DIED OF GASTRITIS
JOHN ONEIL's MOTHER is INDIG-
NANT OVER AN UNWARRANT-
ED PUBLICATION.


ED PUBLICATION.
The statement that John O'Neil, Of
No. 205 Monroe street. published in a
morning paper, died Of alcoholism. Is
untrue. His family and attending
physicians say that he died Of gastritis.
He was not sent to Farrhurst as an
INDECENT, but es a pay patient. his mo-
ther having arranged to pay the insti-
tuition $40 a week to nurse him back
TO health. one stipulation being that he
was TO have day nurse and a night
nurse. He had not had but two drinks
of liquor in over five years and they
were taken during the sickness of three
weeks. which terminated fatally.
He was 33 years old. unmarried. and
an only son. Ever since he was a mere
boy he has been in the employ of the
p w. & B. Railroad Company. and
for several wears past attended the
switches at Poplar street.
He was a member of the Weccaoe
Fire Company and exceedingly popular
with both the railroad men and fire.
men.
His mother is much grieved that
such n stiema should have been at
tached to his name.
Funeral services will he held at st
Paul's Church at 9 o'clock on Saturday
morning. and interment will be mad,

UsELEss PRECIPITATION.

Yesterday the Wayfarer was stroll
ing along the Christiana on the look
out for items OF interest At Fourth
street wharf he saw two sloops un-
loading nice oysters. Approaching one
of them he addressed the captain, pull
ing out his notebook and pencil as he
did so.
"What is the name of your boat, cap
tain?" asked the Wayfarer
without waiting to answer, the SKIP
per rushed below to the cabin and
came back in a second or two with a
big envelope. bearing the stamp Of Of
ficialdom, in his hand.
Holding il out to the Wayfarer he
started to say something but was not
permitted to do so. as the Wayfarer
saw that the envelope contained his Ii
cense
"Darned If I want this" he said
"Im no custom house officer
The skipper took it back and said nc
thought he had struck a government
spotter of some kind.
Having satisfied that he had not, he
gave the Wayfarer the name of his own
sloop. which was the Paul, Of New Ier-
sew. and also the name of another
which was lying around the end OF tn
wharf. Then, as though thinking that
he had not made sufficient reparation
for his mistake. he made tender OF
dozen prime Maurice Cove oysters
which were quite palatable.

DELIGHTFUL "MARITANA."
Wallace's ever-tuneful opera, Mari

Opera House last night, when Waite's
Opera Company appeared. 1t Is a fa-
vorite and familiar opera, and has been
seen here before, but the performance
of last night, barring a few pardOnable
hitche5 in the stage scenery, was rem

the large audience which filled the
house was we'll pleased, but at times,
when the singers deserved applause.
the audience was cold and reserved.
Miss Myra Morella, as "Maritana," a

The successful operation of paper
hanging by machine is one of the lat
est achievements of mechanical IN
genuity, says the Werkstatt. The ar
rangement employed for this purpose
is provided with a rod, upon which the
roll of paper is placed. and paste re-
ceptacle with a brushing convenience
is attached in such manner that the
paste is applied automatically on the
back of the paper. The end of the
wall paper is fixed at the bottom OF
the wall, and the implement rises on
the wall in such a manner as only to
require that it be set by one workman.
While the wall paper unrOlls and,
provided with paste is held fiat against
the wall, an elastic roller follows on
the outside, which presses it firmly
and with exact smoothness to the wall.
The final and completing operation is
when the wall paper reaches the top
the workman now pulling a cord,
whereby it Is cut off from the remain
der of the roll.

Tom Paine's Bridge.

A piece of cable recently found in a
historic dwelling at the Falls Of
Schuylkill recalls the first suspension
bridge of single arch ever attempted
in this country. The idea originated
with Thomas Paine, 1.-The great COM
mOner of mankind" while he was
spending the summer of 1886 at the
hotel near the falls of Schuykill. The
idea was suggested to him by the
mechanism Of a spider web, and he be-
gan to work upon plans for an iron
bridge to span the river at that point.
To lay his model before the French
Academy of Science, Paine went to
France in 1887, but that country was
already on the road to revolution, and
had no time for the study of bridges.
In England Paine forgot his scientific
mission and became absorbed in polit-
ical affairs, which ended with his i'm
prisonment and gave to the world "The
Rights of Man." but lost to it for many
years advanced scientific bridge-build-

all causes in the four years to the
frightful total OF 360,2C7. These are
the official figures, compiled after an
exhaustive examination OF the army
rolls. A careful analysis of these
death statistics develops one important
fact, however, which has heretofore
escaped the eyes of those writer's who
have recently been so prolific of theor
les and statistics concerning the many
aspects of mortality in volunteer ar
mics. 1t is this: While the general
average clearly shows that far more
soldiers died of disease than were kill.
ed by Southern bullets, the rule when
applied to the armies in the field, to
the fighting regiments. does not hold
good. In these commands it is found
that decidedly more men were killed
than died of disease. Killed in battle
also includes those who died soon after
of wounds:

Who Is Doing What.

There are nearly twenty-three mil
lion OF people in the United States
that are doing something. OF the
whole number of working people the
females form 1922 per cent Divided
by classes the working people of the
country are as follows: Agriculture
fisheries and mining, 9.013,336; profess
siOnal, 944,333; domestic and personal
service, 4,36O,577; trade and transport
alton, 1896 122; manufacturing and
mechanical industries, 5,O91 ,293. Con-
siderably more than four-fifths of the
illiterate male population of the coun-
try and over one-fourth of the illiterate
female population are working. Over
50 per cent Of the wOrkingmen are
married, over q per cent single, over
3 per cent widowed, and one-quartei
of one per cent divorced. In manu-
features and mechanics the carpenters
and joiners, numbering Gil. 4S2, make
up the greatest element, with dress
makers and milliners following with
499,690 There are little over 1,000.-
900 boOkkeepers, clerks and statesmen.
690,658 merchants and dealers, 5,2S1,-
557 farmers, planters and OverSeers,
and 3,004,061 agricultural laborers,
1882 miners, and only little over
so, 900 fishermen and oystermen. Pro-
fessors and teachers, aggregating S47,-
344, form the most numerous of the
professional classes. Physician and
surgeons, 1O4,SO5, come next; then
lawyers, $1,000; clergymen, SS,203l
government officials, 1864 musicians,

These findings of official ''regimental
losses" are surprising. In the forty
five regiments enumerated, having a
total enrolment of 6S,546 men, it ap-
pears that 1925 of them were killed
outright in battle or died soon after
of their wounds, while only 1882 men
succumbed to disease during the ser
vice of these commands, which in most
cases was throughout the war. Thus
more than one-quarter of the whole of
these selected commands lost their
lives
