DEATHS.

DR.. Smith Townsend, Health
Officer, presents the following re-
port for week ending June 20, '9l:
Number of Deaths, 140; white
81; colored SO. Death rate per
1000 per annum; white 24.8; col
ored 80 8. Total population 29.1.
e were sas+55s gRds; SsagS4F' ssr old, d. and and
20 over so years. "a of the deaths
occurred in hospitals and public
institutions The deaths by class
es were as follows: Zymotic AZ;
Constitutional q; Local SO; De-
velopmental IA; Violence 4. The
principal causes of death were:
Diphtherla 3; Consumption 6;
Diarrhoeal 80; Typhoid Fever 1;
Pneumonia 7; Congestion of the
Lungs 1; Bronchitis 3; Measles 1;
Cancers ?; Meningitis 3; Kidney
Diseases 2. Births reported: %
white males. q white females; II
colored males, Is coIored females.
Marriages reported. 81 white and
4 colored. Stillblrths reported:
3 white no cOlOred.
The number of deaths increased
during the past week to 14O, as
compared with SO for the previous
week, and 121 for the correspond
ing period of last year.
The excess may be attributed
malnly to the mortality among @
children under five years of age,
of whom 66 were under one year
old. Cholera infantum caused 30
OF these deaths, the average time
of whose sickness was about 81
days. This disease usually makes
its appearance in this Dist let
about the last of May, but owing
to the cool weather during the
present spring, the outbreak this
season did not occur violent
form until EabOut the middle of
June. II generally progresses to
lis climax In July, when it grad
ually declines to its normal Ter
centage at the last of September,
or wholly disappears for the wear.
lts intensity depends greatly, if
not wholly upon the degree Of
tempera ure aud the humidity of
the atmosphere.

WHO HAD COOK APPOINT
ED?

The article in the Sunday Ga
zette, relative to the appointment
of Mr.. John r. Cook, as one of
the District Assessors is rather
anus ng. The BEE was informed
from a very reliable source that
Recorder B. K. Bruce had Mr..
Cook appointed and the BEE is of
the opinion that the statement, it
made sometime ago to hat effect,
is true, notwithstanding the state
ment of The Gazette. While the
editor of the BEE is thankful for
the complimentary reference the
editor of the Gazette made relative
to him, it is untrue that his ap-
pointment was made with any
understanding, expressed or impli-
ed that the administration was to
get the two delegates from this
city. In fact the administration is
not taking any interest at all in
District politics, that is to say, so
far as the election OF delegates
from this city is concerned. While
that is fact, there is no reason
why the administration should not
have the solid delegation from
this ciIy.
While some other man, other
than MIR. Cook should have been
appointed one of the Assessors,
it cannot be said that Mr.. Cook is

of everybody Johnson's pay has
been Increased from SIS TO one

reported that johnson now states,
that his friend r. W. Tompkins

Mr.. Tompkins has saved johnson

THE NEW HEALTHOFFICER

The appointment of DIR. Ray
burn, Health Officer of the Dis
trict, is one of the very best
appointments that has been made
by the District Commissioners.
DR.. Rsyburn is one of the most
learned physicians in this country
and man of national reputation.
This appointment meets the undi
vided approval of the District
Republicans and the medical
fraternity of this county.
No man is more highly thought
of than DIR. Rayburn; no man can
better fill the position of Health
Officer and give greater satisfaction
to the people than he will.
Doctor, here is our hand-shake.

A REFORM MOVEMENT.

In every state or county there
have been political reforms inau-
gurated which have resulted in
great good. In no city in this
country is there greater need of
reform than in this city. The
Young republicans throughout the
city, are contemplating a move
ment in this direction. Until the
citizens, democrats as well as
republicans put their shoulders
to the wheel and inaugurate
certain reforms that will tend to
restore the right of suffrage,
nothing will ever be accomplished.
The young republicans are
requested to take into considera-
ton such a movement.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
THE CLASSIFICATION OF EXHIBITS.

The state expositions at Raleigh
N. c., and the one to be held at
Wilmington, DEL, it is alleged
will outline a tangible plan for
the collection of our exhibits. for
the Worlds Fair of 1898. The
information recently sent out to
the effect that the Bureau of In
stalla;ion of the Worlds Columbi>
an Exposition would take charge
of the classification and placing
of all exhibits has had the effect
of removing from the minds OF
many the doubts relative to the
exact policy to be pursued to-
wards our intending exhibitors by
the Exposition management.
1t Will be of interest to all to
know that this will be done at an
early date, as the peculiar discus
sions of the separate exhibit
question, which was misunder-
stood by many, would have event
ually been the cause of an entang-
lement of the whole subject, det-
rimental to all concerned. Sec

JACKSON AND CORBETT.
JESSE K. ROY IN THE POLICE NEWS

Mr.. Jesse K. Roy, the most en-
terprising sporting writer in this
country has this to say in the IL
lustrated Police Ne,US:
"Sorrow deep and unfeigned
pervades the household of Ham
at the National Capitol at the fail
ure of their representative to dis
pose of the championship bee in
Mr.. Corbett's bonnet. [ could not
believe, as the Crank on Fighters
evidently did, that in encounter
z.lllsvn task of MAGNITUDE. H.rd'
in this opinion did not forget that
some of he best judges considered
Corbett prodigy. The fact that
Corbett was at the last a two to
one shot in the betting in San
Francisco, indicates, l think. that
there was no unbounded local
confidence in his much belauded
clevernes8. [ believe that with
equality of condition jackson,
with the physical advantages of
weight and reach on his side,
should have won, and the more so
since, in the matter OF ring expe-
rience, Corbett was C 'mparitively
a novice. Why. then didu't Jack
son win. For the reason that the
same self-ipdulgences that have
made Sullivan hardly less notori-
Gus as a rOysIerer than he Is fa--
nous as lighter, have fastened
themselves as habits on jackson.
There Is no reason why jackson
should lose prestige by the out
come more than Sullivan did bv
his affair with Mitchell, but
American pride in Sullivan sus.
tanned him as world beating
champion in the estimation of his
OWL countrymen when English
men, after taking his measure
from the Mitchell fight, had put
him down as greatly overated
man. In SulIivan's case, the
Mitchell affair was merely a tenn
porary eclipse of SuIIivan's home
repute for invincibility. In Jack,
sons case it is, however, virtual
defeat for him IN American esti
nation that be did not vanquish
Corbett. Stories of Jackson's
bibulous tendencies or other de-
bllltating indulgencies were not
common before he went to Eng
land. Now they appear with ap-
palllng frequency, and if the facts
have been as stated, jackson has
received timely notice in his non
success to call halt on his habits
and avoid the level which is the
ultimate end Of the besotted pugi-
list. He had chance of wider
reputation when be met Corbett:
he may have another, but he
should realize, in the ligh of
events, that his chief foe is of his
own household-his lack of self
restraint in the face of tempta.
