DEATH RATE LOWER.
STATISTICS SHOW MARKED DE-
CREASE IN MORTALITY.
Difference of Nearly Ten Per Cent
Shown by Census Records-Lverage
Life Is Longer Pneumonia Causes

The census bulletin on vital statistics
containing the preliminary statistics OF
deaths in the States and territories AMI
the principal registration cities shows
that the death rate has decreased by
nearly 10 per cent.
W. A. King, chief of the vital Stats
tics division, says
THE most important feature of the re-
suits presented is found in the decrease
in the general death rate in the registra-
ton area of Is per 1000 of population,
a decrease of nearly 10 per cent, and the
decrease in the rates from the particular
diseases to which the general decrease
is due.
1.-The effect of the advances made in
medical science and sanitation and in the
preventive and restrictive measures en-
forced by the health authorities is still
more strikingly shown in the comparative
rate for the registration cities of the
country taken together In 1890 the
death rate in 271 registration cities of
5000 or more people was q per 1000;
in 1900 the rate was 1876 per 1000 in
81 cities of 5000 population and up
ward, a reduction of "a per 1000. The
gross population of the cities compre-
hended was 14,95S,254 in 1890. and 81,
G63, 631 in 1900.
''The average age at death in 1890 was
81 years; in 1900 it was 35.2 years.
THE total number Of deaths reported
in 1900 was 1,039094; in 1890 it was
841 ,419. The increase therefore was
1871, $50, or $50 per cent. AS the per-
centage of increase in the population was
but POT, this indicates more complete
return Of deaths than in 1890.
1.-THE record of deaths upon which these
statistics are based was obtained from
two different sources-namely: the re-
turn by the enumerators of deaths re-
ported to them at the decennial enumera-
ton, and the registration of deaths re-
corded under local laws and ordinances
In the non-registration States no compa-
rison with 1890 are made"

WEATHER TIPS FOR FARMERS.

Rural Free Delivery Mail Wagons AYE
to Carry Large PIacards.
Arrangements have been made by the
postotf1ce department in Washington for
the display of weather signals from the
wagons of the rural free delivery and the
innovation will shortly go into effect.
Reports from the weather bureau Will
be forwarded to each rural free delivery
center before the departure of the carrier
on his route, and large signals in accord
ance will be displayed on the sides of the
wagon, so that all farmers along the
voute may be able TO read them at con-
siderable distance. The signals will be
carried daily, where the delivery service
is such, and on all routes of the rural de-
livery.
The time of the departure on all routes
is to be carefully noted, and the weather
report forwarded to each in ample time
for use. Where the regular time of de-
parture happens to be before the report
can reach the point the carrier will be
instructed to wait for it.

Cuban Marriages
They are now Cheap.

WAsHlsaro n, b. &. June 25.--The or
der issued by General Wood fixing 81
as the marriage fee in Cuba, whether
the ceremony be religious or civil. seems
a trivial matter in itself, but in fact II ia
a step Of great Importance. One of the
evils which led the Cuban people to re-
volt against Spanish rule was the high
cost OF marriages under the old regime.
1t was impossible for a couple to be
united according to the rules OF the
church or the laws OF the island without
incnrring an expense running all the
way from $40 to $40 or $40.
The result was that hundreds and
thousands Of poor people were forced
to dispense with the marriage ceremony
altogether and to live together BY agree.

the United States government shows
that in that leland there is a large per.
centage oi illegitima4e children by the
legal yards;iek. Bot large percentage
OF these eo-salled illegitimates are the
offspring OF good, right living people

Boss Platt'S Retirement
Quay Still a Power.

WAsHiNGToN, d. C. June 25.-Little
surprise is expressed here over the an
nouncement that Senator Piatt OF New
York will retire at the end Of his present
term, March 4, 1903. Mr.. Platt ia not
in robust health, and, it is said by his
friends, that he will not only give up his
seat IN the Senate, but retire from poll
tics altogether. For nearly twenty
years he has been the leading factor in
New York Republican politics. For ten
years he has been the undisputed boss"
Of the state. But OF late there are sieus
OF loosening grip, and that Mr.. Platt
will soon be forced, willingly or unwili-
ingig, to surrender control and cease to
reign as absolute master OF the Republi-
can party OF his state.
II is regarded here az a somewhat
curious circumstance that with this be-
ginning of the end Of Boss PIatt. Boss

dinary figure American politics ever pro-
duced. The passing -of Boss Platt will
hardly be noticed in Washington. He
has never been factor here. He has
exercised no influence whatever upon
legislation or politics, and has been in
hnentiai only in small matters OF local
appointments or in affairs pertaining
