In some recently published statistics of
the University Hospital of the University
of Michigan, the death rate, through print
er's error, was given as 26 per cent. This,
If it were true, would mean that only three
out of every tour patients who enter The
hospital come out alive AS a matter of
fact the death rate Is about 2 8 per cent,
which Is much lower than Ia the maj ority
of hospitals having a large number of oper-
alton cases. In such institutions the death
rate Is usually from 4 to 10 per cent, If in
addition the customary reduction is made
for moribund cases Chose dying within "a
hours after arrival), the actual death rate
among the in-patients Is but 2. 33 per cent
and among all the patients LIS per cent.

SENATOR o. H. PLATT ABSENT

Narragansett Pier, r. l., July 1.-THE
members of the subcommittee of the
United States senate finance commit
tee, who have come here to discuss the
question of currency reform, have set
tied down to two sessions aggregating
six hours daily. The deliberations of
the committee are private, and Senator
Aldrieh of Rhode Island, chairman of
the subcommittee, stated decidedly to-
day that every statement which had
been printed, purporting to come from
the COMMITTEES, has been purely guess
work. He said: I'VE may reach stages
in progress when the publication of
news concerning the progress of our
work can do no harm, but at present
no bill or section of a bill has been
drafted"
The members of the committee here
frequently are in communication by
wire with their colleagues who have not
been able to be present at the confer
nee. Senator Plat of Connecticut has
been called home by illness in his fam
lily. 1t is thought the committee will
finish it's work in two or three weeks.

THE PENNSYLVANIA AND THE
NEW YORK, NEW HAVEN AND

HARTFORD.
In an editorial article yesterday the
Railroad Gazette refers to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and the Central albany
lease as follows:
The interchange of traffic back and
forth over the two roads (New York
Central and Boston and Albany may
not be any closer or greater in volume
than it has been in the past, but the
certainty of the continuance of that in
terchange is worth good deal The
great rival of the New York Central is
the Pennsylvania railroad, and the
Pennsylvania railroad is liable some
time to have close and strong alliances
in New England, and it is not amiss for
the New York Central to have it's own
strong New England system In fact
the New Haven road and the Pennsyl-
vania are already allied, as far as
freight and passenger rates are con-
cerned, on such a solid foundation of
mutual interest that the Central may
for all practical purposes consider them
almost as one road. 1t may be assumed
that the New Haven, getting q better
east-bound freight business from the
Pennsylvania than it does from the Bos-
ton and Albany with its numerous
north and south lines it continues to do
a large interchange traffic with the
Boston and Albany for and from points
west of the Hudson river, already ia
Vors the Pennsylvania heavily on, west
bound; but that does not prove that it
would not be able to, and actually
would, take a great deal more away
from the New York Central If it owned
the Boston and Albany outright. The
Central people, therefore, had to con-
slider the contingency, not only that
their Boston connection might be bought
up by the New Haven, but that it might
come completely within the power, IL
not the possession, of the Pennsylvania
itself.

AN OILY HABIT.

There are people who become uncon-
sciously addicted to the butter habit;
that is to say, they like butter and
gradually eat little more as the
months go by until they find they have
consumed, each meal, quite a quantity
of fat, that they have not vitality
enough to properly digest.
This indigested substance causes more
or less catarrh of the stomach and
trouble with the bowels.
The remedy, of course, lie to largely
cut down the allowance of butter, and
for two or three nights sup nearly a
quart of very hot water just before go
ing to bed. This washes out the sto-
mach and bowels and gives them re-
newed vitality. Then the person should,
for a few mornings at least rely on
good, rich cream, with Grape-Nuts, for
breakfast, letting out the butter alto
gether. The cream gives all the fat
needed.
Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an
ideal portion of any breakfast.

The officer giving denial to the consol-
| iddtion story said:
cit was reported last week that Mi.
Cassatt was present at the meeting OF
| the New York Central board of direc-
tors Mr.. Cassatt was not at that meet
ing. He was in New York at the time,
and made only a friendly call on Mr..
Vanderbilt and President Galloway.
The fact is, this whole story is a pure
invention. This is seen when it is con-
sidered that the two roads are not COM
lpetitors and, therefore, have no need
for an amalgamation The Central
road partakes of a family affair, and
will 50 remain under the present man
a.ement."
He ridculed the idea that Mr.. Van
derbilt was instrumental in securing
President Cassatt's appointment, and
denied the statement that Mr.. Wander
bilt is the largest stakeholder in Ghe
Pennsylvania railroad.
Although Pennsylvania railroad off,
Gals dscredit the report that w, X.
Vanderbilt is the largest stakeholder in
that road, it is fact that the New
York holdings have largely increased in
the past nine months. Large arbitrage
houses here say to-day that block after
block of Pennsylvania shares sold
abroad have been taken up in New
York. On the exchange here to-day
brokers were inclined to the opinion
that Vanderbilt holdings in the Penn
sylvania were large enough to have q
voice in its affairs, but far from a con-
troll. They did not believe that Mr..
Vanderbilt could ever secure control of
the road.

NOT LIKELY TO LEAVE THE BOS-
TON AND MAINE

A special despatch to the New York
Evening Post from Boston last evening
says of Lucius p. futile formerly OF
New Haven and of the reported COM
ing absorption of the Boston and Maine
as follows:
with regard to the story in railroad
management growing out of the alb
sorption of the Boston and Albany by
the New York Central might include
the retirement of Lucius futile from
the presidency of the Boston and
Maine, to become the head of the oper-
ating system of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford. One of the most
influential of the Boston and Albany di-
rectorS said:
THE New York Central has no in
tention Of acquiring the Boston and
Main, and does not want it, and it
would be difficult to secure it if it did.
The stock is widely scattered, although
there are some large holdings and it
would not be easy to get it together.
What does the Boston and Maine
want or expect under the new agree
ment?
only, as we have already stated, a
comfortable traffic arrangement, such
as we enjoy now. We anticipate moth
ing but good to come to the road and
to New England from the Vanderbilt
control"
