New Ravens Elms.

New Haven Corr. New York Tribune
II plans now in the minds of the park

innovation may come in the planting of
trees about the historic New Haven Green.
The fine Gordon of elm trees set out In 1892
by James Hillhouse on the green, which has
made this city famous as 1.-THE city Of
elnss.s, has decayed so rapidly in the last
few years and has been attacked so vi
cioHsiys by sthe elm tree beetle that over a
dozen of the finest specimens have already
been cut down. and within few weeks
four more are to go. 1t Is now proposed to
reset the green with a new tree, other than
an elm. and for that purpose investigation
Is to be begun to discover some tree that
can take the place OF the ems. This sug-
gestion was made at a conference of city
officials,
At present two rows of magnificent elm
most all Of the specimens being upward Of
a hundred years old. They were planted
about 1T92 by James Hillhouse the pur-
pose being rather to keep the sand from
shifting across the green than to beautify
the. city. Since that time the elms have
grown to magnificent proportions. and have
given to the New Haven Green fame
among tree lovers that no other public COM
mon in THIS country has attained. Old age.

Prof. Conn Of Wesleyan University in the Indepen-

The conclusions tend to show that vital
forces are only peculiar manifestations of
electrical and chemical forces. They sug-
gest to us that under the peculiar condi-
tons Of living protoplasm, muscles and
nerve being the organs that have been
chiefly studied hitherto, chemical and cleo
trical forces exhibit somewhat new mani
festations, and these new manifestations
are the characteristics Of what we call
VITAL 70 R:ihs
Nervous impulses are only modified cleo
trfcal phenomena, and muscle contractions
are simply physical changes produced in
muscle elements by new electrical and
physical conditions. If the manifestations
of nerves are only electrical notifications,
1t is manifest that vital phenomena have
been brought into very close association
with the general forces of nature
Further evidence In the future may dem
onstrate or may refute such position, but
certain it is that the interesting results al
ready obtained promise at least to bring
into closer relation the forces of the mani
mate world and the vital manifestations Of
living things. The new Investigations by
Prof. Loeb and his school are attracting the
greatest interest on the part of biologists
and SCIENTISTS because they show that bio
logical chemistry Is only phase of ordi-
nary chemistry. that physiology is to be
eventually understood In terms Of chemi-
cal and physical phenomena, and that vital
forces are only notifications Of forces that
we commonly do not call vital.

George and William Washington.

To the Editor Of The Evening STAR
In reply to the communication from
'Genealogist'' in Mondays Star. would be
glad to correct his errors In tracing the
lineal descent of Col. William Washington.
and would be pleased to hear from him
relative to the same. The emigrant John
Washington had two sons-John and Lau-
renee. Laurence being the grandfather OF
Gen. George Washington, much has been
written Of him. or his brother John, the
line Of COL William Washington. but little
has been said. Full mention. however, was
made of this line when, in May last, the
portrait of Col William Washington, copied
from the original OIL painting in Independ-
ence Hall, was placed at Mount Vernon by
his three great-nieces and three great
grandnfeces, with the note that he was
the son Of Bailey, who was the son OF
Henry, who was the son of John, the
brother Of Laurence, the grandfather Of
Gen. George Washington. This statement
was made from our family records and
wills, which we have back to the emigrant
John and admit Of no doubt whatever.
They are positively correct. We placed this
portrait of the grand old hero, whom Amer
leans will ever delight to honor, at Mount
Vernon, the home of his illustrious relative,
Gen. George Washington, because seeming
ly so fitting a place, Virginia being his ma
tive state. and we stated his lineage on the
back Of that portrait because We knew II
was indisputable, never dreaming it would
become a target for questioners.

