ATTEMPT AT RAISING
IGNORANT NEGRO TRIED TO BEAT UNCLE

Changed One Dollar Postal
Money Order To Seventy

Willie Moore, a young darNey from |
Hattiesburg, was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Collins |

lnutilatlng and changing an unpaid
money order, He plead guilty and !
was ordered to give a $50l bond |
for appearance before tho grand
Jury at the August term OF the
federal court in this city. In default
of bond the defendant was commit
ted to Jail.
The charge was m lde by Postofffce
Inspector F. NJ. Hamilton of New
Orleans, who, by the way, is vet
eran in the service of the govern
ment. Mr.. Hamilton was one of the
three inspectors who were sent to
Havana to ferret out the Cuban
postal frauds. He was two years in
that country, and made reputation
for himself. On the l4th day of this
month Mr.. Hamilton had been con-
reeted with the postoflice depart

Suicide in America.
american Medicine

L
In our issue of October 11th we re-
ferred to certain statistics of suicide. the
origin of the figures not then being known.
{ We now learn that they were furnished
to the insurance publication, The Specta-
tor, by Fredel icN Hoffman. There are,
therefore, presumably correct. and II SO.
they dispose OF that old and oft-repeated
absurdity that the lonliness of the farm
produces the suicidal impulse. The aver
age rate for the whole country is found TO
be lis to 100000 population for the year
1900 But for !he fifty largest cities the.
rate in 1901 was 1876. The next most i'm
portant fact demonstrated is that suicide
lis increasing. The average. rate nifty
largest cities) for 1890. was r. while I'D
1901 1t had incl eased to 1915. This. is also
demonstrated by the increase OF. suicides
in the total number Of deaths of lnsur-
ance companies. In the Mutual Life. G. g..
the proportion of suicides to all deaths
has risen from 10 per cent. to "a per
cent in the last fifty years. The third
mystery revealed is the difference in the
rate in different cities. Taking the average
for the whole EN- year period ending with
1900. Mr.. Hoffman finds that there were
E5.7 suicides fo- every 100 COO people In st.
Louis. while the rate in Trenton was only
81, and in Fall River. 30. Tie percentage
in several other cities was almost as high
as that in st. Louis. The figures for Chi
ca go are 23.s Hoboken 90. Oakland. Cal,
21.5, and that part of New York city in.
Guided in the boroughs Of Manhattan and
The Bronx, 20.9. Even in Newark the
rate is 1G.2, while that for Brooklyn is
only 1871. Boston makes better show
ing-15.4-while Jersey City's figures are
still lower-14.G. Why one suburb of the
metropolis on the west shore of the
Hudson should have a higher rate than
this city, and another one very much
lower, is at present inexp.ainable.

NEW TAXATION SCHEME.

IN one essential at least. most radical
departures will be made from the existing
method Of raising State revenue. The
salient feature-not to say REVOLUTIONARY
fe:lure-of the report is recommends.
sion that all taxation on realty. and or
personally as now levied be abolished
The taxation of such property has hither-
to been iii the main the basis of the
States revenue. The commissions re

according to the independents, the trais
leading to conspiracy between the rail-
roads and tn. harons, and to gross vio-
Iation of the Pennsylvania law. was get
ting too fresh.
1t will be remembered that on several
occasions during the earlier days OF the
strike it was asserted that such a con-
spiracy existed in violation of the state
laws and the interstate commerce act,
and that at one time at Washington there
was talk of trying to reach it through the
latter So the people viii. be inclined to

Of course the American people do not
care how the Immediate differences in the
specific trouble arc adjusted. SO that the
result is to supply the market with coal
