SUICIDE ITS FIGURES AND FACTS-

A hlld wife rharried when she should be still in the

i grammar school ends her life by swallowing acid in

TrentonI-A discouraged book agent turns on the gas and so

dies in his room in Brooklyn-A young lawyer crazed by a firs horror blows out

his brains in Long Island CityAltogether the local papers yesterday chronicled six

y successful efforts at selfmurder and one attempt which° failed

It Is a melancholyreciwd These of voluntary4 death are duplicated and day by day we grow

more hardened to the fact of their occurrence They-

are all in the lifetime of the news1I

Nevertheless it is still possible to make one pauseby a contemplation of some aggregates in suicide

e r e t-

t In 1891 there were recorded 3531 cases of selfdestruction in the United States In 1903 the number

a increased to 8597Out of a population of eightymillions eight and a

half thousand persons may be missed only Inspots One may reflect however that for such a

4 number of people to slay themselves is as though awhole town of size of Annapolis Md or almostLong Branch N J had by its own vote and will andact all within a year consigned Itself to annihilation

That view of the matter is more Impressive one-

S may agree0 a e e-

i Inthe current number of the Independent George-P Upton a Chicago editorial writer presents many

u interesting figures on suicide both in America andabroad-

It is not to be assumed that the frightful increase in1 selfkillings is confined to this country France shows-

an increase In twentyfive years from a rate of 157per 100000 of inhabitants to a rate of 224 Amongforeign cities rating by the 100000 the Dresden latestsuicide figures are 51 Paris 42 Berlhi36 Vienna 28Stockholm 27 London 23

Students of nations and conditions will draw theirown inferences from the fact that it is Russia thecountry of oppression and depression which shows no

b increase in the suicide ratee e e e 0-

t Mr Upton finds that in all countries suicides arcmore common among men than among women

Of 77617 selfmurderers recorded In this countryII in the thirteen years of which 1891 is the first 57317

were men But the increase suicide Is greater amongwomen Fifty years ago five times as many men aswomen killed themselves twentyfive years ago theproportion was three to one now it is two and a halfto one

i It Is also noted sadly that children are becoming ini < swelling numbers conspicuous in the lists of those who> t take their own lives

tvr slight from a playmate a reprimand at home aP rebuke from a teacher envy at the success of a com-

panion¬

f r disappointment over an cRhemerallove attach ¬

r1 mentthese are among the boys

zr n and girls to seek solace In selfinflicted death

1 Do also indicate the need for a little more-intimate counsel and confidence as safeguards in the

i homes-

M r used either poison or the pistol Before 1894 shootingwas most In favor Since then poison has the

yl M fatal list The Evening World has heretofore calledI the attention of the lawmaking authorities not without

reason It may be observed to the ease with whichcarbolic add may be obtained in the city drugstores

cheapness-Of those persons who shunned pistol and poison
