Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
One source of contamina ton Of the Po-
tomac, to which l have so far seen no alIu-
sion. is the practice of throwing dead ami
mails in the river. 1t is not an unusual
thing TO see dead dogs, hogs, sheep, Nc,
hoating down stream. Many of the ami
mails die of cholera and other infectious
diseases. L have seen more than once A
delunct canal boat mule decaying in the
shallow water near the shore. Some of
these animals may have been accidentally
drowned. but that the majority of them
were thrown into the river cannot bS

PIN WAS IN HIS LUNG.
Exercise on Football Field Probably
Saves Students Life at
AnsOnin, Conn.

Fred Ward, a student at Taft pre-
paratory school in Watertown, a few
miles north of Ansonia, Conn, swal-
lowed the blowpin from an airgun at
his home in New Haven last April.
The pin lodged in one of his lungs,
and almost Immediately he began TO
fail. Several physicians were consult
ed, and everything known in medical
science was done TO remove the pin
or relieve him, but it only resulted in
failure, and Ward was threatened
with death in consequence.
The young man is ambitious, how
ever, and determined to continue his
studies. At the beginning of the
school year at Taft's he made his APP
pearance and joined his class. Before
the accident he was great lover Of
football and other athletics, and when
the team was being made up at the
school he went in for trial.
On Wednesday he was practicing
with the team and taking violent ex-
ercise. Suddenly he was attacked
with fit of coughing, and after the
most violent effort he spat up the
blowpin. Since then Ward has felt
no soreness of the lungs, his appetite
has returned, and his health is i'm
proving.

Astropomers May Prove That IL Is
Earth's Nearest Neighbour be-
yOnd the Moon.

Prof. Edward F. Pickering and his
staff at the Harvard observatory are
busily engaged in making a number
of exact observations relating TO the
wly-discovered asteroid this side of
the planet Mars. This asteroid is small
in size, being probably only a few
miles in diameter, but is most re-
markable object. Although there are
about 400 asteroids in the swarm be-
tween Mars and Jupiter, thought to
be fragments of planet which had
met with some mishap in the process
of formation, this is the first which
has ever been discovered this side of
Mars. II, as ii is thought will prove 10
be the case upon further investigation,
II approaches at any point in its orbit
nearer to the earth than than the
nearest point in the orbit of the planet
Venus, 1t is our nearest neighbor IN
the heavens with the single exception
of the moon, If the theories now en-
tertained in regard TO the asteroid
prove 70 be correct it will be of great
assistance to astronomers in measur-
ing distances from the sun and stars.

Wash, May he the Scene
of Trouble.

The Puyallup Indians of Pierce coun-

cycle riders. President John Nj. Bell,
of the Wheelmen's association. has APP
pealed to the county commissioners for
protection. The principal bicycle path
of the northwest, connecting Tacoma
and Seattle, passes through the Puyal-
lup reservation, and some of the more
intelligent young Indians at the gov
eminent school have abandoned the
cayuse for the bicycle
In the present difficulty these young
men are working with the Wheelmen's
association TO punish the enemies Of
the bicycle. At first the Indians
INSTRUCTED the path with brush and
stones, following this move by telling
trees across the path. This aroused.
the white wheelmen 10 high pitch of
indignation. At this point the Indi-
ans began threatening the younger
members Of the association, The In
dams have become bolder and have
chased several bicycle riders off the
reservation.

Miss Christine Bradley, the daugh-
ter of Kentucky's governor, who
caused a sensation last spring by
christening the battleship Kentucky
with water, was the subject of long
debate in the convention of the Wom-

Kentucky at Louisville.
A resolution was introduced bestow-
ing upon Miss Bradley the title "daugh-
ter of the w. c. T. L." Some of the
women thought 1t the proper thing,
others, who were themselves mothers
of eligible daughters, intimated that
MISS Bradley was not the only young
woman entitled TO the honor, and still
Others argued that the daughter
business" was already overdone. The
latter won and Miss Bradley lost the
title.

