THE HEALTH OF CITIES.

An Omaha paper publishes table
comprising what are alleged TO be most
OF the large cities of Europe and Amer
lea, showing the death rate in 1889. 1t
includes st. Paul and Omaha, but has
no Minneapolis or Kansas City, show
ing that there are some notable omis-
sions. That it is unreliable is also
shown in the fact that Omaha is given a
better health rate than st. Paul, and, in
fact, the lowest of any city of its size in
the world. Omaha is put at 10 per
LOCO, and st. Paul 1870. An exchange
of figures would come nearer the actual
fact. Omaha rs sprightly town, but
not noted for unusual healthfulneSs. 1t
has not the favorable typographical COLI
ditionS Or pure water of ST. Paul. 1t
may compare favorably in healthful-
ness with other cities, but St. Paul
has always stood at the head of
the list of cities in its SAM
tary features. The death rate the past
month shows an average considerably
below the 10 per LOCO that Omaha i'm
properly claims. That place may be
second in the list. but not first. The
table affords basis for the conclusion
that climate and location have much
less to do with the healthfuueSs of
city than the local methods. For in
stance, the City of Mexico has an eleya-
ton and natural formations that should
afford the highest health rate, but it has
the highest death rate, that of 51.75.
This means that 80 out of 1000 die there
while 10 do in ST. Paul. The difference
is due to the better comprehension and
enforcement of health-promoting con-
ditions in the one than the other. st.
Petersburg is next to the Mexican CAPT.
tai in death rate. Life is cheap there.
1t is notable that the cities of'the old
world are far behind those of the
United States in the preservation of
life. London is behind New York.
Even Berlin, which is one OF the most
| progressive and. best governed of the
European cities. has a higher death rate
! than New York or Boston; and those
famed Italian towns that are the dream
of poetry, and so much visited by the
health seekers, have death rates not
equaled by the least healthful of Ameri-

AN ENoRNgOUs DERT

The recent exhibit of the vastness of
the debt of France is something of
surprise To the general mind. although
probably known to the financiers of
that country. The figures given take
the incOmprehensible proportions of
$1,000, 600, 900 in round numbers. This
is about double the Indebtedness of this
country at the close of the war. The in
tertAi an the French debt averages 3.4S
,;cY cent. but as the bonds brought in
s., 1903. 900 less than their face, the
actual interest on the money received
makes the rate 4.62 per cent. The debt
is greater than that of any other coun-
try. and beyond any that has been re-
corded as carried and met by any peo-
pie. Ii those financial philosophers are

OLD LETTERS.

l brought out box of old letters.
That have lain away many year,
To burn them, and lose them forever,
As they did no good to me here.
They were written in life's glad young
morning,
When my soul was as white as the snow.
When deceit had not entered my spirit
And-but all this was long. long ago.
The first bunch see is the smallest.
But Calmly and pretty to see;
Oh. how could think l could burn them
My mothers few letters to mel
The next is a great pack, all colors.
And traced in girls careless hand;
My chum from the day when, together,
We first joined schools noisy band
And as we grew into young ladies',
An, who can conceive of our dreams,
But, alasi She's the mother of children.
And now sews small gussetsand seams
And calm, friendly letters are pleasant,
They bring back OLD mem'ries so fast
OF long summer days, doing nothing,
And of evenings too lonely to last
The writer of every gay letter
l plainly can see in my heart;
/ made mistake in thinking
II would be SO easy to part.
Aid so | re-tie them and Law them
Back in the old place again;
And smile, though with sadness, and think
That they are Old women and men.
The next is a pack neatly written;
As / see it my eyes fill with tears,
And regret eats my heart-oh, wonder
II from heaven He sees me and hearst
For q woman is tender and sorry
For the man who adored her in vain:
SO / carefully tie them together,
And put them away again.
But the last bunch OF all tells the story
Oh often i'll all the long years
l have sworn to DESTROY and forget them
And to their mem'ry to shea no more
tears.
They number much more than the others.
And the writing is handsome and bold:
Oh, nlany's the time have read them.
And manys the tale they have told.
For this was the love of my lifetime.
Though it's years since I've spoken his
name;
And we have not met since that evening
When we quarrelled. and he YVES to blame.

While he was the whole world to me:

Which my tears did not let me see.

But they seem of my old self part;
When my life was 50 I.ure in its freshness.
And the world had not entered my heart.

A SPECK OF WAR
Develops Between the Holders of
Rink Permits.

