Chicago, April 23.—The annual re port of Health Commissioner Ware was published yesterday and declares the general health of the city of Chicago has never been so good as at the present time. The water supply, he declares, is better than at any previous time of the city’s existence. Since January, 1890, to the present time, there has been a steady decrease in the annual death rate, and the rate is now lower than at any city in this country or in Europe which has over 500.000 inhabi tants. In 1891 the death rate per 1,000 was 22.20: for the mun’eipal year just closed the death rate, from all causes has been 18.23 and from natural causes has been 17.04 per 1,000. . FIVE WERE KILUID.

Miss Luther | had only worked in the factory a short 1 lime. She was tired of being around 1 I home and, beside, wanted more mon y | | for herself, than her parents could afford Ito allow her. So her father agreed to - let her go into the factory. Superin- I tendent Jerome Orcutt of the cartridge I works took an iutere-t in the girl mid set her at work in the shot, shell depart ment. Miss Luther has always been nervous ami excitable. When the young woman 1 entered the factory she held herself al off from the other girls, ami the others re solved to "take her down." They an 1 noyed her in a dozen ways and she told , her mother that the girls tormented her iso that she could not work. They would often stand around and laugh at her. ;advice of a physician the girl agreed io take a vacation. The girls guyed Miss Luther unnu (ifully when they heard of her iuteiuion. Tile shot shell department is a long 1 room which extends the entire length of the factory. As the shot shells are : made aud Idled they are packed iti big barrels. It Was evident from their ac-' ; lions when thy noon whistle was heard ou Monday last that the girls had some scheme on £■■ it. They took particular pains to shove their stools far under the tables and to clear out the long aisle. 1’1";; they gnihered around Miss Luther, ' who bad opened her lunch basket. "t>b, isn't she uppish’.'” said one. “She won’t associate with us,” sneered . another. We ain’t good enough for her,” said a , third. "Go away and let me alone," begged Miss Luther. l!ie girls only laughed and one li ’i tcd. "Let's fix h !• now.” "H im; .i.e barrel over." ciie i out another, ami i o girls began to wheel one id the i"-avy cartridge barrels over. “Uli. what are you going to do?" cried i the girl. “We’ll show you,” shouted the others, : id U-S th.' girl started to run, Bridget Hurns, 20 years old, ->i Guil d and Arc ■ l»«- str.i'i; and Noraii Gilbert, 21 y sirs oi l. of Gik!

"Oh, yes, we'll let you out.” said Miss Bu-.'.is mid Miss Gil :..-r: t'.'giilier. and then they dumped the i b. rr.i over and began to roll it down tiie long n:-le.

A Consultation Was Held Late Last Night. It Was Thought that the End Will Come in 43 Hours. New York, April 23.—There seems to be little doubt that Edwin Booth is in a very serious condition, in spite »t the reassuring .statements of physieimis. Dr. Smith said after his 5 o’clock call today that .Booth was better than he had been i »t anytime since his present, attack. Booth is «d.ill unable to talk. He recog- j nizes those about, him, however, and sleeps most of the time. ll'.s daughter, Mrs. Grossman, was with him today. At ihidnight Mr. Booth was reported fit the same condition as in which Dr. ; Sinclair Smith found him early in the evening when he made his final visit , to his patient. Although his medical at- i tendant pronounces Mr. Boelli some- i what improved, at the Player's Club it. ; is thought that bis recovery is doubtful. At l:3i> o'clock tonight. Dr. Ferdinand Smith and D,'. William Starr were called in and held a consultation on Mr. Booth's condition. The result of their conference was that the tragedian’s re- . eovery.was scarcely to be Hoped for and they were of the opinion that the end would probably come within forty eight hours, NEWS FItUM HAWAII.