PRIEST breaches IN STREET.
Father McSweeney. of New York City,
Adopts New Method to
Reach People.

Open-air Catholic services were held
in East Eleventh street, New York
city, the other afternoon Rev. DR..
insolvency, rector of ST. Brigid's
church, who officiated, said that so far
as he knew it was the first time Cath
Ollie clergymen in this country had
gone into the streets TO preach. If the
innovation was successful in bringing
luekwarm Catholics 20 a better per-
Torrance Of their duties, he proposed
TO continue il. He first obtained per-
mission from Archbishop Corrigan to
preach in the streets for the benefit
of the large number of Italians in his
parish who would not attend church.
In New York city, he says, there are
10000 Italians, all Roman Catholics,
and of the number scarcely 10000 at
tend church. In seeking for the cause
of this indifference he found that the
italians were opposed to building or
supporting churches because in their
native land the government did that.

PRINTERS REAP.
Gather Their Harvest of Vegetables
nt New York City-Adopted
Pingree Plan.

Pingree's potato idea has been car
ried out by unemployed printers of
New York city and the type farmers"
have gathered the fruit of their toll.
Early this spring a grant was obtained
from the park board of 321 acres Of
ground at Pelham Park bay for cul-
tivation the ensuing summer by mem
bers of the printers union. Plats
were assigned 10 each cultivator, who
worked under the direction of a COM
petent instructor. All the produce
raised belongs TO the cultivator, who
can sell IL himself or consign 1t for
sale 10 a foreman appointed by the
land committee.
Prominent S promoters Of the
scheme were the well-known lawyer
and clubman, Bolton Hall; DR.. William
Tolman, of the New York Association
for the improvement of the Condition
of the Poor; Prof. Gould, of Johns Hop
kins university, and j. w. Sullivan, a
well-known writer.
The work of harvesting was entered
into with zeal that showed the am
bition of the cultivators 10 reap we'll
their harvest. At the dinner hour the
men went in attachments 10 the din
ing tent, where a regulation country
dinner was given them.

THE DOCTORS STARTLED
WHEN DoDD's KIDNEY PILLS CURED PA
RALYsIs, AFTER THEY HAD FAILED.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Oct. 10.-The most
remarkable event that has, for many
years, startled the medical profession.
occurred in this city some little time ago.
This was not less than genuine and per
manent cure of a severe case of paralysis.
Our reporter investigated the case, and
interviewed Mr.. a. s. Chatfield, tin-smith,
SIC ~ Church ST., who was cured. The
report proved to be true.
Mr.. Chatfeld said: "In August 1896, |
had severe stroke of paralysis. Medi-
cal attendance was secured, but the
doctors could do nothing for me. My
friends thought there was no hope for
me, but | fingered on.
IL was advised to try Dodds Kidney
Pills. had no hope they would help
me. but got box | began to mend inn
mediately. | continued their use, and |
am now cured thoroughly
Similar results have followed the use
Dodd's Kidney Pills in every quarter of
the state. No wonder the people have
such faith in them, and will buy no
other.

ROMANCE OF THE KLONDIKE.
Man Returns from Gold Fields, Finds
His Wife Had Secured Divorce,
and Remarries Her.

A romance of the Klondike is re-
vealed at Macon, Mo-, in the office of
the county clerk. About year ago
NJ. B. Ayers, prosperous stock man,
sold out his holdings in that city and
went to the gold fields, despite the pro-
tests of his wife. Mrs. Ayers, who
is young and good looking, became
convinced that she would never see
her helpmeet again, and she at once
applied for a divorce. In March last
decree was granted on the plea Of
abandonment.
When Mr.. Ayers returned from the
gold fields last week, he brought $780,
600 In gold dust, his profits in a deal
IN mining claim near Dawson City.
But instead of finding a yearning wife
awaiting him, he was confronted by
her decree of divorce. The Klondiker
would not be put off, however. He
sought out his ex-wife, showed her the
color of his gold dust, insisted that his
intentions had always been right and,
as an outcome, license has been is
sued for the remarriage of divorced
couple.
