When il was first decided by the Mer-

not justify the outlay So

and work on the present structure COM
menced. The new building towers high
above its nearest ne!ghbors 1t is con-
structed of buff brick and is said to be
absolutely fireproof.

Is more common than we may think, II
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-

the term as an insult The fact of this
gluttony is marked by its consequences.

Substitute Measure Submitted.

While it differs from the present bill
largely in its greater elaboration OF de-
tail it supplies twolomissions in the pend
ing bill which seem TO be important:
First, it authorizes certain officers to
act as members Of the proposed board in
the absence of the officers regularly as
signed to that duty. SO that in the alb
sence Of any particular officer or officers
by reason of illness7o or otherwise. the work
of the board need not be interfered with.
Second IT provides specifically for the
enforced improvement, or vacation, de-
molition, and removal of buildings owned
by minor children or persons OF unsound
mind, or the title to which is in litiga-
tion. The reason for the first provision
is manifest.
The specific provisions relative to the
condemnation of buildings, the title to
which is in litigation OF vested in luna
tics or minor children are necessary. be-
cause edoffthe frequency with, which prop
erty is allowed to become 'dilapidated and
unfit for habitation for the very reason
that the title is SO involved or vested, and
because of the impracticability of secur-
ing the correction of such conditions by
ordinary process.

BOARD 10 CONDEMN
UNSANITARY BUILDINGS
Substitute Bill Offered by the
Health Officer.
SENT TO COMMISSIONERS
Dr.. Woodward of Opinion That Authority
to Act in Such Cases Should Be Vested
in Some Officer or Governmental Board
Objectionable Feature of Measure.

DR.. William C. Woodward, the Health
Officer. has submitted to the District
Commissioners report on Senate bill
S2i4, Offering in its place a substitute
bill, which to his mind more nearly meets
the requirements of the conditions which
it is intended to regulate.
The bill in question provides for Great
ing board for the condemnation of I'M
sanitary buildings in the District of CO.
lumbia.
DR.. Woodward's Statement.
DR.. Woodward submits detailed state
ment upon the bill and the proposed sub
stitute. and recommends that both be
submitted to the City Solicitor for an
opinion. The statement follows:
Even the most hurried visit to certain
parts of this District will disclose build
ings which cannot be inhabited without
detriment to the health of the occupants,
and possibly few which are dangerous
even to persons living in the vicinity.
Manifestly authority to require the repair
or the alternative vacation, demolition,
and removal of such structures should be
vested in some officer or governmental
board. The bill now under consideration
is intended to confer such authority on a
board created by. it to have supervision
over such matters.
This bill is identical in its provisions
with bills which were introduced into pre-
vious Congresses, and which were favor
ably reported upon by me. A further
study of this subject, however, has con-
vinced me that this bill is rather more
general in some Of its provisions than
law of this kind should be, and l have,
therefore, prepared draft of a substitute
measure which l submit herewith.

BRYAN ON MONEY QUESTION.
hccesstons to Gold standard Countries
Wiil icmhamce Values,

Mexico City, Dec. 26.-The papers all
comment on the arrival of w. J. Bryan
here, but it is understood that his visit
is merely one Of pleasure and recrea-
ton. He is accompanied by his wife
and children. Speaking on the silver
question, Mr.. Bryan said:
while India has suspended the COIN
age Of silver, she still uses silver as her
money, and England coins a large num-
Der Of rupees annually for India S
needs. If Mexico were to adopt the
gold standard it would reduce still fur
ther the price Of silver, and if Mexico,
in spite of being a large producer of
silver, were to discard that metal as
the standard money, it is not improba-
BILE that India and China might be led
by the same influences to do the same
thing. While this is only speculation,
it Is a possibility that must be consid-
cred. An addition of seven hundred
million of people to the present gold
using population of the world would
cause an enormous demand for gold
over and above the present demand.
No, one can estimate accurately the eff
feet of such a demand on the purchas-
ing power of gold, but it could hardly
fail materially to reduce prices and en-
hance the value of money and fixed in
vestments."

