New York, Dec. 8. - That suicide
is a human impulse, and rarely, II
ever, the deliberate act of any person,
is the belief of Or. ThOs. Darlington,
president of the New York Board OF
Health. Men and women who talk
of self destruction. this authority
says. very ~infrequently carry their
threats into effect. I
For this and other reasons, Dr..
Darlington, in an interview with this
correspondent, declared his belief that
the movemen entered into in Cleve-
land. to discourage suicide, would be
ineffective.
"If the anti-suicide board will ac-
complish anything, It will be a grand,
good work. said DR.. Darlington. Il
doubt if it can be done that way.
What should like to see would be a
commission that would investigate
the real underlying causes that drove
no less than $50 men and women to
end their lives in the metropolis last
year. to say nothing OF the thousand
who uns~uccessfully attempted suicide.

FL Reno, Okla, Dec. 5.-The half
million acres of Indian pasture re-
serves lying southwest of here were
thrown open to settlement today. The
office of Indian Agent Randlett, who is
in charge of the sale and lease of the
lands, was surrounded by large crowds
of prospective settlers all day today,
eager to secure choice locations. All
the lands are leased in 100 acre tracts
for a period of five years, dating from
January 1, 1906. The minimum price
is 26 cents per acre and year. No one
person will be allowed to lease more
than two sections of land and all bids
must be made separately for each
quarter section. Each lessee is bound
to cultivate all tillable land up to rs

lessee is given the privilege of re.

to face last veal with an enormous
increase in carbolic acid suicides
292 out of 1853. To overcome this, we
secured a law which prohibits drug
gists from selling raw carbolic acid.
Although there are now fewer carbolic

decreased.
The principal methods of the miser-
able people who take their lives are
by the knife, the gun, hanging, gas
and poison. Very few people drown
themselves. and few die by leaps.

churches in completing work already

"Our annual session. which recently
convened at Silver City, under the

the various ministers show the lar
