Obituary
HENRY JOHN wfuTEuousE.

A dispatch from Chicago announces the
death, at his residence in that city. Monday
morning, after an illness of a few dave
duration, of the Right Rev. Henry !
Whitehouse, Episcopal Bishop of Illinois.
The venerable prelate, who was seventy
two years old at the time of his death. was
attacked with fainting fits on Wednesday
last. His illness continued with VARYING
aspects, which, on Saturday morning
seemed to promise the recovery from the
attack. But on Sunday his condition be-
came alarming, ana Monday morning at
o'clock he died. For some months past he
mad taken upon himself burden too great
for his years that of fulfilling in a measure.
during the interregnum growing out of the
recent delaying an Episcopal Bishop in
Wisconsin, the duties of the vacant
bishopric of that diocese The task weak
ened his constitution, which for twenty
years previously had resisted all approaches
of disease, and his death was the result.
His body will be brought to New York
and buried in the family lot in Greenwood
cemetery.
Bishop Whitehouse was a native of New
York. He was born in August, 1902. and
educated at Columbia college He rradu-
ated from this institution in 1921, and from
the General Theological seminary in 1924.
In the latter year he was ordained
a deacon, and in 1927 he became n
priest. After having had charge of n
parish in Reading, Pennsylvania for three
years he assumed the duties of rector
OF st. Lukes church, Rochester. This
rect r'hip he retained for fifteen years. In
1874 he came to New York to take CHARGE
as rector, of st. Thomas church He con.
tlnued in that capacity until 1851, and on
the 10th of November Of that year he was
consecraod as assistant bishop of Illinois
In 1852 occurred the death of Bishop Chase
and Bishop Whitehouse was elected to sue
coed him as bishop of the diocese of Hi
nols. Bishop Whitehouse visited England
in 1867 on the occasion of the Pan-Angli-
can Council, held in Lambeth Palace. Lon
don, in that year. He was invited by the
Archbishop of Canterbury to preach the
opening sermon before the council and he
did so. Among the recognitions of his
piety, learning, and cloquence conferred
upon were the degrees of D. d., by Col
umbia college in 1865, LII D., by Cam.
bridge University, IN England, during his
visit to that country, and honorary d. d.
by Oxford at the same time.
few years ago Bishop Whitehouse be-
came engaged in the celebrated eccesiastic-
al controversy with Rev. Mr.. Cheney and
others of the Reformed Episcopal Church
movement in Chicago Tedious and ex-
pensive litigation in the law courts follow
ed. Bishop Whitehousc was successful in
the end and Mr. Cheney was deposed from
the ministry, a result which was followed
by his withdrawal from the orthodox Epis-
copal church.

Nilsson Decreasing IN Popular Favor

Nilsson Decreasing IN Popular Favor
1t is the opinion of many that Nine
Nilsson is rapidly singing herself out of
the rank Of great artists. In "Trovatore,'
at Drury Lane, the other night. she sang
out of time and out of tune, and interpo-
lated variations of her own which made
Sir Michael Costas hair stand on end Her
whole conception of Lenora was a new
one-but it was not true one. The
AMenRum, in discussing the Just closed
season at Drury Lane, couples her with
Campanini as artists who have disappointed
and says; 1t is not of their acting we
complain, for both have gained in hnesse
and dramatic power But, to begin with
the lady-her new style of singing cannot
be accepted in any other light than loss
of the signal charm she once possessed.
In portions of Marguerite, and of Lucia
and Edith, her former pure, simple and
touching method was showed but while
striving for passionate impulse and dramatic
earnestncss in the Leonora ('TrovatoreO
and in Valentino Che 'Huguenots), she in
dulged in such strain on her voice, that
she was no longer singing, but screaming
Her selection of these two characters
has been Il grieyous mistake. The
amateurs who have followed the career
of this gifted artist from her debut at
the Lyrique, in Paris, to the present period
are naturally distressed at finding their
faith in her abilities so terribly shaken
Every prima donna of note has q specially;
it has been given to no single artist, be her
powers what they may, to succeed in all
tragic operas hence it is that we have had
queens of song, who have eXcelled, either
in what is termed the light soprano parts,
or in the strong or heavy soprano charac-
tiers. A great Amina and Lucia failed in
Norma at time when her popularity was
at its zenith. Nine. Lind's example was a
lesson to artists not to let vaulting ambl-
ton overlap itself. Nine Patti was ill-ad-
yised when she choose Valentino, Elvira,
(Ernani and Leonora (Trovatore) for,
despite her fine acting, there is limit to
physical power. How could Nine Nilsson
for moment expect that she could achieve
n triumph where Nine Patti had failed !?
Signor Campanini, in abandoning the sua
yiter in monde for the fortiter in re, is
quite destroying the charm in his mezza
yoce. with which he so delighted his hear
ers at his early appearance. In straining
his voice so unnaturally and forclbly, he
mistakes the characters of both Faust and
Raoul We would add merely the remark
that it seems, then, possible to destroy the
voice in other music than Wagner's not
merely, also, in that of Verdi, whom Won
Bulow dubs "the Attila of the outlet"
but in Meyerbeers and even the polished
Gounods.

