! THE HEALTH OF OHESTElt
THE HEALTH OF OHESTElt I j MEDICAL OFFICERS REPORT. A LOW DEATH RALE. Tbe Jrl.c'i.al Officer of Haalth for Chester (Dr. j Kenyoii) in his annual report just issued says; — The populalion of the city within the municipal boundary, at the census of 1901 was shewing an increa.se since the previous census of 1,204. At j the same rate of increase, the population for the year 1902 would be 38,426. To obtain more correct birth and death rates, it was necessary to include in the calculation, the population of the woikiioust situated outside the municipal boundary, num^ bering at the census 526, making a total of 38,1)5.1 as the population of the city and workhouse lur 1WJ. The nuiuoer of birtilti belong- ing to the district, registered dining the year was 1,054, bein? 17 more than in the previous ye?r, and ? i,?;? ti?atier 6'U of the ten om; 181'2-?OL Twelve of the births occurred in the workhouse, T he birth-rate fcv the yearwa«27 05 pe! 1,(?U inhabitants. 'Yhe number of deaths of person beion?m? to the district tht occurred during the year was 044, which was 110 less than in L'Wl, and 7li less than the average for the 10 years, 18172-iWl. iihty-five of the deaths occurred in the workhouse. The death-rate for the year was exceptionally low- lti-53 as compared with l'J'4J for l'jui, and IS y the average for the 10 years, Iyy2-iy01. Dr. Kenyon gives the births and deaths, with the death-rate and estimated population, for the last 211 years, from which it appears that in 1&74 the population was oy.iMjo the births, 1,203 the (Iezttils. and the death-rate 25 26, while in ly02 the population waa "b,liJl; the lHrths were 1,054 the deaths 044, and the rate was 16.56. 1 he diminution in the mortality wa,3 almost entirely below tho age of 25 years and over the r.ge of b5, and most marked unoor one year of age arid betwoon hve years of age and 15 years of age. There was a small increase between one and five years. The deatlis from llot.fiable infec- tious disease that was, from iniYeuous casea-e more directly amenable to sanitary measures of Gnfcioii or ooiitro)-— vvoro few. iiioio Wt re but two deaths from scarlatina, one from diphtheria, and three from typhojd fovor. There weM 120111* from smallpox or typhus fever. Tne mortality from summer diarrhoea was much less tnan in previous year*; there were fewer drains from phthisis and oancer, and from iniiuenza; also from measles, whooping cougli, bronchitis, heart oisease and alcoholism. There were more deaths from accidental injury, and two from sui, lde. Tlie non-fatal of sc-ajlatma, dipnther.a and typhoid iever notilied during the year were also much fewer than in previous years. More than halt the cases notified- -56 per cent.—were removed to the Isoiatiou .Hospita.1. There was one case, of small-pox, which arœe cut of a visit to London. It was promptly removed to the Sijiaii-pc). Hos- pital. The other occupants of the house were ro- vacci, and a very thorough disinfection of tho pi onuses and destruction of infected articles followed, for which compensation was awlaxdcd. Ihe attention of the public, was at ttA- same time called to tho importance of re-vaccaiation, by means of handb.lis. which were distributed to every house in the city. In the result, several thousand persons uuderwent re-vaccination. The voluntary notification of phthisis canie into opera- tion early in tne- year. Twenty-two cases had been notified. Of had since died, and one had left the city. The houses liad been viated, cards of instruction left, and sa.,i,ta.,y -tine iid nts in- troduced where possible; and after the termina- tion of the cawvs, and also after deaths coming to light through the death returns, the premises had been thoroughly disinfected, bedding and other articles burned or disinfected, and r> piaccd where necessary. Good progress had been made during the year in rfic(-.tirig structural improvements in connection with the drainage of house premises, the pavement, of backyards and courts, .nd the abolition of ashpit*. The conversion of privies into water-closets was approaching completion; 4,231 had been converted since 1874. Ventilating shafts were being provided as required, to leheve or replace surface ventilators. House refuse and ashes wero collected and removed at weekly in- tervals by the Corporation servants; movable re- 1 oeptacles were* ut general use. The monthly analysis of water supplied to the. town had been continued with satisfactory results. Examinations of the water had bt^en made bacteriologicaily by Professor