ing her practicing without being regist-
cred.
DIED FROM COMMISSIONS.
DR.. Roberts testified from his exam
ination that the child apparently died
from commissions, but there was also
remote case of death. In question:
ing Mrs. Geble regarding a case on
Fourteenth street where the patient
died of sepsis, the woman admitted
having attended the patient, but said
death occurred after she had performed
her duties. Being further questioned,
she also admitted having attended
similar cases on Sumner and Garfield
avenues where death resulted
DIR, Roberts also testified to having
visited the board of health office and
there discovered four death certificates
of recent date signed by midwives,
none of which were refused, but since
the certificate Issued by Mrs. Geble
had been refused others had been
turned down. He was also of the
opinion that this illegal practice has
been going on at a wholesale rate In
different sections of the city and that
many interments have been made with
out burial certificates at all.
After due deliberation the jury re-
turned the following verdict:
I'VE, the undersigned, after hearing
the evidence at the coroners inquest
In the case of Mary Harmon, aged 13
hours, believe that the cause of death
was due to traumatic injury in and
about the rectum and we further agree
that the practice of midwifery by un-
educated and unlicensed people be con-
demned.

l.. II. Gibbs, owen d. John, Lewis
Smith, Joseph II. Gray.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of County Detective Leyshon
and in all probability all persons prac-
ticing without being properly regist-
cred will be prosecuted

GREAT BURLEsoUE COMEDIAN.
He Will Be with Vests Minstrels
at the Lyceum Tonight.

William Henry Rice, the great bur-
lesque comedienne, who has been in
duced by William II. West TO return to
the stage after an absence of some
years, and join his Big Minstrel Jubi-
lee, is generally regarded as the best
burlesque impersonator of female char
acter on the American stage. 1t has
frequently been said of him that he is
to negro minstrelsy opera what Patti,
Melba and others equally gifted are to
grand opera. He has a rich soprano
voice and is unquestionably the best
prima donna who has ever appeared
on the minstrel stage.
A well-known fashion writer recently
described one of MI Rice's elaborate
gowns as follows: "Underskirt Of
cerese-colored gros imperial silk,
trimmed with several rows of thread
lace, headed with a very full ruching
of corn-colOred silk, placed diagonally
across the front. Tunic of corn colOred
silk, Vandyked around the edge, points
trimmed with black lace and a tOrsade
Of the two shades combined. Black
velvet sash grcefully loOped on the left
side with a bouquet of wild flowers.
Corsage pompadour, of corn-coloreG
silk with cerese ruching and garniture
of wild flowers. Coiffeur of wild now-
ers and iewelled diadem.
Mr.. Rice will wear entirely new
gowns at his performances this season,
which will undoubtedly be the richest
ever worn in connection with a min
strel show. He will appear with w.
