TO IMPROyE sTATIsTICs.

Honest figures can be made to lie.
Mr.. PORTER, the English gentleman
who has situation at Washington, af
fords evidence of this. He is not, how
ever, the only party who makes figures
do deceptive and misleading service.
The vital statistics collected by author
tiles in cities and localities in the United
States are seldom complete and ade-
quate. This has been conSpicuously
shown in New York recently. The law
is as imperative as in other sections in
regard to reporting deaths and births,
but it has come to light recently that
the reports of births have been so incOm-
plete as to furnish a solution of the I'M
favorable impression that the deaths ex
coed the births. There has been an
average of about 700 births to 500 deaths
published. The board of health re-
solved to enforce the law vigorously on
physicians and midwives, and the result
is to almost double the number of
births. They reached l,2SS last week.
1t is expected that reasonable margin
can now he kept up between the OPP
posing figures. To the same extent, 1t
is probable that the same carelessness
prevails in other cities, affecting the
sanitary reputation and imDairing the
value of this line of statistics.

facilities for distillation and trans

the probable reasons. They are mer-

dicatiOns are that they may rival any of
the English speaking countries in alco-

and public men are becoming concerned
over the matter. Temperance move

POINTS PUGILISTIC.
Pertinent Gossip Regarding the
Hall-Fitzsimmons Fight.

Pertinent Gossip Regarding the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Fight.
Fitzsimmons was seen at his training quar-
tiers yesterday. He is hard as cast steel, as
active as cat, strikes blow like battering
ram and can run ten miles without drawing
a long breath. Besides all this he has
world of confidence in his ability to win the
fight. 1t will not be for lack of condition if
he doesn't.
The specials from Beloit tell similar story
about Hall. Hall is reputed as a hard worker
in training, and some pretty good judges of
condition who saw him work Sunday say that
he is fit to fight for his life.
Jim McHale, the sergeant-at-arms of the
Chicago city council, wired from that city
last night that he wanted two boxes and five
reserved seats for the great contest between
Hall and Fitzsimmons next ednesday night
Frank Ireland, of the Ireland stable, tele
graphed last night to save box for him.
He will arrive tomorrow with a party of
hOrSemen from Chicago.
The boxes are going off at an extraordinary
rate. kilograms are being received calling
for seats from sporting men all over the
United States who will be here to the fight.
At the present rate of sale there won't be
reserved seat obtainable Saturday.
George North, formerly connected with
the Pioneer Press in st. Paul for many years,
came down TO see the big CO. and IS taking
care of the ticket sale at the RYAN.
The large building in which the contest
will occur is almost completed. 1t is circu-
lar in design, with the stage in the center
The space nearest the stage has been re-
served for new spaper representatives: next
come the boxes and reserved seats. The
beauty of the plan is that the most remote
seat in the place affords good view of the
stage.
A Chicago sporting man, a known crony OF
Parson Davies, wired to a man in st. Paul
yesterday:
Don't put a cent on this fight until you
see me.''
Maybe the Chicagoan thinks he knows
something. And then again he may be a
thousand miles from picking the winner
Halls friends say he is going TO win honors
and money next week. They talk confidently
of the result, and are already counting their
winnings.
What dump there is going to be, we'll
known sport yesterday. He probably meant
that the Hall people were on false lead:
The building will seat $500 people, and the
outlook is for a full house.

GETTING BETTER.

Ii is not surprising that the papers
allude at times, not as infrequent as the
Carolina bibulOuS period, to the condi-
ton of Mr.. BLAINE's health. His posi-
ton and record, including that not
made, warrant general interest, and the
variant, oraeular and mysterious utter
ances of those who are supposed to have
inside tips, as it were, naturally induce
distrust of all opinions put out. The
president is presumed to have special
and reliable information, but when he
is asked for his opinion, he frets his
gentle spirit into foam and does the
clam act. Does it aggravate him that
the secretary Is getting well? But it af-
fords some lifting of the cloud that OPP
presses to have the simultaneous testi
mony. possibly without collision. of both
Mr.. BLAINE and the leading one of the
six physicians that he is free from all
serious disease and JOn the way to his
WOnted physical estate. The statement
credited to Mr.. BLAINE is of the smaller
value, as men whose vital forces are
near a collapse are quite apt to have
periods that seem to them rising to the
vigOr of bounding health. He has, no
doubt, hopeful and esponding moods.
The averment of the physician that Mr..
BLAINE has not Bright's disease, or any
organic trouble. should be accepted with
more confidence than if put in the form
of bulletin and signed by the full corps
of indicators. 1t has been learned in
other notable cases that such bulle-
tins, whatever their claim, precede a
fatal result. 1t is admitted that Mr..
BLAINE has been very sick man. and
is liable to attacks of nervous prostra-
ton when he regains his health. BE is
not likely to be strong enough for the
excitement of a political campaign in
which he is personally interested.

