Palrman, present ot te. Capta Camera Club. An effort had been made, be re- | of in the District entirely sf ees ie Dees eoxtert, cee | for the District—white, 18.55; colored, 88.25; for Baltimore, white, 20.41; colored, $2.60. If.we take the census’ year only and ‘include still births among the deaths, the death rate of the colored in District was 38.2, or just about double that of the whites, which was 19.8 “If the city was in sanitary condition the death rates of the whites ought to be about 17, and of the colored not more than 26.” DEATH RATES IN DIFFERENT DISTRICTS. Dr. Billings here explained a series of colored maps, which were thrown (on the screen by the Igntern and which showed by different densities , | of shading the relative death rates in different parts of the city. The District was divided in the scheme on which the maps were made into twenty-nine smaller districte. Spots where the death rate was relatively very heavy were in- dicated by being made very dark, while local- ities where the death rate was small were light in color. One map showed the comparisons on the basis of the total death rate; another showed the death rate for whites; another for white Jehildren; another for the colored popula- tion: another for colored children, and another, the death rate for malarial diseases. It was shown generally that the death rate was greatest in the lower levels of the city. The map showing the death rate among white chil- | dren bad dark section in the central or @ business portion of the city. There Probably one of the ideas in the minds of the men who originated this movement was that it would be a wise thing to be prepared for the appearance of cholera in this country or in this city. A few cases of cholera have been reported throughout the winter months in i} Hamburg, in the south of France and in Austro- | | Hungary, and an epidemic has recently oc- | curred in an asylum on a hill near Halle, which | | is a great puzzle as to its causes. Taking these | facts m connection with the previous history of | cholera epidemics it is at least an even chance | that, as warm weather comes on, there will be outbreaks of the «disease in various parts of | western Europe and a corresponding liability to the introduction of the disease in this jeountry. Perhaps there is not more than one chance out of ten that tais introduc- jtion will happen, and if it does happen ' there is not more than one chance out of fifty that a case will occur here, but good business men are accustomed to insure their property THE CITY'S HEALTH.

Area 180 acres; actual building area 111 acres; number of dwellings 357; population 2,102; whites 648; colored 1,454: number of persons to each acre of total acres 11.73; to each dwelling 5.86. This had mostly a colored population, living along the river and back from it in small frames and tenements. with an occasional home of modern construction. Improvements were going on producing a better class, Much va- cant ground and many old dumps existed in this district.

It will be seen,” continued the lecturer, referring again to the maps, that there aro | Steat differences in the death rates of the differ- , ‘ent districts, not only for the te lation, but for both white and colored. Por example: In district No. 10 the a annual death rate was 18.09, while in district No. 7 it | ‘was 48.33. In districts 28 and 29, which con- stitute the suburban, rural and thinly settled parte of the District (excluding the death rates DEATH RATE PER 1,000 OF POPULATION WASH ° INGTON, D. c., 1875 To 1891, WASHINGTON DEATH RATE FROM TYPHOID FEVER PER 10,000 oF PorpULATION. for the government insane asylum and the Soldiers’ Home) the death rates are. us might be expected, comparatively low. The lowest white death rate occurs in district 29, where it is only 10.55, while the highest death rate among the whites occurs in district 7. where it is 41.45. This same district 7 also shows the next highest death rate among the colored, sang sepa, caonytndod OOT*001 UT ~The death rate among the whites, both for the total and under five years of age, was the wax also very high. A’ considerable part of the excessive death rate occurred among the chil- dren. Malarial fevers caused more than five times the average proportion of deaths. Diarrha:al diseases, consumption and typhoid fever each caused more than the average number, while the rate from diphtheria and croup was much namely, 158.98, the absolutely highest being for the colored in the 18th district, 184.94, NEAK I AND & to provide for funds and ial seport of fee proseodiug ‘an annual report of its inge. it has all the powor to say what be . and how it be done; if it “not satisfy the members of the league, t new men at theend of the vear. the council is distributed among committees, each composed of five of its own members as follows: 1.

