Hammet, Health Officer, presents the following report for the week ending Oct., 6th, 1891: Number of deaths 96; white 4g, | colored 47. Death rate per, 1,000 per. anuum: white 15.0; colored 30.5. Total population 19,96, 35 were under five years of age; 20 were under one year old. and 17 0- ver 60 years. 25 of the deaths occur- ied in hospitals and public institu tions. The deaths by classes were as fol- lows: Zymotic 23; Covstitutional 26; Local 34; Developmental §; Violence 5. The principal causes of deaths were: Croup 1, Diphtheria 3; Con samption 13 , Diarrhoeal 5; Erysipe las 0; Typhoid Fever 2, Malarial Fever 5; Scarlet Fever 0; Pneumon- 1a 5, Cogestion of the Lungs 0; Bronchitis 1; Measles 0; Whooping Cough 8; Kidney Diseases 1. Men- Ingitis 0; Cancers 1. Birth reported 18, white males 21 white females,22, coloree wales, 16 colored females. Martiages report- ed 21 white, 7 colored. Still-births reported 2 white, 4 colored. The bealth of the city duriag the week eudivg Saturday, noon, was good. The number of deaths re- ported was 96, compared with 107 the week previous, and the death rate of children under five years of age fell from 4410 36 per cent of the total moitality. There seems to be no prevalent disease of any serious or epidemic nature. Miasmatic influences are less than usual, there having been no deaths from scarlettevr ereport ed for several weeks while those from dipbtheris are equal to, if not below,the normal. HOW TO MAKE MONEY. A man who is wise, carefal, and conservative, energetic, persevering and tireless, need have no fear of his fature, writes Henry Clews, the New York banker, in the Oc:ober Ladies’ Home Joural. But there is one thing. He must have a steady head, one that can whether the rough seaof reverses from which ne life is altogether free, and one that will not become too big when successes attends his efforts. Keep out of the way of speculators. Take your money, whether it be much or little, to one whose rep- uiation will insure you geod coun- sel. Invest your money where the principal is safe and you will get a- long, But dont forget the acorns. lt is from little acorns that great oaks grow. See that you begin a- right early in life. Save your mon- ey with regularity. By so doing, you will more than save your mon- ey, you will make money. — Paul J.

Dear GLARA: Your letter to the household Was no little surprise. You have returned from your vacation, no doubt, improved iu mind and body. [ have no doubt but that the social Season will be lively this winter, especially iu the household. Iwas greatly avused at your mention of the household abroad. T understand that Freach and Ger- man classes will be started this winter which will be attended by those who have the foreign fever. Trips to Europe are very frequent now, especially among the members of the household. My genial friend Wm. E. Matthews gave an excel- lent description of whathe saw abroad, which I found to be very interesting. The representative colored wo- men of this country will convene iu this city very shortly to resent the Insult offered them by the white wowen mhauagers of the Columbian World’s Fair. The white people of this country must think that we are all fools. I want them to un derstand that the colored women of this country are equally as qual ified to hold positions as important as they can hold. They have exe- cutiye ability which will equal any that they possess. Why then should there be so much prejudice against our race, whea we can do as much a8 those of the more for tunate race? It is boped that when this women’s conference meets in this city that the citizens will give the members of the con- ference a cordial reception. Asa race we are too timid to resent a wrong. Weare too mach divided among ourselves. We are more like informers. We like to talk too much of our business to our eue- | mies. Until we learn how to respect each other and to support our own institutions so long will we be kept in the back-ground. 1 have had lled to my notice @ propose organization of servauts association.

An Awkward Mistake Which Ex@ited « Railway Traveler. A man went to a certain railway station in New Jersey to buy a ticket for asmall village named Morrow, where a station had been opened only a few days previously, says Youth's Companion. “Does this train go to Morrow ?” asked the man, coming up to the office in a great hurry, and pointing to a train on the track with steam up and every indi- cation of a speedy departure. “No; it goes to-day,” replied the ticket agent curtly. He thought the man ing to be funny,” as the say- “But,” rejoined the man, who was in pg hurry, “does it go to Morrow to- lay?” “No, it goes yesterday, the week after next,” said the agent sarcastically, now sure that the inquirer was trying tomake game of him. “You don’t understand me,” cried the man, getting very much excited as the engine gave a warning toot; “I want te go to Morrow.” “Well, then,” said the agent sternly, “Why don’t you go to-morrow, and not come fooling around here to-day? Step aside, please, and let that lady approach the window.” “But, my dear sir,” exclaimed the bewildered inquirer, “it is important that I should be in Morrow to-day, and if the train stops there, or if there is notrain to Morrow to-day——” At this critical juncture, when there was some danger that the mutual misun- derstanding would drive both men fran- tic, an old official happened along and straightened out matters in less than a minute. Mr. Dowsell’s Wedding. Back in the last century the following circular, which is probably the queerest marriage announcement ever recorded, ‘was current in Cumberland, England: Matthew Dowsell, in Bothell, Cumber- tand, intends to be married at Holm church, on the Thursday before Whit- suntide next, whenever that may hap- pen, and to return to Bothell to dine. Mr. Reed gives a turkey, to be roasted; Edward Clementson gives a fat lamb, to be roasted; William Elliott gives a hen, to be roasted ; Joseph Gibson gives a pig, to be roasted; William Hodgson gives a fat calf, to be roasted. And in order that all this roast meat may be well basted, do you see, Mary Pearson, Patty Hodydon, Mary Bushby, Molly Fisher, Sarah Briscoe, and Betty Porthouse give each of them a pound of butter.

