BETTER GARBAGE SERVICE,
Commissioners Considering What They
Shall DO to Secure 1t.

Congress having appropriated the
amount required for an improved garbage
service, it is fair TO presume that at least
with the beginning of the next fiscal year
there will be a new system in operation.
The general subject was under considera-
tion at the meeting of the board of Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon. Health Of
ficer Woodward participating. 1t is un-
derstood that in the early future sealed
proposals will be solicited for the estab-
lishment Of a crematory or an improved
reduction process in the District. though
the matter was not discussed to a conclu
sion, as there are various details to be de-
Dated in connection with il.
The sum of $40. 600, which was pro-
yided for the disposal of garbage, is left to
beexpended as the Commissionersmay Y deter
mine. III, upon examination of the several
plans, tho recent suggestion of Health
Officer Woodward shall prove to be the
correct theory, then there will be no crema-
tory, but reduction process instead, that
will admit of "a utilization OF the product
as fertilizer but the entire field of ex-
ploration and discovery is open to the board
and they will take plenty of time in their
investigation, to be sure of securing the
best system.
The appropriation of $40, ,OGO for collec-
ton and removal of garbage, it is believed,
win be ample for the service, and the Com
sioners are empowered to enter into con-
tract for term of five years. Meanwhile
there is in existence contract which does
not expire untir 1897, which will have to
be annulled prior to the execution of new
one.
The present contractor, Mr.. Warfield,
who succeeded the National Sanitary Com
pany, is prospective bidder upon the new
system, and it is believed there viii be no
trouble in reaching a mutual agreement,
since the last appropriation bill, by making
provision for more extensive plan, in
effect LETT the Commissioners without money
TO carry out the present contract, and it is
not probable that in any event Mr.. Warfield
win insist upon his present terms, the enter
prise having evidently proved to be un.

FOUNDER OF SOCIOLOGY.
Interesting Lecture on Augnste Comte
by Prof Ward.

The lecture OF Vice President Lester F.
Ward, of the National AnthropoIogicaI
Society, in the lecture hall OF the National
Museum yesterday afternoon, was on
'Auguste Comte, the founder of sociology"
Prof. Ward said that mems actions
depended upon their opinions, and that
ideas prevail Comte borrowed from Sc.
Simon the words, Positive philosophy"
A thought once uttered becomes public
property. Comte eo-operated with Sc.
Simon in his writings, but he did not make
this known because st. Simon was such a
radical socialist.
The positive philosophy" is now always
associated with the name of COmte, its
founder. In 1926 he had drawn up a
course OF seyenty-two lectures on this
subject. In his audience was Alexander
Won Humboldt This course strained his
mental faculties to their utmost tension.
After delivering three or four lectures he
was seized with a fit OF insanity. He was
placed in a private insane asylum. His
parents thought it was judgment of God
because of his anti-religious views.
His latest works are said to give indi-
cations of a diseased mind. 1t may be
answered that the best refutation of this
fgnoble assertion is TO examine his works.
AS George Henry Lewes said, IF such were
madness, 1t is to be hoped that there might
be an epidemic of madness"
In his later works Comte used sociology
as a substitute for social physics. John
Stuart Mill evolved complete science, but
had no name for it. In a nascent science
there is everything in a name, and the
name sociology was of great value.
Conlte aspired to found and TO elaborate
a social science. In 1912 he published a
work which is a grand summing up OF social
philosophy.
Comte classified the sciences. If he had
done nothing else that would have stamped
him as one of the greatest thinkers OF his
age. No one ever has questioned his classi-
fication except Herbert Spencer. Mr.. Spen-
Ger sought TO beiittle the positive philos-
ophy by questioning its originality.
No one before Comte had a glimpse OF
positive philosophy. This is novel as
philosophy, not as collection OF existing
thoughts.
A large audience was present, and there
was much interest shown in Prof. Wards
able and instructive discourse.

PUT THEMSELVES AsuNDER.
J. \. b. Hewett and His Wife Agnes Haye
Agreed to Separate.

An agreement, which separates man
and wife, was filed in the recorders office
here yesterday. The parties are j. n, B.
Hewett, clerk in the Bureau of Ethnology,
and his wife, Agnes. The writing, which
is dated October Is, 1894, states that
irreconcilable disputes and differences
have sprung up between the two, and both
consider it best for their mutual good that
the bond OF marriage between them be
broken
Mr.. Hewett agrees to pay her $40 month
beginning November L, 1894, for the sup
port of herself and their son, David Norton
Hewitt, eleven years old, and to furnish
the boy in addition clothing suited to his
age and station in life.
Mrs Hewett agrees to see TO the proper
education of their son as long as his
father allows him to remain with her. 1t
is agreed that he shall see the boy as often
as he chooses and enjoy his society as
prudence and affection may suggest.
They agree further that they shall see
each other socially whenever they are so
inclined and may resume their marital
relations at VIII. In that case the agree
nlent is annulled.

HAD A JAG AND A ROLL.

William White Found Drunk with S216
in His Inside Pocket.
William White was found last night drunk
by policeman OF the First precinct. He was
taken to the station, where the officers no.
ticed suspicious looking bulge in his coat.
One OF them reached into Whites pocket
and drew forth bundle OF bills, the size of
which made the eyes of an old colored man
in the room stand out in astonishment as he
exclaimed: 'Lord massa."
When counted it was found that the roll
contained PIG one-dollar bills. Twenty-Five
cents in change was also found in his pockets.
White is a shoemaker by trade, and does
not look to be over seventeen years old. He
will be held, and the officers will make an
effort to ascertain how he came into posses
sion OF so large sum.

REPUBLICAN POLICY REVERSED
Representative Henderson's Arraignment
of the Fifty.third Congress.

Representative Henderson's Arraignment
of the Fifty.third Congress.
Representative Henderson, of Iowa, the
ranking Republican member OF the House
Committee on Appropriations, has made a
statement showing the total appropriations
OF the last Congress to be $f,019,01S.05, in
cluding authorized contracts, interest on sale
of bonds, and assur ed deficiency, an excess,
he claims, over the billion-dolar Congress.
He admits a decrease of $40, ,905, $50 in
pensions, and that this was made possible
by an oppressive system carried on by this
administration, which has brought reign
of terror into the ranks of the crippled
soldiers of the Union, their widows, and
children" ~
A Democratic Senate increased the House
bills SIS, 1864; and both Houses have
increased the Naxy1 900 enlisted men and
added 313 officers and employees to carry out
the intended revenue provision of the Wilson
tariff law.
In all this, he asserts, the last Congress
reversed the policy of the Republican party.
