Health Officer Hammett is endeavoring to compel the physicians to obey the law referring ‘to births in the District of Columbia, in expla- | the various physicians the following: | “I herewith eall your careful attention to | the fect that since July 1, 1888, to this date | there have been 10,635 births reported by phy- | sycians in the District of Columbia, while dur- temperature, 56. Con. | ing the same period 13,400 such returns have | the head of | been made by midwives, the total being 24,035. That is, of the total reports of births for the | above mentioned period 56 per cent were made | by midwives and only 44 per cent were by phy- | | sicians, and mctuded in the latter are over 400 cases of birth which occurred in hospitals. The total deaths for the same time were 31,883. | Thus thé reported births are only equal to 75 jper cent of the number of deaths, and do not equal the mortality in the Dis trict by nearly §,000. This statement of the case is not deemed creditable to the med- ical profession of this jurisdiction, but rather a matter of comment. ‘The inference is a fair cze that many births which take piace are not reported to the health ofticer and registrar of vital statistics as the requirements of the law demand. The law now in force provides that any person attending at a birth shail report officially the fact to the health officer within six days after such birth. under the penalty of ine for each offense. Hence every accoucher, by undertaking the duties, at the same time accepts the legal obligations of such office. The obiigation to the new-born child and its family is imperative in order that the necessary and only official evidence of birth, and as a consequence heirship, sometimes to great ‘monied interests, may be officially recorded. “Asa professional person and citizen your attention is respectfully called to this matter, with the expectation that it will meet with your careful consideration, and in the practical operation of which this department will render all needful assistance.” Section 3 of the act provides: ‘ hysician, in charge, ‘bat any accoucher. midwife or other person who shali attend. assist or advise at the birth of any child within the District of Columbia, shall report to the registrar afore- said within six days thereafter, stating distinctly the date of birth, sex and color of the child or children born, its or their physical condition, whether stillborn or not, the full name, nativity and residence of the parents, and the maiden name of the mother of such cluld or cbildren.” ‘The Inw provides a penalty of not less than $5} nor more than #10 for each offense. It is the intention of the health oicer to prosecute all persons found violating this law. _ > SUICIDE, ATTEMPT! An Army Officer Cuts His Throat, but Has & Chance to Kecover. Lieut. Samuel C. Robertson, first cavalry, U.S. A., attempted suicide at the Mount Ver- non Hotel, Baltimore, Sunday last by cutting his throat. Friends from Washington have visited him at the hotel and his brother, Mr. Harry Robertson, is now with him. While his condition is serious it is believed he has a fair chance of recovery. Lieut. Robertson is a son of Gen. Beverly Robertson of this city. He was one of the most brilliant and distinguished young officers in the United States army, curseg@ only by one fault—drink. His friends’ believe young Robertson to have been suffering at the time he attempted suicide from temporary aberration of the mind, caused by excessive alcoholism. —— TOO ARDENT IN HIS ATTENTIONS. ‘Why a Young Man From South Washington ‘Was Fined by Judge Miller.