Mortality and Cold,

The sanitary statistics of London for the
week ending December furnish one of the
most startling illustrations on record of the
little understood relation between mortality
and cold. The week in question was one of
very low temperature, and the death rate
mounted up to correspondingly high figure
The popular impression has long existed that
the severe depreasions of temperature, except
to the ragged and ill-fed classes, were to be re-
garded as sanitary boons, giving tone and
solidity to the human frame; and 80, under
certain circumstances, they are found to work.
But, practically, as the most rigid analysis Of
the death rate statistics proves, cold snap is
scarcely less fatal for the time it lasts than an
irruption of cholera or smallpox.
The mortuary register for the week ending
December 5, in London, shows an amazing
excess for heart and lung diseases, ranging
from fifty to two hundred and twenty-four
above the average, falling most heavily on the
extreme ages, senile and infantile Such
result cannot be explained by supposing that
the shock of the winter fell upon homeless
and half-clothed victims, but must be regarded
as another striking proof of the deadliness Of
cold itself. - .asas>
That the great thsffnsl vicissitudes are
faithfully reflected in the schcess and NOR
tahty Of all geographical sections is >Secoming
clearer as the records Of disease are more
carefully compiled. Dr. ~Pfestel of Emden,
who for over thirty years lhas observed and
discussed meteorological phenomena, collating'
them recently with the sanitny statistics of
Friesland, maintains that from the nature of
the prevailing winds the relative salubrity of
q district can be- determined. Giving the
cause time to have its due effect, be concludes
that ventilation or agitation Of the atmos-
phere is as essential to The, health of q dis
trct as the renewal Of air in sick room,
and that Gains are as dangerous as any other
meteoric conditions No doubt the calms
that precede the rapid barometric rise with
its accompanying frigorifc temperatures, by
vitiating the air we breathe, weaken the
human system and prepare it for the invasive
force of the wintry blast The Philadelphia
registers for 1872 graphically show how the
curves indicating the course Of mortality from
most winter diseases rapidly rise with the
thermal decline and decline with the thermal
rise. The smallpox fatality, usually greatest
in March, then occurred in January whose
themometric mean was the lowest of any Of
the winter months. And the inference sug-
gested by these facts has been corroborated
by an Austrian medico-meteorologist OF Pesth,
who finds that the meteorological changes
reflect themselves in the amount and aggrava-
ton Of sickness.
The subject is one Of such vital importance
to oil classes, especially in our clmate-where
from proximity on the one hand to the
warm Gulf Stream and on the other to the
cold, semi-Arctic Canadas, the changes are
most sudden and severe-that it should more
engage popular as well as medical attention.
Prudent recognition OF the philosophy which
The New York herald., 1874-12-30

it teaches would enormously mitigate the
sufferings of the poorer classes and rightly
direct the skilled charities which are now
seeking to guard the public health. When the
Thermometer falls below thirty degrees the
shock on the system is quickly succeeded by
reaction, which makes heavy drain on the re-
serve vital energy, which must be rePlsnished
by increased consumption of solid food, or,
this fuel failing, the animal heat falls below
the health point. Then it is the famished and
Unprotected most feel the tooth of hunger and
need the most generous diet. But with the rise
of temperature the food supply should be pro-
portionately abridged and held in store for the
more trying season.
A little care Systematically bestowed upon
children, regulating their clothing and food
in accordance with the showing of these facts,
would immensely increase their comfort and
reduce the mortality which at this season pre-

Wickham finds cause for his immediate re-
moval Governor Tilden cannot interfere to
save him without violating fundamental
principle of the democratic creed. In the
recommendations which Governor Tilden will
make in his message for o revision
of the city charter there are only
two courses open to him SO fur as the
Finance Department Of the city is con-
carned One is TO restore the election of the
Comptroller to the people, as in former times,
which would be a virtual repudiation of the
charlatan Green and the other is to make the
elected Mayor entirely responsible for the
success of the municipal government by con-
ferring on him the absolute power of appoint
ing and removing all city officers according
to his sense of the public interest. Either of
these methods would be fatal to Green.
very elaborate argument of Mr.. Tilden, pub
hshed three or four years ago, puts him on
record MS q strenuous advocate OF SO amending
the frame of our city government that the
people would be able in every election (and,
if our memory be not at fault he favored an
nual city eectons) to change the whole per-
Somael of the city government 1t was on this
ground that he opposed that feature Of the
Tweed charter which gave such long tenures
to the heads of departments and made it i'm
possible for the people to change the entire
body of their rulers in any one election.
These published views, which Mr. Tilden can
not now repudiate, thoroughly commit him,
in point of consistency, to sanction the re-
moval of Comptroller Green when it is made
by Mayor Wickham, and it is impossible that
a man Of his high sense Of character and con-
sistency can stultity himself by contrary

Religion and Ed stlen.

A peculiar phase of the discussion now rag.
ing in England between the Catholics and tho
Protestants is shown in recent correspond
son of an English gentleman was a student
at Oxford. Just before examination he left
the English Church and entered the comnu-
Mon OF Rome Upon doing this he sought
counsel from Archbishop Manning as to his
future course and was instructed by the
Archbishop that it was his duty to leave the
university, ''the Holy See having expressly
condemned the English universities as danger
Gus to faith and monls" The father Of the
young man, surprised at this advice, and
naturally anxious that his son should COM
plete his course at Oxford, wrote to the Arch
bishop to know whether his son really under
stood the episcopal meaning. The Arch
bishops secretary sent the father copy Of
the pastoral letter of the bishops, containing
the directions of the Holy See as to the English
universities, showing that the young man had
rightly comprehended the meaning Of His
Grace. The secretary added few words Of
commiseration from the Archbishop on "tha
trial" which the father had to bear ''The
cause of it cannot be regarded by the Arch
bishop except as q benediction for the SOM,
nevertheless he cannot but feel sympathy for
those who feel otherwise" This direct
avowal on the part of the head Of the Catho-
lie Church in England that it will not permit
young men to study in the English universe
ties has produced deep impression and illus
trates the earnestness with which the religious
controversy is now being waged.
