UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

Statement Concerning DIR. Stoddard's
Suit Against homeopathic Hospital.
The suit filed yesterday by Attorneys
Douglass Douglass to compel the Ma
tienal Homeopathic Hospital Association
of the District of Columbia to admit to that
Institution the patients of DR.. Leroy r.
Stoddard is based on an application to have
q patient admitted since the filing OF the
new charter by the institution. This appli-
cation was made August 8. when Dr. Stod-
dard was again told by the physicians in
charge that the board of trustees had or
dered that his patients should not be ad-
mitted
Attorneys Douglass & Douglass regard
the treatment of DR.. Stoddard by the hos
pital authorities as most extraordinary. In
that no charges have been preferred
against him. They say he was given tes-
timonial OF good character when he sew
cred his connection as assistant resident
phys ian of the institution in June, and
yet the authorities decline to admit his pa
tients, on the ground that the same reasons
which made it expedient to accept his res
ignation governed in the matter of declin-
ing to receive his patients at the institu-
ton.
The papers In the new suit are made re-
turnable September g. but the case will
probably not come up for trial for a reason
able time after that date. to allow the de-
tense time to prepare its case Attention
has been called to the fact that the new
charter of the hospital is identical with the
old one, with the exception Of a slight
change in it's name-the word Washington
being omitted-and the addition of the word
reputable in the paragraph which states
that physicians of any school may have
their patients admitted to the institution
for private treatment upon application.
DR.. Stoddard says he has no desire to
bring discredit on the institution in any
way. He feels that his character has been
publicly brought into question by the order
OF the hospital board in refusing him per-
mission to take private patients to the in
St1tution, and his attorneys state that the
case will be pushed with all possible vigor.
They add that the directors will be made to
explain exactly why they have taken ac-
tion against DR.. Stoddard, and what ground
they have for that action.
In speaking of his case to a Star reporter
today DR.. Stoddard said he had regretted
exceedingly that the trial of the case should
have been delayed SO long. This delay was
partly caused by the complications arising
through the expiration of the charter of
the hospital association. and partly owing
to change of attorneys
While have regretted the delay" con-
tfnued DR.. Stoddard. II feel that the work
which has been done by Mr.. Douglass in
accumulating material for the trial has
more than justified the loss OF time. / real
TIE that the public Is perhaps given an OPP
portunity to form prejudicial opinions In
view of the statement made by the ,attor-
ney for the hospital that the suit would
never be heard from again. but now that
the new suit has been filed 1 feel greatly
relieved

ROCKVILLE, Md, August r. 1901
since the two leading parties have placed
tneir county tickets in the field there has
Deen much speculation among politicians as
to the probable effect of the new election
law upon upon the contest to be decided
In November. Unquestionably there is con-
siderable disaffection among the demo-
Gratis. and it is believed that the course
pursued by the prohibition party and the
Montgomery County Anti-Saloon League
will be favorable to the republicans, but
the great element of uncertainty which viii
keep all parties guessing until the votes
are counted Is the question as to the abil-
lty OK illiterate voters to learn to prepare
their tickets as they desire to cast them
Under the new law the names Of all candi-
dates Will appear upon the ballot in alpha
betical order. with the word democratic"
republican, or prohibition" as the case
may be. Immediately following each name

the entire list and place a cross mark op-
p0slte the name of each candidate for
whom he wishes to vote. Except in case of
physical disability or blindness he can have
no assistance. He is 70 be allowed seven
minutes In which to prepare his ticket. and
a single mistake or unnecessary mark of
any kind will invalidate his ballot
The registered vote of Montgomery coun-
ty is. in round numbers about 1000. of
whom about 300 are blacks The number
of initerates among the whites Is variously
estimated at from 600 to 800, while the
probable number Of illiterate blacks is in
the neighborhood of 800. Practically the
whole of this latter vote belongs to the re-
publican party, while of the GOO to 800
white tlliterates something like four-fifths
are democrats.
Every effort will be made by each party
to teach its lliterates to properly mark
their tickets, but 1t is thought that large
number will fail, in spite of all the previous
instruction that can be given them An
advantage will accrue to the republicans
from the fact that the black man so highly
will make every possible effort to learn to
cast his ballot correctly. while the Hitter
ate white man. be he democrat, is offend
ed with his party for having passed the
law, or is perhaps too proud to submit to
instruction. and will not undertake to vote

