South Wasbineton pefeuded.

EDITOR TINES: In your issue of the 2sth
instant DR.. Woodward gave out the statement
that In his estimation it was blessing to the
community at large that the contagion had
not made its appearance in the eongested
alleys and byways in South Washington,
otherwise the calamity might have been more
appalling.
l wish to refure with vigor the assertion
made by the doctor. 1 have trayersed this
beautiful city from center to circumference
and could, if occasion demanded, point out to
him hundreds OF places situated in the heart
OF the city where the condition of the oe-
cupants are in a more alarming state oi
pestilence than in the southern section.
Before assuming to charge the people oi
South Washington with undue filth let him
direct his attention to Pomeroy street, where
the odor of filth is so prevalent in summer
and at this season of the year as to be unbear-
able. Then after fumigating this section OF
our city let the doctor give us his undivided
attention, "and find TO his entire satisfaction
that we are, collectively speaking as clean IN
this portion OF the city as. in any other.

TAKEN FROM THEIR MOTHER.
Three Little Children Piteously Beg Judge
Miller Not to Be Placed with the
Board of Guardians.

Miller Not to Be Placed with the
/ Board of Guardians.
"Don't leave US. mamma pleaded li.tle
Eleanora Hibbs, in Judge Miller's police
court yesterday afternoon, as great tear
drops trickled down her cheeks, and her nine
year-old brother, Burnett, cIung tightly to her
skirts, and looked beseechingly at the judge
The case was that of Virginia Hibbs against
her husband, Benjamin E. Hibbs, a shoe
maker of No. 1907 Virginia avenue southwest.
Mrs. Hibbs is separated from her better half
and had filed petition asking the court to
place her three children, Raymond, aged
twelve years; Eleanora, aged nine. and Bur-
nett, aged four, in the care of the board Of
childrens guardians until she could find en-
pioymenI which would enable her 10 support
them.
She alleged that her husband, who was in
court. was not Fit party to have the care
and control Of the young ones, as he was ad-
dieted TO the excessive use Of strong drink,
and also spent much of his time and money
over the gaming table and at the race course,
which, she said. renders him unable to sup
port his offspring
Mr.. Hibbs denied the allegations of his wife
and charged her with unfaithfulness. Both
sides had a full complement of witnesses,
male and female, and a lively cross-flre was
kept up between counsel. One of the wife's
charges was that the father had carried the
eldest boy, Raymond, across the river to the
race-course with him. Both sides produced
testimony as to good character, and the father
informed the court that he was willing and
ready to take his children and provide for
them, but that he would never again live with
Mrs Hibbs.
When Judge Miller thought it was time to
render his Solomonic decision he ordered that
a.. -. i. 4 a
of guardians for six months, and if in the
meantime the father demonstrated 10 the sat
isfaction OF the court that he was the proper
party TO care for the children, they would be
turned over to him.
A pathetic scene followed as the agents Of
the board took possession of the little ones.
The youngest ones cried piteously and begged
to be allowed to remain with their mother,
but to no avail. They Will he sent 70 the In
dustrial Home School, II is understood.

SELECTING A POSTMASTER.

President Cleveland has now IN his pos
session several applications for the important
position Of postmaster OF Washington.
From the standpoint Of ability there is
small choice among the respective candidates.
but there arc several considerations OF sufl-
cient consequence to furnish the President
reliable guidance In selection.
First and foremost the appointment OF a
local postmaster should conform to the prin-
ciple Of home rule. He should be a resident
OF Washington and a man thoroughly iden-
tGed with the affairs and fortunes OF the
District
There is fresh in the minds Of Washington
people a notable instance iE which the Presi-
dent disregarded the home rule idea in a
local appointment. The making OF that ap-
pointment was a serious mistake which the
President would do well not to repeat Wash
ington's postmaster should not be imported
IRON Kansas or from any other out-of-the-
way region.
Lastly, political influence should have
nothing to do with the appointment. The
administration Of the post-oflce is a busi-
ness with which politics should have no
connection whatever. No man can serve two
masters. He who accepts Office as political
favor serves the politicians whose Influence
obtained his position rather than the people
whose servant he nominally is.
The Lexow investigation into New York
municipal affairs furnishes an example Of the
blighung influence Of politics in the manage
ment of local affairs. As the Capital Of the
country Washington ought to supply a model
OF non-political administration Of local gov
ernment. The President would therefore do
well to leave political considerations out Of
the question in selecting a postmaster for
Washington.

Judge Kimban found it necessary to call
another attorney down yesterday afternoon.
benjamin Wallace, coIored, was on trial fol
creating a disorder and using improper Ian
guage in the Western Market house. The
principal witness against Wallace was Mar
ket Master J. Burns. While the latter WAS

asked Mr. Burns q question

market master, II am explaining to the
court +"
But I'm talking to you" hotly reioined
Lawyer Chase.
The witness continued his testimony and
when turned over TO the eolored attorney foI
cross-examination the latter demanded in
stentorian tones:

court, that is not the proper way to examine

said Witness Burns.
'And you shall be, added Judge Kimball.
The case then proceeded, and Lawyer
Chase's client, Wallace, was fined $40 OF
thirty days.
During the hearing Lawyer Chase also said
that while he had respect for the Metropolitan
police force as a whole, some of their testi-
mony in the police court must be looked upon
with suspicion.

BUNcoRD THE BRIBERs

1t is reported that newspaper man in New
York received bribing fund from the sugar
trust TO be distributed among the corre-
spondents in Washington to the end that a
partial quietus should be put upon the almost
universal press denuneiation Of the Have
meyer ring.
Granting the truth OF the report, this news
paper man disgraced nobody but himself,
and eXecuteda a skillful bunco game on the
trust crowd.
II the sugar bribers had not been so elated
with their success with Senators, few quiet
thoughts would have convinced them that the
last place TO try on any financial persuasive
nesa was along newspaper row. They should
have known that these correspondents would
rather telegraph the truth and expose a
wrong than jingle gold eagles in their
pockets.
II there was an attempt at bribery, its RI
diculous failure is shown by the fact that the
whole press of the country, with few ex-
ceptions, denounced the infamous German
Havemeyer conspiracy in both editorial and
news columns.
Try again, gentlemen. But if you wish to
succeed, roll your dollars along some place
more promising than newspaper row.

A Very Valuable Medicine.

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably
adapted to the purposes for which it
is intended, as Chamberlain Pain
Balm. Hardly a week passes but
some member of the family has need
of it. a toothache or headache may
be cured by it. A touch of rheuma-
tism or neuralgia guieted. The severe
pain of burn or scald promptly
relieved and the sore healed in much
less time than when medicine has to
be sent for. A sprain may be promptly
treated before inflammation sets in,
which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive imme-
diate treatment before the parts be
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it
becomes serious. A lame back relieved
and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest
cured without paying a doctors bill
Procure so cent bottle at once and
you will never regret it. For sale by
all Druggists.
