"BABY RUTH" POSSESSED
HER MOTHERS BEAUTY
Her Dark Hair and Eyes and Bearing Reminded
One of Mr. Cleveand's Bride

The death OF Baby Ruth" as Mr.
Cleveland's first-born was known for
some years throughout the country,
came as a personal sorrow to thousands
of homes IN which she was familiar only
by name.
Born October g. ss9l, while her father
was practicing law in New York city
and living at 6ls Madison Avenue. her
advent was an event of universal public
interest and solicitude-
When, in March. 1893. Mr.. Cleveland
returned TO the White House. the little
girl became at once a figure OF extraor-
binary social concern IN the National
Capital. and her life at that period was
followed with anectionate regard in
every section OF the land With her par
ents there was formed a domestic pic
ture never before witnessed in the Ex-
ecutive Mansion
1t was not long before this circle was
enlarged. Esther. who came IN the year
1888 was the first child to be born IN the
White House; and little Marian followed
in 1895. But. however these newcomers
may have affected Ruth's position in the
household. 1t cannot be said that she
suffered in the affection of the American
people. To them she was Baby Ruth"
as long as she lived.
Baby Ruth who was probably the
most popular child ever in Washington
had grown 10 be a robust girl Of twelve
years. She resembled her mother more
than any Of the other children. and
promised to grow into a young woman
approaching IN beauty Mrs. Cleveland
heI self Like her mother, she had dark
hair and eyes. She had also the car
rage and bearing OF her mother. and
the resemblance was further carried out
/ BY that exposure OF the brow. without
either fringe or pompadour, which has
always distinguished Mrs Cleveland
Ruth was well-built child. neither
too stout nor too slight. Her hair was
perfectly straight and was drawn
tightly back and tied at the top. whence
| II hung down her back in straight dark
I locks. Ruth was named after Mrs
CIeveland's grandmother. and wa
unanimously christened Baby Ruth
/ by the nation.
From s O'Clock until every day Ruth
attended school. where lessons are given
in all branches preparatory TO col
/ lege course 1t has been said that there
are no better bred children in Princeton
than those OF the former President.
Ruth was devoted 20 the black anc
white pony VIII she owned jointly
with her brother and sisters. and 70 hel
bicycle The black and white pony Is
used both saddled and harnessed to g
tan dogcart- The dogcart, drawn By
the pony. was often seen with all foul
children and the nurse in it moving
slowly down the highway Even Mrs
Cleveland sometimes Joined the party
Besides the pony and the bicycles the
| Cleveland children have always been
particularly fond OF outdoor sports on
the Cleveland grounds, which are beau
tifully kept.
Mrs. Cleveland and the former Presi-
dent himself frequently join the chill

BUYING VIOLATES LAW
AS WELL AS SELLING
Pennsylvania Court Hands Down Deci-
sion That Astounds Officers of Sab
bath Association.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Sin an opin-
ion handed down in quarter sessions
court No. 3. Judge Martin has decided
that the arrest of the persons buying on
Sunday. in violation of the blue laws,
IS as legal as the arrest of the persons
who do the selling in such cases.
Albert j. Hoover. was arrested on a
warrant charging him with the violation
of the act of 1874. relating to worldly
employment on Sunday. He was fined
for buying a cigar on Sunday. while
agent for the Sabbath Association.
After reviewing Sunday legislation
from the time Of Constantine. the judge,
in conclusion. said that even accepting
IN its broadcast sense the definition of
works Of necessity as used I'm connec-
ton with Sunday legislation. IT was not
possible to conceive OF necessity
which would compel a person to become
a party to an offense susceptible OF
proof upon view. That 1t may be more
convenient for an informer to buy than

said, could not make the work one Of
necessity Judge Martin decided that
Hoover was properly convicted before d
magistrate. affirming the fine.

MISS BARTON NOT
TO GO TO MACEDONIA
Has Received Numerous Letters Calling
Attention to the Conditions in
That Country.

That she has no present intention of
going to Macedonia. to conduct Red
Cross work was positively affirmed by
Clara Barton yesterday. Miss Barton
admitted that she was receiving numer-
Gus letters. calling her attention TO the
suffering caused by the Turks, and
these letters, she said. had been coming
regularly from ali parts Of the United
States and from abroad for the past
three months.
There is no foundation for the re-
port that we are to take charge of an
expedition into Macedonia like the one
into Armenia said Miss Barton, and
suppose the rumor is due to some
one hearing that we were receiving
urgent requests to do so. These re-
quests, however. are only from private
parties They have as yet brought about
no concerted movement for the raising
of funds or taking of concerted action
1.-The Red Cross acts when the nation
needs It. and If the people as a whole
want us to go to Macedonia to alleviate
the suffering there, and there are funds
raised which they want us TO devote to
this work. why, of course, the Red
Cross Association Will readily comply. -

