Have the hours most fatal to life ever
been ascertained? was the question recent

Yes, to u certain extent, was his reply. |
have the data here of some very interest
ing conclusions ascertained in 1850 in
stances Of death at all ages. The exam
piles are taken from all conditions of life,
and during 4 period of several years. II
the deaths of these ESQ had occurred in
differently at any hour during the twenty
four, 100 would have occurred each hour,
but this was by no means the case.
There are two hours in which the pro
portion was remarkably below this-two
minima, as it were-namely. from mid
night to l o'clock, when the deaths were So
per cent. below the average, and from noon
to l o'clock, when they were 2OSt per cent
below. From 8 to 6 a m, inclusive, and
from to p. m, there is a gradual in
crease, in the former of 2314 per cent.
above the average, in the latter of 81 per
cent The maximum of death is from 5
o'clock to 6 o'clock a. M, when it is 40 per
cent. above the average; the next during
the hour before midnight, when it is %
per cent. in excess,
A third hour of excess is that from 9
O'Clock to 10 O'Clock in the morning, that
hour being ia per cent. above the aver
age From 10 a. IN. to 3 p. III. the deaths
are less numerous, being 1914 per cent. be-
low the average, the hour before noon
being the most fatal. From O'Clock p.
m. to 7 p, m. the death rate rises per cent
above the average, and then falls from that
hour until II p. m, when it averages 81
below the mean. During the hours from
9 to IL o'clock in the evening there is a
minimum of So below the average. Thus
it will be seen that the greatest mortality
is during the hours from to O'Clock in
the morning, the midday hours, from 10 to
3 o'clock, furnishing the least average
hourly death rate,-St. Louis Republic.

IN AMERICAN POPE

The profession Of the pope al Rome
that he does not take any interest il
the change Of the italian cabinet, ha,
brought the relations Of the churcf
and government into public attention
The church is unalterably opposed
TO any arrangement with the Italian
/ government short Of a substantial
concession of temporal power to the
pope.
At the present time there are
thirty-two Italian cardinals and
/ twenty-eight Of other nationaIitieS, ST
that the announcement that the pope
intends bestowing a number Of scarlet
hats, awakens not only interest bat
concern as well. The question is, will
the Italians control the Sacred College
or will u sufficient number Of foreign
ers be admitted to give the latter a
controlling influence in the next con
claye?
The unexpected is quite likely to be
looked for at the Vatican, for Leo
has shown himself equal to daring in
n0yati0ns.
The st. Joe Herald, whose editor
seems well verSed in these matters,
SAYS
There is now, as ever, q discomfort in
the Catholic church over the dominance
a "a siupl d no "a "a nf n
ligions organization. Formerly the Pom
tiff himself was always allied with the
Italian side, but times are changed. Italy
is no longer the most Catholic country la
the world, but Professionalism and even
skeDticism have crept close to the Vatican
itself. Further, there is conflict be-
tween the king aud pope; il will be recol-
lccted that Plus X proclaimed himself a
prisoner and was so regarded by the faith
tul throughout the civilized world. and
Leo MIL" while relaxing considerable
from the rigidity Of his predecessor. still
maintains an attitude Of stern protest
toward the alleged uSurpatiOn and arbi-
tFaFy control exercised by the temporal
power. These strained relations were
brought almost to crisis by the daring
act OF King Humbert and Premier Crisp
In SanctiOning the erection of a statue in
honor Of GiOrdauo Bruno near where he
was burned for here-y in the seventeenth
century.
In face Of all these facts there has
been growing belief that the next
pope will not be an Italian. OF
course the present PontiG cannot de-
eide that, but as the college of cardi.
nails does, the next appointments will
clearly show the bent Of his mind.
The papacy Of today has no more
ardent supporters than in America,
and there are those who predict that
it is not at all unlikely that the next
pope will be James Gibbons, Of Balti-
more Cardinal Gibbons is a broad
thinking, intellectual man of the most
advanced views. 10 is he it will be
recollected, who oyerruled Cardinal
Tascheran's decree against the Amcri-
can Knights Of Labor.

