The Pacific Medical and Surgical Journal does
not believe that the sewers of San Francisco have
much if anything to do with the general health
there Parts of the city where the drainage is good
often exhibited the past fall the highest death rate
1t attributes the increased death rate to the fact
that the population in early years was composed
mostly Of middle-aged and young persons, and that
now the mortality exhibit shows larger proportion
of aged deoedents; that San Francisco is now
more largely the focus to which invalids from other
parts come to die, and that fifth of the deaths

EMPEROR WILLIAMS DIARY.-The Ger
man Emperor's diary must certainly be one
of the great historical treasures of the age.
For nearly fifty years Emperor William
has carefully noted down with his own
hand the chief events of each day, such as
interviews, conversations, decisions, polit-
ical intelligence, and domestic occurrences.
Every morning fresh sheet of folio size is
laid upon the Emperor's desk, headed with
the date and sacred text, and the diary
already forms several volumes, which are
to pass into the Crown Princes hands.
The diary is illustrated By loose sheets
bearing water.color pictures Of the chief
occurrences of the Emperor's life. Exc
cnted by renowned German artists. these
sketches are drawn from rough outlines
furnished from memory by the Emperor,
who also corrects tie artists drawings pre-
vious to their completion.

vessel was lowed out from the old
Maid of the Mist landing on the Can
ada side, mile and quarter above

start appeared slow and before she
found the current, a collision with
rock on the American shore occurred.
BY this she lost two boards from the
hull above the water line. She was
pushed out to the centerof the stream,
and after momentary difficulty in
heading the right way a good start
was made. She gracefully careened ov

then with frightful velocity sped on,

she was literally hurled across the

experiment was looked upon as q sue

here on the verdict in the Frank
James trial this morning is somewhat
varied, while all concur that il is a
misfortune that the train robber was
acquitted. Many asserted that, ac-
cording to the evidence and instruc-
tons of the court, it was
impossible for the jury to
have acted otherwise; others again
are outspoken in their convictions
that it win be impossible to convict
Frank James of the western Mis-
souri, no matter what the evidence
might be.
