Sick Horses I'm the Streete

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
beg thepriyilege of your columns to correct
an erroneous impression that might be given
by an article in Wednesdays STAR under the
caption of "Sick Horses in the Streets" The
ambulance spoken of as being at McDermott's
is the property of veterinary surgeon who
brought it here last fall, and has offered it to
the Washington Humane society for $500,
though it cost him 800. Neither the W. II. S.
nor the city own an ambulance as yet. Three
humane and public spirited women donated
S245, and one-half the proceeds of the matinee
on the 18th will give something over $500 more
50 that this Cor another ambulance) will now
become the property of the society. But there
must be horses to draw it and fund to sustain
the expenses of running it, in order that it may
be of use to the public. Those who think the
humane society should do this at present have
only to consult the secretary's report for 1888,
which will show how economically the society s
meager income has been managed and the
very small balance in the treasury at present

An Ungratefui Nepheyy.

Charles P. Clute is timer by trade, and is
said to be an excellent mechanic, but whisky
has more charms for him than sheets of tin,
and the consequence is that he is in the hands
Of the law. He has a wife and two children,
who have good home at the house of Clute's
uncle, Mr.. ID. s. L. johnson, No. 719 18th
street. Chute does not seem to appreciate his
good fortune, for he continues to use intoxi-
cants, and when drunk does things for which
he is sorry when he gets sober. Yesterday was
no exception to the general rule, for when he
got half full" as the policeman says, he went
to his uncle's house and used profane and
abusive language toward him. When Police
mad Smith arrested the young man he ex-
pressed desire to get even with his uncle and
asked the officer what it would cost him to dc
it. This morning Judge Miller fined Clute %
or Is days.

Whisky Goes in With the White Man.

The commissioner of internal revenue has
decided that under the recent act of Congress
and the proclamation of the President in rela-
ton to Oklahoma, it ceases to be an Indian
country" and that special tax stamps may be
sold to wholesale and retail liquor dealers to
engage in business therein under the same
terms and regulations as in other states and
territories in the United States. By previous
act of Congress it was provided that no ardent
spirits should be introduced into what is known
as the Indian country" except by the author
lty and under the control of the Secretary of
War. The Indian territory has heretofore
been considered as Indian country. but the
commissioner holds that as the government has
purchased the interest Of the Indian tribes in
Oklahoma the latter can no longer be consid-
law upon that subject does not now apply to
tne new territory. The effect of this decision
Will be to allow wholesale and retail liquor
dealers to purchase special tax stamps in Okla
homa on the same terms as in other sections of
the country, and internal revenue agents will
be ordered there to sell them and to protect
government interests

The Church of the Covenant.

The crowded attendance at the Church of the
Covenant and the difficulty of seating strang-
ers promptly, led to a request last Sunday
morning for all pew-holders to remain at the
close of the service. The pastor stated that
the congregation was very desirious of show
ing hospitality and of having perfect order and
decorum during the public worship, and asked
that all seats not taken, or of whose intended
occupancy notice has not been given to the
ushers, be at their use for seating guests when
the congregation begin to sing the ''Gloria in
Excelsis." A motion of the Hon. Gardiner G..
Hubbard, numerously seconded, to this effect
was unanimously passed.

True Friendship.

A man for whom we have always had
the highest regard said in our hearing
recently: "a mans friends are his capital,
a truth to which We heartily assent One
may have honor, position, great wealth or
learning, but if we have not friends Of
what avail are they There is no treasure
so precious as life long friendship. How
few such friendships there are There
are so many ways of losing friends that
when one is gained he should be grappled
to with hooks of steel Pride, selfshness,
advancement or adversely, should never be
thought of between friends IF only the
same excellence i looked for that we are
willing should be sought for in us, if only
the same standard is used by which we are
willing to be measured, then there would
be much less to divide those who give
promise of being lifelong friends, and it
must always be remembered if man is to
have friends he must show himself friendly.

sedentary Life.

There are hundreds of people today lead
ing sedentary lives who ought to profit by
the warning contained in Lord Baeons-
fields case. Next to the gospel of rest, Of
which so much has been said, there is
nothing more sadly neglected than the
gospel of exercise. The man who is COM
PEELED to sit all day at desk in counting
room and undergo the anxiety of respon-
sibihty and the worry of business cannot
afford TO do so without exercise. He may
be pleased to think that he keeps his skin
dry and that his limbs do not ache; the
man who exercises his muscles until a
gentle moisture shall come over him will
feel freshness and vigor and enjoy a
healthful rest otherwise unobtainable. Such
exercise will aid his digestive powers; it
will enable him to throw off disease when
ever it may come, and it will save him
from dyspepsia, and from the horrors of a
torpid liver, with all the mental ailments
which come in its train. DIR. Kidd only
utters truth, which is as old as the world
itself, when he says that Nature has a
Nemesis power Of revenging herself on
the man of sedentary life.

pisagreeable Habits.

Nearly all the disagreeable habits which
people take up come at first from mere
accident or want Of thought. They might
easily be dropped, but they are persisted
in until they become second nature. Stop
and think before you allow yourself to
form them. There are disagreeable habits
of the body, like scowling, winking, twist
ing the mouth, biting the nails, continually
picking at something, twirling key, or
fumbling at a chain, drumming with the
fingers, serewing or twisting chair or
whatever you lay your hands on. Don't
do any of these things. Learn TO sit quiet
ly like gentleman, We were going to say,
but we are afraid girls fall into suck tricks
sometimes. There are much worse habits
than these, to be sure; but We are speak
ing only of these things that are only an
noying when they are persisted in. There
are habits of speech also, such as beginning
every speech with s'you see, or "you know,
nova, II don't care, "tell ye what,
'.tell We now" indistinet utterance, sharp,
nasal tones; avoid them all. Stop and
think what you are going to say, and then
let every word drop from your lids just as
perfect as new silver coin. Have a care
about your way of sitting and standing
and walking. Before you know it you
will find that your habits have hardened
into coat of mail that you cannot get rid
of without terrible effort.
