"Garbaxe" and "Refuse."
the Editor Of The Evening sta-:

To the Editor OF The Evening Sta-:
The vital question OF the hour is, What can
be done to maintain the present high standard
of health in our city. and especially SO in view
Of the possible appearance of the cholera in
the United States during the coming summer?
The health department is taking active and
efficient measures IN the right direction; much,
however. depends upon the cordial co-opera-
ton of the citizens in their private capacity in
taking care that their dwellings, are kept clean
and well ventilated. that their cellars, out
houses, yards, &c. are free from offensive
matter, and to avoid especially the accumula-
lation of garbage or refuse matter on their
premises In this connection l addressed a
letter to The STAR on the 18th, in which pro-
tested against the burning of garbage in pri-
vale ranges as q mode Of disposing of il. l
was gratified in reading W. Fl. SIS let
Ter that he heartily indorsed what l said
and denounced the practice, but thought that
to burn refuse il not to commit any annoy
ance" &c. Up to the time of reading the let
ter 1 had supposed that garbage and
..refuse'' were synonymous terms. but the
distinction he made between them caused
me to doubt the correctness OF my under
standing of their correct meaning. until con-
suited some two or three OF the best authorl-
ties in the English language, with the following
result, viz:
Webster unabridged - Garbage,
"Refuse parts of flesh; offal; hence the refuse
animal and vegetable matter from the kitchen
Same authority-Refuse. THAT which is re-
fused or rejected useless matter. Stor-
nouth-Garbage. The refuse OF flesh or
vegetable matter" Same carbohydrates.
''Ihat which 10 refused or rejected as worthless
matter" The Century-Garbage. "Ofal or
refuse organic matter in general, especially the
refuse animal and vegetable matter from a
kitchen" The same authority gives the mean
ing Of refuse" THAT which is refused or re-
1ected, waste or useless matter" With the above
Is my authority I still hold that garbage
and refuse" are Cat least in kitchen anguaSe)
one and the same thing, and to attempt to
consume 1t in private houses under either name
(garbage or refuse) the result would be the
same. l. e., an annoyance to your nelghbor and
vitating to the atmosphere we breathe. As to
the 'odor from burning refuse (garbagc) pass
ing out of the chimney and mingiing with up
per air" would it not depend entirely on the
force Of the wind at the time? And supposing
that your neighbours chimney top came in line
with your second or third-story windows, with
. moderate or fresh breeze blowing in your d.
rectIon. will W. H. :. please say what proper
tion OF the odor would ascend and mingle with
the upper air!
r. in yoilr opinion, the public interest will be
sut,,erved by q further discussion of this sub
ie,, in your columns, 1 am at the service of W.
II. s. citizen.

buy them in town. As for costly bug books
of the Agricultural Department nobody wants
them, because they contain highly colored

The Universalist Society.

A largely attended parish social Of the Uni
versaiist Society was held last Friday evening.
The work of the past year was reviewed and
addresses made by representatives of the va
rious church and parish organizations. The
report showed condition of rapidly increasing
prosperity in the society, due largely to the
energy and ability of the new pastor, Rev. A. q.
Rogers. The total receipts were "a, 400, OF
which $500 remained on hand after payment OF
expenses. Nearly 800 was pledged for the
frescoing and the putting of electric lights in
the church.

An investigation of the circumstances attend
ing the scene reported to have occurred in
front Of the Deaconess Home, on North Capitol
street. when the circus parade passed there last
Monday has shown that the statements which
led to the publication were greatly exaggerated.
The official OF the home who was endeavoring
to protect the terraces on the Pierce street side
from being tramped upon did not, it appears,
resort to the use of the those to drive away the
crowd" or take any other harsh measures. IL
any one wet his wetting was due to his
own carelessness or to the pranks of boys play
ing with the hose.
