To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The law for the removal Of snow from
the sidewalks, within four hours after it
has ceased falling, seems, think, perfectly
just to the majority of the citizens of
Washington.
Why does Uncle Sam evidently consider
himself exempt from this law?
Is four hours too short time? Evident
ly. He prefers to wait, in some instances
from Sunday morning. when the snow had
ceased falling until Tuesday
Is this a good example for the property
owners in general?
AS l understand, about 5000 names have
been reported for noncompliance with this
law, and warrants are being issued in ac-
cordance.
Do you think Uncle Sam will appear on
the list?
For instance; all the pavement in front of
the coast and geodetic survey and marine
hospital service, pavements surrounding tha
capitol and library grounds, which are in
constant service, and many others, were
left until Tuesday morning. H. A. X.

Mr.. c. S Pearson was long a member of
the staff of the Washington Evening Star.
In the summer of 1898 he resigned to go
to Guatemala. He suffered there from fever
and returned by way of San Francisco, ar
irving in Washington toward the end of
the year. Before he left Washington he
was firm believer in the medicinal quail
tiles of RipanS Tabules and took Il lot of
them with him to Guatemala where he
earned the friendship of Capt Russell of
the steamer San Bias, which sails from
San Francisco and stops at ports in Cen
tral America, by making known to him the
marvellous virtues of R-I-P-A-N-S the med
zeal wonder of the century. Mr. Pearson
often dilateS upon Capt. Russels en-
thuslasm about the Tahules. and recently
wrote to The Ripans Chemical Company as
follows
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec H. 1898.
The press reports regarding the revolu-
ton which took place in Guatemala in the
summer did not give the correct cause. 1t
was claimed that the people did not want
Cabrera for president. The fact of the
matter was they wanted any president who
would give them Ripans Tabules. This
plank was not in Cabrera's platform-hence
the revolution. The Tabules We're intro
duced into Guatemala by Captain William
Russell of the Pacific Mail steamer San
Bias and myself. Captain Russell as do
most steamer officers, suffered greatly from
Indigestion 1 persuaded him to take Ri
pans, and he declared their effect was mar
velous. being better than anything he had
ever tried. He secured quantity, and as
people of the tropics suffer terribly from in
digestion, the Tabules are now known most
favorably throughout Central America.
c. S. PEARSON.
One of the editors of the Washington
Star vouches for Mr. Pearson in these
words: He is o. K, and his testimonial
from the steamship captain is, I am sure,
perfectly reliable
There is little doubt of the soundress of
the theory that many family difficulty
might be composed by a judicious use of
Ripans Tabues, and a Central American
revolution is little more than family diff

Maj. Charles II. Hudson, chief engineer of
the Southern railway retired from the
company's service Saturday last. The
name of the successor has not been given
out here. and it has been suggested that
the position may be abolished. If it is not
filled the division engineers will probably
report TO Mr.. Cannon, the third vice presi-
dent.
Major Hudson was born in Westminster,
Mass. He graduated from the Engineering
School Of Harvard University. After a
career in the west. beginning in 1860. ne
was from 1871 to 1881 superintendent of the
Baltimore and OhiO's lines west of the Ohio
river. and after successfully <rving other
roads as general manager and superintend-
cnt Of construction he was made chief en-
gineer of the southern railway. For the

PERMIT REFUSED.
Comm is siOners Deny Privilege of
Erecting Overhead Wires.

The application of Mr. G.. W. Ribble, act
ing manager of the Postal Telegraph Cable
Company, for permission to extend a wire
from the COmpany's lines al the corner of
18th and b streets over existing poles to
the headquarters of the marine service, in
the Butler building. New Jersey avenue
and b street southeast. and from there to
the navy yard has been refused by the
District Commissioners, on the ground that,
in the opinion of the Commissioners they
are not able under the law to grant the
privilege.
In making his application Mr.. Ribble ex-
planned 10 the Commissioners that the de-
sired extension was requested for the ac-
com!nOdatiOn of the company's government
business to the points named. 1t is under
stood that, in the opinion of the Commits
sloners, the law OF June 30, 1883. in regard
to the erecting Of overhead wires in the
city, excludes the telegraph companies from

THE EARLY CLOSING PLAN,
Discussion of the Project to Shorten
the Hours Of Clerks.

