The Globe Democrat calls attention to the extensive railroad building going on at present in the Gulf states. It says.
 Several trunk lines are extending their tentaeles to the Gulf of Mexico, with view to obtaining a seaport and being In position to handle the increased com merce certain to follow as a result of the building of the Panama canal, bringing the Orient closer to the Occident While the trend is southward, many lines are also reaching out toward the seaboard Of the southern Atlantic states. Birming- ham and the vast deposits of mineral In that region Is the objective point of number of projected roads, while lines already established are extending their roads to tap the coal fields and iron mines of Alabama.
 In the Atlantic states, the East and West railroad of Alabama, which recently changed hands, is being reconstructed and will be connected with Birmingham and Atlanta by next fall The Brunswick and Birmingham railroad is building west ward through Georgia and the Atlantic and Birmingham Is constructing an eXten- sion, each with the object of reaching the great mineral center of the south, while the Louisville and Nashville is im- proving its facilities in the coal and iron region of northern Alabama by building a couple of extensions. The Birmingham, Columbus and St. Andrews has been in- corporated and will build from Birming ham, via Columbus, Ga, to st. Andrew bay, Fla, while the Union Springs and Northern Is to build from Fort Davis, on the Seaboard's Montgomery line, northwest sixty miles to Rockford, in the direction of Birmingham, and further extension of about the same length would carry the road to that city. It Is re- ported in railroad circles that when the Seaboard enters Birmingham the com pany will turn it's attention toward get ting a further extension to New Orleans.
 The management of the Illinois Central contemplates further extensions south, with a view to fortifying itself against the threatened competition of the Mis- souri Pacific. Frisco and Southern inter- ests. The road will build about 24O miles or eAIenSlOlS III NdTlpuS pOIlloHS ol lhe Mississippi valley. the surveys for some of which have been made recently. Com petition between Memphis and Chicago and Memphis and St. Louis has already become strenuous, and that between Memphis and New Orleans will within another year become equally so. There will then be three direct lines between Memphis and New Orleans. and it will be q question of the survival of the Attest. The road with a network of feeders will be in a good position to withstand the competition and 1t is with this end in view that the Illinois Central proposes to make the numerous extensions.
 It Is announced that Captain Berg, who is well known to the travelling public as commander of the steamship City of Bir- mingham of the Savannah line for the past fifteen years, has been transferred to the steamship City of Augusta of the same line.
 Captain Berg will be succeeded begin ming today, by Capt. T. l.. Dryer, who was formerly his first officer on the City of Birmingham.

Suicide in the United States has been
studied by Professor William B. Bailey
Of Yale for a period covering 1897 to
1901, says Il New Haven special to the
New York Times. He has taken 20,344
cases. In order to take a more con-
venient unit 10000 cases were taken
by Professor Bailey for computation
in his statistics. OF these 1871 were
found to be males and 2,210 females,
indicating that in general the ratio Of
suicides Of males to that Of females
Is three and a half to one
His tables show that the most popu-
lar suicide period is between thirty
and forty years, followed closely by
the period between twenty and thirty
years. Nearly two-thirds OF the sui
cides are found between the periods Of
twenty to fifty years. 1t is found that
the number of married suicides eX-
ceeds that of those who are single.

loved each other devotedly for several
months. but another woman from
Schmic's old home interfered a week
ago, and sought to hold him to an al

the pair to seek refuge in death, and
they apparently planned the affair
with much elaboration. Miss Bren.
a purchased a bottle Of carbolic
acid Sunday morning and shortly at.
forwards both started out for a walk.
They strayed to a secluded spot in the
midst of a forest and spent the entire
afternoon sitting side by side on a
rock. Thew were seen by several
other ramblers in the woods and this
led to the search by the girls cousin,
Thomas Cavanaugh, and several Of
his friends.
When the party came in sight OF
the place. Miss Brennan put the bot
tie of acid to her lips and drained it.
AS she did so Schmic started to run
with several of the party close on his
heels. He drew a revolver and fired
upon them three times and thcn stop.

and shot himself twice. He fell dead
instantly. The girl suffered great
agony and her physicians hold out
scant hope for recovery.

in collision at night twenty-seven

Watts of the Thomas says the battle
ship struck his schooner a glancing
blow on the starboard side, tearing
of the main chain plates, carrying
away rails and damaging some plank
ing about the hull, causing her to leak
about two inches per hour. The cap
tain says the weather was clear and
he could see four miles away. His
vessel, having a fair wind. kept q
clear course. thinking the battleship,
which was headed out the bay, would
give her the clear way. Immediately
after the collision the Massachusetts,
put about and followed the schooner
into the bay in case she might need
assistance. But on reaching the light
ship, Captain Watts decided that it
wal unnecessary. The Massachusetts,

Monday is the favorite day for COM
hitting suicide. followed closely by,
Sunday. From Monday down to Friday
there is an inexplicable increase and
then a drop on Saturday, the lowest Of
the week. Professor Bailey says OF
this:
"For those who have endured
throughout the week there is pay day
at hand. followed by a day of rest.
Among the males Monday is pre-emi-
nently a day for suicide. Females pre-
fer Sunday to Monday. Religious ex.
element may have something to do
with this. but nearly a third of the do
nestle troubles leading to suicide come
on Sunday.
"More than one-fourth of the suicides
from financial trouble and i'll health
among females occur on Monday. They
apparently lack the courage in their
weak or impoverished condition to take
up the struggle of a new week.
"Of 10000 cases 3.GS7 occurred in the
twelve hours before noon and 5.S4S
during the remaining twelve hours.
Beginning with midnight. there is a
continuous increase until 6 p. m. The

falling off. while from Q o'clock till
