Partly the Board of Health Is To
Blame.
DIR. J. M. Hays, regarding whom
the LIGHT. mentioned that he had
filed a certificate of death for q
still-born child yesterday, with
name, street, number and parents
names blank, explained today that
leaving the name and street num-
Der blank was an oversight of his
which he has corrected today. The
child was premature but lived
several days. It Is the usual
practice for undertakers to fill In
the death certificates with name
age, street and number and ward
and the physician merely states
cause Of death and signs the record
aud 1t is then filed at the health Of.
flee. 1t is loose practice, OF which
many Of our medicos, other than
the doctor, are guilty. The or.
-dinance In the matter should
govern and it Is the board of health
that should insist on closer records
being kept of deaths. A record oil
births Is also a matter the board
should provide for.

from two to ten thousand dollars

None of them are paupers or de-

conditions that Louisiana is en-

DIR. J. B. Taylor died yesterday
afternoon at 8 o'clock in the San
Antonio Infirmsry, from blood
poisoning resulting from injuries
received June 3, on bis ranch in
Sutton county, by fall with his
horse.
He was alone when the accident
occurred, 80 miles from the nd krest
physician, and this distance he
rode in the hot sun before his in
juries were attended to. This
caused blood poisoning and as he
rapidly grew worse he was re-
moved to San Antonio, when his
shattered arm was yesterday am
putsted in the hope OF saving his
life, but all in vain.
His brother, John G. Taylor, of
Chicago, and his nearest friend,
Charles R. Brown, OF Galveston,
were with him when he died.
The remains will be taken to his
mothers home In East Bloom
field, New York, for burial.
He was so years of age, and
was born In Bristol, Ontacio coun-
ty, n. Y. He chose medicine as
his profession and was a shining
light in ITS practice in the Empire
state, being for nearly twenty
years member of the New York
City board of health.
From New York he removed to
Texas to engage in the stock bust
ness about ten years ago. He
owned several fine horses, and
with his brother was proprietor Of
a fine racing stable, among which
was Joe Patchen, the famous racer.
DIR. Taylor leaves no family, hav-
ing never married, and his mother,
brother and sister alone survive
him. He had q host of friends,
personal and political, was a
staunch republican and good citi-
zen for any country to be proud of.

Were Advised by Chamberlain.

London, April 28.-A report is circulat- ed and generally credited in the lobby of the house of commons that Colonial Sec retary Chamberlain advised the surren- der of Colonel Rhodes and his comrades to the legal authorities at Pretoria, and also advised them to enter plea of gull ty upon the assurance that the Pretoria authorities would treat them with lenien- cy. The opposition is framing a series of questions to be propounded to the gov ernment with the object of forcing them to make revelations showing precisely what part the English government has played in the affair.
 The Globe, in an article on the con- demnation of Rhodes, Hammond and the others to death, says. 'The news ab- sorbs the entire interest of the house of commons. The consensus of opinion is that the condemned men are in no real danger, but the feeling is unanimous that in the event of the contrary there must be war.
