The number of death cer- tificates flied was 15,980, as compared W with 17,465 for 1907. Every month of last year showed a lowar mortality record than the corresponding period for 1907. Doubtlcss the Industrial do? ‘presslon, by stimulating economical habits, and by causing litany Immi- grants to return to their native coun- tries, was an Infinenru in reducing the death record. Gov. Fort. of New Jersey, makes some radical recommendations in his annual massage. chief of which, both 9 In the Iniportnncc ot' the topic and the ‘ ,Ic‘ngth of the argument he gives to it. is public ownership of the state’s wat- ‘_,cr snarl-c. He. thinks that a. water- ‘supply. commission should be created by the state, to take over all the cx~ ‘ istlng water sources. so that all may be placed directly under state coir trol. Tile governor also recommends a publIcAutilitIes commission, with rhtomaking power. CHRISTIAN GOSPEL 1N THE EAST. Rev. 3. Stella, of Peking, Heard In. v south Nor-walk CongregatIOnai Church. Yesterday the congregation of the Smith Norwalk Congregational Church listened to an unusually strong and ‘ .1 illuminating address on The Christian Gospel in the East. by Rev; i'i. Stelle. of Peking, China. , Mr. Stellc showed how the Iniluenco‘ of the Gospel was extending so that it influenced the civic and national life of Chills. it was being used in all great humanitarian interests. Mr. Stellc explained the antagonistic attitude of tho Chinese towards for- eigners by' the fact that in years and it .‘passed. China had greatly suffer" 6? at. the hands of foreign' nations. They are now, however, beginning to discriminnto between their friends and their foes and are feeling more kindly towards America In particular. Mr. Stella gave an interesting ex- planation regarding the charges of Mark Twain against ltcv. Ament, of the North China Mission. Owing to an ‘error of the tclcgraphcr. it was stat- ed that Dr. Ament had exacted an ilr demnity from the Chinese of 13 times the amount of property destroyed. As a matter of fact, it should have read 1-3 of the amount instead of 13 times the amount. It was on the basis of this error that Mark Twain made. his severe attack on Dr. Ament, who just recently died. Mr. Stclie was asked, yesterday morning, whether Mr. Clem- ens had ever made any retraction of his' erroneous statement and he answered that. none had ever appeared and at. least that Dr. Amcnt had never received one. Mr, Stelles' address was very differ- ent from the usual talk on foreign our lions and aroused very great interest. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
