tion, liver and heart troubles, kidney dis
ease, nervous prostration, all of which are
the indirect result of poor nutrition.

THE USE OF PARKING SPACE.
Commissioner beach Submits n Reg
uInti0n for Approval

The District Engineer Department has
been in receipt of nearly hundred appli-
cations from owners or occupants of stores
upon streets which have not been declared
business streets by the Commissioners for
permission to display goods on the park
ing space. Captain Beach has found that
in order TO take up each case individually
a large increase in the clerical force OF his
Office would be necessary. He also thinks
considerable trouble might be caused the
police. as different permits might be
granted to different parties. Captain
Beach believes that much better results
can be secured through the adoption of a
general regulation, and he has recommend
ed the approval of the following order:
That the owners or occupants OF stores
upon streets not classified as business
streets may, during the time that the
building is open for business, the
space outside their store to the distance of
four feet from uae building line for the
display OF goods or articles directly con-
nec;ed with the business transacted with
in the store; provided that in case of stores
selling meat no carcasses shall be placed
outside the building. That this permit be
reyocable in the case of any individual vio-
lating its provisions and not to give any
authority for permanent occupation of the
space in question"
II is argued that this regulation viii give
parties the same privileges which they en-
1oyed under the old corporation laws.

A Special Letter Carrier Dies From
Inhalbng Gns.
Arthur A. Monroe a letter carrier, thir-
ty-two years old, died at the Emergency
Hospital about lao O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, as the result of inhaling illumi-
mating gas at his home at the corner of
Sixth Street and Louisiana Avenue north
west, two hours previous. The gas was in
hailed through rubber tube connected at
one end with a gas get in room on the
third story. The other end of the tube was
tied in the mans mouth The circum-
stances indicate suicide, and the cause as
signed is said to be a series of domestic
troubles.
Monroe was discovered lying on the floor
in semi-conscious condition at 1880
O'Clock by his wife on her return from mar
ket, whittier she had gone to purchase
provisions in accordance with a suggestion
from her husband. The Emergency Hos
pital was communicated with and the man
taken there in the ambulance. The plysi
clans iabored hard, but despite Their ef-
forts at resuscitation Monroe died without
regaining consciousness.
Mcnroe and his wife lived on the third
floor OF the house mentioned. They had
lived there but short while, having
moved from house at the corner of Ninth
and E Streets northwest. The man ha1
been serving as letter carrier for few
months, but was not on the regular force.
1t was said that during the occupancy by
the Monroes of their former home Mrs.
Monroe attempted suicide by shooting her
self in the head. The couple II is alleged.
were estranged at the time, but later eff
fected reconciliation, with the result that
they lived peacefully together.
1t is said that Monroe was drinking
Wednesday night, and had trouble with
his wife. At all events, Mrs. Monroe called
Policeman STANCE, of the Sixth precinct
and wanted him to arrest her husband,
charging that he had beaten her. STANCE
referred the woman to the policeman on
tne beat where their home is located No
action seems to have been taken against
the man, and nothing is known of his
movements until yesterday morning. when
he entered the house, and, giving his wife
money, instructed her to go 10 market.
When she returned she found the room
door locked, and forced it open. Entering
the room she detected the odor of gas and
saw the unconscious form of her husband
Coroner Carr was notified of the death,
and decided that an inquest was unneces-
sary. He issued a certificate of death by
suicide The arrangements for the funeral

NO FIREWORKS
DURING TIE JUBILEE
The Prohibitory Regulation to
Be Enforced.
Use of Parking Space for the Dis

Attorney Thomas Opinion on LA
biIit. of Non-Residents-Oth
Municipal Affairs.

Many enquiries have recently been made
ers and the Chief of Police in the matter
of permitting the use of firecrackers and
fireworks throughout the city during the
Peace Jubilee
The matter was brought to the attention
of Major Sylvester yesterday by a COM
munication sent to The Times, and he an
nounced that the police regulations viii
selling or using fireworks other than Of
ficials connected with the Jubilee and the
spectacular shows which are TO be given
will be arrested.
Major Sylvester maintains, and in this
he is sustained by the Commissioners, that
fireworks will be more dangerous during
the Jubilee than on the Fourth of July, in
view OF the large amount of decorations
which will be strung along the various
streets, and also in view of the crowds
that will frequent the streets.
The police regulations which prohibit
the sale and use of fireworks. and which
will be enforced, read as follows:
No fireworks explosives OF any kind whatever
shall be manufactured stored. kept or used
within the limits Of the District of Columbia with
out license previously obtained from the Major
and Superintendent of Police under direction of
the Commissioners, except in connection with
public works under the direction of the officer
in charge thereof.
No gun. airgun, rife pistol, OF other irearm,
torpedo, fireeraekers, squib, other fireworks
shall be discharged set off within the limits
OF the city of Washington. or within the fire
limits Of the District OF Columbia outside Of said
city, or in any public road or highway within the
said District, without special permit therefor
from the Major Of Police.
The penalty fer violations of these regu-
lations is fine CT not less than S5 nor
more than $40.

Attorney Thomas, opinion Approved.

A complaint against several nuisances
maintained by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad on premises s33 and S35 First
Street northeast, and consisting of the
lack OF necessary sewer connections. was
recently filed with the Commissioners by
S. S. Hessler, of s27 First Street northeast
The question was referred TO Attorney
Thomas. who replied that the act of May
10, 1886, provides, in case property owner
required to connect his lot with a sewer
be a nonresident notice shall be given by
publication in some daily newspaper in
Washington, directing the connection of the
lot with the public sewer, and that if. af-
ter such notice, the connection is not made
the Commissioners may cause it to be
made and pay the expense out OF the emer-
gency fund, and assess the expense and
cost OF advertising against the lot
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad being a
nonresident of the District, Attorney
Thomas informs the Commissioners that it
will be necessary TO give notice as requir-
ed by the act Of May 10, 1896. II the
company fails to connect its premises with
the public sewer, the Attorney says the
Commissioners may do il and charge the
cost TO the railroad company. The Com
missioners have approved the Attorneys
opinion.

Shortly before the tragedy, Johnson went

supposed that his FIRST attempt to take his
life was unsuccessful. His wife heard the
report of the gun and came out. Johnson
told her that the discharge was accidental,
and returned to the house. In few mo-

weapon, and found her husband lying upon

Northern Liberty Market Claimant,

Arrangements have been completed for
a mass meeting of Northern Liberty Mar

Fifth and C Streets northwest, at 1880
O'Clock this evening. Many, if not all the
claimants, are expected to be present and
a plan of action Will be outlined to be

injunction proceedings which are pending
in the courts restraining the payment of
allowances to them. They will make a
strong effort to have the injunction dis
solved and matters have progressed so sat
isfactorily that they feel confident OF sue
cess.
The trouble is stated to be that the at
torneys have in some cases charged larger
commissions than the claimants agreed to
pay, but the attorneys deny this allega-
tion. 1t is said that many who have been
charged 80 per cent commission would
willingly pay 25 per cent for legal advice,
but will vigorously oppose any proposition
having for its object the payment Of a
