TO two glasses of ice water. Secrer
tary Window killed himself by
drinking ice water ut the close of
his speech before the Chamber of
Commerce. No person when heated
should swallow ice water until the
heat of his mouth has taken the
chill from the water.
Some years ago the opinions of
about thirty physicians were given.
A little less than half said the use
OF ice water by persons who are
heated is dangerous ; the other half
said it is not so-a fair statement of
the diversity among physicians col
lected in that way. Bnt that any
person who understands physiology,
especially the relation of The sympa-
thetic system to the brain, and
through tito the lungs and heart,
can believe that pouring water at d
temperature of a little above thirty
two degrees into the stomach, the
normal temperature of which is
nearly ane hundred, can be other

milk, which, whether used excessive
ly hot or excessively cold, produces a

knowledge has much less influence
upon opinion and practice than is
generally supposed.

ice cream, taken slowly and in mod

"FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.'-
When the steamer Birkenhead with
a regiment of soldiers OIL board,
struck upon u rock on the coast of
Africa, it was thought from the mo-
ment of the first rasp and shock that
1T could not keep together many
minutes, and orders were given to fit
the emergency. The roll of the
drum called the soldiers to arms on
The upper deck, 1t was promptly

that it was his death summons.
There they stood, drawn up as in
battle array, looking on while boats
were got out, firstfor the women and
children, next for the other passen-
gers-no boats left for them! There
they stood, firm and calm, waiting a
watery grave. . f. The boats
pulled off in safety, but on that
solemn deck the soldiers still kept
their ranks motionless and silent.
Then down went the ship, and down
with it went the heroes, shoulder to
shoulder, firing a parting volley, and
then sinking beneath the remorse-

diers doing their Kings commands,

GENERAL SMITH DEAD
Pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church
Passes Away.
HIS Long and Distinguished Career
Closed-Arrangemeh for
the Funeral.

Gen. Green Clay Smith, pastor Of the
Metropolitan Baptist Church. died at about
1 o'clock this afternoon, at his residence,
611 Massachusetts avenue northeast, after
a painful Illness of over a month. He was
very low, indeed, the first Of the week, 6nd
his death was hourly expected. but when
at the point Of death he rallied. and for
two or three days he seemed to be gaining
ground. But the carbuncle that was the
his system and recovery was impossible. He
developed wonderful vital force, and re-
sisted the disease with surprising vigor.
He had been unconscious for many hours
before his death, and early this morning
those around him realized that the end was
near. When 1oath came Mrs. Smith was
at the bedside, with her threa children.
The generals brother arrived from Ken
lucky few days ago, and has been with
him constantly ever since.
The funeral will occur Monday, and will
be in charge of the Masonic order, of which
Veterans Unicn of the District. of which
organization he was recently commander,
will probably participate in the ceremonies.
The interment will be at Arlington.
Gen. Smith would have been siXty-eight
years old had he lived until next Tuesday.
By curious error his birth is noted in the
biographical cyclopaedia as having occurred
In 1882 instead of 1S2T. His brother noted
the error in the extended notice of Gen.
Smiths career that was printed in The
Star several days ago.
All OF Gen. Smiths children survive him

COINS FOR CHINA TRADE.
Rep, sentative DOOlittlc VIII Try to
Secure Their Manufacture.

TACOMA, Wash. June 29.-Representa-
tive w. II. Doolittle left today for Wash
ington, D. c.. to spend the summer there
transacting business of Importance to the
state. AS result of his recent oriental
trip he will work to secure the enactment
next winter of measures providing for the
coming of chop dollars for use in the
transaction Of business in the orient-in
Japan and China especially. Mr.. Doolittle
says:
Great Britain has long been coming
these dollars, placing the Japanese chop
or characters representing the silver in
the piece on the ore side and the British
stamp the other. This currency has
been of great service to British merchants
transactins business In China and Japan,
and hence to the British nation at large.
Our trade dollars might have served the
same purpose. but lacking the Japanese
chop or character indicating value. the
Chinese and Japanese did not understand
them and would not use them. The meas
ure / think Congress will enact will pro-
vide for the coinage of these dollars with
the eagle on one side and the Japanese
chop on the other. The piece will be re-
deemable In gold and will contain about the
same amount of silver as the American
dollar. 1t Will purchase in Japan about
double the amount a gold dollar will pur-
chase in this country.

