SUICIDE AND CIVILIZATION.
The More Progress the More There Is
 of Self-Destruetion.

Felix Adler, the New York ethical clergyman, says of suicides: Suicides are on the increase in the present cen tury They have tripled in number in the last one hundred years. It Is the disease of civilization, increasing in numbers with the progress of eiviliza- ton. Germany. where civilization has reached the highest point on earth. is the blackest spot in this respect. It Is the same story as you proceed from the less to the more liberal creed " aere the population of community is made up purely of the Russian church there are 40 suicides to the mil- lion; where the people are purely of the Catholic faith there are 5S to the million; in Protestant communities there are 190 to the million. External conditions appear to have much to do with the act. There are more suicides fn wet weather than in dry, more by night than by day. more on moonlight nights than on dark nights, and there are three times more men to die by their own acts than women I ean- not sit in judgment on those who have done this deed; I cannot enter into their inner life. But I warn all who think of freeing themselves from this life that they have no right to do it. The duty of progress compels us to remain-we must stay. We are here to solve the problems of life, not to eYads them. We are here to fulfill our task, not to leave 1t unfinished. We must make the soul victorious over the senses, and we do that not by eyading pain but by conquering it.

Where Goldfish Are propagated.

About three miles south of St. Jos eph, on the King Hill road, is located one of the Missouri state fish hatch cries. It's chief interest lies in the fact that it is the only place in the state or in the country anywhere, where goldfish are propagated and dis tributed. Here these little aquarium beauties may be obtained for mere thank you" and many are they who avail themselves of this privilege. From October until January four goldfish each are given to every citizen of tha state until the supply is exhausted.

To all appearance Ardnamurchan, on he vest coast of Scotland, is great place for longevity. Whether it is be cause of the soft salubrious climate, or the remoteness of the place from the tenters and sins of population, or something indigenous to the Ardnam- urchan nature it would be rash to ay; but certain it is that an ArdRa- nurchan seems to have good chance 70 become a patriarch.

 Watching for State Papers.
 Foreign embassies are always on the sharp watch for the deaths of premi- nent subjects of their respective eoun- tries who may possess interesting cor respondence of more or less value to the state Thus when the Countess Di Castiglione died in Paris, at the 'equest of the Italian embassy, the French authorities placed its seal on very cupboard and drawer in her house. It is suspected that she had many interesting letters from Victor Emmanuel and Cayour, in whose em- ploy she was during part of the sec nud empire, and the Italian govern ment does not intend to let these fall into irresponsible hands.

messed by $4,000 or 10000 people along
the route. which was between Seventh
and Thirty-ninth streets. This was fol-
lowed by speaking at the city-county
building square, the addresses being,
heard by crowd of 5000 or more. In
the evening at the Beethoven, Arion,
Mozart and Turner halls, fine enter
tainmepts were given, which attracted
hundreds to each place OF amusement.
All In all the celebration was highly
crcdltable, and to the committees in
charge credit Is due for the splendid
showing that was made. Among those
who were especially interchangeable were
Messrs. Beu. Bente, zimmer Metzen-
thin, schockey. Blumenberg and others.
A feature was the fact that many of
the German-Americansgave the Ameri-
can colors the preference in decorations.
AS one well known citizen remarked to
the t1ntelligencer, I'VE are Americans,
and while loving the fatherland dearly.
we think there Is no flag to compare
with the Stars and Stripes" al

The closing feature Of the day were
the balls at Arion. Mozart, Beethoven
and Turner halls. All the halls. were
|tastefuly embellished and dancing was
INDUCED in until the wee smns hours Of
the morning. AT Arlon hall Mayors or.
chestrn made tuneful music and the
floor was at all times crowded with the
merry devotees offTerpsichore. The
crowd was very large. the hall being
hardly adequate to accommodate the
dancers. In the cafe ,il sumptuous re-
past was served at midnight.
AT Turner hall, Bachmnn's orchestra
3discourscd excellent music for the mer-!
.ry and festive dancers. The hall was
taxed to It's utmost and It was an early
hour this morning before the music
ceased and the guests departed for
their. homes. Luncheon was served
during the evening.
At the Beethoven hall the same rule
holds good as to the crowd. Dancing
was the feature to the music OF Meis-
ter's band. The hall was decorated
with the emblems OF America and Ger.
many and before departing for their
homes the dancers sat down to a sump-.
tuous repast.
South Side Germans gathered In large
numbers at Mozart hall last evening,
and danced far into the morning to the
tuneful strains Of Summers orchestra.
The hall wns bedecked with American
and German flags and presented a
pretty appearance. Refreshments were
served by the society's caterer and the
guests were loath to leave when the.
hour scheduled for the close OF the af-
fair had arrived. SF55 +

to- death on March p by five bandits
whose trail they were following. The
two young men formed part of a posse
which had peen organized by the sher-
j if of the county to run down the ban
dts, who had been reported to have
been seen killing a beef
Sheriff Beeler came upon the men
early on the morning of the 9th, and
the bandits commenced firing upon the
| sheriff's posse. A running fight was
Kept up tor some miles, but the horses
| OF some OF the posse gave out and thes-
returned. Word had been left by tha
sheriff with his deputy to organize =
second posse, and Gibbons and Leseu=
formed part Of this.
The horses of the rest of the party
gave out and Gibbons and Leseur were
the only two who got within shooting
distance OF the robbers. They supposed
that the sheriff was ahead of then
Ihey came upon the desperadoes quit"
unexpectedly, who opened fire on then:
at snort range. Leseur fell at the firs1
shot, but his companion, who was shOc
through the bowels. ran for some dis
lance, until he was pierced through
the back by arOJiler bullet and fell
mortally wounded.
To make their crime more heinous
the murdereTs followed up their vic
TINS and shot each of them through tn,
head, afterWard rifing the bodies anC

bodies were found in the roadway th'-
next day by q posse under Richard

Funeral services We're held at the
assembly hall in st. Johns at O'Clock
yesterday. Many friends of the dead
boys from Springville were present
Sheriff Reeler is now on the trail of
the murderers with a posse, but, as
they have gotten a start of thirty-siX
hours. there is but small hope that they
will be caught.

President William Fl. Gibbons and
Evaline Augusta Lamb He was born
in Glendale, Utah, on Feb. Is. 1874. and
was the grandson of Elder Andrew Glib

nit that there is any organization be-
hind his candidacy or state whether
he would like the Republican or Demo-
cratic nomination. He told me today
that ne was in the hands of the Amer
lean people, and was as willing to obey
orders from them as he has been from
his superiors in the navy. He said:
g I have every reason to believe that
there is a popular demand for my nom
nation. I decline TO say whether 1 am
a Democrat or a Republican. l want to
be the peoples candidate. l fully real
ize that in announcing nv Willingness

are beginning. but man who has the
interests of his country at heart cannot
escape his share of them, and l am
willing to risk all that may come to me-
. From every state in the union and
from all classes of the people l have
received gratifying evidence of a desire
for my nomination. The demand has
become so general that l felt con-
strained to give serious consideration
to the matter, and although ! had pre-
viously stated that I would not accept
nomination, conditions have so
changed in the past few months that l
cannot longer as a loyal American cit
izen say that [ will not obey the will
of the American people. if their decision
is that 1 am a suitable person for the
presidency. Beyond confirming my an
nouncement there is nothing further
that l can properly say at present.
