DEATHS IN HAVANA.

CNN ! ID NV nav ANA
a Havana dispatch says;
DR.. Bruruer has just for
warded to Washington a
complete report of the NOR
tality III Havana January l
to October l3. His figures
are enough to strike terror
to the hearts of those who
are contemplating visiting
the city. Hunger has:caused
no deaths thus far in Octo-
Der, but fevers are still on
the increase. DR.. Brunner's
figures deal only with the
city proper. ."
The military hospitals II
the suburbs would add ma
terially to the totals. In
spite of the fact that Havana.
is considered practically free
of yellow fever this year
eighteen died of that disease
during July, twenty in Au-
gust, twenty-th three in Sep
;tember and seventeen the
first thirteen days of October.
The increase of typhoid fey
er is Ting, as shown by
the following list; Fifty
seven in June, eighty.seven
in July, 127 in August, 1876
in September, and slXty-nlne
during the first thirteen days
of October.
A peruicious fever carried
off 6tty.seven in the first
thirteen days of October an
increase of 200 per cent over
the record of any preceding
month, In the first thirteen
days Of October nlalarial few
er caused AS deaths, making
the total since January of
b52. Dysentery is decreas-
ing, but the total thus far
for the year is 1,052 from
enteritis. Fever generally
is caused by a lack of food
and might be written "starv-
alton 1t has caused 2,40S
deaths, Since January POI
have died as a direct result
of starvation. Those who
have heard the Havana cli-
mate was good for tubercu-
losis will be interested on
learning that SPAS died of
that disease this year. The
total number Of deaths was
S46 in October, an unusually
fairly healthy month, which
shows an increase of all
diseases.

A recent issue of the Ar.

following item relative tc
tobacco raised by the con.
victs of the state. Theil
growing their own tobacco
promises to be a saving
to the state worthy of note
The Gazette says:
'''Tobacco raising in Ar
kansas has been demonstra-
ted to be practicable and
profitable.
The experiment has been
made by the state peniten-
tlary aut horlties and it has
resulted successfully
This year 10000 pounds
of tobacco has been raised
on the convict farm near
Palarm for the use of the
state ConvlCts.
The law requires that the
state shall furnish the con-
yicts with tobacco and last
year the conYitt's tobacco
supply cost the state Sc, 400,
The convict raised tobacco
is turned out in twist style
and is PRONOUNCED good for
both chewing and smoking
purposes,
Gov. Jones was putting
away at a corr-cob r1pe full
of the new tobacco when a
Gazette representative en-
tered the subernatorlal Office

The governor exhibited a

There Is much discomfort among bimetal-
lists, who believe that Bryan is entitled to a

troll OF the Democratic convention sacrificed
their manhood and principles for public
