DEATH RATE IS LOW.
Vast Improvement Reported in the
Health Of Manila.
Medical Omcers Of the Army Are
Proud Of the Work They Have
Done for the People of the
Philippine Islands.

Surgeon General O'Reily has received
an interesting report from the medical
officers in the Philippines, showing es-
pecially steady decrease in the death
rate of the city of Manila as a result of
the operations Of the medical officers OF
the regular and volunteer army sincethe
establishment of the board of health un-
der their direction in 1900. The san
itaPy improvement which has been
brought about is shown by comparative
statements of the death rate of Ma
nila for the last quarter of the past
four years, figured for each month on q
basis of deaths occurring in each 1000
population for one year. It appears
from these figures that the annual death
list for the first quarter was as follows:
1900, 1880; 1901, 1919; 1902, 1888; 1903,
22.17. These figures show that so far
during the present year the Manila
death rate Is less than half what it was
for the same period four years ago; and
also that, based on present estimates
Of population, the number of lives
which may be expected to be saved in
1903 judging from the three months
already past, as compared with the year
1900, will amount to no less than 7,442.
Assistant Surgeon Munson says that
the improvement in the conditions this
year has been accomplished in spite Of
the fact that the Asiatic cholera and
bubonic plague had both previously
gained a foothold in the islands, and
that the existence Of a largely unvac-
cinated population in the provinces
meant a constant introduction into the
city Of the Infection of smallpox. Cases
Of plague, cholera and smallpox have
occurred in Manila during the present

nine days, when the funeral proper
takes place. The next step is the Sc
lection of new pope. He is chosen by
the conclave, a body or committee COM
posed of cardinals and other high
church dignities.
They occupy special quarters In the
vatican, isolated from the rest of the
building and from the outer world by
the walling up Of every door and win
dow and aperture. Each cardinal has
a separate room, which is drawn by lot.
With their servants they muster about
200 souls. All these men are sworn to
secrecy. While the gathering lasts they
are forbidden all intercourse with the
outside world. They even cook their
own food in a common kitchen.
One of the first duties is to choose
three scrutators to count the ballots.
The canons really define three kinds OF
election-by inspiration, by compro-
mise and by ballot. Election by in
spiration takes place when "all the car

service. He was for time military at
tache at Vienna, and afterward Servian
minister at Cettinje. When his SIS
ter-in-law became queen he began to
feel the effects of his quarrel with her.
He lost all his appointments and fell
into disgrace.
In revenge he seems to have
used his influence to inflame his
brother officers against the king and
queen, and when the conspiracy against
them was organized he was the chief
mover. His activity was not confined
to organizing the plot. All accounts Of
the tragedy agree in stating that he &C
tually led the band of assassins and
helped to slash and pistol the king and
queen to death. According to one &C.
count he objected to the. throwing OF
the dead bodies out Of the windows Of
the palace, on the ground that it was
needless barbarity." The remark Is
characteristic of the man.
Col. Maschin is now minister OF pub
lie works in the Servian cabinet, and
has been advanced considerably in the
military service, when all the regicides

inches long and three inches broad. In
the first or upper section the cardinal
writes his name; in the middle, the name
of the candidate whom he proposes; in
the lower section, some motto from the
Scriptures. Two ballots are taken
daily, in the morning and afternoon,
until some candidate receives the reQui-
site two-thirds vote of the members
present. The duration. of the conclave
depends on many considerations-per-
sonal ambition, political intrigues and
factional jealousies. That Of 1900 last
ed 104 days; that of 1878, when Leo was
selected, only three days.
The moment the decision Is declared
the lucky cardinal dons the papal robes,
the masons tear down the plaster wall
before one of the balconies from which
the cardinal dean proclaims the selec-
ton to the expectant throng beneath.
Then comes the coronation cere-
mony. 1t takes place in the morning,
commencing with procession, headed
by the Swiss guards, and ending by
the new pope, wearing golden mttre,
carried aloft on the sedia gestatoria,
with a silver damask canopy borne
above his head, flanked by the flabell1
(the great fans of ostrich and peacock
feathers), the whole surrounded by no
bic guards with drawn swords.
AS the pope enters St. Peters, or the
Chapel Sistine, in the vatican, where
the coronation takes place, as the chofce
remains with the pope, he is stopped
three times by one Of the clerks of
the chapel, who, kneeling, sets fire
to some fax on the point OF a three
pronged stick, exclaiming, in loud and
mournful voice: Holy father, thus
passes away the glory of the world
Having descended from the sedia ges-
tatoria, the pope proceeds to the altar,
and, after brief prayer, commences the
introit of the mass, which, on this &C.
casion, is celebrated by himself. At
the end Of the confession he takes his
place on the throne on the LETT side
of the altar, while the FIRST cardinal
bishop recites the three customary
prayers over him. Then the pope re-
turns 10 Ln0 dlLdI, hucclS III IAO oICP,
and while the first cardinal deacon re-
moves his gold mitre, the second CAROL
nal deacon invests him with the ponti-
lical pallium.
The most interesting part Of the whole
proceedings, probably, is the placing OF
the tiara upon the pope's head by the
first cardinal deacon. 1t weighs three
pounds, and is adorned with no fewer
than $4,000 precious stones, Of which
$4,000 are diamonds.
AS the deacon places the crown upon
the supreme pontiff's head, he exclaims:
'Take this tiara, adorned with three
crowns, and know that thou art the IA
Their of all princes and sovereigns, the
ruler of the globe, and on earth the vice.
regent of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, ia
whom all honor and glory for ever and
ever, amen" The pope then rises, and
wearing the tiara, delivers q benedic-
ton, which completes the ceremony OF
coronation.