WOMEN. AS OIL DIGGERs.
Officials Of Development Company of
Alabama

I'VE have in our state a corporation en-
gagged In large business of which doubt
not another like one can be found in the
United States or in the whole business
world said George :. Cochran Of De-
catur, Ala, to a Star man at the New
Willard today. Heretofore the news
paper cartoonist has been wont to picture
corporation as many headed octopus,
with horrible claws stretching out in every
direction. but in this instance it would
take a great painter to picture the women
on the board Of directors of an oil and
DEVELOPMENT company, an organization in
which not single man an be foun1 among
itz officers or directors.
This company was recently organized
among women of wealth and high social
position. The president Is the sister of the
lord mayor Of London, Sir Marcus Samuels
The vice president Is also London wo-
man. while the secretary and treasurer is
well known as a brilliant writer and an
enthusiastic geologist. All the ladies in
the company are wealthy and all the
American women are large land owners.
The women have great faith in their I'M
dertaking and expect to begin operations
with the aid and direction Of skilled en-
gineer and oil expert. All of the ma
chinery has been ordered to dig the wells
with, and it is expected the output will
be large"

The Ex-slaves Pension Scheme

To the Editor Of The Evening Star
see from the morning papers that there
was a meeting held at Samaritan Hall on L
street southwest to explain the ex-slave
pension bill. I want to correct a mistake
This meeting was held at the wrong place,
1t should have been held In the committee
room at the Capitol on pensions 1t does
seem unfair ttoj US that white men behind
this scheme should mislead the people who
do not understand the law governing PEN
sions and bounty. IT'S true we had an invi-
tation to attend the meeting, but as the
meeting was to be held In South Washing
ton some of the. citizens feel that 1t
wouldn't be safe to- attend the meeting. But
they would like to meet the parties before
the committee in the Senate. These ex-
slaves pension and bounty bills are sent out
broadcast by agents, and they read as If
they had passed Congress. was in meet
ing at Newbern, N c., where there were
over 400 people, and the Thurston bill was
read, and every one in the audience except
myself believed it had already passed.
Those in charge Of the meeting collected
money, and the people gave it freely-forty
cents head. I got the floor to explain to
the people that they were being deceived.
and I got in some dispute with the parties
and had to get out a warrant and have
them arrested for obtaining money under
false pretenses. This Hanna bill is the same
subject, and backed by the same parties.

TOURISTS TO Hawaii
Efforts Being Made in Honolulu to
Revive Interest Of Tourists -
In the Group.
Special Correspondents of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
HONOLULU, T. H, January ., 1903.
Hawaii wants tourists, and her commercial
bodies are taking active steps to secure them.
It is proposed to open headquarters in Homo
lulu, In San Francisco and in Los Angeles,
CAL, and to carry on an energetic cam
patgn throughout the country to bring the
attractions Of the islands to the attention
Of the travelling public. With this end In
view all sorts of advertising schemes are
being considered, and it is likely that
good deal WIN be done in the next few
months to attract tourists
The desire for tourists Is one Of Hawaii's
reasons for opposition to the idea of a ma
tional leprosarfa, as set forth In the Mitchell
Senate commissions report. If the leper
settlement Is made a national one, Hawaii
Will inevitably get the name Of "1eper
country The universal dread Of leprosy
Is such that reputation of this sort would
Keep people away from the Islands. The
average person does not know that there
are thirty miles of ocean between Honolulu
and the island on which the leper settle
ment is located. and that there are thou
sands OF residents of Honolulu who have
never seen leper in their lives and never
will. The average person has in his mind a
picture Of the islands all punched together
and all the same, and IL the national leper
settlement Is in Hawaii the islands will
naturally be leper country.
Years ago Hawaii had a tourist trade
that was quite large. Then there was the
monarchy and it's court to attract visitors
and it was an interesting little monarchy.
The court was easily approachable and the
brilliant scenes it supported naturally at
tracted the sightseer. The stops Of travel
ers In city mean lively business, for no
traveller fails to spend some money in any
city IN which he stops. Hawaii has almost
wholly lost this trade. 1t began falling off
when the native government was finally SUI
perseded by an American government. and
1t was forced to an utter stop when the
plague was reported in Honolulu and the
Hawaiian board Of health began a rigid
quarantine. Some tourists feared the
plague, but all Of them feared the quaran-
tine, for it was impossible for several
months to leave the country without SUBJ
hitting to pine days confinement under
medical supervision, and taking an injec-
ton of the Haffkine prophylactic. which is
decidedly unpleasant in it's effects. The
trade has never revived.
Honolulu associations discussing the tour
list business refer to the city of Los An
geles. which has more summer visitors
every year by a large margin than the
$4,000 population of Honolulu. 1t Is the
intention to try to divert some Of this travel
to the Hawaiian Islands. where there Ger
tainly are many strong attractions.

