Alcohol and Suicide.

At the recent International Congress
of Psychology, Mr.. Muller gave an in
teresting historical sketch of the etc
logy of self-murder and, by means of
an elaborate series of statistics, traced
to alcohol the primary cause of its
marked increase of late years. The au
thor estimates the number of suicides in
Europe al 10000 year. thus showing
that the evil is increasing a greater
rate than the population. The most ia
vorite month for suicides is June. the
least, December; early morning is
chosen in preference to the night. while
the mocha mic class furnishes the largest
number of subjects and the peasant
the least. DR.. Muller considers brandy
the most pernicious form of alcohol, and
traces to its influence the bunting of
those weapons which in the struggle
for life are the most necessary to- Sus-
tain the conflict--Westmins Gazette.

EVANGELIST GARDNER.
His Revival at the Christian Church is
Still On.

The evangelistic services at the Chris
tan Church, at Sixteenth and L streets,
have had the vitality to endure a month
Of rain and fog. There have been about
thirty additions to the church.
Evangelist Gardner last night i'm
pressed on the audience the necessity
OF yielding obedience to Gods COM
mands, whether they seem to be rea-
sonable or not. He proved from the
history of Bible characters that the
ruin and downfall of many have been
because they did not understand the
necessity of commands which God saw
to be necessary to human life and hap
piness On the other hand, many, like
Naaman, the leper, have been saved by
obeying laws that seemed TO be unrea-

POOLROOM ORDINANCE.
1t Was Yesterday Declared Invalid
by Judge Hart.

The anti-poolroom ordinance was
knocked silly yesterday by Superior
Judge Hart, before whom was argued
the case of Al. Fielder, convicted in the
Police Court for violation of the ordi-
rance.
Various points had been raised by
the defense ON the appeal but Judge
Harris decision turned on the fatal de-
feet In the title to the ordinance, which
does not contain any reference TO the
main provision of the ordinance itself,
namely, the fact that Agricultural Park
was excepted from its operation.
Whether the case will be still further
appealed, or a new ordinance intro
duced, remains to be seen, but in either
event the poolrooms will have a chance
to get in their work for a time.
