FIGURES SHOW
FEWER DEATHS
Fight Being Waged Against the
White Plague in a Great
Measure Successful.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The great fight
against tuberculosis is being won, &C
cording. to Chief Statistician Cressey L.
Wilbur, Of the division of vital statistics,
United States health bureau. In a bull
letin issued today bearing on the returns
of the deaths from the death registration
area of the United States. he says:
1T is probable that the great attention
that has been given to this disease
through the International congress on tn
berculOsis held at Washington in 1905. and
the organization of many state and local
societies has already begun to have its
effect upon the mortality from that dis
ease and a continued decline in the death
rate from it may be expected
According to the reports a disease Of
increasing Importance is pellegra, from
which % deaths occurred in 1908, but as
most of the deaths from this occurred in
the south, from which no records are re-
ceived, this figure does not represent the
mortality from this cause. Among the
rarer diseases, smallpox caused 80 deaths.
plague ), yellow fever 2, leprOsy II, and
rabies or hydrOphObia 81
The total number of deaths from all
forms of tuberculosis returned in 1903 was
1929, exceeding those of any previous
year of registration, but the death rate
per 10000 for 1903 is considerably less than
that for 1907. In all registration states
the deaths from tuberculosis showed a de
cline except in Colorado, Rhode Island
and Vermont.

She appeared to be a young woman
who, having once been seen, could al
ways elude a second meeting. In spite
of their confidence in being able to find
her at any time the best trained men in
New York and Pittsburg, as well as
many parts of Europe, failed to secure
the much-desired meeting.
The Herald-RepubliCan assigned cor
respondent to ferret out the famous wo-
man of mystery and gather from her
such details of her proposed undertaking
in this city as would properly balance
with the policy of The Herald-Repub-
Iican. and in the accomplishment the
correspondent has gone a few steps tar 7
Their than was originally intended, ana
has furnished The Herald epuolicah
with a graphic pen picture of the woman
whose remarkable achievements since
her arrival in this country have puzzled
the police and public in general.
Dolly DimpIes' Methods.
A careful analysis of the correspond
ent's interview will reveal to the aver
age thinker the feasibility of what, on
Inc surface, seems TO be an impOssibility.
This is particularly true in Dolly DIM
pies description Of the various metnodS
she has adopted at times to evade de-
lection in large gatherings, when her es-
cane seemed utterly impossible. Her
summing up of the police and detectives
with whom she has come in personal
contact in all sections Of Europe IS IN
itself worthy of attention to everyone
Interested in local protection as afforded
by the police in all large cities
Although the police of the metropolis
know of no reason why they should hunt
her M. the simple fact that she defied
their ability to find the person after hav-
ing met them face to face was more than
their pride could stand. All their eff
forts to learn her purpose or to olsen
tangle the mystery surrounding her past
proved futile.
People of Salt Lake will be given an
opportunity to get acquainted with DOL
" DimpIes." just as she will be given an
opportunity of getting acquainted with
the public of this city. 1t will be a
square deal the whole way around. BY
Monday it will be taken for granted that
fine readers of The Herald Republican,
rs well as Miss Dimples, have seen
enough of one another to give them some
thing to work on.
After having appeared in the midst OF
the people. Dolly will suddenly retire
from the calcium Of the public gaze. Her
retirement is only imaginary, for all the
time she will be going over the places
She visited before. Her appearance, or
course win be altered. This is done to