Boyce at weekly intervals, and were being continued. Samples were taken from each of tbe filters at the waterworks, as well as from the pure water tank, and of water as delivered to the consumer. This v/ns to enable aiin- failure in the efficiency of the Hi trillion to be discovered and traced to the particular filter at fault. The standard of filtration was well maintained until the second week in December, since when there had been, on occasions, some temporary falling off, to which the attention of the Water Company had been oailed. The- district where built over was sewered, and the sewers had been maintained in wo! king order. They were flushed frequently by means of a portable tank. With the excep- tion of Saltney (provision for which was under consideration), thi whole of the sewers were con- nected with the outfall works at Snaland. The sewage from the Isolation Hospital was lifted by compressed air actuated by electricity, and that from Queen's Park and Ilandbridge, after passing i under the river, by water power and electricity, j Opeflltions Wúro H ndive progress for construct- i ing the new works at the sewage outfall work- t dcs gncd for a complete system of punticatlOu, { Under the Food and Drugs Act, sample; were taken and submitted to the public analyst, Mr. W. F. Lowe, us follows:—Mrik 27, butter 13, cheese 4, table salt 2, pepper 3, preserved peas 5, coffee 1, damson jam 1, strawberry jam 1, rasp berry jam 1, marmalade 2, lime juice cordial 1. orange wine 2; total, 63. The milks were all genuine; as also the cheese, the pepper and the jam: The button were genuine, but one was of doubtful quality. The table salt contained a small proportion of adventitious substance—•sulphate of lime, and in one ease, sulphate of soda, fiom 2 to: 3 per cent- of each. The preserved peas con- tained less than l. £ grains of the, equivalent of sulphate of copper per lh, One of th samples of orange wine contained n grains of salicylic acid per pint. A prosecution was undertaken in this case, resulting in a penalty of £ 5 and costs. The oiher sample of orange* wine and the lime juice cordial contained relatively small amounts of salicylic acid. There had been prosecutions, and; fines inflicted with costs, for exposing for a,! rabbit and a fowl that, were unsound and millt, for food. Under the Factory and Workshops' Act, the. specially appointed inspector (Mr. W har- ton) reports that there, were 257 workrooms on the j register, which had been inspected w-th tne follow- iiig results:—Notices issued for lime-washing and sanitary defects 11, notices to factory inspector as to employment of women and girls 6 outworkers placed on the list 23, domestic workshops 20, ca?es ? of overcrowding dealt with 4. For the Shop Hours Act and Seats for Shop Assistants Act Mr. Richard Jones was inspector. He r: ported that 117 visits had biten. p«id. In all casej seats were j found to be provided for female assistants. In one case excessive l ours were found, and arrange- liiente made to prevent recurrence. In addition to those mention* d above, many visits had been paid to shops, wl.lc!: on enquiry were found not! '(0 come under the Act. the assistants being over the specified ag-n. or members of the family of the | shopkeeper. Ouch r th" Cana-t Boats Act, 10 boats had been added to the register in 1SC2, and 466 j were on tho regie r at the end of the yc-ar. The books in connection therewith were kept- to the | satisfaction of H.M. Inspector, who in ius report to the Local Government Board for 1901-1902 Hated that "excellent re-turns have brcn received" from Chester, and Chester was on the list of authorities who had made the largest number of inspections during tbe la-,t 12 yea.rs. Mr. Whar- 1 ton was the local inspector under the Act, and Mr. j Richard Jones TO his officially appointed assist- ant. Two huno:eti anil fifty-eight boats were in- i spected in 1602; of t hese fivo had no certificate. j There were two females over 12 improperly occu- pying, 30 boat- required paint ng, nine were dilapidated, and one ,vn.; deficient, in cleanliness. The complaints were dl remedied. There were 44 purveyors of milk whose premise:, were in the city. They had all been dub- inspected, and every effort m-ui-- U> keep them up to a high standard of clear.i.ries>. The bakehouses were k,-pt under supervision. Twenty-four of these were now provid- tl with femokeless ovens. In j several instances action had been taken in respect l j of the discharge of black smoke from trade and engine chimneys, with beneficial results.

