina to succeed Mr.. W. w.
Fuller, formerly of Durham, N. c..
Mr.. Fuller has removed to New
York. He is said to be in full ac-
cord with the present management
and has been of much service to
the system. The reelection of
the present board assures the re-
election of President Hoffman and
the continuance of the present
management. It is believed that
the Ryan syndicate has rot given
] up It's efforts to secure control of
the system. This syndicate, by
reason of the close relations be.
tween Mr.. Ryan and the dominant
interests in the Southern Railway
is generally regarded as represent.

roads are strong competitors fol

against each other. Seaboard peo

This controversy has brough
out an interesting point in rela
ton to the stock held in the pool
It was the impression that thi
stock was tied up for five years
and that during that time it woult
be voted by the pooling commit
tee. This is a mistake, as th
stock can be voted by the owner
and the pooling committee exer
cises only the right Of prox

just been at the school to give the
Scripture lesson, and he has been
as tiresome as it was possible for
a child to be. Mrs. Flint brought
him down herself this morning,

ry that she had got him there!"
"But | think that music will be

"you should have seen his face

"Ah! yes; that is all very we'll ;
but I would much rather that he
did not sit near the choir; it will

boys upset" P"
If he does not behave well he
shall never come again, ," said
Kate; 'but l thought it seemed to
be the one chance of getting hold
of him"
Mr.. Lewis did not pursue the
subject; he thought the expert
ment very doubtful one, but he
did not like to be too discourage
ing, and so he left the matter fol
the present.
Mrs. Flint would have probably
refused to believe JOS story

call for him on the next Sunday
