THE NATIONALS HAvEA NEW PITCHER AND
WIN ANOTHER GAME.
The Nationals clearly outplayed the St Louis
Maroons again yesterday and won by score
of 5 TO in six innings. The home team scored
another run in their half of the seventh inning
by a drive over the fence by kreig. The game
was called on account of darkness before the
visitors had played their half The features of
the game were phenomenal catches by Carroll
and McGeachy. Henry made his first appear
ance with the Statesmen and pitched remark
ably well, permitting but tour Eits to be made
off his delivery. He batted and ran well also,
and showed that the Nationals have secured
another treasure from Hartford A great many
base ball patrons are dissatisfied that the games
at Capitol park do not commence earlier. 1t is
almost impossible to finish a game between
4:15 and dark, and the spectators would much
prefer witnessing the last six innings OF the
game than the first six, SO that an earlier start
would not affect the attendance.

TINE WASTE or WATER.
Col. LudlOW's Plan for Increasing the
Present water Supply Throaghoat the
City.

81 suppose that this city wastes moro water
than any other In the country" remarked Com
missioner Ludlow, in the course OF a converse
lion with a STAR reporter. "The amount OF
water consumed, shows this TO be tr1ie, and, yet
paradoxical a. IL may seem, the water supply
may be said to be meager, and In some sections
of the city, that word would not do Justice 10
the existing conditions. Whenever some one
complains that he is not receiving the water
which he thinks that he is entitled 70, not even
sufficient quantity for household purposes, he II
quieted with the Information that he will have
plenty of water when the new aQueduct Is nm
ished. In the meantime. people are expected
to get along as best they can. Now, for my part,
l have no doubt but that the new aQueduct VIII
increase the present water supply, but 1t may
is enough, and more than enough, for all the
needs OF this city. The amount Of water now
brought into the city, daily, is $50 gallons per
lens, and when was there, we found that all
over Do gallons, was waste. On the same ratio,
something like two-thirds Of the water supply
run away into the sewers"
"How WAS the waste prevented in Philadel-
I'VE had regular force of water inspectors"
was the reply, "who went about the city and
detected where the water was being wasted
and put stop to 1t. In many cases people had
the water running all the time, just as thous-
ands are doing In this city at present II, how
ever, there was danger of an inspector putting
in an appearance these Instances would grow
beautifully less. The Commissioners have no
money TO pay for the empioym Of such q
force of men, but it is the intention to ask Con-
gress TO make an appropriation for this pur-
pOse The Commissioners, however, have the
power TO have meters put In places where large
quantities of water are used, and in this way
regulate the most fruitful sources of water
waste. suppose that II would be impossible
to regulate the waste which now goes on in the
department buildings, except through the Co
operation OF the heads of the departments.
There is, no doubt, great waste in the public
buildings, hotels and other places where great
deal OF water is being used. The same waste
goes on in private houses, and am convinced
that there is no necessity for the people OF
Washington to wait Tor the completion OF the
new aqueduct In order to have the present sup.
ply improved. All that is needed is the stop
page of the great waste which goes on every
day to an extent that is simply enormous"

In the case of one injured, but whose
hurt was not positively known, he ad-
viSed that the first act should be to send
for doctor; the next to loosen all tight
articles of clothing on the patient, that
the blood might have free course; the
third act should be to place the injured
person in as comfortable q position as
possible, with his head low down if he
looked pale or was faint, and finally to
sprinkle the face and head with cold
water. In ordinary injuries, he said,
the dirt should be washed out of the
wound, wet linen placed on it, and
then a handkerchief or scarf tied about
it to stop the flow of the blood. In
cases of hemOrrhage he advised if the
blood flowed slightly. that the cut was
not dangerous; that at most u small
blood vessel had been ruptured. But
should the dark blood well out in
steady stream, it was then evident that
a large vein had been opened, and the
flow should be stopped by pressure over
the wound with the fingers or by some
other ready means; but if the blood be
of bright red and spurted out of the
wound forcibly and by jerks, an artery
has been cut and the danger was great.
If the hemorrhage was unimportant-
that is, immediate danger to life if the
injury was not apprehended, stop the
flow by pressure, but if it could not thus
be stopped find the trunk of the artery
between the heart and the wound and
press it firmly with the fingers. As,
however, the hand soon tires in such
cases, the next best thing to do Is to
put tourniquet on ii. A young man
from the audience was called to the
platform, and the method of using a
handkerchief with a stick or bayonet
as a compressor was shown. Simple
and compound fractures were next
taken up. A simple fracture, he said,
was where the skin was not broken.
When bone was broken the fact could
be ascertained by any one whose head
was cool and whose nerves were steady.
In the first place the limb was shorten
ed; next, there was an unnatural move
ment in the seat of fracture; then there
was violent pains, and lastly, the ends
of the bones grated against each other
if the patient were not Immediately
placed in an easy position. Disloca-
tions We're at once seen by the altered
appearance of the joint, by the mobility
of the loosed bone and by the effort to
move the joint causing intense pain.
The treatment was to promptly replace
the joint, but this could only be safely
done by surgeon. Surgeon Fatentine,

Three American tIoyeIists.

We have long been used to the spec

their work with all the regularity and
punctuality of machine in good run
ming order Anthony Trollope and
MIS- Oliphant occur at once to one as
authors whose fiction could be counted
on every season, year after year; and
there was something agreeable in the
reflection that one would get his minor
canon or small lord, with now and then
a bishop and a premier, as promptly
and as surely as he got his taX-bill. 1t
is only now, however, that one may
count with equal confidence upon the
home supply. and through the agency
Of the monthly magazine one may have
his James, or his Crawford, or his How
els, year in and year out. We name
these three because they are at present
the most distinctly professional novel
ties in America, and add their books to
the annual sum of fiction with delight
full regard for the public eye and ear.
Surely, it is no small mercy, that, in
these davs of wearisome readluStment
of all earthly affairs, three estimable
gentlemen devote themselves with in
credible industry and cheerfulness to
the task of entertaining their country
men. They are knights of labor who
never seem dissatisfied with their lot,
never work less than twenty-four hours
a day,-it is impossible that they can
accomplish all they do in less time,-