For the first time in the history of the vil- | lege of Brookland one of. its citizens has taken his own life. The deed was committed early morning. Smoke was issping from the chimneys of some of the houses and in the general order of things the same condition | of affairs would soon have existed at the home | of David K, Middiekauff on Hartford avenue, | buta pistol shot had stilled the hand of the family and bis al- most lifeless body lay on the floor. In | his head wasa bullet wound and beside him | lay an old pistol that bad been in the family | for many years. No one saw the deed com- | mitted, nor did any of the neighbors hear the report of the pistol. MAD SOMETHING OX HIS MIND. Mr. Middlekauff arose about 5 o'clock, as had been his custom, after having paseed a restless night. His wife did not know the cause of his restlessness, but during the night she frequently noticed his indistinct mutter- ings, as she bad several nights before. If he was sick he did not tell hus wife, neither did he say he was sick or in trouble. But he ev: dently had something on bis mind and his burden was too much for him to carry. Per- haps his troubles were imaginative ones, but he was evidently troubled about something, for he had seemed ‘terribly depressed for veveral v8. When he went down siairs his wifé beard him moving about a short while and then she heard a noise which, to her, sounded like the explosion of a cap, but she thought it was out- side of the house’ and would have paid no at- tention to it had it not been for subsequent events. MIS BODY STRETCHED ON THE FLOOR. Following the noise there was a fall and then all was quiet. Mrs. Middlekauff then became anxious, She listened to hear her husband's footsteps, but there was @ painful silence, and the wife slipping on a dress hastened down the steps only to sec the prostrate form of her hus- band stretehed on the dining room floor. The pistol anda blood stain on the wall told too plainly the story of the tragedy, Then the sight of the hole in her husband's head con- Vinced her thot he was near his end, Dr, J. H. Erooks was sent for and probed for the builet aud discovered that the end was near, the builet having in licted a wound which | | was necessarily fatal. Althongh satisfied that the wound was a fatal one the doctor did what he could for the patient. He lived until about 8:45 o'clock, when he breathed his last, Deceased, who wasa carpenter by itade, was about fifty’ years old. He leaves a wife and five children. ‘The coroner was notified, but as the facts were so plain it was deemed unnecessary to hold an inquest and a certificate of death in ac- cordance with the facts was given. — THE DISTRICT. HEALTH OF An Increase in the Number of Deaths Last Week. In the weekly report of the operations of the health office Health Officer Hammett say “There was an increase of 31 deaths last week over the last report. The number rose from 96 to 127, and the death rate from 19.2 to25.4 per each thousand pf population. Although this is a material increase in the death rate it can- not be attributed .to any particular disease, but has arisen mainly among those suffering from lung and brain complaints. There were | 23 deaths from consumption as compared with 13 in the previous week, and pneumonia cases went up from 9 to 16. Mortality from influenza (grip) eeems tobe on the decline, since it fell off to $ as against 10 the previous week. Diph- theria and scarlet fever continue still in com- say he does not live with his wife. While under the influence of liquor yesterday morn- ing he called at the house of Mrs. Thacker near Sth and G streets, where he made himself per- fectly at home. Miss Annie Ferguson, sister of Mrs. Thacker, was there. She had just come in from the country, and when Mr. Thacker passed through the parlor and saw the stranger he thought he had come to visit his sister-in-law from the country Miller evidently did not know ex- actly where he was, but he said nothing out of the way and left after he had rested himself. ‘The recent arrival from the country, how- ever, had proved an attraction and during the afternoon he repeated his visit, although he was assured that he was not a welcome guest. This, however, did not have the effect of causing him to leave and before doing ro he embraced the girl and then she had him arrested. “He bugged me for ten minutes,” she told | Judge Miller this morning. “This is nothing but a country girl ands! as green asa pumpkin,” said her brother-in- | law, “and when I saw the man in the house this | morning I thought he was visiting the girl from the country.” ‘You will have to pay a fine of $25 and costs,” said the judge. “I was under the influence of liquor,” said the prisoner, “and don’t remember what I did.” “But,” said the judge.” “you drank the li- quor of your own free will and you wiil have to take the consequences of your conduct.” ——— MR. PHINNEY'’S INSURANCE COMPANY. He is Fined for Doing Business Without a Permit. This morning in Judge Miller's court Prose- cuting Attorney Jeffords called attention to the case of Mr. Samuel C. Phinney, president | of the American Home Sick and Death Benefit Insurance Association. ‘The charge against him was conducting the affairs of the associa- tion in violation of an act of Congress requir- ing a permit to be obtained from the Commis- sioners. When the ease was called Inspector Donovan and Oficer Melton, who have charge of the | license affairs of the District, and a number of | colored persons appeared as witnesses, Mra. Belva A. Lockwood appeared as counsel for the defendant and said she would enter « plea of guilty. Judge Miller examined the law in the case and heard Mrs. Lockwood's explanation of the affairs of the company. She said that no just claim against the company was standing unpaid. Counsel asked that the court suspend sen. tence, promising that the defendant would go out of business entirely or would refrain from doing business until satisfactory arrangements could be made whereby the Commissioners will grant the necessary permit. Mr. Jeffords said he had no objection to the court adopting such a course. The court thereupon imposed a fine of $100 and suspended execution of sentence. same time the court warned the defendant not to go into the business again unless he succeeds in getting the necessury permit, tellimg him that ‘he will render himself liable for every jense. ae Another Chilean Cabinet Bei: Formed.

