THE BODY NOT RECOVERED

A young man, whose name and ad-
dress are unknown to the police, jumped
for the Pennsylvania fefryboat Cincin-
natl, of the Desbrosses street line, as, it
was leaving the slip on its $40 o'clock
trip from this city to New York this
drowned. His body was not recovered
There was dense fog on the river at
the time and the boats were running
at very irregular intervals.
The young man, who was about nine
ten or twenty years old, rushed through
the ferry house just as the Cincinnati
was leaving. He evidently wanted to
gte to New York in hurry. When. he
reached the bridge the gates were closed
and the boat had begun to pull out into
the stream. Without moments hesi-
tation the young man vaulted over the
bridge gates and jumped for the boat,
then about FIVE feet out. He misealcu-
lated the distance, however, and plunged
into the river. He sank and was not
seen again.
The ferryboat was stopped and the
deck hands made ready to throw line
but the fog was so thick in the water
that the young man could not be seen
even though he came to the surface. The
search was continuer by the ferrymen for
several hours but in vain.
Bridgeman John Keane said that the
young man was well dressed. He wore
dark overcoat and derby hat. He
was evidently good athlete, as the gates
are fully five feet high.

HUDSON'S DEATH
RATE.
Statistics Prove That the
Cdunty Is Exceptionally
Healthy.
ONLY EIGHTEEN TO THousAn=
tuberculosis Our Fatal Dis
ease-othsr Figures.


Judging by the report of vital statis-
tics received yesterday by Clerk G. j.
Rooney, of the County Health Board,
from the Superior Board Of Health Of
Porto Rico, Hudson County is not only a
much more healthful place than Uncle
Sans new island possession, but the peo-
pie of our county. from moral stand
point, are far advanced beyond the Porto
Ricans.
The fact that Porto Rico is not near
" as health va place as Hudson County
may prove a surprise to those who make
trips to the West Indies for the bene-
cts to be derived from the salubrious CHI
mate" but nevertheless is attested by
the death rate fthe two places.
In Hudson County the death rate per
1000 Of population last year was 1873,
in Porto Rico during the same period
it was ~.
A striking difference is. shown by the
list of diseases causing death. In Hud-
son County more people die Of tubercu-
losis than from any other one disease,
while more Porto Ricans die of anemia,
OF drying up Of the blood, than from
anything else.
Of the ,418 deaths here last year S49
were from tuberculosis, whale the number
who died of the prevalent Porto Rican
disease, anemia, was so small that in
the summary of deaths issued by the
County Beard of Hesith they are simply
classed in the column devoted to ''aH
other Diseases"
In Porto Rico, out of a total of 2,178
deaths last january, 6ss were from ane-
mia, while but 1l2 suceumbed to the
rayages of tuberculosis. Thus the dis
ease scarcely known here caused 20 per
cent. Of the deaths in Porto Rico, while
consumption, 50 prevalent among people
of our section of the country, elaims COM
paratIveIy few victims in our newly ac-
4uired island.
This is doubly strange when it is con-
sidered that diseases which frequently
lead up to tuberculosis are almost as
prevalent there as here.
During January there were is cases
of grippe resulting in death in Porto
Rico, % of cersbro-spinal fever which
had fatal termination and death was
caused in two cases by ddptheria, six by
typhoid, IS by pneumonia and 81 by
heart disease.
OF the deaths on the island S54, or an
average of 1912 per 600 living, were Of
County the percentage of deaths of chill
dren of tender years was but 6.5 per
1000 of population.
During the month Of january last
there were $50 marriages in Porto Rico,
an average Of one to each 100 of the
population, while Hudson County's aver
age is one for each l05 of population.
Astounding indeed are the birth rsturns
from Uncle Sans West Indian acquisi-

THE FEAR OF HUMBue.



Stomach troubles are SO common and
in most cases SO obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be radical, per-
manent cure for dyspepsia and indiges-
ton. Many such pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being hum
bugged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges
ton rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly dierent in one important respec
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret
patent medicine, no secret is made OF
their ingredients, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive fer
ments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive
acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydras sits
and nux. They are not cathartic,,
neither do they act powerfully on any
organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting the food
eaten thoroughly before it has time to
ferment sour and cause the mischief.
