CLEANING "LITTLE ITALY
WORK OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN
DIsINFECTING NOXIOUs PLACES
IN THE SLUMS

The Italian districts Of New-York have re-
eeiYed much attention at the hands Of the
Health Department in the last ten days. and if
tie germs Of contagi ous diseases still lurk in the
homes Of the Italians or in the cutters and gar
bage heaps near their homes, il is because the

OF Chief Inspector Bauvelt deluged the places

On the first day il was necessary in some places
to call in the sanitary policemen. but on the
following days the people submitted quietly TO
having their places made clean and wholesome.
The general condition was better than the
sanitary officers expected to find it, and al
though there are many families to whom clean
illness is unknown, and whose houses and apart

SECRET CORRESPONDENCE.
AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE INKS USED FOR THAT
PURPOSE.


PURPOSE.
OF the many invisible and sympathetic inks
that have been used for secret correspondence
perhaps the best known are those composed
mainly Of salts of cobalt. Marks made with
these fluids remained invisible until they were
subjected to heat and then We're revealed IN
lines of pale green. The phenomenon was tran
sient ana entirely dependent on the temperature.
As soon the >neet of paper grew cool the
writing would disappear Now, to those who
had occasion to employ such means Of com
mun.caton. it was desirable to know whether
any one tampered with their letters or not So
long as the faCt Of the correspondence Vas kept
secret Of course there would be no danger But
if that once became known the contents Of
private letter might be ascertanei by any one
through whose hands the letter passed. Cobalt
writing can be made to appear and disappear
dozen times without giving the least evidence
of having been read But patent was receaty
granted in Germany which meets this difficulty
and in some other respects, also, is improve
ment on the old system.
In the first place the paper used is soakai in
the cobalt solution and is prepared in advance.

first and second the thirds were to have
their inning. Evidently the prospect for
the holders of the third preference bonds
to obtain any dividends is very remote
In 1898 and in 1899 the holders of the
first preference income bonds were paid
2 per cent. on their holdings from the sur
plus of the company. The first, second
and third income bonds are very largely
held in Savannah, which city was the
chief sufferer by the collapse of the Gem
trial. and ma turally the holders of these Sc
curittes, if such they can be called, are
DESTROYS of having the value of their hold
ings increased by the prospect OF divi-
dends. Should the earnings of the COM
pany reach the point where the first in
come bonds should be paid the full per
cent. dividend, the prospect of simtar
good fortune some day would enhance the
value of the second and third income
bonds. At present the firsts ere quoted

A RULE TO SHOW CAUSE.
Granted by Judge FaIIigant Against
Receiver In the LAWN Case.


A rule to show cause was granted by
Judge Falligant in the Superior Court yes
terday, requiring John r. Dillon, receiver
of the court In the case of Kate LAWN
against James P. LAWN, executor, to show
cause why he should not pay TO L. H.
McLaws, counsel for the receiver, the sum
of $500.
The plaintiff is the liquidating copartner
of the old firms of Harden, West & Nc
Laws and West & McLaws, that success
sively represented the receiver in the long
litigation between the parties in the LAWN
case. The services rendered by the firms Of
which he is the representative are set out
at some length in Capt McLaws' petition
10 the court. 1t is recited that by pre-
vious order of the court the receiver was
authorized and required to pay to his le-
gal advisers the sum of $500, their fees
for services rendered, and that this he has
failed and neglected to do.
Judge Falligant granted an order re-
quiring Capt. Dillon to appear before him
tomorrow morning and explain his APP
parent failure TO comply with the Drevi
Gus order of the court. 1t Is rather ex-
pected that the hearing will be productive
of interesting developments. The plaintiff
in the pending cease is represented by
Messrs, I,awton & Cunningham.
