Jefferson, Charles b. Yale's spectacle,
'sThe Twelve Temptations, will be seen
in it's new dress. This year Mr.. Yale has
repolished his piece for what is likely to
be its farewell tour, and.when it appears
here 1t will be almost new in it's galaxy
of pretty girls. in tinsel and paint, new
scenery from his artists studio and Won
derfuI stage devices-the product OF Mr.
Yale's ingenious brain. There have been
number of changes in the cast, which
are said to greatly enhance the spectacls,
while the ballots have been increased and
newly costumed. A strong feature of q

gar or suggestive conoeits. The sale of
seats will open at the box office next Sat
urday morning.

persons and 81 colored. The annual death
rate was 22.26 for each thousand of the
total population, that for the whites being

were an increase of in the deaths from
diseases of the nervous system, of . from
those of the heart and of 4 from those Of
the kidneys. There was a decline of > in
deaths from consumption, while these from
acute lung affections remained at 8. OF
the zymotic class there were fatal cases
Of typhoid fever, II of diphtheria and of
yellow fever
The death which occurred from yellow
fever on the 18th instant was the first ever
recorded from that cause in the District
of Columbia. The deceased was civil
engineer who had arrived at New York on
the steamer Allegheny on the 10th instan.

Infection was Port Limon, at which the
steamer touched en- the 7th instant The

called, and from the fact that the patient
had been in a country known to be infected
with yellow fever, and because of the seri-
Gus nature Of the disease and the presence
at that time of characteristic black vomit,
suspected the infectious character of the
malady and took proper steps to have IT
definitely diagnosed. Specimens of urine
showed the presence of albumen and no
casts, and an examination of the blood
failed to reveal any evidences of malarial
infection. The patient died about 2 o'clock
without having recovered consciousness.
