REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS.
Health Office Adopts New Regulation
Regarding the Records.

The health department Of the District is
about to add a feature to the registration
of births which will, it is expected make
such registration more nearly complete
than 1t is at present The law requires
every physician and midwife attending. as
sisting, or advising at the birth of any
child to report such birth to the health de-
partment within six days. but in view of
the fact that the health department has no
knowledge Of the births of children other
than such as are in fact reported, it is
practically unable to take active measures
to enforce compliance. The parents of
children born, and interested friends or
ne:ghborS, are either unaware of the exist
ence of such a law or not informed to
whether it has or has not been complied
with, so that 1t is seldom that they bring
the matter to the attention of the health
department with the view to securing prop
er registration.
Beginning with February 1 the depart
ment will send to the parents Of each child
whose birth Is recorded an official notifica-
ton that such record has been made. It is
believed that in this way the public will
become better acquainted with the require
ments of law relative to the registration of
births and that interested parties will see
that the physicians and midwives who have
been employed by them in case of this char
acter make the record which they are re-
quired by law to make.
The Importance of these records is shown
daily by applications for transcripts from
the records of births many of which the
health department is unable to furnish be-
cause of neglect on the part Of physicians
and midwiveS to make reports in connec-
tion with applications for pensions and in
insurance cases, and in order to prove par
entage in cases in which this matter is in
volved in courts Of this country and Eu-

Street Lighting Service-

Walter G. Allen, the electrical engineer
has submitted statement to the District
Commissioners concerning the street light
ing service in lexington and renewing his
recommendation, made several years ago.
that gas lamps be substituted for the in
candescent electric lamps now burning Mr..
Allen says that for a number Of years prior
to July l, 1897, lexington was lighted by
about 100 incandescent lamps, erected at
private expense. From that date the Dis
trict assumed maintenance, but it was soon
discovered that the service wassunsatisfac- G.
tory, the lamps often burning low and
going out.
Mr.. Allen says that, acting upon his rec
ommendation, the Commissioners in All
gust, 1897, ordered that these lamps be
changed to gas lamps. Before the work
was undertaken. he says, a protest was
MED by the North Capitol and lexington
Cltlzens Association against the proposed
change, resulting in withdrawal of the
order Mr.. Allen says the service is yery
unsatisfactory STILL He therefore reneWs
ms Recommendation that the service be
changed to gas lighting, giving a list of
nights during the past calendar year when
the lights We're out. This list shows from
- to 1o9 lights out on twenty-seven nights
during the year.

The work of the signal corps of the army
was the subject Of an interesting address
delivered Saturday night by Gen. A. w.
Greedy, chief signal officer, before the
Junior Congress Of America. Especially in
teresting was that portion relating to the
construction Of lines of communication
while under fire, and the daring exploits Of
these intrepid aids to the army were loudly

Gen. Greedy spoke Of the work accom-
plished by the corps in the Philippines and
also Of the difficulties encountered with
the Filipinos who chop down the telegraph
poles and carry Off large quantities of con-
per wire. He stated that there is at present
about $500 miles of telegraph and cable
lines in operation in the new possessions.
and that thirteen out Of the fourteen larger
islands are already connected with tele-
graphic communication.
Gen. Greedy also gave a brief account of
the work of the signal corps In the Chinese
campaign, and in conclusion paid a glow
ing compliment to the work Of the depart-
ment in the Island Of Cuba.
Announcement was previously made that
Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles would be the
speaker of the evening, but being prevent
ed, Gen. Greedy consented to speak In his
stead. ~

Boys in Camp.
The soldiers stationed at the heavy artil-
iery station at old Fort Washington have
nard time to get away from the fort
"ilhout leave. The fort is situated on a
peninsula, as 1t were, with Piscataway
creek to the SOUTH Swan creek to the north
and the Potomac to the east. The only
way the fort can be left by land is on the
east side, over narrow neck of land, and
to prevent the men from stray1ng away
those in command of the fort have caused
high barbed wire fence to be built across
this neck of land from Piscataway to
Goose creek. The fence is about eight feet
hlgh. and the strands Of the barbed wire
are TOO close together to permit a man to
crawl through, so that the only way to get
out Is through the gateway where the
county road comes into the fort At this
gate a sentry PAGES night and day. and
without permit no soldier is allowed to
pass. The consequence is the men now
stay at the fort whether they wish to or
not. W W

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1 notice considerable agitation in favor
OF penny postage. While that hardly seems
practicable while the receipts are several
millions less than the expenditures an
nually it is practicable to apply it TO drop
letters. There is no expense with them ex-
cept the gathering and delivery of them,
the same as with postal cards. Besides
the government would not be at any exc
pense in furnishing them, as it is with the
cards, and 1t would be a great convenience
