MARRIAGE ON TIE DECREASE.
Stnl There Were Nearly 10000 We'd
dings In London Last Year.

stnl There Were Nearly 10000 We'd
dings In London Last Year
From the London Mail: A volume
prepared by Dr.. Shirley F. Murphy,
medical officer of health for the admin
istrative county of London, gives
timely reminder of the gigantic nature
of the task which has to be discharged
by the county council and the vestries
in maintaining the health CT the in
habitants Ct the metropolis. The pop
ulation of London is approaching T.
10000, and for purposes of sanitary
supervision the area is divided into 43
districts, each having it's medical OFF,
Ger of health. Sanitation and medical
science are graphing successfully with
disease. and the illustrative diagrams
by means Of which DR.. Murphy reduces
numerous bewildering battalions of sta
t:stics to striking comprehensive i'm
preston Of that contest tell on the
whole fairly satisfactory story. Mar
riages are certainly found to be de-
Ginning when we take a long survey,
even If We are not able to say that the
diminution is all under the head OF i'm
provident unions. The marriages dur
ing the forty-five years from 1851 to
1896 show mean rte of 1873 per
900. But from 1851 to 1876 the mar
rage rate each year was above that
mean. There was indeed a brief Pc
rlcd-it covered the '60s-when marry
ing in London burst forth with excep-
tonal fervor, but the abnormal effort
seems TO have had the consequence OF
all abnormal efforts in a remarkable re-
action, and since then making "nup-
tlal OF two hearts" has gone steadily
downward, though, we may add, to
reassure the timorous, that in actual
figures the elimination on the quarter
OF century is from 1875 to $50 per
600. Last year $50 marriages were
made in London, and the number is
probably ample. The birth rate too,
IS on the down grade, the turn in this
department beginning about 1865, and
continuing until now. Last year births
were most numerous in the combined
eastern districts and lowest in the
western, and We notice. furthermore,
born IN the western part Of London,
more infants died there than in any
other group of districts. The fall in
the London birth rate corresponds
strangely with fall over the whole
CT England and Wales.

few days ago a sensation was
caused at lonia by the discovery of a
counterfeit silver certificate. The hill
had been offered TO the cashier of one
Of the local banks and pronounced by
him to be bogus. and this opinion was
confirmed later by a civil service off,
Ger who went there to investigate the
matter. The bill had partially split in
Two and 1t was supposed to be one q,
the kind where the front and hack
are printed en- separate sheets Of thin

THE STATE TICKET.

As we predicted last week, Governor
Scofeld has been nominated for a
second term. We, however, did not
expect that l.:s victory would be SO
easy and so decisive, and we fancy Mr..
LaFole,te and his friends must have
been surpri.ed at the result, as they
had expected to show more strength.
Disappointed az they doubtless are, We
believe that the Republican party gen
eralr will approve of the choice Of the
convention. The other members of the
ticket are all good, clean men, and will
give the state a clean government. The
nomination OF Graham l.. Rice, of SUI
perior, as State railroad commissioner,
is particularly gratifying to the people
Of this city. and we congratulate Mr..
Rice on his good luck.

THE SHAH A WEAK RULER,
Has Already Brought His Country t,
the Verge of Dissolution.

Has Already Brought His Country to
the Verge of Dissolution.
From the London Standard: The
new Shah Of Persia is an Indifferent
ruler. It was. for Persia. favorable
omen that his accession to the throne
in May. 1896. after the murder of his
father, Nasr-ed Din. was effected with
out riot and bloodshed But, after 10
months Of rule. Muzaffer-ed-D;n seems.
by his extravaganza and weakness. to
have undone all the good that his faith
er did and brought the state to the
verge of dissolution. Shiraz. the great
city Of southern Persia, appears to have
openly rejected the governor sent from
Teheran, and 1t may be conjectured
that in Ispahan, the true capital, there
are many who would prefer their old
governor, the Zil-es-Sultan. to his
younger and far less competent broth
er, who Is now on the throne The
shah's apparent failure was not unex-
expected. DR.. Wills long ago cescrib-
ed him as being weak both In BODY and
mind, and, though Mr.. Curzon some
years since took more favorable view
OF the unknown quantity" which. he
thought, might turn out somewhat Of
surprise it was generally felt tina:
the older and more experienced obscr-
yer was more likely to be right. But
1t is very unfortunate for Persia that
Muzaf1er-edDin should have failed.
His father was brutal despot In many
ways, but he gave Persia the strong
government which she needs, and
checked every attempt on the part of
either priests or officials to make them
selves independent OF the central DOW
er. weak. disorganized Persia must
not only be Prey to anarchy, but is
also perpetual temptation TO Russia,
and, therefore. menace to the general
peace.

Profitable Bargain.

Old Maid Who Liked Sailing Drove
Profitable Bargain.
How to live without working was
problem successfully solved by an old
maid whom Lippiucott's M gazine de-
scribes. Twenty Years ago a steam
packet company of Liverpool wished to
buy a piece of land which was owned
by a 'stayathome spinster," as her
neiahbors described her She sold her
land at very low price but insisted
upon clause being inserted in the
agreement giving her the right. at any
time during her life, to travel with a
companion in any Of the company's
vessels. When the agreement was closed
she sold her furniture and went on
board the first out going ship belonging
to the packet company. For years that
wise spinster lived nearly all the time
upon one ship or another, frequently
accompanied by a companion, accord
ing to the agreement. This was always
a person who otherwise would have
been regular passenger. but who pur-
chased her ticket at reduced rates by
paying the spinster instead of the pack
ct company. The company offered her
more than twice the value of the land
if she would give up her privileges, but
this she would not do. Her reply was.
You got the land cheap, and l like
sailing, so we ought both to be salts
fed"
