SHADOWING MARK TWAIN.

Probably no man was ever more mercilessly shadowed than MarkTwain when he went to England last summer to take his degree from the University of oxford He was seen to cross a street or alley or something in his bathrobe and all American citizens knew about it the next morning in their newspapers. He was dined and entertained to the point of extinction and every dinner had to be reported, with special accounts of the wOrn-Out jokes the old gentleman cracked in his dauntless determination not to go down into a humOrist's grave unfunny. He was supposed to have put his hand on the kings shoulder and had to eX- plain how or why he did O. didn't do it. He had a private secretary who became practically a bulwark to pro- tect him from the unsuitable onslaught of the press.
 The one thing Mark Twain quite properly refused to do was to give a generally humorous interview of his English experiences. He certainly could not have been expected to turn the most impressive receptions of his life into josh stuff for the American Sunday supplements.
 One powerful New York paper made a grandstand play for such a story.
 When l reported to the office at obut II o'clock that night" says the man who had the story in hand. T was told by m- senior that he had a cable from New York signed by the chief and reading, Have cabled Mark Twain give you special Sunday story general impressions. That was the day that Twain took the oxford de- gree and he was not expected back in London for the next two or three days. The interview had to be cabled with in twelve hours and therefore it was obviously a case of going to Oxford.

stampinq Out a Suicide Epidemic.

A suicidal epidemic struck EmpOrla, Kansas. in 1901, says George Kennan in an article on suicide in the June McClure's.
 AS a result, apparently, of the pub lication of the details of two or three suicides of people prominent in that little Kansas town, there broke out an epidemic of self destruction which cul- minated in the sunny. flowery month of June. and which carried the annual suicide rate from about 90 per million to 1865 per million-a rate five times greater than that of Saxonv. MT. Morse. the mayor of the city, con- suited the board of health, and de- cided to stop the publication of the de- tails of suicides in the local papers, even if it should require the employ ments of force. He issued a proclama- ton on the 16th of June, in which he said: I have consulted the board of health. and if the EmpOria papers do not comply with my request, l shall have a right to stop, and l will stop summarily the publication of these suicide details, under the law provid- ing for the suppression of epidemics. There is clearly an epidemic in this city. and although it is mental, it is none the less deadly. Its contagion may be clearly shown to come from what is known in medicine as the psychic suggestion, found in the pub lication of the details of suicides. If the paper on which the local journals are printed had been kept in place infected with smallpox, I could de mand that the journals stop using that paper. or stop publication. If they spread another cOntagion-the con- tagious suggestion of suicide-I be- heve the liberty of the press is not to be considered before the public we'll fare, and that the courts would sus- tain mel in using force to prevent the publication of newspapers containing matter clearly deliteriOus to the pub lie health.'"

SuItan's Fear of Assassins.

Like Most autocrats, the Sultan of Turkey goes about in hourly fear of assassination. and it is on this account that he will never sleep in the dark. His constant dread of death has made him a prey to insomnia, and he does not often sleep for more than three or four hours at a time It is said to cost him nearly e20O a night to have his bedroom guarded. 4for the attendants intrusted with this important mission are all tried retainers, who receive princely salaries for their work. Many are the ruses adopted by the Sultan to escape from wouldbe asssassins. In one of the ante chambers leading to his private apartments is placed a life sized figure of his majestey. for the purpose of misleading any proving revolutionary who might happen to penetrate to far.

Factory Life and Suicide.

Suicide, among civilized peoples, '' writes George Kennan in the June McClure's, "is largely due to morbid intrOspection and long breeding over real or imaginary trouble; and any thing that takes a mans mind away from his own unhappiness, and gives him a keen interest in things or events about him, weallens his sui cidal impulse. An unhappy man might resolve to end his life, and might load q revolver with the in tention of shooting himself; but if he should happen to see a couple of his neighbors fighting in his front door-yard, he would probably lay the revolver aside for a time, and watch the combat. The cause of his un- happiness would still remain, but the current of his thought would sud- denly be diverted into a new channel and his despondency would give way to the excitement of a fresh and vivid interest. War acts upon iuen in the same way, but with greater force.
 statistics show that war restraints suicide by strengthening the bonds of social sympathy and drawing large masses of people more closely to- gether The unhappy man always thinks of himself as lonely, isolated, and out of harmony with his envi- ronment; but when, as result of the victories or defeats of war, he finds himself participating in the triumph or sharing the grief of thousands of other persons, the mere consciousness of sympathetic association with his fellow men becomes a source of com fort.

STUDENTS OF AUSTRIA

The Object is the Restoration of |; Professor at Innsbruck.

Vienna. June 3.-A strike involving nearly 2O.000 students in all the lead ing universities and high schools be- gan today through the renewed ac- tivitiy of Dr. Wahrmund, professor of Catholic ecclesiastical law. whose at titude, as shown by his speech in which he criticised the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church. recently led to differences with the vatican.
 Wahrmund resumed his anti-clerical lectures at Innsbruck university, but the clerical students there caused such disturbances that the authorities clos ed the university.
 The liberal students at Innsbruck called upon the non-clerical students of all universities to organize a gen. eral strike until Wahrmunds academic freedom vas respected.

the cable company up about that ca blegram, to find out what sort of com munication had been sent to Twain. The cable people said they had re- ceived no message for Twain but had received one for his nephew request ing him to urge Uncle Mark to give the interview in question. This sup posed nephew was one Of the two or three most prominent financiers in the United Statesi Obviously the editor in New York thought that he had enlist ed the assistance of an irresistible power.
 After telephoning to pretty nearly all the colleges in oxford finally man. aged to find where Twain was lodged at private house. I told him about the cablegram. which he had not re- ceived up to that time. but I think he consented to see me merely because of my persistence. He was a tired and pathetic old man, deeply impressed by the experiences of the day before. and said in so many words that he did not want to be interviewed. What ma terial he gave me was solemn appre citation of the hOnors conferred upon him. I returned to London and was ordered-against my instincts and convictions-to write a funny story. calling the author Dr Twain and twit- ting him on having become serious as a result of his Oxford dignity.-From "Our Special Foreign Correspondent" by Whitman Bennett, in The Bohemian Magazine for Tune.

harmonize Hnd explain the greatest number of facts is that suicide is most prevalent in countries where education goes hand in hand with highly developed manufacturing in dustry. In Spain. Portugal. Italy and Russia the people have little educa- tion. manufacturing industries are feebly developed. and the suicide rate is low. In SaXony the percentage of iliiteracy is very small. more than half of the population work in fac tories, and the suicide rate is the highest in Europe. I do not dare O assert that even this rude general :ation is warranted by the facts; but, if it were sustained. it would seem to show that suicide is a by-product of the great. compiicate1 machine that we call modern civilization.
