Suicide of Bows.

Paris, July Not for many years
have the people Of France snd psrticu-
larIy the ciiizsus OF Paris been aroused
over problems relating TO the French
children as they are today over the
alarming extent ton hich young children,
between the sges of IA and l6 years,
have been committing suicide.
Within the past month nine children,
apparently without cause, hsve delib'
erately put an end to their lives. While
the police, and the other public officials
we're attempting to nnearth reason for
the children's mania for self destru ction,
Msnrice Blrres, playwright, author and
deputy, representing the department OF
the Seine, 10 which Paris is located,
made an impsssioned speech before the
chamber, in which he blsmes the whole
suicidal tendency upon the teachers in
the public schools.
1t has been shown that in the Oler-
mont School, boys institution 10 Paris,
there existed a suicide club, az complete
in its ramificstions as the mythical or
ganizations of similar nature related in
stories of the most morOse authors. A
few days after the club organized the
first "drawing' was taken. The lad
drawing the fatal number, blew out his
brains before his class of school compan-
ions. Scarcely had the revolver dropped
from his fingers to the floor ehen COM
panion of the victim picked it up, msn-
aging to hide it so secretly tina, it has
not yet been located. The parents Of
the other children in the ClermonI
School, are in mortal fesr that Their
children will be the next to use the re-
volver.

Excitement in Southern Italv.

Rome, July Panic prevails through
out southern Italy as result of the
prediction of chronological experts that
more severe earthquake shocks than
have yet been experienced will shake
the entire Mediterranean district in the
near future. Reports from Oalabris
and Sicily show the population is in a
state of widest excitement and fear.
The inhabitants OF towns in southern
Italy are fleeing from their homes to
the open country where they hope to
escape the dangers Of the quake. 10
their frantic preparations for fight the
Inhabitants have draHn out all of their
saviDgs from the smaller banks, loaded
their personal effects on any kind Of
vehicles available and deserted their
homes. Along the country roads
throughout the south long trains Of nom
d script wagons, carts aud bsrrows,
drawn by men, women and children,
are hurrying frsntically to the farm and
vineyard districts The question of
food 10 supply these travellers threatens
to grow serious, and the authorities are
at a loss to cope with the situation.
Paris, July IA large area of that
section of France bordering on the Med
iterrean WAS shaken by severe earth
quake shock lasting several seconds today.
The inhabitants of the towns centering
about Oogpac we're badly frightened and
rnsheG from their houses in terror. Re.
ports say that the houses we're badly
shaken and walls shattered, though that
no deaths are recorded. The earthquake
was accompanied by heavy rsinslorm.
Despite the drenching they received,
many families refused to return to their
houses fearing repetition of the shock.
Every effort of the government to
sllay the panic has been without avail.
The earthquake experts confidently
assert today that the general earthquake
which they are sure will come tomorrow
will be followed by re-percussiVe shocks
of the severest character 10 central and
southern America.

IT IS announced from Washington
that the end of the long tariff pOwpow
is at hand. The end does not justify
the means and the means do not excuse
the end. This measure is the reverse Of
the tariff revision which the republican
party lsst year intended TO have the
country understand that it was promis-
iug. IL will not reduce taxation, but
increase it. It will not increase the MS
tional revenue in any substantial meas
ure except by the imposition OF new
tax in the nature of direct taxation.
Even 10 the judgment of the leading
republican papers it is no improvement
on the Diugley law, but rather more
Objectionable. As the Philadelphia
Record says "There is not line in
the bill that explains why the national
convention should have promised tariff
revision, or why the president should
have summoned an extra session of Con-
gress TO revise the tariff, or why Congress
should have spent nearly four months
on the task"
