SUICIDES IN NEW YORK.
Peculiarities of Cases In the DfHeFenf
BOroughs Are Shown In Health
Board Reports.

During the first three months of the
corporate existence of consolidated
New York LAT persons committed sui
tai 1o1 were in the borough of Manhat-
tan, in the borough of the Bronx (ter-
ritorially larger than Manhattan), 81
in Brooklyn, four in Queens and one
in Richmond. There were twice as
many suicides by opium in Brooklyn
as in Manhattan. On the other hand,
four persons in Manhattan committed
suicide by the agency, unusual, vague
Iy terrifying and sensationally uncer-
tain, of carbon monoxide." Paris
green has long been discarded as an
up-to-date poison for suicides in Man
haitian, but it was utilized in Queens.
Bnchloride of mercury commended it.
self to suicides in one borough only,
Brooklyn, and chromate of potassium
was also used in Brooklyn only. Ar
senic, as a means of self-destruction,
found favor in the borough of Manhat-
tan exclusively, and Illuminating gas
in all the boroughs except Richmond,
where a local prejudice prevails, and it
is not very extensively in use. One
suicide in New York adopted, accord
ing to the board of health reports, the
slothful way of terminating his mum
dane existence by the cocaine habit,
recalling to the mind of persons not in
official station the case of that court
jester in medieval times who, being
sentenced to death for his reasonable
contempt of the king and being al.
lowed to select the method of demise,
chose old age.
OF the lat suicides, 40 of the males
were natives of Germany, So of the
United States and six of Russia. OF
the 80 females Is were natives of the
United States. The only Scotch sui
eide was a woman. More English
women than Englishmen committed
suicide, and no Italian, Hungarian or
Bohemian women did, though the
male list from these. countries includ-
ed ten persons. Suicides by shooting
and drowning are less frequent than
formerly, and, generally speaking, the
number of suicides has fallen off, not
only in the borough of Manhattan, but
in the whole territory of the CONSOLE
dated New York.-N. Y. Sun.

pletely destroyed the entire Spanish
naval complement in Asiatic waters.
Spain sent Admiral Cervera into
American waters with the best ships
of the Spanish navy to teach the
Americans something about war. Ger
vera's squadron was soon bottled up
in the harbor of Santiago, and when an
attempt was made to escape, the ar
mored cruisers Almirante Oquendo, In
fanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya and Girls
tobal Colon, with 1000 men, all of them
war vessels Of the Maine class, were de-
stroyed in actual warfare, as the Maine
was destroyed in time of peace by Span
ish demoniacal criminality. And the
men under command of Commodore
Schley went into that fight also with
the signal flying, Remember the
Maine"
When Admiral Sampson held his first
conference with Gen. Shafter, after
plans had been agreed upon for COM
bined attack upon the city of Santiago,
Admiral Sampson said: Il hope, gen.
eral, that you will have the men under
your command as thoroughly imbued
with the desire to make the Spaniards
remember the Maine as the men of the
navy are determined to DO. Before this
campaign is over we will make those
Spanish ships in the harbor look like
the destroyed battleship in Havana har-
Dor, and every officer and man aboard
of my fleet is determined that every
shot fired shall carry with it death and
destruction to the nation which is re-
sponsible for the destruction of our
ship and the assassination of our sail
ors."
And Admiral Sampson was right.
The men under Schley's squadron of
Simpsons feet made every shot tell
and the result of their work was that
every one of the warships of Spain was
destroyed by explosions and sunken
in such a manner as to resemble the
shattered battleship. the Maine.
AS soon as Commodore Schley dis
covered Cervera's fleet in Santiago har-
Dor he began a blockade of that har.
Dor, and the statement went broadcast
through the newspapers that the Span
ish fleet was bottled up" Recently
there have been inquiries made con-
corning the origin of that expression.

EYE LANGUAGE.
More Truthful Exponent of the
Inward Thoughts Than the
Tongue.

