"HE late William J. Florence used
to tell of an incident that hap
pened to him in his very early
theatrical days.
On a certain occasion Mr.. Florence
went to dine with a lady of the COM
pany In which he was appearing. When
the meal was finished he discovered TO
his dismay that he had neglected the
very necessary preliminary of supply
ing himself with sufficient coin oil the
realm to appease the expectant casnief
of the food emporium.
MIR Florence endeavored to explain 10
that disnitary the condition that he
found himself in. but with little or no
success.

THE FALLING DEATH RATE.

The proof of the pudding is in the chewing of
the string and the best possible demonstration of in
cFeasing sanitary efficiency is in the showing that
tine statistics of death rates and sickness make.
The District had for the fiscal year ended uy
the lowest death rate in its history 1913 per 900
of population. 1t is probable that the reports were
rather more complete than in earlier years of the
period covered by the statistics.
For long time typhoid and malaria have been
pretty steadily the decrease here directly as re-
suit of better and better sanitary conditions They
have practically ceased to be menaces to the COM
munity they once were regarded.
There is yet plenty of room for betterment and
the District Commissioners have demanded facilities
for better protection of infants and for the enforced
segregation of consumptives in advanced stage of
the disease. Better inspection of the schools for
medical and sanitary purposes is urged

WOMEN AT DIGGs TRIAL

Martha Warrington, One Of the A.
legged Victims, VIII Be Placed
on the Witness Stand.

San Francisco, Aug. S.-A special
venire of twenty talesmen reported to
Judge VanFleet in the United States
district court when the trial Of Maury
I. Diggs, charged with having violated
the Mann white slave act. was re-
sumed at ten o'clock. The prosecu-
ton has only two peremptory chal-
lenges left and the defense three, and
the examination OF the talesmen be-
gan without any preliminaries.
Much excitement and intense inter
est in the case was created when Spe-
cial Prosecutor Matt I. Sullivan an
nounced that he would without doubt
place Marsha Warrington, the Sacra-
mento schoolgirl with whom Diggs
eloped to Reno, on the stand. The
young girls testimony is certain to
be sensational and the morbid curios-
ity seekers who flocked TO the court
room for the first time we're evidently
anticipating a salacious treat
Women appeared before the court
opened and from their manner In set
thing themselves evidently counted
upon remaining throughout the days
session. Many brought lunch boxes
and bottles of water, planning to re-
main throughout the day.
Tho first witness to be placed on the
stand by the government will be those
who can prove the purchase Of the
railroad tickets and the fact that when
Maury l. Diggs left for Reno he was
accompanied by Miss Warrington.
