ALLEGED NUISANCES.
Frame Shanties and Pig Pens on
Water Street Investigated.

wafer street Investigated.
AS attorney for the estates Of the late
VIM. L. and James E. Clark and of Mrs.
Maria Dietz, owners of certain lots in
square 662, Mr.. James S. Edwards recently
invited the attention of the District Com
missioners to what he charged is nuisance
through the construction of certain one
story frame houses or shanties on the east
front of said square, bordering what is
known as Water street. These houses, stat
ed Mr.. Edwards, are now occupied in part
and are to be occupied when others are
constructed by negroes, pigs goats, chick
ems, cats and other similar 'varmints,
and without drainage, sewerage, or any of
the ordinary safeguards against disease
The existing heat conditions, wrote Mr. Ed
wards, are such that it is necessary for i'm
mediate action to be taken to correct and
abate this alleged nuisance and menace to
the health and welfare of the other occu-
pants OF the square and residents in the
vicinity.
Upon an investigation of the complaint
by Mr.. e. W. Whitaker, an inspector of
the health department, he found, he states,
two pig pens on the east front of square &c.
and notified the tenants to abate the same
IN hve days Mr.. Whitaker also reported
finding other things not conducive to health,
and suggested that If the occupants of the
old shanties are on land owned by Mr. Ed
wards clients, he should resort to legal
measures or to the inspector of buildings
In forwarding the inspectors report to the
Commissioners, DR.. Nm. G. Woodward, the
health officer. stated that the pigs and pig
pens nave been removed but that the other
undesirable structures appear to be in the
PUBLIC street. The, shanties appear, says
Or. woodward, to be on, the property Of
Mr. Edwards clients, and should be re-
moved II the owners of The land did not
consent to their erection. The health off,
Ger suggests that the attention of the in
spector of buildings be invited to the shan
ties, and that If they were erected without
be prosecuted.

Snow on the Sidewalk.

Maj. Sylvester made feeble effort today
to imagine himself in a different climate.
He had just returned to headquarters from
a visit to the White House which, he said
had nothing to do with the Chinese trou-
bles. He took up a batch of communica-
lions from official and other sources and
the first one that he examined was a COM
plant about snow on the sidewalk. Even
the thoughts of snow on the sidewalk did
not have chilling effect upon the police
that the writer wanted to complain of the
presence OF weeds on a lot. and incidentally
the writer had referred to the time last
winter when snow. covered the sidewalk
The complaint was referred to the proper
officer for investigation

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

norance IL not ordinarily probable, are
altogether acceDtably made In the pro-
logue and the first act. for all there is
an occasional threatening OF a drag
which is not surprising considering
what the playwright had To compass.
On the whole, the story is told with
much dramatic feeling and with due
respect for the characters that the Inn
mortal Dickens created. As the drama
proceeds the action hastens materially.
the development of the characters pro-
ceeds more swiftly and the whole story
sweeps rapidly on to the f1nal climax

audience quite off it's feet.
1he demonstration OF the character
OF Carton, from a dissolute. careless
fellow TO a being lmbued with nobility
OF the highest order. the spirit OF self
sacrifice, inspired by love, was tho
adapters chief purpose. and to that
demonstration Mr.. Miller brought his
best talents and gave them the most
sincere expression.
In the minds OF his audience the
tragic picture on the scaffold was inn
pressively contrasted with the telling
bit OF comedy work which portrayed
the reckless and drunken barrister OF
an earlier scene. and Mr.. Miller's art
lstic triumph was complete.

tions punctuate the development OF the
