WHO IS THE KNAvE OF CLUBS?


The Beginning of the Twentieth Century.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In an allusion in your editorial column of
last evening to the five young ministers on trial
at Williamsburg, Pa. for heresy, it is stated that
we are away from the twentieth century only
nine years. This is SO common an error in cal
culation, though so readily seen upon mo-
ments reflection, that you will pardon me if
readers. Hundreds of times it was necessary
for me to invite attention to similar errors UNI
willingly made by the brightest pupils in high
school in one of our large northern cities. where
l instructed in the history of literature for
twelve years. The fact is, that the last decade
of the nineteenth century will begin January /,
1891. and on that date we shall be away from
the twentieth century just ten years. The nine

mark the entrance Of the twentieth century Oh

The City Should Own Its Tramways.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l would like to remind your Senator, who
fears the loss of Mr.. Springer in case of the
passage Of the no-seat-no-fare bill, that stand
ing on street corners while full cars pass is not
even now an uncommon experience for would
be passengers; moreover if he had taken the
trouble to make himself acquainted with his
subject he would have found that many foreign
municipalities have long since learned to do
things of this sort better than we on this side
and that it is far from impracticable to give
every person a seat. In Paris such a system
has been in force long time. In Liverpool
land elsewhere in England and on the CONT
nent they do these things better still, for there
the city owns its street railways and runs them
with undoubted benefit to all concerned. The
truth is that il what ought to be done here.
The city should buy and run the street car lines,
paying therefor only the estimated cost Of
equipment. To put it on the lowest ground. it
will then be able to establish a system of free
transfers from every line to every other (pon-
der well the saving in that, We government
paupers); to run more cars, to sell ten tickets
or more for quarter, as is now done in Glas-
gov: to give better service, and in q few years
to pay the entire cost of purchase. Not only
this, but the railway employees would undoubt-
edly be much better off; they would have more
Sundays off than in thirteen; they would
not have to snatch their hasty meals i'm the cars
while in notion they would be better paid and,
best of all. they would be under an authority
directly responsible to the public and not
merely to individuals who are naturally more
concerned for their pockets than the welfare of
their employees. However this may be take it
not much sympathy will be wasted on a COM
panv whose stock is almost out of sight. even
should the most radical of the bills under dis
cussion be passed unchanged and our Senators
might do worse than start arolling the ball which
the farmer successors will send home.

DIR. kOCH's REMEDY.
The Two Washington Patients-The Second
Injections Administered, To-day.

The news published in yesterdays srAn that
DR.. Magruder had received a small portion Of
Dr.. Koch's famous lymph has attracted great
deal of local interest in the matter. "Wednesday
DIR. Magruder received five grams Of the much
wanted liquid. Accompanying il was a PAM
phlet from DIR. Koch stating that the lymplr had
been carefully prepared and packed for ship
ment AID that there was no likelihood Of its de-
teriorating or being affected in any way.
Consequently il WAS not thought necessary 10
examine and test it to find if il was still pure
and sterile. As already stated. the first injec-
tons were made by DIR. Magrnder in the pres
ence OF number of prominent physicians at
Garneld Memorial Hospital yesterday
THE TWO PATIENrs
one man Of twenty-one and the other
woman of thirty-eight. were sufferers from
advanced cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Into the back of each was injected a small
quantity of solution of the lymph. From
now on the two cases viii be watched with the
greatest interest, though ii will probably take
at least month before any marked results will
ensue. Zach day an injection increasing
steadily in amount will be made.
TIE SECOND INFECTIONS.
This morning at ii o'clock the second in
tections were made by DR.. Magruder. aided by
DIR. Edes, who is assisting him in these expert
ments. DIR. Theobold Smith. DIR. Heger, Us
A.. and DIR. Dudley Morgan were also present
this morning. No marked changes were noted
IN either case since the first injections were
made yesterday. though both patients were
more cheerful and seemed to be some what im-
proved in condition.
1t had been hoped that the first patients "a
be operated upon would not he so far advanced
In the disease when the treatment began. for ne
yet il Is not claimed BY DIR. Koch hilhself that
the lymph will effect cure in advanced cases
1t Is only expected to mitigate the more seriou.
and unpleasant features OF the disease In i'm.
cipient cases it is hoped and thought that thu
lymph will succeed in bringing about radical
cure.
APPLICANTS FOR TREATMENT.
Already large number of sufferers have ap-
piled at Garfield Hospital for treatment under
the new system. DIR. Magruder has enough Of
the lymph for great many injections and il i,
more than likely that q number of additional
patients will be placed under treatment. prefer
ably those. however. who are suffering from an
inclpient form of the disease.
The physicians are very anxious to test tn,
lymph upon a case of lupus, terrible diseas,
that is fortunately very rare in this country
DIR. Koch has had great success in treating
cases of lupus and if the same lymph cures boti
diseases it would go far toward proving that Tia,
bacllh that cause them are identical. On thu,
point there seems TO be some difference ~

at any rate. as far as it has been trsed in Wash

cred highly satisfactory.

Playing Poker With Kalakaua.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
DECEMBER 10, $780,
Your allusiOn in last evenings issue to the
poker-playing qualities of his majesty, King
ka!akaua, reminds me of q little incident that
may be considered by the distinguished Sena-
tors you mention Herewith as apropos.
A few years since one of Uncle Sans 'sno-
BILE" CD frigates was lying in the harbor at
Honolulu, and attached to her was q jOlly fat
good-natured officer, fav0rite with every one.
and who not only took life easily, but thought
able him to enjoy it. While this vessel was in
port and ''all hands were having a good time,
as one always does at that delightful station
the steamer from Australia came in, bringing as
passenger Billy Emerson, the negro min
strel, who was on his way to California loaded
down with doodle" that he had picked up in
the former country. Finding that Honolulu,
as have said, was pretty good place, he con-
cluded to stay over one steamer. Now "Billy's'
reputation as poker lover is pretty well
known and SO is that Of his majesty, so it did
not take long to get up a ''little game" in the
cozy little room well known to those who
have been fortunate 81 enough to get inside
when Herbert kept the hotel So an appoint
ment was made for Billy to meet the king ut this
room, and when his majesty came into the
hotel he was accompanied by q certain colonel
on his staff, who owned a well-known butcher
stand in the town. In passing through the
billiard room his majesty spied our jovial ''son
of Neptune" whom we will call Jim for
short, because that is not his name, and know
ing his well-known scent for battle invited
Linn to join in the fight.
When the game began It was Jim's first bet,
and being modest, as all navy men are he
Clipped up IS. The colonel came next and
raised $40; then his majesty saw that and went
$50 better, which made our jolly mariner q
little faint but when Billy saw the last raise
and went $500 better poor Jim Laid down his
hand and came out to the bar room to get some
medicine" OF course, every one there wanted
fellows" he said. ''that il the d-dest game Of
poker ever got into; o lieutenant, q butcher, a
NI6GRR MINSTREL and KING! It is too high
toned for me.' ONE WHO Was TarRr.
