A Creditable Exhibition Given at the Gymna-
sium Saturday Night.
The athletic exhibition given in the gym
nasium Of the Columbia Athle tic Club last Sat
| urday night was a successful affair. Mr.. How
ard Perry was master of ceremonies, Mr.. r. H.
Wade, referee Of sparring; W. B. Hibbs, time
keeper, and Messrs. Elder and Mcguire, judges.
1t was given out carly in the week that there
would be n three-round sparring exhibition
between Messrs Carter and Green, and. as
these two men are very evenly matched, hot
encounter was looked for. The men gave a
very scientific exhibition. but it lacked the snap
that has characterized their contests hereto
fore. The referee gave the decision to Carter.
John Irwin put the sixteen-pound shot thirty
four feet ten inches, defeating Dickinson, Ra-
rier, Perry, Harrison. Dashien and Merritt.
eiessrs. Sewel. Crossley and Dashiell gave
finished performance on the parallel bars
These same gentlemen also performed on the
horizontal bar and looked more like profess
SIGNALS than amateurs. Messrs. Kerr and
Schafiirt wrestled according to the Grseco-
and Mr.. 7. s. O'Leary fenced with foils and
gave scientific exhibition. A tug-of-war team
captained by Lee Harlan pulled like team
captained by r. II. Wade fourteen inches in
five minutes. Another ting of war followed,
resulting in Harlan captaining another team
pulling team captained by Harrison four
inches in three minutes. About dozen of
Prof. Crosslcy's boys participated in pole vault
ing, fencing with sticks Ia l. broad sword), and
won a great deal of applause. John Gregg. the
winner Of the pole vaulting. had a competitor
considerably smaller than himself in Little
johnson, who measured four feet two inches,
yet vaulted the pole at seven feet six inches. A
heavyweight sparring bout of three three
minute rounds between III. NJ. Dickinson and
John Rainier closed the entertainment. Rainier
had everything his own way up to the last half
of the last round, when Dickinson found out
suddenly that he had the superior reach and
landed with case. The referee gave the bout to
Dickinson

Tho Public Health.

Rigorous enactments are enforced regulating
quarantine Of vessels arriving from foreign
countries 10 prevent importation Of contagious
diseases, but little attention 10 paid to the dam
ages that lurk within and around every house
hold threatening the lives Of whole commu-
ity: Defective sewage, deposits Of garbage
and the debris Of every habitstion, manufac-
tory, market house, store room, where perish
able materials are deposited, all are con-
supervision, however faithfully enforced, can
never keep every nook and corner of build
ing under surveillance. The germs Of danger
are not perceptible to the naked eye, but lie
stealthily hidden in the cess pool, the sewer
trap, the waste basin and the sweltering garbage
heaps awaiting collection often delayed.
The true remedy is thorough and complete
disinfection and fumigxtion. The means to
secure such results should be always at the
command Of every householder, who would be
personally Interested in purifying the atmos-
Phere Of his habitation, and thereby preserving
the health Of his neighbors and the whole COM
mumty. The best materials attainable should
be within the reach Of every one and at nom
inal cost.
The Alvarez Disinfectant Company of the
District Of Columbia clam that their disin-
fectents and fumigators are the only germicide
In the world that meet precisely the public
needs for this important service. Many Of the
United States Departments have adopted the

prominent public officials and leading scientists
certify to their efficiency and excellence. The
broom, the brush and the cake of soap simply
remove from one spot to deposit in another
location dirt temporarily visible. good,
thoroughly effective disinfectant destroys and
dissipates all that is noxious, and removes it
not only from the eye, but utterly obliteratcs
every evidence of it's existence to all the senses,
visual, olfacsory or otherwise.
The Washington Statue for France.
The ladies interested in securing a statue Of
Gen. Washington to be presented to France
held meeting Saturday at the residence of
Mrs. Field, when it was decided to have made
a replica in bronze Of Houdon's statue, which
is at Richmond. Mr.. Henry Bacon, an Ameri-
can artist. who has resided for thirty years in
Paris, was present at the meeting. He will
probably be delegated to take q cast of the
Richmond statue. 1t is said that Parisians are
just awakening to realization of Houdon's
merits and preparations are being made for a
fete in his honor. 1t is not generally known in
France that Houdon visited this country. In
selecting his famous statue of Washington to be
copied the French people will receive double
compliment.
