AN ANr1-su1c1DE BUREAU

The Salvation Army in opening at
ats headquarters an anti-suicide bu-
reau is simply using its matchless
instinct for coming phrases. What
Col. Holland and MRS. Brigadier
Bovill' propose to do is as old as
hope or despair, as old as human
sympathy; but to call their work
'anti-suicide" will attract ten times
as much attention from those who
need il as would some hhackneyed
title.
A considerable proportion of men
and women who are "down on their
luck" and have reached middle age
think at times of suicide. Only a
small proportion of those who coquet
with the idea ever actually yield to
its lure These nearly all belong to
one of four classes observed by the
Army's London Anti-Suicide Bureau
the sick, the unemployed, victims
OF drink and victims of nervous dis
orders. Almost without exception
they are in such low condition of
vitality as to yield readily to the
cheerful persuasion of a strong pei
sonality.
Physicians know we'll the value of
a positive, CHEEKY and confident man
ner in inspiring with hope patients
who haven't strength enough to
cheer up OF their own accord. There
is nothing new in the fact, though it
is the new fashion to call it ''thera-
peutic suggestion" and class it among
the phenomena of hypnotism. Prac-
tically this is the method the Saliva
ton Army will use in dealing with
the great majority of those tempted
to suicide.
There is a fifth class with which
the bureau will perhaps find it more
difficult to deal:
The lonely-those who having lost
friends or home ties had begun to
feel that the whole world had no
longer any charm for them. and
whose only thought was to end the,
misery by getting out of the world
as quickly as possible
Here an obvious solution might be
10 introduce the lonely to each other
and let them stop being lonely. But
in city of several million people are
not lonely for the lack of other peo-
pie to talk to. but for reasons that lie
pretty deep for therapeutic sugges-
ton to reach Still, even the lonely
would be ungrateful not to appreciate
somewhat an honest and unfeigned
interest in their loneliness.-EX.

Young men, the first question your
employers ask themselves when busi-
ness becomes slack and it is thought
necessary to -economize in the mat
ter of salaries is. "Who can best be
spared? The barnacIes, the shirks,
the makeshifts, somebody's porteges,
somebody's nephews, and especially
somebody's good-for-nothing, young
men, please remember that these are
not the ones who are called for when
responsible positions are filed
Would you like to gauge your own
future for a position of prominence?
Would you like to know the prob
abilities of your getting such a posi-
sition? Inquire within! What are
you doing to make yourself valuable
in the position you now occupy? If
you are doing with your might wha.
your hands find to do, the chances
are two to one tnat you soon become
SO valuable in that position that you
can not be spared from it, then,
singular to say, will be the very
time when you will be sought out fol
promotion for better place-Mem-

A DRY TOWN

For the first time in the history of
Mayersville it is a dry town-as far
as whiskey is concerned. The last
saloon in the county closed its doors
in this town on last Saturday. The
saloon that has just closed has been
run by Mr.. L. Heiman near on to
twenty-five years, and in justice to
Mr.. Herman it can be said that with
in all that time not homicide nor
a serious alteration ever occurred

OUR YOUNG MEN

If young men wish to succeed in
business they must not spend their
time and money in simply having a
good time. They must not be dis
contented with the little place in
which they are in because they think
they are too big for it. The way to
get into a large place is to outgrow
the one you are in, grow until it is
too small that it will not hold you
any longer A man who sits shrunk
up and worthless in a little place,
because he thinks it is not worth
while to grow enough to fill that, has
little prospect of getting into larger
ones. Fill the place that you are in.
Fit yourself for higher usefulness.
To do that you must do something

NOT A CANDIDATE
William R, Hearst Has No Aspirations to Presi-
 dency.

New York, Sept. 23.-In an inter- view tonight William Randolph Hearst denied that he is candidate for the presidency,
 'I am not candidate for the presi- dency on the independent ticket or on any other ticket" he said, "and can not cohceive of any conditions under which I would be willing to become a candidate" This determination" he adds, "is not because of any feeling of pique or disappointment at the result of the last election. I am well satis- fled to be a private citizen and to la bor through the league, and through the election for others to promote the principles I believe in. I dislike hold ing office, and I dislike particularly being placed in position where the sincerity of my principles can be ques- toned through campaigning for some office that I do not want, and that l would only consent to hold, through a sense of public duty as would serve on jury"

RELIGIOUS CONGRESS-
National Conference of Unitarian and
 Other Churches.

