TEAM REORGANIZED
Famous Old Edgewood Baseball Club Now in Charge of
 Westville Team.

This afternoon at Milford the Edge woods will meet the west shore base ball toesers for the second time this season. Last Saturday the visitors were badly treated at Westyilo being unable to score while the local nine sent ten men across the rubber, Tho rivalry between these two teams dates back for over 10 years when the Edge woods had such stars as Tom and Jim Dunn, Joe Theisen, SedgewIck, Leslie Johnson, the old Yale coach, Ben Farm ham, F. w. Grest of the Greist Mfg Co.,, Joe Mcliugh now 'n the city hall, Steve Hlnman, Harmer Bronson, Dr. Frank Parsons. the well known dentist on Chapel street, George Bone, the present manager of the New Haven club, Bill and George Zunder and oth- CTS of equal renown Of these men, Frank Beechcr Is the only one who Is member of the present Edgewood team. For some years he played pro- i fessional ball but a number of years I back decided to attend strictly to his duties In the postofllce service. The Dunn brothers occasionally break into i the game down in New York with va rious athlete club teams. Phil Cor coran Is today perhaps the most effec- i've twirler George Bone has. Sedge- wick, one of Browns former stars is out of the game. Billie Lander Ia coaching the Williams college team and with his brother George expects to play in South Norwalk after July with Billie Nash Leslie Johnson is in business in Philadelphia and a ma jcrity of tn, others have retired from the national game. A few years ago the old EdgewooI team was reorganized by Beecher and Aggett and played for season with the professional hines in the state. In 1905 when the City league was organized these play CTS entered under the name of Vest ville and lost but two games In as many years. This season through the cffcrts and financial aid of P. w.

THE RATIONALE OF SUICIDE.
Beautiful, Sunny Juno Days Move
 Many to Sclf-Dcstructlon.

Suicide has cost France 74,000 lives since 1871, Germany l5S,00O since 1893, and the United States 10000 since 1890"
 If one has any doubt as to the seri- ousness of the suicide problem these figures ought to settle it, They are pre- sented in an article on suicide by MT. George Kennan in the current Me- Clures, and are made more impress sive by the assurance that the suicide rate Is constantly and rapidly ncreas- ing throughout the greater part of the civilized world "ln 1881 the annual sui eide rate of the United states was only l2 per million of the population, and our total number of suicides was only eO5: last year our suicide rate had ris- on to l26 per million, and our suicides numbered iO.7s2"
 To account for this condition Mir, Kennnn analyses all the records avail able. He establishes what he calls "the suicide belt" It lies In the north tenn perate zone, where the climate is most favorable to human development
 
 but Mir. Kennan puts the high rate down, not to the moderate climate. but | to the fact that the zone in question Is 1 the home of the most cultivated races and the seat of the highest and most | complicated civilization, In this zone, he says, the struggle for life Is iierc- est the interference with natural laws is most extensive, and the physical and emotional wear and tear of the eco- homie contest is most acutely felt
 Climate Is not a controlling factor, but weather and season are calculably influential An examination of world statistics leads Mr Kennan to this surprising verdict "The tendency to suicide. throughout the civilized world, is greatest in the pleasantest seasons of the year; 1t is everywhere greatest in the pleasantest month of the pleas- antest season; and In New York city If Is greatest on the dearest and sun niest days of the pleasantest month From the point of view of science, therefore, it is perfectly reasonable ane absolutely accurate to say on a beauti' full, sunny day in early June, This Is regular suicide weather,
 Some law of contrast probably ac- counts for June suicide. And any nor hidlv self-conscious person who has been visited by that abomlnable depres sion which comes in the midst of dance or hilarious party of any sort when one is in 1t but not of It. vii appreciate the gloom that can lngul the scklled egolst on a glorious day in summer.-Chcago Post.

Ginistrelli, and the winner of the Derby to-day added The Oaks 10 her credit, win ming with almost as much ease as she captured the Derby Wednesday. It is impossible to say, however, what would have been the result had not Richard Croker's Rhodora fallen three-quarters of length in front or the winner. This view was also held by the judges, but when Rhodora fell Signor Ginistrelli's Ally was going well within herself. Two lengths sapar- ated the second and third horses.
