Quoting the $1,000 paid for building the
pest house, $500 for vaccinating the
school children and county charges last
winter, and $500 paid for bedding and
furniture which was unnece ssafily
burned in Helmville about year ago. or
when the disease first broke out and the
average cost of each patient would be
$5l.9 or $5J9.1S per month for running
expenses.
No furniture is burned now on account
little bedding or clothing consigned to
the flames.
When patient enters the pest house
with fairly good suit of clothes they are
thoroughly fumigated and returned to
him when he is discharged, but the
sha bby suits are usually burned and a
new one furnished the patient at an ex-
pense of from $40 to $12 per suit. The
bill for bedding and furniture burned at
Helmville year ago was settled for $4OO
although the owner had presented a bill
amounting to $1,000. The health officers
have found that fumigating is quite as
effective as burning and very much more
satisfactory on account of the saving in
expense.

years ago and the seige of three months

NEW STAMP CHANCELLOR.

Eugene Rowe, one of the popular
clerks in the Anaconda postoffice. and
who. in all probability. will wear the
shoes of the assistant postmaster under
the administra ton of the successor of
the present incumbent. Mr.. Devine. was
made happy yesterday, and he has Il
splendid reason for possessing that
pleasing frame of mind.
For some time past Mr. Rowe has oc-
cuped the position of mailing clerk, and
of course the dispatching of all the let
ters dropped into the Anaconda post
office falls upon him. 1t is his duty to
cancel all stamps. and it hasn't been by
any means an easy task. for the office
was never equipped with a cancellns
machine until yesterday. True. it ar
rived here last December, but for some
reason delay was experienced in setting
it up.
Such contrivances have been in use
in Uncle Sans larger postoffices for
number of years. and of course the at
taches Of the Anaconda office naturally
feel they are rightfully assuming met
ropOlitan airs.
Electricity is used for power. and last
night it was turned on for the first time,
and all letters for the outgoing mails
were Cancelled by it in very short order.
The letters seemed to run through it
like a flash, for as fast as Mr.. Rowe
could deposit letters into the machine
they were snapped up as if by magic.
Heretofore Mr.. Rowe has destroyed
stamps by the wholesale every day in
just about the same manner as Mrs.
Nation demolishes saloons in Kansas.
About the only difference that could be
noticed was that Mr. Rowe didn't use
a Ratchet. His weapon had the appear
ance of being hammer, and from the
noise he made with it back in the mali
ing room, sometimes persons calling Tor
their mail could almost imagie he was
using a sledge or trying to knock out a
section of the postoflice building.
Hereafter the mailing clerk will not be
REQUIRED to exert SO much muscular en-
ergy and he IS glad of it.

SMALLPOX GOING

NEXT WEEK.
IF NO NEW CASES DEVELOP.
Postoffice Made Happy-Knights Of
Pythias Install Their New
Officers.

During the past four days three small
pox patients were discharged from the
county pest house and the number now
under County Physician Feenans
charge has been reduced to three. all of
whom are doing nicely and will be dis
missed sometime during the next two
weeks. The fact that no cases have de-
veloped for over three weeks now is evil
dence that the dread disease is fast be-
ing wiped out and the health officials
have good grounds for believing that the
end is in sight.

was found necessary to add during the
winter on account of the crowded con-
dition of the cd building. there being at
that time - patients to handle, which
was the largest number on hand at any
time since it started.
From the time smallpox broke out in
November 1879 To lHe present tlllt Tue
county has handled. including those nov
at the pest house. 123 cases, and every
one has been successfully treated and
brought through all right, although
several of the patients seemed to develop
the disease in the most malignant form.
The average cost to the county for each
case during the fourteen months and
maintaining the pest house has averaged
1861 IS per month since November 90
This is Il comparati lively low average and
the county commissioners and health
officials are TO be congratulated on the
great X duction in the expense account
and the success With which the patients
were handled. Not n single death out OF
a total of 125 cases is a very good rec
ord.
The average cost of taking care of each
patient now is less than it ever has beer

eide Legal Point.

The proposed improvement OF the alley IN

streets, Pennsylvania avenue and + street.
was again discussed before the District
Commissioners yesterday afternoon. 1t
will be recalled that Wednesday Of last
week the Commissioners convened to hear
any objections which might be made to the
proposed improvement, the paving Of the
alley and its regarding. On behalf Of Mr.
H. X. Willard, the owner of the Kellogg
building, street between 14th and 18th.
Mr.. Jere M Wilson objected to the pro-
posed regarding of the alley, did Mr..

aiding the engineer department to furnish

That Alliance Talk,
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 Inc tult0r OF Inc Evening Star:
The motive for pricipitating a scare over
European trade alliance against this coun-
try is not foreign, but domestic There is
nothing serious in it, nothing practicable
so far as foreigners are concerned It is
only the sklrmish line Of possible attack
of American free traders on the Dingley
tariff. 1t is an attempt by that ever rest
less and always impracticable class who
have ever sought to put down the brakes
on the car of Industrial progress, to create
prejudice against the American system
and, If possible, force a repetition OF the
Cleveland panic, which cost the country
nearly as much as the civil war.
Trade, foreign or domestic is not con-
Quoted on sentimental lines. Foreign trade
Is not barter. The country we buy pro-
portionally the least Of we sell the most to
because the goods are cheapest and an
absolute necessity. The German exclu-
sion Of American meats is business, not
hate. on the part Of the agrarianS for the
building up Of home production, and our
tariff has nothing to do with the competi-
ton they dread.
Reciprocity is being used for the same
purpose by the enemies Of our industrial
development. The Dingley act was not a
measure of qualification in providing for
protection and for killing it by reciprocity.
1t gave authority to reduce customs rates
on non-competing goods. Instead Of which
the most serious inroads upon some Of our
main industries have been attempted. Ar
gentina, with more sheep than any other
country in the world. and water transpor-
tation to New York and Boston cheaper
than that from our own western mountain
areas, is able to supply all our outside de-
mand for wool. and the treaty cuts down
the tariff 20 per cent with no compensat-
ing advantage to wool growers and little
to any one else. It Is a dead give-away,
and a slap in the face Of a class that lost
$175,O0O0OO in three years OF free wool.
SIS OOO, 600 in the price of wool, $40 co., 600
in the value Of mutton and $6O0O0,OOc in
reduced value Of flocks, according to Cleve-
lands Secretary Of Agriculture.
These are the reasons why these treaties
are moribund why the Senate refuses to
ratify. Let them die II they are to be
made the means Of insidious undermining
of our protective system ]. r. DODGE.
