afternoon. sun shining on the soft

that had gone before.
"My darling, how happy you look.
l know yoa have been successful, for
yoir eyes look oil shiny, as you used
to say when You wero little girl.
Was the Professor very stern and was
the ordeal as bad as you anticipated"
"Oh, no; he was quite polite and
grasped my hand so tight when went
away that he made my ring cut me,

showed the wound.
"Poor little hand to think that it
is really all we have to depend upon, -
sighed Mrs Power.
Nonsense, mother darling, your
hand is going to help, too. and with
such force as that we will get along,
never fear. The Professor said it was
a good plan and that he would help
me in every way he could"
''1e was an old friend Of your
fathers
Eyes, he SAID so, replied Jessie,
but she did not add what he had said
regarding her helping her mother. for
it was !. very sore point with Mrs.
Power to think that her tenderly
rea=ed child should have to labor for
them both because she vas physically
enfeeble1 SO that such labor OF love
would only end in her bringing on
some greater and mere serious trouble.
1t was a great Joy to her that in this
new venture she could in reality lead
a hand and in the discussion OF the
p.ans for the ''ousiness," as Jessie
would insist upon calling it, they both
grew quite animated and, for time
forgot their troubles.

BIC MORTALITY DECREASE.
Health Boards Tenement-House
Census Report Completed.
II speaks Well for the Efforts of
the Sanitary Officers.

The tcnement-house census OF the city
OF New York. on which the Board OF
Health officials have been at work for
months past, has just been completed,
and the result was reported to President
Wilson this morning.
A comparison OF the figures of 1891
with those of 1893 shows vast improve
ment In the city's sanitary condition.
The fact is emphasized most particu-
larly by the decrease In the mortality
rate OF children under five years OF
age.
The figures show that during the first
half OF 1893 the total number of births
was 1874 5l. rate In proportion to the
population Of 24S1; deaths, 20, i34, a rate
of 20 marriages, S.lsS. a rate OF l734.
During the nrst SIX months of 1894 the
number Of births was S,ls6, g rate OF
S.so; deaths. 2l555. a rate Of 22.H2; mar
During the first six months OF the
current year there was decrease of
2,l79 deaths as compared with the same
f''H Increase re- S'' Of 4s births pf favor oi
1894. In the number of marriages,
however. In this time there was de-
crease of 3S5.
Considering the increase in the tene-
ment- house population. the decrease OF
the death rate Is something quite re-
markable, and seems to demonstrate
unusual activity on the part OF the
Sanitary Department Of the Board OF
Health. The total tenement-house
population, according to the Board OF
Health census, in 1891 was i.22b.42 and
IN the tenemsnt-house distriots in 1891
was 20 12S, and in 1893. with its increase
4 over 100000 in population. was only
aO.sl5.
The general death rate in 1891 was %. n
In 1893, 2275. showing a steady improve
ment In the sanitary condition OF the
tenement-housed district. The populate
In 1881 OF children five years old and over
was l,O64. 7l3. and In 1893. l,l52, IA. The
number OF deaths of people five years
old and over was l6,l73 in 1891 In 1895
l6. 4se. The death rate from 1891 to
1893 had only increased $50 OF per cent
creased from l60708 In 1891 to 1s0.359 In
1893. The death rate among these In
fants had decreased from 1851 in 1891 to
1854 in 1893.
If all the deaths In institutions. which
could not be credited to the houses from
which they were removed to those insti-
tutions, are charged to the tenement
houses, without adding to the population,
the Institutions death rates would be az

seems to have come to u halt for the
lack Of evidence. II Is said that the
witnesses who appeared before the
Lexow Committee have been advised
not to testify before the Police Board.
and have for some reason taken the
advice. They believe they will forfeit
the protection of the Lexow Committee
If they give evidence before the police
tribunal.
This il to be regretted. inasmuch as the
service could not fail to be benefited by
the removal OF corrupt officers. and II
they were not removed II would be
proof that the Commissioners do not
desire TO purify the force. This is just
what the people want to know.

OVER $4,000 FOR THE BAs1Ek

The Sick Babies Fund crosses the
$4,000 line to-day. That game OF base
ball played at the Polo Grounds yester-
day by picked teams from the players
OF TAG" and THE Passing Show" gave
1t boost Of nearly $40. Now the Fund
Is on the five-hgure course, and II times
were not so hard and the sources of
money so disturbed We might expec. to
realize at least $4,000 before the Sum-
mer Is over.
And we may do that anyhow. The
Sick Babies Fund does its best work
in times like the present. Distress and
disease go hand in hand. The children,
OF course. suffer most. When there Is
no work and no money in the home ex-
chequer how can the doctor be paid
This charity not only pays the doctor,
but It pays for the medicine and 1t pro-
vides food and clothing when they are
necessary. The Evening Worlds"
corps Of free doctors stands beside the
cradles IN the tenements and fights
death off.
The Fund has saved thousands and
thousands oil little lives. 1t Is doing
noble. marvellous work every day. The
people have made this charity their own.
That is why 1t nourishes 60 splendidly,
10 matter how adverse the conditions.