I may acid, however, that the engineer is of opinion that, ruiighly speaking, the bridge could not be wide n d in the manner suggested for less than something like xla.OCO." After discussion, it was re?o?ved. Th'n the Town Clerk ? requested to inform the dob ? Ct.lmnjee that this CO!Hmittee I do not understand how so la-r?o an expenditure as .??,000 c?n be ?.!i-e?.ry, and think that what is required may bo effected at much less cost by pro- viding a 7ft. footpath (instead of a 10ft. footpath, as originally suggested) on oacti side (and outside the width) of t.he pr-lt hridge, either cantilevered ¡ from the bridge, or < arried on columns, and leaving the whole width <.V vhe presùnt bridge for carriage- way and request 'that .'he Jpint Committee will be good enough to sr.pjnj il sketch and approximate I estimate of the cost of doing this, when the question of whether the road authorities should contribute r any, and what portion of the cost ceai be considered

Chancellor Daniel Silvau ii,vaus, rector of Llanwrin, Montgomeryshire, for ow-r a quarter of a century, and all eminent elsli philologist, has died at the age of öG. Born m Caidiganshne m January, 1818, lie was educated at St. David's Cobege, Lampeter, where he was senior scholar, and was ordained in 1648 by the Bishop of Bangor (Dr. Christopher Bethell). in teiks lie received the B.D. degree from St. David's College. fie was Welsh examiner iu the college troni 1875 till 1S80, and professor of the Weish language in University College, Aberjstwitii, from 18/5 till 1853. He had been reeior ot Jjianwrin from lëïli, was a canon of Bangor from 1883 till 1801, pre- bendary of Llanfair in Bangor Cathedral from 18til till 1895, and chancellor from lHUi. J esus College, Oxford, elected fliiii a fellow, and for the last four years he had been chaplain to the Bishop of Bangor the University of Wales coniernng upon him the degiee of D.Litt. in ll'Ol. Ciiancellor Evans was the author of a large number ot works in Welsh, including an "English-Welsh DIctlOIHUj' in two volumes, a volume on Welsh orthography, several volumes of poetical works, and one on Welsh folk- lore. He was joint-autl)or with Mr. J. Henry I hilvan Evans, M.A., of a Welsh dictionary, and joint compiler and editor with the lalte bishop Lloyd of Bangor of a Welsh hymnal. BIBLE KNOWLEDGE L\ SCHOOL. I Some curious answers were given in the recent scripture examination organised by the South Bucks Sunaay School Union, accord- ing to the report, just issued, of the examiner, the Rev. F. Taveiider, of Marlow. The subject was the life of bt. Paul. Asked to describe Mars Hill, one of the young hopefuls described it as a place built for all religious .cases, in answer to the question, How did the jailer at Philippi know that he was a changed ittaii I" one wrote, Because he had put on different clothes," while another stated, "Because he had washed the stripes off his back." A third question was, "What took place when Paul and Silas went to Philippi V" and one of the answers was, They were told by the magistrates that they were teaching an upside-down relIgion." The earthquake was aescriIted by one boy as a "thunder-quake.' POOR LIVINGS. I AN OUTSPOKEN VICAR. I Writing in connection with the annual appeal on ] liehalf of the Carlisle Diocesan Clergy Fund in the parish magazine the Vicar of Helsington, near Ken- dal (the Rev. J. Whiteside) states that thenett value of his living is about £ 100. This is a most excel- j lent income for a cottager whose children are edu- cated free, who pays a rent of £5 with no repair: liabilities, who buys no books, who does no entertain- ing, who has no travelling expenses, who gets a new suit once 11l five years, who has no dignity or position to keep up. It may be said that the clergy might go into cottages and set an example of Apostolic sim- plicity and poverty. True, and many of us would have no objection if it were possible. But you put before us a big vicarage, with gardens and farms, and you tell- us to inhabit the one and keep the others in good order The condition of many of the clergy is very serious; the stipends are intolerable and impossible, and 1 for one very often seriously consider whether it is not my duty, for the sake of my family, to retire from holy orders. But such a step, though legal, is hard to contemplate, especially if one believes oneself to be called of God to the office and work of a priest in His Church. 1 write these words as one of the country clergy holding a benefice (so-called), not so much to my own parishioners as to a wider circle, and for other in- cumbents, who will endorse every word 1 say, but who have not the same audacity to write and speak plainly what they think."

