Length of Life.


Even q chronic pessimist ought to
find something to be cheerful about
in the recent census bulletin on the
mortality statistics of the United
States for the decade ending in 1900,
says Leslie's Weekly. The bulletin
shows that the advances made in med
ical science and sanitation and In
preventive and restrictive measures
enforced by the health authorities
have had striking effect upon the COM
parative death rate for the cities OF
this country where system OF regis
tration Is in force.
In 1890 the death rate in 271 cities
Of 5000 or more population was Il
per 1000; in 1900 the rate was 1875
in 361 cities of 5000 population and
upward-a reduction Of "a per 1000.
Another statement Of special interest
and significance just now is that the
deaths reported as due to consumption,
including general tuberculosis, de-
creased from 245.9 per 100000 Of popu-
lation in 1890 to 1905 in 1904 very
large reduction, due, the census au-
thorities believe, to the better knowl-
edge Of the disease and the measures
adopted for its prevention.

SALT LAKE HAS A CANDIDATE
Rumored L. e. Calvin f. to Succeed
Dickinson as General Manager
of Union Pacific.

A telegraphic communication from Salt
Lake City was received in Omaha last
night saying Il was reported in Salt Lake
that e. z. Calvin. general superintendent
of the Oregon Short Line, is to be appointed
general manager of the Union Pacific, to
succeed Edward Dickinson. The report
could not be- confirmed in Omaha. Presi-
dent Burt was out OF the city and his sec
rotary, T. NJ. Orr, said the matter was newe
to him.
II have never heard Mr.. Calvin's name
mentioned in that connection before said
Mr.. Orr.
The Salt Lake communication suggested
that Mr.. Calvin WIS in Omaha last night,
but he could not be found. nor could any
one who had heard of his being here.
1t is still impossible to obtain any tangi-
BILE idea as to Mr.. Dickinson's successor.
President Burt refuses to be interviewed
upon the subject and his rigid example has
naturally sealed the lips OF other Union
Pacific ~oficials. 1t is thought the president
is out Of the city now on matters relating
to his appointment.
While many believe that If Mr.. Burt
makes the appointment, which it is his
natural function to do, Chief Engineer J.
B. Berry will be the man. One who claims
the right to an opinion says no present oc-
cupant Of the headquarters building will be
named.

QUERY OVER BONFIRE
Woman Loses Valuable Skirt and Husband
Seeks Responsible Party.
ATTORNEY SAYS CITY is NOT LIABLE
object Lesson of the Danger of Per.
hitting the Burning of Leaves
and Rubbish in the Pub
lie streets.

Mrs. J. N. Bryan, who lives at 222s Pierce
street. yesterday lost a fine. new $50
dress skirt, and as a result her husband has
presented an interesting little conundrum
for some legal expert to solve, involving
the responsibility for damages arising from
failure or neglect in the enforcement OF an
ordinance.
Mrs. Bryan walked half a dozen blocks or
more with her dress on fire and still came
OF a conditional conquerer. She was pass
ing down ST. Mary's avenue and had reached
a point in front Of 2OO7, the residence Of
Charles A. Sweet. when she encountered
the smoke OF a nre which was consuming
leaves and other trash in the street. The
smoke was just like any other smoke-not
very pleasant to inhale. but Mrs. Bryan
merely increased her gait and thought little
OF this. But she had gone only a few feet
when she found that the wind had carried
some Of the burning leaves over on the
sidewalk and that her skirt had caught Ip
a few Of these burning particles. She
struck the leaves from her dress, suppos-
eddy, and proceeded.
Mrs. Bryan was crossing the street at
Sixteenth and jackson, when a liveryman
called to her that her dress was on fire.
Tho second time the woman had to brush
fire of hor. Thinking she had removed the
last vestige Of the burning substance, Mrs.
Bryan started on her way once more. She
went to the office Of DR.. Capell at Sixteenth
and Howard and there her attention was
again called to her dress, which by this
time had begun TO blaze. Much frightened,
Mrs. Bryan smothered the FIRE. only after a
great effort, however, and only after, as she
says, the fire had ruined her s65 skirt.
who Pays the Damage.
Fortunately Mrs. Bryan sustained no NOR
tai injuries from the FIRE which remained
in her dress all this time, although she
stood in very good way to. But the question
which MIR. Bryan now asks Is:
who is responsible for the loss Of Mrs.
Bryan's skirt? Is the city, on whose stat
ute books there is a law against bonfres on
public thoroughbred"
City Attorney Connell says the city is
not responsible, for the reason that II had
been e~xerting every effort to enforce this
ordinance.
Some time ago the Board Of Public Works
requested Chief OF Police Donahue to ex-
ercise special precaution against the vio-
lation Of this ordinance prohibiting the
building OF fires in streets and thereupon
the chief sent special instructions to all
his men urging them to stop this nuisance
and violation Of law IL possible. And the
men charged with this responsibility insist
that every consistent effort has been made
to carry out the chiefs orders and those
Of the board, but in spite OF these dill
gent efforts fires seem to blaze up every
now and then in the middle Of the streets.

Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food

A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent. guides to follow in matters
of diet and a mixed diet OF grains. fruits
and meats is undoubtedly the best.
