Good judges, men who have followed
the old Turnverein and other Athletic
exhibitions in this city for years, say
that next Monday evenings performance
by the Portland Athletic Club will sur
pass anything of the kind ever seen in
City Hall. The old performances, which
we all rememb her. were up to their own
date and in all respects first class, but
the world has progressed since then, and
with it amateur work in gymnastics.
The work on the barssand rings by the
Athletic Club men will be especiallyfine.
The number of men who can perform
difficult feats is unusually large. The
club and bar free drills have reached the
point of perfection, and the entire class
moves to the music of Gilbert's orches-
ira like a piece of machinery. The box
ing, fencing, living statuary and 1ndl-
vidual acts on the slack wire and bars
and with the -clubs willscomplete a
programme pleasing in all its features.
Good seats are selling rapidly at Stock
BRIDGES. Remember the performance
promptly at O'Clock next Mon
day evening.

HEFEsTWAL OF AUTHORS.
The Last Opportunity to Witness This De-
Hghtful Fair.

| The Festival of Authors" at city hall
| that has given SO much pleasure to all
who have witnessed it will be closed this
evening, and it behooves all who have
| not seen it to be sure and attend either
| this afternoon or evening.
Last evening Miss Mary S. McCobb
| gave her familiar Mrs. Jarley's Wax
Works" to an audience that packed every
| inch of space and applauded her many
witty illusions most heartily. Miss Nc
Cobb has gained reputation as the
imitable owner of the "wax-fggers"
almost as great as that obtained by the
celebrated Nine. Tnssaud herself.
This afternoon there Will be
delightful concert and there will
be ample opportunity afforded to
secure great bargains at the booths. In
the evening the Portland Light Infantry
will give grand drill the same that
created such an interest when produced
by them at their exhibition at City hall
last week. Chandler's full military band
will also appear. This will make an
evening of rare attraction.
| The churches that will furnish the
ables in the restaurant today will be
| the Vaughan street, State street, Free
street and St.Stephen's.

itself:

| charge are not only enthusiastic in the
cause for which they labor but what is
better are all efficient workers. AS fast
as the booths were placed in position
| they took charge of the decorations, and
| the pleasing arrangement is due as much
| to their good taste and skill as to any
suggestions of mine. The whole sch eme
originated with this committee and has
| been carried but under their supervision.
| You also credit me with painting the
| fireplace in the Whittier booth. This
| fire place was painted by Smith Bros,
| from drawing by John Calvin Stevens,
| and was used at an entertainment held
| some time ago.
The ladies have spared neither time
nor money to make this fair an attrac-
| ton, and it is hoped that the public will
be very generous in its patronage.

PLUMBING INSPECTION.
Some Significant Facts Told by the Engin-
7a eer of the Gas Works.

To the Editor of the Press:
Portland, April 6, 1894.
The following letter from the engineer
of the Gas Works seemed 50 timely and
SO much to the point, that I have OBJ
tanned his permission to give it this pub
licity, with the hope that his testimony
may have some weight with those mem
bers of the city government who are de-
sirous of acting for the best interests of
the public:
ENGINEER's OFFICE, GAS WORKS,
Portland Me-, April 5. 1894.
John Cabin Steoens, Esq:
Dear sir-My attention has just been
drawn to your communication In yester-
days PRESS in relation to the action OF
our City Government showing a dlspo-
sition to dispense with the Office OF in
spector of plumbing.
Evidently the gentlemen lntrusted
with our city affairs, do not realize the
importance OF this matter, and l think
you have placed this company under q
debt of obligation for inviting their at
tention to matter which jeopardizes
health, and perhaps life.
cannot but think that, if the import
ance of perfect plumbing is explained to-,
and understood by our City Government,
that they would be both willing and anx-
ious to secure the services of the very
best expert in practical plumbing OBJ
tainable as inspector.
Some of the most offensive smelling
gases are not poisonous, while others
with scarcely any noticeable odor will
produce death if inhaled for even less
than an hour, and yet the victim would
not have known that he had inhaled
anything but pure air.
[ have no doubt that many families in
this city are breathing portions of sewer
gas when in their homes and are not
conscious of it, for the reason that it is
nearly odorless, but no one can truth
fully deny that it is poisonouse, and fire.
quently produce lingering diseases which
may terminate in death.
As evidence of defective plumbing in
our city, will mention few cases that
were brought to my notice. During the
winter of 1929, we had many breaks
in our gas mains, owing to the unusual
| depth Of the frost. Four of these leaks
were near the city sewers, which the
leaking gas entered, and in each case the
gas passed through the private sewer
pipes and entered dwelling houses near
by. Of course the offensive odor of the IL
Illuminating gas manifested its presence at
once to the olfactory organs of the in
mates, but who can doubt that these
same families have been, and perhaps
are still inhaling sewer gas and do not
know it. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that if the Gas Company's gas can pass
the traps and poorly made joints of the
sewer or drain pipes, that other gases
generated in the city sewers can enter
the same way.
Less than two months since, we had a
break on Free, between Cotton and Gen.
tire streets, the gas entered the sewer,
passed up drain pipe about so feet to
the rear of store on Centre street, our
gas making itself disagreeable to the oc-
cupants, and like the other cases men
toned before, they are quite likely in
haling portions of poisonous sewer gases
every day.

Yours truly,
VIM. YoRKE.

These cases of accidental discovery OF
faulty drains are only few of the many
that have demonstrated the wisdom of
some regulation of plumbing practice,
and we all know that the best of reguIa-
lions will fail unless the proper person
is appointed to see that its provisions
are complied with. Our plumbing law
is right and in accord with the best au-
thorities on sanitary work, and the in
spector should be practical plumber in
ordersto ensure it's proper enforcement.
Sincerely,
JOHN CALVIN STEVENS.