BRAVE MAN LEARNS FEAR. AI
BRAVE MAN LEARNS FEAR. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE ON A CHIMNEY. I have carried out some daring jobs. It was on the Leicester Waterworks chimney that I first knew what fear was So spoke Alfred Garner, of 57, Borthwick-road, I)oke Alfr(A G. r o-, Hendon, an expert builder. "As you know," he went on, "scaffolding is erected inside and out of such a shaft, and the bricks are laid from within. When I looked from the top and saw Leicester lying below me, I grew nervous and dizzy, and bad to go home. I was ill. The giddiness arose frcm an attack of indigestion, and all treatment failed to restore me until Dr. Williams' pink pills were tried. At that time I had learned to dread the sight of food. Every little thing I took seemed to produce acidity. However light my meals, I used to feel as if a ton weight was on my chest. I grew extremely weak for want of food. Besides all this I grew very nervous. I thought I was going to die At last, when four doctors had had a. go at me, I read in it newspaper of a young- lady who had suffered almost exactly as 1 had. and had been snatched from the grave bv Dr. ,);iik pills for pale people. That afternoon I commenced itiv first ox of Dr. Williams' pink pills and I will swear bdore any judge in the land that if I had not commenced then I don't think I should have lived an- other week. That terrible feel- ing of dizziness and nervousness began to leave Soon I could eat a hearty meal wir-hout pain. I could enjoy a good night's rest, i and ny food, which for a long time did harm ilJste3.d of good, now nourished and sustained me. If you had seen me twelve months ago you ivould never have believed that I was the same nmn," Mr Garner concluded and his experience is that of many similar sufferers. It is the greatest mistake in tlie world to take purgatives for indiges- tion and bile no one was ever cured hy making himself weaker. Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people (the genuine pills have the full name on wrapper) cure by giving strength they euro araemia, bile, consumption, eczeuia. tits, gout, heart disease, indigestion, paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, and women's special ills. Dr. Williams' medicine com- pany, Holborn-viaduct, London, send one box for two and ninepeace, six for thirtc" n and nine. Mr. Gardner hopes to help in building many another lofty shaft like the Leicester Chimney, where ho tirsi learned fear.

NEWS OF THE WORLD. —-..0..-
NEWS OF THE WORLD. — .0 I At the Independent Labour Party's conference, in York, on Tuesday, Mr. Keir Hardie, M.P., sakl the Government was fa.ggtd out. There were indi- cations of a dissolution this year, and he advised the party to make arrangements accordingly. Transit duty on goods imported through Oape Colony for the Transvaal will be abolished after the 24th inst. The Transvaal from the same date will permit free admission of Cape goods, with the exception of spirits, blasting compounds, wheaten flour, and wheaten meal. The fourth international draughts contest between England and Scotland was brought to a conclusion a.t K ewcastle on Tuesday, and resulted in a victory for England. The final scores were—England 21 wins, Scotland 15 wins, with 78 drawn games. This is the;first time England has beaten Scotland. Dir ussion took place in Rome on Tuesday at the International Agricultural Congress on a motion advocating an agreement among the Powers of Europe for the imposition of differential duties on the products of the United States to the advantage of European countries. It was urged that a con- gress should be held to study the question of measures to be taken against trusts. Further con- sideration of the matter was postponed. Lord Balfour, replying on iuesday to a deputa- tion from the Scottish Anti V accination Society, who waited on him in Edinouiyh to ask for the extension to Scotland of the exemption trom prose- cution to conscientious objectors, held that it had been proved up to the hilt that vaccination was a great preventive of small-pox, and could hold 6out no hope of introducing legislation in the direction desired by the deputation. Mr. Chamberlain writing to a Birmingham corres- pondent says :-It is true the South Alrican war was caused primarily by the ultimatum and the invasion of British territories, but it is also true the war would never have occurred had there been a better understanding. if for instance Mr. Kruger had understood Britain's power if he had understood the stories of Continental assistance were untrue, and if he had ullder"tood that the Cape Colonists would not rise there would have been no war. At the Teachers' Conference at Buxton on Tuesday, Sir George Kekewieh was presented with a testimonial upon his retirement from the Board of Education. Sir Gecrge said he had received no thanks from the Education Department or the Government, whether because he was opposed to reaction or too friendly with the teachers he could not say. He was not sorry to leave the post of Secretary to the Board. Sir George advocated a national system of unsectarian education with a simple biblical instruction. To develop our education, ho said, we must improve the social condition of the people. The Spanish man-of-war Reina Cristina, the flagship of Admiral Montojo, which was sunk by Rear-Admiral Dewey in the battle of Manila. Bay, wa-s floated and beached on Monday. The skeletons of about eighty of the crew were found in the hull, mostly in the vicinity of the hospital. One oi the skeletons was evidently that of an officer, as a sword was lying by its side. There are fifteen shell holes in the hull of the Reina Cristina., one made by an eight-inch projectile, and the others by smaller guns. The main in- jection valve is missing, and it is, therefore, evident that the flagship was scuttled when Admiral Montojo abandoned her. The hull is in a fair condition. Commandant Couden, of Cavite, who has taken charge of the re-mains found on board the vessel, wishes to bury them with American naval honours, but the Spanish I residents are anxious to send them to Spain for interment.

