her lungs in serious condition and her health fan

About Oct. 1881. she applied at the oice OF Mrs

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure. the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
Of medicines. See other column.

WASHINGTON.
COINAGE.

WASHINGTON, March 4-Representative
Bland, member of the committee on coin
age, weights and measures, made an argu-
ment before that committee, to-day in favor
OF the establishment of mint ut ST. Louis
or some other eligible point in the Nissis-
sippi valley. Bland urged the Importance
OF populariZing silver coin as means en-
couraging habits of economy and saving
among the people, which he considered fal
better than the continuance Of the present
system, which results in docking up in
the vaults of the Treasury large pro-
portion of the standard silver dollars and
thereby practically demonetizing silver
Burchard, director Of the mint, also made
statement favorfng generally the establish
ment Of mint at some point in the Mis-
sissippi valley.
MAIL ROUTE LETTINGS.
The contract division of the Postoffice
Department to-day sent out nearly 5000
notifications to successful Star route con-
tractors, informing then of the official
acceptance of their proposals for service.
The aggregate sum of their bids is about
q, ,0000 900. A. f. Boone, one of the CEN
tractors now under indictment for con-
spiracy by the Grand Jury has received
awards, although if found guilty of this
offence the department may begin proceed
ings looking to cancelling these and sim
liar contracts.
The Secretary of War to-day telegraphed
Senator Vest, of Missouri, III reply to a
telegram from Governor Crittenden for
more ration, as follows: Eight days sup
ply for number stated by him Governor
Crittenden) in Mississippi and Pemiscott
counties had already been sent. In view
of the enormous demands from lower down
the river, it does not seem advisable to
increase the supplies to this point. At
present. forexample, the Arkansas commits
sioners asked Is, 600 rations for forty DAYS
which alone would cost about $40, 900
more than the total amount appropriated
by Congress for all sufferers.
Secretary Lincoln has been busy to-day
in perfecting plans for the distribution
of the subsistence stores authorized by Con
gress to be issued to those made destitute
by the food in the Mississippi valley
From data furnished he thinks four times
the sum granted ceuld be expended with
out meeting the actual immediate needs of
the people Eight officers of the army
will be detailed to investigate the wants OF
the people on the spot and Gen. Sheridan
has been ordered to detail four or more
from these IN ms DIVISION 10 proCceu at
once to the flooded district. In view of the
widespread distress it is intended by the
delegation from the states affected to ask
Congress for an additional appropriation
for relief, also to furnish the poor with
some corn for the spring planting, as all
corn for that purpose is destroyed and
unless it can be promptly replaced the suf-
fsring of the present will be turned into
absolute famine during the year.
Advocates of the improvement of the
Mississippi river are using the present con
dition of the valley as strong argument
in favor Of liberal appropriations to build
national levees and straighten the course
of the river.

THE OLDEST CLUB IN THE WORLD


1t was mentioned in yesterdays STAR that
the President and members of the Cabinet will
go to Philadelphia next Monday to attend
the annual dinner Of the Schuylkill Fishing
Company on the afternoon of that day. IL Is
claimed that the company named Is the oldest
clab in the world, since the demise of the Beef
steak Club. 1t was organized in 1872. The
membership is limited to very small number
and the members are all very prominent and
wealthy. Their ''castle," or '.shanty" as it is
commonly called. is situated on the Schuylkill
short distance from PHILADELPHIA It is very
unpretentious building, but it ia always kept
wonderfully neat and clean. The invitations are
very handsome, bearing the motto of the club
an engraved fish. The popularity Of
the club is that they have no servants
at the dinners. All the work, prepar-
ing the fish. cooking and waiting on the table
being done by members. who wear large aprons
with painted fish on them. new member Of
the CLUB is obliged to serve regular appren-
ticeship. His first duties are fish cleaning
cooking, waiting on the table, and eating being
the regular gradatiOns. Besides the annual
dinners. private dinners are occasionally given
by members at the castle.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR.
My attention has been called to what purports
to be monstrous phase Of wrong done by Chi
nese in California, as set forth in communica-
tion from q woman Of that state in the ReDub-
lcan Of this morning.
Though not In favor OF the immigration of
that people to our shores, and this from thor
ough personal knowledge Of them on the Pacific
coast since 1S49. have employed them "a ser
wants and lab0rers, and know their habits; and
yet / have never heard Q word or known an
instance Of such 0utrages BY them ~ this anony-
nous correspondent discloses.
As = physician Of the California Medical Soci-
ETY., and extensively acquainted there, must
have known Of some cases Of such inhuman
wrongs had they existed; but have never
known or heard OF . single instance, and can
only regard the statement Of the writer In Ques-
ton a. utterly without any foundation.
1t iswell known in California that the Chinese
are fond OF children, and that they usually treat
them very kindly: and have known Of mothers
being especially watchful Of them IN relation to
their young daughters. But OF any well
founded complaints Of this sort have never
yet heard.
Let us keep to the truth. And let those who
know least have the least to say. confess to
great surprise at the resolutions Of the n J.
Congregational association on the subject Of the
Chinese, and that they were put through that
body here last week without word Of debated
More than this, that they were urgently brought
to the attention Of the President, az they were,

been overstated In Congress. and Il does not
