BETTER SNOW LAW.
Major SyIveSter's Desires VIII soon
he Met by Congress

Major Sylvester recently wrote 20 the
District Commissioners. calling attention
10 the difficulties encountered by the Po-
lice Department in the enforcement OF the
snow law, ana suggesting that legislation
be secured from Congress which would
enable the department TO reach better
results.
lie stated that mis- departne4 found
great difficulty IN enforcing the law where
the sidewalks were adjacent to vacant
lots. The department was Obliged to pro
cure the name Of the owner, and the as
SCISSORS records had 10 be consulted. but
very often transfers Of property might
have been made. and IL was impossible TO
secure the name OF the rightful owner
Il the District were authorized TO clean
away the snow from these places and the
expenses could be assessed against the
property. an appropriation would be re-
quired 10 pay the labor without which
tho work could not be done.
For these reasons Major Sylvester urged
upon the Commissioners the necessity Of
asking Congress to pass appropriate
legislation as soon as possible.
Mr.. Warner Stutler, Superintendent OF
Street Cleaning. IN reporting upon Major
SylVester's letter, calls attention 20 the
bill recently introduced in both houses Of
Congress covering the points raised. He
appeared before the House Subcommittee
on the District Of Columbia In reference
20 the bill and received assurances that
there would be action upon the bill at an
early day.

They refuse to celebrate cor
rect New Year Day despite his
explanation to them.

America were coolies. who came here to
work as laborers. Say they started from
China on the first day Of the third moon.
They counted one. two, three and so on,
paying no attention 10 the fact that at
the 1S0th meridian they lost one Gay.
AS a consequence when they arrived in
San Francisco they were one day behind,
and those that followed them 20 this
country made the same mistake.
when I came here as Minister five
years ago told the Chinese G San Fran
cisco CT their mistake. and issued a proc
lanation pointing it cut to them, and ad-
vising them to observe the correct day.
But some OF the 'highbinders' argued that
they had been celebrating New Year
day ahead for many years. and why
should they change,
4 also pointed out the mistake 10 the
Chincee here in Washington, and they
celebrated the correct day .gst ore year.
Why? Because IN that ar they lost
money IN thu conduct o. cl4if business
and held that the changing Of the New
Year Day had brought them bad luck"

KANKAKEE, Ills, Feb. The young
people Of Wellington, in Ircquois county,
are suffering from an epidemic OF laugh

has caused much distress.

days, until her father, not knowing what
else to do. dashed a glass Of cold water
in her face.

The shock had the desired effect, but
for long time the girl vas exceedingly
weak from the strain Of her four days Of
laughing
The second victim was Miss Rosa Butts,
aged fifteen. She was taken much the
same way as Miss Hamilton. but the cold
water cure had only temporary effect.
The merriment finally stepped. but not
until her condition had become alarming.
Could Not stop 20 Eat.
The third victim was a young man
named John Kimberlin, who laughed for
almost week and then only let up owing
to excessive weakness. The young people
were all similarly afflicted. and during
their hysterical attacks were unable to
eat or sleep, SO facilitating was the ef-
feet Of their ailment.
The utmost solemnity prevails in Vel
Hngton at present; anything calculated to
start even a mild laugh T. promptly sup

there shall be q finding adverse TO Ad-
