The most striking fact that appears
in the table is the heslthtulness OF
London compared with other great
cities, Chicago excepted, With a
population twice as great as that OF
Paris, and three times as great as that
OF New York. her death rate is won
derfully less than that OF either.
There is no reason to accept buta dis
graceful reason why New York allows
death rate of seven hundred aud
thirty-six higher than that of London.
What does this mean except that New
York permits the unnecessary deaths
of six thousand six hundred and thirty
Of her citizens every year?
1t is plain that there is something
radically wrong about all this Death
rate figures are surely among those
that do not lie. 1t may not be quito
just to compare the awful death rate
Of New Orleans with the splendid
showing of Minneapolis and ST. Paul,
but no such extenuating circumstances
as are to be considered In reference to
the southern city can be adduced to
excuse the glaring differences between
the principal northern ami north- oast 7
ern cities Of onr country. These diff
fsrences are profound reproach to
city boards Of hsalth. to the city gov
ernmsnts, and to all public spirited
citizens. New York is in every way
better situated than Chicago as regards
easy sanitation. and iu many ways
possesses such excellent natural advant-
ages over the western city that her
present death rate is a disgrace that
cries out against her.
1t is absolutely unieniable that these
deaths are avoidable. Ii the city gov.
ernments Of American cities would
spend money as freely aud as wisely as
London has done. the brutal death rates
and slaughter of her citiz,ns would
lessen just as they have lesseusd in
London. II Loulol cIred as little for
the liveS'of her citiz9ns as New York
seems to care for hers, there would die
in that great city every year twenty.
one thousand five hundred aud twenty
four people more than at present.

REMARKABLE FoRGERIEs
Perpetrated Upon the Banks or
ST. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, March ga series of
forgeries of the most remarkable kind
has been unearthed in this city. and de-
tectives are now at work upon it. at
least eight banks have suffered and
possibly more. The aggregate of the
forged paper will reach $40, 900. all OF
which sum has gone into the pockets of
a gang Of professionals. who have sue
cueeded by the use of a system never
before equaled. the principal feature OF
which was the securing OF genuine
check blanks and full knowledge Of the
serial numbers. by which knowledge
they were able not only to minimize the
danger in uttering but also delay de-
lection. The Continental bauk. Bank
of the Republic and Citizens bank ad-
NIT suffering losses, bat state that no
one bank will lose large sum.
AS nearly as can be learned, all the
forgerieS were uttered last Friday and
Saturday. The only banks which ac-
knowledge suffering are those named,
but practical assent was given TO in
quiries made at five other banks. and il
is possible that even more were victim
lied. OF the alleged drawers of the
forged checks the official signatures of
f. E. Little q Co., feather dealers, and
julius Labsap, wholesale clothier, are
known to have been forged. in addition
to that of the c. W. Melcher Machine
company. AS an instance of the work
of the gang, in less than ten hours after
the call of the alleged print house re-
preventative upon Mr.. Melchsr. $500
check bearing c. w. Melcher's
signature and being an exact dupli-
cate in its engraving and printing
of the genuine checks of tbs firm. was
presented at the Continental bank and
paid. 1t had all been previously pre-
pared. except the serial number, which
was supplied at the last moment for the
reason stated. 1t happened to be four
numbers out of the way by the time the
forgery reached the bank, but this was
close enough for the purpose of the
Swindlers.
The admissions of the police, now
ever, are sufficient to confirm the open
ing statement of this Item that fully
eight banks have been victEnized to the
amount of $4,000 or more. Another
theory advanced is that the forgeries
were the work of the men who recently
got INTO the Texas banks by means or
raisei drafts.
St. Paul daily globe., 1894-03-24

Two giants among men-the greatest
statesman and the greatest physician
that America has produced-Daniel
Webster and Edward E. Phelps-have
both done honor to Dartmouth college,
one as a student. the other as an in
structor.
To Prof. Edward E. Phelps, III. D.,
Ii. D.. the world today owes longer
life and more freedom from sickness
than to any other physician.
Every Dartmouth alumnus of more
than dozen years standing remembers
the awe in which he held the keen OBJ
server whose name appeared ia the col
lege catalogue next to that of the presi-
dent as professor of mateTia medica:
and every younger graduate has ad-
mired the complete museum of medical
botany which Dr.. Phelps gave to the
college.
But it was the world-famed discovery
of Prof. Phelps of an intallible cure for
those fearful Ills that result from an i'm
paired nervous system and impure blood
which mas endeared the great doctor to
the world. and made his life an era in
the practice of medicine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut,
and graduated from the military school
at Norwich, Vt. He studied medicine
with Prof. Nathan Smith, of New Haven.
St. Paul daily globe., 1894-03-24

Conn.,, and graduated in medicine at
Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence among his
professional brethren. In 1885 he was
elected to the professorship of anatomy
and surgery i'll the Vermont university.
In 1S4l he was appointed lecturer on
materia medica and medical botany in
Dartmouth college. The next year he
was chosen professor of the char then
vacated by Prof. Robby, and occupied
the chair. the most important one in the
country, until a few years before his
death in 1880.
He had for years foreseen the dangers
OF the American way of living. He went
about to find scientific. eommon-sense
remedy to cure the common evils that,
under one name and another. result
from an unnealthfui state of the nerv-
Gus system. and within score of years
have seemed to be sweeping over the
country like an epidemic.
He succeeded.
He gave to the medical profession a
celebrated remedy, which has since come
to be known the world over as Paine's
celery compound.
1t was DIR. Phelps prescription which
ever since has been freely used and
prescribed by the most eminent of the
profession. The formula was furnished
10 ali reputable physicians. They found
St. Paul daily globe., 1894-03-24

the wonderful remedy to be exactly
what was claimed for it, great nervs
and brain strengthener and restorer 1t
was demonstrated beyond doubt that
Paiue's celery compound would cure
nervous debility and exhaustion, neu-
ralgia, sieeplessness, dyspepsia, and all
blood diseases.
1t was as harmless as it was good. and
it was the universal advice of the medi-
cal profession that the compound be
placed where the general public could
secure 1t, and thousands of people have
every year proven the wisdom of this
good advice.
The recent advice of Commodore
Howell 70 use this compound, which
the commodore publicly said had saved
his own life, and the published testi-
monials OF Mayor McShane. of Mont
real. the poet-author Hardy. George
Wright, Marie Tempest. Councillor
Morse, Mabel Jenness and other men
and women of national reputation, have
brought the compound into special no.
tice.
AS wellknown physician in this
city says: ''Paine's celery compound
IS not patent medicine; it is not sar-
sapariila: it is not mere tonic; it is not
an ordinary nervine-it is as far beyond
them ali as the diamond is superior to
cheap glass"
