Later in the afternoon, Rev. w. A.
Arrowood, pastor of Bethel, come to Of
fer spiritual consolation. The good
man reminded Young of his condition
and asked him to make his peace with
God, and put his trust in the Savior
Young said with forced skepticism that
all Of that was Of no account. The
good minister went on however, and
offered up an earnest prayer in which
he referred to the dying man mother
sisters and other relatives and for the
first time during all the terrible ordeal
the poor fellow broke into sobs. He
was deeply and sincerely affected; but
later he seemed to grow ashamed OF
this display Of weakness, and with an
attempt to resume the cold cynicism
that had all along characterized his
demeanor, he turned to one of the men
at his bedside and asked: What does
the reverend charge for that?"
But the experience was too much
for him. The long dormant but power
full emotions that had been aroused by
the kind words and earnest supplica-
tions of the Christian minister seemed
10 lend their assistance to the destroy
ing wounds. In less than two minutes
convulsions developed. The dying
man started up as If to stand, and
then fell back dead.
The coroners jury examined a num-
ber of witnesses, and developed the
facts about as reported in the last issue
Of THE ENQUIRER. The verdict was to
the effect that the deceased came to
his death as the result Of gunshot
wounds inflicted by Russell and Hoard,

There is no longer any doubt that au-

There is something thrilling about the

AS an inducement TO recruits. the op-

LOSS OF CANTEEN
PROVING SERIOUS
SURGEON GENERAL IN THE PHILIP
PINES SAYS 1T HAS DEATH
RATE TO INCREASE.
MALAYS MAKE FINE SHOWING
Death Rate Among Them Is Low and
There Is Little or No Drunkenness
insanity Decreasing.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. An increase in the
death rate in the army in the Philippines
from 1896 per 1000 in 1901 to i5.4o per
1000 in 1902 is shown in the annual re-
port of Surgeon General r. NJ. Reilly for
the fiscal year ending June 80.
This increase is attributed to cholera,
which caused 3s4 deaths.
slight improvement shows in the adj
mission rate for diseases and injury which
declined from I7oi.so per 1000 in 1901
to 17I6.5I per 1000 in 1909. Discussing
other features OF the health of the army,
Surgeon General O'Reilly's report says:
Fiipinos Cut Figure.
The enrolment of about 5000 native
Filipino scouts having added new racial
element to the army it becomes a matter
OF much interest to study the comparative
effects of disease on them and OH our
white and colored troops. For the whole
army at home and abroad during the year
1902, the white troops showed an admis-
sion rate of I7o6.33 per 1000 and death
rate of I4.4o.
The negro troops had 1924 admis
sions and of death rate ALL per 1000,
and the Malay scouts 17o7.21 admissions
per 1000 and 24.o4 deaths The white
race therefore gave the lowest figures in
sickness and much the lowest mortality
The black race led both, although the
Malay's closely approached it in death
rate.
Little Drunkenness.
"Thc freedom Of Filipinos from the vice
Of drunkenness is strikingly shown when
We find that out of 5000 men only three
individuals were treated for alcoholism in
one year. and while white soldiers were
admitted to sick report on account OF their
own conduct, the use OF alcohol was at the
rate OF 24.78 per 1000, and colorcd troops
at the rate of Ii.7o, the Malay scouts
showed the extremely small admission rate
of .62 per 900.
"The steady increasing prevalence Of
venereal diseases is the most discouraging
feature in the sick report of the army.
During 1902 $4,000 admissions were from
this cause alone, equivalent to n rate of
I6o.o4 per 900. Admission to sick re-
port from alcoholism in 1909 were slightly
in excess of the number (ncluding volun-
teers) for 1901. A total number OF 1890
cases, equivalent to 22.65 per 1000 Of
strength occurred.
Loss of Canteen Given.
ut is impossible not to attribute large
part of the steadily increasing venercal
diseases of the arm to the loss OF the can
teen, where the soldier if he so desires
could get his beer throughout the month,
but was not subjected to the temptations
of intemperance and vice now attendant
upon the expenditure of full month S
pay at the low resorts in the outskirts Of
our military reservations.
"A slight dimunition of the insanity oc-
CURED in the army during 1902. There
were 1873 new cases, equivalent to the ad-
mission rate of III per 1000, which was
almost identical with the rate for the de-
cadc 1901 to 1000"
