Detroit Has a Great Death Rate.

Secretary Baker, of the state board
of health, has issued a bulletin, pre-
sumably in the interest of the isolation
hospital in the city of Detroit 1t says
that in 1890 deaths from diphtheria
and scarlet fever in this state were 20
per each 1000 inhabitants, while in
Detroit there were 90, the ratio of
deaths to cases being greater than in
the entire state. 1t claims that the
deaths in Detroit from these causes in
1892 was money loss of over $500, 900,
and the statistics show them to be
clearly preventable by proper isolation
and disinfection. 1t says this cannot
be maintained in Detroit except with a
well equipped and well managed isola-
ton hospital, and if the city does not
move in the matter the state should, as
a matter of protection, provide for it,
as it is dangerous center of infection
for the entire state.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

New YORK, May 29.-R. G. Dunn g. Co.'S
weekly review of trade: In two ways there
has been quite general Improvement during
the past week. Better weather throughout
most of the country has stimulated retail
trade, and the large amount OF goods has made
jobbing trade more active. Monetary ankle
ties have curiously abated at many widely
separated points. Large loans solicited here
week or two ago, to provide for extreme emer-
gencies In different cities. have not been
wanted and threatening failures at several
points have passed without causing much dis
turbance. Yet the actual conditions do not
seem to have changed materially. The largo
demand for redscounts and advances by
western and southern banks, though consid-
erably abated, has been greater than eastern
banks could wholly meet. There Is no definite
improvement in financial affairs abroad, and
the prospect of continued outgo OF gold for
some time to come has not altered. The
speculative markets show comparatively little
activity. Stocks have fallen Off TO some ex-
tent from the rapid recovery of last week.

than a week ago. Wheat and corn are both
at the same price as week ago. Pork Is 25o
high, but other hog products a shade lower,
and while coffee advanced &c oil declined a
cent. natual decline is seen in dairy pro-
ducts aud potatoes. Cotton is also &c lower.
The business failures for the last seven days
number 273. For the corresponding time OF
last year the figures were 1893.

Is j. Il. Gormlee, a prominent banker
of Bucyrus. The liabilities are given
out by Mr.. Foster as being 5000, 900,
and the assets as about the same.
Several other prominent firms in
which Mr.. Foster was interested were
also forced to assign, among them:
DAVIS q Foster, wholesale gI'ocers; the
Brass and Iron works; the Mambourg,
the Calcined and Croker window glass

200, 900 Visit the Big Fair on Sunday.

A conservative estimate of the num-
Der of visitors who entered the gates
of the Worlds Fair on Sunday is placed
at 200, 900. The bulk of the crowd was
in the afternoon and evening. Though
the immense grounds were well filled,
the crowd was quiet and orderly. The
working people were there in full
force, dressed in their Sunday best, and
seemed above all to enjoy the privilege
for which they had clamored so long.
Many of the state buildings were
closed, some by order of state legisla-
lures and others upon the authority of
the state commissioners alone. The
Michigan building was open from early
morning until 1880 at night. All gov
eminent buildings were closed, and
even the flags were hauled down.
Guards were placed at all entrances to
inform people of Uncle Sans disap-
prevail of Sunday opening and to pre-
vent any attempt to force way into
the building. The music during the
day and evening was furnished by
Sousa, and the Chicago and CiScinnati
bands

A Detroit Editor Honored.

President Cleveland has honored De-
troit and Michigan by appointing VIM.
f. Quinby, of Detroit, to be United
States minister to The Hague, the cap
ital of Holland. The salary is $500.
The present minister is Samuel r.
7Thayer, of Minnesota. The position
is second only to the ambassadorship
to Great Britain and France and to the
ministers to Russia and Germany. 1t
will naturally be concluded in Michi-
gan that this appointment coming so
soon after the recent visit of Mr.. Dick
inson to Washington will be the result
of his influences, and that conclusion
appears not far from correct.

The main purpose ofpaint Is to

preserve secondary one to beauti-
fy. Wood is subject to decay, metals
to rust, stone to scale and crumble.
Paint prevents these. How well or
for how long depends on the quality
of the paint. A good pure linseed
oil paint with the finest turpentine
driers and we'll ground colors, is
known as "Chilton" brand, and it is
only another name for perfection in
paints. 1t is so well and carefully
made, that half gallon of it will COW
er properly almost as much surface as
a gallon of other paint. Besides this
it preserves from decay for a longer
time any material it covers. 1t has q
solid body, gives beautiful gloss to
the work, and earns admiration wher-
ever it is used. Only reliable dealers
sell it. You can make an arrange
ment with them that they will allow
you what you paid for all unopened
packages which you return in good
condition. Thus you have no paints
for future generations to stumble over
in the cellar. If you want to paint
your house economically and well and
not have to paint again for years, use

Suggested Opportunity.

Boston Herald:
The disposition of many Republi-
cans to support President Cleveland
if he pun sues a fair and liberal policy,
based primarily upon regard for the
interests of the country, is something
SO conspicuous as to attract general
attention. There are many of these
men disposed to be charitable toward
the President in allowing him to take
his own view of what is for the coun-
try's good, provided they see proof of
the sincerity of his intentions. This
is most interesting condition in our
present politics, and may become
highly important to the permanent
condition of the Democratic party, if
ii is properly appreciated by Demo-
cratic politicians. They have an op-
p p,rtunity here that seldom occurs &c
any party. They have also an excel.
lent opening to spoil it all, or a great
part of it, if in such conjuncture
they undertake to urge upon the Pres.
ident injudicious action, or induce
him, directly or indirectly, 10 take 8
course which will repel these men sc
well inclined toward him. The dan.
ger in the connection is largely in the
conferment of Office, and very much
depends upon the Presidents ccurs.