It is considered desirable that full and ac- curate information with regard to possible or ‘probable sources of contamination of the general water supply of the city shall be at all times available. We have a supply which is in most respects ex- cellent, and whictr is little liable to dangerous contamination. But it becomes very muddy at times, arf, as you know, either settling re- sources or aiarge filter would be needed to prevent this, But eternal vigilance is the price of a pure water supply, and we want to know whether it is possible that the water might be contaminated with the germs of cholera or of ty- phoid under certain circumstances, ‘To obtain this information the sanitary committee is au- thorized by the council toappoimt from mem- bers of the leagne a special committee, whose duty it shall be to confer with the officers in charge of the general water supply with re- gard to the condition and needs of that devart- ment, and to inquire and personally investigate with regard to the existence of possible dan- gers of contamination of said supply, report- ing the results of its investigations from ume to time to the sanitary committee for pre- sentation to the council. 2. It is considered desirable that full and ac- curate information as to the methods of sewage disposal throughout the city, and as to the needs of different parts of the city for improve- ments in this respect shall be available for the information of tie council, and to secure this the sanitary commitiee 14 authorized by the couneil to appoin: from members of the league committee whose duty it shall be to inquiries into this matter, to confer with (On the north side of the street there is « large open space littered with refuge and stagnant pools of water.) Now is it not a matter of considerable inter- est to the residents in these different districts, to the owners of real estate and to business men end citizens generally, as well as to the health authorities of the city, that the causes of these great differences in death rates should be determined as far as possible, in order that we may see whether it is possible todo away with some of these causes? League. You must remember that the causes of differences in death rates in different: locali- ties are many and various—that the districts having high death rates are not necessarily the most unhealthy in their surroundings, for it tay depend on the character of the popula- tion, on the number of infants, on the presence of a hospital, or the poverty of the inhabitante, ke. to causes—thev ask them. For exampie, are the marked differences in the mortality of the white and colored due to differences in the physi- cal structure of the two races, giving rise to special liability to or special mortality from certain forms of disease, or are they due to food, habits and modes of life, character and place of residence? I do not intend to disenss mbankment in the rear, practically below the average. The death rate from pnet monia and from accidents and injuries was also high in this district. Sanitary district No. 10—This district was bounded by T street, Vermont and Massachu- setts avenues, 16th. $ and 15th streets north- west, the height nbove tide water varying from 7A to 101 feet. Area, 15% acres; actual building area, 88 umber of dwellings, 1,456: population, .440; whites, 5,887, colored, 2,553; number of persons to each acre of total area, 54.19; to each dwelling, 5.80. With the exception of a few retail stores thi district was exclusively residential, all houses being of the better clase. It contains one market. ‘The death rates in this@district as compared with the average for the city, exclusive of still births, were as follow: ites in their efforts to improve | time it bas risen above that of Baltimore, and is the Di and to | showing a tendency to increase.

WHAT WASHINGTON OUGHT TO BE. In & lecture to some of the citizens of Bal- death rate of their city ought not to be over 20 per 1,000; that is, that it was over 2 per 1,000 too high.’ But the death rate of Washington ought to be less than that of Bultimore; it ought to be one of the healthiest cities in the country, and yet its death rate is greater than that of Baltimore, it is 6 per 1,000 too high for us to be glad to call attention to it. and 10 per 1,000 too high for the colored. Some of the unneceseary deaths are due to | polluted water, some to polluted soil, some to more or less direct contagion, a few to bad or contaminated food. All these are causes which the Sanitary League proposes to look into. But the chief causes of the excessive and unnecessary denths are not connected with matters of this kind. They are ignorance and negligence on the part of individual citizens.

It is the opinion of the sanitary committee that there is urgent need in the District for hospital accommodation to secure prompt isola- tion cases of contagious and infectious dis- ease for the purpose of preventing their spread, and, therefore, the president of the leazue is author.zed to appoint from the members of the league a special committee to consider the best means of providing for this need and to report to the council the result of its deliberations. 4. Itis the opinion of the committee that there isan urgent need in the District for a disinfecting plant for public purposes, to be under the management of the health denart- with the iances for disinfecting bed- ding, clothing, articles of furniture, &c., to be used for the purpose of preventing ‘the spread of contagious and infectious dircases with the least possible damage to or destruction of property and the council will take steps to secure such a disinfecting plant or station. 5. The president of the league is authorized ‘away with certain causes of disease and death which can be dealt with by combined or public agencies. Tt will give the people a fair chancé; but these things alone will not greatly diminish the death rate. They will not prevent the deaths among the infants dao to inherited disease, to neglect —whether deliberate or due to ignorance—to starvation: they will not prevent the deaths from consumption, nor those due to beer and whisky, nor the infanticides— of which we have too many—nor the homicides nor the suicides. © some THINGS To BE DoxE. To lower our death rate to where it ought to be, so that, as citizens of Washington, we may be proud to compare it with that of other cities, we must lessen especially the number of deaths among infants and the number of deaths from consumption, and to do this we have got to induce the classes among whom the greater part of these deaths occur to change somewhat their habits. We have gut toreach the mothers and housekeepers who will never attend lectures by doctors nor. as a rule, read the simplest in- stractions in sanitary matters. The peopie to whom Iam referring do not believe much in the prevention of disease: they look at it as our | ancestors did afew hundred years ago—it is ANOTMER VIEW IN THE NORTHEAST.

That is one of the things the Sanitary League will try to do, For this purpose we must obtai: the co- operation of the clergy, of the workingmen’s organ , of the mirsion school for ed cating housekeepers, of those who are engaged in the work of educating our colored people, and special committees for these various objects are recommended. ‘There is to be a committee of ladies on sanitary housekeeping, and a very important and useful committee it may be. Now, if Thave clearly and sufficiently ex- plained what the Sanitary League is, how it is organized, what are its objects and how it pro- poses to begin, it does not seem tome that 1 need say much about the reasons why every person in the District who is interested in his neighbors or in the business prosperity of the city, or in the health of little children, and who ws willing to give a little time and thought to helping the work along. should become a mem- ber of the league.

Perhaps you will be asked to serve on a general commit perhaps to aid in the inspection of the block in which you live—perbapr, for the present, merely to furnish any information which you possess and which you. think may be of use to the council or to the District authorities. Cer- inly you will be expected to take an interest in the sanitary condition of the vicinity in which you reside, to use what influence you have to improve it, and to carry out the pians and purposes of the couneil. members of the league for money; the only persons who havg to pay dues are the members of the council. hose who render service as inspectors, &c., will never be called on for money; it may be that others will be askéd for small annual dues— adoltlara year to help pay expenses, printing, &c.—but this is for the future. To become a member of the league ask any member of the council to propose your name— don't wait to be specially asked and urged. Finaliy, is is something new.
