PLUMBING IN THE DISTRICT.
Suggestions Contained in Inspector
Balls Annual Report.

The annual report OF Pluming Inspector
Ball, submitted to the Commissioners yes
terday, calls attention to some very In
teresttng and important facts In connec-
ton with the system OF plumbing operated
in Washington.
Mr. Ball recommends that frame build
ipgs should not be permitted as at present
to be added to brick buildings, as it Is
impossible to adequately protect the waste
and supply lines located in such supple
mentary structures against the effects Of
frost and the settlement Of walls and
floors. He mentions some OF the changes.
which, he says, are for the most part
minor ones. Under the new rules 1t Is
provided that all exterior stopcocks on
water service lines are to be supplied by
the water department.; that all tapping OF
main sewers shall be done by District
employe, and that terra Gotta fresh-air
inlet pipe shall be terminated at the ground
level with cast iron.
In speaking of school sanitation the
report says: ITO maintain u proper stand
ard in school plumbing" and the report
in this connection reads, 1T should be
periodically examined and tested by an
expert, and 1t Is hoped that u system
for such AT examination may be devised
aud kept in force"

Fashionable Beauty
Turns to Charity

The fashionable young woman of New
York is turning TO earnest charity. Re
Gently Rev. W. S. Rainsford declaimed
against the expenditure OF wealth for
frivolous purposes when starvation and
death Knocked at the doors OF so many of
the poverty-strieken OF New York. The
seed thus sown has taken root. 1t is not
at all an uncommon sight, at the homes
OF the young women of fashion who are
trying to tighten the loads OF misery Of
a great city's poor, to witness the gath
ering OF half dozen or more pretty girls,
earnestly bent on preparing boxes of
warm clothing, provisions and various
other articles To be distributed where
they will do the most good.
Not so very long ago it was the custom
to leave all this charitable work, or at
least the execution of it, to the servants;
and it is whispered in unkindly tones that
not more than half that was intended for
