IS A NUISANCE.
Ten Days Given to Discontinue the
Buzzard's Point Factory.

In relation to the complaint of the Jewell
& Co. factory on Buzzard's Point, about
which residents of the Arsenal grounds and
Others have complained, Health Officer
Hammett ordered an inspection of the place
by Inspectors Shepherd and Beaumont, who
have reported follows:
THE business of renderings fats boiling
and making tallow. and receiving storing
and crushing of bones is done by c. B. Jew
ell & Co. The manufacture of soaps was at
one time done, but this branch of the bust
ness has been discontinued. The business
as now conducted is a nuisance although
care Is taken and the machinery has been
Improved SO as to confine the odors, vet it
is impossible. These are disseminated, and
particularly in heavy. damp weather the
emanations are sickening and a menace to
the health and comfort OF those residing at
the Arsenal grounds.
The location of this establishment is
about so yards from the residences and
quarters, and with an easterly wind the
impurities are here conferred, so that the
closing of windows is rendered necessary
10 protect those here quartered. We think
the place Is unsuited for the business as
now conducted As stated, il is a nuisance
and cannot be abated permanently or effec-
tually unless the discontinuance of the busi-
ness is ordered
Upon receipt Of this report Dr. Hammond
had served on the proprietors of the place
notice TO discontinue the business within
ten days.

Teachers' Aid Society.

In spite of the rainy weather last evening
a large audience was in attendance at the
musical and literary entertainment, togeth-
er with the ice cream and strawberry fes-
tival, at the Force school, given by the pupils
of that school for the benefit of the Teach
ers' Annuity and Aid Association of this
city. The selected program consisted of
dancing, singing, recitations and instru-
mental music, which, together with the
Walcott Orchestra, made the evening an
enjoyable one to the large number present.
The rooms and halls of the school were
tastefully decorated with greens and Amer
lean flags. which presented a pretty appear
ance. After the regular program was ove-
ice cream, Strawberries, lemonade and
candy were to be had at popular prices
which increased the fund to a large extent
This entertainment given at the Force
school Is among the large number that are
being given by the respective schools for the
benefit of the Teachers Annuity and Aid
Association of the District. The motive of
this organization is to provide for the teach
ers who have faithfully served in the public
schools, but are no longer able to continue
In the work or to provide other means of
support for themselves. Similar organiza-
lions have been formed for the same pur-
pose In the different cities.
The entertainment last night was under
the general supervision of Mr.. b. w. Murch,
principal Of the school, who was assisted by
Miss Farley and Miss Chase; but the other
teachers of the building rendered their sery-
Ices for the entertainment

ALL WATCHED KAUCHER.
Omcers Who Spent May L Observing a
Sergeant.

Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court in
the case Of Police Sergeant Theodore
Kaucher, charged with assaulting Mr. Fred
Harries. the court heard the defense after
The Stars report closed. A number Of po-
licemer, including Lieut.. Teeple and the de-
PENDANT. gave testimony. Lieut.. Teeple
gave evidence to the effect that he was
watching Sergt. Kaucher. and, although he
was about sixty feet from him. he was able
to see every move he made. He was GER
tain that the sergeant did not do the club
bling. The other officers called were also on
the alert for Kaucher. and the court con-
cludcd from their testimony that they paid
but little attention to the crowd.
The evidence Of the officers put the AFFAIR
in the street, while the clerks In the coast
survey, who watched IT from the windows
located 1t on the sidewalk near the parking
Sergt. Kaucher, in his own behalf, denied
that he struck Mr.. Harries. He did re-
member having pushed him.
But Mr.. Harries had bruise on his
shoulder, and II was not made by an ord.-
nary gentle shove, such as the officer ad-
mitted.
Judge Kimball. In disposing of the case
said he was at loss to understand why
Kaucher needed so much watching on that
day. The assault he said was without JUS
LITIGATION. Sergt kaucher, he thought, was
honest in his convictions that he did not
use the club. but the court could not set
aside the evidence of so many reputable
citizens on the showing made by the de-
Tense. Judge kimball commented on the
fact of there being a large and excited
crowd on the street that day, and In i'm
posing the penalty he took into considera-
ton the past record of the officer and made
the fine So remarking that If he had been
before the court on similar charges before
the penalty would have been much heavier.