ARMY AM) VOLUNTEERS. I -1 VOLUNTEER CYCLIST MANOEUVRES. I The cyclists of the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th Liver- pool (V.), the 1st Cheshire (V.), and the 1st R.G.A.V., who are taking part in a series of manoeuvres extending over the Easter holidays, left their respective headquarters on Friday morn- ing, and proceeded to Wrexham, where, the column were under orders to concentrate. Each unit acted independently, and beyond exercising the men in range-finding nothing of an important character took place en route. On arriving at their destination the sections were told oti to their respective billets, where very comfortable accommodation had been secured for them in ad- vance. After partaking of a hearty tea the men, with the exception ot tnose detailed for duty (all furnished by tne 1st Liverpool), were free to spend the evening as they tuougnt fit. Some very instructive and interesting exer- cises were carried out on Saturday. The column was divided into two forces, the 1st and 2nd Liver- pool (V.), with the 1st R.G.A.V., forming the "Blue" force, under Captain Giles klst Liverpool) while the 1st Cheshire ( V.) and bth Liverpool (V.) composed the "Red" force, under Captain Maurice (1st Cheshire). The latter were holding a line east and west througn Eliesmcre, and the objective of "Blue" was to got througii "Red's" lines so as to destroy the railway and stores at. NN h itchiirch. This task, however, the "Blue' force failed to accomplish. Both &-des gave a good account of themselves, and had the strength of the defeated force been commensurate witii the extent of the area they ha.d to cover perhaps the verdict of the umpires would have been more in their favour. Colonel A. F. G. Richardson, command- ing 8/40 regimental district, accompanied by an A.D.C., was present during the greater part of the proceedings, and took a keen interest in the work carried out The column, which is under the ootnmand of Major G: F. Allender (1st Liverpool), put up at Whitchurch over Saturday nigiit, where, the ar- rangements for their well-being were, as at Wrex- ham, again of a character beyond reproach. A distinct advance on previous years' arrangements is the fact of the men being supplied with a first- class hot dinner on tne conclusion of each day's work, and this is appreciated as much as it is deserved. On Sunday the column attended church service at Whitchuroh, on the conclusion of which the rector (the Rev, Mr. Egerton) expressed his high appreciation of the men s behaviour and of the very quiet and orderly way in which they entered and left church. After dinner the force returned to Wrexham, under very adverse climatic con- ditions having to ride against a strong head wind, with frequent showers oi hail and snow. On Mon- day morning the column left Wrexham and re- turned home, via Queen's Ferry and Birkenhead.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT NFAR BLACKPOOL—Shortly after nine o'clock on Monday night a railway smash occurred just outside Talbot-road Station, Black- pool. An excursion train from Oldham and neighbouring towns, not very heavily laden, started home at five minutes to nine. The driver, Aaron Hallon, of Stockport, misread the block signal to mean right away. He discovered his mistake too late to avoid dashing into the block, carrying the buffer seventy yards and overturning the tender and luggage-van. The driver was found dead at his post, wedged between the engine and tender. Stoker Ambrose Heap escaped with a severe shaking. Several passengers were injured and taken to the hospital. James Nichols, aged 36. of Neild-street. Oldham, sustained a scalp wound and sprained ankle. His son. Herbert, was found to be suffering from contusion of the spine. John Nichols, aged 69, of Sylvan-street, Oldham, was bruised, and suffered from shock. All were together, next the luggage-van. DISTRESSING Gcs FATALITY.—-A painful sensa- tion was caused in Valley, Anglesey, on Saturday evening, when it became known that John Price, aged 15, the only son of the Rev. David Price, the Vicarage, had accidentally shot himself while out rabbit-shooting in some fields attached to Cleitiog Farm, the residence of Mr. W. R. Pierce. It appears that young Price went out by himself about five o'clock, and shortly after- wards it is thought that he must have stumbled and accidentally fired his gun. The charge lodged in the right leg, just below the knee. The boy managed to reach Cleifiog, and Mr. Pierce imiiKidiately sent for medical assistance. Dr. Edwards, jun., was promptly in attendance, bandaged the injured limb, and applied restora- tives. Later on Dr. Edwards, sen., and Dr. T. W. Clay, Holyhead, arrived, and young Price was removed to his home. but despite the unremitting attention of the doctors he ne-er rallied from the shock and lo-s of blood. and died at 4.30 on Sunday morning. Much sympathy is expressed with the bereaved parents. Their son had come home for the Easter holidays from school in Surrey.
