THE ATLANTA CREMAToRY.
The Garbage-Destroyin Plant Pro
nounced n Good One.

Commissioner Wight and Health officer
Woodward returned from Atlanta last
night, where they went to inspect the gar
bage crematory recently installed in that
city.
They found the system OF garbage COL
lection and reduction working satisfacto-
rily, and were highly pleased with the re-
suits of their trip In brief, they inspect
ed a system of garbage disposal. includ-
ing ashes, and miscellaneous waste and
refuse which practically gets rid of all dirt
at a cost not exceeding 60 cents per capita
of the population.
The plan of operations in Atlanta as de-
scribed by DR.. Woodward consists of two
branches-the collection of refuse and its
cremation at the furnace. The former
branch of the work is carried on by the
city, the carts and horses being the prop
erty of the municipality, and the men be-
ing employees of the health department
There are three sets of carts-one for
ashes, one for miscellaneous waste, and
one for other refuse. The city is regu-
larly cleaned by districts at stated inter-
walls. Garbage is taken away every day.
and ashes three times a week.
All the refuse but ashes is taken to the
crematory, which is located in the very
centre of the city, two blocks from the
depot, and there burned. The paper, wood,
and other combustible material In miscel-
laneous waste furnishes fuel to the fur
mace, not pound of coal being used In the
process.
The general conclusion reached by the
inspection, was as stated by Commissioner
Wight. that the process In operation in
Atlanta furnishes cheap and effective
mode of garbage disposal.

! A sad case of destitution and sickness
was brought to light yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Harriet Smith, respectable colored
woman, lived with her husband and two
children at 1913 Sixteenth Street north
west. They were able to maintain mod
est home, and with the assistance derived
from renting several rooms were in a
comfortable condition.
Several weeks ago their two children
were stricken with scarlet fever. The lodg
ers left the house because Of the conta-
gion. The husband lost his position and
was unable to secure further work. Last
week he went to Annapolis in the hope of
finding employment there. Mrs. Smith was
left alone to provide for and nurse her sick
children.
Yesterday afternoon she had but 10 cents
with which to buy food and medicine. Her
rent had not been paid and the agent or
landlord of the property sent several men
to remove her furniture from the house
Mrs. Smith begged them to permit her to
stay one day longer as in that time she
said she would try to provide a place for
nefSelI ana cnlldren. Inc men refused ana
proceeded TO move her household goods
from the premises. The goods were placed
on the parking adjoining the side walk.
The sight of a crying woman, scantily
clad, amid a confused collection OF house
hold goods was novel sight TO the resi-
dents in the vicinity Of Sixteenth and X
Streets northwest and attracted a crowd Of
SEQ people. Many expressions of sympathy
were heard and some threats were made.
The agents OF the property were severely
scored FOR their apparent lack of feeling In
turning a woman with her sick children
into the street.
Many suggestions were made by the by
ISLANDERS. but none offered any material
assistance. William +. Downey, who con-
ducts livery stable in L Street. between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. passed
at the time. Learning the cause of the
womans trouble he Immediately offered to
have her furniture placed in storage, and
after this matter had been attended 10 as
sisted her TO find a place of refuge. This
was obtained through a distant relative
OF Mrs. Smith, who rendered herself and
children temporary home. Before leav-
ing Mr.. DOwney gave the woman s..
In speaking OF the matter last night Mr.
Downey said that he had done nothing
that the case was extremely aggravating
and heaTtless.
The house at 1913 was dark last night,
but card at the side of the door an
nounced that the premises were for rent.

COIumbia-"A Colonial GirI.''

"A Colonial Girl" which was presented
by Howard Gould last night at the Colum-
ba Theatre, is the same romantic drama
given a short time ago at the Lafayette by
E. H. Sothern. II is not different from the
ordinary romantic drama, bearing evil
dences Of the usual tendency toward arti-
fciality and improbability. There are
pretty speeches and exciting situations
enough however. 10 carry the piece into
the favor of the average audience. That
OF yester-evening was in the best of hu-
mors and applauded in manner that left
no room for doubt concerning its opinion
of the production. Mr.. Gould, who i'm
proved on his predecessor in The Prisoner
OF Zenda." improves on him again in the
Furniss- Richardson work giving the dash
ing bits Of the play right gallautly. His
comedy. however. is a trifle weak. Grace
Freemans S impersonatiOn OF Mollie Hedden
is meaningless-or, meaning anything, is
childish rather than arch. Charles G.
Brandt and Duncan Harris are excellent
as testy British officers, while Eleanor
Carr is good in heavy role. The remain
der of the cast proved mediocre. Quo Va
dis is underlined for next week.
