Mayor. DR.. Hays and DR.. jameson in re-

force. The Board of Health expects to an
point a sanitarian tomorrow, and the other
matter was postponed until after this ap-
pointment is made. The sanitarian will be
the captain of the sanitary force. The
charges which have been made will be laid
before him, and If he thinks it necessary for
the good of the work the entire force may
be reorganiZed. Just how this will be done
has not yet been decided, but most likely by
the reappointment of such members OF the
old force as are looked upon as capable and
efficient and the dropping of the others in
the reorganization. If this course is not
adopted charges win be preferred against
several If not all the members. and they
will be tried by the board. Under this plan
any who are dismissed would go out under
a cloud, while If the other course should be
adopted some would simply be dropped out
as one of the things incident to a change
in the administration of the departments
affairs, and, SO far as the record is con-
cerned, there would be no cloud on the
names of those who might be dropped from
the rolls. "A course will be definitely settled
upon tomorrow or Friday.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Carroll Institute Minstrels.-The Carroll
Institute Minstrels entertained a large au-
dience last evening at Carroll Institute Hall
with an entertainment that differed in near
ly every feature from the show that earned
the enviable reputation now enjoyed by the
organization. The personnel of the min
strclls was unchanged, and when the curtain
rose on the first part George O'Connor Percy
Leach, Will Cullison and Elmo Jasper &C.
cupied their accustomed places on the ends
and Phil. Baer was posing as interlocutor
The success of the performance was in
large part due to the efforts of the staff,
George T. Cox, manager; Percy F. Leach
stage director; William H. Lepley, secre-
tary; William S. Mccarthy, treasurer; Chas
F. Locraft property man, and to Ben. judi
son, the musical director, who ARRANGED all
the music, and to the assistance of the Car

every prospect of a success as the members
of the Ladies' A.d have sold a good number

SWALLOWED ROUGH ON RATS.
A Long Life of Depravfty Ends in
Suicide.

Lizzie Herbert, colored, seventy years old,
who has spent many years of her life In
the Division ended her existence last
night it is thought with a dose of Rough
on Rats" for a box of the poison was
found on the floor near her dead body this
morning. Lizzie kept a dsreputable house
for many years For several years past she
has been addicted to the use of intoxicants
She has been arrested a number of times
for petty offenses, including disorderly con-
duct and drunkenness, and has been we'll
known in police circles for fully twenty
years. Last night she was about the "Di-
vision and her own shanty as usual, and
those of her class who saw her noticed
nothing about her conduct to indicate that
she contemplated ending her life. When the
light in her room went out nothing more
was heard of her. She failed to leave her
room this morning, and Policeman Fathers
was asked by her friends to make an in
vestigaton.
The policeman broke open the door lead
ing to her room and there on the floor found
the lifeless body of the old woman. Beside
her was the box of poison, and the officer.
naturally enough, concluded that she had
committed suicide.
The officer took charge of the premises
and notified the coroner of the woman's
death. 1t is likely that Lizzie's body will
be buried in potter's field.

ON the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A very curious decision has recently been
handed down in the superior court of San
Francisco by Judge Daingerfeld. The ac-
ton Itself was a curious one. One Mrs.
Kittie Morrison brought suit against her
sister, Elizabeth H. Rodgers, widow of the
late millionaire, Alexander Montgomery,
and now Mrs. Arthur Rodgers. Mrs. Nor
rison sued to recover S2I0,Oo0 for inducing
Montgomery to marry her sister. Mrs. Rod
gers attorneys demur. on the ground that
the contract sued upon was against pub
lie policy"
Judge DainGerfield sustained the demurrer.
He declared as legal principle that con
tracts in promotion of marriage are void"
Judge Daingerfield went on to say that mar
rage brokerage contracts were void under
the common law of England, although valid
under the civil law of Justinian." This
" ould make them valid in nearly all the
countries of continental Europe. No pre-
cedent was found for the suit by any of the
counsel Judge Daingerfield may therefore
be looked upon as a pioneer.

Soap Made From Waste.

From London Invention.
1t is difficult for one to always realize
how much we owe to science and inven-
ton. By these two powerful genii Of mod
ern times waste has become valuable, and
little or nothing is lost. Under the name
of soap stock peculiar product appears to
be prepared in the province of Leece, in the
consular district of Brindisi. 1t is pre-
pared by subjecting the residue of the olive
kernels to chemical processes under the
action of sulphuric acid, after all means OF
extraction by pressure have been exhaust.
ed. OF this substance it is stated that dur
ing 1894 the quantity produced amounted
to about 1900 tons, the medium market
price for which ranged at about $50 per
ton.
This article, which is of little value as q
lubricator, has an extensive sale for use in
soap manufacture, and in years when the
oil crop has been favorable considerable
quantities have been exported to America,
Great Britain and northern Europe. This
Gil is locally known as "olio sufureo," or
sulphur oil, from the system of its eXtrac-
ton. The refuse left after the extraction
of this oil is known as "sausa," and Il
used for fuel for steam boilers by millers,
as being more economical than coal.

Say They Were Badly Treated.

