A correspondent of a London paper asserts that no fatal results may be feared from yellow fever if the person attacked, as soon as the symptoms ap- pear, takes a tumblerful of olive oil with the juice of lime squeezed into it. This dose should be repeated till vomiting and purging ensue. This is infallible in checking the virulence of the com- plaint, says the letter writer, "and a speedy convalescence invariably fol- lows. I have not only proved it's effi- ciency personally, but have witnessed it's complete success in dozens of cases, both in Cuba and South America

Corporal Was Disorderly.

Corporal Joseph Murphy of the marine
corps, who has spent nearly fifteen years
in the service. was arrested in Georgetown
last night by Policeman House on a charge
of disorderly conduct. Having no funds at
hand Murphy had to spend the night in
the lookup.
I'm guilty" he pleaded. when arraigned
in the Police Court this morning, and the
officer who arrested him said 1t was an
ordinary case.
When Judge Kimball had imposed a pen
atty of IS or fifteen days, the defendant
asked that he be permitted to go and get
the money.
II can't do that the Judge told him,
''but I'll telephone to the barracks for
ycu.''
Its hardly worth while to telephone
there at this time of the MONTH" said Muir
ply, "but I can get 1t In the neighbor-
hood"
Policeman Brennan, who was in court,
volunteered to go with him. His kindness
was greatly appreciated by the defendant.

ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
Ffftfeth Anniversary Meeting aud
Part Taken by Washingtonfans.

The fiftieth anniversary of the American
Association for the Advancement Of Science
was held last week in Boston and the con-
| til gent of scientific men who went from
Washington to be present on that occa-
sion have pretty nearly all returned. In
point of numbers Washington had the third
| largest representation. and the names of
| its representatives were conspicuous ones
| in the annals Of science.
! Among the past presidents who were on
| the platform at the meetings of the gem
| eral session were Prof Simon Newcomb
formerly Of the United States Nautical
Almanac. and Prof William Harkness of
| the United States naval observatory. Also
| in attendance at the meetings of the sec
| tion on astronomy and kindred subjects
was Prof. j. r. Eastman, who is president
| OF the Washington Academy of Sciences.
1t is almost impossible to enumerate the
names of those who were present but from
! the bureau Of ethnology there were Mr.
MCGEE and Miss Alice Fletcher: from the
Department of Agriculture there were Mr..
John Hyde, the statistician, and Mr.. Ewell
| of the department of chemistry as well as
DR.. L. o. Howard of the department CT
| ethnology who is general secretary of the
| association. The Geological Park was rep
| resented by DR.. Frank Baker. and the
United States geological survey by Mr..
| Marcus Baker and Mr.. w. II. Dali. The
National Museum was represented by Or.
1 d.
and DR.. Marcus Benjamin. the editor
From Columbian University there were
| Prof. Charles E. Munroe and Prof. Peter
Fireman.
Nearly all of the persons mentioned pre-
sented papers before the association, and
obviously mention can be made OF ALL
/ but attention may te called to two papers
| presented before the association. which
| will make the fiftieth anniversary always
| memorable one. They are the able ad-
dress on the lessons of the war read by
President Eliot of Harvard University in
| Sanders Theater the evening of Angus. 2f
| and the address by DR.. Charles F. Brush
| who has turned aside from his work in
connection with the electric light 20 re-
sumo his studies in chemistry. He an
EouEced at this meeting the discovery by
himself OF one or more new elements in
| the atmosphere thus rivaling Lord Ray
| leigh ana Sir William Ramsey, whose dis
| covery of areon was the conspicuous event
| at the oxford meeting of the British asso-
| citation few years ago. and gained for
| these gentlemen the Hodgkins prize Of
| 10000 given by the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
The next meeting of the association will
be held in Columbus Ohio. under the pres
| idency of Edward Orton, the geologist
In the distribution of the other honor3
Washington was not ignored. for the rres-
cency of the section on anthropology was
given to Prof. Thomas Wilson of the Ma
| tional Museum, and DIR. Marcus Benjamin
received the presidency of the section on
economic science and statistics, while DR..
F. w. True was made secretary of the sec
| tion on zoology.

The Escort Question.

To the Editor of The Evening STAR
If the District regiment does not want an
escort, that ought to settle it. In many
respects it would be a wise decision for all
concerned. Nothing Is more tresome than
aiting for a procession.
Everybody wants to see the heroes of
Santiago, but there are not many who care
to stand the fatigue CT waiting for long
line of escorts to form and march But let
the boys themselves decide the question
1t seems now as If many of the soldiers
will be too weak to march. Carriages
should be provided for the sick ores. AS
they will have to ride to their homes any,
how, the sick and wounded might as well
appear in the procession in carriages
