NATIONAL TENNIS ASSOCIATION.
Arrangements for the "Open'' Tourna-
ment to be Held Here In September.

Next week q circular will be sent out from
this city to all the leading tennis players in the
country inviting them to take part in the ''open
tournament" which the National tennis asso-
citation arranged to be held here on the 10th of
September. The first tournament of the kind
was held here last year on the grounds Of the
Highland country club, and a number of the
leading tennis players Of the country took part
1t is expected that there will be large num-
Der of entries on this occasion and that the
contest for the championship of the south
will be an interesting one. This tournament
differs from the one held under the auspices Of
the Southern tennis association from the fact
that the entries in the latter are confined to
members Of clubs connected with the associa-
ton.
OPEN TO ALL ooMERs.
The "open tournament" receives entries from
players residing in all parts Of the country
No definite arrangements have as yet been
completed for the entertainment OF the visiting
players, but a number Of tennis PLAYERS and
other persons living in this CITY have expressed
their Willingness to entertain the visitors at
their houses. Those intending to enter the
tournament will be requested to make their in
tention known at as early date as possible. so
that they can be provided with quarters. The
hospitality which was enjoyed BY the players
last year gave them q very pleasant impression
OF the city. and it is probable that the leading
players will be anxious to come here.
THE BACHELOR CLUB GROUNDS
1t has not been finally decided where the
tournament will be held, but it is likely that
the grounds Of the Bachelor club, at the corner
Of 18th and streets, will be offered for the oc-
casion. The grounds are the largest in the city,
and are conveniently located. The member.
ship Of the club has increased so rapidly that
plans are being considered for the enlargement
of the grounds. There are now five courts LAID
out. and it is proposed to move the west fence
and take in enough ground to provide for two
additional courts. 1t is also the intention TO
erect grand stand, SO that the players can wit
ness the games with comfort

A Father Brought Up I'm the Police
Court for Assaulting His Son.

Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court
James Burleigh. who lives in South Washing
ton near the Washington barracks. was charged
with an assault on his fourteen-y ear-old son
James. The case was called to the attention OF
the court by Agent O'Neill Of the Humane So
ciety through a report made by Mrs. F. E.
Limerick, one of Burleigh's neighbors
Mrs. limerick charged that the assault took
place near Mr.. Burleigh's stable door, and that
Burleigh struck the boy with pitchfork and
also kicked him
Mr.. Armes, the prosecuting attorney. said
that on account of the boys relation to the de-
PENDANT and also for the reason that he would
have to live at home he deemed il proper not
to call the boy as a witness.
The defendant claimed that he only slapped
the boy for being disobedient.
In disposing OF the case Judge Mills said that
when parent became incensed and cruelty
Furnishes q child the law must step in and right
matters so far as it can. As the injuries to the
boy did not seem very severe the court i'm
posed on the defendant a fine Of Sl0 or thirty
days. The fine was paid.

How One Hay Fever Victim Views II.

To the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR:
The STAR of August IS contains a very inter-
esting article on the subject of hay fever. The
perusal Of the article induces me to give my
experience and observation for what it is
worth. Ny observation teaches me that hay
fever is not caused by the action of pollen upon
the mucous lining OF the nose, but is caused by
torpidIty OF the liver aud its duets and also the
failure OF the skin to throw of the mucous Sc
cretions of the system. Ii will be observed
that hay fever makes its appearance when the
days are hot and the nights and mornings are
cool While the heat Of the day opens the
pores OF the skin, causing increased Derspira-
uon- &c, the sudden GOODNESS Of the evenings
and MORNINGS suddenly close the pores Of the
skin, thereby throwing back upon the liver the
work which ought to be done by the skin. The
liver being unable to perform the increased
work, becomes torpid or clogged as il were,
and the result Is the mucous secretions of the
system seek the outlet of the threat and nose
There the secretions become a foreign sub
stance and poison TO the balance of the avs
tenn. The result. is Inflammation of the
mucous lining of the nose and throat. which Il
commonly called hay fever. / was taken with
hay fever some years ago and had Que of the
worst cases ever knew. II has returned every
year but have stopped irwithin o few DAYS
every time by the following means: First !
take dose Of blue mass every two or three
weeks so long as think my liver is torpid. !
take tepid bath Of five minutes once a day and
O dose Of red pepper night and morning. Eat
o. little food as possible. Wear WOODEN under.
clothing and take change Of air. / also take
tonic and all the rest and quiet need.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.
Not One Half Of the Dangers Of That
Building Have Been Told.

10 fhs Editor Of TN EVENING srAa
In your issue Of Saturday last you omitted
an important item Of danger in the government
printing Office. I have for several years been
employed in that institution, and from close
personal observation I know what am writing
about
have seen the floor Of the folding room sag
three inches or more when it has been heavily
loaded with folded and pressed sheets, and
even when there was less material than had
been designated BY the architect Of the govern
ment.
In great number Of instances ON Sunday
have been though that building when there
was no sound save the footsteps Of the watch
man going his round. In many instances I
have sat and listened to the startling and omi-
nous sounds OF foreboding danger after the
floors had been unloaded and when the timbers
we're springing back toward their natural level
Every ten or fifteen minutes there would occur
sharp, cracking report and this would 60 on
all day long. The situation was frequently dis
cussed BY very intelligent carpenter, who was
name will be given II needed to corroborate
my assertion. Any builder will say that those
sounds were warnings which declared that the
bond Of the walls were breaking.
THE WALLS DIsINrEaRArEp.
assert that near the west stairway Of the
H-strset wing that the walls are already dis
integrated.
No amount Of snoring up with posts will re-
pair wall which is already permeated with
cracks. While the present public printer has
probably averted great disaster by bis prompt
action in propping up the old shell with forest
OF stout posts, yet the fact remains that the
building is inadequate to meet the demands
which are constantly made upon it.
Further than this, it is o physical impossi-
bility to make it safe from collapse in case of
panic from any cause and a stampede OF
over TWO thousand people in their efforts to
escape.
Even now, after the most careful precau-
uons have been taken, a break would be likely
70 occur near the stairway mentioned.
congress has time after time been advised of
ali the facts in the case, and up to the present
has manifested q stoical Indifference
What if a few hundred working people should
be crushed beyond recognition Their places
could be filed in q week. and an opportunity
would be afored members of Congress. with
out regard to party, to find employment for
some OF the thousand and one applicants of
the people Of their districts, or mayhap of
other districts, when sufficient inducements
were proposed.
So If the government printing Office should
60 down with loss of life and destruction of
property, there would be some compromising
advantages to those who by their Obligations
are In honor bound to protect the life and limb
Of ONE EMPLoYE.
