SAD DEATH OF MISS CoMERFoRD

The very sad death Of Miss Anna
Woods Comerford. which occurred last
Monday, was quite a shock to her many
friends and former patients. She was
a graduate of the City Hospital and was
a general favorite with all with whom
she came in contact. Her death was so
unexpected that at first it was sup
posed to have been a mistake. but more
authentic reports confirmed the sad
news. She had nursed a great many
patients in this city and all through the
State. Among her most difficult cases
was one of smallpox. She died at the
home of her sister, Mrs. H. c. futile,
at Emsworth, Pa. and was brought 10
her home. No. 1920 Chapline street,
from which place she was buried last
Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. Drs.
Chambers, Hupp, Hildreth, Walden,
Baird and Armbrecht officiated as pail
bearers.
Rev. Dr. R. R. Swope, of st. Matthew's
Episcopal Church, made some very ap-
propriate remarks about the deceased,
she being a member of his congrega-
ton. BY her death Wheeling loses one
of its most promising nurses.

FOREIGN POPULATIONS.

Europe, according to the latest pub
lished figures. has gained 10000 900 N
population in the last ten years, and
this in the face of an emigration esti-
mated at 10000 The largest increase
is set down for Russia. and it IS fixed
at 12.51O.SO0. The Austro-Tungarian
empire increased 3,5O2.2OO Great Brit
ain 2.452 400. Germany 4.522 600. France
is at the foot of the list. with G. 100;
even Turkey exceeds her. having grown
to the extent of 100000 Asia is grow
ing faster than either Europe or Amer
lea, though. of course, 1t starts from a
bigger basis of population. The last
tenyears ofIndia alone of which cen
sus was taken shows a growth Of 3d.
100000.
We obtain a vivid idea of the vast
ness of the Oriental populations from
these figures. Our own country's in
crease is less phenomenal when we take
into account what is going on the world
over. The lessening of the opporuni-
ties of slaughtering people constitutes
an important factor in the worlds pro-
gress in population.

GOOD CROPS IN PROSPECT.

The governments report Of crop con-
ditions for May has had beneficial eff
feet upon business generally. Winter
wheat has improved 90 per cent. since
the compilation of the April averages,
and is still gaining in condition in
nearly all sections of the country. This
percentage of recovery between April
and May is the greatest that can he
found in a comparison of Federal crop
statistics in any of the past fifteen years
and it augurs favorably for still great
or improvement during the period that
will intervene before the crop shall be
ready for harvesting. The proportion
of spring blowing that has been done
this season is 1915 per cent. of the total,
or 10 per cent. above that of the aver
age year.
The United States are not alone in the
hopeful prospect of their agricultural
interests. The information so far re-
ceived by the Department of Agricul-
ture shows that crop conditions are ex-
cenent in Great Britain and France,
good in Russia and Austro-Hungary,
fair in Germany, Italy and ROumanla,
and unfavorable only in Spain. Nature
is evidently doing all that can be eX-
pected of her to pave the way for more
prosperous trade conditions during the
fall and winter months.

The programme arranged by the Wo-
mans Musical Club was larger than

no more enjoyable afternoons have
been spent in Wheeling for years than
with the musical organization since its
inaugural last November.
The active list now comprises over
100 and the work done, as shown in
each successive recital, proved that all
were in earnest to uphold the object
of the club-the developing of talen5
and musical interest in Wheeling.
This recital was opened with a beau
tiful arrangement for two pianos and
organs of the Barber de Seville"
splendidly rendered by Miss Flora Pol