An interesting war is likely to develop
down along the river this winter, especially
at the point between jackson and Wacouta
streets. The, council at Its last meeting
granted permission to Louis Johnson to erect
skating rink on the ice between the streets
named, and NJ. johnson forthwith ordered
supply of material to the spot to
be used in the construction of
fences and warming rooms. This state
of affairs brought a gentleman named
Mcpherson to the mayors Office in double
quick time. Mr.. Mcpherson exhibited a per-
nit signed by his honor granting to him the
privilege regranted by the council. He
wanted to know whether the other parties
could legally take up his frozen CLAIM ana
erect their buildings thereon. The mayor de-
cided that possession in such case was nine
points of law, and that the man who got his
stakes driven first was the conquering hero.
The river is scarcely in condition as vet for
the erection of very extensive buildings, but
a few more days of this weather may develop
interesting results of the issuance OF double
headed permit.

DOWN ON HIS LUCK.
Ganyaw, Broke at Monte Carlo, Is
Anxious to Return.


The pangs of remorse and the promptings
of conscience have often in this age been
underestimate, but letter which was re-
celved this week from an eyil-doer exempli-
hes the workings of a mind Tacked by con-
flicting emotions. Napoleon Bonaparte Gan
yaw will be remembered as having forged
the name of j. Homer Pierce to satisfaction
OF mortgage given on some property by Gan
yaw and his wife. He borrowed S1,3O0 on
the property and skipped out from the North
west. and the police we're unable 10
locate him. Under date of Nov. Is,
he addressed letter from the
seductive precints of Monte Carlo
to MIR. Pierce. who resides in Boston. in
which he acknowledges his crime, and offers
to submit to any proceedings to bring him
back to answer for his crime. He suggests
that complaint be made before the author
tiles in this city, aud that Chief Clark com
municate with the chief of policein Paris for
arrangements to be made to bring him back
10 the scene of his exploits. By these means
he hopes TO be able TO reimburse Mr.. Pierce
as he feels that his presence in st. Paul will
enable some of the money to be recovered
Thorne, Pioneer Press building, agents for
Mr.. Pierce. The general impression among
all parties who know Ganyaw is that he is
without funds in Monte Carlo, ana in despair
has confessed, hoping to be brought back TO
ST. Paul, W here he could try and arrange mat
ters. Messrs. Clark & Thorne will not take
any steps 10 secure his return as they have
suffered no loss, but other parties may do so.

BEFORE GOING TO CHURCH.

1t does seem rather absurd to hear an
usher ask strangers who enter the church if
they would like a seat" People don't
usually have preference for standing dur
ing service and when they present them
selves within the gates it may reasonably
be assumed that they come to attend the
service and would have no objection to be
accommodated with seat.
t +
1t is very commendable in q choir to show
a progressive spirit and keep up the study of
new music as fast as it comes out But there
is such a thing as being a little too much
abreast of the times, as some of the
older churcn-goers are ready TO tes-
tify to their sorrow. A few old favorite
selections thrown in from time to time will
foster congregational singing and do mulh
to make the people friendly disposed towards
the choir. Congregational singing may not
be just what the choir want to encourage,
but a great many persons are peTverse
enough not to attend a church where they
cannot enjoy it at least TO partial extent

: 1t is the practice of many very nice people
to disturb the closing services in church
by struggling into their out-ot-door
wraps during the singing of the
last hymn. Such conduct is de-
cided nuisance, but all the same is only too
prevalent in st. Paul churches. Even the
ultra fashionables, who deem it the correct
sihng'' to cultivate languid diatoriness in
other matters, hurry on their coats and over
shoes as if their lives depended upon their
getting outside the building before the
echoes of the last amen have died away.

French people are remarkable for their
industry and frugality. and the fruits of
toll and economy are perhaps more gen.
orally ditfused than in any other coun-
try in the old world. They have more
than once shown the strength of the
nation by coming to the aid of the gov
ernment in financial crises. Their
patriotism and integrity have been ex-
hibted in their fidelity to the financial
honor of the country. They have never
thought of reputation. The national
credit has been kept so high that the
government can borrow all that il needs

become exceedingly irksOme as it grows,
with no corresponding development of
resources. Financial prophets foresee

A New Light Project.

The project for the removal of superhuous
electric. lights from various parts of the city.
notably some from the masts at Summit park,
Bridge square and the city parks and their
distribution over the Robert and Wabasna
street bridges, is meeting with considerable
favor from most of the aldermen. Mavor
Smith is of the opinion that the lights on the
masts could be used to much better advan-
tage than at present by the proposed change.

The light is concentrated on the immediate
