EEPPENHEIMER WON'T CONTEST.

His Successor VIII Get the ComptroI
ler's ONCE without Trouble.
General William G. Heppenheimer, in con-
versation with a World reporter yesterday,
in reference to the selection of a successor to
himself as Comptroller and his probable ac-
ton in contesting the appointment, said:-
"There is nothing in it. The man who
comes to me with the Governors commission
as my successor will get the Office, although
there exists a good prima facie case for a
contest. But l will not make it for the
reason that | think the people of New JERSEY
have elected q Republican Legislature-both
houses-and have therefore expressed a de-
sire to have q Republican Comptroller and a
Republican Treasurer. So far as l am CON
cerned | am willing to let them have them.
Il never told any one that l would contest
the appointment of my successor. That
rumor probably emanated from I
made in an ordinary conversation with
friends i'll Trenton. / am willing to say now
that the acts OF a de facto Legislature are
only binding upon individuals in SO far as
they acquiesce in them. / say this for the
benefit of a number of Republican politic-
lam who are anxious for Office, and whose
only desire is to wipe out all democrats in
Office so they can get in office themselves.
In my opinion, if any Office holder should
contest an act of the next Legislature which
wipes him out of Office he could successfully
do so.
s'There is a case in point in Indiana. The
Supreme Court of Indiana declared a GER
tain gerrymandering act of a Democratic
Legislature unconstitutional after a Demo-
cratic Legislature had been elected under
that act in both houses. This de facto Leg
islature passed an act authorizing the city Of
indianapolis to issue 81 100000 Of bonds for
some municipal purpose. The bonds were
issued and sold in New York. A taxpayer
subsequently contested the act Of the fegis-
iature on the ground that the de
facto Legislature had no right to
pass the law, it not having been
a body elected in accordance with the Con-
stitution of the State. The taxpayer was
successful. TIL act was declared unconstitu-
tional, null and void.
I fear this body which has been elected
in New Jersey will bring about a great deal
of litigation. think the act which has been
declared unconstitutional in this State should
be taken to the Court Of Errors N the
matter finally tested

The contests have excited interest, and as only
four more sets of games are to be bowled a
large and enthusiastic crowd will be present
to "root" against the leaders. The teams
have made an enviable record, and the aver

Nothing is so pretty and convenient for even
ing wear as the dainty silk waists, which can be
worn with old skirts. Though these waists
when made full. as they usually are. are not be-
coming to the large women. still if made on a
lining aad with the fullness drawn down tight
they look very pretty. The first waist shown
here is gathered at the shoulders and neck, tine
fullness being caught down Just below the bust
by three little tucks run in the goods and shirrei
up tight. Three bands of this trimming con-
fine the fullness to the lining. This waist is
represented as being male of pale corn color
silk. and the neck and wrists are bordered with
white chiffon. embroidered in yellow and
green. The sleeves have large puffs. but the
lower rart is tight fitting to the, arm. This can
be worn with an odd black, brown or white

WORDS OF CONTAMINATION.
What n Medical Authority Thinks of the
Sanitary League of the District.

What n Medical Authority Thinks of the
Sanitary League of the District.
From the Popular Health Magazine
Our Washington readers are already so
familiar with the organization known as the
Sanitary League OF the District Of Columbia
that to diate upon its merits at this period
o. its existence would appear commonplace.
The organization is self-commendatory. Con-
ceived in spirit of philanthropy and fostered
through public spiritedness it bids fair 10 be-
come an established institution. The idea of
permanency in its work and influence is set
forth in the plan promulgated, OF making the
capital city model among cities for cleanli-
ness and heathfulness." How capable the
league might be of attaining such results will
be seen from its scope of operation Its aims
are TO secure by the voluntary cooperation of
residents such n sanitary surveillance of the city
as Is beyond the power OF the municipal
authorities with the means at present at their
disposal; to make thorough house to house
inspection; to procure the removal of condi-
tons that are dangerous or threaten 20 become
SO; to prevent if possible combinations of the
water supply: to effect such improvements as
may be found desirable in the system of sewage
disposal. and to disseminate useful knowledge
OF sanitary matters and domestic hygiene
among the residents of the city"
Upon this latter feature more than any other
will the stability of the organization depend.
The thorough cultivation OF public sentiment
through the dissemination of sanitary KNOW
edge will afford proper basis on which to eff
feet all needed reforms. As the fact becomes
more generally recognized that sanitation Is
economic well as philan,hropIc so will its
popularity increase accordingly. Among the
means of enlightenment adopted b. the league
series of pubic lectures is being delivered by
prominent sanitarians. each proving most in
teresting and instructive. Thus far the sub
jects treated have been in relation to municipal
sanitation. cholera. water. the caro- of children
in summer, the steriliZIng of milk ard such
like. The attendance on these occasions and
the character OF the audiences indicate desire
on the part of the intelligent masses to know
more of the laws pertaining to the preservation
of health and the prevention of disease
The league numbers among its working
forces many of the most influential citizens of
the District. It's system of organization is
complete. The prac teal results it has already
attained are noteworthy, and the good it may
accomplish through its various agencies is in
calculable Every city, would do well to MAIN
tain such an organization.

A charming way to make n summer silk is
represented in the eighth illustration. 1t is a
green silk and is trimmed with black velvet and
black lace. The waist is gathered at the neck
and shirred into several rows of shirring at the
waist line. The back is tight-ftting and both
back and front are slightly lointed and bordered
with black velvet ribbon. which is tied in n
knot in back and front. 4 fall of black lace
falls over the top OF the sleeve and the wrist is
trimmed with ribbon and lace. A high stand
ing collar of black velvet finishes off the neck.
IL the wearer wishes TO avoid expense the wide
f1ounce which is on the skirt can be left off. as
well as the knotted ribbon velvet which finishes
the lace.
