To the Editor of The Evening Star:

| 10 tne Edltor OF The Evening Star:
In reply to the question of East Wash
ington' in Mondays Star, let me give one
very good reason why the Metropolitan
street car company should continue to car
| ry the open trailer" Every man and wo-
man who is shut up during business hours
| in an office or store needs some fresh air,
| and almost their only opportunity to obtain
| 1t Is while en- route to and from business.
| Last week. it is true, there We're three
days when there was risk in riding any
distance in the summer car, but there had
been only two or three such days this
whole winter. And even on those days
there We're plenty of people willing to pay
| from S3 to $40 an hour for the privilege of
| sleight ride in an open sleigh. Many
| times during January l remarked that the
open cars We're more popular than the
closed ones, for an almost empty car. c,ose
ana ill-ventilated, would be followed 10y
full open car many of the passengers being
dehcate-looking women. l am a frail wo-
man rnyelf, but l use the East Capitol cars
almost every day, sometimes three or four
times day, always taking me open car
| from choice, unless the weather is eX-
IRENE, Or what is worse unless the is
| too full of those men who insist upon TAX
| ing their own comfort in their own way.
regardless of the discomfort they infiict
upon others with their tobacco smoke.
am told that the smokers have A light to
| the three back seats in each trailer, but
they make no effort to con(ine themselves
10 those seats even when empty. L have
noticed that the well-bred ren put out
their cigars upon entering the cars, but
many a man insists uuon showing his in
dependence by sitting up in front and
blowing his breath and his smoke into the
faces and lungs of any number of passen-
gers The law of courtesy is as binding in
street car as in palace, and | DO not
see how any man can excuse himself for
throwing smoke into my eyes aud lungs
any more than for squirting water over my
clothes all during the ride 1t is not ladies
alone who complain of this smoking nui-
sance on the street cars; | have heard
more said against it by men than by wo-
men during the last year.
Let us have the closed, warmed car for
those who need wish it, and also the
open car for those who need fresh air;
and please, OH please! kind friends, let us
have some seats there free from tobacco
smoke! CAPITOIIA

tition invites attention i'm a somewhat DIFF
ferent shape to a state of affairs which
they for several years have reported as
needing eradication.

Commissioners, as well as to the present
method of sewage disposal, produce an eff

tial relief.

FREE DISPENSARY.
Institution in South Washington of
Great Service.

For the past two years there has been in
operation at 52S Az street southwest what
is known as the Southwest Washington
Free Dispensary, and where diseases of all
kinds are treated by skillful physicians
without charge. This Institution is located
in nice, clean. new brick house where
cleanliness appears to oe the first order in
the treatment of disease. Since it was
first established it has been supported en-
tirely by the seven physicians, all we'll
known members Of the Washington Medi-
cal Society, who have divided the expenses
between them. No outside help has been
| asked or received during this period Pa
tients who apply for treatment are not
| alone furnished with the service of a skill
ful physician, but are given entirely with
out charge such medicines as may be neces-
Sary.
The people living in the neighborhood saw
that this institution is a godsend to that
section of Washington, and the amount of
good done by these gentlemen without any
ldea OF receiving pay for the same is be-
called at the dispensary there were about
thirty patients, most Of whom were col
ored, awaiting treatment, and he was in
formed that the daily average of applicants
ranges from twenty-five to forty patients
all of whom are treated in turn without
cnarse ana the necessary medicines fur
nished to them.
hui ms tie hoHtH OF January there We're
more than 800 patients, old and new treat
ed, and the month of February bids fair
10 raise this number
The physicians in charge Of the work
are very modest in requesting that their
names he withheld, as the work is a pure
~ charitable one, but at the same time
their usefulness is recognized by those liv-
ing In the vicinity of the dspensary and
by those who have been relieved from the
many Ills OF life by their skillful hands
Having shown, with an experience of
TWO years, that the work is a beneficial
one, 1t is the intention ultimately of these
gentlemen to apply to the Commissioners
Tor recognition as one of the established
hospitals of the District of Columbia. This.
however, cannot be done until another
