SUICIDES INCREASE IN FRANCE
Efforts to Account for the Prevalence

There has been an incredible and
unparalleled number of suicides in
Paris this season, and the local press
is attempting to account for what is
termed an epidemic by laying it at
the door of the general retrenchment
In all industries that is said to have
followed the exposition, and to the
fact that many provincials who found
plenty to do in Paris last summer
are now without means of employ
ment and are unable to return to
their homes. A recent number Of
LIE Figaro contained the account of
no less than five suicides which had
been committed within "a hours, most
of them under particularly painful
circumstances. #
Owing to the statistics recently
published from the archives of the
Palais de Justice and the prefecture
de police, the subject is deemed
worthy of immediate scientific inves-
tigation, as some say it is rapidly
approaching the proportions Of a ma
tional caalmity. According to these
statistics there were no less than
$4,000 suicides registered throughout
France in the five years ended Jan

and other Damage DOne-NO Lives

Estimated, Will Reach at Least
$5OO,OOO.

Salt Lake City, Nov. IS. - Full
~ half a million dollars worth of
damage has been done in Utah by a
series of earthquakes, beginning
Wednesday night and lasting until
Thursday aftern DON. Buildings were
wrecked in several towns. In one
place chasm was opened in the
earth and number. of persons had
a narrow escape from death, although
no fatalities have so far been report
ed.
The first shocks felt in Salt Lake
City were slight and small attention
was paid to them. During the early
morning and forenoon, the state was
again shaken, and great damage is
reported from the south and central
part of the state. In the town of
Richfeld alone the damage is esti-
mated at 100000.
Twenty Distinct Shocks.
In Sewer county, of which Rich
field is the county seat, 20 distinct
shocks were felt, the first, being at
$3.50 o'clock Wednesday night and the
hast at ITO o'clock Thursday after
noon. Buildings rocked back and forth,
glass was broken, walls fell and sew
eral structures were completely
wrecked. The Mormon tabernacle
there was severely damaged, the
front of the building collapsing. A
majority of the houses in the town
were more or less damaged.
Bishops House Wrecked.
At Monroe the large residence of
Bishop Orson Bagley was ruined, as
were several other buildings. There
are several hot springs at this place.
One of them ceased entirely to flow,
while the flow of others was in
creased.
Panis in a SchOOlrOOm.
At Elsinore the principal hotel, the
Jensen house, was partially wrecked
and will have to be rebuilt. The guests
escaped unhurt except for the shock
to their nerves. The schools were in
session when some of the worst shocks
occurred in the forenoon, and there
was another panic there. The children
attempted to make break for safety,
but the teachers managed to prevent
a serious stampede.
Landslides in Mountains.
At Kimberley there was landslide
down the mountain, which wrecked
some dwellings.
The Clear Creek road was blocked
by another landslide. Still another
came down over the Rio Grande
Western track near Marysvale, broke
rails and stopped traffic. Telephone
poles were broken and communica-
ton with the outside world was in
terrupted.
In Beaver the courthouse, Mormon
meeting house, Beaver Branch acad-
envy and scores of other buildings
were either seriously damaged or
completely wrecked. 80.
Fillmore was badly shaken up, but
no buildings were wrecked. People
ran in the streets in the early morn
ing without waiting to dress.
Parowan, Cedar City and numerous
other towns over the state report
more or less damage.

But the interesting part of this article OF
the Journal of Commerce is yet to come.
1t declares that the political movement
which resulted in war had an economic
foundation That there were economic
reasons why there should be one nation
rather than two or three or several. These
reasons, it declares, had brought the most
reluctant OF the colonies. after much hest
tation into the Union, and these reasons
finally welded the Union into q single ma

political rights that are dear TO US would
have been left untouched by secession; that
so far as white men are concerned human
liberty would have prospered as well under
two or ten republics as under one. But,
it significantly ndds, there would not
have been liberty of trade and there would
have been burdensone taxation to support

An SO this Northern newspaper concludes
that the war between the States was
fought, md the cause of the Union tri-
umplled, because it was for the best in

as then constituted, to support only one
government, with one army and one navy,
and no dangerous neighbor and to enjoy
