TIE crowd which greeted him and fairly

Fair does not lose its hold with those who
like hgmCr as il is hTeataed through the

Burgess as Abigail Prue was the same
clever actor as of yore. Especial mention
is due Miss Emma Pollock, who appeared
in the character of Taggs. All the others

no doctor can tell without meteorological
examination whether his patient has diph-
liberia or not, how is he going to notify
the board Of health?
Long before there were meteorological
analysis people had diphtheria and were
treated for it and cured. Improved meth
DDS of treatment, OF course, have done
much to decrease The rate OF mortality and
perhaps are entitled to fully as much credit
as is bacterioiogy. The point with which
the public is most concerned, though lis
that there should be a health ordinance
relating to contagious diseases stringent
enough TO deal with suspected cases. The
community should not be exposed to the
danger of infection pending any examina-
ton, bacteriolog ical, microscopieal or
other.
When doctors disagree, the old adage
says, the patient Is liable to suffer. In
order that the risk to the community may
be reduced to a minimum il might be adj
visable TO revise the ordinance in ques-
tion.

Although this breaking away from system
of bribe-giving precedent saved the public
nearly $4,000, both the Star and the Post
kept up such an uneeasing abuse of the
Commissioners for ignoring their claims
that they were again inuzzled with u secret
contract for the publications of the first
sections of the plat of the subdivisions
affected by the street extension act. To
remedy this defect in distributing our Dis
trict advertising and eeonoIBize many thou
sands of dollars annually to taxpayers, a
bill has been introduced in Congress proyitl-
ing that District official advertising shall
be let by proposal in the ordinary way.
This measure win unqucstionably meet
with disfayor at the District Building, in
asnuch as it deprives the Commissioners OF
power to muzzIe the press. But that fact
alone should recommend it TO Congress, if
the question of justice and economy in pub
Tic expenditures were not considered. With
the local press free To censurc the acts OF
District officials, when they really de-
served newspaper criticism, there would
not be so much whitewashing of Official
mistakes, nor would our local government
seem to be such a shining example OF of ficial
integrity.

T is amusing to observe the large num-
Der of people, who obtain the benefit of
knowledge dIffused by the Capitol guides
in Statuary Hall without being put to
the trouble, Inconvenience and expense of
having TO pay for it. Whenever a guide
places his party on the echo stones from
one 10 six outsiders will wheel into line
and reap the bene Fit of his sexemplification.
The same course is pursued when the
conductors are explaining any points in
connection with the various statues. Those
who are lettering around. or chance to
come along at that time, draw near ard
listen To all the details. In this way the

One of the most brilliant first night
audiences OF the season assembled at the
New National Thcatcr last night TO greet
Mr.. Charles Frobman'S splendid company
in sydney GEmdy's so-calied sex again st
SEX drama, ''Sowing the Wind Roth
play and company were at the National
a year ago, and the quality OF last nights :
audience. as well as its immense numerical
proportions, demonstrated that the very
Geep impression then made had not been
forgotten.
IT is by no means an easy task to do
Justice, critically, to sir. Grundy's play.
It's perfect construction and Development,
its strongly-1rawn and distin city -indiv dI-
allied characters, its genuine literary
quality, richly figurativc and full Of nCbie,
healthy seHtimeGt, all combine III a magnifi :
cent whole. Mr.. Grundy is a master OF
his art, and his technique is complete.
His touch is delicate, yet sure, and he has
the consunmate skill to suggest many
things to the mind which work uncon sciously
in parallel lines with his thought, and
deepen the general impression.
For instance We see Brabazon at the
opening OF the play suffering from gout.
Every step is agony to him, and what touch
could more surely indicate the anguish
in his mind at Iearnin z the Unjust ice he has
done than the showing how completely
obiivIous he is afterwards to the physical
pain he must be suffering. 1t is lost
| in the mental trial tie is enduring.
| Again. in drawing the character of Maud
| Fretweli, he gives us an unspoken problem
| and complete foil to the character of
Rosamond. In the latter we see the innate
| goodness of the character rising triumphant
| over an surroundings. In Maud FrctweH
| we see girl brought up lit the best society
protected from the world on all sides, but
| in whom native love for a somewhat
| opposite extreme is continually cropping
| out. The first is good i'll herself, and is
condemned FOR her birth: the second, in ilel
| place would have gone immediately To the
| deinnitien how-wows, but on account OF her
| birth, is considered an eligible parti.
| Nothing but praise caA I've given Mr.. j
| H. Gilnour. Miss Mary Hampton and Mr.
| Thomas Whiffen for their respective char
| acteriZattonS of BrabaZon. RoSamond ans
| Watkin. The Times commended their worh

HE pending attempt to rcorganize the
Senate offices calls attention to the
fact that rotation in official places
is each year becoming more marked.
In the good old days before the war, rot
withstanding the fact that party feeling
ran high, Ashury Dickens held the secrc-
taryship OF the Senate for more than forty
years. IIebecame fixture and was rccog-
nized authority on all questions of parlia-
rpcntary law and the preceden.s and rules
OF the Senate. and bis dicta In these re-
CARDS were simply law and gospel.
The candidacy of Col. George G. Gorham
recalls the fact that lie was one OF the most
efficient secretaries that the Senate has
ever had and his retirement after a serv-
ice OF several years was brought about
more through the influence OF Senators of
his own party rather than Democratic op-
position. He was an intense admircr of
Gen. Grant and followed the political for
tunes of Roscoe Conkling. The lcalousies
and antagonisms then existing between
rival candidates for the Presidency accom-
plished his downfall
An episode occurred. during Col. Cor
hams nennbeRcy of. the secfetarysfiip
ut the time. Senator Sumner had pressed
Gorham TO appoint protege of his as
Journal clerk OF the Senate. position
OF great responsibility, requiring intimate
knowledge f.uf 5itile rules and prccedents
of that body. and finally Mr.. Summers
friend was appointed under misgiyiug.
The affair turned out as Gorham had
anticipated. and the new man made ducks
and brakes Of things. SO that his dis
charge became a necessity Of the situa-
ton. When informed of this condition
Mr.. Sumner waxed very wroth and tn
sisted that his, man should be retained
II was nd small matter to cross a man
like Charles Simmer, who stood among
the foremost, in the ranks of Senatorial
cminenCe, but Gorham was equal to the
task. Finding that explanation and ex-
pcstalatton were in vain, Mr.. Gorham
said:
"Mr. Sumner, when you besought me TO
appoint your friend TO this responsible
place. I had 4 right to expect that you
would at least have given me a COM
patent person, for To Senator more than
yourself is as exacting on keeping the
Journal in correct shape. The Senate
journal with you is a matter of worship,
and yet you send me an incumbent wholly
unfit to fill the place and piliory me
when compelled TO supersede him by some
other and better qualified man. / am re-
sponsible for the absolute integrity of
the journal, and owing this duty TO the
Senate, | must displace your incompetent" /"

What Constitutes Family Medicines

A preparation which is adapted
to the relief and cure of ailments to
which members of a household are
most subject, and which is not only
alleged to do this, but has long and
unfailingly proved it's ability to do
1t, assuredly deserves the title OF a
reliable family medicine. Among
time-honOred preparations which
experience and the sanction of the
medical profession Indicate as de-
serving of popular regard and con-
fidence, is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, medicine adapted to the
eradication of dyspepsia, constipa-
tion and biliousness, the three most
frequently occurring ailments that
vex mankind. Derived from a
botanic parentape, it is efficient as
well as pure and wholesome. 1t re-
lieves nervous disquietude and mac
tivity of the kidneys, and counter
acts a tendency to rheumatism For
