To Eton PuiciuVs-
Intense interest is manifested in
the novel scheme to stay the hands
of nelf-destroyers nnd to render all
possible aid to the despondent by
the anti-suicide commission recent
ly appointed by Mayor Tom L.
Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio. May
or Jolinsc 11 says:
"It is the grandest work ever at
tempted here. The commission's
primary object is to prevent suicide.
Suicides and attempted suicides are
not not always proof of insanity,
though the fact of self-destruction
always suggests it. I do not hesi
tate to say that insane persons fre
quently suicide but the deed does
not necessarily indicate unbalanced
mind.
The increased number of such
deaths recently must be considered
along with the increase of popula
tion in the strenuous efforts neces
sary to maintain existence today.
The foreign element, which is grow
ing rapidly, must also be remem
bered. Immigrants alter their ar
rival become home sick when the
rosy ideas of America brought with
them fiom the old country, are dis
appointed. "I think it is safe to say that 60
per cent, of suicides here belong
to the foreign element. Alcohol
ism is certainly the basis of a large
percentage of insanity, but I should
not connect it to that extent with
suicide. Worry Irotu any cause
whatever, and low nervous condi
tion are chiefly responsible.
"This commission will investi
gate these conditions, and wherever
possible will render such assistance
as will make the victim of melan
choly see the brighter side of life.
Each of these men has had much
experience in sociological work and
is well fitted for this particular
task."
"Most suicides are caused by de
spondency, but the primary cause
of the despondency is what we
should look into. If we can help
only one unfortunate I consider it
work well done," is the way oue
member of the committee looks at
the matter.
"In my opinion present social
conditions and lack of employment
causes much of the despondency
and dissatisfaction with one's lot in
life which so often ends in suicide,"
was another's comment.
"In the first nine months of this
yeai eighty-six persons killed them
selves in Cuyahoga County," said
the third, who continued:
"This is almost ten for each
mouth. Alienists of this city say
suicide is increasing. The need of
some means to counteract this c n
dition has been felt. We are will
ing anri anxious to aid any one who
is in the depths of despair and to
whom life no longer seems worth
living. If any unlortunate man,
woman, boy or girl who is so dis
couraged that life seems not worth
living will communicate with us,
the case will be taken up aud we
will see what crui be done. How
many suicides would be prevented
if the sick, poor and despondent
Ind friends to go to, a place to get
relief? I dare say many.
"Of the S6 suicides in the first
nine months of IQ05 the one word
'despondency' is the keyword of all.
Hard drinking, lack cf work, sick
ness, domestic troubles, lives of
shame, cause women to suicide.
The records show that the latter
cause is more frequent in the case
of women. Women usually choose
to end their lives with carbolic acid,
men with pistols or knives."
The question is a psychological
and social one well worth careful
study.

SALTZER PAYS flI3 1'ET-
Jerry Saltzer, the genial musical
instrument and sewing machine
dealer, and enthusiastic Republican
made an agreement with Frank
Rice of Kspy that if Berry was elect
ed state treasurer, Saltzer would
wheel Rice from Market Square to
Jefferson street aud back. Rice
weighs 25 pounds. Saltzer lost
the bet and 011 Saturday evening
ne paid it in the presence of a large
crowd. Every time Saltzer stopped
to rest he hurrahed for Berry. The
crowd had lots of fun and Jerry
took it a)l in good part, and seemed
to be enjoying himself as well s
the rest of them. We don't fee
how it happened that Saltzer didn't
vote for Berry. Most everybody
else did.

Nearly Fivo and a Qturter Million Tom
Produced In October.
The total anthracite coal tonnage
for October was 5.205,694 tons,
compared with 5,131,542 tons in
October 1904. For the present ten
nioiiths of the present year the ton
nage aggregated 50.5y3.504 tons,
asngai.ist 47.305,31 tons for th:
corresponding period of 1904 The
Reading's portion of the October
output was 1,112, 000 tons as com
pared with i,o6S,ooo in September.
These figiccs, however, do not ie
present the full amount of coal
handled by the company during
the month, as the great demand for
anthracite made it necessary for the
company to draw on its reserve in
order to meet its contracts and fully
100,000 tons were withdrawn from
storage yards.
Government Seed Distributed-
The annual distribution of vege
table and flower seeds by the De
partment of Agnculture will begin
on December 1 and before planting
time it is expected that the entire
amount, aggregating 38,000,000
packages will be in the hands of
the people 111 all parts of the coun
trv. Congress for the past several
years his appropriated $290,000 for
this purpose, but a portion of tLe
amount is used for foreign experi
ment work and other kindred mat
ters.
The bulk of the 38,000,000 pack
ages is subject to the order of Sena
tors and Representatives for distri
bution among their constituents,
the Secretary of Agriculture reserv
ing one-fifth of the entire amount
to supply the statistical crops cor
respondents, the weather bureau
aud for other purposes.
The country has been divided in
to six sections with regard to cli
mate and soils and the seeds will be
sent only to those localities in
which their propagation and growth
is believed to be especially adapted.
In addition to those of the vege
table and flower variety the depart
ment sends o it quantities of cotton,
forage and field seeds to localities
to which they are best suited and
from Wiiich it is thought good re
sults may be obtained.