NO part of the human countenance
engages our attention SO frequently
as the eyes. When face to face in con-
versation, we do not look at the lips
although, as a rule, the attention is
very quickly taken by any movement
but at the eyes of the person with
whom we are speaking. So much is
this the case that the habit of many
deaf people of watching the mouth al
ways strikes us as peculiar. In fact,
one usually feels that there is sense
of incompleteness in the association
of mind with mind by means of con-
interchange of glances making kind
of running commentary on the words
spoken. The same may be said of or
binary greetings when two people
shake hands. Unless there is at the
same moment a meeting of friendly
looks the ceremony loses much of it's
meaning.
Now, why is there this continual
meeting of eyes accompanying all
kinds of human intercourse? Partly.
no doubt, it is attributable to GER

the inward thoughts than the tongue,
and seeing that speech is very fre-
uuently used not to tell the thoughts
but to conceal them, we look to the

CARING FOR CROWDS.
Cincinnati Seems to Have Solved a
Great Problem.
How visitors to the Coming Grand
Army Encampment Will BE Pro-
tectcd-Unique Police and
Medical Arrangements.
Especial Cincinnati CO., letter.

The thirty-second natioal encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie promises to be replete with inter-
esting features. Four hundred of Gin
cinnati's leading citizens have been
engaged since last winter planning and
preparing these features.
Not the least interesting is the police
preparations. Cincinnati's police
force is recognized the country over
as having attained an unusually high
degree of proficiency. The city's repu-
tation in that respect is not excelled
by any other city in the country. For
many years Col. Philip Deilsch, an old
soldier, has been at the head of the po-
lice force of Cincinnati. Years of
patient and earnest endeavor on his
part, encouraged by the support of a
nonpartisan police board have enabled
him to reach present results.
AS soon as it was known that the
1898 encampment was to come to Gin

both sides of the streets over which
the veterans will march will be fol-
lowed in this city. To accomplish all
this requires no little expenditure of
money and $4,000 has been set aside
by the city authorities for arranging
for these special protective features.
From this $4,000 also will be pro-
vided an elaborate system of sanitary
regulations for public comfort. The
board of city affairs. having in mind
the health of citizens and visitors
alike, will esta blish in all sections of
the city special places of comfort TO:
men and women.
The care of visitors will not be con-
fined to their protection from fellow
creatures. Special pains will be taken
to minister to the physical wants, par
ticuiarly OF the veterans. There is now
organized a medical staff, consisting
of more than 300 reputable Cincinnati
physicians, who VIII devote their time
and talent encampment week to treat
ing sick visitors. This staff has been
organized by DR.. j. C. Culbertson, edi-
tor Of the Lancet and Clinic. He is
an old soldier and member of the
grand army, and all the ranking mem
beers of his staff are physicians who
saw active service as surgeons in the
war of 81 to '65. These physicians will
be uniformed and each will DE pro-
vided with a special medicine bag con-
tanning remedies which are of value
in cases of sudden illness.
The bags and medicine were pre-
sented to DR.. Culbertson by a prom

inent Philadelphia drug house, as
compliment to him. To make the work
of these 300 physicians practical and
effective the city will be districted and
each physician will be assigned to
certain district. One physician will
also be assigned to each school build
ing where veterans are quartered, and
will make a daily visit to see if his
services are needed. These men will
look after the general health Of the
old soldiers. Another division of the
medical corps will be assigned to
points at which large crowds are like
ly to gather, the desire being to have
medical or surgical aid always instant
ly available. Accordingly some ply
sicians will be assigned to Coney
Island, the Lagoon, Chester park and
other of the pleasure resorts. On the
boats plying to and from Coney island
still other physicians will be stationed.
On Thursday night when the fireworks
display will be given at three different
parts of the city simultaneously, q
number IF physicians will be scattered
through the crowd. Their uniforms
will be of such a nature as to plainly in
dictate their calling.
The efforts of the citizens of Gin.
cinnati along this line will not, how
ever, be confined to necessities. Be-
side the protection afforded by the
police and the physicians. committee
on public comfort will go even fur
Their and provide some of the luxuries
of life. Doing an encampment is at
best tiresome work. In other cities
1t has been no uncommon sight to see
well-dressed people sitting on the curb
stones to rest their weary limbs. In
this city 4 committee of which w. C.
johnson, a grand army veteran, is
chairman, will provide places of rest
for men and women, separately, on
nearly every square in the heart Of the
city. All vacant storerooms will be
converted into comfortable quarters
with a protusion of chairs and cots
and liberal supply of ice water.
These places will be plainly marked SO
that anyone who becomes tired on the
sidewalk can look forward or back
ward and find one within his view. In
these retreats the old soldiers can sit
down and read or write, or can take .
nap on one of the cots The places
of rest for the ladies will be in tho
churches in the downtown districts.
They will be fitted up with all the
equipments that tend to bring com
fort to a weary woman.
The one ambition of the people of
Cincinnati is to send the old soldier
and his friends home as well as they
came, and satisfied with their enter
talnment. WILL L FINCH.

