CABINET TRAGEDIES.
Under President Harrison Matched
by Those Under President Tyler.

Matched
by Those Under President Tyler.
The tragedies in the official family of
President Harrison, great though they
are, are matched by those in the Cab
met of President Tyler, fifty years ago,
says the New York Sun. That admins
tration began with tragedy, for the
death of the aged General Harrison,
though occurring from natural causes,
can not be counted, in view of all the
circumstances, Us aught but tragic. In
December of the next year, 1S42, oc-
Cured the tragedy of the United States
snip Somers-the mutiny, the trial by
court-martial, and the execution of
three sailors, one of whom was the son
of the actual Secretary of War. In
June, 1S43, the President, with some of
his Cabinet, journcyed to Boston to at
tend the ceremonies of the dedication of
Bunker Hill monument; and there.
Hugh Legare, Secretary of State, was
stricken with a mortal disease and died.
But the tragedies of the administration
had not reached their climax. On Feb
ruary %, 1874, at the invitation of Com
modore Stockton, the President with
his fiancec, Miss Gardner, her father,
and with the members of the Cabinet
and nearly one hundred other persons
of high official rank, embarked on Cap
tain Ericsson's new steamer Princeton,
belonging to the navy, to inspect the
now machinery and to watch the firing
of the two great guns which the vessel
mounted. On the trip two of the guns
were fired twice. On the homcward
trip, above Mount Vernon, preparations
were made to fire third shot. Around
the gun stood nearly all the principal
men who carried on the Government of
the United States. The gun was fired,
and burst, killing eight persons and
wounding nearly score. The Presi-
dent had been called aside the instant
the gun was fired, but Secretary of
State Upshur and Thomas Gilmcr, Sec
rotary of the Navy, wcrc killed, as well
as MIR. Gardner, Commodore Kennon,
Virgil Maxey, two sailors, and the
Presidents servant. Mr.. Gilmcr had
been Secretary of the Navy for only ten
days, and had taken the post much.
against his own inclinations. Thomas
III. Bcnton was one of the party whose
gaycty was SO terrible stilled; but
though the Presidents servant, who
stood 1T his left, was killed. he himself
was unhurt, except the breaking of his
left ear-drum.

Experiments Indicating That They Would

In the Berlin Geological Gardens Prof.
Paul Mcyerhcim, painter of animal life,
has been trying the effects of the fra

as they nre undoubtedly amusing.
Chief among the subjects OF his
experiments, says the London Tele-

ENTERTAINED BIZ MR.. sAKA

Dinner Given to the Members Of the G.
n H Invitation Committee.
The committee that bore to Detroit the invi.
tasion Of the citizens Of Washington to the
Grand Army Of the Republic did a good deal of
hard work, but along the way got about a.
much fun out Of the expedition as probably
any committee ever got ont of any trip
A dinner given by Mr.. Isadore Saks Thursday
evening at his home, 1916 X street, to his asso-
ciates on that committee served to greatly in
crease the already large store of pleasant MEM
ories connected with the successful effort to 90.
cure the national encampment for Washington.
MT. Saks' guests were Mr.. Jno. Joy Edison,
Chairman Of the citizens executive committee,
IN charge Of arrangements for the encampment;
Messrs. Frank Hatton. L. B Hay, S. B. Hege,
George Gibson, DR.. A. II. Wilmer, H L. West
and H. z. Godwin. The dinner was in every
respect delightful. The service was sumptuous
and the menu Of the most tempting kind.
There were a number OF bright after-dinner
speeches amid the pleasantries many serious,
earnest words we're spoken Of the coming en-
campment and the intention of those who have
the arrangements in charge TO make IL memoir
able event and one Of such a character as to
show that the national capital il not exceeded
in patriotic feeling or In gratitude to the
soldiers Of the Union by any city in the land.
During the evening Mr.. Hay, for the MEM
bers OF the committee, presented to Mr.. X. A.
Parke Q handsome secretary and bookcase of
antique oak token Of their appreciation Of
his hospitality on the way to and from Detroit.

He Submits His Annual Report to the
Health Onicer.
The report Of s. II. Robinson, chief inspector
Of plumbing, has been received by the health
officer. The work Of the assistant inspector is
complimented, ,729 inspections Of houses hav-
ing been made. The report refers again to the
desirability Of legislation by Congress looking
to better protection against unsafe conditions
in old houses. Old houses have been inspected
at request, but the law does not provide for such
inspection, says the report Reference is made
to the good feeling existing between the plumb
ers Of the city and the Office. The report quotes
the bill passed by the Senate last year authoriz-
ing the appointment of a sanitary engineer in
the District and states that another effort will
be made to pass it. Little Improvement has
been made in the drainage and plumbing work
of the public buildings, says the re-
port, and they are yet q menace to
the health and lives of their occu-
pants. The need of more liberal improvements
on the old buildings used for public schools is
also referred to and the report in strong terms
denounces the present quarters as unsanitary
and disgracefuL The report asks that the in
crease OF pay for the assistants asked for in the
estimates be granted. The need Of providing
transportation for the Office Is also deferred to.

A CHURCH ASSESSMENT.
The Land Liable to Tax Down to the Time the
Church Purchased It

The Land Liable to Tax Down to the Time the
Church Purchased It
The assistant attorney for the District, Mr..
s. T. Thomas, has submitted to the Commits
sioners an opinion regarding Q special
assessment for q sewer against sub lot rs, in
square 24s, belonging to All Souls Church.
The matter was referred to Mr.. Thomas some
days ago upon the request of the board of
trustees Of the church for an opinion ss to
what extent the assessment or the interest
thereon is affected by the act Of Congress ap-
proved June II, 1870, which relieves church
property in the District from taxes and assess
menta Mr.. Thomas says he has examined this
matter and is satisfied that the lot in question
Is liable to the assessment and interest down to
1878, when 1t became the property of the
church. The effect of the act of 1870 he says
is to exempt church property from all
taxes and assessments from and after
its passage-that is, from all general
taxes accruing after June II, 1s70-and
fr I'm assessments for improvements levied after
that date; but the act is not retroactive and
hoes not apply to the principle of the assess
ment In this case. because 1t was levied ten
years before the church acquired the property
and its effect would be to stop the interest on
she assessment IN 1878, when the church pur-
chased the property. He advises that the
church be allowed to pay the assessment, with
interest," down to 1873, and that or such pay
ment the record of the assessment be Cancelled
