Increase in Suicides,

Computations recently made have
established the fact that during the
last twenty-five years 100000 sui
CideS have occurred in Europe, the
frequency of this crime having in
creased in that country during sixty
years, from 1910 to 1900, 400 per cent,
while the population has increased
by sixty per cent. To a similar mag
nitude in America the evil of self-de-
struction has grown.
Rapid increase of this crime con-
currently with increase of divorce
proceedings and juvenile crimes has
afforded matter for widespread COM
ment and speculation. By almost
every investigator rapid rise in the
number of these crimes has been at
tributed to lack of religious moral in
fuence; universal prevalence of free
thought, consequences of its accept
ance, a phase of thought which has
for many years Wanted an influential
following in the cities both of Europe
and America, especially Paris, Lon
don and New York. One school of
freethinkers holds that suicide in
many instances is not only justifable,
but, by the laws of nature, demanded.
"The modern tendency to suicide"
says an authority on the subject, "has
its true cause in the religious deca-
dence of our times. From this fact
we may Judge of the ignorance of re-
ligion as an element in the life of hui
manity. A conception of the world
which is based on religion renders
every condition of life supportable,
even the lot of Job. The want of re-
ligion renders insupportable on even
the slightest reverse. "-Dallas News.

An editor died and slowly wendell
his way to where he supposed warm
reception awaited him. The devil
met him and said: "for many years
thou hast borne the blame for bad
spelling that the printer has got off
in the paper. The paper has gone
for one dollar and alas! the dollar has
failed TO come in. The printer has
bedeyiled thee for wages when thou
hadn't farthing to thy name. Peo-
pie have taken the paper without
paying for it, and cursed thee for not
getting out a better sheet. Thou
hast been called a dead beat by all
the railroad conductors when thou
hast shown thy annual pass to their
envious gaze. All these wrongs thou
hast borne in silence. Thou shalt not
enter here" And as the editor turn
ed and walked away Satan muttered:
"Heaven is his home, and besides if
let him in here he will always be dun
ing his delinquent subscribers and

Railroad Surveyors Working out of NacO.

The Bisbee Miner published the fol.
lowing special from Naco:
"The report is current here today
that an engineering party has been
out for several days surveying route
between here and Douglas. They are
in the employ of some company which
will at once prepare to build into the
smelter city on the completion of the
survey, it is stated.
"The surveyors who have been in
the field for several days have been
very reticent as to their employers
and as to the business in hand, but it
was learned that they
are out for railroad company and
that the road will be built into Doug
las from Naco, for a portion of the
way on the Mexican side of the line.
"Who is behind the move cannot be
said, but rumor has it on one hand
that it is parallel line of the Ell Paso
and Southwestern intended to keep
out competitors who might run on the
Mexican side of the line. This, how
ever, is not generally believed, as the
great majority of the people here
think that it is either the Southern
Pacific which is having the road built,
or some independent company, very
probably the Greene interests.
SIN the latter case a separate line
will be obtained for the Greene camp
into Douglas and shipping can be done
to the Douglas shelters, in case such
action is necessary at any time with
out recourse to any roads other than
their own. This would guarantee a
separate and distinct line between
Cananea and Douglas, both for pass
enger and freight traffic for the great
Mexican mining camp. 1t is proba-
BILE, too, that the smelters at Doug
las will have to be called upon to
help the Greene-Cananea company
out when the smelter city at San
Carlos is begun and while the furnaces
are being removed from Cananea.
SIT is argued as more likely that
the road contemplated is to be built
by Southern Pacific interests, as that
company has long been seeking entry
into this portion of the territory and
the extension of the Rio Yaqui and
Pacifico along the proposed route
would be more logical than the first
supposition. No confirmation at the
local offices of this report can be OBJ
tanned and everyone remains COM
pletely in the dark as to the proposed
line and it's ownership.
SIN the meantime, paying no at
tention to the rumors and reports be-
ing spread about, the surveyors pro-
coed with their work and now have
the survey of nearly quarter of the
line proposed finished, it is stated.
1t is thought that the survey of the
route will be completed in a short
time"

SUPREME COURT
OVERRULES STATE
Violation of Law to CompelI Fast Mail
Trains to Stop at Small
Stations

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE question
whether a railroad company can be
compelled upon the order of state
railroad commission TO stop its fast
mail trains when engaged in inter-
state commerce was decided yesterday
by the supreme court of the United
States in the negative in the case of
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad COM
pany VS.. the state railroad commits
siOners of South Carolina.
The suit arose in connection with an
effort on the part Of citizens of the
town of Latta, S. c., TO secure the
stopping of two such trains, which
daily pass through the town, upon be-
ing tagged, and the commission or
dered that stops should be made when
ever the signal should be hOisted. The
railroad company resisted the ruling as
unreasonable.
The state supreme court decided
against the company. and il immed-
lately appealed TO the supreme court
of the United States with the result
that the relief sought was obtained.
The opinion of the court was delivered
by Justice Peckham and reversed the
decision of the South Carolina court.
The opinion held the order of the COM
mission to be an interference with in
terState commerce.

ANOTHER PAkE TRICK
WHICH FAILED To WORK

Lau Kong is smart Chinaman who
had scheme fixed up to fool any off,
cious inspector of the Board of Health
or police officer who might wish to
look too closely into his business of
peddling fish around Kakaako. His
smartness cost him SO and costs yes
terday in the police court. I.au desired
to supply the residents of Kakaako
with fish, which, being a trifle stale,
he could realize a profitable margin on.
Peddling fish is one of the things that
the Board of Health objects to, so Lau
thought of way to do it. He prepar-
ed two big vegetable baskets and in
each he put a smaller basket of fish.
Then he covered the small baskets with
vegetables and started out among his
customers. The scheme might not
have been discovered had he not dis
posed of some fish that were too much
for even Kakaakc. stomach and
complaint against him was laid.
