For the Eye of the Health officer.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 noticed in The Star a few evenings since
that inspectors have been going the rounds
of the city, making notes of vacant lots
abutting on paved sidewalks, with view
of prosecuting the owners thereof in case
earth was allowed to accumulate thereon
Permit me the use>of your valuable sheet
to say that the vacant ground in square
$40, between NJ street northwest and Pierce
street, has been made a common dumping
ground for some time past, for all kinds Of
trash such as ashes, dirt, brick, old tin
ware, Stops, garbage, rags, paper, straw,
bedding, refuse from cellars, etc, and the
thing promises to be menace to the pub
lie health as the hot weather approaches.
The peculiar location of this ground, shut
in as it is by large houses on NJ street and
a row on Pierce street, out of the view of
psssers by, affords fine harbor for refuse
collectors; and, under cover of the night,
and often during broad daylight, the dump
ing goes on serenely and uninterruptedly,
until the place has become very unsightly
and nosome. I have written to the owner
of the place. begging him to fence it or put
up a sign, mo dumping here" and have
" ritten to the health officer and the Com
sioners about it, but all to no purpose. The
dumping goes on, the filth is accommodating
and the health of the neighborhood is be-
day. and there, where the smallpox occur
red last winter. this summer will perhaps
see the prevalence of cholera, typhoid
fever, dipththeria, etc, etc. Cannot some
thing be done to abate this nuisance?

The cost of the expedition will be about
$1,000, of which about 5000 has now been
raised by donations and by the proceeds
of lecture given recently by Mrs. Peary

Her lecture is based upon her own exper-
fences in the north, where she spent two
winters with her husband. 1t will be il
Illustrated by upwards of eighty slides, show
ing specimens of Greenland scenery, views
of arctic life, and portraits of the inhabi-
tants of that frozen region. Some of the
slides have been beautifully colored. One
of the most attractive features of the lee
ture is the exhibition of several pretty
portraits of the little daughter of MIR. and
Mrs. Peary, who enjoys the distinction of
having been born higher north than any
other white child known to history. Mrs.
Peary's home at present is in this city
with her parents.

generally accepted sense, relief trip for
Lieut.. Peary is not in any immediate dan
ger. He will make his tour along the
northern border of the island during the
coming summer. and Will then have COM
pleted all that it is possible for him to do
on the present trip. 1t is estimated that he
will then have ample supplies to last him
through another winter, and there is no
doubt that he can secure a safe refuge a.
his old headquarters, which he is expected
to reach about the time that the EEaler
arrives. The object of the expedition is to
bring him back upon the completion Of
this years labors. so that he will not be
obliged to waste another season there with
out being able to accomplish any further
researches.
Tickets to this lecture can be obtained
from the secretary Of the Geographic Sc
ciety, Mr.. Everett Hayden, at 151o II street
northwest, or at Metzerotts.

Academy of Forty.

The monthly session of the Academy OF
Forty was held Monday evening in the
pleasant parlors of Wimodaughsis. The
first business of the evening was the cleo
ton of permanent officers, as follows:
Magister, Mrs. Ruth G. D. Ravens; vice
magister, Miss Mary H. Williams; scribe.
Mrs. Mary E. Boarman; correspondent,
Miss Edna NJ Slater; repositor Miss NJ.
Catherine Garst; board of censors, Mrs
Sara A. Spencer, Miss Sarah N. Huddleson
and Miss Belle c. Morris.
The conversation of the evening was upon
Charity" with Miss Morris as director.
She urged that the subject should be kept
upon its higher plane of love and sympa thy,
but in the two hours which followed every
phase of its meaning was touched upon,
suggestively rather than exhausuvely,
from the greatest thing in the world !"
down to mere almsgiving. Mrs. Spencer
spoke more with reference to her official ex-
perience with public charities and thought
the best hope was in bringing the little
ones to loathe the dependence and helpless
ness which had been their birthright and
environment.
Mrs. Goodwin, Mrs. Rohrer. Mrs. Bennett
and Mrs. Shipp spoke from the higher level
of human sympathy and the love which
"eudureth all things"
The conversation was ably sustained. the
language well chosen and every sentiment
expressed was a credit to the thinking
women who have adopted this means for
improvement and spiritual uplift.
Mrs. Ship selected Economy as the
theme for the next session, and was made
director for June. AS the regular evening
collide with the Wimodaughsis excursion,
of which the academists desire to be part,
it is probable that another date will be an
nounced for the fifth session.
