The Diphtheria Regulations.

As a result, 1t is said, of a controversy
between DIR. c.. l.. Demarest and DIR.
Austin OMalley. a medical sanitary in
spector of the health Office. Health Officer
Woodward has reported to the Commits
sloners that reports of recovery from con-
tagious diseases are not conclusive evil
dence. DR.. Woodward decides also that 1t
Is within the province of the medical sani-
tary inspector. acting upon due authority,
to examine the patient, although 1t Is not
always practicable TO see the patient with
the attending physician. A meteorological
examination, says The health officer. is not
a prerequisite to the attending physician s
issuance of certificate OF recovery, al
though where no such examination is
made II Is impossible to determine when
the patient ceases to be dangerous. 1t is
necessary, holds DIR. Woodward, to Isolate
the patient for such a time as has been
shown by experience to cover such period
of infection. and the disinfection of the
premises prior to the disappearance of tn :
bacillus from the person of the patient Is
useless.
The controversy between Drs. Demarest
and ONIalley arose over what the former
termed was IA case of gross Official and
professional misconduct on the part of
the latter in insisting upon examining a
patient of DIR. Demarest's who had been
pronounced cured by DIR. Demarest 1t is
understood that Dr. Demarest will lay the
matter before the District Medical Society.
although the health officer considers that
DIR. O'Malley simply performed his re-
Quired duties.

Thirty young embers of the Young
Mems Christian Association and their
wives sat down to benedicts' banquet
last night at the Down Town Club, the
first of it's kind in the history of the asso-
citation. Only those members who had re-
nounced the state of single biessedness and
taken unto themselves wives during the
period of service of Mr.. James E. Pugh as
general secretary were invited, and there
were present couples who had been mar
ried within few days after Mr.. Pugh's ar
rival in the city, as well as the brides and
grooms still in their honeymoon Mr.. and
Mrs. Pugh and Association President l..
Cabell Williamson and his wife We're the
guests of the evening. A short informal
reception was held among the members OF
the party as they arrived, ana soon after q
o'clock the march to the banquet hall was
taken up to the strains of an orchestra in
ante room. Tables were arranged to
form a hollow square, and were taStefully
decorated with towering aZaieas, palms
and other plants. A brief welcome was
spoken by Mr.. Norman I. Elliott, master
of ceremonies, and then commenced
animated discussion of the merits of blue
points, conSomme and the other courses of
the menu.
When the coffee had been partaken of
and the board cleared the toasts of the
a most happy VEIN. Mr.. Elliott acting as
the POSTMASTER.
Responses were made by Messrs William
son. Nesbt, Eldridge, Latmer, Tasker.
Pugh and Freeman. Mr.. Pugh, who spoke
to the toast THE new building" said
there is most urgent need for adequate
equipment for carrying on the associations
work in this capital city. Instead of the
present remodeled structure, with a mod
est front of seventy-tve feet, which cannot
accommodate half the membership, there
should be a handsome building, with at
least 116 feet frontage, seven stories in
height and costing, exclusive of the
ground $250,0O0. There were, he said, 3d..
600 young men in Washington between the
ages of fifteen and thirty-tive, and yet the
accomnl dations for them were inferior to
those in every large city. When the peo-
quate accommodations, when they realize
the limitations placed upon the associa-
tons work, then the new building will
come.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs. w. D.

From n snow shoveler'. Point of View

From, n Snow ShOveler's Point of View
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The idle workmen of our city should
thank The Evening Star for it's efforts in
their behalf. Organized and unorganized
workers have needed the necessaries of life
the past winter, and many sufferers have
to a great extent been temporarily relieved
by The Stars good work. Shoveling snow
gave work to number of hungry men.
Our population is increasing at a rapid rate,
labor-saving machinery is keeping pace
with the population, and charitable insti-
buttons and individuals are taxed to their
utmost capacity. Notwithstanding this de-
moralzing scene in the United States, re-
cruits from other countries daily
irving on our shores, only to add to the
misery of those already here. Men in the
nations Capitol kill time" by chewing
the rag about private pension claims or
the Income tax BILL" and give no heed to
their constituents who are deviSing every
means in their power to keep from starry
ing 1t is against the law to beg, but many
are forced to do it. 1t would be impossible
up. Walk down Pennsylvania avenue and
you meet men in destitute circumstances
men who would not ask for assistance If
they did not need it badly. They did not
want the money for whisky they wanted it
for bread or a nights shelter; and even a
poor snow shoveler like myself has yielded
up on more than one occasion.
