It is reported chat the Savoy Music Hail.
Dublin, which IN the cd days was known
as the Grafton rheater, has been leased
by a London syndicate, with a view to
its conversion into a, popular palace of
varieties on the lines of the London West
End muse halls. 1t is proposed to denol
ISL the present structure and erect in its
place o modernized building, capable Of

tered in the Dublin district, during the
quarter ended September 26th, 1896, was
2o33, showing All annual ratio OF 1913 in

quarter WAS 0.727--a number equal to an
annual mortality of 1871 in every 1000 of

and in Edinburgh 1851, affording an an

the estimated population. Thus, Dublin,

uatio1s appears in the unenviable position
of being, comparatively, the most TN
healthy great city in the British Isles.
There is evidently something wrong
about this fact The deaths in Dublin
for the week ending October 10th repre-
scented an annual mortality of 1916 in ev-
cry 1000 OF the population. The rate for
Belfast was 1874 and for Cork 17.3.
