IN FAVOR OF BRONZE STATUE,

The Views of One of Gen. spinner's Friends
ON the Subject of the Memorial.
Miss E. c. Stoner, president OF the Gen. Spin
ner Memorial Association. has received from
Mr.. c. L. Macarthur, editor of the Troy Budget
an old personal friend of Gen. Spinner, letter
saying: SIN the movement for a statue Of Gen.
Francis E. Spinner you are engaged in a noble
work. You and know that God never made q
more honest mar. He was the friend not only
of woman, but Of the race. When the time
came in which men we're called to do their
duty in the field in defense Of their country
he felt that the place for men was on the bat
tleield in defense of the Union, and that
here came the opportunity for woman, SO far
as possible, to replace men in the clerical and
detail duties heretofore performed by the
sterner sex. That experiment proved an emf
nent success and proved that woman was
equally efficient in many of the duties hereto
fore performed by man. 1t opened q new field
of labor for women. which they have since
filled with great efficiency, with marked intell-
gence, and, may add, with entire benefit to
the public service.
while not adapted to the hardships of the
ments of honesty and efficiency in the public
service in many departments they are fully the
equal of men.
For this discovery of the adaptability of
women to the public service Gen. Spinner is de-
serving of all the credit which women and a
grateful nation ought to bestow upon him. I
shall be happy TO contribute in a small way,
within my means, to a statue you propose to
erect in honor OF Gen. Spinner. You may draw
on me for S23, or notify me when you want the
money for your enterprise.
II have only to add that hope your effort will
not be directed to any side issues for o
memorial building. home, hospital or other
purposes. All these require perpetual care, en-
dowments and other subsidies for the future
that entail thousands Of dollars of expenditure
scarcely within the scope of what may be prop
eriy expended for q memorial for the objects
You have in view.
Il do not attempt to outline the scheme Of
your enterprise. but permit me, as one who has
| had some experience in monument building to
suggest that you nix definite rum, say $15, 900,
As the sum to be raised, and that you confine
your efforts to the raising Of that sum, and TO
the making Of bronze statue of lie size,
which shall fix emblematically for future gener-
atoms, as well us for the present, q speaking
| tribute to the remarkable man to honor whom
your movement is being devoted"

Customs Privileges Extended.

Acting Secretary Nettleton has informed
the Secretary of State, in regard to q question
raised by the United States consul at Hong
Kong, that no objection is perceived to allow
ing imported merchandise not exceeding sl00
in value to be entered under the immediate
transportation act 30 that il may be forwarded
to an interior port of destination without ex-
animation or appraisement at the first port Of
arrival. He says that such privilege should
be allowed only in case the consignee at the
first port Of arrival makes affidavit as TO the
value Of the merchandise and the foreign bill
of lading indicates clearly that it is intended
for an interior port. Customs officers have
been instructed to act in accordance with these
views.

The interstate commerce commission today,
in an opinion by Commissioner Morrison, de-
cided the case of Coke Brothers 4 Co. against
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. The
points decided are briefly as follows: 1. Clas-
sifcation not obligatory on roads, but when
misused commission may correct. 2. Beside
terminal expenses there are other considera-
tions which justify lower proportionate charges
for longer distances. s. Several connecting
lines doing through business treated as one in
the adjustment. of rates. 4. Commission is au-
thorized to determine what rates are reasona-
BILE as well as what are unreasonable. 5. The
present system of grouping mines in the lie
high and Mahanoy anthracite coal regions for
rates east and west subjects compliments to no
undue prejudice. 6. The rates, which are now
Sl.70. s1.40 and $l.20 per ton, according To
sizes, are to be reduced TO S1.50, sl.25 and

End Of Litigation Which Has Lasted for
Some Time-Judge Bradley's Decision.
The Corcorsn Cadet Corps case, Morrow ct al.
against Edwards ct al, was decided in the
Equity Court yesterday by Judge Bradley.
The CorcOran Cadet Corps was organized Feb
ruary %, 1883. Its members enlisted in the
National Guard of the District of Columbia
soon after its creation, and Z. C. Edwards was
commissioned as captain Of the men. who were
assigned finally as company A. second battal-
ion, N. G. D. c. Edwards was afterward,
in May, 1889, requested by the
members Of the Corcoran Cadet Corps to re-
sign his position as captain Of the corps and
also as captain of company A, second battalion,
but he refused, although almost every member
joined in the petition to him asking him to re-
sign. Thereupon he preferred charges against
some Of the men who requested him to resign
and recommended the discharge of others who
had also asked him to resign, and the men re-
signed or were discharged. In this way

Seldom are there less than twenty persons

Sanitarians are agreed that in order to MAIN

OF fifty cubic feet Of fresh air per capita per

the entire contents of the car 5SS cubic feet,
from which must be deducted the space occu-
pied by the bodies Of the twenty persons-say,
at cubic feet each, 120 cubic feet, leaving 468

the twenty passengers require 1000 cubic feet

the most casual observer that the means ordi-
narily provided do not afford one-fourth of the
desired amount of fresh air in a street car
Some ventilation is arranged for by small
veniilators placed near the roof of the car, but
these are rarely tound open. Who can saw
that many of our minor ailments are not di-
rectiy due to such causes as the polluted at
mosphere Of street cars? To many persons
this is not q new line of thought as is testified
TO by the hundreds Of good citizens who never
ride in n street car when il can be avoided, and
who, when compelled to ride, will not enter
the car, but remain standing on the platform.
A great cry has gone up abou. mo seat no
fare, but during II all but little has been said
about the importance from a sanitary point OF
view Of not overcrowding the street cars. It
is always the immediate comfort or the avoid
ance Of temporary discomfort that the AEaeri-
can citizen Is aiming at. Until the time comes
when the law can regulate these matters let all
sensible people insist, when riding on street
cars, that all the yentilators and ct least the
