ALL THE BOYS
REMEMEMBER GRUBB
And They Are Glad to See That
He Is Thinking of Getting
In Again.

Newark, April 26.-From away down
down in Burlington comes sprightly
young gubernatorial boom for that
prince of good fellows who parts his
name, hair and whiskers all in the middle
-E. Burd Grubb. 1t has been the habit
ever since the late Leon Albeit gave Gen-
eral e. Burd Grubb such a terrible drub-
bing at the polls in 1899, for some Republi-
cans not wholly lost to sense of grati-
tude, to trot out the general as candi-
date as regularly as the nominating con-
ventions came round But rumors of a
disastrous kind, affecting the financial
standing of the General, were thick in
those days, and his boomlets attracted
little attention one way or the other. tt
was generally accepted that the men who
were bringing him out were only trying
to repay something of the debt they owed
General Grubb, and no serious thought
was given to the matter.
7S7 The politicians are glad, however, to
remember him now when it is discovered
that all the reports about his losing his
fortune were without foundation 1t is
now well understood that he has success
fully weathered the storm of financial
disaster which threatened to engulf him
in the whirlpool of bankruptcy and is
now again in a position to play the part
of Prince Bountiful, which he so success
fully filled twelve years ago. Therefore
his boom is received with much more re-
speet than formerly and the boys are in
clined to enthuse over it, especially those
of the boys who got their fingers into that
$4,000 barrel which history says the Gen
eral poured into the campaign of 1889
The boys need not grow too enthusi-
astic over the Generals bosm. The fa-
borite son of old Burlington has learned
a thing or two while in the seclusion of
his retirement, and one of these is that
he was worked for all he was worth
when he ran for Governor. Those who
enjoy his confidence say that the things
which he says about some of the Repub-
lican leaders in some parts of the State
are refreshing and entertaining. He
knows what use was made of the thou
sands he handed up without a murmur
and he knows in whose pockets a good
deal of it stuck. If it should be that
there is anything in his boom or that
he intends to go into the rase in earnest
this year, there will be something in the
of a good SID Observation-Disclosures

Low DEATH RATE.
So Few People Died in March
That Clerk Rooney Looks
Up the Reason.

The countys mortality for the month of
March, 1901, was is $40 deaths for every
1000 of population. This is remarkably
low, as the average rate for the same
month since 1888 when the County Board
of Health began to issue monthly re-
ports was "a BIO. The falling off in the
death rate is large due to the decrease of
mortality from acute lung diseases and
from. diseases of the. zymotic or prevent
able class
Prompted by this surprising showing
for the last month Clerk c. ]. Rooney Of
the County Health Board, has compiled
statistics of the death rate in Jersey
CiLy since 1888. Jersey City contains over
half the population of the entire county,
county's death rate
1t was found BY this compilation that
the highes. rates existed from to 1897 and
the lowest since and including that year,
For example, in the eight years before
1887 the average death rate was ESQ per
10, 900 persons living. Since that time it has
been but 1856 per 10000 persons Diseases
of the zymotic class prior to 1897 caused
death rate of so per 10000 persons and
since that year it has been but "a per
10000. Prior to 1887, seven persons Ia
every 10000 died of typhoid fever, since
then the average has been but 2A per
10000.
The following table showing the aver
age number of deaths per 10000 of popu-
lation in the years prior to 1897 COM
