A Material Increase in the Number of Deaths Last Week. “The low rate of mortality which has Prevailed throughout the winter under- went a sudden change last week,” says the weekly report of Health Officer Ham- mett. “There was a material increase in the number of deaths over that of the pre- ceding week. The number reached 130, as against 95, and the rate went up to 23.7, as compared with 19.3 by the last report. No especial cause for this rise can be assigned, the mortality having arisen along the line generally. There was a decline in the deaths from grip, as well as those from diphtheria. The two deaths from scarlet fever are the first that have occurred through this malady for some time. The number of cases of diphtheria throughout the city is evidently lessening, according to the reports of physicians, and the same |. may be said as to scarlet rash, which has continued so largely for the last several months. Infant mortality still remains be- low the average. Nearly one-fourth of all the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions, and quite the same number were persons over sixty years of age. There is an indication of increase from lung troubles, especially from pneumonia and its complications. An unusual num- ber of deaths from violence occurred, there having been eleven of these, one of which was by homicide, three from falls, one drowning, two by negligence and two from wounds received in the late civil war.” e report shows: Number of deaths, 130; white, 74; colored, 56. Death rate per 1,000 per annum—White, 19.2; colored, 32.3. Total population, 23.7. Thirty-nine ‘were under five years of age, 27 were under one year old and 30 over sixty years. Thirty- one of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 21; constitution- al, 24; local, 63; developmental, 11; violence, 11. The principal causes of death were: Croup, 3;. diphtheria, 4; consumption, 14; diarrhoeal, 1; typhoid fever, 4; scarlet fever, pneumonia, 14; congestion of the lungs, wonchitis, 5; kidney diseases, 5; cancers, catarrhal influenza, 5.

At the recent meeting of the (istrict of Columbia Society, Sons of the American Revolution, at the society's headquarters, 1419 F street northwest, the #mendments to the constitution and by-laws of the so- elety suggested by experience or found tiecessary to bring them into harmony with the new constitution of the national society were considered. The proposition to in- crease the annual dues from $3 to $5 was defeated, the right to nominate officers from the floor was retained and a very pret- ty and appropriate form for installing com- patriots of the society was added to the by-laws. The annual meeting for election of officers and transaction of business will be held at noon on the 22d instant, the anniversary of the birth of George Washington.

