DIR. sMARTs STATEMENTS DISPUTED
Potomac Water Said Not To he Re-
sponsibIe for Typhoid Fever.

Two general statements made by DR.
Smart are questioned by physicians and
scientists in the city. one was as TO the
number of cases of typhoid fever annually
occurring in the city. As there is no law
here requiring cases of typhoid fever to be
reported there is no record OF the number
of cases. A well-known physician stated TO
a Star reporter that DR.. Smart's figures
would give an average of fifteen cases 10
every practising physician, and he believed
every physician knew that there was no
such number of cases.
In his own practice, which was large, he
did not have more than four or five cases
of typhoid fever in a year, and he did not
believe that the average for the 200 practiC-
ing physicians here would Toe more than two
or three. Providence Hospital where ty-
phoid patients among the INDECENT would be
likely TO be sent, reported only forty-siN
cases last year. The physician in question as
serted that the experience OF the medical
profession here would contradict the calcu-
lation made by Or. Smart
Not Due to Potomac Water.
DR. J. :. Billings of the army, who made
the census report that supplied the figures
on which DR.. Smart based his calculation.
when asked by a Star reporter today with
reference to Or. Smart's statement at
tributing the typhoid fever in the city TO
Potomac water. said he believed Dr. Smart
in error in that statement In DIR. Billings
opinion the high rate of deaths from ty-
phoid fever was due TO the use of the
water in wells and the carelessness due TO
ignorance in handling the infected mater
ials from patients
Chemists have invariably given the Po-
tomac wate- a good rating. Prof Clifford
Richardson, the District chemist, also takes
exception 10 the remarks of DIR. Charles
Smart to the effect that the large number
of cases of typhoid fever in the city, were
due TO the impure Potomac water.
THE supply Of Potomac water used by
our citizens" he said, compares favorably
with any supply in the United States and
is far better than that of a large majority
OF cities. 1t is preposterous to say that
typhoid fever in this city is due to the Po-
tomac water"
recent report of Prof Richardson, after
giving the averages of composition Of Poto-
mac water in a million parts from lsSg
says:
I'm general the water may be said to De.
in excellent condition, and TO compare eN-
tremely favorably at present with that of
other cities. Its only defect, the presence
of suspended clay in the winter. can be
~emedied in the manner suggested by Col
Elliot, by greater opportunity for subsi-
dence."

The French hall at New York.

The annual ball of the Cercle Francois
de L'Harmonie of New York took place
last night in Madison Square Garden, and
was largely attended. Many novel features
were introduced, and the customary amount
Of boisterous fun and frolic was INDUCED
in. The hilarity was peculiarly and dis
tinctively French, and a vast amount OF
high-kicking was INDUCED in as the small
hours Of the morning advanced. The cos
tunes were very handsome. In point of
attractiveness and splendor. last night S
ball was equal to any previous one.

IN HIS OWN EYES.

Perfectly Competent to Render . De-
clsion on tho Case.
An old Waterman who used to keep
guard in the department of justice,
says Kate Fields Washington, from
long association with the legal lights
in the building believed he had inn
bibed fair share of learning in the
law, and so when one night telegram
addressed to the attorney-general
came after hours, he had no hesitancy
in opening it and reading the message.
1t asked the question: lis q man held
responsible for u crime committed
when under the influence of liluor?''
The Waterman pondered over the mes
sage for some time, aud, as he knew
what the influence Of liquor was, he
sent the laconic answer: mo, indeed.
(Signed) John Jones, in charge Of the
department of Justice" OF course
there was an immediate attack on the
Encouragement for such decision,
and the matter came to the ears of
the department. An investigation
was made and the Waterman suspended
for three months. That did not worry
him, however. With effrontery that
simply dumbfounded the clerks, he
came to the building every payday
during that time of suspension and
drew his salary.

rehearse them in their dance for the
pantomime. A smooth-faced young
man in modest black clothes asked the
girls if they were having lots OF trou-
BILE. This young man was one OF the
clowns, or, as he put it, one OF the
'Joeys," and in strange contradiction
of things he had to be anything but
clown in his private life. He looked
more like divinity student.
These riders and acrobats are q
clean, strong-limbed and cheerful lot
of people. They take the best OF care
of their bodies, and the fact that they
are always. in physical training seems
to account for their clear heads and
good-natured patience. There wasn't
a cross word uttered during the two
hours of practice. 1t was "thank
you'' to the man who volunteered to
hold banner, and "a little higher,
please" to the one with the hoops.
Dissipation and late hours wouldn't
do very we'll for a man who turns
somersaults on horseback. One OF
the riders said he had been a moder-
ate drinker in former years and
thought there was no harm in it. But
one evening he drank too much, and
when he went in the ring to do his act
he was weak in the knees and actually
tipsy. II don't know how l got
through the act" said he. ''When
turned somersaults I could see mil
lions of stars. It's lucky I didn't fall
and break my neck. That settled it
with me. I'll not drink any more
while I'm riding"

PlNK-EYED TROUT.
A Peculiar Finny Freak Propagated at
the Minnesota Hatchery.

A Peculiar Ffnny Freak Propagated Mt
the Minnesota Hatchery.
The game and fish commissioners of
Minnesota have succeeded in propa-
eating at the state fish hatchery in
St. Paul, breed of trout that cannot
be duplicated anywhere in the known
world, says the Minneapolis Journal.
The albino trout is nothing more or
less than freak of nature, and UP to
three years ago, when these fish be-
gan to make their appearance at the
Minnesota hatchery, none were known
to exist. Three years ago Superin-
tenient S. S. Watkins secured thirty
nine specimens, though where he got
them is secret locked Pin the breast
of the gray-haired official, who is by
no means anxious to tell how his pets
were acquired. From these fish he
succeeded in bringing thirteen to ma
turity, but only three specimens win
tered successfully. At the spawning
season there were found to
be two females and one buck.
From these were obtained eggs
that turned out at the Matching 147
fish, but of this number only 40 ar
rived at maturity. The 40 have since
multiplied, until now Mr.. Watkins
has 700 albino trout in the tanks.
The superintendent is exceedingly
careful of these beauties, and well
may care be taken of them, for, with
their pure white bodies handsomely
dotted with pink spots-with their
pink fins and pink eyes-they are q
curiosity not to be duplicated in
America at least The commission
has obtained another very handsome
species of trout by crossing the native
brook trout with the lake trout.
The result is a large and beautiful
fish, highly colored and possessed Of
all the game fighting qualities of the
brook trout, an exception to the
ordinary results of crossing. which are
to eliminate many Of the game quail
ties of the fish. Within the last year
variety of experiments in fish culture
have been made at the St. Paul
hatchery. Mr.. Watkins has superin-
tended all these experiments, and in
a conversation with representative
of the Sunday Times recently he said
tina, the next twelve months would,
he believed, add good many valu-
able facts to the knowledge now pos.
sessed of fish culture.

Three Suns and an Inverted Rainbow.

The following is taken literally word
for word from q rare copy of the
Brighton (England) Advertiser of June
+, 1897: "a rare phenomenon is re-
ported from St Malo. Recently during
the afternoon, between the hours of 4
and S, three perfect suns were seen all
in row above the western horizon.
The sky was very clear at the time, and
there was no one u no saw the unusual
sight that believes it to have been a
mirage or other atmospheric illusion.
The central seemed more brilliant than
his two luminous attendants, and be-
tween the three there seemed to be a
communication in the shape of waves
of light composed of all the prismatic
colors. At about the same time a rain
bow made its appearance at short dis
lance above the central sun, upside
down-that is to say, the two ends
pointed toward the zenith and the
bows neck toward the horizon"