Three men, fresh from the hardships OF
life on an oyster dredger, called upon San
itary Officer Frank today for assistance.
They were Walter Mathiason, Scotch
man; James McDermott, an Epglishman,
and Edward Murphy, an Irishman. The
Scotchman had a sore hand. but he had no
serious complaint to enter against his en-
ployers. But the others lodged bitter
complaint. They worked, they said, about
eighteen hours day on half rations, were
beaten and otherwise cruelty treated, and
were then put ashore at Lower Cedar
Point, without being paid their wages.
Sanitary Officer Frank furnished them
transportation to Baltimore, and advised
them to enter criminal proceedings against
those whom they said had treated them SO
cruelty.

the Suez Canal changed the commerce of
the eastern world. 1t seems amazing to
me that any one would have any objection

British Columbia down along the whole

Captain Lees Thinks That
Nell" Was Intended to
Mean "Len."
A Boy Witness Who Saw the Muir
derer In Front Of Miss
Harrington's Door.

Captain Lees made discovery yester-
day which has caused him good deal of
qualification, and explains point that
was touched upon frequently at the in
quest on Miss Nellie Harrington's body on
Saturday.
The letters sent by ex-senator Buck to
Miss Harrington, and which were pro-
duced and read at the inquest, bore the
signature Nell" Why Buck should have
adopted such pen name has been puz-
cling the Captain, and he pondered over the
matter till he hit upon a plausible solution
OF the question.
lie was led astray by at first thinking
that Mr.. Buck signed Miss Harrington s
maiden name from sense of humor owing
to the intimate relations that existed be-
tween them. Then he brought a habit
into play that has done him good service
In the past, and he spelled the name
''Nell' backward, which gave him ellen. -

for, and by spelling it backward / have
been able to find my man. | was thinking
over that when | spelled 'NelP backward
and the puzzle was solved"
When the inquest opens this morning
an important witness will be Malcolm
Dunn, boy twelve years of age. He is a
nephew of Mrs. Grouse, who lives il the
basement of the house where the murder
was committed. Malcolm, on the day of
the murder, took luncheon with his aunt.
and after luncheon left the house to go to
Jefferson Square, to play for awhile before
going to his grandfathers, at Ingleside,
where he lives.
As he closed the iron gate opening on
the sidewalk from his aunt's house, he saw
man standing on the top of the steps in
emily waiting for the door to open. The
could not see his face. He said the man
was of heavy build and wore dark trousers.
The time, as near as can be fixed, was be-
tween II: 20 and II 80 o'clock, or about an
hour before Mrs. Kellogg saw the smoke
issuing from Miss Harrington's rear win
dow
The boy did not speak about seeing the
man till last Wednesday, when one of his
aunJ's called upon his grandfather. They
were talking about the murder and NAL
colin spoke about seeing the man. Captain
Lees was at once notified and he made ar
rangements for the boy to give his testi.
moDy this morning. In all probability the
man seen by Malcolm was the murderer of
Miss Harrington.

SMITH WAS INDIGNANT,
He Claims 1t Was He Who Got
the Divorce, and Not His
Better Half.
His Former Wife and Her Sister
Asked to Be Taken to the
City Prison.

The published account of the arrest of
Mrs. Ellen Smith and her sister, Mrs.
Catherine FiIgate, has aroused the ire of
H. G. Smith, former husband of the first
named lady. Smith says that it was he
who secured the divorce, and not the wife
as stated.
In regard to the trouble last Wednesday
night at his home on Webster street. when
Mrs. Smith and her sister were carried to
the City Prison by Officer Wells, he tells a
very different story from that of Mrs.
Smith
81 went home Wednesday night and
found the door locked, said Smith yester-
day, land as my child was very sick 1
could not understand such action. [ did
not try to get in by force for not knowing
how many there were inside or their OBJ
ject in keeping me out, | thought discre-
ton the better part of valor and lert. On
Hayes street [ met Officer Wells, and told
him about the child being sick, and the
door locked on me. He said that for the
child's sake he would go over about 7
door open. Officer Wells did not go in
with me.
II found my boy crying and asked him
what was the matter Mrs. Filgate spoke
up and said, What right have you to
speak to that boy? You are divorced man
since IL O'Clock to-day. You have no right
here, SO you had better get out
"Mrs. Smith came on the scene and
backed her sister up in everything she
said. | told Mrs. Filgate that she had no
right there, and then both the women
tackled me.
II went out and they tried to bar the
door, when | endeavored to raise the front
window. Then it was 1 called Officer
Wells and Special Officer Johnston. Officer
Wells talked courteously to them and adj
vised Mrs. Filgate to go home and leave
me alone. Mrs. Smith ard her sister be-
came very violent and showered all sorts
OF vulgar names on Mr.. Wells and myself
Mrs. Smith also hit Officar Wells in the
mouth. Mrs. Filgate insisted on his ring
ing up the patrol wagon that they might
be taken to the City Prison. He refused
at first and did all he could to keep them
from doing violence. They insisted on 60
ing down and Officer Wells obliged them
in the end. The case was dismissed in
court by mutual consent"
