THE
new YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
THE
Read Wherever the English Language
il Spoken.

The Thrlce-a-Week World was brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
proval on the Thrice-a- Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a- Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thriee-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular sub
scription price is only $1.O0 per year and
this pays for 156 papers. We offer this un-
equaled newspaper and THE SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is $500

DECREASE IN DEATH
Statistics show That Americans Are Using Less Whiskey.

U9tuK Le88 NWhHAGys
 New York, Aug. 18.--An examination of the health records of New York. prompted by statistics recently com piled by the Chicago health department, shows that there has been remarkable decrease in death from nervous troubles in this city since 1870. While other ailments such as heart disease, Brights s disease and consumption have been gaining ground, all affections of the nervous system have diminished as New York has grown larger and more turbulent.
 As stated the investigation was in- spired by a recent report from Chicago showing that deaths there from ner- vous disorders had fallen off from S7.6 persons per 1000 in 1870 to 12s per sons in 1904.
 A table compiled by the registrar from the records of Manhattan and Bronx boroughs shows these surprising results:
 Death rates per 1000 inhabitants in 1870. 3472; in 1880, 23.6; in 1890. 1891; fin 1900, 1417: in 1904. 1888.
 Notwithstanding these statistics. pr. Darlington. head of the Health Depart ment, declares that the wear and de- struction of human life and health from the pressure and complexity of New York life arc constantly increasing. It is now manifest, he asserts. in diseases other than those of the nervous sys- tenn. He declared also that the de- crease in purely nervous diseases Is very largely due to the decrease in consumption of whiskey in New York.

CONSUL LTATIVE ASSEMBLY
 GIVEN TO RUSSIAN PEOPLE

virtually an appeal to the Russian peo- pie for support to resist 1t.
 At Tokio 1t Is impossible to tell what view will be taken. Peace probably can be even now secured by the sacri- flee of the indemnity. Vague intima- tions tonight come from the Japanese side "that the demand for the cost of the war might be moderate, but M. witte's reply is that he will pay lib- orally for the maintenance of the Rus sian prisoners in Japan, but not copeck for tribute"
 The gravity of the situation from the Japanese point of view Is contained in the following authoritative state ment given to the Associated Press:
 T cannot say positively because all things are possible, but I fear the meeting on Tuesday will be the fare we'll session of the Washington con- ference Japan has done her utmost for peace. Russia now knows Japan s irreducible minimum"
 Mir. witte. himself. tonight gave not the slightest encouragement. For pub lication he said: We meet Tuesday only to sign the protocol" with the accent on the word ''only." Another bad sign was the change in the per sonal attitude of the plenipoentiaries toward each other. During the week they have been growing more and more friendly at luncheon which they take together at the navy yard. Today they sat together and ate in silence. All seemed strangely constrained as II realizing they could onfy agree to dis- agree and that the war must go on. Tonight the situation can be summed up in a single sentence-prompt and heroic action by outside influence alone can save the conference.

CONTRACTOR MISSING.
Friends Think He Was slugsed by
 Union Men.

Chicago. Aug. 18.-R. H. Davidson, a butlding contractor. is missing from Chicago and his friends and relatives think he has met death at the hands of A union labor "sluging" gang
 Davidson was in the employ of Frank w, Adams. as superintendent at the construction of a new building at Rock well and Thirty Streets. The construction of the building has been marked by continuous labor troubles.
 After he had discharged number of bricklayers Davidson received call from A man who is supposed to have been A union business agent. That was several days ago.
 The Interview between the contractor and the stranger ended in a violent quarrel in which Davidson knocked his caller down on the floor of the new building Two days later Davidson left his work as usual at o'clock in the afternoon. but he did not reach his resi- dence The next day an unknown per son called Frank W. Adams on the tel ephone and said:
 You will find your man Davidson in the riveer
 Since that telephonic communication no word has been heeard from David son or about him.

SIXTY-TWO NEW CASES AND
 EIGHT DEATHS ARE REPORTED

that since 1901 yellow fever patients arriving at Havana have constantly been taken through the busiest streets l in screened ambulances without. sim gle case of fever having developed in the city. In cases where the fever vic- tins were accompanied by companions, by husbands or wives. fathers or moth- CTS, these companions have been all lowed to occupy the same room with the yellow fever patients without bad results.
 In one case where a man remained with his wife until she died, so certain was 1t felt that the disease could not be transmitted by any other means than the mosquito, that he was per mitted to walk out into the busiest streets of Havana within an hour after his wifes death. Dr. Guiteras said his own daughter, born in North Carolina and not an immune, often visited the yellow fever patients without harm to herself and that the daughter of the President of the Republic, also non- immune was likewise an earnest work CT in the yellow fever work and had never been infected. Dr. Guiteras said he thought the fight here If 1t was kept up was certain to be successful.
 Towns Bottled Up.
 Advices from the Mississippi coast do not at present indicate any inten- ton on the part of the towns there to raise the quarantine against New Or- leans, nor even to modify them. Pass Christian and Biloxi have both com pletely bottled themselves up and all the resorts have put up the bars against Mississippi City. As the tying up Of the Gulf and Ship Island road makes 1t impossible for the towns to hold any communication with the rest of the State, however it is expected that with continued improvement here an under standing looking to modified communi- cation will be reached. Meantime the advices which reach here indicate that the fever at Mississippi City is of the same mild type as that generally pre- vailing in this city.
 Some apprehension is felt among householders that they will suffer heavy personal loss through damage to silver and brassware. pianos. organs and other musical instruments and clothing if they follow strictly the in- structions concerning the proposed general Immigration of premises on Sunday Sulphur burned in large quantities. 1t is pointed out by corre- spondents writing to the newspapers, IS calculated seriously to inJure such articles. Doctors White, Guiteras and Metz, however. have given very explic- it directions as to how householders may protect themselves and 1t Is ex- pected that there will be pretty gen. eral response to the appeal.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 1S. At midnight Assistant secre- tary Peirce was hurrfedly called to the Hotel Wentworth, where . message was awaiting him from the President. He imme- dfately wrote . lengthy reply. He was later called to the tele- graph instrument and for half an hour carried on a converse tion by telegraph with the Pres- ident, who was at the other end of the wire at Oyster Bay. At 2,5O a. m., the telegraphic con- verssticn with the President ceased, and Mir. Peirce left the hotel In his automobile. He said he was going home, hut be- yond that he declined to make any statement. @I can tell you nothing," he said to all the anx- ious inquiries of the newspaper men.
 The Associated Press has ren- son to believe that the purpose of the President's conversation with Mir. Peirce was to arrange for one of the Russians to go to Oyster Bay. The President fs understood to be already in communication with the Japan csc through Baron Kanel<o. MT. Roosevelt is undoubtedly prepar- ed to make a last effort to fn- duce the warning countries to compromise.
