NATIONAL HEALTH.


 Sir James Paget, one of the most distin- guished English physicians, delivered a very interesting address on the subject of nation al health at the health exhibition recently opened in London. Other things being equal, he remarked, nation peopled by ac- tive, healthy men and women has an ines- timsble advantage in the struggle for exis- tence over a nation whose inhabitants are weak, sickly and short lived. If for no other reason, a government would on this account be fully justified in making liberal expenditures for the purpose of investigating into the causes of diseases and the moth ods best adapted for their prevention, and in adopting stringent laws for the purpose of enforcing approved sanitary regulations.
 In the course of his address Dr. Paget made comparison of the statistics of health among working people who belong to mutu- al benefit associations and the sta tistics of health in the army, the navy and the police force of Great Britain, and drew the conclusion that the health of these provident workinRmen and women was, on the whole, equal to that of any class in the nation. None the less, it was found that during each year these work ing men and women lost on an average nine days of time in consequence of sickness. Taking this as the average among the peopls of England and Wales, it would appear that in the whole population between the ages of 15 and 65, 20, GOO, 900 weeks of work were lost each year by the interference of sickne ess- that is to say as much was lost to the nation n had ln5 labor for 8 week, not as means of recruiting themselves for more vigorous effort later op, but because i'll health brought about e forced suspension of energy. Taking the value of g weeks service at 80 low 8 range as $8. the loss produced would in England be equiva- lent to $16O, COG, ,000 per apn1m. But, as the speaker pointed out, this is only part of the loss. The sickness among those under if teen years of age was left entirely out of the reckoning, and yet, as matter of fact, ill., ness among those of tender years was much more frequent than among those of more mature age, and, although it did not directly interfere with the industrial work of the na- tion, it did indirectly, by the care it imposed upon parents and relatives, not to speak of the added expense to which these latter were subjected.
 Sir James thought that by proper care at least fourth of this great loss could be saved Much of the sickness which takes place is undoubtedly of preventable char acter, and it Is now generally recognized that the money which it costs to keep . good board of health at work is we'll spent. Of course if sickness is prevented the sum of human happiness is increased, and people can accomplish more and better work in given time.

The dead body of an infant which had evil dently been born alive was found in field at East New London on Monday wrapped in skirt which bore 8 weman's name in full. Other portions of a woman's dress were found near by. The coroner's verdict was that ''the child was born alive, and came to it's death by neglect or by being srnotherd soon after birth, either feloniously or accidentally.

was enlarged TO include a portion of a
delegation from California. AS the
visit Was purely social and wholly
nonpolitical, a sense of propriety de-
manded that the delegation should re-
frain from rushing into print, but the
objects OF the visit having been mis-
interpreted and widely misrepre-
scented, L feel it is but simply just to
disclose all that took place. Governor
T1Iden received the party with great
cordlallty, and the interview lasted
nearly an hour. While it is true that
one Of his arms is affected, his general
health is remarkably good, not to say
robust. He threw back the heavy
folding doors in the presence of his
visitors, and moved about with as
much &C ivity as man of forty. His
mind IS as strong as ever before in his
life. AS to his ability to stand the IA
tIgue and excitement of the campaign,
L think his chances equally as good It's
those of any other man of equal age.
The only reference made to politics
was when member Of the delegation,
Tilden, said: Governor.
we are all your friends; we are
all Tilden men, as are all
democrats on the Pacific coast. In re-
ply, the governor said: 81 am not "a
Tilden man," which was construed by |
some of the visitors as a declaration
that he would not be a candidate for |

MIR. T. L. WREN'S ARREST.
Sheriff Hornsby arrested Mr.. T. l.,
Wren at his office this morning, upon
a warrant from Justice Won RoSen-
bergS court, based upon a complaint
sworn out by Mr.. Aft. r.. Burlagr,
brother-in law of the deceased, charg-
ing Wren with murder. Mr.. Wren
waived examination, and gave bond
in the sum $1,000, to appear beforr
Justice Won Rosenberg to answer tn,
charge. His bondsmen are: John w.
Maddox, F. M. Maddox, A. j. Jerni-
gan, j. j. Tobin and Joseph Male.
While the friends of Mr.. Wren claim
that he acted in selt-defense, he is
suffering considerable mental torture
from the fatal termination of his diff
ficulty with Mr.. Edwards. There is
no doubt expressed, but that Major
Edwards would have had little to fear
from his wounds had he acted more
during the healing process,
and his death, under all the circum-
can hardly add to Mr.. Wren's
in the matter.
MAJOR EDWARDS
was brave, chivalrous and courageous,
and was generous to a fault; and
through these noble traits had endear-
ed himself to many. A host of
friends throughout the state mourn
his untimely end.
