SLOWLY DYING OUT
Diphtheria Is Losing Its FOOthOld in
Walkerville.
REMOVING THE QUARANTINE
The STANDARD" Has Given the
Facts In Regard to the Disease
Children See Better Times
Coming Clean Streets.

Diphtheria is losing its grip in Walk
erville and the indications are that
within few days the residents of the
city on the hill will be able to exchange
social visits with their usual freedom.
The children who have been closely
confined to their respective homes since
the disease became epidemic are over
Joyed at the prospect of again tearing
around the streets and there is a more
hopeful feeling all over the little city
than has existed for some time.
The quarantine was removed from
five houses yesterday and from two the
day before, and there are now only four
houses which are under guard, with
one case in each house. Three of the
afflicted families are Italians. and the
other one is that of John Drilland.
Mayor Wellington and ex-Mayor Ell
liott, who went out of office a few days
ago. were seen by a Standard reporter
yesterday afternoon and both express
ed the utmost satisfaction at the man.
ner in which the disease s being stamp
ed out They reported that the city is
being cleaned up as rapidly as possible,
and both expressed the opinion that the
sanitary condition of Walkerville is
much better than that of Butte. Walk
erville is cleaned up every spring and
while there are several places which
need cleaning up very badly just now,
IL is impossible, the mayor says, to
clean them up until the weather inn
proves.
Some of the citizens of walkerville
have complained that the Standard ex-
aggerated the facts in regard to the
number of cases of diphtheria, but Mr..
Elliott, who was mayor of the town
when the disease was at its height, and
who has been looking after IL closely
since he went out of office, stated yes
terday afternoon that there were no
grounds for these complaints. He said
that, If anything, the Standard had
given the number of cases less than
really existed. At one time, when the
Standard said there were 20 cases, he
knew of II cases in two families alone,
and there were fully eight cases more
in other families. 1t is Mr.. Elliott's
expressed opinion that the articles
which were published in the Standard
in regard to diphtheria in Walkerville
served to warn the people of the danger
that existed, and thus assisted in
stamping out the disease.

One slight Attack of Lockjsw shut on

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Miss Brown OF 81 Diversey street, threw
back her head and opened her mouth
wide in a hearty laugh. When she tried
| to regain her normal cast of countenance
she was unable to close her jaws. ply
sician had to be sent for to end the
laugh by readjusting the lady's jaws.
She attended a party Saturday evening.
and when she started home several of
her friends accompanied her. One of the
number told a funny story he said he had
read somewhere. 1t was the report of a
conversation overheard in a police court,
and ran:
oficer-what are you charged with.
young man?
Prisoner-S-s-s-s-s-
Judge Qmpatiently)-Officer. what is
this man charged with?
Ohcer-Oi tink, your honor, he is
charged with soda water.
Everybody laughed heartily, but Miss
Brown worked overtime.
Her merry "Ha. hal" turned into a
scream. Her mouth was wide open, and 1t
stayed that way. The merry-makers were
in a panic. 1t looked as though Miss
Brown was being tickled to death. One of
the young men attempted to force the re-
fractory jaws together but was stopped
by the warning:
Danny. Danny. you'll break her face"
A doctor was called when the amateur
efforts failed. He diagnosed the case by
telling the young lady the laugh was on
her. In the excess of mirth the lower jaw
had become dislocated. This was easily
righted by the doctor without recourse to
laughing gas or anything other than
dexterous twist of the wrist. Miss
Brown went on her way rejoicing. but
not laughing. All the way to her home
the funny young man who had caused the
disturbance told other stories he had read.
Everybody, in fact, tried to cheer up
Miss Brown. But she never smiled and IL
was with jaws tightly held together that
she said good night to her friends
through her closed teeth.

Thc Copper Market.

From Engineering and Mining Journal.
The better feeling which we reported
last week has made further progress and
decidedly better inquiry has been no.
ticeable, both for home and export trade.
A considerable business might have been
done If producers had shown the same
willingness to meet the market but that
has so far not been the case. 1t has
transpired that some lake ingot copper
for immediate delivery has been sold at
1o%c. but at this price no large quanti-
ties are obtainable and the larger compa-
nies still hold firmly at lie, which price
has been realized for distant delivery.
Electrolytic copper is still somewhat ir-
regular, cakes, wirebars and ingots being
quoted 10ssc and cathodes 10sc, while
casting copper is lifeless at 10c.
Exports continue to be heavy and the
different refiners report that they can not
turn out the copper fast enough. A large
business has again been done in London
with speculative sorts, which are again
somewhat higher and close e45 rs 6dQ

good demand for fine copper and we
quote: English tough, e49a $40 IS; best
selected. f50@ ESQ 5s; strong sheets, e56q
and India sheets e53: yellow metal 4ssd.
Rumors have again been current to the
effect that the option given to the Explo-
ration company in London for the second
quarter of Anaconda shares has been ex-
ercised but authoritatively IL has been
denied The prevailing idea is that the
negotiation is based on s35 or 81 per
share.

