Mortality Rate Reduced.

I'm the past twenty years." the re-
port states. 1.-The infant mortality for the
city of Washington has been reduced
from thirty per hundred to less than ten
Der hundred. An examination of our own
tabular records appearing in the last
report of the hospital shows an exact
parallelism in this striking reduction
of mortality rates. SO that we may
therefore entertain with qualification
the satisfying deduction that the Chill
dren's Hospital has played a large
share in the beneficent saving of the
lives of babies and children"

I'VE are entering upon our fiftieth

Gus departments; 22,823 have occu-
pied beds in the hospital. Equal to

Report Lauds Nurses and Doctors.

A high tribute is paid to the nurses
and doctors at the hospital and the
outside volunteers who worked during
the influenza epidemic at the institu-
tion last year. Part of this statement
follows:
doctors Charles Stanley White,
William F. Sewers, Leopold Glushak,
Daniel L. Borden, within the wards.
and many volunteers in the out-pa-
tient department. assisted US to con-
tinue our ministrations to the sick
children of the city: and this at
time when our populat alton was greatly
increased. and for several months we
were harassed by the ravages of
epidemic influenza. The nurses and
resident staff succumbed to this pre-
uation was indeed desperate. Those
who were well gallantly assumed the
burdens forced upon them by the de-
pletion of our forces, and the untir-
ing devotion of our nurses during this
crisis deserves especial commenda-
ton.
'"rime and again the hospital proved
a refuge for the stricken children of
those whose crowded dwelling places
could i'll afford the necessities for the
sick. In many instances babies who
had become both motherless and ia
therless through the ravages of in
fuenza found asylum within. our
wards when they themselves became
the victims of the disease"

Saloonkeepers in all parts Of Phila-

the expected order from Washington

the solemn question, voiced by thirsty

There is no probability, 1t was SAID
today. that the prices even in the cheap

Alexander Hamilton IN their famous
duel more than 115 years ago at Wee
hawken, n. j., will be offered for sale
as n part of the Caesar Rodney estate,
in this city, next Monday.
Caesar Rodney was one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence. The
tradition in the Rodney family is that
these pistols were presented to Caesar
Rodney by Colonel Aaron Burr, his
intimate friend. Later on in history
Rodney, as attorney general under
President Jefferson, had to prosecute his
friend Burr for treason.
1t was in 1901 that Aaron Burr was
defeated in his candidacy for President
Of the United States. Jefferson won the
most votes and Burr was made Vice
President. In 1904 he ran as indepen =
dent candidate for governor of New
York and was again defeated. He
blamed both defeats on Hamilton. and
it was political disagreement which led
to the duel at Weehawken. July II,
1904. Hamilton fired his pistol in the
air and was killed by Burr
The pistols, of the long, heavy type
of that period, have just been oiled and
polished up so they are in working order.

to have been made in Philadelphia about

that they commenced to sell almost

Reason for Optimism
The optimism Of Philadelphia, New
York and Chicago liquor dealers over
the termination Of war; time prohibi-
tion, according to report from Wash

by a member Of President Wilson's
cabinet to the effect that the Presi-

tion of the peace treaty by the Senate
before removing restrictions on saloons
for the short period before prohibi-
ton under the constitutional amend
ment.
