DEATH RATE
IS INCREASED
Health Conditions of Havana
Greatly Improved During
Past Year.

Washington, Nov. "A statement
concerning the vital statistics of the
city of Havana, for the month Of Sep
tember, 1901, compiled from official re-
port on file on the division Of insular
affairs of the War Department, shows
that the health conditions were decid-
edly the best attained in any month.
The least number Of deaths occurring
in any previous September since 1889
was 496 in 1899, the greatest number
2,367 in 1898, average S77. For Sep
tember, 1901, there were 339 deaths.
The least number of deaths occurring
in any one preceding month during the
last eleven years was in February, 1901,
when there were 408 deaths; lowest
death rate for September fn the years
referred to was in 1899, when the death
rate was "a 4S per thousand. For Sep
tember, 1901, the death rate was 1854
per thousand.
Taking the yellow fever year as COM
mencing April 1, the record of the past
eleven years shows that, for the six
months up to the 1st of October, the
smallest number of deaths from this
disease occurred in 1899, when there
were Sc deaths; the greatest number in
1897, when there were $50 deaths; aver
age, 296 deaths. This year, during the
same period, there were only five
deaths.
Since the 1st of March 100 men have
been engaged daily in killing mos
quitoes in every known way, and the
result is stated to be that instead of
having 50 deaths from yellow fever and
32 from malarial fever, the average In
September, there were deaths from
yellow fever and IL from malarial fever
the past September. No smallpox has
occurred in a year, and there were
scarcely any cases of other infectious
diseases.

NUMBER 80.

The colonel turned and took up his
paper. Don't forget" he commanded.
Il shall expect you to tell me-" And
the interview was ended.
There were wild rumors afioat among
the negroes as to the punishment Uncle
Eph was TO receive for running away,
but Uncle Eph himself maintained a
dignified silence. He sedately drove
the colonel and his wife to church and
through the country lanes to the houses
where they attended the big dinners
and teas. The subject was never again
mentioned by the two old playmates.
The year passed by and Indian sum-
mer again threw her shimmering blue
mantle over the distant mountains, and
the leaves became golden and red and
brown. One night the colonel sat late
at his study table. He was writing to
his lawyer. He was tired and somehow
it seemed a task to him tonight Sud-
denly he heard soft footsteps in the
hall.
Who could it be? His wife had re-
| tired and Rob. the only son at home,
had gone with his young wife to a
country ball and would not be home for
hours. The door was gently pushed
| open, and there appeared the woolly
head and ebony face of Uncle Eph.
| "I'ze ready, sah,' he said in sepul-
chral whisper.
| Ready" inquired the colonel in
amazement For moment he had for
gotten the compact of year ago, but
| only for a moment. He pushed aside
the tedious letter and looked up at Eph
expectantly. Yes. we's ready, san," :"
said Eph again. ITS mighty fine
night, sab. I'ze got de guns, sab, an
some meal an coffee an bacon, an I
lay we ken be right smaht ways of
by mawnin' il we step lively, Marse
rhil."
YES" said the colonel, and he step
ped out on the yeranda. How beauti-
I full everything looked in the moonlight!
The balmy October air of the south
was like caress. The woods seemed
to beckon them. Philip Randolph, the
boy, could not Withstand the tempta-
ton. Grasping his hat, he looked at
Eph, as he had done years before, when
he waited for him to tell him when to
shoot.
Eph looked back at him, picked up a
sack that was lying on the steps, then
took up the guns.
"De Parker woods is mighty 'ticin',
sah," he said.
YES" repeated the colonel and fol-
lowed him down the avenue. A few
moments later and their figures were
lest to view in the dense shade Of the
woods.
Both the colonel and Eph had run
laway.-New York Times.

When England WAS being made into
mincemeat and blocks of real estate
by the SaXons and Danes, silver and
brass were in use as currency, but the
Normans subsequently installed the
ariStocratic metal and left the demo-
cratic brass To take care of itself.
Gold was first coined hy Henry Ill.
and copper made into British coin in
1872. Tin was used for coinage in
1850. and the national farthing was
made of this Camhrian product, with a
stud of copper set in the center. In
1000 and 1861 tin halfpence were is
sued in considerable quantities. The
only pure gold coins issued in Eng

skunk. of tn. een.. chinc..

The skunk first appears in history ia
the year 1886, when he was described
In Theodat's History of Canada" He
had been a long time on the earth BE-
fore that time, however, for there are
species of fossil skunks. The skunks of
the genus Chinca range over the great
er part of North America and as far
south as Mexico. Other skunks are
found in Central and South America.
They live in burrows either of other
animals or made by themselves. Their
habits are chiefly nocturnal and they
hibernate only in the severest part Of
the winter. Their food consists Of
small animals, of insects and birds
eggs. Grasshoppers are eaten by hum
dreds They have been trapped for
their fur for many years.
The young are born in litters of four
to ten. The adults occasionally rob
the poultry yard, but such depreda-
tions as they commit are more than off,
set by their destruction Of noxious ami
mails and insects, especially the white
grub, the pest of lawns and meadows.
They are easily trapped in box traps
and can be killed by putting them, trap
and all, in trough of water.

