LECTURE BY DIR. KOBER.
The Achievements of Hygiene and
Preventive Medicines.

The Achievements of Hygiene and
Preventive Medicines.
DR.. George NJ Kober delivered an able adj
dress last evening before an audience of
medical men and those interested in sani
tary science at the Cos NOS Club lecture hall,
corner Fifteenth and H streets northwest.
The subject of the lecture was The Prog
ress and Achievements of Hygiene and Pre-
ventive Medicines
The speaker gave a short history of the
DEVELOPMENT of sanitary science and what
it has accomplishment preventing the spread
of diseases. He showed the necessity of
legislative enactments for the prevention
of diseases, and traced out the history of
such enactments back $500 years, when
the first law was passed compelling the use
of sewers.
He then gave a scientific talk on the use
of sewers, with Illustrations taken from
history. He showed how the death rate
was decreased by l. 90 per cent in every city
in Europe that adopted Il full system of
sewerage during the cholera plague Of
1880.
Another source from which the sanitary
con dition of people suffer is from the wide
use of patent medicines These medicines,
according to his figures, contain from L
to 40 ,079 different compounds, and instead
of curing often prove fatal TO those who
use them.
''If our Government" he continued
would adopt measures as other govern
ments, compelling the manufacturers of
these medicines to tell their ingredients, it
would lessen their sale and prove blessing
to the public
After the lecture was over DR.. Stetson,
Prof Ward, DR.. Flint, Dr.. Woodward, DR..
McGruder and Prof. MCGEE gave their views
on the subject.

issued for the following five men, accused
OF grand larceny alleged TO have been com
nnJ,ed while conducting the business OF the
f. 5. Dean Company, at No. 35 Broadway;

been instrumental in securing the prose
cution OF the accused that they had taken
full advantage of the opportunity offered
them, and had left the city
But this will not avail the accused, for
the police are determined TO appIehend
them. Evidence, it is claimed by the law
officers, has been secured which fastens
the responsibility for the frauds on the
men whose names have been mentioned.
The district attorney believes that the
charge of grand larceny can be sustained
against the accused
The action of the authorities has given
new impetus 10 the determination of the
governors of the Stock Exchange to eXpel
members who have had dealings with men
OF this class They held a meeting this
afternoon and considered the cases OF two
or three brokers who have been COncernei,

FIGHT OVER GAS WORKS SALE.
Negroes Hold the Balance of Power
in the Issue.

Richmond, Va, May 5.-The most inter-
estiug fight which has been known in Rich
mond politics for some time IS the question
OF selling the city gas works. The proposal
under consideration is that Of the Acety-
lene Gas Company, Of Philadelphia, Bal
timore, aud local capitalists. Those who
are opposing the scheme claim that the
Standard Oil Company is behind the move.
The Acetylene Gas Company offers ST.
0O0, 900 cash for the plant.
The charter provides that this property
cannot he disposed OF without submitting
the proposal to the voters at a regular city
election. This requirement promises to
develop a strange contest. The whites
are divided on the propriety of converting
the gas plant into cash. The negroes will
vote TO a man in favor of it, with the hope
of securing work with the new owners for
people of their own race. With consider
able division in the white vote the corpora
ton may win.
The city officials and other politicians are
opposed to surrcndering the plant, and
will keep up the struggle to the last.

Every effort made by counsel and friends
of Policeman Pierce to procure the $4,000
bail for him have proved futile. A number
of persons have been requested to go on his

Professional bondsmen have been APP
preached and offered good round surls,
but they, too. have declined to take any
chances.
Lawyers say the reason for these deClina-
