A Hot Weather Sussestlon in Venti-
1atf0n.

A Hot Weather Suggestion in Venti-
lati0n.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
About year ago a short statement was
published in The Star regarding the ex-
IRENE difficulty of ventilating our CITY
houses. as ordinarily built, in the summer
season. 1t is pretty well recognized that
II one can have good nights sleep he
can stand almost any degree of heat the
following day. How often 1t is, however,
that on still nights it is next to impossible
to be comfortable or obtain refreshing
sleep. The most uncomfortable night l
have ever had was in city not 500 miles
from Washington. and that too in large
hotel. The only way in which any sleep
at all could be had was to move the mat
tress close to the window on the floor,
where the cool air very slowly settled
down within a foot OF the wall We are
told that we must open the windows a the
top to get a circulation. have tried every
thing in this direction. I have opened ali
three windows full at the top. Two full
open at top and one at bottom All three
open at top and bottom equally. The last
is by far the best, unless the whole win
dow can come out. The remarkable thing
Is that the air is perfectly comfortable at
| distance of only foot and half from
the window.
1t is easy to see that the whole difficulty
lies In the fact that heated air has no
tendency, when still, to move in any direc-
| ton except vertically. In the winter time
with difference of 40 or 80 degrees be-
tween room and the outside temperature
| there is a stronger inflow of cold air when
a window is opened. This summer l have
had an opportunity to test my views in a
new house, and have made a discovery
which will prove a great boon to every
one sweltering in the upper rooms of any
| house or hotel 1 have gone to my room
and found the air almost unbearable even
at 10 o'clock on stu night. This room gets
the full benefit of en- afternoon sun By
opening the trap door to the roof there is
almost magical change; in less than five
minutes the hot air flows out at the trap
door and the cool outside air flows in at
the window. I have been very much sur
prised at the rapidity with which the room
becomes entirely comfortable for sleeping.
The easiest way to bring about this result
Is to get stick about eighteen inches or
two feet long, aid prop up the door, If one
stands in the opening he will feel a power
full rush of the hot sitting air through the
passage. 1t is much better not to open the
trap door till or 10 pm, when the air has
cooled considerably on the outside The
greater the contrast in temperature be-
tween the outer air and that in the room
| the quicker and the more thoroughly will
| the change take place on opening the trap
door. H. A. HAZEN.

The Most Popular Lady.

A contest, open to all ladies employed in
this city by Uncle SAM has been in pro-
gress for a week. Three prizes have been
offered by F. H. Wilson, the F street shoe
man. to the ladies in the employ of the
government who are decided by votes to
be the most popular. The one receiving the
highest number of votes will be given a
free trip to Boston by sea and the other
two can enjoy trips to Niagara Falls and
Cape May. Each purchaser of 80 cents
worth of goods in the store of Mr.. Wilson
is entitled to one VOTE and from the num-
Der of votes already cast it Is evident that
the rivalry in the different departments Is
becoming quite marked. The result of the
voting will be announced on September 80
when a committee of prominent business
and professional men will count the votes
cast up to that date and announce the win

Although in the case Of Mrs. Pinder It
may have been perfectly proper that the

blame" would it not be well If law ex-
listed requiring every dentist to have a
written paper from the patients physician.

Whisky Trust Arrangement.

CHICAGO, March lS.-The Tribune
says: As a result of a convention held
yesterday, 1t is practically assured that
the receivers of the Whisky Trust will
meet with no considerable competition iG
the etfGrt to fix uniform price for
spirits aud alcohol. Since spirits diStil
ling association was formed the leaders
in the fight against the association have
been the American distributing company
Of New York and the Indians diStilling
company. AT yesterdays conference
there were present Fred CurtiSS of New
York, President of the American distri-
button company and Joe Kidd. one Of its
directors, who represented also the
Indiana distilling company; Receivers
McNulta, Mitchell and Lawrence
and s. M. Rice, representing the
stockholders reorganization committee.
The whole situation was carefully can
vaSSed and entire harmony prevailed.
When the officers Of the distributing
company left for New York last night it
was with the understanding that they
would report TO their directors on We'd
neSday in favor of joining the Spirit and
DiStilling aSSocia ion and henceforth
work in harmony with them. The
complaints that the new association had
undertaken to fix arbitrarily the price of
spirits. were declared unfounded, it was
announced that the rules Of the associa-
tion expressly provide that the price OF
spirits shall be absolutely dependent on
the price of corn.
The eastern distillers expressed them
selves as entirely satisfied with the Situa-
ton,

Income Tax Returns.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Thir-
teen of the AS returns for the month
of February, which have been re-
ceived from the 63 internal revenue
districts, contain income tax re-
turns aggregating $500 80. Mas
sachusetts was the first received,
showing payments OF 1885, 46.
The first New York district shows
1888 II. Only two besides the Mas
sachusetts district exceed $1,000,
namely, the first Illinois, 81 ,65l 81,
and the first Pennsylvania, $l,499
So.
No Congressman or Senator is
known to have paid the tax on his
salary as yet. Treasury officials
feel much encouraged at these in
dications OF early returns, as under
the law payment can be delayed
until the end OF the fiscal year.
They predict that the returns will
soon be sufficient to change the
Treasury balance on current re-
ceipts and expenditures to the
right side.

He was not addicted to the many bad
habits that seem so indispensable to some
men. He had nice little bank account

interment. The San Antonio and Aran-

Slick Swiudling Scheme.

MACON, GA, March ia swindler
has recently gotten several thousand dol
lars out of the leading jewellers of the
different cities of the State, by the use of
a very clever game. He operated from
SwainSboro, a town in Emanuel county,
remote from the railroads. He used the
letter-headS of j. c. Coleman, a well
known merchant of high financial stand
ing, and signed Coleman's name to the
letters. The merchants shipped the
goods at once, after getting Coleman's
rating. When the goods were received
at Millvllle, the nearest railroad station,
the express agent did not deliver them
until assured by the merchant Coleman
that he had not ordered such goods.
Then he delivered them to the stranger.
