GRACELAND CEMETERY.
A Thorough Inspection of the Grounds r
Be Made.

Be Made.
DIR. Hughes and Inspector WEIGH Of the
health Office began an inspection this morn
ing of Graceland cemetery, and will continue
the work from day TO day until the ground has
been thoroughly covered and samples of spring
and well water have been obtained from the
surrounding country and analysed by the dis
trict chemist.
The inspection is the result of systematic
attack on the alleged unhealthfulness of the
cemetery by the citizens of East Washington,
including several physicians.
The complaints were directed to Health Off
Ger Hammett In the form of petitions from
the citizens stating that the cemetery, located
as it is in the center of what is fast becoming a
thickly populated section of the city, is great
injury and source of danger to the residents Of
the neighborhood.
1--WE desire particularly to call your attention
to the fact that many cases of sickness have &C.

caused apparently by the drainage from the
cemetery, which follows directly toward the
subdivision called ROsedale. and by the exhala-
tons from the graves We earnestly pray" con-
Guides the petition. that further burials be
prohibited and that the remains Of those here
tofore inferred be removed to some more suit
able place"
The names of about 200 citizens are attached
to the petition.
Accompanying the petition are letters from
Drs. l. Ohm Leech, Joseph n. Gardner and G.
c. Burton DR.. Leech writes: Il have been

five years and | have had more than one pa

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Several weeks ago there appeared in Satur-
day STAR some clever criticism regarding the
forms of greeting used BIZ society in its inter-
change Of visits and social amenities Mr.. R.
Hitchcock was moved to comment rather
severely on the custom Of bidding good morn
ing after o'clock pm. 1t struck me there
might be few words said on the other side.
and having waited for some one to say them
with modesty becoming my sex and station,
and none appearing for the defense, will you
allow me space to lift up feeble voice in the
wilderness. as it were, for the poor, innocent
butterfly whom the workers-ths bees, ants,
early birds and other tiresone creatures-are
always attacking.
In the first recorded division Of time we read
that ''the evening and the morning were the
first day" I take it the morning extended
from sunrise to sunset and the evening from
sunset to sunrise again. There was no .'after-
noon" mentioned. Later there came the divi-
sions OF a. IN. and .. M. for purposes of legal
actitude and astronomical Correctness. Has
Mr.. H. considered that afternoon" really
means the period from midday to midnight!
Why then should it be better form to use good
afternoon" only up TO nghtfall than to say
good morning" from sunrise to sunset?
The earlier and scripturai divisions of day
are morning and evening. The later and tech
nical one. forenoon and afternoon. but those
insisted upon by Mr.. Hitchcock, morning at
ternoon and evening, are purely arbitrary, and
there 10 no good reason why they should not
yield to other, also arbitrary, fashions.
Certain psopls-of whom am sure Mr..
Hitchcock is not one-having an unreasoning
dislike for everything English are wont to At
tribute all social innovations to our 'aping Of
