SUICIDE ON THE INCREASE.
More Misery iH New York Than in

The rate of suicides in this city has
increased tenfold in the last so years
while the mortality rate has decreas-
ed. These were facts emphasized by
DR.. Edward i. Devine, professor OF
social at Columbia Uniyer-
Charity Organization Society. In tn /.

given for the New York School OF
Philanthropy.
Whatever may be the cause ot sui
eide. the fact, DR.. Deyine said, was an
evidence of misery. The city at pres
ent has 1000 suicides q Year: last

for any previous season. Forty-three
cases Of attempted suicide were care
fully investigated. Two were directly
due to poverty, and four to unem-
ployement. The remaining 81 were
laid TO q variety Of reasons, which led
the Investigators to the conclusion
that poverty is not the greatest cause
of suicide.
Statistics also show tina the age at
which the greatest number Of cases
occur is from so to 60. Three men

are more suicides among ProtestantS
than Catholics, more among oma

How Consumer is Deceived in Alleged
Reductions.

There are in the Payne tariff bill q
few illustrations Of the ingenious way
in which a duty car be raised, while
the artless is made TO be
lieve that it has been lowered.
Take, for instance. linoleum, an
article OF common use among those
who are not particularly well to do.
Under the present law there is a duty
OF 8 cents a square yard and Is per
cent advalorem on all under twelve
feet in width. On all oVnr that width
the duty is 30 cents q yard and 20
per cent ad valoren. The Ways and
Means committee. in its summary Of
the reductions says "Linoleu:n above
nine feet from 20 cents n square yard
and 20 per cent ad Valorem to II
cents and Is per cent ad Valorem.'
h is an increase. not q decrease.
There We're imported q year ago
about 10000 Square yards of limo
leum above twelve feet in width and
4,S74.000 square yards under that
width. Probably th~ree-fourths Of the
goods paying the lower duty ranged in
width from over nine feet TO nearly
twelve feet. SO what really is pro
posed is that the bulk Of the imports
shall pay -four cents more q square
yard than at present.
Here is a display Of ingenuity not
of a praiseWOrthy kind. The conSum-
ers may not be able to see any fun in
the joke. The Pennsylvania manufac-
turers who asked for and got the
higher duty do see the fun of ii.
In the case of cast polished plate
glass an attempt is made to make an
increase in q duty seem harmless by
coupling with it a nominal decrease
duties on all sizes under 12D
square inches are raised. That covers
the sizes employed for furniture pur-
poses. The duties on the larger sizes
are lowered. Taking the 100 impor-
tations as a basis. this would mean
