Death of Mr.. L. G. Pcttengill.

Mr.. E. G. Pettengill, much respected
citizen of Washington, died at his resi-
dence, No 1713 New York avenue north
west, at $50 o'clock last evening, after an
illness of over three months with bronchi-
tbs and pleurisy. Mr.. Pettengill was born
of revolutionary stock at Clarendon, Or
leans county, N. Y, September q, 1927. In
early life he engaged In mercantile pur-
suits, and was worker in the old whig
ard republican parties. Under President
Fillmore he was postmaster, and during
the stirring times of the first Lincoln cam
paign was captain of company of wide
Awakes."
Although physically disqualified from en-
listing at the breaking out of the rebellion,

In recognition of his political work he re-
ceived first-class clerkship in the United
States Treasury Department and removed

PETITIONS FROM THE CHURCHES.
Material for Carrying ON the Effort to
Secure Prohibition.

Material for Carrying on the Effort to
Secure Prohibition.
When Congress convenes next December
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union
will present its seventh annual petition for
total prohibition of liquor traffic within the
District of Columbia. A bill will also be
formulated to be presented at the same
time.
Senator Proctor will bring up the bill and
present the petition, which will no doubt
be filed away in the same pigeon hole with
the seven preceding ones There are men
in both houses of Congress. says Mrs.
committee, who believe in prohibition, and
they fail to vote for the w. c. T. U. bills.
Others have said, according to Mrs. Smith,
that II they could be convinced that the
best people of the District of Columbia are
in favor of prohibition, especially II the
pastors of the churches favored 1t, many
Senators and members would be willing to
vote for it. Acting on this suggestion
members of the w. c. T. U. set about to
circulate petitions in the churches and the
result is they have obtained huge rolls of
signatures. Mrs. Alma Davis secured the
Endorsement of all but one of the Metho-
dist Episcopal churches, while Mrs. L. d.
Merrick got the Endorsement of about half
of the Presbyterians Mrs. Jennie Bartlett
got the voice of every Baptist church. The
Congregationalists, Christian, Friends and
United Brethren all signed the petition, and
some of the rectors of Episcopal, Lutheran
and Unitarian churches readily gave their
names

Re.uscisntins the Drowned.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The circumstances surrounding the sad
fate of Mrs. Martha West and the prompt
recovery of the body emphasize the i'm
portsnce of taking immediate steps to in
struct proper persons how to perform arti-
fcial respiration. By proper persons is
meant all who are likely to be called upon
to witness such cases.
I would suggest that the health officer
have printed if he has not already done so
drowned, and these be hung in conspicu-
Gus places. as in all the police stations. on
buildings near the river banks, on boat
houses, steamboats,, &c. Persons have
been rescued even when respiration had
ceased for some time. This poor woman
made respiratory efforts while the by
ISLANDERS gazed helplessly at her feeble
struggle for existence.
There Is reason to believe that had aid
been promptly rendered life would have re-
warded the effort The rules for the per-
formance of artificial respiration are SIM
pie and any enc can be instructed how to
employ them intelligently. If a man were
discovered hanging with a rope around his
neck and still breathing no one would ex-
cuse bystanders for letting him die be-
cause a physician was not present to cut
him down and unite the rope. The cases
are parallel for it is just as easy to pro-
duce artificial respiration as to cut and un-
tie the rope. Certainly the police depart
ment should be instructed in this matter

GERMAN PYTHIANS WIN,
A Signal Victory Over the Use of the
Ritual.


