". w. MilIan.

The elevation of Mr.. MILAN to this high
and exalted position is a recognition of
merit. and tends to demonstrate the fact
that the great fraternities are advancing
their young and brainy men to first places.
Mr.. MILAN was born to that honest yeo-
manry known as farmers. in Virginia.
When less than seventeen he became a
pedagogue, and continued in that occupa-
ton, with great success for one of his
years, applying his physical strength and
mental energies to products of the farm
during the summer months Later and
while yet in his minority, he spent Two
years in the State Normal College of Nash
vile, Tenn.
In 1854 he was made principal of the pub
lie schools in one of the large cities of his
adopted state. filling the position to the en-
tire satisfaction of the public and at good
financial benefit to himself Having de-
termined to make law his profession, he
took up his residence here, and graduated
from the University Law School in 1889,
with abilities that were at the time pub
licly referred to.
He is one of the youngest men that was
ever elected to the position of u. o. G. NJ.
in this jurisdiction, and when it is remem-
bered that he was advanced two places.
and without a dissenting vote. it speaks
for itself as to the moral and mental quail

For the Health Officers E

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
think that a thorough inspection should
be made of the domain bounded by Whit
rey avenue and Florida avenue, 7th and
9th northwest, with view to abating in
some measure the insanitary conditions
which now exist.
In walking recently from 9th street on
Whitney avenue to 7th and down 7th street
to Florida avenue. / many places
whore the yards were covered with Slmy
green water. and side lots with vari DIS
filthy deposits.
Without enlarging this subject,
must say that dise;.s breeding germs have
it all their own way in this region, and the
population. which is large in this section,
is in danger of some epidemic which
may sooner or later break out result.
l certainly think the attention of the
board of health or the Commissioners
should be called to this matter.

A Constitutional Question.

The Brightwood railway and the Ana
costa and Potomac Railroad Company
respectively, have filed suits in the Su-
preme Court of the District to restrain the
District of Columbia and the collector of
taxes from imposing a tax of four per
cent upon the earnings Of the Brightwood

Potomac company. The act of Congress
imposing the tax Is alleged to be uncon-
sItutional, and 1t is set forth that other
railroads in the District are not so taxed
A tax of four per cent upon its income is
equivalent to an income tax, it is further
stated, and the income tax has been pro.

Appeal Made for RestOrat tiOn to Office
Under Civil Service.


A petition in equity was filed in the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia
late yesterday afternoon by James Selden
Cowdon, asking that order be issued
to the proper officer of the Department of
the Interior to appear before the court and
show cause why he should not restore Mr..
Cowdon to position formerly held by
him in the bureau of pensions. In his pc
tition Mr.. Cowdon states that he was
threatened with dismissal from the pension
bureau by the commissioner of pensions,
and was subsequently dismissed from that
office. Having been unable to secure
restoration to the position, which, he says,
he won by merit in October. 1856, under
the civil service act, and from which he
has been alienated without demerit on his
part, he, therefore, filed the petition.
Mr.. Cowdon submitted with the paper
extracts from the civil service law of jan
uary IL, 1883, which form the basis of his
contention.