DISTRICT WOULD HALT
SPREAD OF CONSUMPTION
Prevalence of tuberculosis Has Inspired Special
Efforts Toward Education of the People to
Deal Effectively With MaIady

The prevalence of consumption in the
District of Columbia and the proper
means to control and prevent II are re-
ceiving attention from various organi-
cations of a humanitarian character.
and especially from the Health Office
and Associated Charities.
Since DIR. s. w. Woodward became
Health officer he has given large at
tention to this vital subject The AS
ISOLATED Charities also was forced TO
the consideration of the matter by the
conditions IL found in attempting to
relieve the condition of the poor. over
a year ago the latter organization for
INFLATED n movement which resulted in
the creation of a committee on the pre-
vention Of consumption.
In recognition of his prior efforts in
this line. at the first meeting Of this
committee some six months ago, Dr.
Woodward was elected chairman. Ru-
dolph Kaufman was made treasurer.
and Secretary Charles F. Weller. of
the Associated Charities. secretary of
the committee
Statistics of Consumption.
vital statistics compiled in the in
vestigation of this committee are OF
great interest. as showing the compare
tive prevalence of this disease in the
District compared with other large
communities. as well as the percentage
of deaths from this cause as compared
with other diseases. Briefly summar-
lied. some Of the facts shown by these
figures are as follows:
From the statistics Of the census OF
1890 Washington stands fifth in her
percentages of deaths from this cause
with death rate per 1000 popu-
o ..ff vii "A
larger percentage are Richmond, New
Orleans. Atlanta and San Francisco.
Later figures are not yet available, but
II IS stated unoficially that since that
time washington has risen to the top Of
the list in deaths from this cause.
In preparing the mortality statistics
from this cause for the District, one
peculiar circumstance has been OBJ
served. that owing 20 an unusually cold
winter or other causes, the yearly
death rate varies considerably. For this
reason the data has been compiled in
groups OF five years. beginning with
1876. The death rate from this cause
per 10000 for the period ending 1880 was
41-27; for the next succeeding periods
down to 1900 40 80. 1875. 1851, and g "a.
For last year the percentage came
down to 24.26. but for the reasons men
toned no account will be taken OF this
apparent reduction until several years
have elapsed. AS Dr. Woodward ex-
presses It: This is too good to be
really true" Within this compilation
it is shown that the white race death
rate has been reduced in the same
period from s0.42 to 1859, with 1888 as
he figures for the past year. The negro

Caring for Patients.

The second great object of the COM
mittee is to provide for the care OF the
afflicted from this cause. To this end
an Sffort is being made TO have the
ward for the care OF consumptives the
first erected on the site of the proposed
Municipal Hospital. The chief reason
for this is that the only hospital in the
District which viii receive consump-
tive patient is the Washington Asylum
Hospital. at the Almshouse. 1t is. there
fore, the design OF the committee TO
bring pressure to bear upon Congress 10
secure the erection of the tubercular
ward of the proposed Municipal Hos
pital.
An ultimate object of the committee
is 70 provide for sanitariums in the
country, for the cure of the disease in
its early stages, but they are not reach
ing for this now, but only for the care
Of the present victims in advanced
stages. who are a menace TO the entire
community, and to educate the public
to a proper care OF them until such
arrangements can be made
The Washington times., 1904-01-10

OF further interest is the fact that
from July I. 1885. TO June 30, 1890. the
total number of deaths in the District
was 1904. OF which 1900 were due to
consumption, a percentage Of 1871, or
approximately In Z. In the period from
1896 to 1900 there were 1913 deaths of
whites, 1.S29 of which were from this
cause, a percentage of 1129. or ] in g;
12.S46 deaths of negroes. OF which 2.17l
died from consumption. a percentage of
1890. or / in g. other statistics have
been compiled showing the rate at diff
ferent ages. which indicate that the
greatest mortality from this cause oc-
ours between the ages of twenty and
thirty years.
Educate the Public.
The first step taken was to educate
the public on the contagious character
Of the disease, for which purpose DR.
Woodward has issued a pamphlet, show
ing the dangers of the disease, especial
" from improper care in the matter OF
sputa. To such extent as the law al
lows. those pamphlets have been print
ed at the expense of the District, the
funds being drawn from the contingent
fund. The amount available from this
source is so small, however, that wher
it was proposed to circulate these
pamphlets through the public schools
It was found TO be impossible unless the
public sees fit to come to the relief OF
the committee by popular contributions
Another educative measure has beer
the giving OF free lectures, mostly ir
the negro churches and schools. as II
Is recognized that this is the class most
in need Of education on this point
These lectures have been in the MAR
