4 Practical argument.

DIR. OMalley, who Is in charge of the
dphtheria and scarlet fever service of the
health department. reported a case to
Health Officer Woodward recently, which,
he said. is a good argument in favor
OF the establishment of a contagious dis
ease hospital. He was called to house
in South Washington, where q case Of
diphtheria had been reported, and when
he arrived there he found that the patient,
a small child, had died. In the room he
found the mother and two children, one
dead and the other sick. The sick child
was in bed beside the body of the dead
one. In the room the doctor found that the
bed and two chairs were all the furniture
the woman had, and she had no place 9TH
er than the bed upon which to keep the
dead body.

THESE PRINTERS ARE SAFE.
Removal of the Specified ton Room to
the Union Building.

The government has at least one safe,
commodlous. well-lighted and comfortable
workshop for some of it's numerous arti
sans, and it seems all the more pleasant
to those who occupy it because of the con-
trast with the former quarters allotted to
them. The specification room of the gov
eminent printing office has been removed
from the old ranishackle fire and death
trap at the corner of North Capitol and III
streets and now occupies the fifth floor Of
the Union building. on G. street, the two
lower stories of which are used for city
post Office purposes.
While the immense room is not entirely
fitted up in accordance with the plans Of
Mr.. r.. w. Oyster, the foreman, workmen
are busy at work upon the necessary inn
provementS. and in a short time 1t will be
a model printing office in every respect.
The front half of the large apartment is
devoted to the cases of the printers, Of
whom 30 are at work setting up Speci-
ications of patents, and four fiat-bed press
eS, fed by hand and run by dynamo pow
er. upon which the documents are printed.
The imposing stones. forms. frames, gal
leys and other appliances of a printing CT
flee are arranged with view TO convent
ence and the saving OF time, and the heavy
weight is distributed I'm such a manner that
three times as much as now rests on the
floor could be added with perfect safety.
Carpenters are now engaged in the rear
half of the room erecting benches and
tables for the 100 binders, who will begin
work on Monday. The moving from the
government printing office accom-
plished between Saturday afternoon and
Sunday night without loss breakage or
even the disarrangement of galley of
type, and all the men were at work I'm their
new places on Monday morning.
An amusing and yet significant episode of
the change occurred just before the men
began work In the new shop. They were
so enthusiastic over their release from
durnal imprisonment in the dangerous
old structure II street that they all
Joined in singing with hearty favor Praise
God. From Whom All Blessings Flow" 1t
may be interesting to note that all the
female compositors employed under the
public printer, to the number of twenty
five, have been transferred to the specf-
cation room, and have their cases in the
Union building, for which they are as
thankful as the men.

Citizens of Northeast Washington
Organize to Secure Appropriations.

A number Of citizens residing in the north
east section of the city and owning proper
ty therein met last night at Loeffier's Hall
and effected an organization for the pur-
pose of securing a more equitable share OF
the public improvements for their neigh
borhood. Mr.. Ernest Dahle was chosen
temporary chairman and spoke of the
necessity of additional street Improvement
in the northeast. He enumerated. lst o,
@, l. and North Capitol streets
and Delaware and Florida avenues as
being most in need of paving, and dwelt
particularly on the condition of street, ana
declared that appropriations for its benefit
had been made two years in succession, nut
had been diverted to other purposes.
Messrs. John Keefe, Thomas Heany and
Allison Major discussed the propriety of
making effort TO secure another appro-
priation for the section, and see that 1T was
properly used. and all present pledged
themselves 10 devote their energies toward
accomplishing such result. On Tuesday
night of next week there will be another
meeting at the same place.

MIR. ANDREWS ,coSTRADIcTED.
On the Witness 'hStand Before the
Lexow,, Committee.

Street Cleaning Commissioner Andrews
testimony before the Lexow committee
in New York yesterday consisted almost
entirely I'm specific denials of the charges
that had been made against him. Some
times when he was not ready with a de-
NAL he presented an explanation, which
threw a different light upon transactions
that otherwise were pronounced shady by
Mr.. Golf.
The revocation of the license of the Tor
toni saloon was point around which the
controversy seemed to hinge. The appli
cation of a man named Lambert was re-
fused, but subsequently a license was
granted to n man named Lewis.
Commissioner Andrews claimed that
Lambert was possessed of a bad character,
while Lewis had the Endorsement of Judge
White and others.
Judge White was afterward sworn and
denied the statement that he had ever
approved of the application of Lewis or
any other person for saloon.

The Armenian Massacre.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In Mondays Evening Star an official tele-
gram-so -called-was seen. The Turkish
legation has pretended to receive II from
Turkey relative to the Armenian massacre
at Sassoun. The intent of this so-caIled
official telegram is that the Armenians
revolted: that the troops We're sent to put
down the rebellion. and further, stating
certain other assertions which have been
contradicted by facts This telegram, If II
is telegram at ALL says: These facts
fortunately no facts could be given to sup
port the mere assertions-"show that far
from committing any cruelties. the regular
troops succeeded in restoring peace and
order" These words. peace and order"
mean slaughtering from 6,OoO to 10000
Christians, men, women and children in
cluded. The friends of Christianity and
humanity, who have a true love and SYM
pathy for the unjustly oppressed and per-
secuted and martyred Christian Arme-
mans. have learned to have no faith in
such so-called official kilograms" that the
Turkish legation may receive or pretend to
have received from Turkey. The Moham-
medan rulers and the Turkish officials in
the past centuries and In the present have
given us many instances to convince us
that Mohammedanism and barbarism If
they are not identical surely do they go
hand in hand. Furthermore, have the
Turkish government and its officers shown
to the world that as government and
its instruments they are in an undeniable
and profound restitution of truthfulness.
This statement is proved beyond the
shadow of doubt by many facts and
observations of worthy persons. Look at
the course that the Turkish government
has pursued from the cruel day of the
massacre to the present time. The gov
eminent concealed the facts and prevented
them becoming known to the world for
nearly two months. But when Sir Phillip
Consul nf
the massacre to the porte the Turkish
minister positively denied the facts "as-
sorting that Mr.. Hallwards report is I'M
true" The porte further STATED outright

Found n Big Snake.

Some excitement was caused in the gar
dens OF the old Van Ness mansion at the
foot Of 18th street by the appearance of a
large moccasin snake which had evidently
just awakened from a winters tOrpOr and
was crawling around in search of food. a
an who saw it first became very much
alarmed, and called out for help, saying
that the reptile had attacked him and that
he had had narrow escape from being
bitten. The snake was killed with clubs
and stones, and was found on measure
ment, to be thirty seven inches III length.
1t was of the fiat-head variety, and was a
most dangerous customer to be at large.