THAT ALTA" EDITORIAL

And now comes the Port Townsend
Leader copying the Alta California
editorial-Or part of it--headed "The
North Pacific Metropolis" and where
the Alta says, with regard to the com
ing city, "Wnl it be Tacoma, Seattle,
Fairhayen, or some point as yet con
sidered unlmportant?" the Leader
inserts the words, Port Townsend, -
when the truth is that PortTOwnsend
was not mentioned in the article. 1t
is barely possible, however, that the
writer may have had Port Townsend
i'm his minds eye when he spoke of
"some point as yet considered unim-
portant." On this ground alone had
the Leader any right to take any por-
ton OF that editorial TO the place
where 1t Is printed.
Notwithstanding that Port Town.
send IS one OF the Oldest settlements
In Washington and that for many
years it had the advantage Of being
the port of entry, Fairhaven grew in
one year to have greater population
than Port Townsend, and has more
building and public improvements
under construction today than Port
Townsend has had since it started
Yet with all this, the Leader care
fuiiy eliminates from the Al TIA editor

why on earth do you read such books"
said a sensible man few evenings ago to
a woman Of highly sensitive and suffering
organization, who had just been through
the thousand pages Of Staniey's I'm Dark
est Africa" ''Sucb books are simple poi
son to you. You ought never to read line
of them" "Whatr she answered, "do
you think should be justified ia keeping
ignorant of the misery and degradation of
millions Of my fellow creaturesi"
"Yes,n was his answer, 'the more igno-
rant Of such things persons like you keep
themselves, the surer their chance of being
sunny and helpful influences in the world
The record OF these horrors simply para
lyzes you. 1t works on your sympathetic
Imagination till the whole head is sick or
the whole heart is faint At night you lie
down, and in the morning you get up in
darkest Africa yourself. Had you spent
your time in reading something beautiful
and cheering you would have been health
Ter and happier aud o hundred times more
use to your husband, to your children and
to society"
In the especial case in hand the man was
right, and the case stands for thousands Of
like ones. Overweight sensibility to the
suffering side Of life, and the gloomy spell
this exerts over the imagination, is an act
ual disease of the day. Numberless are the
people whose constant aim in life ought to
be to get away from the contemplation of
distressing objects, and who should take as
much pains a. the florist with his roses to
expand the broadcast possible expanse of
clear glass to the rays of the sun. With
out sunshine, and plenty of it, they can
never thrive. just rs some plants can
flourish under the densest shade, while
others mildew beneath it, so it is with
different human organizations. - Boston

DENY THE ALLEGATION

Papers throughout the state have re
joiced at the crusade of the Press Times
against the evils Of Seattle, but there has
been, 1t is sad TO say, a thiniy- veiied pleas
ufe in picturing the disease as good deal
worse than it really was. This paper
notes that prize fights "for points" are
advertised in the thrifty towns of Spokane
and Fairhaven, ana that the brutal sport
has not been stopped by the police. The
Press Times, while greatly appreciating
the sympathy of these contemporary
papers, mOdestly suggests that they turn
their batteries on the evils very much
nearer home. Clean up your own yard

While we sympathize with our con
temporary, we cannot allow such in
situations to pass unnoticed. No adj
yertised prize fights have been known
in our city. Fairhaven, in the yer
nacular of a sporting man, is a mice
clean place" Seattle is unquestion-
ably tough place, but time and per
severance will bring it around all
right.

WOMEN IN Politics

Elizabeth Cody Stanton says the hu-
man race has been in existence $1,000
years, and that in early times, before
the downfall of purity of the human
race. women were the rulers. She
says:
The period of wOman's supremacy lasted
through many centuries 1t was MAINLY
traceable among the AyFans, the Ger
mans, the Pcrsians and indications of it
are still seen among uncivilizcd tribes
aud nations. .Straho SAYS Of the PRINT

lural work, and were as hardy as men
The women at later period were not
only the rulers Of the home, but they were
prlestesSes; the deties were in a great
part g9deSses."
She goes on to show how, within his
toric times, the enslavement of women
has progressed, and says:
Driven from the commanding position
OF home mother, and deprived VI rights to
property and children, the last fortress Of
