were officially adytsedgthat an examination
of the premises tn question revealed the
fact that the work was being done in vio-
lation of the buflding regulations IT is
said that the walls OF the buildings had
been raised to a height of A feet whereas
the regulations require that walls of that
thickness (nine inches shall be limited to
35 feet in height. Mr.. 1. w. Caldwell, a
contractor, wrote to the Commissioners in
explanation of the matter and asked an
investigation. Upon the recommendation Of
Captain Beach. the Engineer Commissioner,
the District Commissioners have decided to
inform Mr.. Caldwell that the intent OF the
regulations on the point at issue is SO clear
and well known among builders and brick
layers that they can see no excuse for his
misinterpretation OF their requirements,
and must insist that the building be
changed at once to conform to the regula-

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
l notice in Thursdays Star the statement
with regard to the reburial of nine Amer
lean soldiers who were killed at the battle
of Lundy's Lane in the war of 1872, and
that the Canadian troops are to unite with
ours in doing honor to them. / was spe-
cially interested in reading this because
my father participated in that battle. For
tunately, he escaped the fate of the 100
who were killed in that battle, besides
eleven officers. In the present state Of
good feeling between our country and the
Canadians it is quite possible they would
consent to our erection of a monument
there to the memory of our American SOL
diers; and If 1t Is proper that monuments
be raised in the United States to those who
sought to destroy the Union it certainly
would seem proper for us to erect a monu-
ment to the memory of the men who gave
their lives for the government.

one grain. 1t being stated that the guam
tity is sufficient for six hours use. The
quantity stated in the article in question is
in proportion to the bismuth to be used

by your correspondent. In the event of
such a formula being promiscuously used
and applied to freely secreting mucous
membrane instead of hot coffee before rls-
ing something more tangible and grue-
some in shape would perhaps occasionally
be needed. In an article of this sort ad-
dressed to the laity for general use care
full avoidance should be made in the recon-
mendation of drugs and their alkaloids. and
particularly of opium, of which morpha is
the chief alkaloid. Common colds so prev
alent in this variable climate recurring SO
frequently in the individual and being at
tendant wit hso many minor discomforts,
easily induce when drugs are used, the
drug habit. And advice should be for the
avoidance rather than the use of this class
