Utterly Too.Too, Yum.Yum.

She put her pretty lips up against the wire,
which separates the reporters gallery from
the ladies' gallery on the right, and breathed a
tale Of Congressional virtue into the ear OF
THE CRITIC hend, who haunts that locality
daily Sundays excepted. She had heard of
THE CRITICS man-his virtues, worth, wealth
and character, which attributes are only to be
found among the members Of THE CRITICS
reportorial and editorial stan; all this had
been impaired to her, and she conversed freely
and frankly with the scribe.
"You Sec" said she, VI have a number of
friends among the Members" and judging
from her costly apparel her listener thought
go, too; ssand one OF them asked me to come up
and see him to-day in the committee room OF
Where is 1t, do you know?'
ooh, yes; 1t is right opposite that door, but
don't be in hurry, you have got plenty of
time,'. said THE CRITIC, and being thus roas-
sured her tongue was permitted to wag pleas
aptly along.
'sYou see that gentleman sitting down there !,
the one with curly hair; well, he is my friend,
and that other one with the very white
hair-oh, he Is just as sweet as he can
be; he sends me bouquet every day, and he
gave me these earrings. Oh, yes, he is mar
ried," she said, in answer TO a question by the
scribe, shut that don't make any difference;
pulling out very handsome watch, "and 1
must meet my friend,' and tripping gaily
from the gallery she was seen few moments
later tapping gently with her parasol ON the
door Of the committee-room, which opened
and closed upon her sylph-like form, and her
claim for compensation for damages sustained
TO the property OF her parents during the late
the Congressman into whose ears her tale was

THE PROPOSED ABATTorR.
4 Rcnnrf hY NTediicnI Exncrtq.

The committee OF the Medical Society, con-
slsiing OF t. L. McArdlo, NJ. D.; Thomas Au-
tisell, NJ. D., Phi. D., and d. Webster Prentlss,
to whom was referred the letter from the
House Of Representatives Committee on tho
District of Columbia, asking an opinion on II.
II. No. 663i, TO establish an abattolr In
tho District limits, have forwarded report TO
Chairman Neal. The report states that tho
committee have not considered those portions
Of tho bin relating to the details OF the cstab
lishment Of an abattolr. such details as con-
flict with private right or may oppress indl
viduals are best determined by legal experts.
Such details as refer TO sanitary regulations,
choice OF location, inspectors, &c, are very
properly left by the terms of the bill to the
approval Of the health authorities.
"The only question then upon which tho
Medical Society," continued the report, ''feol at
liberty TO express an opinion is the general
one as to the advisability Of establishing u
singl abattoir, under the strict supervision
OF health authorities, in place OF the many now
existing private and irresponsible slaughtor-
houses. On this question there can be but
one opinion from the standpoint of the public
good. The public abattolr system should be
considered "a necessity TO every large city, aud
In the opinion of your committee all private
conflicting interests should be made to yield
TO the public veal"
After pointing out tho advantages to be
gained by union abattoir, the report recon-
mends that the proposed abattoir be placed
east of the city, at a safe distance mot less
than one mle) from the city limits. A location
across the Eastern Branch is indicated.

Zell Hoover.

Il. Zell Hoover was arralgned In the Police
Court to-day on the charge OF obtaining money
under false pretenses. The Government
claimed that Hoover had volunteered TO col
lect a bill for Mrs. Sarah +. Turner, who keeps
n lunch counter on street. which she claimed
was due to her from Mr.. Elliott a messenger
in tho Treasury Department, and that Hoover
messenger, who disputed the bill and refused
to pay it.
Zell then returned to Mrs. Turner and rep
resented that he had filed an order given him
by Elliot with the disbursing clerk, and that
she could collect from him. Mr.. Hoover
claimed sixty cents for this service, and 1t was
paid. The defense disputed this and put Mr..
Hoover on the stand, who said that he had not
represented that he had received an order and
that he had claimed the sixty cents for SER
vices actually rendered.
Judge Smell did not believe the case could
be maintained against Hoover, and dismissed
him