Chief Jackson came in sight roar of
applause went up which made the
chief blush. A similar reception was
given Assistant Chiefs Martin, Cook
and Livergood. In passing the Wind
sor, Metropolitan, Merchants and RYAN
hotels salvos of applause greeted the
firemen and their flower bedecked APP
paratuS.
At the Hotel Ryan the carriages con-
tanning the mayor and fire commission
erS drew up, as did Chief Jackson, in
order that the apparatus and men might
be inspected.
With bells changing the engines and
trucks were driven by, the men raising
their hands in military salute. After
passing the Ryan the parade continued
to headquarters and disbanded.
just one hour was consumed in the
parade, and twenty-nine minutes after
every piece of apparatus had reached
its destination. and was ready for duty.
During the parade Supt. Jenkins, of
the tire alarm department., was ready at
headquarters with his buggy. in the
event of an alarm of fire, to drive after
the procession and call out the required
apparatus.
An opportunity exists for the citizens
of st. Paul to show their appreciation
of the gallant fire-fghters who last

Nothing Like It Has Been

Declared to Be Unequalled by

The parade last evening Of the fire
and police departments was voted by
the many thousands who witnessed it
to be the most successful of its kind
ever seen in the city of st. Paul. The
delegates to the convention and their
ladies, in whose honor the parade was
given, were loud in their expressions of
appreciation of the magnificent show
ing made by the guardians of pub
lie property and life. st. Paul has
witnessed many parades of the fire de-
partment, and the one which took place
last year during the fair week was at
that time accorded to be the finest pos
slble to be seen. but the gallant men
under the command of Chief Jackson
determined that the parade of last even
ing should eclipse anything of the kind
ever given. On Tuesday afternoon
Chief jackson notified the men of his
department of the parade ordered, and

platoon led by a sergeant. Lieut.. Nor
gan was in charge of the 100 patrol
men, and their salwart appearance
and neat dress uniforms, white
gloves and red-tasseled clubs, won
loud plaudits from the spectators.
The four police patrol wagons, from
Central, Margaret, Rondo and Ducas
divisions, came next. Flags and rib
bons were used in decorating the wag-
Ons, and the appearance was very fine.
The main feature of the parade, how
ever, was the magnificent appearance
of the fire apparatus. horses and men.
Leading the department in its march
of triumph were Mayor Smith and the
fire commissioners in carriages. In the
first carriage rode the mayor and Presi-
dent Reuben Warner, of the fire depart
ment, in the second carriage were Com
missioners PrendergaSt, MitSch, Mar
TIN and Freeman. Each gentleman wore
a bouquet of roses, the gift of the fire
departm Then came the long line
of apparatus. Chief Jackson,
In Full Uniform.
drove his buggy ahead of his gallant
men. The three assistant chiefs followed
in buggieS. driving abreast: the secre-
tary of the fire commissioners, Mr..
German, riding with Assistant Chief
Cook. In four divisions came the gal
liant fire fighters, with their apparatus.
Every man was in full dress uniform
with white gloves, bouquets of roses
being worn on their coats. Their horses
and apparatus were also bedecked
with masses of flowers and bunt-
ing. Noddlng plumes of various
colors were fastened upon the har-
ness of the horses, who proudly
arched their neckS as if conscious OF the
distinguished visitors inspecting their
appearance. The FURNISHED metal of
the engines shown like molten gold and
formed striking contrast to the masses
of flowers and bunting. Ladders on
the huge trucks were entwined with
bright colored ribbons, while the
engines were veritable bowers
of floral decorations. Bunches
of roses and evergreens, smilaX, lilies
and the various varities OF flowers
found in the Northwest were used in
the decoration. The numbers of the
engine companies appeared in beautiful
floral designs, tunnels of engines were
entwined with roses and smilaX, and
even the wheels and hubs of the appar-
atus were hidden beneath festoOned
flowers.
a more beautiful display could not
be witnessed in any part of the world,
and as regards the appearance of the
apparatus and the stalwart firemen it
could not be eclipsed. The work of
decorating the engines was the indi-
yidual effort of each company, and
pleasant rivalry resulted in a most ar
tistic effect. As to the parade, it was
Veritable Triumph.
Everywhere on the line of route the
sidewalks were thronged, while the
windows, and even roofs, of houses
were used as positions for seeing tie
display.
Mayor Smith and Chief Clark. of the
police department, were warmly wei
coined everywhere, but Chief Jackson
and his men received perfect ovatIons.

delegates ware assembled, and when
