Governments Mortality Figures on
Six Largest Cities.
Now comes the United States govern
proud boast of being the heaIthiest city
in the country, and therefore, by infer
ence, in the world. The Chicago health
department, in its weekly bulletin, tells
of having received the special reports
of the federal census department These
reports are the mortality statistics for
1900-1904 inclusive, and their authority
is the highest obtainable.
The six most important cities in this
country-those with populations of
100000 or more-are dealt with i'm I'm
Gle Sans figures. The Chicago health
officials make this condensation of tho
report:
"Chicago'S annual death rate is more
than one-fifth (23.5 per cent? lower
than the average death rate of the
other five cities-the Chicago rate be-
ing 14.61, and the average rate of the
other cities being 1911 per thousand
of the average population Of the peri
cd.
1.-THE St Louis rate (1S.Oj) is 23.5
per cent higher than the Chicago rate.
The Philadelphia rae (1S.S2) is 2S.S
per cent higher. The Boston rate
1888 is 296 per cent higher. The
New York rate (19.64 is 34.4 per cent
higher And the Baltimore rate 10000
is 3T.5 per cent higher than the Chicago
rate"
As to the Chicago pace, the bulletin
says:
Life is certainly strenuous enough
in Chicago. But the figures show that
the average Chicagoans can stand siren
uOsity II per cent better than the New
Yorker, 20 per cent better than the Bos-
tonian. nearly % per cent better than
the st. Louisian, one-tbird better than
the Philadelphia and nearly 40 per
cent better than the Baltimorean.7

SchmitZ the other and the third will
be selected by the Finance Committee,
and will be man familiar with the

The great concern of the San Fran
cisco authorities just now is how to
care for the refugees now encamped in
the parks, when the blustery wintaS
weather comes on, and how to provide
houses for the thousands of workmen
who win come to San Francisco as soon
as building operations are well under
way. There are $500 people living in
tents at the present time, for whom
concern about the winter is imperative.
Assuming that $4,000 persons have left
San Francisco permanently, that 100,-
600 will double up in the residence Sec
ton that escaped the flames, and that
$4,000 will be provided for by private
enterprise. about $4,000 remain out of
the 90. 900 rendered homeless by the
fire to be cared for 1t means virtually
the building of a good-sized city within
a few weeks If these unfortunates are
to be properly housed
Capt. w. w. Harris, United States
engineer, has prepared plans for tenn
porary houses to be placed in the parks
and public squares. These Will be two
and four-room cottages, and the de-
signs afford better hygienic conditions
than the ordinary city tenement. The
Red Cross Society has plan to use its
surplus in building temporary homes
for all who cannot find houses already
built. 1t is proposed to rent these
houses at rates varying from So to Sc
per month. To the destitute no rent
will be charged The Red Cross will
also extend the helping hand TO work
ing men who own land and wish to
erect permanent homes and will lend
them money at n low rate of interest.
Portable houses that can be put to-
gether while you watt are also to be
had in emergencies. Barracks viii be
built if the influx of working men hur-
rying to the city for the good wages
that await them is realized.

in bankruptcy in that city that the Stand
ard Oil Company paid him an annual
pension of $4,000 for 4 certain period for
refraining from selling oil and gasoline
in the District of Columbia He SAYS
he went into Bankruptcy when the Stand
ard stopped paying him the pension, be-
cause it had gained such a strong hold
and had SO lowered the price of oil in
Washington, making it up in Baltimore,
that when he resumed business he failed
completely. Nicolai said that two other
companies doing business in Washington,
and claiming not to belong to the trust,
are controlled by the Standard, and that
a number of smaller concerns which have
recently gone out of business are recefy-
ing pension from the trust.

SAILORS BRAIN IN BOTTLE.


