VISITS THE SICK SOLDIERS.
President Mckinley Surprises Officers at
Fort Meyer.

Fort Meyer
Washington, Sept. 3O-Presidcnt
Mckinley this afternoon made per-
sonal inspection OF the hospital at
Fort Meyer, Va. Accompanied bv
Adjutant General Corbin, the pres
idcnt left the white house at 1880 D.
m. and drove unannounced to the
fort. He proceeded directly to the
hospital and, introducing himself to
Major Davis, the United States army
surgeon in charge OF the hospital,
and Informed him that he had come
to make an inspection of the institu-
tion and to pay his respects to the
patients and those in charge.
Major Davis, the patients and at
tendants alike were surprised and
gratiied at the honor shown them by
the president, and he was afforded
every opportunity to make thorough
examination of the hospital. The
president passed an hour and a half
in the various wards and departments
Of the institution, going from cot to
cot and extending a personal greet
ing to each OF nearly 400 patients.
Major Davis presented him to each
Of the assistant surgeons and nurses
and subsequently the president talked
informally to the couyalescent pa
tients. ".~
The president carefully inspected
the kitchen and examined the food
supplied to the patients. At the
conclusion OF the examination he cx-
pressed his satisfaction at the ar
rangcmcnts made for the care Of the
sick, but desired it to be understood
that the patients were to want for
nothing that would make them COM
Portable or improve their condition.
The patients were particularly we'll
pleased at the visit Of the president,
and Major Davis said, as the party
left the hospital, that it would do
more to cheer up the sick men than
any quantity Of medicine. .-~

clded to leave the nominations in the
hands OF the central committee in
the hope Of getting together on new
terms, and adjourned, also somewhat
precipitately. They nominated @.
M. Holmes Of Great Falls for clerk Of
the supreme court by acclamation.
The populist and silver republican
platforms are practically Identical.
The body of each is the same. The
silver republicans adopted an addenda
endorsing President McKinlev:s CON
duct OF the war, and the populists
added postscript endorsing the
Initiative and referendum.

| the Deer LOd0n count

In the Deer Lodge county demo-
cratic convention at Anaconda, Mr..
Durston, editor OF the Standard, had
a list of six men for representatives
already prepared before the convcn-
tion met, and as soon as the time
came for nominations the slate was
laid before the body and it was rail
roaded through il. spite Of protests.
That is a new way Of selecting d
ticket, and it wouldn't work in most
counties.

SUICIDES AND DIVORCE.

SUICIDES AND DIVORCE.
Theory Of an Italian Professors Concerning
the Relation Of the Two.
The success of Professor Lom broso'
as student OF economics and Grim
inology has led to the development
of school Of italian scientists who
combine science with statistics and
statistics with science. One Of these
j. DR.. Morselli, who has claimed the
rights Of discovery in new prin-
ciple that suicide and divorce are
closely related, and that, in fact,
divorce is the chief cause Of suicide.
He finds in Germany, where sui
cides are more frequent than in any
other country, that in term of
years 81 married women, 81 young
girls, 124 widows and 34S divorced
or separated women committed sui
eide out of total of 620 cases.
In other words, more than half
the suicides among women in Ger
many were divorced Or separat-
ed women. The inference drawn by
DR.. Morselli from this is that sew
erance Of matrimonial association,
either by formal process Of law or
otherwise, has disastrous effect
upon the women SO separated. And
the figures Of DR.. Morselli show, in
fact, the same thing among the male
suicides Of Germany. Of 1000 male
suicides 204 were married men, 274
unmarried men, 88S wiilowcrs and
2,644 divorced or separated men.
From these figures, too, the conclu-
sion is irresistible to DR.. Morselli
that married mon, in Germany at
least, are not prone to suicide, and
men who have been married. but
divorced, are the chief suicides.
This view of tho case has the merit
of novelty at least, for heretofore
contrary view, based on the figures
and conclusions Of Legoyt, has pre-
vailed. Legoyt's claim was that in
all countries the rate of suicide
among unmarried people was high
er than among married people, and
he said that the value of domestic
ties as q restraint against suicide is,
shown in the fact that persons with
children are much less disposed to
it than those who have none" Le-
goyt showed that 81 per cent Of the
suicides Of France were unmarried
people, Sc per cent in Italy and 81
per cent III Germany. The number
Of suicides among married people
was per cent less in Germany than
in France, and it is a fact well
known and acknowledged by all
students Of suicide and Of rnortuary
figures that the proportion of chill
dren to families is larger in Ger
many than it is in France, and the
number of childless married couples
is larger in France than it is in Ger
many This seems to bear out the
accuracy of the claim Of Legoyt and
perhaps to some extent to corrobo-
rate the claim of Morselli, for di-
vorces are much more frequent
among married couples who are
ohildless than among those who:
have children.
Another fact Of general knowl-
edge which seems to corroborater
too, the view of Morselli is that in
Ireland, where practically divorce is,
unknown, the ratio Of suicides is,
less than i'll any other country. III
Denmark, on the other hand, where:
the proportion of divorces is high
est, the proportion of suicides to the
population is highest also, and there
may therefore be such a connection
between divorce and suicides as the
Italian economist claims to, have
discovered.-NewY York Sun.

A valet 10 the place Of maid Is
said to be the latest instance of mau
usurping woman's sphere. The
usurpat ions reported are not yet
numerous-only two, In fact. But
they are spoken OF with such enthus-
iasm-by the mistresses, not the sup
planted maids-that other cases are
extremely probable. One OF these
niistresses Is said TO be New York
bachelor woman, who recently re-
turned from Europe leading, as 10
were, In triumph a young French
peasant about twenty years old. She
announced that he vas her valet and
that he was worth two or three
maids. The other woman, In an
emergency, borrowed japanese valet
from friend OF her husbands, and
found her new acquisition so great a
comfort that she begged the accomo-
dating friend to extend the loan in
definitely, With wonderful un 'elhsh-
