From Soldiers Home a run was made to
Brightwood, where watermelons from the cold

the melons had been enjoyed the dining room
was cleared for a dance. Brightwood was kept
awake for couple Of hours and each time
club cry was given the dogs through the

The first smoker Of the Nomads as well as
the entire entertainment of their guests, was a

GARBAGE IN OTHER CITIES.
Places Where the Contractor Pays the City

Places Where the Contractor Pays the City
for the Privilege OF Removing 1t.
1T might be interesting just at this time to
know the disposition made Of garbage, dead
animals and dogs in some of the leading cities"
said Chief Clerk Sylvester Of the police depart
ment to STAR reporter. ''In st. Louis. for
instance, the work is done by contract, and the
garbage material has pecuniary value to the
contractor. All the cast-off material from
large houses and hotels contain more or less
grease, which goes through a rendering pro-
cess and is retained for soap manufacture. 1t
goes through the same refining process that
does other cast-offs. The refuse is utilized as
fertilizer. You will be surprised when l tell
you that IN that city instead of the munich
fality paying for the removal of dead animals
the contractor pays the city for the privilege.
and when bids are let the competition is lively.
The carcasses from the streets. stock yards
and elsewhere are taken beyond the city, where
the hide, fat, hoofs, horns and bones are uti-
Med. Instead OF removing the dogs taken by
the poundmaster by shooting. as is done here,
they are placed in an alright compartment.
Charcoal gas is then introduced and the ami
mails go of in a hurry without struggle.
In baltimore the garbage is gathered daily
and taken In scows down the bay to truck
farms. The contractor, it is said, pays the city
about 5000 year for the privilege, but these
OF course are large commercial cities, where
the quantity of material is sufficient to warrant
the mode Of removal

How to Dispose of Garbage.

To the Editor OF The Eveninl, Star:
have read the various suggestions on the
garbage question, most OF which related more
especially to the manner of performing the
service.
MIR. Cranes suggestion that there should be
law or regulation specifying tight metallic
receptacle for il. and that they should be
placed in the alleys or where they could be
readily reached without waiting for the servants
TO open gates, &c, are very good and ought to
be adopted.
In today's Post / see a note from Dr.
Verdi suggesting that the garbage be burned
That heartily approve. 1t Is the only proper
and successful method of disposing of 1t finally.
Furnaces for this specia, purpose have been
them with two fire chambers, the first to ere
mate the garbage and the second to consume
the smoke and gases given off by the burning
OF the material in the first. all offensive odors
and deleterious gases are entirely eliminated.
Such furnace was i'll use in Iowa two years
ago, apd read report Of COMMITTEES from

Endorsed it i'll the highest terms.
According to that report. while they were
present there was dumped into the furnace
| several cart loads o. wet garbage dead horse
and mass of other refuse. and in few hours
it was completely consumed.
The idea Of consuming noxious gases and
odors given of by the drying of offal for ferti-
lizers, and by apparatus for the extraction of
fatty matter from dead animals &c, is quite
common. and in many cities parties engaged in
such business are required by the municipal
regulations to use such appliances. In these
and similar matters We are far behind Europe,
as indeed We are in nearly all municipal mat
tiers.

GAMBLING ACROSS THE RIVER
Steps Taken to Secure I1dictmenfs In TIM
Alexandria County Courts.


Alexandria County Courts.
Detective Block Of Washington was present
at the opening Of the county court yesterday,
when Judge Chichester charged the grand jury
on the question Of breaking up the numerous
gambling dens in the county. The Washing
ton officer has been in the county a number Of
times recently securing evidence against the
gamblers, he having been detailed 70 assist the
attorney for the commonwealth, Mr.. r. A.
Johnston. When the court convened Judge
Chichester proceeded to charge the jury. He
told them that the principal matter to come
before them was the alleged violation Of the
gambling law. He spoke of the advantages
the county should have OH account Of its close
proximity to the national capital. He said that
the county's prospects were bright, that the
railroad facilities, already good were inprov-
ing rapidly and the county was keeping
pace with improvements in other directions
But he said if the gamblers from the capital
are permitted to carry on their business with
out molestation, not much can be expected IN
the line of bringing good citizens across the
river.
The Judge instructed the members Of the
grand jury that they should carefully consider
the question and that they could procure wit
nesses and indict every violator of the law.
When the time came for hearing the evidence
the grand jury learned that number Of wit
nesses against the larger establishments had
been spirited away, although Detective Block
had enough witnesses left to give testimony
against dozen of the smaller places, and that
number of indictments are expected to be re-
turned today.
