HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT.
A Decrease in the Death Rate NOtwithstand-
ing the Cold Weather.

Decrease in the Death Rate Notwithstant.
ing the Cold Weather.
The popular idea that extremely severe
winter weather was deleterious to health would
seem to be an erroneous one, judged by recent
experience" says Health Officer Hammett. in
his weekly report of the operations of the
health Office for last week.
The very cold weather which prevailed DUR
ing last week does not appear to have affected
the health Of the people of the city in the least
unfavorably. On the contrary there was
decrease Of fifty in the number of deaths-that
is, from 142 to 92-as compared with the pre-
vious week, and the annual death rate fell
from 28.4 to 1874 In: each / 900 OF inhabitants
This difference of 100 represents a
matter Of twenty-six hundredths of decline in
the number OF deaths in a year. There was a
falling off of eighteen in the acute lung troubles
Ind Of nine in the fatal cases of diphtheria.
while typhoid fever did not cause single death.
OF all the dangerous contagious diseases there
was but one death from whooping cough,
and this was one Of complicated
character. The mortality among the
children was below the average. The only
class Of persons who seem to have been affected
unfavorably by the frosty condition of the
atmosphere was those suffering from consump-
ton, of whom seventeen died as against twelve
in the preceding week. The following tabular
statement Will give in detail the history Of
deaths dOings for the week ended on Saturday.

MAI. O'REILLY.s ASSIGNMENT.
Why the Order Was Suspended-Preser
Status of the Case.

Status of the Case.
The order detailing Maj. O'Reilly, surgeon U.
S. A., to this city has been suspended and not
revoked. The situation as stated by friend
of Maj. O'Reilly today is as follows:
Lieut.. Col. Heger obtained four months
leave last June. and Maj. Mosely was ordered
to take charge of the Office in his absence. In
October Secretary Elkins ordered Maj.
O'Reilly to report for duty as attending sur
geon in December. as Col Heger was put on
the retired list December 4. The surgeon
general was not willing to carry out the Secre-
tary's orders and asked for months delay,
which was granted. At the end Of that time
he still said he Could not find any one to take
Maj. O'Reillys place at Fort Logan, Colorado,
and the Secretary then, January 10. issued the
order suspending the original one, not revok-
ing it. Maj. Mosely is still the surgeon in
charge of the Office. and in the event Of the
order relating to Maj OReilly being carried
out, would remain in the same place, the two
surgeons dividing the work between them"
The above statement of facts differs in one or
two essential particulars from the following
official statement of the case obtained from the
War Department by STAR reporter today:
The character Of duty required OF the
attending surgeon at Washington has SO far
changed that for the past year only one medical
officer, DIR. Heger, was required for the pur-
pose. except during emergencies; until June 80,
1892. DIR. larrow. a civilian, was continued on
nominal duty because of his long service, but
was then discharged. In anticipation OF DIR.
Hegers retirement. December 4, 1892. DR..
Mosely was ordered to Washington as his
prospective successor. In October, two months
before DR.. Heger's retirement, the Secretary Of
War ordered DIR. O'Reilly to the place. In De-
cember, 1892, months suspension Of this order
was granted upon representation by the sur
geon general that DR.. O'Reilly was not entitled
to eastern duty, that his coming would neces-
sarily displace Dr. Mosely, and not only re.
feJsional ability, but also subject him to heavy
pecuniary expense, and that at the time he
could not find an officer of suitable rank to take
O'Reilv's place at Fort Logan. January 10,
1898, the Secretary suspended indefinitely the
original order. As the matter now stands DIR.
Mosely is the only attending surgeon in this
city. but if the original order should be carried
out he cannot remain on that duty"

What He Got for Stealing an Orange.

Policeman Robert N. Harlow, one of the
oldest members of the police force and an
officer who has made good record, is a little
disabled. and in order to tighten his labors in
recognition Of his good services he was de-
tailed at the Baltimore and Ohio depot, where
he would be shielded from tine severe weather
and also be able to do his duty. He has now
been there several months and has succeeded in
obtaining better order about the building where
SO many hundred persons have occasion to 60
every day. Frequently countrymen would
come in town and would then go to the depot
under the influence Of liquor and create dis
turbance while waiting for the train. All this
trouble has been stopped and now the officer is
looking after the persons who spend their time
loafing about there.
VIM Wilkins, q coored man, was arrested
yesterday and tins morning he was before Judge
Kimball for vagrancy. After spending several
days about the depot he appeared yesterday
and helped himself to an orange on the Union
News Companys stand. tts e

prisoner this morning. /,

which sentence the judge told him he had bet