Boston, Sept. 2S.-In advance of the international congress of religious lib- erals, delegates to which are here from all parts of the world ready to convene in their first session tomorrow, there was held in Fremont Temple to-day the national conference of Unitarian and other christian churches.
 An unsuspected feature of to-day's meeting was the presentation by Rev. Charles F. Dole, president of the Twen- tieth Century club, of a resolution pe- titioning the congress of the United States to abolish the custom of requir- ing foreigners coming to America to state whether they are polygamists or anarchists. The resolution was re- ceived with applause and reported to committee on resolutions.
 President Carroll D. Wright of Clark college, Worcester and presi- dent of the National association, pre- sided at the evening session.
 This evening a reception was given to the visitors at Hotel Somerset, at which Governor Guild, Prof. Monet, retiring president of the international council, and others made informal speeches.

TAKE FINAL EXAMS
Many Candidates in Both Academic and Scientific
 Departments.

The final entrance examinations to both the academic and the scientific departments of Yale commenced yes- terday in Alumni and Winchester halls and from unofficial estimates slight increase over the number who entered last fall is expected in both the de- partments. Last year in the academic department there were S79 in the fresh man class and this year 400 are ex- pected. In the scientific school last year there were S64 who registered as freshmen and the faculty expect this year nearly as many in Sheffield and in the college.
 The large number of candidates who took examinations in the substitutes fo.' Greek was noticed this year and will probably do away with all idea ot going back to the requirement of this classic language,
 The examinations are held in New Haven alone in the fall instead of at various schools throughout the coun- try, and the candidates are informed immediately of their success in order that they may commence work on Thursday. Yesterday, in addition to the number who were taking entrance examinations, there were a large number of uppef-classmen who were taking tests to anticipate courses, so as to finish the required work in less than four years,

He was the only honorary life member of the Mattabetcheoun Fish and Gun club, one of the most exclusive organizations of the kind, composed of wealthy Americans and owning hundreds of acres of preserves in Canada, that honor having been conferred on him for his services in securing the privileges in Canada.

CAR DOES NOT STOP

While crossing Elm street just below York street at noon yesterday, A. H. Vreeland, who is member of the en. tering class in the Sheffield scientific school, was struck and knocked down by a big speeding automobile. The machine passed over the young mans body and knocked him unconscious.
 The occupants of the car did not stop, but went on according to by- islanders at even a greater velocity. The people who were in the machine were not recognized by anyone who saw the accident nor was the number taken.
 Vreeland was carried to the sidewalk whore he was revived after about fif- teen minutes. AS soon as he was able to walk he was assisted to Kent hall where he has rooms and Dr. Edwin Butler of York street was called. Dr. Butler believes that there are internal injuries, but will not know for a few days how serious they are.
 Last night vreeland was resting com fortably. His father has been sent for and is expected to-day or tomorrow His home is in Jersey City, but he has been spending the summer at Long Branch.

TEACHERS PLEASED
Miss Hall, a League Official, Appointed to High
 School.

At meeting of the Teachers league held yesterday afternoon the appoint ment of Miss Agnes Hall, at present teacher in the Eighth grade at the Orange Street school, to the position of teacher of mathematics in the High school, was announced and received with a great deal of enthusiasm. Miss Hall has been and Is one of the most strenuous workers for the league and her appointment was commented upon as showing that the board of educa- tion was not disposed to hold anyone down because of his or her connection with the league. Miss Hall begins her new duties to-day.
 The session yesterday was an en- thusiastic one throughout, despite the storm and the fact that after its first action 1t lacked a quorum. When the meeting opened just fifty were present and it was at once voted to have the constitution and bylaws of the league printed and distributed. After this ac- ton one of the members left the meet ing, leaving it one shy of a quorum, fifty being present. The others pres ent, however decided to go on with the business. A motion was then passed that one delegate be elected from each school district at a special meeting to be held next Monday and that said delegates have charge of the school journal that the league is about to issue.
 Several teachers who had been at Storrs were present at the meeting and stated that they had seen the petition of the local teachers to the board of education, dealing with the salary question and that it had been agreed on all sides that it was a fine one. They stated that a professor from Montana had been so impressed with its excellence that he secured a copy of it and took 1t home with him with the intention of presenting it to the school authorities of his city. Several applications from newly appointed teachers were received.
