n passing call on their way TO the r.
rlgntion Congress. We would like TO

there Is work ahead for them at the
great gathering in that city, They
come from distinguished journals In
the east. To many OF them there are
new things to be seen IN the west.
During their short stay every possl-
Bile courtesy should be shown them,
and we believe thep are In good hands
for this purpose. They will see some
prominent objects of interest. and
VIII learn that the people here are
similar TO others In places from whence
they have come. II win puzzle them

corning the people who first settled

have TO obtain their information

not engaged In stufing travellers with

that are too terrible for cane belief.
We hope they win have good time
in Utah and return with matter suit
able for the great papers they repre-
sent and which win be Of benefit TO
the reading public.

AS TO RACE SUICIDE.

Tho statistics on the birthrate of this
country do not give any ground for
alarm on account Of race suicide. Ac-
cording TO the last census the births
the deaths were i,030.OQi so that the
births exceeded the deaths by 1,0l0,03S.
And 1t Is not supposed that the birth
figures are absolutely correct, for
births, It is said, are not always re-
corded,
According to the calculations OF ex-
perts, this country has a higher birth
rate than any country in Europe, ex-
ceptlng Austria Hungary and Italy.
A statement by the chief statlstlcion
for vital statistics OF the census Office
shows that the only countries having
a smaller death rate are Sweden and
Norway, and those which have a great
er birth rate are Italy and Austria
Hungary The same figures show that
from June l. 1890, until May /, 1900,
the average annual excess OF births
over deaths in the United States was
III per 1000 Of population, while
Prussia stood next In this respect,
with lf7 per 1000, Then came IIol-

at $4,000.
The fire started about II o'clock in
the top of the building, which was
four stories high and without fire es-
capes. It was occupied by about sixty
students, who were asleep when the.
alarm was given. The widest panic
ensued, the women and girls rushing
screaming to the windows, from which
they jumped in droves, the dead and
injured lying in heaps where they fell, j
to be fallen on by those following
them from the flaming windows.
Every ambulance in the city was soon:

were first discovered they seemed to
entirely envelope the building, and it
is considered almost certain that some
of the terrorized occupants were over

windows.
