NEGRO MORTA EXCESSIVE.

The death rate among olored peo-
pie of the District of Columbia is caus
ing no little uneasiness in medical
circles, and among business men who
recog nize the fact that desirable people
will not locate here if Washington
is reported as an unhealthy city. It is
charged that the Negroes are responui'
BILE for the death rate being as high
as it is, and that, while they represent
but one third of the population, their
mortality is about 80 per cent ab1ve the
average shown by the white residents
This is a crying shame, and improve
ment cannot come until the white
citizens themselves exercise more
liberality toward the Negro in the mat.
ter of renting them decent houses, re-
lieving the unsanItary condition of the
alley tenements, and granting open
iags for lucrative employment that
will allow better medical attention and
proper food and raiment for families.
Disease is no respe ter of persons, aud
If in their greed for gain and suscepti-
bility to narrow prejudices the white
property owners ing a scOurge upon
the whole community, they will have
no one but themselves to blame. The
dirty alleys should be made into clean
minor streets, tenements at reasonable
rental. with modern improvements,
should be erected thereon, and a close
system of sanitary inspection sh uld
be inaugurated. People are seldom
better than the neighbour od in which
they live. See that the environ
ment is improved, and encourage the
people to live up to it. Our physicians
should stir things up in this con
nection.

papers which will stand up for Negro
advancement, independent of partisan
or pers NAL impu!ss. The Red Bank

when 1t says:

This is sound doctrine, and the pul-
PIT, the press and the schoolmasts are
not fulfilling their mission if they fail
to expound it at every opportunity.
Race leaders are .lot expected to in-
du'ge eternally in lofty pIatitudes and

has done, and stop there. A recital of

couragement is all right in i s place.
but our faults must not be overlooked
If We hope for their correction. The
needs of the present aud prepara ration for
a brighter future should concern the
race most at this time, and the situation
should be faced by all in a spirit of
candor. We cannot deceive the world
by gliding our vices or produce perma-
nent prosperity by veneering OF arti-
ticial show. Il the Jim crow car is
to go, if dstranchIsement is to he

AGAINST SUNDAY FUNERALS

We have always been opposed to
Sunday funerals, for many we'll known
reasons. Sunday should be given over
to the regular worship, and to the
carrying out of the plans the pastor bas
matured for the benefit of the church
The maj lority of Sunday funerals are
not neid from necessity, but to gratity
foolish desire for display on the part
OF lodges or unthinking relatives. This
sort OF thing should be discouraged bv

son. OF No. l25 South oxford street.
brooklyn. is making a test of a new cam
Ger cure, IN which failure will mean deaf
and success a new lease of life. d.
Richardson, who has been afflicted with
cancer OF the throat fOr years, IS trying
the violet ray system OF cure.
Several months ago his case was given
iip as hopeless, and he undertook the vio-
let ray cure as a last result So far tho
treatment has resulted favorabiy, and a
marked Improvement was reported IN his
condition yesterday.
DR. Richardson IL a wealthy physician
and is the son Of the late Deacon Rich
ardson. who built many railroads IN
Brooklyn. Hc has a high social position
sn BROOKLYN and stands well with the
medical fraternity. being q member OF
the Kings County Medical society tie
IS married and lives at No. ls5 South OK
ford street.
DEATH NEAR AT HAND
Several years ago "a small sore in his
and soon the cancer spread all over his
throat The growth became so large mat
death was feared almost az any moment.
There were several operations and por-
lions of the growth were cut out ana
physicians told DR. Richarson that he
might die almost any moment or live
IL was then that the young physician
determined 20 try the new cure for cam
Ger II originated In SWEDEN, and DIT.
-. G. HOPKINS, OF No. $50 Washington
avenue. went there and studied the Sys-
rem for the Kings County Medical so
ciety He Is considered an expert In the
treatment OF cancer by violet rays ana
has fine ssnltarium in BROOKLYN.
Dr. Richardson sought Or. Hopkins,
and. after a. consultation, decided 10
place himself under the ray treatment
Dr. y. NJ. Sharp, who was assistant TO
Dr Richardson before he was stricken,
was Instructed I'm the application of the
rays by pr. Hopkins, and a FEW months
ago the treatment was commenced.
a violet ray machine was installed IN
Dr Richardson's home The theory is
that the csncerous growth II stopped and
cured b.. the concentration OF the raNs
iIpon the diseased parts.
VIOLET RAYS WERE USED.
Every sunny day they are concentrated
and projected down Dr. richardson's
throat.
The treatment has been going on for
several months. Dr. Hopkins is watch
ing IL closely. IL Is declared that DR.;
Richardson's condition has 80 improved
that dope Is entertained Of his complete
recovery.
Dr. Richardson's case is considered
remarkable one by the physicians.
DR. Richardson withstands the ordeal
heroically it IL declared, and gives the
physicians attending him all the aid In
his power. He keeps notes of his con-
-vifttorfs ti4ff4tfs- tAe-aaA, and is hs much
of his own doctor as any OF tft pnyNclahs
who are attending him.
