NJ o DEPARTMENT of city is more
important to its citizens than the
department. of health. The public
health Office is as necessary to the
welfare of the community as the en-
CINE is to the ship. once allow dis
case to creep into a city and spread
without attempts to check it and that
city is doomed, not only from the
standpoint of physical well being of
its Inhabitants. but in the material
sense as wei, for health and wealth
always go hand in hand.
bulletin recently issued by the de-
partment of labor gives some inter
esting facts about the health of vari-
Gus American cities. Salt Lake is one
Of them, and it win cause a feeling
Of pride in the breast of every citi-
zen when he learns that Salt Lake
City stands well to the front of the
list. One hundred and thirty-seven
cities are named. and III of them stand
below Salt Lake in the death rate.
When it is remembered that every
time a fit of economy strikes the coun-
Gil the health department is first to
suHer, this showing is really remark
able. The departments figures are for
the year ending Dec. 81. 1901. Salt
Lakes death rate for that year was
12-17- Throughout the twelve months
the city had no crematory and there
fore no method of getting rid Of the
garbage properly. In spite of that han
dicap, the excellent showing was made.
To better appreciate local conditions
It IS necessary to know something
about the death rate in cities Of about
The same population as Salt Lake. A
few, selected at random, are: San An
tonic, Tex, psi; Duluth, Mimi, 1895;
Erie. Pa, 14.75; Elizabeth. N. J., 1855;
Wilkesbarre, Pa, 1885; Kansas city,
Kan. 1874; Portland, Ne, 1888; Nor
folk. Va, 1885; Waterbury, Conn, 1883;
Savannah, Ca, 2S1s; Charleston, S. c.,
26-54: Utica, n. Y, 1861
This gives an idea of the good work
the Salt Lake health department is
doing and The Herald cannot help feel
ing that Health officer King and those
under him are entitled to the cordial
support of all good citizens.

a Firebrand From Illinois.
Saturday Evening Post)


A hitherto unnoticed incident of the Chi
cago convention deserves publicity.
During the hours preceding the making
OF set speeches the strife for recognition
from the chairman was particularly keen
One long, lean fellow, dressed like a
Methodist preacher, was even more per-
sistent than the others. After many vain
efforts to catch the chairmans eye he
began climbing over the benches still
soliciting notice He was, perforce
recognized.
''The gentleman from Illinois has the
floor" announced the chairman, and,
with rap of his gaVel, silenced the
crowd UD marches Icabod to the front
of the platform, where stood a table with
glass and pitcher of waiter
Gentlemen of the convention" he be-
gan. L" And. he halted and reached
for the water. A'few hasty guIps and he
began again
Gentlemen of the convention, Il"
Again he lost his thought and dived mad
~ for the pitcher. The crowd was be-
coming restless, and when for the third
time he cleared his throat and began,
Gentlemen of the convention nerves
struggling for uIterance, but his tongue
would not obey him He reached for the
water, but was interrupted sadly by a
voice from the gaNery-a slow, Distress
fully sympathetic voice:
ke-him-to-the-lake."
Immediately from every bench and gal-
lery rained unsupported cups and buckets
of water. The delegate from Illinois was
literally flooded out, and for the rest of
the convention the flame of his eloquence
was effectively Quenched.

A SPECIAL DISPATCH from Beat
L tyville. KY, to the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal says:
Henry Sizemore, while passing down
the river last night from BeattyvilIe 10
Proctor. was drowned. SizemOre was
porn and reared on the river only a few
yards from where drowned but never
learned TO swim There were in the boat
several men. and the trouble that proved
so fatal arose over joke.
SizemOre. being familiar with the low
rock the boat. The other occupants paid
no attention until the boat was upturned
Sfzemore fell in a pool of deep water on
one side. while the others fell on the op-
pOsits side in low water. and the fact of
the drowning man not being able 20 swim
was overlooked until IL was too late.
His body was recovered about one hour
after the drowning Every effort was
made 10 resuscitate him, but too late.
Now where is the gentleman who
says there is no such thing as po-
etc retribution? AS a usual thing, the
fool who rocks the boat is the only
one who is saved. In this instance he
was the only one who was drowned,
which was right and proper. We hope,
but we hardly believe, his case win
be a warning to other fools with sim
liar propensities. At any rate, there
is one less boat-rocHer in the world.

