San Francisco Shows the Largest Per

San Francisco Shows the Largest Per
centage of Suicides.
The number Of people who volunta-
rilv shuffled off this mortal coil In
American and other cities during last
year has been investigated by some
deliver in statistics and the following
figures indicate the results: San Fran
cisco leads with the largest ratio, 39.1
per 100000 population. Next comes
another Pacific coast city, Los Angeles,
with q ratio of 29.S. The reader has
naturally been looking for Chicago,
and that city does in fact come next
with a ratio of 240, followed by the
neighboring city of Milwaukee, whose
ratio is 22.2. New Orleans was the
scene of the self-destruction Of 21.8 per-
sons per 100000 of population, and Gin
cInnatl followed close with 21.2. New
Haven is next with 20.9, and then
comes the borough of Manhattan with
200, though greater New York as a
whole is well down the list with a
ratio Of only 1876. This Is less than
Rochester, Indianapolis, Philadelphia,
Plttsburg, Baltimore, Boston, Detroit,
Omaha and Louisville, besides all OF
those specifically enumerated above
As to the foreign cities, Paris leads the
list with a ratio of AZ, followed by Ber'
lin SO, Vienna % and London %. There
were more suicides in Saxony than In
any other country, 31.1 per 100000. Ii
Denmark the ratio was 25.S, in Austria
21.2, in France 1871, in the German EN-
plre 14.3, and Sweden, Norway, Bel
gium, Great Britain, Italy, the United
States and Spain followed in the order
given.
The table referring to American cities
is somewhat difficult to explain. VIII!
the city of the Golden Gate, and Cali
fornia, with its glorious climate, 1T
sunshine, its fruit and its flowers
should show the greatest number o
suicides seems a mystery, unless tn
presence of a large Chinese population
explains it. The high suicide rate o
Chicago is, perhaps, accounted for b,
the rush and struggle Of that grea
city and the large foreign element
contains-a foreign element, moreover
J which comes mainly from those cOur
tries where suicide is most frequent
The same is perhaps true of Milwaukee
and Cincinnati. The high rate at NeN
! Orleans may possibly be attributed t
, its relation to France and the ideas an
traditions brought here from Paris, tn
. suicide capital Of the world. But Nev
York City casts a cloud over some G
j these explanations. Here are the larg
foreign populations, the stress an
: strain of living and working, the POI
erty, the excitement Yet Philadelphia

n agraphers, has a higher ratio of suicide
than greater New York. And how

MOB LEADER BY TRADE.
Hayward Got Up q Riot In Paris For
Any One Who Paid Him.


Any One Who Paid Him.
Paris had for years a professional
leader Of mobs, man named Hay
ward. who would get up mob and
raise riot any time, for any purpose
according to orders. provided suffi.
cient amount Of money was paid to
him. He was employed chiefly by po-
litical leaders. and his services were
in great demand at election time.
His regular business was peddling
toys, songs and novelties upon the
street. Many Of the songs were written
by him. many Of the toys were his in
vent1on. and he was a man of genius
IN some directions as well as strong
characterize strong that he was called
the Napoleon Of the Camelots'' and
the king Of the Camelots." If he had
any principles or opinions Of his own
ne kept them to himself. He would
break up political meeting or create
an ovation and make popular hero for
q fixed sum Of money.
( He had under his command and sub
ject to his call at moments notice,
night and day. between 1000 and 5000
street hawkers, peddlers. newsboys and
other gentlemen with lungs of leather
and was in the halit Of paying them
from to francs each every time
their services were required to raise
riot or give triumphant greeting to
any politician who wanted to convince
the public Of his popularity.
With 500 or even $50 Of his followers
Hayward could raise an awful rumpus,
and human beings. like sheep, always
follow a leader 1t was Mr.. Pick
wick. believe, who said that it was
good policy to shout with the loudest
of the crowd, and no one could have
collected such band Of howlers in
Paris or anywhere else as the king of
the Camelots."
He led the mobs and directed the
riots in the interest Of General Bou-
LANCER when the latter attempted to
repeat the part Of Napoleon |. and was
the author of the Dreyfus riots, for
which he was paid by syndicate of
army officers. The police knew all
about him, but never intcrfered with
his work because they had confidence
in his ability to control his followers
and realized that any interference on
their part might demoralize them. So
this professional mob organizer was al
lowed great liberties.
He could not have existed in any 9th
er city in the world. Paris is the only
place that could produce such man.
and when he died the newspapers con-
tanned formal obituaries, giving de-
tailed account of his operations for the
purpose of influencing public opinion,
while more than 1900 street peddlers
followed him to his grave.-Chicago
