GIVE THEM WATER
About midway of Van street. nearly in the
center Of the square, is great vacant space,
now filed with rubbish and soon to be
covered by rank weeds. There such
bath houses and wash houses could be
built at comparatively little expense. Water
mains run on the streets which bound the
square, as do sewers These could be run into
the square and there connected with the bath
and wash houses. During the week the
women could go there to do the wash
ing and ironing, both for them
selves and also for the families whose
clothes they are now compelled to do at their
wretched homes. In that way not only would
the poor be greatly benefited, but in no less de-
gree would those for whom they work. On
Sundays the bath houses could be utilized by
those unable to enjoy them on other days. Such
is the way they are used in other places in this
country and in England, where their establish
ment has resulted in great and lasting good

Some fifty years ago there originated in
Liverpool, England, that very important
branch Of public sanitation comprising the pro-
vision OF bath houses, whereby. through a small
payment, private hot and cold baths are
placed within the reach Of the very poor
est, and also laundries, where poor women
are furnished with every facility
for washing and ironing at prices proportion
ate to their limited means. During the fifty
years since such wise and benefcent enter
prise was inaugurated worlds Of good has been
accomplished. the poor have been made hap
pier and much more healthful and the danger
threatening other classes through the uncared-
for poor reduced to q minimum. Indeed, so
great was the good accomplished through such
an enserpr Use, that England's parliament gave
IL national Endorsement and encouragement by
granting ample powers to local bodies, town
councils, vestries and tie like, to establish
baths and wash houses at the expense OF the
taxpayers.
NEEDED HERE
Not only in England has the enterprise
grown, receiving the highest commentator
from sanitary experts, but this valuable branch
of public sanitation has been established in this
country, and with as gratifying success
as that which attended it across the
sea- That such work Is needed

ssnements equally as wretched, and almost in
variably occupied by negroes There are, how
ever, q few whites inhabiting the so-called
dwellings, but the great majority Of the white
residents in the square occupy the dwellings
facing on the streets by which the square Is
bounded.
DENSE POPULATION.
The population Of the square, according to
the late police census Of last June. was 1868
whites and $50 negroes. q total population of
745, making it one Of the most densely popu-
lated squares in the District Yet, notwitn-
standing its great population, with a
single exception, not pump or hydrant
is to be found in the square, and
the unfortunate residents are in some instances
forced to go squares for water for drink
ing and other purposes. A few months
ago Mr.. Robert Rusk. the manager
Of the Odorless Excavating Company, who
owns a stable in the square running back from
Sd street introduced water into his stable from
the main on the street at his own expense. and
also of his own expense connected the stable
with the sewer on VI street. With this excep-
ton neither water nor sewer Is to be
found in the square. The evil effects

A Rustic's Ludicrous Misfake.

From the Chicago Post.
Dean Hole, in his memories" of long and
busy life, tells an amusing story connected
with church collections. The occurrence is de-
scribed as taking place on Sunday when the
congregation happened to be unexpectedly
large.
The rector, seeing that there was only one
aims dish, beckoned to a rustic and babe him
go through the garden into the rectory dining
room and bring dish from the table
Take 1t down one side of the north aisle
and up the other, he SAID, ''and then bring it
to me-"
The rustic disappeared, came back with the
dish. took it as he ordered and presented it
to people on either side of the aisle, and then.
approaching the rector, whispered in his ear:
i've done as yer told me, sir. I've taken it
down yon side the aisle and up t'other-they'l II
none Of em ave any,"
No order had been given to empty the dish
and it full of biscuits.

a neglect of such ordinary precautions. show
them how to improve, and am sure they will
willingly DO all in their power to aid the
authorities and the Sanitary League"
BATH HOUSES ISDoRsED.
When the matter of public bath houses and
wash houses was mentioned to Mr.. Rusk he
stated that he was confident that their estab-
lishment would work worlds Of good. To as
certain Just what the residents of the alleys
themselves thought of the matter the reporter
explained the scheme to Q number Of them.

GOOD ACCOMPLISHED.
The latest report of the health officer of the
District shows that during the year ending
June 80. 1891. twenty-seven deaths occurred
In the square. eleven white and sixteen negroes.
That this remarkably high death rate was due
to the want of the sanitary precautions de-
scribed cannot well be doubted. Last
summer this square was explored by the same
reporter of THE STAR who visited it a few
DAYS ago. Tie horrible condition OF affairs
then existing was fully described in The STAR
Ut the time, and as consequence
the District authorities took steps to
better the then existing condition Of the
ALLEYS in the square. Much good was thereby
accomplished. and since then, urged by the
Sanitary League of the District. the authorities
have continued their efforts. Hence. upon the

From Texas Siftings.
A good story is told about gentleman who
lives in Brooklyn and crosses at Fulton ferry
nearly every day. He is much prosecuted by
the bore who always accosts you on a ferry
boat in mid-stream with the stereytyped ques-
ton, "Ah! are you going across?"
The other day one of these demons hooked
on the Brooklyn man usual and said:
"Hello, old man! Going to York;"
No, sir" he replied promptly, Il am going

And he did, amid the cheers of the crowd.

A New York electrical journal some
time ago told of an incident that oc-
CURED in the fitting up of new Office
building near the New York end Of the
Brooklyn bridge The engineer of the
building wished to wire the Offices
throughout for the electric light in addi-
ton to the gas pipes on which the con-
servative proprietor insisted. But all
his arguments were in vain, and the ap-
parently useless extravaganza of cleo
trio wiring was obstinately vetoed. Sud-
denly, however, a happy thought struck
the venerable owner: Why" he said,
IF the wires carry electricity can't you
make them carry gas, too"' A coun-
terpart Of this story is now told Of a
shipyard carpenter, native of TrOon,
on the coast Of Ayrshire, Scotland.
When the contract for lighting the first
three steamers fitted with electric light
at the Troon ship yard was completed,
this man formed one Of a social party
gathered to treat the electricians who
had made the installation and other
wise celebrate the event. In burst Of
candor and comradeship he was over
heard saying to one of the wiremen:
MAN, Peter, efter workin' wi you on
they boats, 1 believe could put in the
electric LIGHT myself, but there's only ae
thing that bates me-" AYE, what is
that?' said his interested companion,
willing to help him if it lay in his
power. Its this, man: dinna ken
hoo you get the lie alang the wires!'
