enough. In one respect only did 1897
make a better showing than 1S96-the
number of murders in the United States
fell from 1852 to $500. The number of |
lynchings rose from 131 to 166, but this /

There were 146 lynchings in the South
and 20 in the North. OF the victims 122
were colored. 80 were white and were
Indians. SiXty-nine were lynched for
murder, and %, the next largest num-
Der, for crimes against women.
AS to suicides, the total number in
this country in 1897 was 5000, an in
crease of so. The list includes actors,
laws, editors, business men and even
10 clergymen, but physicians, for some
unexplained reason. are the most nu-
merous. as in the past. The causes of