Mr. Grossmith’s Recital—Mr. George Grossmith might have been better pleased with the quantity of his audience at Met- zerott’s Hall last night, but he surely could not -have been better pleased with the quality, for it was real quality, that kind witich observes Lent by such mild dissipa- tion as Mr. Grossmith presents. It was an audience ready to unbend from its Lenten reserve and under the genial warmth of the entertainer’s manner and matter it did unbend and it had a real jolly time. As an entertainer, he is sui generis, and the songs that he sang and the talks that he talked were to the point always, and with them were the imitations in instrumentation on the pianoforte. His recital was divided into three parts, the first being on enter- taining; the second, on how he discovered America, and the third, humorous illustra- tions and ‘imitations. It is difficult to de- scribe just how Mr. Grossmith reaches his audience, but he does, and enfolds it to his bosom, as it were, and the audience seems to be willing to stay right there. His imi- tations, musical and otherwise, are ex- cellent, and some of the songs and pleas- ant take-offs on America, abstract and concrete, are unusually funny. The art of entertaining, he said, was prac- ticed by two classes, one, that did know how to entertain, but wouldn’t; and the other, that didn’t know how to entertain, but would. The evening party, where the hostess makes miserable everybody else by asking somebody to recite, was pleasantly done. In his talk on “How I Discovered America,” he burlesqued the people who, on shipboard, are always volunteering prescriptions and advice to those who are not sick. He did up the American hotels, the American waiter, American drama, the American girl, and various other things American. All this was done, however, so good-naturedly and so excellently that the audience was convulsed with laughter and really regretted when the entertainment was over. He will be heard again tonight @ week. Mrs. John Drew.—Next week will witness the return to Washington of that distin- guished artiste, Mrs. John Drew, who will appear on Monday and Saturday nights and Thursday matinee (Washington's birth- day), In “The Rivals” on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and Saturday matinee in “The Road to Ruin,” and on Wednesday and Friday nights, in “The Jealous Wife.” The old comedy company includes Mrs. John Drew, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, and such well-known players as Charles B, Hanford, Charles Erin Verner, George Os. borne, Frank Mills, Mrs. McKee Rankin and Miss Pixey Rankin. Ruin” has been described as Holcroft's greatest dramatic production. It has lived for ages; outlived many old and more new plays during the past and present genera- tion than any manager would care to try to recount. If a small fraction of modern Piays were as successful as “The Road to Ruin” has proved, the theatrical road would not contain so many wrecks. The comedy will be presented in a somewhat recon- structed form, but will possess all of its original interest and charm. Sale of seats will open tomorrow morning. The Fast Mail.—Next week Lincoln J. Carter's ‘Fast Mail” will be presented at Harris’ Bijou Theater. ‘The play is famous throughout the country for the complete- ness and magnitude of its mechanical ef- fects. The production is under the personal supervision of the author, and special scen- ery is carried for the ten complete sets used in the play. In the second act a steam- boat bolier room is shown with the intricate machinery and glowing furnaces. The rail- way scene is one which surpasses anything of the kind previously attempted. A freight train, with fourteen cars, is run across the stage with illuminated caboose and prac- tical locomotive. In the last act a stupen- dous representation of Niagara Falls is shown, real water being used. The South Before the War.—Whallen and Martell’s big company of Ethiopian artists in “The South Before the War” will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week. The attractiveness of this organization is well known: to Washingtonians, the perform- ance being a faithful representation, tl- lustrating plantation life before the war. The scenes of the play are arranged.so as to give full scope to the eccentricities, fes- tivities and follies of the original southern darkey. Banjos are twanged in accompani- ment to weird plantation melodies, thi there are those ludicrous “break down: and sand dances. large, well drilled chorus, there are four ex- cellent quartets and a host of sterling specialty features thoroughly in keeping with the plot of the piece. The C. Cour: ‘The entertainment tonight at Metzerott’s Hall in the C. C. Course will be the presentation for the first time in this city of Mr. George Riddle, who now holds the foremost position before the public as a reader. He has met with great success in Boston and elsewhere, and his “The Road to power of entertaining an audience is re- markable. Although he is noted as a Shakespearean student, and is one of the most intellectual interpreters from an elo- cutionary standpoint of the works of the great dramatist, he will tonight present a miscellaneous program that cannot fail to satisfy every one. Mr. Riddle should be greeted by a crowded house and it is safe to predict that he will furnish one of the most satisfactory and enjoyable evenings in the entire C. C. course. Mr. Bacon on “Outlook and Insight."’--Mr. Geo. A. Bacon will deliver a free lecture on. “Outlook and Insight” this evening at 8 o'clock in the chapel of All Souls’ Church, corner of 14th and L streets northwest, un- der the auspices of the Parish Union. Miss Jane Meade Welch's Lectures.—“The Earliest Americans,” ‘ s America Dis- covered Before 1492?" “Old Mexico and Its Conquest,” are some of the subjects of a course of lectures on “How They Found the New World,” to be given by Jane Meade Welch Saturdays and Wednesdays in the Builders’ Exchange Hall. Miss Welch has been heard before in Washington, where her enthusiasm, her _ self-devotion and knowledge of her subject attracted large audiences. The lecturer is of the opinion that America has a history, and an en- chanting one, and that Americans should devote as much time to its study as they do to that of foreign countries. Like a New Man ALDERMAN FREIENSEHNER TELLS HOW HE WAS CURED. NEURALGIA OF THE STOMACH—GREAT BENE- FIT TO WIFE AND FAMILY. The tollowing letter has been received from Mr. Frederick A. Freiensehner, a well-known Jeweller and engraver of Newark, N. J., and a member of the board of aldermen: “C. I.

The Central Committee Listens to Re- ports and Makes Appropriations. The regular weekly meeting of the central relief committee was held yesterday after- noon in the Post building. There were pres- ent Chairman Tracey, J. W. Somerville, L. 8. Emery, John F. Cook, Dr. L. W. Ritchie, Mrs. J. W. Babson and Miss Harriet B. ring. Mr. Godwin of the canvassing committee reported that up to noon yesterday $12,616.35 had been collected in cash. This amount exceeded the amount which it was stated in the report of the previous week might be approximated. The canvass had not been completed, as a few small returns were still to be made. Chairman Truesdell hoped by, the time the books closed $13,000 would be collected. Miss Loring read the following report from Chairman Gardner of the com- mittee on distribution: “During the past week there have been distributed from the central relief com- mittee depot thirty-five loads of supplies, bringing the number of full loads sent out to date up to 105. “The receipt of contributions of supplies in provisions, fuel and clothing has iatural- ly diminished with the completion of the work of the canvassing committee. Urder the circumstances, however, the continued display of generosity by the householders and merchants of the District has been very gratifying. The committee on distribution aot and Lereithadi yes as fost supplies, especial! visions will continue, and that citizens will send their donations of useful articles direct to the central relief committee at 624 Louisi- ana avenue, or send notice there, in order that donations may be called for. “The furni of free transportation by the police and by liberal merchants has ren- dered the cost of distribution insignificant, and it is believed that no similar movement has attained greater success in proportion to its cost, taking into account the very large contributions of supplies which have cost the committee nothing. “The following appropriations of money are recommended for immediate use: Po- lice department, $1,000; Associated Chari- a $1,000."" Charities, amounting to $749.51. Secretary Somerville read a communica- tion from P. J. Plant, offering to give an oo for the benefit of the relief ‘und. Secretary Somerville stated the entertain- ment to be given by the High School pupils was progressing.A donation in the shape of @ receipted bill for $2.50 was received from Solomon Lewis. The meeting then ad- journed. ——.—__ A Bible Class Reunion. Last evening a pleasant and sociable gath- ering of the members of Mr. C. M.
