The Philadelphia Press, generally sound
to the core on all public questions, say
Iii the present administration had two or
three months longer to live the President
might add considerably to its reputation
and dignity by transferring William Cole
Whitney to the head Of H. State De-
partment and promoting Thomas F. Ray
ard to a seat in the cool shades OF private
life. The end is so near, however, that
the old thing might rs well be permitted
to die Just where it lies.
But il is well for our Republican con-
temporary to remember it was Whitney
who aided in the. wicked persecution of
John Roach, forcing him into financial
ruin, breaking his great heart, and de-
priviDg the country Of his service and his
shipyard at the time they were needed for
the building Of a navy, adequate to our
national prestige and security in the pres
ent emergency. Just as the present Ad-
ministration is terminating its existence,
it may suit the future political aspirations
OF Mr. Whitney to show spasms of real
Americanism.

HEALTH OF THE STATE,
Monthly Report of the State Boar
 nE

Monthly Report of the State Board
 or Health.
 According to the monthly report of the state board of health there were S96 deaths in Connecticut in the month of november, 131 less than in October, 46 more than in November, number of deaths in November for the four years preceding the present
 The report further says: No severe the month. Diphtheria has, however, disease, exceeding in it's lethal results all other causes except pulmonary con- sumption. Its victims numbered T7 in November, against 71 in the previous month.
 Typhoid fever caused 26 deaths, against 37 in October: acute diseases of the lungs S6, against 9S in October; consumption 121, against 14S in October, and diseases of the heart 64, against ST in October.
 The total mortality for the month was less than in any month since January. The percentage of zymotic diseases was less, and the general health of the state has been somewhat better than the average.
 There is no doubt, however, that ; large percentage of the deaths from diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever and the other preventable diseases have occurred from the inetficiency of health boards, and the general neglect of those | precautions which are now SO wei known as competent to control an( limit the spread of these infectious maladies.

Aprther. Victim of McGinty.

Jemes P. Platt of Meriden, son of Senator Platt, is McGinty's latest victim. Mir Platt for months has wanted good Spitz dog. Yesterday he received a despatch from friend that the right kind of a dog had been found. He at once started for New Haven, and taking a carriage drove to an address that had been given him. The house was on Oak street, and a buxom Irish woman presented herself, broom in hand, at the door. Mir Platt asked to see the dog. The woman wanted to know what dog he meant and added that there had never been dog in the house and never would be while she lived in it. Mir Platt drew his dis patch from his pocket and asked II MT McGinty did not live there.
 "No sir,'' was the reply, "me hus- bands name is White. He don't keep dogs. and if yez are around to stea anything yez had betther get out for ninst the ould man gets back"
 Mir Platt jumped into his carriage and took the first train for Meriden. Hh friends don't mention McGinty to hin l now.

 Both pugilists were dressed in pink tights and white vests, with the Ameri- can colors round their waists though | Sullivan's had tho words Champion of | the World embroidered on his They sparred three lively rounds, in which the big fellow had all the best of it, and thongh he had several openings, he refrained from putting In any body | blows.

 Pat Farrell has withdrawn the S2oO that he had posted at the Illustrated News for a match with Arthur Upham, and will leave for California about Jan 1, where he will probably be able to get on match with young Mitchell. Farrelrs packer has telegraphed to President Fulda of the California Attn letic club that he would fight Mitchell for purse and an outside bet of $500 a side. There will probably be no match made between Farrell and Upham, as the latter has delayed so long that the Farrell people think that he doesn't want to fight.

A Large showing TOT a StdGe oI US

 At this time, the state of Connecti- cut has, outside of monthly and semi monthly publications, of which there are thirty or more, the large number of IA daily, weekly, and Sunday newspa- pers-34 dailies, 1O4 weeklies and Sun day papers. New Haven county leads with 13 daily, 31 weekly and Sunday papers. According to their politics or special objects the papers are thus classi- fled: Democratic g, republican 34, in dependent 76, religious 5, labor 5, prohi- bition 1, agricultural 1.
 Of the daily press one paper has sus- pended publication during the year, the Danbury Press, and one has been estab- lished, the Torrington Register. There are ten morning and twenty-four even ing dailies. This proves, better than stronger hold upon the reading public. Evening papers are printed in every county which has dailles, while morning papers are printed in only four counties, Hartford, Now Haven, Fairfield and New London. Windham and Holland counties have no dailies, but are well supplied from Hartford and Norwich.
 Among the weeklies there have been six suspensions during the year. the Sun at Bridgeport, Press at Danbury Herald Qiquor organ) at Hartford Comet at Stamford, Review at Nauga tuck and Republican at South Norwalk New papers have been established al Greenwich, Lyme, Mantle.

Unfortunate Use of Pigments for

 A girl down in Bridgeport will have occasion to remember that passage Tn Proverbs which says: "Pride goeth be- nette with handsome head of black hair. She was not satisfied, so she bought an alleged hair bleacher in emulation of the great Patti, to bleach her hair an auburn. The first applica tion turned it purple. The second made it bright blue. If she had stopped here she might have coined money as the 'sBlue- Haired Belle of Bugleville. in Bowery museum. But she wasn' satisfied. She consulted a physician and he advised her to wash her hail with soap and water. She did so ant now her capillary adornment is snow white and each particular hair is a brittle as the reputation of Norwich man for truth.
