The Commissioners Assemble In the Big
Lake City.
CHICAGO, June 27.-The Worlds Fair
National Commissioners began their
first meeting in this city at noon yester-
day Judge John 7. Harris, of Vir-
ginia, was chosen temporary chairman
and made brief speech, reviewing the
historical significance of the work in
hand. At the conclusion the roll of the
106 persons who make up the full COM
mission was called and the absentees
proved to be F. G. Bromer, of Alabama;
J. Woodward, of Louisiana; L. Lowndes,
of Maryland; T. E. Proctor, of Massa-
chusetts; William Aiken, of New Hamp-
shire; Mr.. Depew, of New York; A. p.
Butler and J. C. Colt, South Carolina,
and ]. Stearns, of Idaho.
J. H. Mckenzie of Kentucky, offered
a resolution that a committee on per-
manent organization, consisting of
twelve, be appointed by the chair to
recommend to the commission the
names of permanent officers to consist
of a president, secretary and as many
vice-presiden-s as the committee should
deem proper, and to define their duties,
and to further report what standing
committees should be appointed and
their duties. After it had been dis
cussed pro and con. for time the reso-
luton was finally amended by making
it the duty of the proposed committee
to merely point out the officers and the
duties of those who should fill them,
without recommending nominations.
John Boyd Thacher, of New York,
said that within the last fifteen hours
the New York commissioners had been
requested by Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew to
say that his name should not be used in
connection with the presidency.
Colonel C. II. Corbin, U. s. A, was
made temporary sergeant-at-arms and
Chairman Harris then announced the
following as the committee on per.
manent organization: Mckenzie, Of
Kentucky; Ewing, of Illinois; Nc
Donald, of CALIFORNIA;; Smalley, of Yer
mont; Cochrane, of Texas; Widener, OF
Pennsylvania; Goodell, of Colorado
Breslin, of New York; Martindale, Of
Indiana; Harris, OF Minnesota and

SANITARY SUGGESTIONS.

SPRING sanitary measures should in
:lude everything in and around the
house and out-buildings, and are SO inn
portant that the time spent in carrying
them out is used to good advantage.
WHITEwAsH may be abundantly and
sheaply supplied, and there is no reason
why it should not be literally applied
There is an odor of cleanliness about
whitewash, but better still it is cleanli-
ness itself, and likewise deodorizer
and disinfectant.
The household sink should be careful
lY looked after, and it is perhaps better
to do away with sink drain altogether.
A swill-barrel upon wheels may be made
to do the work of the sink drain. 1t
can be kept just below the kitchen
window, and have a pipe from the sink
discharging into it. The barrel should
be emptied daily upon some part of the
garden where it will do good by means
Of the fertilizing matter it contains
COOP sanitation is necessary in and
around the barns and sheds, for unless
such places are kept clean the stmos-
phere of the home surroundings must
of necessity be tainted all summer.
Again, when manure is left to rankle
and leach during summer in the neigh
borhood of the barn yard well, the water
in the latter becomes polluted, and the
milk OF the COWS drinking it can not be
expected to be absolutely healthfuL
CARE should be taken that the cellar
drains are in proper working order, for
during the winter they frequently be-
come clogged and until cleared
are unable TO carry of the
spring rains Such drains are often
sources of danger, if, as is sometimes
the case, they lead to or discharge into
cesspools where disesse-dealing sewer
gas is generated See to ir that such
gas can not shack mp" into the cellar OF
gain access to the house by means oi
the drain from the kitchen sink.