Mr. Moond¢} Tells Some Interesting Facts About the Craze. The lecture hall of the Cosmos Club held about as many people last night as could be well crowded in. The reguiar meeting of the Anthropological Society was the occasion and every chair in the room held an interested auditor, while many stood patiently in the rear of the hall, and one enterprising scientist bal- qnced himself on a three-legged chair and seemed to enjoy it. Besides visitors and mem- bers of the club the hall contained a big white screen, a stereopticon apparatus, some gaudy Indian costumes and a lot of charts covered with mysterious words. These charts were first brought into play by Dr. J. Owen Dorsey, who delivered an interesting talk on ‘‘Sionan Phonetic Types.”” THE INDIAN GHOST DANCE. After the conclusion of Dr Dorsey's talk the other properties were brought into play by Mr. James Mooney, who talked on the subject of “The Indian Messiah and the Ghost Dance.” Mr. Mooney illustrated his lecture by a large number of excellent photographs, thrown on the screen, and also by means of the of ghost shirts and other relics which he had obtained. ‘The late Messiah craze, Mr. Mooney explained, was not the first of like affeire by any means, and eight or ten similar movements have taken place among our American In- dians. The last movement, however, was probebly, the most widely extended ‘which ever taken place among the North American tribes. The movement was started by a young Piute, known among the whites as Jack Wilson. ‘This Tndien's father prevailed before him. The present Messiah did not make open assumption of divine authority until January 1, 1889. Wilson told the lecturer that he did not become a prophet until the day the sun went to sleep, when he went into « trance and ascended up to heaven, where he saw and talked to God. who told him to return to the earth and tell the people what he had seen. The man, Hr,’ Mooney’ believed, was thoroughly sincere in his belief. Much of Mr. Mooney's investigations had taken piace among the Ar- apahoe tribes, as these Indians seom especially adapted to spiritual ideas and have been active and earnest dissewinators of the Messiah belie! In speaking of the Arapahoes the lecturer ga an account of a futile attempt of his to geta view of some of the relics religiously preserved by the tribes. There is a belief among the tribe that at the creation the great spirit gave the tribe a pipe and an ear of corn and these relics are still zealously guarded and preserved by the northern tribe in Wyoming. THE SIOUX OUTBREAKS. Speaking of the late outbreaks among the Sioux Mr. Mooney held that the ghost dance was only incidental to the outbreaks. The real cause was the failure of our government io carry out its promises. These Indians were too experienved in warfare to deliberately go on the warpath in the midst of winter and with- out provisions, If the ghost dance had not been a mere incident of the outbreaks we should have found an uprising among all tho tribes where a belief in the Mossiah exi ‘The outbreaks cost the government and state of Nebraska about $1,100,000, besides the loss of lite. ‘Mr. Mooney had closely watched the ghost dance and was one of a very few white men who had been allowed to take a close view of the affair. ‘THE INDIAN MESSIAH. The lantern pictures displayed during the lecture were from photographs taken by Mr. Mooney. He possessed the only picture of the Mestiah in existence, which was shown. The Messiah, Mr. Mooney explained, was thirty-six years of age and lived in Mason Valley, Nev. He possessed a typical Piute face. Many pictures of the battlefield at Wounded Knee were shown and these were followed by a re- markable collection of photographs of Indians in the different phases of the ghost dance ijself. Mr. Mooney explained that hypnotism was the basis of the ghost dane Tne belief is that after the da cers go into the stage of insensibility they converse with all their dead relatives and friends.
