CHICAGO MORE HEALTHFUL.
The Death Rate OF Western city IL
Lower Than That of London
by One-Fifth.

A table of the vital statistics of
London received by the health de-
partment gives the death rate Of
London as III per cent. per 1000 OF
population. Chicagos death rate,
1852 per cent, is more than one-tifth
lower.
The month of March, according to
the latest department bulletin, is
barely saving its record as one of de-
clning mortality. The report says:
The SOB deaths recorded during the
week represent an annual rate OF
1883 in the thousand of population
precisely the same as for the CORE
spending week of last year, when the
death rate was about normal for the
season, and nearly (7O per cent.
lower than that Of the preceding
week. Pneumonia deaths still con-
tinue excessive 800 per cent. greater
than those from consumption and 40
freak weather of the past fortnight
has prevented the anticipated reduc-
ton of this disease.
The same remarkably light mortal
ity from the acute intestinal diseases
that has obtained since the first of
the year still continues. A marked
improvement in the sanitary quality
Of the water supply was noted in the
laboratory during the week.
1t is probable that the anticipated
stories of wet years has at last begun
and the soil pollution, which has been
intensified by the previous six or
eight dry years, win be leached out
and carried into the lake.
1t will be, therefore, more than
ever necessary to boil the water"-
especially after every heavy rain.

EXPORT TRADE ENCOURAGING.
The Popularity of American GOODS
Increases In All Foreign
CountrIes.

The review of the worlds commerce
for 1908, by Frederic Emory, chief Of
| the bureau Of foreign commerce of the
state department, says that there is
ground for substantial encouragement
regarding the permanence of the ex-
port trade in manufactured goods and
Of the success of the American compe-
titor in the markets of the world. Not
only, he says, has the foreign customer
been tempted in buying from US at cut
prices, but he has been SO impressed by
the superiority of things American as
to bid against the domestic purchaser,
thus demonstrating that our export
trade is to become a stable factor Of
the country's industrial and agricul-
tural prosperity.
There has been a subsistence Of ex-
port activity In certain lines Of goods
in which the home demand has in
creased, but there has been no general
neglect Of the foreign market for home
orders.
Mr.. Emory says a period Of overpro-
duction may be expected which Will
afford large surplus Of manufactured
goods for export; but whether this
overproduction will result from over
stimulation Of our industries or from
diminished home consumption, its
antidote is to be found in the as
surances from consuls throughout
the world of the success attending
American invasion. Even In such un-
progressive countries as Turkey,
East Africa, China and Corea, Amer
lean manufactures show steady ad-
vance and increasing popularity.
In transmitting the publication to
the president, Secretary Hay calls
attention to the satisfactory results
derived from the efficient coopera-
ton Of our consular service with the
bureau of foreign commerce.

W. w Campbell, director of the Lick

tunity to catch a glimpse of the new
star discovered by Turner at oxford,

occurred the other night at the close
Of a long spell Of stormy weather. Ex-
ccIlent observations of it were Sc

Geographically it is fully a magnitude
brighter than this. on account of the
richness Of the star in Photographic

Gus bright bands, the most conspicu-
Gus being those due to hydrogen. The
history of previous new stars leads us
TO expect that the nature Of this OBJ

few weeks or months it will become a

Famous Tiara of ST. Appliances De-

The story Of the tiara Of st. Appliances
is much discussed in the Russian press.

that in south Russia, especially at

chiefly in the hands Of Greeks and
Jews, are engaged in the work and

style as TO deceive even the experts.
As regards the tiara il is considered
probable that the design originated at

PIGEON SHOOTING.
Sentiment and Laws of the Country
Against Sport More Stringent.
Societies for the Prevention of CRU
city to Animals Very Active
What Is Being Done In the
Various States.

It is a fact that from the trapshoot
er's viewpoint the sport of trapshoot
ing is likely to have added legal linn
itations. The outlook for it in the
United States, says the Forest and
Stream, SO far as tests of skill on live
birds at the traps are concerned,
seems to be exceedingly cloudy for the
year 1903.
The legislatures of some Of the
states are bestirring themselves &C
lively against it, while others view it
askance with unfriendly eye.
If we consider that legislatures, as
rule, voice the sentiments of the peo-
pie, the fact cannot be ignored that
there must be some profound public
sentiment forcing and supporting the
legislative hostility and activity in ref
erence TO pigeon shooting at the traps.
The hostility is most persiStently in
action, and is spreading over ever in
creasing areas. Forces are at work
which are constantly active and un-
compromising in this matter. Vic
tory in one state does not end the mat
ter. 1t is but a stepping stone to vic
tory in several other states.
To one who has given the subject
any thought, it is self-eyident that the
purpose Of the anti-pigeon shooters Is
the abolition of live-bird shooting at
the traps throughout the United
States. The hostile forces are pow
erfully organized and powerfully sup
ported The S. 2. c. A. societies Of
the different states are the central or
CARNATIONS, vested with legal powers
which gives them great prestige and
force in accomplishing their purposes.
They are reinforced with a strong
public sentiment, as shown by the una
nimity Of the daily press in denounc-
ing the sport OF pigeon shooting, and
warmly indorsing legislation against
II. While some of the opposition to
live-bird shooting has its source IN
demagoguism, there IS undoubtedly
much OF which is genuine. When an
issue grows from local into national
interest, persisting from year to year,
Il is absurd 10 maintain that 1t is insin-
ccre, or unimportant or ephemeral,
Last year live-bird shooting at the
traps was practically made illegal In
The state Of New York by the repeal Of
the law which specifically sanctioned
st. The issue had been carried over
from the legislature of the previous
year. The anti-pigeon shooters won,
Last year the New Jersey legislature
had the matter Of live-bird sh ooting at
the traps under consideration, but no
decided action was taken on it. This
year the anti-pgeon shooters had an
anfi-pigeon shooting bill before the
New Jersey legislature almost as soon
as the session began, and it has now
progressed 50 far as to be considered
by the committee which has it in
charge.
Several other states have the mat
ter under consideration more or less
formally, or informally, and are like
ly II any time TO prohibit it.
So long as the trapShooters remain
unorganized politically or as trap
shooters, they cannot hope to make
good their contention when opposed
by organized bodies, by public senti-
ment and by the daily press
