NEW YORK HAS THE GRIP.
A Bridegroom of Week Among the Sea-
sons Victims.

New York, December 12.-Sudden and
unexpected changes in the weather have
encouraged the appearance of the grip.
These sudden changes have been in pro-
gress since November. Observer Dunn
cannot account for the frequency of the
changes, save by the matter of fact
theory that the supply of cold waves
hasn't been enough to produce settled
cold weather, which is what the doctors
say will stave off any epidemic of the
grip. The summer season was one of the
mildest and most equable in temperature
known. Outdoor sports and outdoor life
were popular and lasted till late in the
fall. he strength and health gained
through the favorable weather has, it is
thought, had the beneficial effect of pre-
venting general saccumbing to the
grip again. There is no epidem ic and
there will be none if the weather clerk
deals honestly with the town and sends
consistently cold weather.
But since the beginning of these rapid
changes occasional deaths from the
disease have come to the notice of the
heath board, showing where constitu
tlon weaker than the average had yielded
to the attacks of incipient sporadic grip
Last week There were three such deaths
ana druggists reported GnaG the ING u1r1eS
for medicines for abdominal grip had
taken a remarkable jump. The contrac-
ton of certain muscles of the chest was
also complained of, and in the athletic
clubs no amount OF rubbing with alcohol
would relieve the stiffness of the arm
and neck muscles after violent exercise.
Unusually sad was the death OF the
second victim of this Russian malady.
Wallace Eugene Blackford was married
last Monday night, the occasion being
his 23d birthday. The wedding was one
of the society events of the year in
Brooklyn, and the Washington Avenue
Baptist church, where the ceremony was
performed proved inadequate to the
demands made upon it by the friends of
the bride, Miss Lillian Tompkins, and of
the bridegroom, Mr.. Blackboard The
latter had not been in the best of health
for week or two, but his condition
was not regarded as serious, and at the
fete given ia honor of the occasion none
appeared to be in better spirits than he.
After the wedding young Mr.. Blackford
was forced to take to his bed. and in
spite of the most skillful medical attend
ance he succumbed to what proved
to be an aggravated attack Of the grip.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company during the month of October,
1898. wrote A LARGER AMOUNT OF
NEW BUSINESS THAN IN ANY COR
RESPONDING MONTH DURING THE
PAST TWENTY YEARS.
While the New Issues are SO rapidly
increasing, it is equally worthy of note
that the Company's Death-rate shows
not only relative but an actual de-
cline; this factor SO all-important in the
transaction of a Life Insurance Business
is of such marked character, that a
few facts and figures in connection there
with are given.
The Notices of Death received by the
Company from January 1st to October
31st, 1893, amounts to $379,325 and when
compared with the corresponding period
of 1892 shows very substantial de-
crease, thus
