PUBLIC HEALTH.
Pneunonia's Ravages-More Prevalent

Pneumonia's Ravages-More Prevalent
 Than Consumption.
 In the mortality report issued yester- day by Secretary Lindsley of the state board of health, it is found that pneu- monia again leads consumption and all other diseases as a cause of death in this state. Pneumonia claimed 213 vic- tims while consumotion caused 137 deaths during January.
 Dr. Lindsley said yesterday that the ratio per thousand that died of con- sumption, was gradually growing less In 1883 the rate was something over g, but during 1892, the last full year tabu- lated. the rate was less than 15 per thousand The unusually severe winter has caused all over the country a large increase in the number of cases of pnue- monia. and in this state the same con- ditions prevail.
 Improved understanding of the meth ods Of preventing the spread of con- sumption is largely due to the decrease in fatalities from the disease. One emil nent specialist, Dr. Lindsley, is authori- ty for the statement that the medical profession consider consumption the surest of all infectious diseases to be eventually annihilated, save only ty- phus and smallpox.

CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH.

Third Mid-week Service This Evening.
 .The Souls Anchor was the theme of the discourse delivered by the pastor, Rev. w. F. Dicker1nan. in the Church of the Messiah Sunday morning- It was full of impressive and reviving utter ances. with the effort to enforce the consciousness that we are spiritual beings-the last and highest product of humanity; also the last that we vividly apprehend. Our religious services are for the strengthening of hope in our spiritual natures, and for appropriating and sharing with each other such help and comfort as all souls crave. The question of immortality was not dis cussed, but was assumed, and the real ity of human thought and inspiration made as evident to our consciousness as material blossoms and fruit. All hearts, weighted by deep sorrow, of whatever nature. must have been cheered and strengthened by the excellent discourse.
 In the. evening the topic Good Citi- zenship' was illustrated by many beau tiful and appropriate pictures. with other devotional exercises. -:
 The third inid-week service will occur this evening, Sermon 9Ishe Call of God on Our Souls" by Rev. F. A. Dillingham; of Bridgeport. All are cordially invited.

LEAP YEAR SOCIAL

By Young Peoples Union of the Lu-

 Mrs. Granville. wife of Professor Granville of Yale, entertained the Young Peoples union Of the Lutheran church at her home, 11S Howe street, last evening, with leap year social, the girls paying all expenses. The parlcr was decorated with valentines. the sitting room was hung with red hearts. while the study was converted into den for arching. At the back of the room on a large board was a heart composed of ten colors, with background of blue, outlined in red, green, white, blue, tan and red. The hearts center was white, while around it were hearts of all sizes and shapes to attract the archer's eye Original lines were written on the back of the hearts, such as Red hair, white teeth and eyes of blue, a patriotic girl for you" An other, She has a temper, have care, or you will quickly lose your hair.'' ITO cause your marriage, to bring you joy, will all your wits and tact employ" Be good and let who will be wise, in doing this youll win the prize.'' Her only aim is to look pretty and pose; you'll often regret the day you pro- posed.'' Cupid had his quiver full of golden arrows.
 The prizes for the successful arches were for the lady serim top collar and cuffs of serim embroidered in pink and green. The gentleman's prize was valentine entitled Whats the Use" In one corner was a check inscribed One hard life and forty million drawn from the bank of human energy to the accoutn of Father Time" Upon it also were candle burnt at both ends and stock brokers tape, a bottle of vital fluid, a notary's seal, and an obituary notice, the center a skull.
 A postofflce, with Miss Rachel Gram vile as postmistress, and her assistants, Miss Lily Bremen and Miss Ruth Brandt, delivered for five cents valen- tines, handsome and original. Cute descriptive traits were well hit upon by the youthful postmistress.

year in order to keep pace with the growth of our city. All boxes fitted with keyless doors have given entire satisfaction, and I would recommend that more of the boxes be similarly equipped, as it is sometimes difficult to locate keys to the boxes with the pres ent arrangement.
 Wires.
 During the year the underground wires have been extended on Whalley avenue, from Park to Hobart streets, on account of which we were enabled to remove a quantity of overhead wire which was in poor condition and laoie to cause considerable damage. We have also placed underground wires on George street, from Church to York streets, and removed the overhead wire on Oak street. The total amount or wire in use is 158 miles, of which S2 miles are underground and 76 miles are aerial. The amount of conduit pipes IS the same as last year-24 2-S miles with the addition of some lateral pipes which were put in to connect fire alarm boxes.
 Instruments.
 To operate the above instruments 4ou cells of storage and fifty cells of Le- Clanche batteries are required. During the year we painted our boxes, tested our poles and replaced wire where nec- essary. eliminating, wherever possible, the aerial wire and putting in under ground. In the future I would recom- mend the purchase of lead-covered ca bles to replace the single rubber-cover- ed underground wire, which is rapidly wearing out, both for economy and for the good of the service.
