SUBJECTS oFvIrAL IMPORTANCE
They Will Be Discussed by the Board of
Trade Tuesday Night

At the next meeting OF the board of trade.
to be held in Willard Hall Tuesday evening
next at 7:30 o'clock, several subjects of vital
importance to the District will be considered.
First among these will be the plan for the ex-
tension and development OF the sewer system
of the District and the ever-present question
of the best disposition to be made of the
sewage. The carrying out of the existing
plan Of streets and highways will also come
in for its share OF attention. Last. but not
least fmong the topics is the treatment
which the unimproved streets within the city
limits should receive; what should be done
toward curbing and grading them and pro-
yiiing them with proper facilities for water
and light.
On all these questions competent speakers
will address the board and there is no doubt
that much light will be thrown upon such
vexed problems with which tur city has
been wrestling for years and which demand
| solution more imperatively as time advances.
A good attendance OF the members is ex-
peeted. especially in view of the importance
! of the matters to be discussed.
The subject of the further establishment
! and development of manufacturing plants
and manufactures in the District has not been
forgotten. at the first meeting of the newly
appointed committee of the board on COM
merce and manufactures, held recently, the
broad field assigned to the committee was
carefully considered and steps taken to map
! out the work with a view TO giving the ques-
ton in the future that close attention which
its magnitude and its bearing on the inter-
ests and prosperity OF the District CLEARLY en-
! title it.
! Tho following letter is self-explanatory:
| MR.. 3. H. WARNER.
| president; of the Board of Trade Washing
| toI, d. G.
| DEAR S / am informed that q meeting of
| the boafti OF trade will be held in Willard
| Hall next Tuesday evening to consider the
| topics OF segess. street extension, and un-
! improved city streets, at which meeting ad-
| dresses are to be made by competent
| speakers.
| The labor organizations of the District are
as anxious as anybody for the development
and improvement of the city and its suburbs.
| They, are, however, strongly opposed to an
/ increase OF the bonded debt for that purpose,
| and If the board of trade would be willing to
hear the reasons for our opposition, l will
send representatives to the meeting who will
| state them.
Please let me know whether our participa-
ton in the discussion will be agreeable. An
early reply is desired in order that I may
/, give our representatives adequate notice
Very respectfully,

SMALLPOX IN FULL BLOOM.
John Ramsey. Colored Doy, Discoyere
with Wcll-deyeloped Case.

John Ramsey. a Colored Eoy, Discovered
with WcIl-deyeIoped Case.
A new case OF smallpox, which promises to
cause the health authorities some trouble, was
discovered last night. 1t was that of John
Ramsay, sixteen-year-old colored boy who
has been residing with his parents at No.
1927 Sixteenthssstreet northwest.
This case was reported TO the health office
by a man who resides in the same house, and
a quick investigation resulted in the discov-
cry. about IL o'clock last night, that Ramsey
had a well-developed case of smallpox. He
had not been attended by physician, but his
mother had been administering home RENE
dies for what she thought was a bad cold.
The boy had been attending the crowded
Magruder colored public school building on
NJ street. between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets northwest, and was at school as usual
on Friday mingiinS with the pupils. This
building is next to the Sumner School and q
spread of the disease is feared among the
colored school children. Both buildings viii
be thoroughly fumicated to-day.
1t was nearly midnight last night before the
boy was removed to the pest house. Ills
mother accompanied the boy and will remain
with her son during his illness.

Anen1 the Medical Bill.

EDITOR TIMES: The expediency OF hayi ng
laws for the regulation of the practice of
medicine recon men ds itself upon general
from medical Incompetency, an incompe-
tency TO be avoided above all other species Of
ignorance.
The bill now before Congress has in part
this end in view. 1t provides that every per-
son praciicing medicine in the District shall
have o diploma from 'some regular
school or college OF medicine Thus far it
is equitable to physicians and protectirely
lust to patients. But it goes too far when it
seeks to circumscribethe freedom Of the med
ical profession by its clauses to cut off with
out a shilling OF recognition every person
who has in the past or may in the future be
found guilty OF that dreadful crime described
in the bill as advertising" or '.dishonorable
conduct AS we understand it, ''dishonor-
able practice in accordance with the ethics
of the medical CODE is TO be applied CATO
nine-tal fashion 10 the physician who adver
tises.
similar bill, possessing similar feature,
was declared unconstitutional by the Illinois
supreme court. And why should it not be so
considered in the District OF Columbia? A
law declaring physicians dishonorable and
taking away their rights to practice the heal
ing art because they legitimately tell the pub
lie that they have something better than
somebody else is in direct opposition to our
constitution.
Ii physician discovers something that will
aid his felow-men he should have the right
TO say so just as freely as the man who manu-
features popular grade of cloth. His
Sigh. . sthosdd sa even more clearly defined for

Representatives will not have to look through
