HEALTH DEPARTMENT,
Decline in the Death Rate During the
Past Week.

In face of the cold and changeable wealth
er. which prevailed last week, there was
a decided decline in the number of deaths,
as against that of the previous week. The
decrease amounted TO nearly - per cent,
and the death rate fell from 2l.7 to I7.5 in
that time. The Improvement was general.
There Were very many less deaths, COM
paratively, among both the aged over sixty
years and the children under five years
old. There was a continued absence of
fatal forms Of Contagious Diseases except
the six cases of diphtheria and of the va
riOus malariai ailments. The health of the
city is good and the present hyGienic con-
diti0nS are only q continuance of the same
favorable state characterizing the present
fiscal year. During the last year there
were four hundred and thirteen less deaths
than In the preceding year, and the returns
OF the fist quarter of the present fiscal
year show a falling off of one hundred and
twenty-eight UP to the first day of this
month.

OF with the ThPater HIT.

To The Editor of Tie Evening Star:
1 dare not hope-and yet, why shouldn' t
1t be? Haven't we for years patiently and
despairingly sat at the theater behind
studies in feathers flowers, ribbons and
lace and, in consequence of these works of
art, have seen about one-half of what
one has started the cry again, Down with
hats in 'front.'" and 1 cannot refrain from
expressing my appreciation of the idea. l
read A. c. Els letter in The Evening Star
of the 10TH instant with pleasure The
writer of it has not only suffered from hav-
ing his or her view INSTRUCTED by hats in
this country, but has Just returned from
Engiard, where, We are told, our English
cousins have a part of their theaters re-
served where no hats are allowed. ! can
conceive of no well grounded reason or
argument that could be advanced against
rule prohibiting hats in the orchestra
chairs, and | am very sure every theate
ssoer would hail such reform with delight.
ir there is any one who objects, let us
hear the objections, and il the noes are
silent the ayes have it,
Every well appointed theater has ladies'
dressing room, and if a lady wishes to
leave her hat there she can do so for a
small consideration, or she can wear a
scarf or small hat which she can hold in
her lap. l appeal to the women of Wash
ington, and ask them TO advocate this re-
form. 1t should appeal both to their sell
fish ana unSelfish nature; if this reform Is
adopted they will see better and will not
obstruct the view of others. Now let some
progressive Washington theatrical manager
start this idea, and beside placing himself
in the list Of phianthropists he will also
be the means of adding materially to the
beauty of the audience