torney to proceed at once and file an an
swer. Attorney Thomas stated to a re-
porter Of The Star this afternoon that the
reply of the District would be ready some
time next week
He would hold In his answer that the
railroad company was maintaining a line
OF poles, distractions to the street, with
out warrant of law, and that it was no
argument for it to say that 1t was pre-
vented by Congress from issuing bonds so
that the motive power could be changed
and the poles removed. The company had
had ample time to change it's motive power
and remove the poles, and he thought the
District would win and the poles be re-
moved.
1t Is understood that the railroad COM
pany, if the suit is decided against it, will
at once enter an appeal, which, If granted
will act as a stay of execution on the part
of the Commissioners until the appeal is
heard by the Court Of Appeals, which
meets the first Tuesday in October. There
Is full docket of cases to be heard by
this court, and every effort will be used
by the railroad company to get a post
ponement Of the case until Congress meets
when 1t hopes to obtain relief by legisla-
ton.

w A NTS MORE TIME
The Contractor for Steel Work on the New
Post Office.
An Al Eumcnt Declined by the Archi-
tects Office The Contractors'
Claims and the Official Action.

Mr.. Thorpe of the New York firm Of
Thorpe & Bond, contrs ctors for steel and
iron work on the local post office building,
Is not disposed to submit tamely to the
peremptory withdrawal of the work from
their hands. AS stated in yesterdays Star,
Supervising Architect Aiken has served the
firm with formal notice that the govern
ment proposed to take the work out Of their
hands and finish it under government su-
pervision al their expense, for the reason
that they have failed to comply with the
terms Of their contract in the important
matter of time, and are apparently unable
to meet the plainly stated requirements Of
the agreement.
Mr.. Thorpe Comes to Investigate.
Mr.. Thorpe has come to the city to inves-
tigate the matter and to secure, If pos
sible, an extension Of time. He called at
the Treasury Department today and sought
an interview with the architect. He was
referred to Executive officer kemper as
the officer In charge Of the matter.
How Mr.. Kemper Feels.
Mr.. Kemper was acting architect at the
time the contract was entered into with
Thorpe & Bond last winter, and he natur-
ally feels a personal responsibility for the
satisfactory execution of the work. He told
Star reporter today that he took Unusual
care and precaution in the award of this
contract and only gave it to Thorpe &
Bond after the submission OF the best kind
of evidence that 1t was responsible firm
and thoroughly competent to carry out it's
agreement in this matter. He said he took
more pains with this case than with any
other he had acted on. and is naturally
annoyed and disappointed at the way
things have turned out.
He added that he has taken a special in
terest in the completion of the WaShingto ton
post office within the limit fixed by the
contract, and has exhausted all his re-
the part of the contractors for the iron
structure, especially their delinquency
was delaying the stone and brick work
and upsetting things generally.
Declined an Extension of Time,
Mr.. Thorpe wanted to make an argument
to Mr.. Kemper today in favor of an ex-
tension of time for the completion of his
contract on the general ground that he had
been the victim of circumstances over
which he had no control. Mr.. Kemper de-
clined to hear him, saying that the action
of the department was based on the official
correspondence and was final SO far as he
was concerned.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Thorpe claims
that he has been sacrificed. According to
his friends he is not an iron man, and that
a combination of iron men was formed to
break him up The officials of the archi-
tect's office say that they know nothing
about such combination. Mr. kemper
said that while Thorpe & Bond are not
Iron manufacturers, they are in the bus-
ness OF furnishing structural irOn and have
done considerable work of that kind.

THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.
Silver VIII Not Re Rramiuenf.

Silver VIII Not BE Prominent.
Senator-elect Burrows of Michigan has
been in the city during the past few days.
stoppir at Red Top, the Presidents old
home. Mr.. Burrows was a delegate to the
meeting of republican league clubs at
Cleveland, and came here directly after
leaving that city. He will leave today for
Asbury Park. accompanied by Ills wife and
daughter, for stay of two weeks
Mr.. Burrows Is feeling very confident
over the outlook for the republican party,
unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 will
not play so important part in the party's
councils as has been expected by promi-
nent western silverites.
What sentiment there has been in Mich
igGn in the republican party in favor of
free coinage of silver at 1G to L. said Mr.
Burrows today to a Star reporter, "is grow
ing less, and I feel confident that our state
will send q delegation to the national con-
vention against free coinage. With an i'm
provement in the times, less and less prom
fnence will be given to the free silver ques-
ton. and l think by the time the conven-
ton meets 1t will have little prominence.
The republican party will be as greatly in
1t will not. in my opinion countenance the
Views of the extreme silver men, 1t will
favor using much silver in our currency
as can be used without causing a deprecia-
ton of the currency
AT the Cleveland meeting there was con-
siderable interest felt in the tariff question,
and 1t Sc ams likely that by the time the
national convention meets that subject Will
be very prominently before the people,
