WHERE DEADLY GERMS
OF DISEASE LURK.
Statistics Show Sanitary Importance
of Connection With the Public
Sewers.

OF the eleven deaths from diphtheria
which have occurred in December and jan
uary in this city. roma have been in homes
connected with the pupisr -.Yers.
This significant fact is shown by records
kept by Sanitary Inspector Emory. and in
vestigatea with special reference TO the
sanitary surroundings OF homes in which
infectious disease has found victims. OF
the eleven only three used city water. AL
considered there have been Ia December
thirteen cases of diphfheria and five of
scarla,ina, and this month, up to last Sat
urday. nineteen cases of diphtheria and two
OF scariatina- Thirteen of the afflicted
houses were connected with the public
sewers
The record OF mortality for December
shows six deaths from diphtheria. and in
January five. All save three used well
water
The policy OF CITY Engineer Thomson in
extending the public sewerage system OF
this city In every way possible is indicated
by these striking statistics. In considering
the significance OF these figures. IL must
be remembered that they are taken in the
winter time. when improper sewerage would
not be productive Of such evil results as in
the summer.

WEEK IN MUSIC.

The concert to be given Monday night.
March 81, In the Peoples church, which
is the next In the Library Schubert club
series, will no doubt be the largest and
most artistic of any of its predecessors.
Of Ffrangcon Davies the Eastern Daily
Argus says:
'Mr. Ffrangcon Davies that superb and
exciting artist, came as near perfection
as any one may hope to hear In life
time. Representative Of the best sing
ing traditions, broad and noble in tone,
austerely beautiful in vocalization, Mr..
Ffrangcen Davies shows also fine SINGER
ity of purpose, dramatic feeling and in
telligent grasp. He Is the compeer of
Santley at his best. He is a revelation
in the grand style of oratorio singing; a
model to pattern after, and to hear the
title role of Elijah sung by the acknowl-
edged interpreter living is the occasion
of life time
But, in addition to Davies, appears
Monday evening another star in whom
st. Paul is much interested. That is
Nine. De Wolf.
The Schubert club chorus and orches-
ira, who also appear in this concert,
will appear to probably better advan-
tage than any chorus that has appeared
in the city. Reserved seats can be had
at Howard, Farwell & Co.'S.
The Ellis Grand Opera company comes
to the Metropolitan Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, April 10. IL and IL. With
Melba, Gadsk Zelie de Lussan and 9TH
er great operate artists, the organiza-
ton Is undoubtedly the strongest ever
seen in the Northwest and 1t is a mat
ter of congratulation that it has been
secured for the Twin Cities. In addition
to Melba, De Lussan and Gadski, the
roster of the company includes such
names as Alvarez, Van Cauteren, De
Vries, Bourdouesque, Mattfield Steh-
mann, Van Hose, Stury, Rains, Viv1ani.
De Sol and Bonnard. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say that only artists Of ex-
traordinary merit can find 1t possible to
become members of the Damrosch-E Ellis
company, even the chorus being COM
posed of vocalists Of the highest order
The repertory of the company includes