The box is about two feet and a half long and two feet high and is mounted on casters. The bx any carpenter can manpage. It is lined through with substantial cotton reps of a glowing toned yellow. The shoe pockets are of a warm material bound with bra d of the same or slightly darker tint, and are fastened op all around the inside with brass headed nails, This wil: give pockets for ai least ten pairs of fect cove s- siple aud in plain view. The lid is light stuffed and is covered with a gor: in yellow and whitecottona upholster ing. The stuff is put on plain and a flounce of deep cotton lace, that imitating oriental lace through which runs a cord is preferable This Jace overlays the stuff beneath, leaving an oblong panel on top and is fastened down with a heavy, yellow silk cord. The box proper is covered with the upholstery mate rial. First in a bias puff a finger and a balf deep fastened down with a silk cord. Below this falls a deep flounce of the lace over the yellow, or a flounce of the material may be substituted if more convenient. Of course any colors or materials may be subs'ituted. In any case the box shuld harmonize with the dominating colors/fthe room in which t is placed. Subscribe to the BEE.

Unfortunately, the world is without any record of the wedding. its whether Mr. Dowsell’s plan of app ing the day before he had chosen a bride wedding at all. A discovery which will prov mense interest to ethnologists has b made at the little han.let of Sir Mexico, within the past few days while breaking ground for a large co(fee plan- tation, which is being established by an English syndicate. The find consists of thousands of skele- tons either of large apes or of prehistori human beings of a very low order. ins are of apes they were of gi- gantic nd of a variety no longer ex- tant, while if they are of men the men were provided with distinct caudal ap- pendages, very thick and short, and curled up like asquirrel’s. That they are the skeletons of apes can hardly be doubted, judging from the arms, which reached nearly a foot below the knee, and the thumbs, which are also abnormally iong and curved, with exceedingly sharp and powerful nails. The feet, too, show that they were in- tended for climbing, rather than walking, and are also provided with claws and preliensile toes of unusual length, It is probable that the large number of skele- tons found is due to a battle between two bands of the animals having taken place at this spot, which is further proven by the number of broken skulls and other bones among them, and the fact that sev- eral of the skeletons were found in a deadly embrace. No weapons, however, were discovered, but as these were probably of wood, they have perished in the course of time.— Philadelphia Times, Power of the Modern Rifle. In the camps in the Sioux country last winter I was talking to the best shot in the United States Army, and we sawa horseman far away. He wasa speck. I asked him if he could hit him. He re- plied: “I could kill him sure if he would not run until I got his range, and 4f I waited until he came within a known range I could be sure of him.” It was perfectly startling. I was once riding with a little troop of cavalry and the offi- eer and I were talking about shooting. To elucidate an idea he turned and sud- denly dismounted three men, telling them to fire five rounds apiece at a black abject across the canyon, and to do it quickly, The men dropped on the ground and poured 15 shots into the rock or stump, whatever it was, at an un- known distance, and they hit it over and over again. I think it was about 700 yards, and we could see the bullets strike in the sand. The frightful possibilities of a modern rifle in the hands of experts are not too well understood. Add to that the thin mist of the smokeless powder and the ceaseless crash of the magazine, and then think twice about your battalion drills. -—Frederic Remington, in Harper's Weekly. J. . Ceoiidge HARNESS ATTACHMENT Patented November 137H, 1888, J. S. Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the market. It Secure it to any harness, in three is so arranged that any one can minutes, without cutting th same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off th harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitch- ing and unhitching as a horse ean be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. lt is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is re- movable secured so as to allow wora. The particular advantage ers Consists in the construction of the spring to be removed when this device possesses over oth- the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as hasbeen heretofore necessary in order to use devices of this character. _ To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be- ing connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a- side and release the animal trom the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch @ horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. ———————— DR. CURTIS IN THE WEST. | WHERE TO BUY THE BEE. Wuat He Inrenps To Do, Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1, 1891 To the Editor of Tue Bee: I am at Lincoln to-night the beautiful Capital City of Nebraska. What an array of facts crowd themselves upon me as I look out from the window of the hotel upon the Capital building in full view surrounded by a beautiful lawn and | stately trees. My mind reverts to| the historic events which signal-| ized the admission of this state into the Union. The political crime of the century, the repeat-ot the Mis- souri Compromise is remembered with shame. Tie stalwart ferm of the immortal Charles Sumuer rises before me ashe takes his Place in the Senate and with matchless eloquence argued against ihe consummation of this crime in ‘hat memorable speech “the crime against Kansas.” If these plains had been given up to slavery and it bad continued until now how different would everything be. But tue valor and patriotism of the liberty loving people of this coun- try dedicated it to freedom. I must not, however, dwell too long on this line of thought. 1t was my purpose when I started this letter to give your readers a discription of this country. Omaha the metro- polis of the state isa magnificent city. It bas more paved streets than any other city in the country except Washington. Her business houses are much better than those in Washington. One of the most enterprising colored citizens of Omaha is an old Washingtonian in the persons of Hon. Millard F. Singleton. He is Government store-keeper and owns an elegant residence. Heis very highly re- spected. It has been my pleasure since L left Washington to travel all over the State of Nebraska and some parts of Wyoming and Coiora-} do visiting Cheyenne the Capital of Wyoming and Denver, Col.! While in the latter city I was the | guest of Mr.. Geo. S. Contee an old Washington boy, I shall al- ways remember the hospitality ex- ten“ed to me by him and his excel- lent wife. The crops throughout this whole country are fine and the people are all happy. 1 have seen some lands on which an hundred bushels of oats have been grown to the acre. If some of our folks from the South would come out into this country in| afew years they could become prosperous farmers. Lands cau | now be bought from ten to fifteen | dollars per acre that will be worth fifty dollars in five or ten years. I have decided to locate in| Omaha, Neb., to practice medi | cine. I will come East by tie 15th, | of October to accompany my wife | and children to Omaha their future | home. Yours truly, > J. W.
