Suicide Statistics.

Suicides in the United Kingdom
have increased by 200 per cent. in
fifty years, and by $50 per cent. in
twenty-five years. In 1904, the last
year for which official figures r
available, 1923 men and 822 women
took their own lives in England and
Wales alone, while the total in the
metropolitan police district was $50.
At least an equal number of persons
were prevented from accomplishing
their intention. How rapid has been
the increase during recent years may
be seen from the fact that suicides in
England and Wales have increased
from 478 women and 1929 men in
1885 to,S22 women and 1923 men in
1904. There have been more than
$4,000 suicides in England and Wales
in twenty years.
Bad as is the case of England, in
other countries the evil is even worse.
According to statistics recently pub
lished by the Swiss Government,
there have committed suicide during
the last thirty-five years 16,640 per-
sons in Switzerland, 323,600 persons
in Germany and 274,000 persons in
France.
German official figures put the
number Of suicides in Europe yearly
at 10000. Cases in the German en-
pire itself have risen from 1850 in
1895 to 1870 in 1905. In America
the number is about 5000 annually,
and is increasing.-Socia Gazette.

4 Slight Gap.

A genealogist, like a poet, must be
born, not made. The naive statements
offered by persons whose one desire is
to show a lineage which will secur
them admittance to some exclusive
organization drive the real %genealo-
gist to rage or tears.

said an indignant young woman to a
friend. MY line is perfectly clear
except in one place. It's so absurb!'
What is the troublesome placer
asked the genealogist.
"Oh, it's in the eighteenth CEN
tury," said the young woman, with
much irritation. They just failed to
keep the records, of course. Of all
foolish things! Why, I can remem-

SPOKE TO NO MAN FOR 20 YEARS.
Oldest Maiden in Indiana Never For
gave Sex For Faithless Lover.

Lawrenceburg, Ind.-Miss Sarah
Ann Daniel, ninety-five years of age,
died a few days ago at her country
home two miles north of this city.
She is believed to have been the old
est maiden in Indiana. For nearly
seventy years she had lived in the
same neighborhood and had refused
absolutely to have any communica-
ton whatever with men.
Tradition has it that Miss Daniel
was one of the most popular girls in
the county when she was sixteen and
that she engaged herself to a young
oman who vas teaching school IN a
&distant part of the county. He Wis
tied her regularly, but at the close OF
school term he left the county with
out a word of explanation and Miss
Daniel never heard from him again.
She was never afterward seen IN
company, and when her father died,
and later her mother, she was so
heavily yelled at the funeral that her
face could not be e She contin-
ued to occupy the old homestead, but
all business in connection with the
farm was transacted through neigh
bors of her own sex and it Is said that
she never spoke to a man after her
lover disappeared.

LULL IN ATTACK ON TRUSTS.
Purdy, Author Of the Injuction-Receiv-
ership Method, Goes to Europe
For q Rest.

Washington, D. C.-Milton D. Pur-
dy, assistant to the Attorney-General
and author of the injunction-receiver-
ship method of dealing with the
trusts, has sailed for Europe for a
vacation of six weeks or two months.
1t is probable that there will be no
great activity in trust prosecutions
during the next two months, for At
torney-General Bonaparte spends
most of his time at his country seat
in Maryland Solicitor-General Hoyt
Is already in Europe and Assistant
Acknowledgement McReynolds, who
prepared, the. case against the So
called tobacco monopoly, accompanies
Mr.. Purdy on his European journey.
Only two more antitrust suits
are in immediate contemplation. The
case against the Du Pont Powder
Corporation Is in print, ready for the
final approval of the Attorney-Gen-
eral, and the papers in the case have
been submitted to him. The other
proposed action is against the In
ternational Harvester Company,
which is declared by the Government
officers to be a monopoly In restraint
Of interstate commerce.
The investigation of the Harves-
ter Company has never been COM
pleted, although the preliminary ex-
animation, which was enough to sat-
isfy officers of the Department Of JUS
tice that some action should be taken
against the corporation, was COM
pleted some time ago. The prosecu-
ton OF the Harvester Company may
possibly go over until the autumn.
An experiment will be made in the
suit against the Tobacco Company,
which is charged with violating the
Sherman law. An Injunction will be
asked against it to prevent 1T engag-
ing in interstate commerce, and the
court will be- asked to appoint a re-
ceiver

BURIED BY FALLING WALLS.
Many Killed or Hurt When Old Build
ing at London, Ontario, Collapses.

LIE "t LSAo~
London, Ontario.-Twenty women
and children and men were killed or
injured by the collapse c. Crystal
Hall, on Dundas street.
Crystal Hall, an old three-story
brick building, a landmark OF Lon
don, Is being ~remodelled; the WORK
men had taken out several OF It's
wooden supports and were replacing
them with iron pillars. Almost with
out warning the halls ancient n
rickety front wall fell In Dundas
street.
The work of rescue in the debris
was continued during the night n
day. The total of known dead Is
eight, and this number will probably
be increased to eleven or twelve.
Many persons were rescued from
the cellar Of the stores during the
early hours of the morning, practi-
cally uninjured. A woman with a
baby in her arms told her rescuers
that she and the child were unin-
iured, but were unable to move. She
called for water, and it was given to
her through a tube. The rescuers
reached her at 3 a. N. She was I'M
injured and the baby was nursing at
her breast.
In various hidden spots in the ruins
five girls, presumably employed IN
the shops, were located. They were
historical, only their shrieks and
groans telling that they lived: they
were incapable of telling their inJu-
ries.
The known dead are W. T. Hamil-
ton, Frank Smith, Clara Mullins, Will
liam Tamblin, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Howell, Joseph Long and an unldentl-
fed man.

