Hospital After maintaining that suicide
was less common among the Scotch, it
was perhaps hardly polite when address
ing a Scotch audience. to 60 on TO say
that suicide increased, with civiliZa ation.
But the fact was explained on The ground
OF more injurious diet that of civilized
man being more productive of uric acid
and thus Of suicide than that which pre-
walls where civilization IS less advanced.
Uric acid is in fact. at the bottom of all
this and, according to DIR. Haig, the incl
dence of suicide tallies with the daily
annual and life fluctuations of uric acid
in the blood, being commonest when uric
acid is most abundant, namely. in the
mornings in spring and in summer and
in childhood and the fun prime of life.
We have no doubt that errors of diet
are responsible for much, and, among
other things. for a certain number of sui
cides, nay, We would go further and I'D
nit that unsuitable diet. arrangement of
the proper relation between nutrition and
waste, and the consequent loading of the
tissues and the blood with abnormal pro-
ducts of metabolism. have much to do
with that ill-temper and discomfort which
lead men to lay their hands violently,
often upon their neiChbors and some
times on themselves. All this may be
taken for granted. but it is at present
far from proved that the peccant mate
rial is in all cases the same, and still
further are we from being agreed that
uric acid is the origin of the evil.

METHODIST PRoTESTANTS.
Seventeen Anniversary of th'
Formation of That ROdy.

Appropriate services were held yester-
day in all the Methodist Protestant
churches in the city in commemoration of
the SEVENTEEN anniversary of the organ
ization of the church in this country. The
anniversary took place on Saturday.
The anniversary was of especial sig
nificance in this section of the country,
inasmuch as the convention which result
ed in the formation of the church was
held in Baltimore, November II 1898, and
was attended by delegates from this city.
The first conference was known as the
Maryland conference, of which the five
District churches formed a part.
The church. early in its history, had
many supporters in the District of CO.
lumbia and its vicinity and its growth
in Washington has been steady. The de-
nomination is made up. as its name i'm
plies, of followers of Wesley, but differs
with the parent body in matters ofchurch
government. 1t has no bishops or presid-
ing elders, and the laity have full rep
resentation with the ministry in the gen.
eral and annual conferences.

FABULOUS PRICES.
New York Breaks the Record in
Realty SnIes,


(New York correspondence Chicago Record.)
The highest price ever paid for piece
of land in the United States was OBJ
tanned two years ago for a small plat on
the southwest corner of Broad and Wall
Streets, New York, when III feet was
sold for si3S67 per square foot: but last
week Benjamin D. Silliman, a Nassau
Street lawyer, refused the enormous sum
of s40O square foot for the old drug
store on the southwest corner of Broad
way and Wall Street, which makes that
the most valuable piece of property in
America. The offer amounted to $50 900
for a front foot on Broadway, and at this
rate an ordinary city lot, 25 by 100 feet,
would be worth 81, ,250,000. So far back as
1889 a little strip of ground only one foot
wide at the corner of Ninety-third Street
and Lexington Avenue was sold for 500
but that was AN exceptional case.
A number of pieces of property in New
York. however, have sold for more than
500 a square foot. The site of the old
Herald Building. at the corner of Broad
way and Ann Street was purchased by
H. o. Hayemeyer, of the Sugar Trust,
for s155.70. The site of the Hanover Ma
tional Bank, at the southwest corner of
Nassau and Pine Streets, was purchased
for s293.39. while the opposite corner was
bought by the Equitable Life Insurance
Company for $3.50 a square foot The
building known as Al Wall Street brought
$1S99l a square foot, and the corner of
Broadway and Maiden Lane sl96 40. The
Commercial Cable Company paid s149 50
a foot for the ground upon which it's
office stands, at the corner of Broadway
and New Street. Robert and William
Pinkerton, of Chicago paid se9. .46 per
square foot in 1886 for lot on New
Church Street and Trinity Place, near
Broadway.

A TRANS-PACIFIC CABLE

OUR LATEST POSSESSION
Senator CullOm VIII Say Nothing
of acknowledgements Should Re-
main in Session for Year-Fhc
Nicaragua Canal Bill.

Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, of Illinois,
chairman of the Hawaiian Commission,
reached Washington yesterday and viii at
once begin the preparation of the report
of the Commission, which he expects to
have completed in time for presentation
to Congress when it meets next month.
Concerning the labors of the Commits
sion he is quite retlcent and will not in
Innate the character Of government it has
agreed to recommend. 1t is understood.
however. that the islands will be given
delegate in Congress such as is allowed
the other Territories of the United States.
II believe Congress will have enough
before it to keep it in continuous session
for the next year said the senator last
evening. The results of the war with
Spain, the consideration of the treaty of
peace and the legislation for the govern
ment of the colonies that will be required
under that treaty will take time, in add-
ton to many other matters of great i'm
portance that Congress VIII have con-
fronting it.
IL do not believe there will be any cavi-
ing about the Hawaiian Islands. We have
acquired them through the process of an
neNation and not as an incident of war,
and the legislation that is necessary for
their government viii be enacted without
friction. There may. however be diff
ference of opinion with respect to our
other possessions. but these opinions will in
time. be wiped out. Certainty Congress
ought not to adjourn until it has finally
disposed OF these questions.
'One of the things we must do in con-
with he lax IA leila iG n
provide for the construction of a cable to
Honolulu; at least. our own interests de-
mands that this shall be done With the
Philippines in our possession, We ought to
extend this cable TO Japan and from there
TO Manila so that we should not be COM
PEELED to depend upon a line for communi-
cation in the hands of a foreign COM
pany.
The march of events has pointed out
once more the imperative necessity for
closer means of transportation between
the Atlantic and the Pacific. With pos
sessions in the middle OF the Pacific and
the Philippines under the Stars and
Stripes the arguments favoring the con-
struction of a Nicaragua Canal are more
forcibie than ever before.
Such bill will, of course. be reported
early, for Senator Morgan Is more enthu-
siastic than ever ON that subject. In
my opinion. this can and ought to be
built under Government control, and
see no reason why the proper kind of an
arrangement cannot be made with the
two governments through whose terrific
ry the canal will pass. There is no longer
any talk Of antagoRism on the part of
Great Britain. and the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty is not the bugaboo 1t was some
years ago"