Four bears that went over the noun

their hides were packed out, but their
carcasses were fed to John COTS pack
Of hounds, after the hunters had feast
ed on juicy steak.
Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Thockmorton, says
the Denver Post, went to Meeker and en-
gagged the services of John Golf, the
guide Of President Roosevelt, when he
hunted in Colorado two years ago last
winter. With Golf and his noted dogs
they hunted the country between the
White and Bear rivers for ten days.
One morning the dogs trailed and cap
tured a porcupine, and the sportsmen
spent two hours picking quilts from tho
dogs after the fight.
On the last day of the. hunt the party
followed the dogs on bear trail for
about two hours, and were about to give
up when they heard yelping in the
distance. and knew that something was
doins in the bear line. Mr.. Throckmor-
ton was skirting along the edge Of q
mesa, and after dragging his horse down
the rock run, he rode a short distance
when he met big bear hiking" up
the hill. He yelled and the bear turned
and the dogs soon came up and followed
the quarry, finally freeing him. The
bear was in an open IS feet from the
ground, and Mr.. Throckmorton was
eager for shot. ......
III you think you can kill him, blaze
away" said Mr. Golf, ''but II you only
wound him he'll drop down and there
will be a fight which is liable to make
sausage of some of my dogs, and they
are a valuable pack" .m
Mr.. Throckmorton took careful aim
and fired. The bear lurched and then
stuck in the fork Of the tree. Apparent
ly he was dead one. Mr.. Throckmorton
put his hunting knife in his mouth and
climbed up, finding the bear dead. The
branches were cut, and Bruin fell to tho
ground, when it was discovered that tho
shot had gone through his heart. The
dogs had plenty of fresh meat, and tho
successful hunter had the skin Of $50
pound cinnamon to bring home as a
trophy. Later in the season the bear
would have weighed 700 pounds.
The other three bears killed on the
trip weighed 4S5, 500 and 200 pounds re-

WISEsT OF MONKEYS.
A Chimpanzee Of Rare Intelligence
and Fine Manners.
He Lives In Private Apartment Sup.
Piled with All Modern COnven-
tences-NOt q Success a. an
Electrician.

There have been other monkeys who
with knife and fork, ridden bicycles,
slept in beds. and all that sort of thing,
but they have done these things usually
at the end of whip lash. But with
Consul it is very different. Consul is
a chimpanzee of rare intelligence. He
enjoys whatever he is doing. He is a
natural-born humorist, and most pre-
cocious CHILD of four years. At present
he infests a spacious apartment in
Coney Island palace as the star boarder
and bosom companion of Frank G. Bos-
took. His nature has endeared him to
the hearts of all who have had the good
fortune to know him.
Consul arrived at the port Of New
York recently, after pleasant voyage
across the ocean aboard the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse On his arrival he
rode with his hat and suit cases gath
cred about him in his cab to his suite at
a hotel.
Consul is only about three feet high,
and his legs are so short that he has to
fold up his fingers and walk on his
knuckles when he drops to all fours.
His lips are thin, but most extensive;
when he smiles they reach from ear to
ear For one so young, he wears a
fine set of side whiskers, which meet
and disappears beneath his chin, but the
rest of his face is fairly smooth. His
nose is not noticeable. but there Is q
fine, long upper lip. His ears are gen.
erous to fault, and his forehead is SO
low that the tips Of his ears, had they
eyes, could see each other over the top
of his head. He, is rather sensitive
about his large ears, and conceals the
deformity under spacious jockey cap,
which he wears, even to bed.
Consul is very fond of children, es-
pecially the curly-haired boys Of the

Bostock family, and at the hotel in New
York his chief delight was to Guido the
little boys in turning somersets over the
bed and landing on his feet on the floor
beyond These three had very happy
times playing the children's game known
as follow the leader" Consul was the
leader" and the children tried to do
everything he did, while Consul, after he
performed, sat gravely on the bed and
saw to 1t that they did 1t accurately. The
children followed" most acceptably,
jumping down from the headboard on to
the bed, over tables, chairs and trunks,
but when it came to swinging from the
chandelier and landing in q heap on the
bed fully ten feet away, the children had
to admit the superiority of the agile
four-year-old.
AS quickly as his apartment at Coney
island was ready for occupancy, Consul
moved in. It consists of one large room
in a corner of the palace, upon raised
platform, about Is feet long. In that
space are his gymnasium, his dining
room, his bedroom, his reception par
lor and his private ofiice-a box In
one corner where he goes to sleep away
from the prying eyes of the public. The
whole is lighted by electric lights re-
flected by corrugated tin. Consul knows
they are tin, because he went up the step
ladder and the back of the electrician,
who was standing on top of it, and tested
the matter with his teeth. After couple
Of tries, which resulted In nothing but
teeth marks on the metal, he concluded
that they we're nice to look upon, but not
good to eat, and came away gravely,
much to the relief of the electrician. He
learned, too, that electric bulbs conceal
a great noise within themselves. He has
been afraid of them ever since the time
ae threw one on the floor, and it ex-
ploded, throwing the fragments in
shower of glass all over him, the globe
mysteriously disappearing in the noise.
When that happened Consul's hair rose
on his head and he retreated against the
confines of his iron bars, fit subject for
a comic artist.
The only thing lacking in his apart
ment Is a bathtub. But once every day
his valet takes him down to the ocean
front and gives him bath in the surf
in order to avoid the crowd that opera
ton is performed at night or just after
daylight in the morning.
