WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent

public four days and the most careful
study fails to find one single redeeming
feature therein. 1t would, if enacted a
law, turn over the cream Of the Amer
lean market, the finest in the world, to
European manufacturers and Canada
farmers, and all it offers Americans in
exchange therefor are glittering promises
of an increase in the foreign trade OF the
United States, promises which are not
believed in even by those who have made
them. 1t is admitted that free wool
would nut an end to the production Of
wool in this country and that free iron
ore and coal will will cause foreign coal
and iron ore to be used exclusively in the
neighborhood OF every Atlantic seaport
and that American iron ore and coal will
be used nowhere except at places so far
in the interior that the freight rates will
allow them to compete with foreign pro
ducts.
These are only specimens a the man
ner in which American industries have
been treated by this bill. The game

MORTAR WAS BAD.
Building Inspector Entwistle Con-
dennis the Materials Used in
Ford's Theater Alterations.
Feared That the Contractor Who
Was Doing the Work Will
Lose His Mind.

WASHINGTON, June 16-In the con-
tinued inquest on the victims OF the
Fords theater disaster today, L. Z.
Entwistle, the building Inspector of the
district. testified that the mortar Il sed
in the alterations was bad, and the
brick work badly done. If he had
had authority to prevent it ne
would not have permitted the
work to be done in the way it was, for
there was too much risk. Architect
Clark, of the capitol, testified that the
weight on the floor was considerably
less than the safety limit. August Davis,
builder and an unsuccessful bidder
for the electric lighting plant work. SAID
he thought the plans for the work were
such that no man could form from them
all intelligent idea as to what was want
ed. He had told Capt Thorpe. chief OF the
supply division OF the war department,
that the work was dangerous. Nothing
was contained in the specification that
rovided for supporting the upper floors
during the eXcavatlng work. In his
opinion no reasonable intelligent man
would have attempted to do the work
without snoring. He said he had told
Contractor Simms before Capt. Thorpe
that il the contract was let to some
d-n fool he might pull down the build
ing.
William G. Covert. super intendent of
the old theater building, was next
called. He testified that Col. Aims
worth had cautioned him particularly
not to give any instructions to the coll
tractor, but to 60 down in the cellar as
much as possible. and II he saw any
thing going wrong, in his opinion, that
was calculated to endanger the build
ing, to notify him Col. Ainsworth)
Immediately. Tie witness did not
know whether snoring was necessary or
not. AS Col. Ainsworth observed the
work himself, he did not make any re-
port on it to him. After James Il. Nc
Gill, an architect. had testified that amy
man in his right senses would not have
done such work as that beneath the
theater without snoring, thata coupe
tent draughtsman should have drawn
the plans. and that an expert should
have superintendent the work accord
ing to custom, the jury adjourned until
tomorrow, when tits expected the In
CURRY will be concluded.
Contractor Dant, who was doing the
work which resulted in the collapse OF
the building, is in a serious condition,
and it is feared that his mind is affected
by the disaster. Ever since the accident
he has been a very sick man. Once or
twice he left his residence with plans of
work he had under way. but was coEi-

PILLS IN POLITICS.
The Homeopaths Object to Mix
ing Them at the State
University.
Artist Of Eligible Physicians Rec
commended to the
Regents.

A meeting of the homeopathic physi-
clans of the state was held yesterday
afternoon at the capitol to decide what
physicians should be recommended to
the board of regents as worthy to fill the
places of the late defunct faculty. The
meeting was harmonious and earnest
and seemed filled with zeal for the well
fare of homeopathy. Among the names
selected to be presented to the board of
regents for their consideration were the
following:
w. E. Leonard, Minneapolis; o. H.
Hall. Zumbrota; q. E. Kicker, Mime
apo!is; B. Ii. Ogden, st. Paul;
Peter Nelson, Minneapolis; S. A.
Locke, Minneapolis; A. P. William
son, Minneapolis; w. l.. Craddock,
Pine Island; j. E. Sawyer, St. Paul;
W. II. Came. Saltwater; w. 5. Briggs.
St. Paul; H. c. Leonard. Minneapolis;
a. E. Higbee, Minneapolis; ID. A. Stick
Z. r. Perkins, Excelsior; G. M. Doreon,
st. Paul; l.. Z. Penny, st Paul.
Ii also was the unanimous sentiment
of the meeting that ID. Il. Stricken be
appointed dean of the faculty.
The committee appointed to present
names to board of regents were DrS. A.
! NJ. Eastman, G. IL. Gliddent, William l..
Craddock and w. o. Freyberger. This
committee will report to the regents to-
! day. At the close of the meeting the
! following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
! Resolved. That in the interest of higher
| standard of medical education we, the
homeopathy physicians of the state, dc

ments of the state university.
This meeting of physicians was i'm
portant from the fact that it was a pro-
! test from the physicians of the state
| against combining politics and medi
cine The members of the conference
seemed to be strongly in favor of men
who are true homeopaths; and ability
and not influence, political or otherwise

We believe that, as a rule, men in all
ltations of life love their wives and
would if they could keep the disagree
ableS of life from them, and that these
cases of seeming disregard that we
often see come not from any lack of
feeling, but from the environments that
make the lives of Workingmen so sordId
and hopeless that there is little room
left in them for the growth of those
sweet flowers of courtesy that sWeeten
the hardest hours of toll. There is 10
work that a woman can do that is so
hard, so back-breaking, as washlng.and
this little clipping from the New York
Recorder suggests way by which the
husbands of delicate wives can keep
this weekly burden, at least, out Of
their way: When one thinks of the
enormous amount of work that one
woman does in the course of family

don't drop dead with exhaustion!

the brawnv, sinewy women who seem
adapted to that sort of labor, but more
of the misunderstanding wives who are
compelled by circumstances to shoulder
this enormous burden every Week-a
burden that is really better fitted for
men than for women.

bands do the waShing-but L do think
that every husband ought to sacrifice
some little pet vice or habit and devote
the money saved--no matter how poor
he may be-to the hiring of strong
Washerwoman every week.
don't believe shat there is any work
that woman doeS-I am now referring
to delicate women-that so completely
uses up her strength, her youth and her
vitality as this same washing.