For the Eye of the Health officer.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Coxey and his buns were compelled to
leave the city because 1t was feared they
would create q nuisance, and further be-
cause they created no wealth, spent no
money, nor caused others to spend 1t. A
real estate syndicate is maintaining a
nuisance On the shape of a pond Of stag
nant water on the vacant square bounded
by 18th, 18th, l and X streets northeast
And as 1t Is neither spending any money,
nor permitting others to spend any, on
that square, is 1t not about time that DIR.
Hammett, in his official capacity as health
officer, interfered, and compelled them to
either drain the square or sell 1t to those
who will drain It? One case, at least, Of
typhoid malaria has occurred from that
square, and others are suspected. Is the
law insufficient to meet the case? Can a
citizen be compelled to provide an air.
tight receptacle for his garbage, and a
dozen citizens be permitted to infect the
air we breathe" at our cost and detri-
ment? Or Is 18th and l streets northeast
too far out for DR.. Hammetts olfactory
nerves to locate the odor? The people who
go down the river in boats are entitled to
protection from nauseating SMELLS and We
think the people who attend the Church
of the Holy Name, on 18th and l streets
northeast, or who live in the above locality
are equally entitled to the same protection.
Thinking thus, we ask that you publish
this, in the belief that DR.. Hammett while
reading The Star, may read of our danger
and at once take steps to remove the Of
Tending cause. CHAS. p. PEAKE.

last night was somewhat disappointed be-
cause Carmen" was not sung, but the
great majority stayed and were greatly
pleased at the way in which Faust was
sung and acted. Nine. Koert-Kronod was
unable to sing, and so Carmen could not
be given. The management refunded the
money to those who so desired it, or ex-
changed their tickets for Monday night
when that opera will be repeated. Faust"
was presented even better than on Tuesday
night. and there was the additional attrac-
ton of Sig. Del Puente, who sang the role
of Valentine. The liberal applause and

uiar hold he has upon the scientists and
artists OF this city, among whom he has
worked so long and so successfully. Prof
Holmes, who Is both scientist and an
artist. has a world wide reputation in his
special field of work, and from the speeches
made last night 1t was evident that his COL

securing the services of Mr.. Holmes at the
head of one of the three departments of the
Institution.
Covers were laid for nearly a hundred in
the tea room of Wizards for the banquet
by every evidence of good fellowship, albeit
marked by more than the usual amount of
regiet at losing member of the fraternity

Hamilton Gushing of the bureau of ethnol-
ogy presided. At his right, about the tables
which were beautifully decorated with
flowers, were Prof Holmes, Prof. Charles
D. Walcott, DR.. G. Brown Goode. and on his
left Senior Zeballos, minister from the
Argentine Republic; Prof. w. ]. MCGEE. w.
E. Curtis and DR.. Cyrus Adler.
The first speech of the evening. after the
menu had been satisfactorily disposed Of,
was made by Prof. G. Brown Goode of the
National Museum, who responded to the
toast Of the scientific institutions Of Wash
ington. He referred to his pride in enjoying
the acquaintance of Prof. Holmes and to the
fact that he was one of original group
of seven scientific investigators. DR.. T. c.
Mendenhall of the coast and geodetic sur
Vey followed him In a speech on Ohio, as
the home of the guest, he himself hailing
from the buckeye state. Other speeches
were made by Mr.. E. II. Miller. the artist,
who spoke of the work done by Mr.. Holmes
as water colorist; DR.. d. T. Day, Senior
Zeballos, Mr.. VIM. Eleroy Curtis, Prof
Thomas Wilson, Prof. Otis T. Mason. Judge
]. ID. Mcguire and Prof. ]. H. Gannett
Prof. w. J. MCGEE expressed the opinion
that the dream Of jefferson for a great
national university had been realized on a
grand scale and that the scientific nstitu-
lions of Washington were in many depart
ments leading the world. Prof. William
Flint read poem, and Prof. Charles d.
Walcott presented Prof. Holmes. in behalf
OF his friends. with large silver loving
cup. The banquet closed with a graceful
acknowledgment of the honor paid him by
Prof. Holmes. in which he declared that for
the encouragement in undertaking his new
work he would be willing to go to worse
place than Chicago. All rose and sang
Aud Lang Syne." and a very pleasant
incident in the life of a deservedly popular
man was completed.