Neglected AnacOstia.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The return, with an adverse report of
Senate bill 2472, requiring the Anacostia and
Potomac railroad to improve it's facilities
for passenger carrying, while dscouraging
was not unexpected to Anacostians who had
watched closely the tender consideration
given Mr.. Griswold by the Commissioners
in according him private hearings whereby
it was impossible to meet with facts his
fancied reasons for not dispensing with his
bob-tail, one-horse, no-conductor abomina-
tons. W. B. Noses & Sons are quoted in
last nights Star as favoring modern service
and say: From what Mr.. Griswold SAYS, he
is ready to adopt such system as will give
the improvement and much needed service"
Mr. Griswold tells the Commissioners that
che is unable to do any better than run
one-horse bob-tail cars" The present pros
poets for those who have invested their
all in homes in Anacostia are gloomy enough
without having that condition made worse
as 1t is by the action of the Commissioners
in fastening Indefinitely upon the citizens of
Anacostia a railway service that is a dis
grace to the capital Of the nation and a re-
Election upon those sustaining it. Ana
costa has many needs, but the one most
seriously felt at this time is that of influ-
ence. a judge or two, supplemented by a
few Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, would doubtless Mount Pleasantize
and make Anacostia a close second to Chevy
Chase and lexington.

God iR the Constitution.


40 the fCltor OF Inc Evening Star:
Several days ago / noticed in The Star
that the old question of God in the Com
stitution" is again before Congress, and
that the committee on the judiciary of the
House is hearing arguments for and
against The recognition of God in the Con-
stitution. But why all this pother on the
subject, which has been kept up ever since
the foundation Of the government? To my
mind God is recognized in the Constitu-
ton in as plain language as can ever be
devised by man. When that instrument
was closed with the solemn declaration
Done in convention by the unanimous
consent of the states present the 18th day
of September, in the year of our Lord I7SI,'
every man who affixed his signature to il
made of this a Christian nation and in the
act of doing SO bowed his head in recogni-
ton of Him who is the God of nations and
The arbiter of our destiny What moro
could We ask FOR? What statement of faith
could the trainers of the Constitution have
made that would not be open to objection
in some quarter? They wisely divorced
church and state, by ignoring the former
in their plan of government; but when
they came TO close their lahors and accent
as whole, by colemn act of signature,
what had been day by day agreed upon
after heated discussion, they as their last
act, turned their thoughts, i'm all humility
OF spirit. to Him who is the ruler of the
universe, and wound up the Instrument
which was to give birth to the grandest
nation Gods sun ever shone upon with a
recognition of Him who is the Light of the
World and the Morning Star of the Chris
tian's faith and hope. The declaration,
Done i'm the year of our Lord,
49," stamps their creation as a piece of
Christian workmanship.
There is but one God, and that God must
be the Lord, who was God incarnated-t;od
exhibited i'm the flesh. This God the Com
stitution undoubtedly recognizes for The
Constitution as a whole extends from the
opening word to the closing signature

NAVAL OFFICERS, PUNISHMENT.
Order to Secure Greater Uniformity
In Case of Conviction.

Order to Secure Greater Uniformity
in Case of Conviction.
The Secretary of the Navy has issued an
order intended to secure greater uniformity
in the punishment of officers convicted of
offenses against the naval regulations not
serious enough to warrant dismissal.
1t has been found that the punishment has
been very unequal in the case Of officers
convicted Of similar offenses, especially
where the sentence involves suspension
from rank and duty and the retention of
the grade number.
Promotion in the navy is, from natural
causes and by reason of casualties, more
rapid at some times than at others, and an
officer sentenced to lose numbers during
specified periods may suffer a very light
punishment in consequence Of the fact that
but few vacancies occur during that period,
while other officers upon whom like SEN
tence has been imposed at time when a
larger number of vacancies occur may lose
many numbers. It may even happen that
officer sentenced to loss of numbers dur
ing short period really suffers a more
severe punishment than another convicted
of a graver ofense and whose sentence
covers longer period.
In order to prevent such accidental in
equality in punishment the department sug-
gests that courts-martial, In the ease of an
officer found guilty of an offense for which
greater punishment is not deemed neces-
sary, should instead of suspension, SEN
tence him to be reduced to a certain number
of files, or to retain his present number in
his grade until he shall have lost certain
number of files therein. This method, If
adopted. will have the further advantage
the Secretary believes, of avoiding the evils
arising from sentences of suspension from
duty, under which an officer, while receiv-
ing more or less pay, performs no service
and Is cut off from the active participation
in the duties Of his profession. 1t is, Of
course, says the order, to be remembered
that courts. while they may reduce an off,
Ger in his grade, have no power to place him
in a lower grade.