Especial Washington Letter.1


T|HE WAR with Spain has quick
ened many minds to memories
u of the civil war. In private
conversations and in public prints war
stories constitute the predominant
topic; and some of the veterans tell
stories of their own recollections of the
Mexican war, while others narrate in
stances told them by their fathers con-
corning the movements of troops and
individual acts of heroism in the war
of 1912.
Everybody is proud of the new navy
of this country, and every conversation
concerning the war bears primarily up
on the work which has been done by
Dewey, Bagiey, Hobson, Schley and the
other officers and men on our warships
It is well known that all of the men
of the navy have determined from the
first that Spain in particular and the
whole world in general should remem-
Der the destruction of the battleship
Maine in the harbor at Havana on the
night of February IS, 1898. When Ad-
miral Dewey, regardless OF contact and
other mines in Manila harbor, started

lery equipments in Montejo's fleet.
The signal of Admiral Dewey was re-
sponded to by the cheers of every man
under his command, and with vivid
recollection of the disaster and outrage

oinnati, Chief Deitsch began planning
for year hence. He recognized the
fact that the city's present force, while
ample protection in ordinary times,
was not sufficient to cope with the
large crowds to be found at every en-
campment. Not in years has an en-
Campment been held at which Cncin-
rati did not have at least three or four
detectives to assist the department
il the encampment city. These ex-
perienced men Chief Deitsch decided
to make the nucleus around which
to build large and adequate force of
thief-takers to work in conjunction
with the police proper.
The standing force consists of $50
policemen. From these Chief Dietsch
selected so of the oldest and most re-
liable men, their record for arrests and
brilliant captures of men wanted in
other cities being taken into considera-
ton. For the past six months these
so men have been in constant training
for detectives. Cincinnati has an I'M
usually complete rogues' gallery, where
pictures of every noted criminal in the
be found. Cincinnati was also one of
the first American cities to adopt the
Bertillion. system Of Identifying Grim
inals, Chief Deitsch being to-day at the
head of the national Bertillion system.
With these two ample records of rogues'
make-ups to study, the so picked men
are to-day experienced detectives at
least in that part of the art Of picking
out criminals, which is so essential at
a large gathering. These so men
added to the already large pres
ent force were placed under
the direct charge of Chief of De-
tectives Larry Hazen. The force is now
we'll organized, and at least a week be-
fore the encampment they will be sta
toned at all the depots, hotels and on
frequented thoroughfares to intercept
such members of the ight-6ngered
gentry as may venture to Cincinnati to
ply their nefarious trade. With such a
well-organized force of detectives to
come in contact with, it is safe to say
that few of those who do yield to the
temptation to visit Cincinnati the first
week in September will remain in the
city long after learning the exhaustive
preparations made for their capture.
The force of patrolmen will also be
greatly augmented and will include all
private watchmen of the city. These
men are also receiving special weekly
instructions to put them in readiness
for the encampment work. It is safe
to say that at least 1000 patrolmen
AMI detectives will be on duty to guard
the hundreds of thousands of visitors
expected from all parts of the coun-
try.
In addition to this general police
p, election arrangements have been
made to extend special protection to
the veterans who will occupy free
Quarters in the school buildings of the
city. Two special officers will be as
signed to each building, each stand
ing watch IL hours. They will be un-
der the supervision of an officer of the
day for each building. The usual plan

RomE's INTEREST IN SPAIN
Rev. R. d. Graham Credits the
Pope With Influence Here

There was n large attendance at
tho afternoon meeting of the Bap-
fists yesterday. The Rev. Robert
ID. Graham spoke on the Cuban
situation and the relation to it of
the United States. He painted
tho horrors of the barbarous war
fare waged there in vivid colors.
He quoted statistics showing the
immense number of non-eom bat
ants that have persisted by starva-
tion on the island, to say nothing
of the revolutionists' sufferings.
The history of Spain was re-
viewed, and Mr. Graham spoke
plainly of the atrocious cruelty
that has always characterized the
Spaniard's course. He referred to
the civilizations that they have
wantonly destroyed on this con-
tinent, such rs that of the Aztecs.
He mentioned tho barbarities Of
the Inquisition and finally drew
the conclusion that the apparent
unwillingness of the United States
government to aid Cuba is charge
able not to the money power of
this country but to the Vatican.