TO DIVIDE TOWN OF ORANGE
IMPORTANT COMMITTEE MEET
ING HELD LAST NIGHT.

To Consider she AdvisabiIity of Having
West Haven Made Into a Separate
Town-OmciaIs of the Town Heard
Committee ygiM Formulate a Report.
An important meeting was held in the
town hall of West Haven yesterday
evening to discuss the advisability of
making the borough of West Haven a
separate town. The meeting is the re-
suit Of growing sentiment in the To-
cality that as West Haven contains
most of the schools together with all i'm
portant business interests of the pres
ent town of Orange it is high time it
was accorded a separate township gov
ernment. There is no doubt that this
contemplated division VIII cause con-
siderable ill feeling between the upper
and lower sections, but there is much
to be said in favor of the change, ac-
cording to those who have it most at
heart
1t is claimed that none OF the suburbs
of New Haven have enjoyed such a
phenomenal growth as this borough, it
having more than quadrupled in popu-
lation within the last thirty years In
that time many stores have been locat-
ed there and its shore line rejOices in
some of the most attractive summer
cottages and villas along the coast. Nor
has it's popularity been confined to
those who wished to make Of it sum-
mer resort merely, since large numbers
of citizens of New Haven have signified
a prediction for this healthful locality
as a permanent residence and now pre-
fer to carry on their city affairs with
the aid of excellent street railway facil-
tiles. From this 1t will be seen that
the ultimate separation of West Haven
from the township of Orange is merely
a matter of time at any rate and it is
claimed by some that the concensus of
opinion among the leading citizens is
that considerations of public policy de-
mand that it be done at once. The meet
ing last night consisted of the members
of the committee appointed last Octo-
Der at the town meeting and the officials
of Orange, whom they invited. The
former consisted of DR.. J. F. Barnett,
John Brown Stiles, d. Woodruff, Wei
lington Andrews, and Charles Smith.
They will consider the question and
make report which will be submitted
to public town meeting.
If the people of the town are in favor
of the change the sanction of the gen.
eral assembly would have to be obtain
ed before West Haven could change its
form of government

CANCELLATION OF TIE BOERS
WARM WORDS OF FRIENDSHIP
By MIR. CHAMBERLAIN.

British Colonial Secretary in His First
Speeches in south Africa Emphasizes
the Good Feeling Held by the British
for the BurEers-Hand Extended TO

60 Figh; in SomaIiiand Accepted.
Durham Natal, Dec. 26.-Colonial Sec
retary Chamberlain and Mrs. Chamber
lain, who left Portsmouth, England, No
vember 25, on board the armored cruiser
Good Hope, landed here at 1890 this
morning. They received a warm well
come from large crowds Of people.
The long speeches made by Mr..
Chamberlain in the course of the re-
ception functions were notable for their
strong tone Of conciliation and which,
as expressing his confidence in Lord
Milner, British high commissioner in
South Africa Bearing in mind, SEEM
ingly, the rumors that his visit would
lead to the displacement of Lord Miner,
Mr.. Chamberlain declared his belief
that his visit would have the effect of
strengthening the hands of Lord Miner
who, he hoped. would be as great in
Cancellation as he had been in the main
tenance of the rights Of the empire.
Referring to the war the colonial sec
retary said the Dutch and the British
had fought in courageous rivalry. Be-
tween the two races, not kindred in ori-
gin or nature, such a struggle for SUI
premaey had been inevitable. From
that struggle two proud and kindred
races would grow in mutual respect, ap-
probation and lasting friendship.
"Victor and vanquished," said Mr..
Chamberlain, "bravely played their
parts. We scorned to glory in our tri-
umph; the enemy need fear no humilia-
tons in their defeat. Let us see, as Bri-
tons worthy of the name, that nothing
be done to revive the animosities of the
past. We must give our new fellow
subjects equality of position with our
selves. We ask however, something in
return; it is with them that the issue
lies. We hold out our hand and ask
them to take. it without thought of the
past, but frankly and in the spirit in
which it is offered"
Mr.. Chamberlain elaborated his theme
with eloquence and was loudly cheered.
He announced incidentally the accept
ance of the Beers offer to fight in So
midland

