Six Hundred Girls Are Suicides.

Tacoma, Wash, July 30.-Oriental
adyices describe an appalling number
of suicides of young women in South
ern China. The usual method is for
six or eight girls to tie themselves to-
gether and deliberately walk into the
deep river. Six hundred girls have
committed suicide in this manner. The
wholesale suicides have caused much
alarm. and the authorities are exert
ing strict measures to avert them. The
famine in Hainan caused many girls to
be sold into slavery, and many sought
death in the manner described rather
than become slaves.

Unsuspected Wealth.

London, July 31.-A curious in
stance of unsupported wealth has come
TO light as a result of the death of Mr..
Sutton, well-known London goods
carrier. In 1900 the sworn value of his
estate was 98,675 ($43,565). The de-
ceased himself appears to have sup.
posed that his estate was worth about
100000 ($1,o0O,0OO). and he left a
residuary estate in trust to built "Sut-
tons model dwellings," for the poor.
The estate has now been re-sworn and
1t turns out to be valued at 92,O95,-
$50 ($10,477, 25O).

Dun's correspondents report that the
growing crops throughout the country are
doing well, and say that the corn crop will
break the record. The wheat crop is fairly
good and would have been remarkably but
for the prevalence of rains. Cotton is
doing well. Hay is poor and late on ac-
count of rain. Potatoes promise a good
yield. Tobacco is fair, and the only crops
that are backward are beans and buck
wheat, which are hurt by rain.

For years the Democratic minority il
Camden has contended against the
methods employed last Monday night by
the Republican factions to defeat
each other, and the faction that was
dubbed and stabbed and shot to defeat
now knows how it feels to have these
weapons rule the ballot-box. Isn't there
decency enough left in Camden to surround
the ballot-box with honest men in sufficient
numbers to overawe the thugs, repeaters
and murderers who have in the past made
elections farce, and at last brought dis
grace on the whole Republican party

where we took the boat for Lucerne. Again
there was feast of loneliness which beg
gars description. The highest peaks were
hidden in the clouds, but great snow fields
were revealed as the clouds parted for a
while. We remained long enough in Luz
cerne to see the Alps in their grandeur,
unfettered by the clouds, and never will
we forget the glory of it all.
Lucerene is charming city and do not
wonder that people return to it again and
again. Here too were the great palm trees,
between which we looked out on the far off
snow. Ii seemed more like an artists
fancy than a reality. Then the old city
has many quaint house that vies in inter-
est with the ancient wooden bridges, and
their odd pictures OF the 'Dance of Death. !"
In Lucerne our first pilgrimage was to
the monument of the Swiss guards who
fell while defending the Tuileries in 1892.
The genius of Thorwaldsen has covered
their heroism with lasting laurels, and no
one who has stood in front of the Lion of
Lucerne' will forget those who inspired it.
We were deeply impressed by it and re-
turned again and again, even going to see
it by moonlight, and driving there in the
rain on the morning Of our departure.
Near by is the Glacier Garden, most
interesting relic of the glacial period. The
exhibit includes relief models Of the Alps
and a fine collection of alpine animals and
birds. In the Hofkirche we enjoyed an
organ recital. The organ has an interna-
tional reputation and the daily organ re-
citaIs are feature of the season in Lu-
cerne. The vox humana stop is remark
able approximation to the human voice,
and was used with admirable effect in the
Choer des Belerius from Wagner and Gou-
nod Invocation.
Basel was the other city we visited in
Switzerland and in the ride thither from
Lucerne we saw great deal of Swiss rural
life. Basel has little to attract the tourist,
but was of especial interest to us on ac
count Of Erasmus, whose plain monument
in the Minister tells of his learning. He
was the greatest scholar Of the Oxford
triumvirate which did such excellent work
in the preparatory stage Of the English
Reformation. Under the inspiration of
