The two Hungarian dances of Brahma
so welf known and yet always popular
and not so easy to play either, were
delightfully done. Number 8 is the best
known and the swine and rhythm were
so well sustained that a good many feet
were going. The sixth with more slow
movements and an occasional dashing
finish was eharmiiig.
As for the soloists little more could be
asked. Mr.- Bet t man filled the mnst san

Miss Helen 31. Moore Starts
Movement to Prevent Self
Destruction Money Will
Be Advanced to Fight Suicide.
New York, May 6 Aroused to action
by the alarming; and aver Increasing
number of suicides In New York recent
ly, a number of young men and women,
wall known tor their philanthropic and
religious work, are banding; themselves
together to discourse self riantrurttnn
The person responsible for the move-
meat, and possibly the most enthusias-
tlc or them all, ia Miss Helen M. Moore.
01 no idisi iriy-econa street, an. in
structor of Sunday school teachers.
The aim of Miss Moore's Anti-Suicide
society, differing so far from that of
the Salvation army, which 'has already
made some steps In thai direction,- is to
prevent despondency rather than to re
claim those already in despair. After a
sufficient number of members have been
enrolled they intend to raise a fund to
be used at the discretion of the society
to prevent people, especially young peo
ple, from becoming downhearted to the
point of taking their own lives. Thia
Is the sggestion of Miss Gertrude Rela,
of 106 Beech street, Richmond Hill.
"I have considered and discussed the
astounding number of suicides many
times," said Miss Rels yesterday, "and
It has seemed to me that the whole
problem haa no solving until we can
convince people of the utter cowardice
of it all. The rush of the times the
never-ceasing hurry and bustle of tbi
modern New York, which is merciless
in ltd demands, the heartlessness which
will allow only the survival of the fit
test is to blame for the deplorable
condition which day after day drives
some poor, despondent, hopeless, crea
ture to suicide.
"W Axe Swamped by Mission."
"We are ewamped by rescue leagues
and missions all for the reclaiming of
people who need never have been In the
position in which they tlnd themselves.
But where, in all New York, with Its
millions spent yearly 4a charity and for
philanthropic purposes, have we an or
ganization for preventing the suicides
which are of daily occurrence appal
lingly frequent of young people tired
of the" unequal struggle, in which they
have had no helping hand and where
no one will give them a chance?
"This, then, is my idea: Why not ob
tain a fund, from which young men and
women, without too much ref tape, can
draw certain sums, with the smallest
possible amount of interest, to be paid
back as they are able. It seems to me
that the chances that anything would
be lost would be small, and that the
benefit would be large and substan
tial. I do not belleva that It la tha
happy, proficient worker who evef
thinks of suicide."
Mis Moore said:
"I am simply appalled when I read,
day after day, the notices of suicides
which the newspapers carry. Every day
it ts on the increase, and no effort
seems to be made by any church or
anybody to stop It, or. to Influence
would-be suicides against self-destruction.
True, the Salvation Army made some
sort of move in that direction, and 1
am sure, accomplished and accom
plishes much good among the class of
people with whom its members come in
contact But why would not an organi
sation on a broader basis ,an organiza
tion wherein all the churche and church
workera might unite, be of vastly
greater benefit T .

"I am h earthy in favor of ome or-
fanlzed effort along broad lines to aid
hese people- who need tt so much. I
meet many In m v work who are nf th
same opinion, and I am sure that If
aome- intelligent effort a made, we
could aet together an earnest bndv ttt
men and women Into an anti-suicide or
ganization, which . -would i ... render -that

United States Colored Sol
diers Boycott Saloons
That Raise Prices.
Watertown, May 5. Enlisted men of
the two - battalions of the Twenty
fourth Infantry, negro, stationed .at
Sackett' Harbor, 11 miles from here,
openly announced today that they will
boycott Watertown. They say that
when they need anything that they can
not buy .In the military village, they
will wait until they can get two tor
three days off and then go to Syracuse
The hatred of Watertown started Im
mediately after the arrival of the regi
ment when signs were posted In drink
ing places that prices were subject to
change without notice. The object of
this was to advance the price for
negroes.
To. them the price of beer wa 60
cent and whiskey cost $1. Added to
this was the breaking of tha glasses in
the presence of the negro soldiers.
The regimental band waa brought here
when Governor Hughes waa the recent
guest of honor of the chamber of com
merce at It annual banquet. When
some of the member went to get a
drink they received their first notice of
the great advance In price; Very few of
the negroes visit this city and Uttle
trading ia being done here by them.
The merchants In the village of Beck
ett's Harbor declare that no regiment
waa ever stationed there that spent more
money, nor wa there ever a more or
derly outfit In the post than tha negro
regiment. Not the slightest disturbanoe
haa been made here by any of the sol
diers, and not one haa been arrested for
intoxocation, while a number were al
ways arrested when former regiment
were here Immediately after payday.

well known for their religious work, are
vitally interested in the anti-suicide
movement. Mis Jackman expressed her
willingness to Interest herself to any
extent to further the cause.
Others who have expressed a willing
