or the war with Spain, compared with

10000 killed by disease, $4,000 dead
from other causes-a grand total Of
304, 900, about one in nine Of every
man who wore the uniform.
In no other war in all time has such
respect been paid to the dead. Imme-
diately after its close the secretary of
war was directed by congress "to Sc
cure suitable burial places, and to have
these grounds enclosed, so that the rest
ing places Of the honored dead may be
kept sacred forever" In 70 separate
and distinct national cemeteries the
bodies Of nearly 3OO0OO soldiers who
died during the Civil war are inferred,
and the decoration Of their graves with
flowers on a fixed day has become a
national custom. Some Of the GENE.
teries contain each a silent army OF
over 10000 soldiers, in serried ranks
marked by the white headstones, on
nearly half of which is inscribed "un.
known" The world may be searched
in vain for anything similar or kindred;
there is no other such impressive sight.

hill said he guessed they were after
making monkey Of him and declined.
! He tells his friends that he knows that
he is no speaker. He asserts that if
, the mayors only duty were to use Ian
guage he would resign the office.
It is true that no one within the
sound Of Denis Mulvihill's voice would
have any doubt of his Irish birth; there
has never been any effort on his part
to attain polish or elegance in his pub
lie utterances. On the other hand it is
also true that he has never been given
to filling his mouth with strings Of
words which he did not understand but
hoped somebody else would, like the
eminent Alderman Bridges of Brook
lyn.
1t was queer canvass. Mulvihill
stayed in the factory fire room until
the Saturday before election day. Then
he gave up his job.
ut was no use," he told Sun re-
porter yesterday, II couldn't do my
work right with SO many coming in to

ing on and promising to vote for me
and telling me how they had never
voted the Democratic ticket before in
tl.eir lives. might as well have tried
to do my work standing on my head.
So 1 went home"
One argument that was used against
the Mulvihill candidacy was that man
who had not enough ambition to rise
above the place Of stoker in % years Of
service was not fit for public office.
This still CRATES on his honor.
"They always paid me right" he
says, "and my work was always right.
If the engineer was late in getting to
his work, started the engine. was

the superintendent, and told him
thought I had been long enough in one
place and when there was vacancy
above me 1 wanted it. He said was
right and I ought to have had place
higher up long ago."
The mayors salary is $4,000, four
times the years wages Of Denis Mulvi-
hill as stoker. Mayor Mulvihill cannot

I, relate to the expenditure Of money. He
has always been known as quick and
accurate handler of figures. His ability

his fellow workmen. Beyond economic
al disbursement his plans are rather

}, simply:
"I want everybody to know that

ties have taken ukon me-"
i Then he swings back and forth and
! thoughtfully regards the telephone on
his desk, as though he wishes It could
talk. He said today that he was going
to cut down some high salaries, IL posi-
bic, and see that more poor men were

o'clock. Ie said that he would take
two years off. Then they began worry
ing him to run for mayor. He declined
to let his name go before the Democrat
ic convention until somebody suggested
that lie needed vindication from his
own party.
AIulvihill was told that If the Tenth
district went into the convention in.
structed for him it would silence any
unkind reports that he had been turned
down for wanting to know too much.
Then he consented to run. The subse-
quent events are now food for painful
reflection by some folks who, until Nov.
5, thought that they knew something
about Bridgeport politics.
Mayor Sterling, whom the Republic
ans had decided to renom,nate, had
stirred up criticism in the independent
wing Of his own party. No breath Of
scandal touched his administration, but
it was said that the 'Hartford people
made an easy mark of him. whatever
that may mean in Connecticut politics.
1t was said by the mayors critics that
the circle of his advisers was somewhat
too restricted. He had been elected by
comfortable majority Of 11,000 two
years ago, and it was felt that that
majority was likely to be diminished
this year unless the Democrats nomi-
mated weak candidate.
The most pervasive form Of munich
pal patronage in Bridgeport is the street
cleaning department. The foremen in
the department are Republicans, though
many Of the laborers are Democrats.
1t was whispered abroad during the
campaign that the Republican man.
ayers had worked upon the Republican
street cleaning foremen to influence the
Democrats under them to shout for Null
vihill in the Democratic primaries. This
story is now gravely denied by Repub-
licans who should be well Informed as
to what went on at that time. But the
convention into which Denis Mulvihill
was to go for vindication went off Its
feet and nominated him in storm OF
cheers.
The other side hugged itself for JOY
The Republican organ had humorous
editorial about the candidacy Of "Rug'
ged Honesty" The words were snapped
up as the Mulvihill slogan. Ex-Mayo,
Taylor and ex-Mayor Vessels, another
Republican, and their followers lined
up under the Rugged Honesty" stand
ard. The grating of the landslide was
heard in the air. The tribe of Sterling
roared in it's agony. They said that
Mulvihill was a blatherskite.
They said that in council meetings hi
always turned toward the seats of thu
spectators at the back Of the chamber
and never toward the mayor, to whom
as presiding officer, courtesy was due
AIulvihill replied that he had never ris
en- to speak in the last two years bu
| that the faces of the mayor, city clerl
and their colleagues were turned away
from him until he sat down, whereai
in the public seats he always found en-
couragement and attention.
"When I saw pleasant faces befor'
me, why shouldn't be after speaking
to them, and not to those whose faces
l couldn't see? asked the Democratic
candidate.

HEALTH OF THE CONVICTS
DR.. Charles Y. Darlington, the surgeon,
has these remarks TO make in his in
teresting report:
IAN analysis of the several tables shows
the following important facts: That
throughout the year there has been al
most entire immunity from dangerous
diseases of a contagious nature; that the
death rate of the prison has been re-
niarkaliy low, and that the end of the
year finds the prisoners-all things con-
iidered-n an excellent health condition.
The number of days lost by excuses on
the part Of the men has been leSsened by
about Z per cent. while, in the case OF
women, the numbers have increased
nearly 100 per cent over last year. Table
Z exralins much of this increased rate.
A good deal has been done, internally and
externally, throughout the year, to I'M
prove the condition of the prison. It is
hoped that the proper legislation will be
enacted to do away With the uncivilized
system of bucket sewage" as we'll as
the other horrors that exist in the prison.
L wish TO express my appreciation to
he officials of the institution for their
invarying courtesy and. promptness i'll
Intending to every request made by me
for the needs of the medical department.
4 word III conclusion by way of apprc-
iation of the able supervision of Mrs.
Page the excellent matron of the wo-
mems department. All in ALL the outlook
for the coming year is manifestly better
from the health standpoint than that
which existed last year
The following is from DR.. Turmon's
report as to health at the farm:
The general health of the men has
l'een very good as regards acute diseases;
certainly there has not been more sick
ness on the farm from acute troubles
than in the same number of citizens in
he surrounding country. When the de-
bilitated and hopeless condition of many
