New York'4 Decreasing Death Rate.

The supreme test of Il nineteenth
century city as n desirable civic home
is the safety and protection which it
guarantees to human life; in other
words. the death-rate Is the civic ba-
rometer. and as 1t rises or falls human
beings live or die. A low denth-rate
is usually coincident with a high tax
rate. because an administration which
dares to provide the most improved
methods in its various departments
must pay for them, and in matters
touching human life the best is never
too high-pricced. No one department
can ever bring about a low death-rate,
but it will always depend on the intel
ligent and harmonious working of all
the branches of the city's service.
For New York city the death-rate in
1891 was 26.31; 1899. 25.95; 1893. 25.3O;
1894, 22.76; 1895, 23.11: 1896, 21.52;

Neal Dpw'h Kcckleasu eax.

When the late Neal Dow was a
young man he was chief of the volun-
teer fire department of Portland, Me.
His activity in temperance reform
made him unpopular with the liquor
sellers, and they tried to get him re-
moved.
At hearing of the matter one wit
ness testified that MIR. Dow was arbi-
trary and reckless of the lives Of the
men. By way of illustration, he said
that he was ordered by the chief to
take the pipe which he was holding in
to place where he refused to go, tell
Ing the chief that no man could live
there.
On cross examination he was asked:
What did Mr.. Dow do them"
"Snatched the pipe from my hands
and told me to clear out"
what else?"
He took it into the fire himself"
AT that point the case against the
chief broke down.
