Less Beef; Fewer Deaths.

Is the beef trust to be thanked for
lowering the death-rate, this year
This interesting question suggests it.
self upon reading bulletin of the
Massachusetts Board Of Health which
has just been issued. AS result OF
the high prices of beef and other
meats which have prevailed since last
spring much less beef has been con-
sumed In that state. as elsewhere, dur
ing the summer. The health statistics
of the Bay State show that for this
period there has been a marked de-
crease in the death-rate over previous
years. Is this only a coincidence, or
Is there direct connection between
the smaller consumption of beef and
the smaller number of deaths? 1t is
highly probable that the cool summer
is to be thanked in part for the lower
death-rate in the cities, but many, par
ticularly all vegetarians, will vigorous
ly contend that the smaller amount OF
meat eaten has had much to do with
the falling off of the undertakers' bust
ness
Anyway it is of interest to glance at
the summer returns from the Massa-
chusetts cities. 1t will be interesting
to see If the same conditions hold in
the other cities of New England and
of the North generally. Worcester re-
veals a Is per cent. Improvement in
public health. For the five weeks end
ing with the last week of Sept, there
were 1876 deaths in that city. For the
corresponding period in 1901 there
were 149 deaths. a Is per cent. de-
crease. Brockton jumped her per-
centage of decrease in deaths up to 81
per cent the number of deaths falling
for five weeks in August and Septem-
Der of this year from "a to 81. In
Salem city the death-rate for a similar
period has dropped from 60 to SO, or a
II per cent. decrease. Quincy is an
other city to show the remarkable
health conditions which surround us
since beef eating went out of style. and
there deaths have decreased IS per

INSULTING a Dead Officers Memory

Those little American newspapers
which proclaimed with much gusto
that the recent suicide of Lieutenant
Morris of the navy was caused by the
knowledge that the destruction of the
Maine. of which he was electrical en-
gineer." was caused by an internal,
not an external. explosion. are now
silenced by the statement of Com
an officer on the Maine when it blew
up. He states that Lieutenant Morris
was not the electrical engineer of the
Maine that there were no wires for
lighting or other purposes running
through the magazines of the lost ves-
sci. and that Admiral Simpsons court
of inquiry thoroughly Investigated the
possibility of electrical wires having
been the cause of the accident. and
found that such a cause was absolutely
impossible.
Over and over again il has been
shown that the theory of the internal
explosion of the Maine is preposterous.
The bottom plates driven inward and
upward showed conclusively what
caused the loss of the ship and her
crew. The exact agency which caused
that explosion may never be known,
but that it was Spanish is no more to
be doubted than it is that Spanish
power is now ended in Cuba. Still
some papers which hate the navy and
hate the administration of Mckinley
and Roosevelt will probably continue
TO throw out their dark hints that the
Maine was blown up from the inside by
the direct act or carelessness of some
officer, and to slur the work of the
court of inquiry. Such malignity and
Misrepresentation disgrace American
Journalism. The insults to the MEM
ory of Lieutenant Morris are the limi,
OF anti-navy vindictiveness.

The committee on a city charter, APP
pointed by the Bar Harbor board of
trade. has been at work obtaining let
ters from prominent men in the small
er cities and larger towns of the State
and received many diverse answers and
varied views. 1t seems as though the
sentiment in town is greatly divided
and the present indications are that
any attempt to obtain city charter
will meet with determined opposition,
although the arguments in favor of a
civic form of government may serve
to weaken the opposition when meet
ing is held for the purpose of discuss
ing the plan and getting at the public
sentiment. There does not appear to
be any particular body of men who are
pushing the plan of a city government.
The conditions at Bar HarbOr are GER
tainly peculiar and the attempt to do
away with the three days town meet
ing by means of the appointment of a
general committee has not proved a
glowing success.
