REMOVAL OF ASHES.
Com m un icatiOn Relative to the Mat
ter Sent to COmmis siOners.

Y
ter Sent to COmmis siOners.
Mr. Volney Eaton. secretary of the Capt
tai Construction Company. has again adj
dressed the District Commissioners rela-
tive to the removal of ashes. He states
that he saw in The Star that Mr.. Warner
Stutler the superintendent of the street
cleaning department, had reported to them
in connection with his tEaton's) first COM
munication that ashes will not be removed
from other than private residences.
Il hope" Mr.. Eaton subsequently wrote,
that this matter will be given some
thought and investigation before being
finally settled. An apartment house Is
no more than group Of private residences,
all under one roof. Each apartment or
fiat is treated under the law as a private
residence. 1t has its certain number of
rooms, with cooking facilities and private
entrance 1t Is leased as any house and
the contracts are all governed by the stat
utes relating to landlord and tenants In
the District Of Columbia
Mr.. Eaton says there are a number of
houses in the city four and five stories,
each being fiat, that would probably be
called private residences, and he contends
that they are as much an apartment house
as one Of a greater number Of flats. In
stead Of the collector having a great many
residences to go to. he makes. in the case
of large apartment house but one col
tated that this single collection would be
very simple and easy. 1t would, he argues,
be as consistent to say that garbage should
be removed from private residences only,
and he understands the act providing
for the collection of ashes has for its pur-
pose the doing away with of a public NUS
ance. the indiscriminate hauling of ashes
through the streets by broken-down ash
carts and by crippled animals, he thinks
that IL the great and increasing number
of apartment houses is left out the nuis-
ance will still exist. Then. again. he
thinks that. inasmuch as the taxation on
apartment houses Is far greater than on
private residences covering the same ter
ritory, such houses should be benefited as
much by the appropriation for the collec-
ton and removal of ashes as are private
residences.
1t is not believed that the Commissioners
will, however, recede from their position
that under the contract made with the COL
lectOr ashes can be collected and removed
from private residences only.

While there has been much agitation at
different times during the present century
IN favor of introducing agriculture into the
common schools, thus far no widespread
efforts to do so have been made Under
present conditions 1t appears to most per-
sons who have made a careful study of the
subject that very little can be successfully
done In this direction. until much prelimi-
nary work has been bestowed on the for
mutation of courses in nature study suited
to the needs of the rural schools, on the
training of teachers in this line, and on the
general introduction of nature teaching in
the schools.

Mrs Annie Jost, about forty years old.
dropped dead at her home, No. III III street
southwest. about 10 o'clock this morning
Until Acting Coroner Glazebrook inyestt-
gates the case the exact cause of death
Will not be known. When the police reach
ed the house after the receipt of a report
about Mrs. Josts death a sad sight was
presented Several small children who
were just old enough to know what had
happened were running in a frightened
manner about the house crying.
About three months ago John B. Jost a
carpenter, husband Of the woman who
dropped dead this morning, was sent to the
insane asylum, depriving the family of its
main support He was arrested in South
Washington about the middle of Nav on
suspicion that his mind was impaired but
at that time the doctors placed him in the
care of his wife. thinking she could control
him. A few days later, however he was
again arrested. Then he imagined he was
going TO get wealthy and said he would
make all poor people happy. His condition
was such that the police surgeons reported
him a fit subject for the insane asvlum
The case was referred to Sanitary Officer
Frank and Jost was committed to the
asylum for treatment

TOMLINTON..
WARBURTON

Election day came. The Chinese were
well in hand and had been thoroughly
drilled into what they had to do. Tomlin-
son had explained carefully through their
vote the right way, would have to mark a
cross inside the square following the top
name on the card. The interpreters were
very particular in impressing the top
name idea on their men, and they under
stood the lesson thoroughly.
Each voter was to approach the table on
which the portmanteaus sat. in full view
of the crowd and on being handed his bal
lot by Barrett was to deposit it after max
ing his cross.
Some of Warburton's long headed friends
had found out all about the instructions to
the Chinese. and they got at Mr.. Barrett
and bought that gentleman, body and
boots, to help them carry out a little plot
that they had devised for the benefit of
their candidate. 1t was very simple. All
that the clerk had to do was to hand out a
ticket upside down to every Chinaman who
came along to vote. 1t was a slim chance
that the conspirators were depending on
simply the belief that the Chinese would
carry out their literal instructions and in
sert their crosses on what they believed
was the top square of the card. That the
square appeared on the left-hand side of
the name would probably strike the Chinese
voters as being perfectly natural, according
to their own method of penmanship Bar
rett fulfilled his part of the contract i'm a
very thorough manner
The Tomlinson adherents, who had
watched nearly 500 Cinnamon march up to
the polls and seemingly carry out their
promises, thought that the election was as
good as settled, and many of them were
making merry over the prospect in the tent
saloons along the Ballarat tenderloin long
before the polls were closed.
Their joy was short lived. Warburton
was elected by a majority of nearly 700
votes-saved by his opponents own labor
ers. Old miners say that after the result
was declared and when Tomlinson found
out all about the double cross" or rather
the single cross, that had been worked on
him, he walked up the hill to Chinatown,
and, standing among the shacks of his al
mond-eyed vassals read the riot act to
them with fiery eloquence. Even when he
called them ''dunder-headed, blithering
Monaghan idiots they smiled sadly and
were unmoved. He might as well have
been talking Gaelic for all they understood.
That was the last that Ballarat or Aus
tralia ever heard of the Chinese suffrage
proposition.