John Rogers, a seaman now at the ma
line hospital at Ashland, in the last six
years has had his skull trepanned six
times, and specimens of his brain are
displayed in bottles at as many places.
Rogers was saltwater sailor. Six years
ago his ship touched at Brunswick, Ca.
and Rogers and his shipmates attended a
dance. A row occurred, in which a
Georgia cracker shot at a rival, the bull
let striking Rogers in the forehead and
lodging in his brain. An unsuccessful
search was made for the bullet. He again
went before the mast. While at sea Rog-
ers was sent aloft to reef a sail. He
tainted and fell to the deck, fracturing his
skull. He was taken to New York. where
his skull was trepanned. Reshipping he
sailed down tine Atlantic coast. but was
frequently seized with epilepsy. By a
curious coincidence, his vessel touched at
Brunswick. The surgeons. knowing of
his former trouble, decided to try again
to remove splinters which apparently
caused the epilepsy. An operation was
performed and in due time he arrived OF
where a fourth operation was performed
At this time Rogers brother, who lives
at Syracuse. took his brother to Johns
Hopl ms university. Here the bullet was
removed. From New York he drifted to
the great lakes. Two years ago he was
put off vessel at Ashland suffering from
brain trouble. He then entered the ma
rine hospital and was removed to the hos
pital at Chicago last fall. where he re-
manned unconscious for some time, and
when he recovered his senses he found
that his skull had been trepanned for the
sixth and, Mr.. Rogers hopes, last time
4 week ago he began to suffer from head
aches, and fearing a recurrence of his
former troubles, he left his boat at Du-
lUFh for Ashland

Cultivation of Cabbage.

Market gardeners often raise earlier
and larger cabbages than are usually
found in even our best private gardens.
One reason of this is probably due to
the fact that the market gardeners
grow cabbages on a large scale, and
use the horse hoe or cultivator between
the rows of growing cabbages. This
deep and thorough cultivation not only
keeps the land free from weeds, but 1t
also prunes the roots and checks the
growth of the cabbages for a short
time, though not for long. The roots
which are pruned throw out numerous
small fibers, which feed on a rich sur
face soil rather than on the poorer sub
soil. This check to the growth of the
cabbages favors early maturity. But
1t should not be forgotten that 1t is in
dispensable to success that the land for
early cabbages be very rich, and the
more one cultivates them the better.

and the nesting material renewed with
out difficulty. Hens will lay more eggs
if the nests are dark than when they
are light.

LONG TRIP OF oRYDock ENDED.
The Dewey lowed to Philippines in
1N2 DAYS


Just 1913 days after it sailed from
Solomon's island. Chesapeake bay. the
great drydock Dewey arrived at Dion
gapo, z. l., having finished its perilous
voyage of more than 1900 miles with
an average speed of 100 miles day for
the time it was in motion.
Twice the drydock was in serious
danger. Its first trouble was late in
February off the Canaries. where it
struck a storm and the hawsers COLI
Meeting it with the towing fleet were
broken, allowing the great hulk to go
adrift Again in the Mediterranean,
not far from Malta, early in April. the
dock broke loose from its companions
and 1oundered about for short time.
When the Dewey started from Solo
mons island it was accompanied by the
Golfers Cesar and Bruts, the tug Po-
tomac and the refrigerating ship Gla-
cier. The Potomac left the Dewey at
Suez and the other three ships made
up the docks escort until it reached
Singapore, where the Wampatuck join
ed the towing fleet.
After leaving Solomon's island Dec.
IS, 1905, the Dewey was first sighted
off the Bermudas on Jan. 3, 1906. 1t
reached Las Palmas, Canary islands, on
Feb. %, and had to remain there until
March Is because of damage done by
the storm which separated the dock
from its escort. The dock was sighted
off Gibraltar on March % and passed
Malta ON April 4. 1t reached Port Said
on April IS and was delayed several
days in getting through the Suez canal
by winds. which forced it against the
sides of the canal and made it impos-
sible to proceed until calm prevailed
1t sailed from Suez on May and pass
ed Colombo on June 5. Sabang was
passed June Is and eight days later
Singapore was reached. The entire fleet
stopped there and then sailed for the
Philippines on June %.

