MAY LIGHT DARKER SIDE
r HE anti-suicide bureau of the Sal |

r HE anti-suicide bureau of the Sal
walton Army, which has just been
opened in New York, is expected to
throw considerable light on the darker
side of Hamlet's grim philosophy.
From statistics collected by the army
it seems that suicides in New York
number 22.7 per 100000. In cities like
Hoboken and St. Louis, the proportion
is 1872, and the average of so cities
throughout the county is 179, while
San Francisco has the high average of
1915.
The opening day Of the bureau was
marked by the appearance of four men
and one woman, all conspicuously we'll
dressed. The first was a tall, old He
brew, who stated that he had lost the
savings of lifetime, some $4,000, in
Wall street, and could see nothing

"The Good Old Times"

There are some people who ride
all through the journey of life with
their backs to the horses heads.
They are always looking in the past.
All the worth of things is there.
They are forever talking about the
good old times, and how different
things were when they were young.
There is no romance in the world
now, and no heroism. The very win
tiers and summers are nothing to
what they used to be; in fact, life is
altogether on a small, commonplace
scale.
Now, that is a miserable sort of
thing; it brings a kind of paralyzing
chill owe the life, and petrifies the
natural spring of joy that should be
e leaping up to meet the fresh
new memories that the days keep
bringing.-Brooke HEREFORD.

Attorney Stead's Report to Gov.

Says Railroad Companies Are Thrown
Into Hopeless Bankruptcy as a
Result of Illegal Operations.

opinion on the manipulations of the
Chicago and Alton Railroad proper
ties within the last few years by e.
H. Hartman and some of his inan-
c1al associates, including G. J. Gould,
Jas. St1llman and Mortimer L. Schiff.
The opinion is given in spoons to
a request communicated from Gov
ernor Deneen on March 22 (soon af-
ter the return of Governor Deneen
Il Attorney-General Stead from a
conference with President Roosevelt
at W~ashington), in which the Attor-
ney-General was asked to advise
what his conclusions in the matter
and what action, if any, is contem-
plated by the legal department of the
State.
After setting out the various man

Alton system were subjected, Attor-
ney-General Stead concludes there is

sociates made a total profit of $24,-
648,600 out of their operations in
volving the Alton properties. AS a
result of this enormous profit to
themselves the railroad companies of
