REGENT SAVING OF LIFE IN MICHIGAN.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. II, 1890.
To the Gazette.
'sIn carefully prepared paper, read before
the sanitary convention at vicksburg, the pro-
ceedings OF which are just published, DR..
Baker. secretary state board OF health, gave
official statistics and evidence which he sum
married as follows:
..The record of the great saving Of human life
and health in Michigan in recent years is one
to which, it seems to me. the ltate and local
boards of health in Michigan, can Justly point
with PRIDE II is a record of the saving OF over
wear saved from death by scarlet fever, and
nearly GOO lives per year saved from death BY
diptheria.-an aggregate OF hoo lives per year,
or three lives per day saved from these three
diseasesi This is q record which we ask to have
examined, and which we are willing to have
eompared with that Of the man who made two
blades OF grass grow where only one grew be-
fore. -
The records and process of reasoning
by which the above conclusions were
reached are too voluminous for insertion
here, but anyone desiring to see them
can do so by calling on the undersigned.
The tabulated record extends from 1869
TO 1884. These reports show the relative
prevalence of sickness from each impor-
tant disease In each month and each
year, and from such disease compared
with other diseases. They thus show the
relative danger from each disease COM
pared with other diseases and compared
with the same disease IN other years, or
10 other months IN the same year. These
statistics are based on the actual obser-

THE FIRST FAMILY BOILERS.

THE FIRST FAMILY Boil TIERS.
The South Carolina improglio is exoit-
ing considerable comment in the news
papers throughout the entire country.
The revolt of the First Families is looked
upon as mean and contemplate piece
of business and wholly inexcusable.
The situation is slightly different from
that pictured in THE GAZETTE few days
ago, but in 10 sense better. The con-
vention held ON the 18th was called for
the purpose of deciding the manner of
choosing delegates to another convention
to be held September 10. The manner
heretofore has been by county conyen-
tions, but the F. +. Is experimenting de-

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.

Interesting Reading.


Interesting Reading.
To the Chamber of Commerce of the City Of
Fort Worth:
ga tale of two cities is old, but it is
applicable to the following history Of
Kansas City and Fort Worth city may
profit thereby.
Kansas City doomed some years ago,
as we all know. She had ell the natural
advantages to be wished for and Eastern
capitalists were not slow to perceive the
chance of making profitable investments
and they invested; they and their Kan
sas City agents bought lots and sold
them, built houses aud sold them; got
up additions, parks, heights, etc., and
sold lots there aud built houses there,
and as long as the mechanics necessary
to build these houses were employed and
had money to pay rent with houses were
in demand, but the real estate agents,
boomers, the capitalists, the
banks. the board Of trade. neglected to
provide the people that would perm a.
nentiy stay in the city and occupy
those houses; that Is, neg
lected to get manufacturers and
their mechanics and other employees;
producers of wealth and consumers of
everything necessary TO life. The ma
tnral consequence, as many mschan-
les foretold it, was that Kansas City for
the last two years has been and for sew
eral years will be-to use o bomely
phrase-in the consomme, alias soup.
1t is true that newspapers invited one
and all manufacturers to come and To-
cate in the young giant OF the West and
some, quite number in fact, did so,
but the Kansas City people were too
shortsightsd to see the necessity Of en-
