New York, Aug. 13.-Just for hash
this afternoon the craven mask OF polite
conventionality fell from the face OF
Admiral Togo, and he was the man OF
japan. alert to a code Of chivalry tnat
is unknown to the Western world. That
was when in even tones he rebuked one
of his own countrymen on the stage OF
Carnegie Lyceum for forgetting for an
instant the majesty of the Emperor.
Togo had stood with bowed head while
the small concert hall thundered with
deep -throated banzais in his honor, and
he had listened to words Of praise from
his countrymen. Then just before he
went down the aisle Mr.. T. Fukutomi,
the New York representative of the
Osaka Asahi, a newspaper Of the inland
city. stepped to the front of the plat
form and proposed three, banzais for
their beloved Emperor. Admiral Togo,
who was standing, quickly held up his
hand.
DO not do that" he said. speaking
raeidly. you have already given me
three banzais. It is not fitting that after
honoring me first you should remember
his majesty. the Emperor. You shouio
know that"
Thereafter he was once more the nt.
tie man with the inscrutabie eyes, while
he sat down a few hours later before the
gold service Of the Hotel Knickeroocker
TO play his passive part in banquet OF
state rendered him by the government,

Saving the lives of 100 babies in the
month of July by sanitation, proper feed
ing. and the education that is following
from settlement and station work being
done in the city of Washington ranks
results that any city in the United
States can show, according to the statis-
tics of cities so far available.
An examination of the figures that
year by year record the deaths OF chill
dren under one year of age shows a death
rate of appalling proportions that is an
nually occurring in the alleys of the city
where conditions of life and hygiene are
to be seen at their worst.
A visiting nurse, whose work lies in
these localities. said yesterday, in COM
menting on the facts revealed in The
Washington Herald OF yesterday, that il
the death rate of infants in these To-
calities could be brought down anyway
city there would be a record that would
beat that of any other large city in
the United States.
Alley Deaths Are Many.
According to the testimony Of this WELL
known 'angel OF mercy" the high death
rate in the insanitary alleys OF the city
puts the real work that is being done
in this direction far below what a just
estimate will show.
Surgeons at the Children's Hospital,
where thousands of cases of infantiIe
maladies are treated annually, attribute
the steady decrease in infant mortality
to the education of parents in the sani-
tary care and nutritious feeding of
babies. House physicians have marked
the decrease each year and find the
dreaded hot months claim fewer victims
each year.
At the hospital. mothers are instructed
in the care and feeding of infants, and
this work. the physicians say, is doing
great deal tosward decreaing the death
record among infants. Every afternoon
mothers class is held, when the sci
strated and other important features in
the rearing of child are demonstrated.
1--WE have had several cases this year,
however, where the ignorance of parents
has resulted in the death of children, I"
said the head surgeon last night RE
Gently a mother brought her baby to the
hospital for treatment, and a physician
who met the woman in the reception
room took the child from her arms dead.
This is only an example of what train
ing in the care Of children might OBJ
yiate."
Hospital physicians were loud in their
praise of the milk laboratories, where
modified milk is distributed to thou
sands. The work of other charitable in
stitutions maintaining visiting nurses
were also commended highly.