Try n Few seruh. First.

If you expect 10 start In the sheep
business and you have had no previous
experience with sheep 1t might be a
good plan TO begin with few scrubs
to get experience. Comparatively few
persons know very much about sheep,
hence the necessity OF beginning rather
cautiously. Pure-bred sheep. however,
pay much better profits than scrubs,
consequently just as soon as a person
, has secured enough experience to enable
him to handle a flock probably, he
should dispose of his scrubs and begin
raising pure-breds- What Is true OF
sheep is also true OF other farm ami
mails.

John d. Rockefeller, when informed at
Compeigne, France, where he now is, that
prosecutions of Standard Oil officials
were under way, said that he knew moth
ing of the doings of the oil trust as he
had been out of it for twelve years and
had not been in its offices in seven years.
He said the only reason he dreaded to
testify in court was because of the I'M
pleasant notoriety.
Details of the prosecution to be brought
were gone over at Washington Tuesday,
when it was decided to prosecute the trust
under the discrimination clauses of the
Elkins law and an old statute aimed at
conspiracy to commit crime. The bulk of
the work for the present will be in the
courts OF Buffalo and Cleveland.

sNAe FOR CHICAGO SHIP CANAL.
Congress VIII Not Appropriate the
Money Next Winter.

Money Next Winter.
Chicago's efforts to get the Drainage
Canal made a ship canal, connecting
the great lakes and the Mississippi,
will meet great opposition next winter
from Chairman Burton of the rivers
and harbors committee of the House.
As the committee now stands no ap-
preparation for that purpose will have
place in next winters bill. The COM
Tittee is willing, however, to appro-
pirate for the inner harbor of Chicago.
The ship-canal project will be opposed
by Mr.. Burton on various grounds, but
the most immediate one is that ina-
provements that have long been hang
ing fire must be cleaned up before it
can be seriously considered.
1t has developed that the rivers and
harbors committee has already reached
a tentative agreement as to the most
important projects to be dealt with
next winter. The lake regions share in
the bill is about settled The commit
tee proposes to authorize improvements
that will probably approach $4,000
600 and of this the lake region viii. get
about $15,000,000, two-thirds being au-
thorizations and the rest appropria-
tions.
The greatest lake improvement the
committee will urge is a third lock at
the Sault Ste. Marie to relieve csnges-
ton. This will be the most important
legislation for lake interests in recent
years. It's cost is roughly estimated at
S1O.OOO.OOO.

Average Daily Gain of Pigs.

The average daily gain Of some Of
the pigs exhibited at the last Smith
field show in England is given by a cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman.
The best gain accorded was that Of a
pair Of cross Yorkshire and Berkshire
pigs aged POI days, with a weight o:
40 pounds each; which, think, works
out daily gain since birth of 10
pounds. The next highest is that of a
large white pig 30S days old, which
weighed sos pounds, or a daily increase
OF 1.67 pounds. The pairs of cross
breds, which were in nearly every case
large or middle white YorkShires and
Berkshlres, appear to have made the
best daily gain, of nearly LAO pounds
per day; then came the large York
shlres with 1.30 pounds, the Berkshires
124 pounds, and in Tamworths (of
which there were only four pens, one
of these a pen under nine months old
which showed a gain of los pounds
only came next, with a daily gain of

Illegal Trust Can't Collect

The unusual contention that a trust has
no standing in court and cannot collect
for goods sold to a voluntary customer
was sustained by Judge Ryan in the Cir
cult Court at St Louis. This contention
was made by Joseph Il. Walsh, plumber,
who admitted that he had bought volun-
tarily $40 worth Of goods from the Ca
hill & Swift manufacturing Company.
Walsh alleged that this company was a
trust and that he did not have to pay any
more than he would have to pay a gam
bling debt. The courts decision was in
MS favor.
