Within the past few months the po lice have reported a number of cases where children not over thirteen years of age haye either attempted to or did kill themselv BAYS 4 recent 1e of the Philadelphia (Pa.) Pre Three of these cases resulted in_ death and were sul;{un'ls or a coroner’s inquest. The evidence adduced has been carefully analyzed, and proves that a suicidal mania is now prevalent among children of tender n this city. A most markable stance connected with these inquests is the fagt that nearly all of the infantile suicidef are girls whose ages range from eleven to thirteen years. The last attempt was that of thirteen- ld Florence MeClelland, of No. Mutter street, who tried to take her life by swallowing a dose of lauda- num. The first attempt at suicide brought to the attention of the police occurred on March 9. when t ve-yvear-old An- Niblick of 5 street W found dead, hanging in a room at he home. She. prior to her death, wa playmate of Florence MeClelland. inguest held before the coroner prove conclusively that the youngster had d. liberately taken her life. The facts in this case were to the effect that the girl had stolen a number of handkerchiefs, und, being afraid of chistisement from her father, which was threatened her if she did not return them to the owner, caused her to take her life. Not long after this Florence McClelland, as stated above, attempted suicide, and left a note addressed to her mother, stating, **I am going to join Annie Nib- lick.” She swallowed 5 cents worth of laudanum, but the timely arrival of a stomach pump saved her from death. Only three d elapsed, and then George Simon, aged thirteen years, of No. 1905 Gerhardt street, was found hanging toatree on the outskirts of the First ward-by a policeman. An inquest was held, when 1t was shown that the lad was incorrible, and had ended his life in preference to chastisement. In speaking of these deaths and ex- plaining his theory asto the cause of them, Coroner Ashbridge said ST have never ordered post-mortem ex aminations in any of the cases referred to because I did not think it necessary. I'rom my experience and personal ob- servation 1 believe that dime novels, trashy literature, and even newspaper sensations have a great deal to do with it. The youngster, Simon, no doubt, wanted to be a hero, while the little girls who have, met a sad fate thaught they wi aking the part of heroines. The parents of the children, in some instances, are to be blamed for reading the sensational new per accounts of these tragic deaths to their offsprings. Gen, Jackson and Abraham Lincoln. General Simon: Cameron, hale and hearty in his ejghty-ninth year,was the guest of the Cameron club in Philadel- on the occusion of its banquet in ration of its twenty-Lifth anniver- sary. In responding to the toast in his honor he u& ‘When the club was organized the times were very trying. Mr. Lincoln was then looking forward to the possibilities of a second term,and it seemed to me, who saw him frequently at this period, that he was frightened over his chances., He sent for me one day, and told me his doubts about the renomination, and I tried to set them at rest. I told him that no matter how much his oppouents in the party might contrive, they could not defeat him,and I finally said? I will tell you an inci- dent in my career during President Jackson’s term which may help you out. Near the close of the term of President Jackson—who, like our pr sent executive, M Cleveland, had said he only wanted one term, but afterward changed his mind [laughter| —L was sent for to come to Washington from New Orleans, where I was at the time, to see President Jackson and ad- Vise with bim as to what could be done toward securing a second term. When Tarvived in Washington and met Gen- eral Jackson he told me he wanted me to do what I could toward helping him to a second term. He said: “‘Cameron will go home and you get the legislature of Peunsylva nia to pass avesclution ing me to stand for a second term?’ said: “I can not do that; I am known as a one-term man. But T can have the resolution drawn up in Washington and get some one to take it to Harrisburg and have it passed.” JLaughter.] This was done, and in due time the legi ture of Pennsylvania requested ¢ Jackson by resolution to reconside previous declaration not to be a candi- date for re-clection and stand for another term, which he finally reluctantly con- sented to do.” [Great laughter.] 1 told Mr. Lincoln this story, when he said: ‘But what is that gotto do with me?’ ‘I'll show you, Mr. President,” said I, ‘I'll go to “Harrisburg and get the old Jackson resolution copied and get it passed by the legislature, requesting you to stand for a nomination.” The dew seem to please him,and accord- ingly we ot the Jackson resolution and struck out Jackson’s name and all about the state bank, and had it adopted by the Pennsylvania legislature, and you know tho rest.”” [Great lnughte -~ Tobacco Chewers Decreasing. New York Pre: ‘When the elder Charles Dickens was in this country on his first visit there was no one of the American habits which called forth from the great novelist more condem- nation thun the one of chewing tobacco, But times chauge. and national as well as personal habits change with them. America is no longer a natios tobacco-chewe and that uging tobacco is gradually passing away. Every tobacconi great change that i what in one sense m public taste. A tol trade is not exclusively umong sailors, says that he does not sell one-half as mich chewing tobacco to-day as he did ten years ago, and not more than one- third as much as twenty hears ago. Said one of them a few days ago: ‘The falling off in the use of chewing tobaccu is a great deal more apparent here in the east than it isin the south 1d west, but it is noticeable every- where.