NERVES..

The modern malady of love is nerves.
Love. once a simple madness, now observes
The stages Of his passionate disease
And is twice sorrowful, because he sees.
Inch by inch entering. the fatal knife.
o health of simple minds, give me your life
And let me. for one midnight, cease TO hear
The clock forever ticking in my ear,
The clock that tells the minutes in my brain!
1t is not love nor loves despair. this pain
That shoots a witless, keener pang
The simple agony OF love and loss.
Nerves, nervcsl oh. folly Of child who Dream
OF heaven and. waking in the darkness. screams

Widespread Ignorance About Clocks
There is good deal of popular ig-
norance ON the subject Of managing
watches and clocks. Many people
manage never to have the right time
and expend good deal Of money on
repairs of their timepieces that could
be saved by rudimentary instruction.
Pendulum clocks are especially liable
to give much trouble to the careless or
the ignorant, or to those who will not
take the trouble to learn how to use
them properly. There are many costly
pendulum clocks that never tell the
time, because the owners have given
them up in despair. although there
may lie nothing the matter with the
clocks except that they are not level or
that the delicate pendulum has got dis
arranged by some ignorant twist.

A NICE PICKUP.

Word reached Duluth yesterday,
but could not be confirmed last
night. that Hulett Merritt, of Passa.
dena, CAL, has sold 10000 shares of
Lake Superior Consolidated Iron
Mines. It is said that he and his
father, Louis Merritt, hold between
10000 and 1900 shares of this stock,
which they acquired about nine
years ago. The value OF 10000 shares
of this stock, on basis of yester-
days close, is $1,7l0,OOO, or $171 per
share. The par value of the 10000
shares is ST. 100000. This is clean
up that recalls the golden tales Of
the Klondike. The stock has earn
ed nearly 81 100000 in the past four
or five weeks.
Hulett Merritt has turned his at
tention during the past five or six
years more to regular business mat
ters than to mining propositions.
He is said to have extensive inter-
ests in California, and he is at the
head of the Itasca Mercantile com.
pany, which does a large business
in northern Minnesota, with stores
carrying general stocks at Grand
Rapids, Hibbing and Mountain

withH Hello, o O'Brien, what are you

opeds the. fact that Anderson has

and Sullivan, eth or of which patro-
'ny1nlcs, considering that he was

timeago he was sentenced to the
retormatory at St. Cloud and. break

BILE that the fact of his previous

fifteen years.

The surface about the mines pre-.
sents very busy appearance. The
Chandler, Pioneer, Zenith and Sa-
voy stockpiles are of large dimen-
sions and are constantly growing.
The Chandler sawmill is busy get
ting out much square timber and
lumber and large stock of logs,
put in this winter, yet remains to
be cut. The Pioneer has greatly
enlarged its etockpi1e room, = and
four dumps are employed. The
steam shovel is being remodeled
pending the opening of navi. alton.
The Zenith shovel is also being re.
modelled. The larger part of work
at this mine is in the underground
line.-Ely Miner.

MEETING POSTPONED.

A Cleveland dispatch of the 9th
announces that the meeting of the
iron ore producers, which was to
have taken place on Wednesday for
the purpose of fixing the price of
iron ore for the coming season, has
been postponed. tits said the meet
ing will probably be held next week
although no date has been decided
upon as yet.
1t is understood the postponement
is owing to the fact that the United
States steel corporation, now an i'm.
portant factor in the mining of ore,
is not ready to place a price on the
output of it's mines for the season.

NEW MICHIGAN ORE FlELDS.

A farmer WHO owns land between
the 500 line and the lake in the
vicinity of Isabelle, Scnoolcraft
county, has discovered a large body
OF iron ore. He has done a little
work and he has found that the
ore lies just below the grass roots
and that the deposit is at least ten
feet in depth. He has sent SAM pies
to the Gladstone and Manistique
furnaces which assayed 63A per
cent in metallic iron. The deposit
is easy of access, being only one
fourth of mile from the 500 line
and near Lake Michig gan. There
are many indications of mineral
wealth in Schoolcraft county, and
many people believe that, when it's
timber resources are exhausted.
valuable finds may be made.

DEPUTY GAME WARDEN SMITH,.

OnsThursday evening last H. F.
Smith received his commission ae
deputy game warden for this eec-
tion, and it gives The Enterprise
pleasure to state that the honor ie
well bestowed. Since the opening
of the Mesaba, which in it's early
days was one of the most noted
game regions of the state, this Sec
ton has practically been at the
mercy of,pot hunters and unscrup-
ulous sportsmen, who have de-
spoiled our forests and streams,
until today there is little incentive
for field or rod sport. Mr.. Smith, in
accepting the position, says it will
be his aim to effectua1ly stop the
practices which have led to this re-
suit and those acquainted with
him will not question his integrity
of purpose. We believe he is the
right man in the right place.