AN ORGANISMS BAD BREAK"
Started to Play "The Last Rose of
Summer at a Wedding.
St. Louis GlObe-Democrat

This story has been told me OF HUI
mOrous happening in one of the big
churches of the city. The one respon-
sible as an Organist of much culture,
and all the share of gallantry ascribed
to men of the southland, from whence
he comes.
1t was at a wedding where it would
have required a conscience more elastic
than even a newspaper reporters to
write of the bride as "girlish." Never
theless, this charming woman might
easily have been described as still
handsome, if not youthful.
To the strains of a wedding march
the bride and groom had wendell their
way to the altar. And then the or
ganist's fingers strayed over the ivory
keys in soft harmonies while the cere-
mony was in progress. At first it was
evident that he was improvising, as is
the frequent way Of this skillful musi-
clan. And then-oh, horror of horrors
1t was unmistaka BILE that the strains
of Ills the Last Rose of Summer"
were being waited over the transept
and navel
A hand grasped the organist's wrist.
For goodness sakes, Professor Blank -
whispered a voice somewhere from out
the shadows of the organ loft, play
Promise Me- or anything but that
which you are playing"
But THE Last Rose of Summer con-
tinued to float out necessarily while
the organist, never pausing, glanced up
and asked deliberately, "Why?"
Never mind" said the voice, ex-
citedly, 'Tn tell you afterward"
Promptly. therefore, but reluctantly,
the player glided into the Flower
Song"
The voice ia the loft belonged to a
friend OF the organist, who, realizing
what the absent-minded player was
doing, slipped up the stairs to stop
the organist. "Old fellow" he ex-
planned afterward. ''the shoe might
have fitted, you know"
Il don't catch your meaning" said
the organist.
Well" said the friend, read the
words of the song when you get home.
I'll bet you never have
And so the orgaDist did, and found:
III not leave thee to languish
And perish alone.
All thy lovely companions
Are withered and gone.
The gallant professor drew his hand
across his brow. and dropped into the
nearest chair.
Il would not have done that for the
worldl'' he calculated.

MONEY MADNESS.

= ONE AMAZING REPORTS come
~ from Europe about the doings of
Charles NJ. schwab, president of the
United States Steel corporation, bet
ter known as the steel trust. Schwab.
ever since he acquired great wealth..
has been fond of displaying it. but
he has outdone himself on his present
tour if the dispatches tell the truth.
It is plain case of money madness.
Such cases are often found in peo
pie who suddenly acquire large for
tunes. but Schwab's career has not been
so meteoric as that of many other fast
sDenders. 1t is true that, within a
short life. be has gathered to himself
riches beyond the dreams of avarice,
but it has come to him through in
dustrial channels.
Schwab never discovered a mine, he
never patented an invention that
sprang into immediate favor, he never
struck oil or manipulated a real es-
tate boom. 1t is not likely that he
speculated to any extent until after
his wealth came to him. Therefore it
is harder to explain his present do
ings than it would be if he We're an
actual Coal Oil Johnny" But in his
Dalmiest day Coal Oil Johnny never
spent money any faster than Schwab
is spending it.
It is related that he keeps a special
train awaiting his convenience; that
suite of staterooms on a steamer is
not enough for him. He must have
the whole boat. He buys automobiles,
horses and carriages Just for the fun
of buying them. Now all this would
seem to indicate that schwab has
either gone crazy or that he never
possessed the cool, business head which
the chief of great corporation should
carry on his shoulders.
Months ago, when il was rumored
that Sehwab had resigned, a story was
current to the effect that J. Pierpont
Morgan had never wanted MIN at the
head of the steel trust. Schwab's Eu-
ropean escapades prove that Morgan's
judgment of the man was correct. IN
less he mends his ways or is cured"
it is not at all unlikely that he will
end his days in poverty and obscurlty.

a Scotch Joke.
(Philadelphia Ledger.l

College boys are incorrigible practical
jokers- A story comes to US from Scot
land OF an examiner at Edinburgh uni
versity who had made himself obnoxious
by warning the students against puttin 2
their hats on his desk. The university
in the Scottish capital is remarkable for
a scarcity of cloak rooms. and in the ex-
element Of examinations hats are, or
used to be, flung down anywhere. The
examiner announced one day that if he
found another hat on his desk he would
rip il up The next day no hats were
laid there when the students assembled
Presently, however, the examiner was
called out of the room Then some
wicked undergraduate slipped from his
seat, got the examiners own hat and
placed it on his desk. When the ex-
aminer re-entered the hail every eye was
fixed on him. He observed the hat and a
CLEAN of triumph shot across his face
Gentlemen" he said Il told you what
would happen If this occurred again"
Then he took his penknife from his
pocket, opened it and blandly cut the
hat in pieces, amidst prolonged applause
What he said when he discovered that it
was his own hat is not tellable even in
Gaelic.

A Frenehman's social Error.


A Frenehmal on his return to Paris
after weeks stay with an English com
merclai friend in London, sat down to
inseriOe a letter to thank his host for
his kind hospitality. Possessing but a
scant knowledge of the English language
II entailed some effort on his part to
frame a suitable letter. He managed
however, TO convey what he wished to saw
with considerable satisfaction to himself
II only needed the usual finishing SEN
tence, and the Frenchman was wont to
wind up his social letter with the French
phrase, May the Lord preserve YOU and
your family to al ternity."
Failing for the moment TO recall the
English definition Of the French word
meaning preserve" he sought the All
of dictionary. He there discovered
that the word meant pickle" so with
pride he concluded his rnissive with the
parting words:
May the LORD pickle you and your
family to all eternityi"
