HOboISen, n. u, Leads the World In
Self Destruction.
The current issue of the Spectator
contains an article by Frederick Il.
Hoffman on the Suicide Record For
1902 The data presented are based
upon statistics from ffty-one cities,
having a population Of 14,500-0o0. 1t
is shown that, comparing the ten years
from 1892 to 1901 with the year 1902,
suicide has increased, the rate per 100-
600 population being Is for the decade
and IL for the year 1902
New York city, boroughs Of Manhat-
tan and Bronx, stand fifth on the
list, but show decrease in 1902,
with rate of p per 100000 for
that year and PIP for the decade.
The cities with higher rates than
New York for the longer period are
st. Louis, 25T; Hoboken, 24.6; Chi
cago. 23.4, and Oakland, Cal. 22.5. All
these save st. Louis show an increase
for 1902, and Hoboken stands out as
the horrible example in the entire list,
with rate Of 35.7 for last year. The
borough OF Brooklyn comes ninth in
the general list, with rate Of 1872 for
the ten years and 1913 for 1902. In the
fifty cities included in the general la
BILE the totals are 1900 suicides in the
ten years, 1s92-1001, and Ease In 1902
Figures by nationalities are Also in
teresting. BY these it is shown that in
the registration area OF the United
States the rate among native Ameri-
cans is e.S per 100000 OF population,
against Gil for those of Irish origin,
1913 for those Of German origin and %
for those Of French origin A table on
the suicide rate Of males aged thirty
five and over for New York city indi-
Gates an increase from As per 100000
of population in 1881 to 6.2 in 1901.
This is considered by the author as
being Of special Importance to insur
ance interests.

Does sojourn in the county jail

says a Toledo dispatch. When com
plants were made by prisoners Of

and pointed to the prisoners who came
to the jail slckly, but left fat and

a $1,000 Fire Caused by Lightning.

About o'clock Tuesday evening Rocky
Ford was visited by an electrical storm
Of unusual force. An electric light pole
was struck in the southern part Of town
and number Of houses suddenly de-
priyed Of illumination. Soon after a sec
ond bolt Of electricity struck the carpen-
ter shop and tool house OF the sugar
company and the building was soon seen
in flames. The factory whistle first gave
the alarm. which was soon followed by
the water works knocking bird" whistle
The sugar factory is well equipped for
suppressing fire had quickly had three
streams OF great force playing on the
burning building. The efficiency OF the
company's fire system was shown by the
fact that frame building Immediately
adjoining the burning building was saved.
The company not only has a supply OF
water in tanks in the top Of the factory.
but has pumps in the engine house from
which direct pressure can be had for fire
purposes.
Mr.. Wietzer expresses his qualification
at the prompt manner in which SO many
citizens responded to the alarm and were
on hand to give any aid in their power.
Tho company's loss was about $1,000
which was fully covered by insurance.
Several carpenters had tools in the build
ing which were all burned.
Chief karpe's fire brigade was on tho
ground as soon as possible but tho fro
was largely under control whom they ar
rived.