Ritual.
German Pythians won a signal victory
in the courts yesterday in Chicago in the
fight over blacklisting for refusal to adopt
the English ritual. Waldeck Lodge, No.
136, sued the Supreme Lodge of Illinois,
asking the court to enjoin it from taking
away the lodge charter, and also to issue a
certain passwords. Judge Brentano has
rendered decision in the plaintiffs favor.
The Supreme Lodge, at its meeting in
Washington in August, 1894, revised its
constitution and bylaws and adopted pro-
visions, among which was one which pro-
vided that 'the ritual of the order shall
be printed and published only in the En-
glish language, except as may hereafter
be authorized
In September, 1894, the grand chancellor
of Illinois ordered the surrender Of The
charter of Waldeck Lodge and its German
rituals, and order ed that the lodge use on
ly the English rituals at it's meetings. Wal
deck Lodge refused to comply with the de-
mand and the chancellor presented charges
to the grand tribunal, charging the lodge
with violating alleged laws.
The grand tribunal found Waldeck Lodge
guilty only of disobeying the order of the
grand chancellor. This finding the lodge
deemed unreasonable, and prepared to sub
init the matter to the supreme tribunal,
but it was shown to the court that the ep-
peal to the upper tribunal was refused ard
the grand tribunal would not stay It's judg-
ment, which provided for the expulsion of
the lodge and the forfeiture of it's fran
chise and property.

PLUMBERS MAY DEFY 1T
Defect Said to Exist in the District
Plumbing Law.
No Prosecution Can BE Brought Under
1t for Cutting the Streets
without q Permit.

A defect has been discovered In
the plumbing law which, 1t is believed.
renders one of its most important provi-
sioIs imperative and seriously embar-
rasses the Commissioners.
According to the rules and regulations
governing plumbers. 1t is primarily pro-
vided that before they shall engage in any
work in the District they shall first be duly
registered as master plumbers. This. 1t is
held, insures good work. Another provi-
sion, and one which relates to the subject
matter now before the Commissioners, is
that before cuts are made in the streets,
sidewalks and alleys of the city permits
therefor must first be issued.
Some time ago a plumber who failed to
convince the plumbers examining board of
trade, and was. therefore. refused Ii
cense, made application to the Commission
ers for permit to open the street for the
purpose of doing some work. The permit
was refused, whereupon he proceeded to
open the street and do the work without
any permission from the authorities. The
case was Immediately presented to the
prosecuting attorney, with instructions to
bring the offender into court. He declined,
however. to prosecute, on the ground that
there was no law governing the case. This
was serious embarrassment and one that
worried the Commissioners not a little.
CuucT SuCH d HAL COulu cut tHe
streets when and where he pleased, work
ing serious damage to the streets, and in
many cases, great Inconvenience to the
residents and property holders The case
was written out and sent to the attorney
for the District for his opinion as to the
law governing the case, together with an
opinion as to the best mode of procedure
for the Commissioners to take.
1t is understood that a case will shortly
be brought in the Police Court, under Sec
ton Al of the Revised Statutes (Abert S
compilation). This section would seem to
cover the case. 1t says:
1.-The Commissioners (board of public
workS) shall have entire control of and
make all regulations which they shall deem
necessary for keeping in repair the streets,
avenues. alleys and sewers of the city,
aid all other works which may be in
trusted to their charge by Congress-
There is another law upon which prose
cutions may he based. 1t is found in
Webb's Digest. page 300. and relates to the
protection of public and private property.
The streets being the property of the
United States, any DETACHMENT of them
without due authority might be punishable
under this act

A Washington Singer in Richmond

A Washington singer IN h1chn1Onu.

her work in the warmest manner. The
Dispatch this morning says:
'"The subject Of common curiosity. born
of the flattering reports spread abroad from
Washington, was Mrs. Dorothy Noyes.
There is no gafnsaying her success with the
large assembly, and 1t was very well de-
served Mrs. Noyes certainly possesses a
lovely voice, and hers is musical nature.
Her voice is more. 1t is of striking di-
mensions in range and volume and her style
is to be generally commended for ease and
proper reserve power"
Today's Richmond Times says:
Mrs. Noyes, with her beautiful face,
charming personality and exquisitely
trained soprano voice. which, by the way,
is full of such deep, sweet notes that at
times one might imagine her tones were
those of a contralto, captured the audience
by her artistic rendering of Cavatina, from
"Ernani." She is truly an artist, although
her breadth of expression and range are
somewhat limited. She possesses in a high
degree that genuineness of expression that
is as captivating it is delightful"
