Maryland Health Has
Been Better; Report
For 1888 Is Released

In spite of the depression, there was
less sickness from communicable
diseases in Maryland last year, than
for several years, and there were
fewer deaths in the State from all
causes in proportion to the population
than at any time since the records of
such matters have been kept in the
State. In commenting on the record,
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health said: "Last
year was particularly favorable to the
younger element in the population but
less favorable to those who have
reached middle age. There were 1888
births reported during the year in
comparison with 28,74O in 1892, but
there were fewer deaths among babies
under year old, in proportion to the
number of births, than at any time
since the State has been keeping the
records Of births and deaths. There
were 81 AGA births in the white popu-
lation and 6,169 in the colored. There
were 1,149 infant deaths in the white
population or approximately 81 deaths
under one year to each thousand live
births; and 644 deaths under one year
in the colored population or approx
mately 104 deaths to each thousand
colored births.
''There were 20,596 deaths from all
causes, at all ages of which 1886
were white and 4,750 colored. Consid-
ering these deaths in relation to popu-
lation, there were IL deaths in each
thousand of the total population of
the State, II in each thousand Of the
white population and II in each
thousand of the colored. These pro-
portions continue the decline that has
been evident during the past FIVE
years.
"There were encouraging decreases
in a number of important causes of
death. There were 1852 deaths from
tuberculosis, 149 less than in 1882;
/ 1885 from pneumonia in comparison
with 1,730 last year; 81 from typhoid
fever in comparison with 81 in 1882;
and 20 from diphtheria in comparison
with 81 last year.

Speed Of Telephone
Messages Has Been
Greatly Increased

Speed of telephone messages
throughout the Bell System has been
increased to such an extent that long
distance connections are now COM
pleted on an average of 81 minutes
as compared with Ill minutes ten
years ago, according to statement
found in the current telephone alma
mac now being distributed by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Companies in Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia and the District of
Columbia.
Telephone communication through
out the world is now available with all
countries having 100000 telephones,
with the exception of China, Japan,
New Zealand, and Russia, the alama-
nae shows.
One of the twelve historical events
in the history of the United States
which serves to illustrate the import
ance of communication is that a letter
was sent by air from Philadelphia to
Woodbury., N. j., January 9, 1888.
The distance was fifteen miles and
Jean Pierre Blanchard, French aero
naut, was at the helm of the balloon,
which was the first ascension of such
an airship in the United States. Blan-
chard remained aloft forty-five minu-
utes. He carried, along with other let
tiers, one from President George
Washington, calling on all citizens to
receive and aid him with that hu-

PLAN PLANE FIELD
OVER SHIP DOCKS
Airport May Be Built in Heart
of New York.

New York.-A plan for a landing
field. 800 feet wide by 1000 feet long
to be built 200 feet over the Hudson
river docks, permitting large ships to
dock beneath it, has been studied and
drawn up by L. Andrew Reinhard
Henry Hofmeister, architects. and
George ]. Atwell, foundation builder.
as solution to this city's airpor,
problem.
Commander Frank M. Hawks, flyer
who has given his ideas to the plan for
bringing New York's air traffic into
the heart of the city, solving the prob
lem of airplane landings ten to fifteen
miles outside of the city, says the
scheme is perfectly feasible.
Clarence Chamberlin, transatlantic
pilot and aeronautical consultant, has
conferred with Commissioner Howard
s. Cullman of the Port of New York
Authority, who said that such prof.
ect would be a distinct contribution to
the existing airplane facilities making
New York one of the worlds greatest
air centers.
John E. Ramsey. general manager
of the Port of New York Authority,
and Glenn s. Reeves, port engineer.
also have studied the proposal with
Chamberlin.
The plan calls for series Of mag
nificent dock structures some 200 feet
high topped by the landing field. The
entire project would be a combined
shipping, rail and airplane center and
would be self-liquidating.
1t would obtain revenue over a pc
riod of years to amortize the costs of
construction and the interest thereon,
not only from fees from the many air
services and shipping lines that would
make use of it, but also by containing
within its gigantic piers rental-yield-
ing offices for exporters and import
ers. bonded warehouses, storage de-
pots and even Cor manufacturers Of
various types who would be able to
land their goods directly upon steam
ers for Europe and South America
without the expense Of transferring
them through the crowded streets to
the piers.
The proposers of this project hope
to submit it at an early date to the
city and federal authorities. No OBJ
structions of any kind will be built
on the surface. it being free and clear
for landings day and night.

A passing tourist car in Gibson
City, stopped on Route 9 by a freight
train, detoured by dirt road over q
rough Nickel Plate crossing; the rear
trunk bounced open, losing few Of
its contents, which were picked up
by passing citizen, says page one
story in a recent issue of the Gibson
(Ill.) Courier.
The next day came letter from
the tourist, en- route through Iowa,
enclosing stamps and asking the Cour-
Ter to advertise for the missing ar
ticles, which were brought to the
newspaper Office within three hours
after the paper was issued. The own
err lived in far away Las Vegas, N.
NJ, and a letter came several days
later expressing appreciation of the
Courier want-ad service.
Most valuable of the lost articles
were two tiny toys, one little bench
and the other a wee cradle, both Of
wood and stained red. On the bottom
Of the bench was written in ink:
"Mary Ann Seidner, born 1859; 1885,"
Three-quarters Of century ago those
little toys were priced possessions Of
Mary Ann, who little later was call
ed by the master to the land that is
fairer than day.
When Mary AIMS tiny finers ca
ressed those toys the great sweep Of
mountains and desert of the West
were but sparsely settled. New Mexi-
co was not admitted to statehood until
nearly a half century later. One can
conjecture that she might have lived
some place in the east and that these
trinkets Of a bygone day were picked
up this summer by members Of the
family who were lured north by A
Century of Progress.
