Although Senator Hanna has not
yet named the Chairman of the
Washington Committee which will
make the arrangements for and
have charge of the second inau5 ur-
alton of President Mckinley, the
prominent men of the national CAPT
tai are already discussing ways and
means of making the event memor-
able. The tenor of public sentiment
in Washington was reflected by Mr..
l.. T. Miohener, Gen. w. w. Dud-
ley's law partner, when he said of
next inauguration day: "All the
richness and granduer that we can
lavish upon that occasion will moi
be too much. 1t will be the first in
auguration of a new century, and
will mark a victory no less Impress
i've or important than that of the
second election of Lincoln. We
should strive to excel in the glory
of that day the splendor of the jub-
ilee or England's Queen. We should
show that there is nothing mean or
cheap about republic and that even
the oldest and greatest monarchies
cannot outdo us in doing honor to
the institutions and history of the
nation" With this spirit prevail
ing, President McKinley's second
Inauguration cannot fail to be one
of the most imposing and magnifi
cent events in our history.

The yellow press is disposed to
make quite a mares nest out of the
cable news from Madrid that this
government had agreed to pay Spain
$lO0, 900 for three islands. adjacent
to the Philippines, subject to the
ratification of the treaty providing
therefor by the Senate. and some
cock and Lull stories about the re-
gret Of Secretary Hay at the giving
out Of the news in Madrid have been
printed. To get down TO cold facts
the matter Is not news at all, as it
was fully published some emonthsago
that rather than have long diplo-
matio wrangle with Spain over its
claim of sovereignty Of these islands
because they were outside of the
geographical limits named in the
treaty oeding the Philippines to the
U. s., this country had agreed to
pay Spain 500, 600 for them.

Curiosities of Suicide.


From the London Telegraph.
At the conclusion Of a recent inquest
on John Brooks. an engineer Of Upton
Park Manor. who flung himself off the
Royal Sovereign while the vessel was
nearing Southend on her return journey
from Margate. Mr. Wood, the deputy
coroner, made some remarks calculated
to surprise the uninitiated-but only the
uninitiated He said that apparently the
case was one of those which made up the
scrrible epidemic OF suicides IN and near
London recently This is what students
of psychology call suicide through imi-
tation." or, as Mr.. Wood correctly term
ed it, "epidemical suicide" As a rule
though. civil communities are less prone

der having hanged himself in a barrack
room, or having put a bullet through his
brain in sentry box, the drama was
repeated for many days under similar
conditions without the authorities being
able TO put stop TO the recurrence other
wise than by changing the regiments
quarters. The most notable case on re-
cord occurred in 1905. in the camp at
Boulogne. when Napoleon was preparing,
or pretending to prepare, a descent upon
England. The regiment was sent inland.
and II was on that occasion the Emperor

Grams hanged themselves in as many days

Hotel des luvalides. I'm Paris. The nail
