How 20 Dlsinfect.

Clothing which requires disinfect-
ing should be submitted for about
three hours 10 a temperature of $50
degrees in a chamber charged with
sulphuric fumes from a large guam
tity Of sulphur. The chamber should
be SO constructed as TO prevent the
fumes from passing of. No germs
can stand this.
After a room has been used by a
person sick with any contagious dis
ease, il becomes necessary TO disinfect
IL before IL is fit TO be used again. This
Is done by removing and burning the
paper on the walls, removing the bed
steads and other furniture, and expo
sing them TO air and wind, and giving
them a fresh coat OF varnish; by hav
ing the mattress made over new and
the hair boiled; by burning in the
room three pounds OF sulphur, and by
w~hitewa.hing, painting aud pspering
the Don anew.
Now that il is generally conceded
that consumption is caused by germs
which multiply in the lungs, q meth
cd of disinfecting them, which shall
be harmless, has been sought for, but
as yet without avail. The vapor Of
creosote. the oil Of the eucalyptus and

the lungs are delicate, and the vapor

without injury, the good effects are
slight. But there is n method which

that is the inhalation OF large quaint

more than any d~isinfectant for the

untrue that DIR. Bushnell does not
believe that he even went there.
DIR. Bushnell believes that in the
matter of dens such as described,
Wisconsin is the most infamous
state in the Union. All over the
northern part Of the state there
are so-called hospitals, ostensibly
for lumbermen, but in reality for
the treatment of vile diseases.
DIR. Bushnell found a man who
had been manager of eleven OF
these so-called hospitals.
Up in a house at Ashland w.
H. Griffin emptied a can of kero-
Gene upon the person of a young
girl and set fire to her. Burned
to death by w. G. Griffin" was
the coroner's verdict. The case
was never prosecuted, because the
prosecuting attorney refused to do
SO. Whenever things grew too
hot and ministers and others
insisted upon a raid the keepers
Of the dens were promptly notified.
They sold their female inmates to
other keepers, and after affairs
had quoted down the dens were
started up again.
At the conclusion of her lecture
DR.. Bushnell announced that she

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, JAN. I'd, 1889
New Years Day is '1e jour de.
L an" in Washington in more than
one sense. There is probably no
more interesting annual event at
the Capitol than the reception
at the White House. Independ-
ence Day and Washington's
birthday are public holidays, and
they are celebrated with blare of
trumpets, beating of drums and
the marching of soldiers and civic
organizations to the sound of
music, but New Years Day is
recognized in an official way. It
is the one day in the year when
not only the President, but the
Presidents wife and the members
of the Cabinet are on parade
before the public. 1t is indeed
little more than an exhibition of
the administration circle, for in
the midst of the crowd that
presses through the reception
rooms at the White House there
is no time or opportunity for
interchange Of compliment or
conversation.
The Presidents New Years
reception this year did not differ
materially from similar events of
former years. AS usual the
parlors of the old mansion were
decorated with flowers and
tropical plants, the gowns of the
receiving party were handsome
and in most instances tasteful and
becoming, Mrs. Cleveland was
pretty and pleasing as she always
is, the President was untiring in
his efforts to give everyone a smile
and a cordial grasp, the weather
bureau did its duty by furnishing
an idea day, and the official world
of the capitol turned out enmasse
to pay its respects and to show
itself.
The reception began at II
o'clock, and as soon as the
members of the Cabinet and their
families had been received by the
President and Mrs. Cleveland, the
receiving line was formed and the
Diplomatic Corps arrived; it was
headed by the FIaytien Minister,
who, although he represents
probably the least important
nation which has recognition from
this Government, is the Dean of
the Corps through length of
service here. The members of
the Corps were brilliantly attired
in uniforms and costumes of
varied cut and color, the court
costumes of the different nations
which they represent. The
Chinese Ministry and his suite,
with their long silken robes and
their little caps were picturesque
figures, and the Coreans made
unique group, it being the first
New Years reception they have
ever attended. The reception Of
the Supreme Court followed. The
Justices were in their robes, but
in place of the familiar figure of
Chief Justice Wait was the
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1889-01-10

unfamiliar figure of his distin-
guished successor Chief Justice
Fuller. Then came the Senator's.
the members of the House of
Representatives, the officers of the
Army and Navy, and Department
officials and the Organization of
veterans.
The officers of the Army and
Navy always come to the Execu-
tive Mansion in their uniforms.
There are few occasions for the
officers who ARE stationed in
Washington to wear their
uniforms. In fact they never
wear them except on official
occasions. Between Christmas
and New Year these uniforms are
brought out of trunks and packing
cases where they have lain with
moth paper and camphor for
perhaps a year, brushed, aired,
and furnished up ready for the
White House reception. 1t is not
surprising therefore that many of
them present comical peculiarities
of appearance. Some are too
tight for their owners who have
grown stout in the easy routine
of Washington life Others hang
too loosely on the shoulders OF
the young officials who have
grown thin through incessant
attendance to social duties, and to
some from long disuse, the sword
is so unaccustomed an implement,
that it is in danger of tripping
them up when they make
obeisance on their presentation.
But the uniforms are bright and
gay, and they give a necessary
touch of color to the collection of
black-trock coats and old and
new-fashioned dress suits in the
great East Room.
At 1890 the official reception
closes, and the public reception
begins. Up to this hour no one
has been admitted TO the White
House grounds who dQes not
belong to one or the other of the
official delegations, with the
exception Of the newspaper
correspondents, who have the
entree at all times. At a signal
from the White House door, the
gate at the west end of the
grounds is opened, and two by
two the unofficial visitors, the
people, "the great unwashed" are
admitted. From this time until
the gates are closed again there is
a constant stream of men, women
and children of all colors and
conditions Of life pressing through
them, up the broad pathway,
through the wide halls and into
the Blue Room. Yesterday when
the gate was thrown open, on the
Avenue the double line Of people
extend eastward past the White
House grounds, past the great
Treasury building and around the
corner and down Fifteenth Street.
There was no pretention to style
about this crowd. It was Demo-
cratic in every sense, and while it
was not, perhaps, the gayest
it was the most interesting line of
visitors that passed through the
White House and grasped the
Presidential hand that day.

things we'll.

brothers and sisters, our sincere SYM

Division; that it be published in each
of the city papers, and copy be sent
to the stricken relatives and publish
ed in the Rdilacay Conductor.

A few days ago two ministerial !"
looking gentlemen arrived in town

The two sharps took the two ne
groes in tow at the B. &. o. station
and crossed the bridge to Maryland,
where they amused themselves for
awhile throwing dice. Suddenly one
of the sharps became obliged to get
a drink of water and left his three
companions. His partner then show
ed the colored men how he could
throw the 5 spot of the dice every
time and proposed they bet against
the other man on his return. This
was agreed to and done, and in three
bets the negroes and their white

the other white man. Then the loser
was again obliged to quench his thirst.
and during his absence showed his
colored " friends " how he could make
the spot come up nearly evey time
and advised them to bet on that, tell
