to inspire his clergy to take occasional
services during the week by periodically
visiting out of the way parishes and

On one of these occasions, having
formed quite good congregation and
having been moved to much eloquence

any impression on the usually unim-

SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO THE
EAR, NOSE AND THROAT, OBsTET-

AGAIN, WAKE UP.

Attention was called to the report of
the Board of Health yesterday, but the
subject is by no means exhausted. In
deed it is subject which merits con-
tinual hammering at until something
is done to show that the Board of
Health is alive to the exigencies of the
situation.
When we consider what the death
rate is i'll other cities, and we look at
our own death rate, there is certainly
something radically wrong that should
be inquired into. Death rates of "a
and 25 per thousand in England or the
United States instantly demand in
vestigation, but our death rate for the
month of March was 1894. The death
rate of the Americans and Europeans
resident here is by no means abnormal
A rate of 14.40 per thousand would be
satisfactory in a temperate climate.
1t is no tropical atmosphere that rails
es the rate. But the rate for Asiatics
is higher than it has been in either of
the first two months. And there should
be explanation for this.
OF the Hawaiians mention was made
yesterday. A death rate of 1922 per
thousand is simply awful. There is
no reason for it of an epidemic char
acter, In looking through the detail
ed list Of diseases one cannot put ones
finger upon any particular disease
which is sweeping away this portion of
the population at this alarming rate.
There have been seven deaths from
bronchitis and seven from pneumonia.
Is that the cause? No doubt the
twelve deaths from consumption come
principally from the Hawaiians. But
these will lie among the adults, where
as more than fifty per cent of the
deaths among Hawaiians occurred
among children of five years of age
and under, sixteen being one year of
age and under.
There is need Of the Board of Health
facing the matter. 1t does not seem to
strike the bulk of people, or the mem
bers of the Board of Health with the
awful significance that it does a few
thinkers. Seek the cause of it. If the
sections of the town where these peo-
pie live are dirty, clean them. If the
parents are careless, hold inquests, fix
the responsibility and punish those
who allow their children to die. 1t is
no case for arguing around a table,
but it is case which requires action.
AS suggested yesterday the authorities
had better wake up.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

The meeting of those interested in
the movement for associated charities
must be a complete movement, in
which all charities join, or it must be
given up and things go on as they are.
There can be no half measures, no
tentative work, no two or three join
ing together and others coming in af-
forwards 1t is one of those cases in
which it is the whole or nothing. It is
thing to take or to leave. If the town
is developed sufficiently, WELL 1t will
do a great deal towards economizing
and towards putting an end to fraud,
which all charities have to contend
with. If it is not sufficiently devel-
Oped, well, too. 1t is only a question
of waiting till it is, and being impos-
ed upon meanwhile.
Associated charities by no means
imply the merging into one fund of all
the charities of the place. Each char
ity whether based on religious grounds,
or formed on national lines, or upon
whatever plan it may be, will go on its
path Of good deeds, unfettered by any
consciousness of what this or that
body, having the same aim, should
think or wish. 1t is not a scheme for
putting funds into the hands of. a CEN
trail committee and leaving all the rest

1t is satisfactory to know that the
Columbia sailors will get their pay at
last. They have had a hard time and
those, who have advanced them money
or given them credit, have also
had hard time, so the paying off of
the men will send money circulating
into other hands as well. The sailors
and firemens unions have done the
square thing by their members. In this
case, had it not been for strong organ
izations like these, there would have
been no one to take up the cause of
poor Jack. The sailor has many safe
guards thrown about him, but the case
of the Columbia was one where the
sailors treatment was manifestly un-
fair, and where he had no redress. Ais
well that ends well will be the sailors

to a few hard workers. The Roman
Catholic societies will continue, the
Protestant, and IL we had them, the
Mohammedan. The American, Hawa-
iian, British, Portuguese, japanese
and Chinese will each look after their
special people.
What will be the gain then? There
will be a central committee from all the
charities who will examine all cases,
and a person will not be able to draw
money from the separate socities as
has been the case under our present
unorganized system. The writer calls
to mind one instance where a man OBJ
tanned relief from the Roman Catholics
and the Episcopal church at the same
time, and finally obtained money from
both for his passage back to the states.
And the worst of it was he spent the
money so obtained, and eventually got
away with the assistance of entirely
different people. This case is no iso-
lated one. There have been many
frauds of a similar character. Now I'M
der the associated charities such a
thillB COulu HOl happen, IOr the central
committee would know at once that
the case was being helped, say by the
American Relief Society, and it could
not therefore be entered upon the
books of the Portuguese society.
Money obtained by fraud from any
charitable society is direct robbery of
the INDECENT, than which there can be
nothing more mean or disreputable.
Charitable organizations are forever
short of funds, and to defraud the lit
tie store is to defraud some suffering
fellow creature. Moreover it dries UP
the fount of charity, for many people
hesitate to give because they know
that frauds take place
At the meeting to be held tomorrow,
every charitable organization in the
place should be represented by its
president or delegate. It must be !
clearly understood that there will be |
no attempt to act unless all can act to-
gether. There will be no combination |
of American and Hawaiian, leaving out |
the British and Portuguese, for in |
stance 1t must be all or it must be |
dropped. George r. Carter will explain |
more fully the workings and all inter- |
ested in the noble work of charity |
should hear what he has to say on the |
subject of united effort.

The fighting in the Philippines is
costing many valuable lives and among
them shines out the name of the gal
land Egbert, who has found soldier
grave at last. But the present condi-
ton of affairs must be brought to an
end, and Aguinaldo must be crushed
whatever the cost may be. The gal
1antry and bravery of the troops Is
grand. They are establishing a record
for fighting powers which is as high as
any of their ancestors, from the time
of Washington downwards. And the
Filipino is no mean foe. He is brave,
and he knows every inch of the country
he is fighting in. Moreover he fights
in large measure from the shelter of
thickets and not in the open. Next
mail should bring us news of the end
Of the drama.

evidently a great deal of feeling against

come from people of widely differing
thought and of totally different degrees

many who have expressed their objec-

ular move. Before any decision is
made by the executive the mind of the

FOLLOWED THE DRUMMER.
Thereby the Stranger in Town Was
Enabled to Find Where to Get
Something to Eat.

One of Chicago's most enterprising
commercial travellers has just returned
from an extended trip among the mid
die western states, down in the mule
belt region, and tells the following
good one on himself:
"a freight train off the track had de-
layed our passenger train several hours,
SO that we could not reach the town of
W until near midnight. This was
the next town on my route and could
not afford to skip it, as had several

bered that he paid close attention to

THE DREADED CONSUMPTION.

ia. sLoCUM, M. O., THE GREAT CHEMIST
AND SCIENTIST. WILL SEND FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED. THREE BOTTLES
oFHis NEWLY DISCOVERED REM
EDlES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of
1873 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make its great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine. to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this ''new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Address
T. A. Slocum M. C, eS Pine street, New
York and when writing the Doctor, please
give express and post Office address, and
mention reading this article in The Mid
