Mortality statistics collected In different
countries seem to concur in giving evidence
of a steady reduction in the number Of
deaths from consumption during the past
half century. 1t may be plausibly suspect
ed that the whole OF the apparent gain is
not real, and that greater exactitude Of
diagnosis and more precise use Of the
term ''phthisis pulmonalis'' may explain
away some of f!it. Still, we may thankfully
believe that q large part is real. We OBJ
tain support in that conclusion by the gen.
eral Impressions formed by intelligent old
people, who. almost without exception as
sure US they hear and see far less of "con-
sumption" now than they did in the days
OF their youth. 1t Is OF great interest to
determine the influences which have been
at work In bringing about this result 1t
may be said at once that attention to the
now SO fashionable doctrine of contagion
til the last few years. no sort Of precau-
tions on that score had been taken 1t Is
possible, but perhaps not very probable
that the inspection Of butchers meat may
By far the most probable hypothesis Is that
the gain has accrued from the improve

which the nineteenth century witnessed

To speak Of England alone, those who can

The food which is now obtained by all is

clusively vegetable than 1t formerly was
The clothes are better and the houses are
better. In spite Of the fact that the age
has witnessed the influx of population into
cities and large towns and partial aban-
donment Of the country, the facilities for
locOmotion and the cultivation by both
sexes Of athletics and outdoor pursuits
have probably secured without diminution
the advantages of fresh air AS regards the
use of alcoholic beverages. the age has
witnessed vast Improvement While there
has been no diminution In the quantity
taken. it has been spread over larger
number Excess has become disgra cef;II
and Is far less common than 1t was, while
what may be called the dietetic use has heen
maintained. Thus. then, we seem to come
to the conclusion that the reduction in the
prevalence OF tuberculosis has been due to
improvement in general stamina and ad
vancement in the arts Of civilized life.

The American Man,

rom the International Monthly,
The most important, because the most
fundamental, Of problems concerning the
quality Of the American man, concerns his
physical condition. as compared with that
of his kindred beyond the sea- As to this
point the evidence Is SO clear that IL needs
little discussion. 1t Is evident that the
American Indians. race evidently on the
ground for many thousand years before
the coming OF the Europeans. had found
the land hospitable. For savages they
were remarkably well developed and
though untitled for steady labor, their
bodies were well made and enduring. TAX
Ing their place. the north Europeans, rep
resenting wide range Of local varieties,
English. Irish, Highland Scotch. Germans,
other groups Of old world peoples, have.
since their implantatiOn a hundred years
or more ago, shown that the area of the
continent from the Rio Grande to the far
north is as suited to our kind as is any
part of the earth. This Is sufficiently
proved by the statistics of American SOL
diers gathered during the civil war; the
American white man of families longest in
this country Is. on the average, larger
than his European kinsman. the increase
being mainly in the size of head and chest
1t Is further indicated by the endurance Of
these men in the trials Of the soldiers life
and by the remarkable percentage of re-
coveries from wounds. This endurance of
WOUNDS was regarded by the late Dr.
Brown-Sequard as feature common to all
the mammals Of this continent being as
he claimed. on the basis of an extensive
experience. as characteristic of American
rabbits as OF American men. Moreover,
the statistics of life insurance companies
doing business In this country appear to
indicate that the expectation of life is
greater here than in the old world

A Florida Ship Canal,

From the Jacksonville Times Union,
The project of cutting ship canal across
the peninsula of Florida has been talked Of
Tor many years, as all great undertakings
are discussed for years before they are
taken in hand and finished The renewed
interest that is now being taken in this
project gives promise that the time for its
execution is near at hand.
1t is not vast undertaking. The canal
would be an unusually long one for a shin
canal but 1t could be run through a coun-
try but little above the sea level. No high
ridges would have to be cut through and
no rock-ribbed soil would be found along its
route. Florida soil is easy to excavate. and
canal cut across this state 100 miles long
would cost less than one of one-fourth Of
Its length across an isthmus with a noun
tain range or range Of hills dividing the
waters on either side. In the past ffteen
years there has been gain Of foreign
traoe OF the gulf ports whose commerce
would go through the Florida canal Of
$l6l .S5S6sS. or nearly $50 per cent.

1t must be said that very humane
spirit toward four-footed creatures prevails

pretty good material. and with holes for

EAGER FOR A FIGHT
NORMAL DIRECTORS TO TEST THE
RIGHTS OF RIVAL STATE
BOARD
ALL FAVOR APPEAL TO COURTS
President Ankeny Says Board of
Control Will Be Asked Why 1t
j Should Not Cease to
Interfere.

'The short of it is that the board Of
control will be asked to come into court
and show cause why it should not mind
its own business and leave us free to
mind ours" Thus spoke President A. T.
Ankeny, of the normal board yesterday
in reference to the fight between the two
boards.
The matter has finally reached a stage
where a settlement out of court is an inn
possibility, and while the normal board
is at court it proposes to have the vital
questions settled for all time.
President Ankeny, Supt. Olsen and AS
sistant Attorney General Donahower were
in consultation yesterday as to the meth
cd of court proceedings. The case will
be delayed a short time as Attorney Cen
eral Douglas is out of town and it is
necessary to get his consent to quo war
Ianto proceedings before the matter Is
taken to the supreme court.
With the exception of J. c. Norby, of
Ada, the members of the normal board
have written to Supt. Olsen stating that
they were in favor of starting proceed
1ngs in the courts at once. President
Ankeny is also anxious to Lave the mat
ter taken up as soon as possible, and it
will probably be taken before the ST.
preme court some time next week.

RAILRoADERs' WAGES RAISED.
Voluntary Advance Made by the Illi-
n0is Central

CHICAGO, Oct. l2.-Five thousand en-
ployes of the Illinois Central railroad,
including practically every freight con-
ductor, brakeman, switchman and
yardman, except those in the far South.
will receive an increase of wages WITH
in the next month. This was decided
CT in a conference between the officers

Brotherhood Of Railway Trainncn 1t
involves an iEcrease in expenditures Gn
the pratt of the company amounting 20
between 600 and $685. COO annually, the
largest single increase in wages grant
ed by any Western road for ten years
For a long time the employees nave
been meditating a demaul for an in
crease, aAI while the officers Of tie
road have rot refused conferences they
have asserted consistently that an in
crease would be Impossible.
1t then was Dropos5i that the sched-
ule be altered, and this meeting with the
approval of the company, the conference
was held and the alteration and the in
crease were considered together.
According to the new arrangements
all freight conductors will be allowed
pay fer Notwithstanding that has
not been done heretofore Their hours
OF work are reduced from twelve %
eleven hours a day and as this~does not
include lowering of wages it means
practically an increase of pay For
overtime taey are to receive SO cents
an hour
The local brakemen are also to have
their hours cut to eleven from the old
period of twelve, and for each hour of
overtime they are to receive % cents.
The difference in wages due to alb,
sorbing of feeders was felt chiefly
in the switch yards, of which there are
over 100 throughout the system. The
men employed in these yards were get
ting from $50 to $50 a month. Under
the new schedule they will receive from
$50 to $50. The foremen will receive a

helpers $780,
