LlNcoLN's ASSASSINATION.
The National Calamity Recalled by
Claim before COnEress.

The assassination OF President Lincoln
is recalled by claim which has been pre-
sented to Congress by Jacob Rittersba ch
of S11 E street northwest. The claimant,
who served during the civil war as a men,
Der of Company H, 127th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, was stage carpenter at Ford S
Theater on 10th street the night of the
national tragedy. AS Booth, the assassin.
leaped from the box and was running to-
ward the exit leading to the rear alley.
Rittersbach claims he seized the fleeing
man by the throat and tried to stop him.
Booth, however, threw him off and con-
unued his flight, pursued by Rittersbach.
Had he turned out through the alley
leading to F street." said the old stage
carpenter today, II would have caught the
fellow by his leg and dragged ham from
his horse. Instead he went out to f street
through vacant lot between 9th and 10th
Streets
Rittersbach's claim is for the loss OF his
Kit OF carpenters tools and personal prop
erty, which disappeared from the theater
during the great excitement following the
assassination. He was promptly arrested
as government witness and incarcerated
for thirty days in the old Capitol prison.
1t was while he was under arrest, he says,
that his property was stolen from behind
the stage at Ford's Theater.
During the trial of Mrs. Surratt and the
others which followed Rittersbach was
guarded back and forth from the prison
to the court by two soldiers with loaded
muskets and fixed bayonets. His claim
was presented through Representative
GroSvenor

Asthma and CONSUMPTION Cured

Thousands Of physicians admit the truth and
heartily indorse the new discovery OF the Drs
KOCH who have for years studied night and day
perfecting their wonderful treatment for the cure
of these diseases The above represents the Koch
Inhalation, the most wonderful for lung dis
eases the world has known.
If these doctors prove to you that this treatment
is positively successful would II not be cowardly
in them-aye, more. criminal-if they did not make
those means known to the suffering public in the
most effective way possible?
The doctors who treat these diseases at their
institutions have for lifetime made deep and
searching study of all lung diseases, including
Catarrh, Asthma and Bronchitis, and thousands
of patients in many cities who have been given up
as incurable are today living monuments of their
success.
The old method of injecting the tuberculine med
icne is little used now, but by the OF this
germ destroying medicine, tuberculine, combined
with healing oils, which thrown into oily
yapors, the lurgs healed These vapors can be
breathed into the air tubes Of the diseased lungs
and the lungs easily cured. The effect is
wonderful they heal up the places, kill the
poisonous germs and give new life TO patients
having lung diseases. The Washington Office is at

met in London last July indOrses DIR. Kochs new

CONDITION OF THE BOERs.
Address Descriptive of Affairs in
South African Republic.

The condition of the Beers in the British
reconcentrado camps in South Africa was
forcibly brought to the attention of large
audience last night by General Pearson at
an entertainment given in the Corcordia
Lutheran Church, Goth and G streets north
west
General Pearson, who is a representative
here of the Boar republic, was introduced
by Rev. Paul NJ Menzel, and in the course
of his address he said it was his intention
simply to call attention to certain facts
which, because of British censorship. We're
not generally known. He said that in the
last six months, according to English re-
ports, 1894 persons had died in these
camps and the total number of burghers
killed on the field of battle in two years
was only 1000. The speaker said there was
no logical reason for the detention of the
Boer women and children in tnese camps lby
the British.
The facts regarding our army now in the
field said General Pearson, have been
greatly distorted. We have, as a matter of
fact, at the present time about 10000 burgh-
erS in the field. 1t is a far better army than
ever before
General Pearson said in closing, that LAS
sure as the sun will rise tomorrow in the
east We will free South Africa.
The entertainment at wnch these senti-
ments were expressed was given for the
benefit of the Boer women and children
now in British camps. A petition was
signed among those present that a resolu-
tion of sympathy for the Beers be passed
py congress and a copy of it sent by the
President to Great Britain, although it was
stated in the preamble of the document
that there is no intention to suggest any
ling to Congress which could be considered
as an international affront.

To Cool the Air at ST. Louis.

Te the Editor Of The Evening Star:
T notice that, according to New York
paper, 1t is proposed to cool the air at the
cooler air from 500 or 600 feet above and
filling the buildings and grounds with it.
According to the published statement the
idea is to build tower or standpipe of the
above height and by means of fans or
blowers draw the cooler air from above
down and reduce the temperature below
from ten to fifteen degrees. If the idea is
practicable and will reduce the tempera-
ture as stated it will be a grand thing for
those who visit the fair; for unless St.
Louis has changed since 1 was there In
1S49 it certainly is one of the hottest cities
not a new one, as it was suggested by w.
T. Steiger of Washington city twenty years
ago. He not only had the idea, but he
made elaborate calculations as to the size
and number of the fans, the number of
horsepower required to operate them and
the number of tons of coal required for the
steam engines necessary to draw down
enough of the cooler air to cool the city of
Baltimore, where he formerly resided II
the scheme were practicable it would prove
one of the greatest, If not the greatest, at
traction Of the fair. But as the tempera-
ture Of the air decreases but one degree
for each 352 feet in elevation, under ordi-
nary circumstances. it will be seen that to
get air that is ten degrees cooler they
would have to get 1t from a height of $500
feet, and for fifteen degrees g. $50 feet ele-
vation. 1t lis, of course. possible that at
times stratum of much cooler air might
exist at the proposed height of 500 or 1 600
feet, but that is not to be depended upon,
and hence fear the only cooling effect of

The Federal City.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your edition of Saturday you review
the two volumes entitled washington, the
Capital City," by Rufus r. Wilson. Your
criticism and praise of the work are both
prompt and worthy. From a circular,
which was mailed me by the publishers
they note that Some few years ago, all
most by accident, there fell into the au-
thor's (Mr. r. r. Wilson's) hands some de-
tails of the unhappy later life of L Enfant
the gifted and unrewarded engineer who
planned the city of Washington. The SUBJ
ject was so interesting that Mr.. Wilson be-
gan to gather ali available information re-
garding L'EnfantS singular life story and
it's connection with the founding of WASH
ington He undertook an exhaustive exam
ination of every record upon the growth
and the factors in the growth of the fed
eral capital, and uncovered a wealth of
material etc" Thus it was easy to believe
that at last much new and accurate infor-
nation would be Forthcoming concerning
the appointment and the removal of the
much-discuSsed LEnfant. In securing the
books l was more than pleased with the
expectancy In store, when l read in the
preface entitled Forward that mo pains
had been spared to assure accuracy of de-
tall
The reading of the first chapter shattered
all my hopes Of accuracy of historical re-
search and the bringing to light of new de-
planning of the capital city. In speaking
of the difficulties encountered by LEnfant
with Daniel Carroll of Rock creek, the
commissioner and Daniel Carroll Of Dud-
dington, whose house was built In the mid
die of New Jersey avenue and torn down
by order of l. Enfant, the author most woe
fully gets things mixed. 1t is genuine
pleasure to see L'Enfant spoken of as chief
of engineers. who received his appointments
under direct command of Washington the
commander-in-chief, but it is unfortunate
to have the author say that LEnfant con-
tinued to live in the city he had planned.
when it is historic fact that he lived at
Warburton on the Potomac, and Green
Hill, Prince Georges county, from about
1S14 to 1925, the time of his death. 1t is to be
regretted also that an author Of Washing
ton, the Capital City," should not know the
exact location of the grave of L'Enfant.
but should place it in Bladensburg, a place
at least mile and a half from where he is
buried There are other points which could
be controverted, nevertheless the volumes
are of much value and are printed and
written in most attractive style.