Laurel Struggling With the Plans for
Obtaining Water supply.
Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
LAUREL. Nd. August 13 1901.
If the proposed plan of procuring the
water supply for this town from the lake
on the Van Tyne farm is carried out the
authorities, it is said, will be brought face
to face with a deficit of something like
81 goo. The cost of this portion of the sys-
tenn complete. it Is estimated, will reach
about $12.2O0 while the town has only
about $4,000 available for the completion
Of this work. The plan has not been def
nitely settled upon by the water board.
The engineer for the town is now engaged
in figuring the cost Of another plan SUBJ
mitted at the last meeting Of the water
board and one which, it Is thought will
greatly reduce the cost. 1t provides for the
building up of the lake, the erection Of
pumping station at or near the conjunction
of Bear and Crow branches, near the rail-
road, the water to be secured from the
lake by pipe line to the pumping station
and also a line from the latter point to the
main on Washington avenue. While the
cost Of the erection Of the pumping station
at the last mentioned place will be greater
than the cost Of the addition to the present
electric light power house, there would be-
1t is thought. great saving In the matter
OF laying the pipes. as under this PROPOSE
ton there would be little or no cuts and
smaller pipe could be used. By this plan
fall of thirty-six feet will be secured.
About 400 feet of piping will be necessary
to carry out this program, but the pro-
moter is Of the opinion that saving will
be made which will be more than sufficient
to carry out the project.
The latter plan also provides for scheme
by which, should an accident happen to the
line between the lake and the pumping sta
tion. water could be procured from the
stream at hand by means of a suction
pump, which could be utilized for protec-
ton against fire. In the former plan, 1t is
pointed out, should an accident occur to
the line between the lake and the pumping
station the town would be left without any
protection and would be completely cut off
from its supply.
The report of the engineer is expected to
be ready for the action of the board at the
meeting to be held tomorrow night

Dispute About Lady Settled by Combat
ants In Balloons.
Somebody has asked whether a duel
has ever been fought in the air. One
OF the most curious Of dusls, says Tit
Bits, was the balloon duel in France.
which was fought in 1903. The COM
batants were M. de Grandpre and M.
lie Pique, who had quarreled-about
lady, Of course. This lady was one
Mile. Tirevit, an actress at the Imperi-
al Opera. On the appointed day M. do
Grandpre entered the car of one bal
loon, with his second. and M. lie Pique,
with his second, mounted the other in
the Garden Of the Tuileries. before an
immense crowd of admiring spectators.
When all was ready the ropes were cut
and the balloons shot upward for a dis
lance Of about half mile above the
earth. The wind being light, they
were able to keep the distance of about
eighty yards between each other with
which they started. On reaching the
agreed altitude the signal was given to
fire, M. lie Pique missed, but M. de
Grandpre's ball went through the silk
OF the other balloon, which immedi-
ately collapsed. The car descended
with frightful velocity, and both M. lie
Pique and his second were dashed to
pieces. The balloon Of the victor con-
tinued to ascend, and M. de Grandpre
came back to earth some leagues from
Paris.

BACHELORS AND BABIES.

Madison, Wis.-Two bills are soon
to be introduced in the legislature to
encourage the development of popu-
lation in Wisconsin. They are to be
offered by Assemblyman Sarau, and
it is Understood that they come from
some prominent woman in Oshkosh.
They propose tax on bachelors and
a reward for children. They will
probably make Sarau as famous as
the anti-corset bill made Mr.. Dag.
get in the last legislature. One Of
the bills is entitled ga bill to en-
courage matrimony." That is the
bill taxing bachelors. It provides
that each asses sor shall make a list
of all the unmarried men in his dis
trict over the age of thirty, and
against the name Of each shall be as
sessed a tax of $40. Widowers and
divorced men are to be exempt. The
second bill is entitled GA bill to en-
courage the development of popula-
tion." That offers bounty on chill
dren. 1t provides an annual premium
to the mothers of large families, az
follows: The mothers of six living
children, $40; seven children $19,
eight children $S5, eleven children
$50, twelve or more children $S5. The
mother must make affidavit to the
number of her children, and the afi-
davit must be supported by three
reputable citizens, and the mother
and all her family must have resided
in the state for period Of five years
before making application for the re-
ward.
