AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

Fairmont News:
The Democratic convention at Man
katO, evidently nominated Hammond
because he was on visit and could
not decline. 1t seems rather unfair
to take such an advantage of a man
behind his back.

Elise HerndOn Stanton.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

~
l have just seen IN your paper of the
18th instant an article stating that Elise
Herndon Stanton, who died at the Homeo-
pathic Hospital in your city on the 18th
Instant, claimed to be half sister OF
Edwin NJ. Stanton, President Lincolns Sec
rotary of War. The claim was a fraudu-
lent one, and it Is doubtful whether she
vas even distantly related to that family.
She says her fathers name was James
Stanton. II is we'll known that Secretary
Stantons fathers name was David STAN
ten. She also says that her grandfather
was Beverly Stanton of Virginia, and that
grandfather of Edwin NJ. Stanton was Ben
jamin Stanton of North Carolina, who had
son named James, but he Uames) never
married and was lost at sea, with one of
his fathers ships when quite young man.
The genealogy of that branch of the
Stanton family to which Secretary Stanton
belonged is now before me, and it does not
show in the last 200 years the names of
Beverly or Carrot Stanton. The name
James Stanton appears but twice. one was
the son of Benjamin Stanton of North
Carolina, who was lost at sea- the other
was cousin of Secretary Stanton, who
was born, lived and died in Belmont
county. Ohio
The writer of this is first cousin of
the late Edwin M. Stanton is familiar with
the family history and knows that the
claim of Elise Herndon Stanton is false
one, and has written this statement to
undeceive those kind-hearted persons who
may have been imposed upon by her state
ments' Very reS BYRoN STANTON.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
MENACEs TO HEALTH.

Attention Called to Canal and Ana
costa Flats.
Commissioner Black has, in reply to a
request by Senator Gallinger, written the
latter brief description of the proposed
sewage disposal system of the District of
Columbia In part, Commissioner Black
says:
The James Creek canal is an open cham
mel, about sixty feet in width. extending
from the arsenal grounds to South Capitol
and g streets, within one-half mile of the
Capitol The amount of water thrown
into 1t by the sewers Is even in times of
rain insufficient to keep it properly flush
ed, and as the current is frequently re-
Versed by the rising tide large portion Of
the materials brought down by the sewers
Is deposited as purifying mess upon the
bottom. At present this mass of material
appears to be about two feet thick over the
entire canal. Its condition is as stated in
the petition recently sent to Congress by
the citizens of Southeast Washington
Offensive and dangerous as this condi-
ton of affairs is. the deposition of sewage
over the Anacost,a fla:s produces a state
or ahatrs much more detrimental to the
public health. The mass of putrefying
matter at the bottom of James Creek canal
is kept from rapid oxiC alton by means Of
the water upon il, while the material car
red over the flats at high tide IS left at
low tide exposed to the full effects of the
sun and wind. SO that. although not as
ohei s.ve TO the immediate neighborhood
tie danger to the health of the public is
greater. / have been informed by doctors
ttat 1t could be stated without exaggera-
uon that in the fall of 1895 there was not
house in Anacostia that did not have one
or mere cases of malarial fever in it during
that season.

The Christening of Vessels.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Under the heading "Hoodooed Ships. -
printed in your issue of the 26th instant,
Mr.. EDWARD T. Lincoln is quoted: The Con-
stttution was christened with water taken
from a spring on Cops HILL"
The late Admiral Preble. the one who
broke bottle of sea water over the bow
Of the Hartford when launched, expressly
states in one Of his historical sketches that
the Constitution was christened with "a
bottle of choice old Madeira from the cellar
OF one Of Bostons leading merchants"
Admiral Preble spoke with the authority
of records and the statement of an eye
witness; and. for the sake of historical
accuracy, l make this statement
If water were used at all, it was used at
one of tie two preceding unsuccessful eff
forts to lauEch the vessel. Will Mrs. NJ. l..
Wells, who makes the statement, kindly
tell us upon what authority Mr.. Lincoln
beseS his assertion? And, too, has Mr..
Lincoln authority for the inference he
would have us draw that the unfortunate
vessels he names were cnristened with
wine? In the case Of the Nfpsic, which,
by the way, was not lost, but had her
stern post and propeller injured, she was
SO christened, know. The accident of the
Lursting gun did not happen on the Presi-
cent, but on the Princeton.
1 write merely for the sake of historical
accuracy, and not to question the christen-
ing virtues of either wine or water, each
basis of that religious custom of which our
present function is survival.
