The Jeffris Bigamy Case.

Sacramento, July 20.-In the trial
of Geo. B. Jeffris to-day for bigamy,
Frank Miller, president of the ID. O.
Mills Bank, gave his testimony on
signatures. He testified that the
Jeffris signature on the register of
the Arcade Hotel and on the mar
riage license affidavit book of San
Francisco were written by the same
person. The San Mateo records
were produced, also with the sig
nature of Eugene G.. Jeffris on the
marriage license book. Miller said
he thought the San Mateo signature
was written by the person who signed
Geo. r. Jeffris in the San Francisco
books. The license book containing
Jeffris' name when he applied for a
license to marry Nellie Ely and also
the San Francisco license book bear
ng his signature were produced, and
the witness said he thought they were
written by the same person. On
eross-examination Miller said the
San Francisco signature showed
evidence of being forged. He sum-
med up by saying he believed the
three license signatures submitted
were written by the same person.

Down They Go.

Retrenchment in the expenses of
running the Comstock mines has be-
gun in dead earnest. At the annual
meeting of the Savage Mining Com
pany the directors on motion of At
torney w. S. Wood, made heavy
cut in the salaries of all officials.
Not one escaped. In some cases the
reduction amounted to 80 per cent.
The Superintendent of the NINE,
who had been receiving S4oo per
month, was cut down to 5000. The
Presidents salary, which had been
$3.50. was fixed at S125. The Scores
tary had been receiving $3.50. He
was reduced to 1925. The clerk at
the Virginia office was cut down
from 5000 per month to 500.
These reductions were voluntarily
made in the interest of retrench-
ment and to help along the move
ment for the general reduction in
expenses along the Comstock, in
Guiding transportation, wood, lum-
Der, water and other supplies and
miners wages.
At the same meeting the following
directors were elected by the Savage
Company: George II. Wells, Chas.
ii. Fish, Thomas Anderson, w. s..
Wood and Herman Zadig-the last
named in place of w. Z. Miles, one
of the old directors. George r.
Wells was appointed President,

The report of the health officer of the
District recently submitted to the Commits
sioners. brief summary of which has al
ready been published in The Star, shows a
gratifying decrease in the death rate OF the
District as well as a gradual increase in
the span of life as compared with the show
ing for preceding years. There are some
features about the report. however which
do not show up as favOrably as reports for
years past, and which should receive the
attention not only of the authorities of the
District but of sanitarians who are inter-
ested in the saving of life and the conse-
0uent Increase of longevity We refer to
the Increase of the number of deaths among
children under the age of one year. This
mortality among tnfants is always large in
all of our great cities as well as the great
cities OF other countries, it usually attain
ing about - per cent of the total number
OF deaths Of all ages and about CO % per
cent OF all deaths under five years of age.
The forthcoming report OF the health de-
partmeRt OF the District shows an unv,el-
come increase in both of these PERCENTAGES
over those of last year and also over the
averages for the past seventeen years
Especially is this true of the number of

II Ii comforting to hear Surgeon General
Wyman say that the past season has been
one OF the worst regards the prevalence
OF cholera that Europe has ever known.
The comfort comes not from any ghoulish
satisfaction in the sufferings of the people
on the other side, but from the reflex as
surance that we on this side have. to a
great extent. mastered the secret of keep
ing out the dreaded germ. Though the dis
ease was raging in many quarters of the
transatlantic continent, more widespread.
indeed. than for many years, only two ships
bearing cholera came to these shores. This
r. In strong contrast with the experience
OF the summer and fall of 1902, when the
disease was practically confined to Ham,
burg. and ship after ship loaded with in
lection came into New York harbor. The
credit then lay in keeping the foul visitor
out Of the country after it had reached our
doors, but this year the credit is greater,
for having kept 1t from leaving Europe.
This has been accomplished by means of
what may be called the duplex quarantine
system. whereby a scrutiny is kept on the
immigration at both ends of the line. BY
means of q corps Of efficient officers sta
toned throughout Europe, the intending
colonists were practically sifted, until only
healthy ones went aboard the steamers.
In the case of both ships that came to
this country with cholera, the disease de-
veloped after leaving port. showing that
when they sailed there were no surface in
dications Of the epidemic. While this proves
that there Is danger. however strictly the
lines may be drawn, 1t also demonstrates
that constant vigilance must be main
tained throughout the season on both shore
and ship. Meanwhile, the domestic quaran-
tine Is not to be neglected. and that inner
wall OF defence must be maintained strong
and invulnerable. In addition. the densely
populated sections must be kept clean, and
the inhabitants instructed in full knowledge
OF the dangers that come from filth and
carelessness. All these precautions are
absolutely necessary as adjuncts to the
guarantees. which can work alone for a
time but which are of no avail should the
disease once get toothold in the country
The experiences OF the past two seasons
are ripe with lessons. and. as the Surgeon
General says, We are learning more every
year.

considerably in excess Of the figures for
seventeen years past, the highest per cent
during that period being Ills in $780, While
the total number Of deaths has been re-
duced at the rate of nearly one for every
thousand inhabitants as compared with the
year 1892, there has been a considerable in
crease per thousand inhabitants of deaths
Of children under one year Of age. Various
causes have been ascribed for this condi-
ton. among them being the excessive heat
during the months of July and August.
1892, when the death rate among infants
was greater than ever known before in the
District, and the severely cold weather of
January and February of the present year.
1t Is evident. however. that other causes
have contributed to this excessive death
rate among our infant population and it
would seem to be . good field for effective
work on the part Of those who are inter-
ested in the health Of the city in investi-
eating and discovering the causes which
have produced these results and in apply
Ing the proper remedies. No doubt many
OF these deaths arise from causes which are
properly termed preventable, and many Of
them can be traced to ignorance on the
part of mothers and nurses. The absence
Of proper care and the use Of improper
food are responsible for many a death
among this class. and adulterated food,
especially adulterated milk, are important
factors entering into these results These
figures are especially significant when con-
sidered In connection with the number of
births. which have materially fallen of dur
ing the past year as compared with the
preceding, and this. too, in face of the fact
that the reports Of births are supposed to
be more complete than ever before owing
10 recent stringent regulations requiring
such reports to be turned In to the depart
ment. The report shows the number of
births for the year ending June 80, 1893. to
have been 4.45S. a falling of as compared
with the preceding year Of 1856 while the
number of deaths was $751; an increase
over the preceding year Of 354. being an
excess of deaths over births Of 894. 1t
would seem that In view of this increasing
ratio Of deaths over births more than or
binary effort should be made by the au-
thorities and those interested in the health
of the District looking to a decrease In the
number of deaths among our infants. The
Sanitary League. which has already given
some attention to the question of reduc-
ing the death rate among children. will
doubtless take special notice Of this par
ticular feature Of DR.. Hammett's report,
and should cooperate with the health au-
thorities In an endeavor to bring about
a marked Improvement during the present
year. Already there has been a considera-
BILE falling OF in the number of deaths
among children under five years Of age
since the first Of July. The effort should be
to still further decrease this average and
the prospects are good for materially re-
ducing the percentage OF deaths among this
class during the current fiscal year.
