Alleged NOn-Reducible Garbage.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Before the Commissioners accept re
duction system of garbage disposition, l
should like to have them ask the contrac-
tor, health officer or some competent person
what it is proposed to do with potato par
ings corn husks, egg shells. coffee grounds,
ETC., which form such large proportion OF
our garbage.
They must, or at least should, know that
various elements found in our garbage col
lections cannot be reduced" but must be
disposed of by other processes, and unless
this fact is fully understood and some pro-
vision made for the disposal of the non-re-
ducible ingredients. we will have utter fail
ure AS pointed out in previous letter.
the animal matters are easily reducible,
but vegetable matters alone or mixed with
other matters cannot be reduced satisfac-
torily, If at all.
Let the Commissioners insist upon full
explanation from the health officer of the
manner in which this class Of garbage was
treated in the reduction plants visited and
approved by him. If there Is any ''reduc-
ton" plant that will successfully reduce wa
termeon rinds corn husks, egg shells and
like matters, the public should be fully &C
quainted with it's details at once.

Pulpfts Yesterday.
At the Gurley Memorial Church yester-
day a sermon was delivered by Rev. DR..
GARRISON B. Gillette Of Illinois.
Rev. Adolos Allen. co-pastor Of the First
Presbyterian Church, occupied his pulpit
yesterday for the first time since his re-
turn from a vacation abroad.
A native Chinese, Rev. Tsoong, or, as he
is called by his American name. Charles
Bell. gave an interesting talk on China
and the Chinese at the Mt. Vernon M. E.
Church yesterday. Mr.. Tsoong is studying
In theological school in Georgia, and ex-
poets 10 return to China and engage in
evangelistic work there as soon as his
course is completed.
At the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church
yesterday Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins occu-
pied the pulpit in the absence of the pas
tor, Rev. Dr. Brooks. In the course of his
morning sermon Mr.. LamkinS referred 10
the unfortunate shooting of Ernest Green,
saying that it would be less than human If
the community failed to sympathiZe with
Gen. and Mrs. Flagler in the trouble that
has come to them because of their daugE-
ter's act, as we'll as feel an inexpressible
sorrow for the parents of the dead boy.
Two things, said he, were made plain by
the occurrence: first, that we are far re-
moved from the time when Chief Justice
fancy declared that the negro had no
rights the white man was bound to respect,
and secondly, the difference in public
sentiment in this case from that over the
killing of Reuben Foster emphasizes the
difference between good and bad reputa-
tion i'll the community.

Mr.. JeffersOn's Letter of Credit.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
/ read with interest in your issue Of the
7tb an account of the famous letter of
credit which President Jefferson gave Capt
Meriwether Lewis in 1905. The letter you
print is perfectly authentic. and substan-
TALLY correct; but the writer of the article
is singularly mistaken in stating that but
for the Lewis and Clark exploration the
Louisiana purchase might not have been
Uiade'-the fact being that the purchase
had been made and the country handed
over to us before Lewis and Clark started
IN their expedition, May IA, 1904
With regard to the originality Of that
copy Of the letter Of credit which seems to
have turned up at Helena, Mont, it may
be said, simply, that several different copies
exist, in Jefferson's handwriting. There
are two such now in the bureau of rolls
and library of the State Department at
Washington, both of which I have ex-
amined. One of these Is a rough draft.
with interlineations and erasures: the 9TH
er Is the fair copy, which l printed YER
batim ct literatim in my recent edition Of
Lewis and Clark. Another copy whether
in Jeffersons handwriting or not 1 do not
know has long been in st. Louis. in the
possession of Jefferson X. Clark, the only
surviving son of the great explorer 1t
would be very easy to say, on inspection of
the Helena copy, or CT the photograph Of
it. whether ii is a Jefferson writing, or
