Washington as a Place Of Residence

| To the Editor of III" Evening star:
The physical differences between Washington
and other American cities-i.s spacious. smooth
and shaded streets, its multitudinous parks, its
absence Of the rumbling, rafting, dsafening
| noise of carriages and carts, which are heard in
cities whose streets are paved with cobble
stones. its beautiful shrubs and flowers and its
magnificent public buildings arc features SO
palpable as to engage the attention Of every
| transient visitor and to call forth unqualified
| admiration.
But there are other features Of Washington
| life, which, after all, constitute its greatest
charm to those who reside within its limits
| Among these Is friendliness and an unaffected
courtesy toward another and toward
strangers In the public conveyances and in pub
| lie assemblies, where every one seems to have
time and Il disposition to wait upon his neigh
bors, without regard to class distinctions. and
| in this remark include the Washington police
ANY inquirer is quite sure of receiving a civil
and friendly answer to his inquiries.
Another characteristic feature of Washing
| ton life Is the absence OF that hurrying. jost-
| ling spirit which seems to possess and almost
lnfurlate the crowds which dash up and down
| Broadway and Wall street. Now York
very beautiful and marked feature of Wash
lngton life. which the writer has often seen and
admired. Is the respectful and courteous bear
ing OF young men and young maidens toward
old age without regard to its sex Nothing is
more common in a crowded car or herllc than
to see young gentlemen and young ladies rise
and insist upon standing that some old person
may have a comfortable seat
And then the atmosphere. both social and
| moral, which pervades the churches of Wash
| ington is cheerful and friendly and generally
winning to strangers. The hearty and uncon-
ventional way in which worshipers meet one
another as they pass out Of church is good to
behold
should do great injustice to Washington
| / N hat
of the clerks of either sex in the Washington
stores, is very marked and is worthy of all
praise.
This city. unlike all Others is not the metrop-
oils of a state or territory, the chief cen
| ter of any section of the country, but it is and
is worthy to be, the unique metropolis of a
great and unique nation. w.

A SCARE IN THE PENSION OFFICE.
Papers From q Leper Sent to the Health
Once for Fumigation.

Papers From q Leper Sent to the Health
Once for Fumigation.
b There was q scare in the pension Office yester-
day when the mail brought from the Hawaiian
Islands the application for a pension from a
man afflicted with the leprosy. The name Of
the applicant was given in the letter as John
Gaiser, who served in the I7lst New York
infantry volunteers, and was discharged at
Harris Island, New York, in 1865.
There was nothing on the envelope to indi-
cate that there was anything unusual about the
contents. and So 1t went through the ordinary
channels all right until opened and then one of
Uncle Sans efficient servants read ''leprosy."
He turned deathly pale, dropped the paper and
spread the alarm.
Then the applicant stood poor show to have
his application examined and acted upon.
Everybody in the office was afraid of the docu-
ment and no one was willing to read and record
ing that the papers were still there there was a
renewal Of the scare. and finally the papers
were taken to the health Office for disinfection.
There they were placed in terra Gotta pipe
with a covering and were allowed to remain in
sulphur fumes for nearly an hour, when they
we're taken out
The communication was marked Kalayo post
Office. Island Of Molokai, and was signed by
Jos. Dutton, who was q membtr OF the Wiscon-
sin volunteer infantry. The letter stated that
Gaiser had been on the Island of Molokai for
six years and he contracted the disease from a
bite of a native leper, who was at large instead
Of being in custody. as he should have been.
After Janitor King had finished with the
papers they were taken back to the pension
Office.

An Outflow of Money That Makes Business
for the Judge.

An Outflow of Money That Makes BUSINESS
for the Judge.
Monday was pension day and the hangers-on
and sharks who lie IN wait for pensioners are
having great time this week. There IL %
much money afioat that the bar rooms and
'speak easies" are doing an immense business.
and the business Of the Police Court also shows
increase. This morning there were thirty
four prisoners in the dock and nine OF them
were women. Even in the cells the victims
discussed the old soldiers who bad spent theiR
money freely.
When Judge Kimball's court convened the
first prisoners called were Lottie May and
Mary Smith, the latter colored woman. 1t
was pension money that got them in trouble In
Louise alley last night Policeman Anderson
said the women were under the innuenos Of
liquor.
Il just came out Of the House Of the Good
Shepherd" said Lottie MAY, ''and have .
friend who takes care of me-"
Mary also attempted 10 explain away the
charge, but the officer gave her bad reputa-
ton, and Judge Kimball sentenced them 10
give bond in the sum Of $50 or 60 down fog
sixty days
Following these women came others OF the
same kind. while many Of the mon were Ia the
same boat There were some black eyes aud
bruised faces, and at the close Of the session a
the court there was . van load Of prisoners fos
the work house.

A WEEK OF GOOD HEALTH.
A Material Decrease in the Number OF
Deaths RepOrted.

Material Decrease in the Number of
Deaths Reported.
1.-THE favorable health conditions through
out the city shown by the reports for the
last month still continue" says Health Officer
Hammett in his report of the operations Of the
department last week.
mot only SO. but the reports for last week
show another material decrease in the number
of deaths. The total number 80, and the
death rate for the whole population was 1s o. as
against 104 for the week before. with a rate Of
20.S. The absence of high mortality from the
various acute diseases is another favorable phase
of the weeks health status. One death
from typhoid fever occurred, and those
from pneumonia declined to five from four
teen, as reported the previous week. As far as
new cases go influenza seems TO have wholly
| abated in fatal form. There was a death from
diphtheria, with seven cases reported. and four
cases of scarlet fever; with one death therefrom.
THE cool weather during the month. COM
bined with the general cleaning OF the city,
seems to have retarded the annual visitation
OF summer complaints. These ailments usually
occur about the middle Of May, to continue on
tine increase to climax abont the last
of July. but up to this time there has been
no evidence Of their temperance. One death
only from cholera infantum has been re-
ported, the other diarrhaal cases IN this report
having been chronic cases of dysentary. Hence
| the rate of mortality among children under five
years Of age and of those under year old
stands somewhat below the average. instead of
greatly above, as in the last several years.
"There were four accidental deaths and one
from suicide. or the former from
laparotomv, one from osteotomy, one rupture
of blood vessel and one from drowning. The
suicide was by pistol shot"
The report shows: Number of deaths, 30;
white, 46. colored, "A. Death rate per LOCO
per annum: White, 1857; colored, 269. Total
population, 1870. Twcnty-eiGht were under
five years CT age; is were under one year old
and l6 over 60 years. Twelve of the deaths &C.
Cured in hospitals and public institutions.
The principal causes of death were: Group. q;
