The failure of several of the munici-

joint sewer to tidewater, to publish
notice of intention to pass the sewer
ordinance, says the Orange Chronicle
has made illegal the action of those
municipalities up to the present time
and unless a bill to be introduced
in the Legislature, repeating the pro-
vision of the sewer act requiring such
notification, is made law, the whole
matter must be gone over again and
the ordinance re-advertised.

Abraham Lincoln, the ideal Ameri-
can, an ideal that centuries will
not be able to supplant with a
better.
He was heroic to the death point
He was gentle to womanliness and
patient as mother.
He was politician in the high sense,
wise and skillful.
He was an American, needing no oath
to prove it.
He is. though dead, more potential
today than any living statesman
and he will be so centuries hence,
when those who lived in his time
will be forgotten.

Adolph Meiser and John Slattery,
two young men from Crystal Falls,
Mich, who were hunting partridges
on the headwaters Of the Deer river,
about IL miles from that city, met
what they assert WAS wild man. His
hair was long and shaggy and long
whiskers nearly covered his face. show
ing that they had been growing for
some time. The hunters got within 80
feet Of the man before they saw him

when the stranger Inarled at them.

gave terrible yell and darted into the
bushes. He ran like deer, bounding
over the windfalls and stumps.
The strange man was large, but had
become emaciated from exposure and
hunger. The clothes he lad on were
in shreds exposing his body to view. He
carried part of gun barrel and tent
pole in his hands and when found was
eating the carcass Of dead skunk.
The Crystal Falls men hurried to
town and reported the discovery, and

TIE MOST HEALTHFUL CITY
Marion, Ia. Given This Distinction
by the United states Marine
Hospital Service.

The most healthful place in ths
United States to live is Marion, Ia,
according TO reports received by the
marine hospital service from l. 100 cit
les and towns having a population Of
1000 or over. There may have been
a more healthful place than Marion,
but II so no official returns were re-
ceiyed from it. Marion has a popula-
tion of 4,l02, and there were only six
deaths in 1900, making a death rate of
the phenominally low figure OF LAC per
1000.
The average OF the death rate in all
the cities and towns was l7.47.
1t appears from the compilation OF
the marine hospital service that the
state having the best record for health
last year was North Dakota. with a
death rate of only Cos per 1000 of pop
ulation. By far the most healthful OF
the populous statea, however, va.
Iowa, the death rate being I'LL.
Ohio, which made reports from
towns aggregating population Of
more than 500, 900 shows 4 death rate
OF only l4.S4.
Ths notable reports Of fhealthfulness
come from the northwe@t and central
western states. Minnesota, the Da.
kotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Idaho
and Montana all have exceedingly low
death rates. On the other hand. the
states which are widely known Is
health resorts, such as Arizona, Colo.
RADIO and California. have a compare
lively high mortality, probably because
many persons suffering from incur
able pulmonary troubles 60 there and
die.
California last year had an average
death rate Of 1888; Colorado. IS. .2s, and
Arizona, 3s2s. The last named state
had the highest rate Of mortality Of
any state or territory in the union.
New York states mortality was 1898
The town in the United States hav-
ing the highest rate Of mortality last
year was Carlyle, III. The population
was 1874, and the number Of deaths,
100, making death rate of 53.3l. The
most unhealthful Of the large cities
was Washington, with a death rate of
2l.7i. Baltimore's death rate wns 2l .02;
Philadelphia, 1898; Boston. 2o.S2. and

CRISIS IN GERMANY.
Now Going Through Saddest Eco
nomic Experience In Its History.
well-Gro1nded Pride Of Her BOsinsss
Men in Her Reputation for Con-
nsrcial Honor Has Su3sRsA
Through Dsssracsful FSaaaa-

Germany 10 undoubtedly going
through its saddest economic ex-
perience since the empire was found
ed, says the Berlin correspondent OF
the New York Journal Of Commerce.
The well-grounded pride with which
German business men have hitherto
contemplated their excellent rsputs-
ton abroad for commercial honor has
tuffered . most severe blow. The
Frankfurter Zeitung admits in re-
cent market review that in no sim
liar period OF business depression in
Germany have so many cases OF dis
graceful frauds and common swind-
ling" been exposed. However. It Is
felt here that the sensational char
acter OF many Of the disasters Of the
past year have given foreign observ-
ers an exaggerated impression OF the
state of things prevailing in Ger
many; not only that these disasters
have created a false view as to the
average Of German business integri-
~. but that they have magnified un-
duly the proportions Of the German
crisis as seen from abroad. II is
pointed out that Germany has q total
Of about $500 joint stock companies,
and that the number Of companies
that have failed or gotten into tinan-
cial difficulties constitute but a slight
proportion of the whole. Still the
boursc views the situation very pes
simistically. Besides the many un-
favorable factors In the situation
itself, additional uncertainty comes
from the tariff agitation. Business
men do not know what will be their
condition under the new tariff law
which goes into effect January, 1904.
The great crisis in the German iron
industry, for example. is chiefly due
to the fact that all consumers of
pig iron committed the vast folly at
the height OF the boom OF placing
contracts for iron for several years
in advance, and at the high prices
then prevailing. Many OF the capi-
talists that have recently gotten
themselves into 6nancial difficulties
brought on these difficulties by ex-
cessive expansion.
After the present crisis is over an
interesting chapter can De written
upon the intimate relations OF the
German banks with industrial capi-
talists. The jaunty confidence with
which all foreign criticisms Of the
system was dismissed here up to a
year ago has certainly given place
to q more reticent attitude among
hnanciers, and they are now much
more willing to admit the dangers Of
the system.