DIR. Beips Successful Experiments yvith
Kite @1

Washington, Dec. 26.--Dr. Alexander
Graham Bell, who has just returned to
Washington from his summer home in
Cape Breton Island, tonight made the
following statement in connection with
reports that have appeared in the pub
lie prints that he has envented flying
machine: II
''The newspapers have been prema-
5ture in announcing that have been at
work upon a flying machine. 7 haven't
any flying machine at all, and have not
been trying to make one. I am, OF
course, interested in the problem and
have come to the conclusion that
properly constructed flying machine
should be capable of being f1noWn as a
kite if anchored to the ground, and that
conversely. properly constructed kite
should be capable of use as flying
machine if provided with suitable
means Of propulsion. My experiments
have had as their object the building of
a kite of solid construction capable of
carrying up, in a moderate breeze, a.
weight equivalent to that of man and
engine, and so formed that it could be.
suitable for use as the body Of q flying
machine and with supporting surfaces
so arranged that when the kite is cut
loose it will come down gently and
steadily, and land uninjured. : have
successfully accomplished this, but do
not care, at the present time, to make
public the details of construction.

DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED.
Peoples Coal Compnny of Knoxville
Files Complaint.

Washington, Dec. 26.-R. w. Austin
of Knoxville, Tenn, trading as the
Live and Let Live Coal Co, whose
profits, he states, are donated to the
Knoxville Women's Christian Associa-
ton for the poor, has filed a COM
plant with the Interstate commerce
commission, alleging that the Southern
railway is discriminating in the supply
of cars for the coal trade. Mr.. Austin
says his company's charges are greatly
below the extortionate prices eXacted
by the other coal dealers of Knoxville,
and that these dealers have formed a
combination and fixed a schedule of
prices and agreed not to sell below this
schedule The complaint alleges that
in furnishing cars for the transporta-
ton of coal to Knoxville and other
points the defendant company is dis
eliminating against the complainant,
the owners of the mines shipping to
the complainant, the consumers, and
the city of Knoxville. An investigation
is asked for.

COMMENT IN LONDON.
Reference of Trouble TO The Hague Dis
u,enses Govern m ent's Opponents.

London, Dec. 2.-Except by the op-
ponents of the government who view
it as a virtual defeat and as discredit-
ing the ministry, the latest phase of
the Venezuelan trouble has been well
coined very lukewarmly. Arbitration
by President Roosevelt had been antic-
ipated as so desirable an issue from a.
difficult business that his refusal, which
is regarded as final, has caused keen
disappointment. 1t is foreseen that,
even if satisfactory conditions to the
submission of the disputes TO The
Hague court can be arranged, this
method will entail endless and Weari-
some details, with no assurance that at
the end President Castro still will be in
power, or Venezuela in the mood to
abide by the decision of The Hague. In
short, that element of guarantee which
would have accompanied President
Roosevelt's acceptance of the office of
arbitrator is now lacking. At the same
time it is readily admitted that, from
the American point of view President
Roosevelt has acted wisely in declining
to act.
The foregoing represents the general
drift Of newspaper comment this morn
ing. The only paper which really well
comes the decision to refer the Vene-
zuelan matter to The Hague is the rad
ical Daily News, which sees a chance Of
making arbitration once more repu-
table theory.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. HAN
New Phase im the Outrage at Pitts
burg, Kan.

Pittsburg, Kansas, Dec. 26--It is re-
ported that Joe Cooley, brother of
Montgomery Cooley. who was lynched
by mob here yesterday, is wounded
and in hiding at Weir City, Kansas,
and later investigation of the trouble
between Officer Hinkle and the Cooley
brothers tends to show that Joe and not
the man who was lynched fired the shot
that killed the policeman. Two other
brothers, Gus and Jess, are in Jail at
Girard charged with being implicated
in the murder. The mother of the God
ley boys is said to have asked physi-
clan here to treat Joe for a gunshot
wound in the neck. She would not tell
the whereabouts of her son, and the
doctor refused to go with her.
