STATISTICS FOR 1909 Donations for Charity Broke Records. Of $150,041,253 Given Away John D. Rockafeller Was Chid Donor. SUICIDES AND EXECUTIONS. The statistics of gifts for the ben efit of humanity as compiled by the Chicago Tribune for 1909 shows the greatest givings ever. The year 1909 has been charac terized by extraordinary benefi cence, the total donations and be quests amounting to $150,641,253. Of this sum $70,636,487 represents gifts and $77,604,866 bequests. The whole amount has oeeu distrib uted as follows: To charity, $67, 446,421; to educational iustitutions, $46,122,241; to religious iustitu tions, $22,443,885; to art museums, galleries and public improvements, $8,616,410; to libraries, $3,012,293. In the distribution of this hand some beueficence women have play ed no unimportant part. Their contributions by gift and bequest amount to $13,293,930. The largest amouutof gifts here tofore were made in 1907, with an amount slightly in excess of $140, 000,000. DECREASE IN SUICIDES. In the life tragedies of the year there shows a small decrease over 1908, the number being 10,230 as compared with 10,832. The pro portion of suicides as between men and women remains about the same as last year, the record this year being 7,201 males and 3,029 fe males. Physicians head the list among professional men, though the number is smaller than for many years past. Ten prominent attorneys, nine clergymen, seven college professors, six journalists and four artists also committed sui cide during the year. The suicides arising from business losses have greatly decreased, being but 81, as compared with over 600 last year. Of these 81.33 were bankers or bank employes criminally involved. The cause of these suicides are as follows, the classification, as in the case of homicides, being a general one; Despondency, 4,760; un known cause, 1,487; insanity, 559; domestic infelicity, 834; ill health, 936; business losses, 81; liquor, 130; disappointment iu love, 243. The significant feature of the above figures is the large iuctease There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases pr.t together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts dirtctly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any ca-c it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J.

The number of legal executions, which for a few years past has been decreasing, shows an increase, U ing 107 as compared with 92 in 1908. The number of lynching in 1909 was 87, a falling off of 13 as com pared with 1908. In 1892 the high water mark, 235 was reached; in 1905, the low mark of 66. The number of deatns by all kinds of personal violence in 1909, except suicides and lynching, as reported by telegraph and recorded in 1 he various States and Territor ies, was 8,103, a decrease of 849 over 1908. It must be borne in mind that this record does not in clude merely those cases which are usually classed as murder or sui cide, but every form of death by personal violence, and that the sub joined classification is a general one iu some respects, particularly as to deaths arising from quarrels. A significant feature of these fig ures is the increase of murders by highwaymen and thugs, being 185 more than in 1908. During the year there have been fifty double, eleven triple a id one quadruple murders, fen murders committed by Highbinders and twenty eight by the Hlack Hand. On the innumerable base ball fields 30 were killed in 1909, and 74 seriously injured. Oil the foot ball field 31 were killed and 246 in jured. These include both ama teur and professional players. By automobile accidents 562 per sons have Ixen killed and 2,552 se riously injured during the year. Rural Delivery. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General DeGraw in a circular let ter to the postmasters of the U. S. calls attention to the fact from re ports of the carriers, that in mail ing letters, patrons of the rural service deposit for postage in their respective boxes the huge total of 300,000,000 pennies, which have to be picked up by the carrier re garoless of weather conditions. That frequently there is a delay from not enough postage, and more frequently the carriers who are serving their patrons iu all kinds of weather; lose the pennies from their hands being gloved or chilled, in the snow, all such losses must be made up by the carrier. He "sug gests that the attention of the ben eficiaries of rural service be ca'.led to the hardship this entails on men not over paid at the best, and sug gests the securing of postage stamps in advance so that it may be obviated. Those served by rural carriers from Bloonisburg should make anote of this matter and as si:t in maintaining good service by keeping themselves supplied with stamps and stamp all mail before it is placed in the box. A delay of two minutes at each box means that the carrier would mi.-s his mail and cause a delay o( a day in the service. $3.50 Recipe Cures Weak Kidneys, Free Relieves Urinary and Kidney Troubles, Backache, Strain ing, Swelling, Etc.

Pain in Heart "For two years I had pain in my heart, back and left side. Could not draw, a deep breath or lie on left side, and any little exertion would cause palpita tion. Under advice I took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and Nervine. I took about thirteen bottles, am in better health than I ever was, and have gained 14 pounds." MRS. LILLIE THOMAS, Upper Sandusky, Ohio. For many years Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy has been very successful in the treatment of heart troubles, because of its tonic cfTcct upon the heart nerves and muscles.
