Mr.. FLANAGAN IN UNION COUNTY.

MR.. FLANAGAN IN UNION COUNTY.
In word Mr.. Flanagan Is not a
successful politician of the Demo
cratic variety, and he gives no
promise of having the slightest quail
ifications for craftsmanship. To elect
such man to congress would be to
fill seat in the House of Represen-
tatives with the weakest man ever
sent by district of which Union
county formed part. And on the
other hand, whatever strength such a
weakling as Mr.. Flanagan can pos
sess, will be used against President
Roosevelt. No Republican can. after
having seen and heard Mr.. Flanagan,
have any excuse for voting for the
Democratic candidate for congress. =

an account Of q suicide by that method;
and somnambulist who had read an ac-
count Of suicide by buckshot. himself,
probably while in a somnambulistic trance,
committed suicide In identically the same
manner.
Among the suicide cases reported during
the past year were some OF exceptional
interest from the viewpoint Of heredity.
In six instances other members Of the
immediate family had committed suicide.
In one instance there had been twenty
two suicides In the same family within
fifty years. In another instance, out Of
a family Of nine children, the case reported
represented the last of the children, all
of whom died by their own hands.
dence that suicide Ia frequently contem-
plated before IL Is finally successfully ac-
complished In one instance the suicide
left a note stating that he had pondered
over suicide a long time.
Seven Of the suicides had made one
previous attempt 10 kill themselves, four
had made two previous attempts and one
had made no less than four previous at
tempts at self-murder. II the reports may
be credited. These previous attempts at
suicide are evidence that the thought OF
suicide had been In the minds Of the VIC
tins some time previous TO the successful
carrying out OF the act.
Ii Is a well-known fact that suicide IL

Shooting Is by far the most frequent
method among male suicides and poison
is nearly as popular with females as shooting
is with males. The two methods shooting
and poison. are adopted by about two
thirds Of all the suicides. Shooting is
only about one-fourth a. frequent with
female as with male suicides.
Gas, hanging. drowning and leaps are
more in favor with females than with males.
OF the i53 suicides by poison 90. or e2.7 per
cent. selected carbolic acid; IL deaths were
by morphine, by Paris green, by chloro-
form, by laudanum and by cyanide Of
potassium.
OF the 81 suicides by cuts and stabs, is,
or nearly one-half. employed a razor to
infiict the mortal injury. Included among
the suicides by other methods we're

In front Of trains, 4 by burns and by stran-
gulation. One man dived head first into

committed or attempted TO commit homi-
eide, only s. or as per cent. Of the female
suicides did so. Among the es homicides
were - wives and l3 children. Parents,
brothers, sisters and sweethearts were
also victims TO the homicidal impulses of
the suicides.
In addition 10 the $50 successful suicides
there were l02 attempts at self-murder

number 81 were females and so males.
Women, as has been pointed out in previous
reviews of the suicide record, are less sue
cessful in carrying out their suicidal in
tentions than are men.
The causes which led to the successful
suicides of 1901, so far as any can be as
signed. may be roughly classified as fol-
lows:
The sun., 1902-02-23

Sickness and physical ills lead TO a larger
number OF suicides than any other we'll
defined cause. Among the causes not clas-
shed, but grouped as -other causes" NAV
be mentioned nineteen suicides which ap-
pear to have been due, very largely at least,
to drink, and four which resulted fr ON
over-indulgenoe in cigarettes and drugs.
Two apparently innocent and fairly
respecta able negroes committed suicide
from fear Of lynching These cases were
both In New Orleans and within few weeks
OF each other.
1t is OF interest to note that suicide among
negroes Is much less frequent than among
the white population. The most recent
statistics show that while the suicide rate
of the white population Of eleven Southern
cities was 1852 per million, in the colored
population Of the same cities the rate was
only 81 per million.
The causes assigned for some Of the
suicides of 1901 were Of the most unreason-
able kind and would appear to be but fimsy
pretexts for so grave an act as self-mur-
der Too much prosperity, to spite n wife
who said he had not the courage, fear that
he might live to be 100 years old, fear of
being an old maid, inability to get a new
dress in time for certain picnic, gloomy
weather, and chagrin at being horse
whipped by his wite are a Few OF the eN-
ceptional causes alleged 20 have been sufii-
cent TO induce the afflicted TO commit
suicide.
In the past year there were eight In
stances Of two or more persons committing
suicide together. one was the case Of the
President and cashier OF a bank who COM
mitted suicide to avoid arrest after wreck
ing their institution.
Another exceptional case was the suicide
of two couples 10y chloroform. In this in
stance four persons apparently mutually
agreed 10 die together. Three other double
suicides were young couples whose parents
had objected To their marriage; another
instance was that of a man and wife, and
two cases were couples crirnlnaily IN
fatuated with each other
In reference TO the power oil suggestion
and example in suicide IL has been said.
-the power of the example IL also great.
Every act OF suicide tacitly conveys the
sanction OF one more judgment IN its iavor'
frequency OF repetition diminshes the
sensation Of adherence. and makes sue
ceeding sufferers resort to u win less re-
luctance." This remark Of Dynonu uh-
doubtedly contains a large kernel Of truth
The influence Of suggestion was hius
uated by two cases which came 70 my
The sun., 1902-02-23

1t will generally be found true that while
suicides at ages under 20 are compar atively
infrequent, the youthful female suicides
In proportion to the total suicides Of that
sex are more frequent than youthful male
suicides. In youth inclination to suicide
among females seems TO approach more
nearly an equality with that Of males than
is true in adult life.
We know that suicide is rapidly increas-
ing In this country and IL would be of in
terest 10 know whether there is any ten
dency to a higher rate of increase at the
younger ages than at the later periods Of
life. As partial test have distracted the