Beauty Specialists Tell Women 1t

London.-Beauty specialists here
are trying to kill the women's So
called cartwheel hat, which has
reached enormous, tentlike dimen-

To sit in a carriage in comfort a
woman would be obliged to put the
feather Of her hat out of one window,
the bunch of flowers out Of the other
and the bow of ribbon through a trap
door in the roof. AS she cannot DO
this she sits crouched, with her shout
ders huddled, her neck bent and that
expression Of patient resignation on
her face which Is the sure forerun-
ner of wrinkles.

modified. A great majority of b
men of the present day want the

JAPAN TOO POOR TO FIGHT
Chairman Hull, of the Military Com
mittee. Doesn't Expect a Clash.

Des Moines, Iowa.-"The probable
ity of war between Japan and the
United States is extremely remote"
said Congressman J. T. Hull. chair
man of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs. 1.-THE ruling powers in
Japan do not seek war, and it is GER
tain that the United States prefers
peace. Of all the greater nations in
the world Japan is the least prepared
for war, and she will not rush heed
lessly into conflict for small causes.
"a nation needs money and lots OF
it to engage in a war. She must be
in a position to borrow vast sums.
Japan is in no such a position, but Is
heavily in debt as a result Of the
Russian-Japanese war. She borrowed
money from all quarters Of the globe
and received no indemnity from Rus
STA.
Japan is truly hard up. She has
pledged her taxes on many products
and other revenues to keep up the
necessary payments on money already
borrowed, and no nation in the world
would think of lending her money
under these conditions, and not espe-
cially to engage IN war WIN tnls
country.
"In the next place England, which
has formed an offensive as we'll as
defensive alliance with Japan, would
never countenance a war witR the
United States; at least she would abb
solutely not become involved. Japan
would need the support of some ma
ton such as England, and that h
could never secure in a war with US.
However, i am heartily in favor
of Immediately fortifying the Philip
pine Islands and Hawaii. This ma
ton has a great deal of land, but |
do know that the United State will
never be Inundated by having any
nation take one single foot of that
land, and more than 100000 men
are ready to lay down their lives to
prevent that humiliation. Japan
| knows this"

A SMALL SECRET
Couldn't Understand the Taste of his
Customers.

Two men we're discussing the
various food products being sup
piled in such variety and abundance.
One, a grocer, said II frequently
try a package or so of any certain
article before offering it to my trade,
and in that way sometimes form a
different idea than my customers
have.
For instance, I thought I would
try Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such a call for
it: At breakfast I didn't like it and
supper proved the same, so l natur-
ally concluded that my taste was diff
ferent from that Of the customers
who bought it right along.
A day or two after, l waited on o
lady who was buying a Csc package
and told her l couldn't understand
how one could fancy the taste Of Pos
tum.
L know just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler
on the stove for just fifteen minutes
and ten minutes of that time it SIM
mered, and perhap, five minutes it
boiled, now if you will have it left
to boil full fifteen minutes after it
commences to boil, you will fiEd a

A MURDER OVER TELEPHONE.
Official of Lowell, Mass, Heard
Screams, Pistol Shot and
Falling Body.

Lowell. Mas s.-Hearing' a murder
over a telephone was the surprising
experience of Bernard j. Gately, a
constable, who heard the creams and
the shot when Mrs. Mary A. Nc
Bride, a milliner, was fatally attacked
in her Office. :.
In her millinery shop at No. 229
Dutton street, before her, helpless
employees, Mrs. Mcbride was shot
down, by a man, who rushed in, fired
a revolver at her and escaped. The
woman, at the st. John Hospital, re-
gained consciousness long enough to
say:-"John Kelley shot me-"
The constable who had the re-
markable experience was some dis
lance away at his Office in the Cen
trail Building.
He called the milliner by telephone
regarding a legal matter. The voice
at the other end of the wire an
sWered:-"This Is Mrs. Mcbride, and
I refer you to my attorney, Daniel j.
Donahue."
Then the constable heard a scuf-
fe and loud cries, my God, don't
shoot me! Don't shoot mel"
Then he heard clearly over the tel
ephone a revolver shot, followed by a
woman's moaning, which grew faint
er, until all was still.
Gately was paralyzed for a moment
at the unusual sounds over the wire,
but gathering his senses, rushed for
the millinery store.
He found Mrs. Mcbride lying un-
conscious with an ugly wound over
her right eye.
In one corner was Miss Vanasse,
the milliner's assistant, half fainting
from the experience and moaning
that Mrs. Mcbride had been killed.
The assistant explained that the
shooting was done by John Kelley,
who was madly in love with the mar
ried woman.
Kelley was found lei the scene
of the, shooting and was arrested
charged with attempt to murder.
