at Convention Hall, he will deliver his rev
lecture, the First Crossing OF Green
land" with a complete description of Es-
kimo life and magnificent colored lantern

such proposition had not been looked upon
with favor by the committee on appropria-
tions of the House of Representatives,
and l hope that the matter may be further
considered by it with more favorable re-
suits.
THE items by which it was sought to
provide for the maintenance of the small
pox hospital. and for the services of an
engineer, are possibly, from sanitary
standpoint, not of SO great Importance, as
the omission of the former will probably
be overcome from time to time if the hos
pital actually passes into state of di-
lapidation by specific appropriations for
it's improvement, although it would, 1T Is
believed be more economical to properly
preserve it than to have it maintained by
such a method. The omission of the lat
ter provision for an engineer, will merely
render the new hospital unserviceable in
event of an outbreak until an engineer
can be found who is competent to perform
the duties and who is immune to the dis
ease, a combination of qualifications which
may or may not be easy to secure"

Railroads I'm Mt. Pleasant.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I would respectfully suggest to the two
District committees in Congress that the
rival railroad companies just now striving
to project their lines into Mt. Pleasant
should not occupy the floor quite SO much
to the occlusion Of taxpayers and residents
who understand the situation quite as well
as the above corporations, who seem only
intent on grabbing valuable territory from
each other. For instance, If the splendid
Metropolitan system builds up Sherman
avenue and west through Mt. Pleasant to
make junction with its terminus on Co
lumbia road, thus opening up rapid transit
for Columbia Heights, Holmead Manor and
tons of the city I OF reached by the Capital
Traction, what reason is there for allow
Ing the Capital Traction to occupy both
14th street extended and Park street by
its proposed loop? This loop scheme Is
based on no necessity. for with an electric
line on Sheridan avenue or Howard ave-
nue. those people would be as well or bet
ter served than are residents In nearly
all the densely populated portions OF the
city. Fourteenth street extended through
out the spring, summer and autumn is very
heavily Travelled by pleasure carriages and
bicycle riders. who seek the beautiful re-
gion in our northern suburbs; and Park
street only twenty-four feet from gutter
to gutter is the great highway connecting
the Soldiers Home Park and the Rock
Creek Park. 1t is the only through east
and west street Mt. Pleasant has. 1t is SO
narrow that II an electric line were adj
mitted to the street and given ten feet for
It's use but seven feet would be left on
each side for passing vehicles, unless they
were driven in the gutter. and IL they were.
then but nine feet! In the summer time
heavy tide of travel is almost constantly
passing along this street to and from the
Rock Creek Park region. Few streets in
the city are more heavily Travelled, and be-
ing such a gateway to the park, II would
be q burning shame to have 1t swept its
full length by iron tracks and trains pro-
PEELED at from fifteen to twenty-five miles
an hour. With the Metropolitan within a
stones throw of Park street and the Cap
ital Traction at the door of Mt. Pleasant,
every necessity for rapid transit in this re-
g.on will be fully met. The idea of letting
two rival lines into this narrow strip Of
territory is conceived in folly and based
almost wholly On the cupidity Of railroad
stockholders. II forced through with the
lack of conscience that usually character
ICES such schemes, and against the advice
of the Commissioners, the resulting men,
aces to safe park travel will rise up to
plague the people for generations to come

The Won Essen Beaucst.

In response to an inquiry from the Presi-
dent the District Commissioners state that
they are not disposed to question the ac-
ton in the matter of the passage Of the
bill providing for the distribution among
the heirs of the late Peter Won Essen the
amount he bequeathed to the white public
schools of Georgetown. They invite the
Presidents attention. however to the re-
port they made on the bill while it was
pending before Congress, in which they
recommended that the money be used for
the benefit of the said schools.

The District Commissioners have refused
to take action at present upon the request
Of the United States Electric Lighting
Company for permission to connect the

Expense Very Large.

1.-The expenses incident to the supervis-
ion of any outbreak of smallpox or yellow
fever are very great. 1t is impossible in a
district situated as this one is to secure the
services of competent medical men in con-
nection with such work for less than So
to SIS per day, not only because such work
demands special qualifications. but because
those entering into 1t must themselves be
isolated in the hospital or quarantine sta
tion away from their families and friends;
must, therefore, abandon private practice
during the time they are so engaged, and
invariably feel the effect Of such associa-
ton upon their private practice after being
relieved of such duty. The element of
personal danger of contracting the disease
must also be considered.
which will be easily recognized, it is neces
sary, too, to compensate literally the
nurses and laborers engaged in such work
Food, fuel and drugs must be provided fol
the hospital: watchmen must be employed
to guard private houses infected with the
disease, and some of the articles destroyed
must be paid for or replaced. If the out
break be one Of smallpox, vaccination
must be encouraged, which involves the
purchase of vaccine matter and the en-
ployment of physicians. For these rea-
sons the expenses of a moderate outbreaks
would probably be not less than $50 pei
day. If an outbreak should occur when
Congress were in session, It might be pos
sible, IL available funds were exhausted
to secure special appropriation. but at
other periods the District would be In q
serious predicament. In such cases delayed
action is fatal to. success, and hardness

TIE BROOKLYN DRYDOCK.

In ignoring the recommendation to mercy
made by nine OF the ten men who tried Civil
Engineer Menocal. and sentencing that officer
TO three years suspension on furlough pay, the
Navy Department IS doubtless doing what It
regards as Justice and for the best interest Of
the service Civilians will not be disposed TO
question either the wisdom disinterestedness
Of the authorities or to inquire too curiously
into the vexed question as to how far an in
ferior may carry protest against the propriety
OF his orders When Admiral Markham obeyed
orders against his own Judgment and sent the
Victoria TO the bottom the English naval au-
thorities felt bound TO exonerate him for doing
what they all wished he had taken the respOn-
sbility Of refusing TO do
Mr.. Menocas case raises a somewhat similar
question He protested against the drydock
contract. said that the Government would not
get proper piece Of work under ii. and asked
for help 10 watch II with a vigilance which
with his other duties he could not personally
besiow lie was sharply snubbed. Now, when
his prediction Is only too well verified. he Is
tried for having failed to secure good work and
detect bad work. and the Department rejects
the recommendation 10 mercy. based largely on
his warnings against his orders. That might
be thought to be official notice that he should
have demurred still more strenuously to the Or
