THE HIGHEST POINT.
Last Weeks Death Rate Exceeds
Anything Ever Before Known.
FRIGHTFUL RAVAGE OF THE GRIP.
Although the Epidemic Is Broken 1t Is Not
by Any Means Ended.
HEALTH BUREAUS STARTLING FIGURES

Although the grip epidemic is now at an
end, the highest death rate ever known in
Pittsburg was reached the week ending
April II. The total number of deaths in
the city was 244, which makes the rate
.05130. The annual death rate is usually
less than half that. Almost all of this re-
markable increase is laid at the door of the
grip, together with cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts and diptheria.
Yesterday the number of deaths reported
at 6 o'clock was %. Three'of these were
Eight others were from pneumonia caused
by grip. Although the epidemic is at an end so
far as new cases are concerned, there are still
large number of people down with the dis
sease. and a correspondinely high death rate
can be expected Tor at least another month.
Chief Clerk McKelvy, of the Bureau OF
Health, in speaking of the health OF the city,
yesterday said: "The enormous increase in
the death rate is alarming. Physicians claim
the grip is at an end, but something is killing
the people at remarkable rate OF course
the deaths reported here as caused by grip do
not represent a third of the deaths caused by
it. One of its victims has his system SO
weakened that he falls ready victim to almost
any disease. People who think they have re-
covered go out, catch another cold and have
relapse, which is almost sure to bring with it
some attendant disease. But few of the victims
of the grip have entirely recovered, and 1
believe a number of deaths will still
be reported from grip alone. do not wish to
appear as a croaker, but when the rate rises to
.05lS0 it is time to be alarmed. Every sanitary
Brecaution should be taken"
Simon Johnston. the Smithfieid street drug
gist, is still confined to his bed as of the
victims of the disease. Another victim is Com
mercial Agent W. NJ. Clark, of the Missouri
Pacific road. He arrived from Philadelphia
yesterday, and is now down with rheumatism
caused by la grippe.
Among the ones just released from the NAL
ady is James V. Long, the lately appointed
Consul to Florence. He has had a three-weeks'
siege of the disease. Father James A Co.'S
grove. Of st. James Church, West End, is now
convalescing.