The discussion of the subject of early
closing for the business establishments of
Washington, preached through the col
umns of The Star the other day by a
clerk, is progressing. This proposition, to
give the employees of the business houses
shorter working hours mas been proposed
on previous occasions, but save so far as
the stores are closed earlier than usual in
summer on some days, it has met with no
success. The Star is in receipt of commu-
niCations on the subject. One correspond
ent, writing over the initials &c. E. P,
suggests thai the movement for early clos
ing should include the saloons, which are
now kept open until midnight. He says he
does not think any good comes from keep
ing such late hours and adds:
Il think for the preservation of the pub
lie peace and also for the benefit of some
bartenders who are compelled to remain en-
duty such long hours that the saloons
should open not earlier than o'clock in
the morning and close not later than 10
O'Clock at night. l feel sure that all law
abiding saloon keepers would be pleased at
the idea, as L am told that there is little or
no business done after 10 o'clock. The
saloons are then frequented by lot of
men who are anxious to have somewhere
to spend their time. Several saloon keep
ers with whom l have spoken on the sub
ject are well satisfied with closing earlier"
Another writer signing himself Mum
dane" takes issue with the general prOpO-
sition, as advanced by the clerk who was
interviewed in The Star. He describes his
own situation as typical of that of many
other residents of the city. He is a gov
eminent employe, occupied in a line of me-
chanical industry and on duty from am.
until 4:3O pm. He asserts that in com
parison with his position that of 'he aver
age store clerk is easy. Aside from COM
parsons, however he protests against The
early closing movement proposed, on
the ground that it would give him and otn-
ers similarly employed no opportunity to
make purchases save on Saturday night.
He proposes that the clerks hours in the
stores be from am to pm. on ordinary
days and not later than 10 pm. on Sat

 Mr. Troup said that it would talk, l $129,O00 to repair the macadam roads il
 New Haven. In his opinion the faul put out money enough in repairs ol macadam roads. The macadam roads were in a deplorable condition. so bat that fire engines were delayed in get ting to fires. This statement was cor roborated by Chief Fanoher.
 If the people of New Haven wanted decent streets well watered and clean. ed, they couldn't expect a dollars wortf of work for a dime. This work cant be done unless the money Is put out tC do it. If only $40000 was appropriated to clean streets with. the people on Or ange, West Chapel and other residential streets must accept the consequences The money would be applied equally in all parts of the city. Forty thousand dollars would not clean the streets; $75,- 900 would be necessary. The money ap- propriated by the board of finance would not repair the streets. Eighteen hundred dollars for an inspector of bridges and $1,100 for ah inspector of excavations had been asked for, but had not been allowed. MT. Troup thought that such inspectors were necessary
 Alderman Dove said that MT, Troup some time ago asked to have the salary of the sewer superintendent increased from $1,500 to s1,S0O so that he could in- spect bridges.
 MT. Troup-"Did you get that inform ation from me?"
 Alderman Dowe-"It is to be refuted if 1t is not true"
 MT. Troup--"It is not true"
 MT. Troup said that he recommended S10,0O0 to be appropriated to complete the Willow street bridge, and only $2,- 900 was allowed For street sprinkling he asked for $76,000, this to include the purchase of carts and the building of sheds, but only S50000 was allowed In reply to a question by Alderman Doo- han, MT Troup said that in his opinion it would be good business policy to add one or two mills to the tax rate recom- mended by the board of finance in order to permit of repairing of streets equip ment of idle engine houses and to do other needed work which would in the end save money

A FRENCH COxEY MARCH

Paris Nov 22-An incident that must be regarded as most diea greeable by the Cabinet has suddenly assumed consider able proportions. For some time past a strike of no particular importance has been in progress in the Doubs. In the usual way it had been kept alive by a agitators, reinforced in this instance by a "citizeness," one Mme. Sorgue, who is doubtless jealous of the laurels of Louise Michel Nothing seemed destined to draw the attention Of the country to this most commonplace labor conflict. The situation, however, has suddenly been changed by quite unexpected de- velopments. In the first place, the em- ployes of a big firm in the district, who admittedly had no grievances of their own, decided to join the strikers solely with a view to showing what Is termed in the jargon of the revolutionary lead CTS their spirit of solidarity. In a word, 1t became apparent that rehearsal on a small scale of that pet revolutionary experiment a general strike was afoot, and the political influences at the back of the entire movement began to be ep- preciated in Paris.
 But there was more to follow. At
