with bucket, sponge and broom. not the

BOROUGH GOSSIP
Birth Certificates of Many
School Children Not Filed.

II is estimated that between % and 90 peT
cent of the children wEo apply to the
Brooklyn branch of the Health Department
for birth certificates find that none have
been filed. The records date TO 1866. Most
Cf the failures occurred prior 60 1901. when
the City's charter was revised and the
scope Of the section which made the filing
at certificates compulsory was enlarged. At
tho same time provision was made for the
filing of birth certificates by parents when
over the discovery happened TO he made
that no record existed. About 1901 the
! card of Education required each child
who applied for admission to the public
schools to present a certificate showing
that he or she was six years old.
The births in the borough last year num-
bored $3.50, against 42.7Os the year before.
The health officials find Italian and Rus
sian immigrants particularly desirous Of
complying with the law respecting the fill
ing Of birth certificates. Parents OF these
rationaltics carry the birth certificates of
their little ones with them when they visit
their native lands to prove that their chill
dren are Americans and not subject to
some Of the laws OF Italy and Russia.

CHICKEN BROKE
UP BALL GAME

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Colonel
Charley Mann, he is the superintendent
of the house press gallery and has
been for score or more of years
was reminiscing the other day about
lunatics and things.
did you ever hear the story about
'Muggsy' McGraw of the New York
Giants, and the lunatic. he asked his
two friends.
NO" they replied, and gave him
the signal to unbuckle.
We'll, it was back in the days when
McGraw was with the old Baltimore
Orioles The Orioles went down to
Willow Grave, Md, one day to play
ball with a team from the lunatic
asylum there. The lunatics might
have been short on some things. but
they were long on baseball knowledge
and it was quite a game.
One of the players on the lunatic
team was man with the odd delusion
that he was a kernel of corn, Be-
lieving that if a chicken appeared III
sight, the chicken would eat him up,
he being a kernel Of corn, he always
fed on first signs of approaching
Now it happened thar one
of the attendants knew of the mans
queer affliction and when the game
was going along very nicely let a
chicken loose from a crate. Thc
The fowl gave loud cackle and Oft
went the lunatic at high speed for
the shelter of the asylum. McGraw
happened to be in the mans path
and when he saw the lunatic running
at top speed he though he was pur-
suing him.
1T was great race. MoGraw got
all the way to the asylum befc e he
found out that the lunatic was not
chasing him. When he got back to
he ball field even the other luna les
we're laughing at him.