HORSES EAT MoLAssEs.
Said to Be Fed to About 5000 in
Brooklyn.

From the New York Tribune
between four thousand and five thousa nd
norses In. Brooklyn are being fed on mo-
lasses because 1t is cheaper and better than
oats This interesting and surprising state
ment was made by DR.. George H. Berns of
the Berns Veterinary Hospital in Adams
street. Brooklyn. at his home. in 18th street
near I'd avenue. Bay Ridge. last evening to
Tribune reporter.
I'VE are using molasses as a food for
horses very extensively" said Dr. Berns,
not only in my own hospital. but in a
number Of stables under our care profess
sionally. l find 1t most nutritious and d.
gestible food for hardworking draught
animals.
Horses in harness from twelve to four
teen hours day do not take time to mas
ticate and properly prepare dry oats and
other dry fodder, and the result Is that the
most Of 1t is expelled from the body with
out having been digested or assimilated;
therefore, they receive but little nutritive
value from their food. Oats must be con-
verted into starch, and starch must be con-
verted into glucose and sugar before they
can possibly he digested and assimilated
AS our animals, by reason of fatigue from
OVerwork and excessive hunger do not take
time properly to masticate and salivate
their food, it enters their stomachs in an
indtgestible condition and causes fermenta-
ton. gastric disturbances and COLES very
frequently.
"Moaasses, II properly diluted and mixed
with cut hay, bran and meal in proper pro-
portions, Is in a digestible condition and
ready for assimila ton the moment it en-
tiers the mouth. Its nutritive value Is, there
fore, quite apparent. 1t Is not only bet
ter and more nutritious food than oats,
but Is much cheaper in the end.
Il have been feeding on molasses about
one hundred horses of Arbuckle's sugar re-
finery for nearly two years past, and have
been feeding horses in my hospital on mo-
lasses and have been continually recon-
mending its use In many stables In Brook
lyn during that period. The cost is about
80 per cent less than the old system Of feed
ing" :.,t-IL.
DR.. Berns added that the proportions for
an ordinary express wagon horse, weighing
1,lO0 pounds, were one quart Of mo.asses
and three quarts Of water. mixed with two
quarts of cOrnmeal, four quarts of bran
and five pounds Of cut hay of good quality
The cornmeal, the bran and the hay were
mixed, the molasses and water were mixed,
and then the solids and the liquids were
mixed together. This mixture should be
fed to the horse three times a day, If in
doors. but II he IS out OF doors during the
day he should be fed oats in the middle Of
the day.
The doctor maintained that not only was
moiasses 81 per cent cheaper than oats, but
that 1t caused no digestive disturbances
and that horses fed on molaSses- would lay
on flesh faster than when fed On oats.

To the Editor of The Evening Star.


Referring to the article In your issue OF
the 18th instant in regard to the telephone
amendment, think you are in error ON GER
tain points. AS I understand the comprO-
mise, the telephone company agrees to pay
$4,000 to the Telephone Subscribers Assoc
citation to pay the attorneys and reimburse
the members who had contributed to the
expenses of the Injunction suits: and, further
they would allow those subscribers who
had taken out and maintained to this time
the Injunction suits to pay their old bills
at discount of so per cent but those SUBJ
scribers who dismissed their suits at the
request of the telephone company, and paid
their bills in full get no rebate.
The subscribers who signed what Is
known as the "Red-headed Contract" were
told they would stand on the same basis as
those who took out Injunction suits. These
contracts, in substance, provided that In
case the rates established by Congress were
declared legal. the telephone company
would refund the difference to the SUBJ
scriber. Under the present settlement, 1t
would seem that all subscribers who have
paid the high rates are left out in the cold,
while those few who maintained the injunc-,
ton suits get rebate, and in the mean
timeethe government will be required to pay,
the telephone company about $1300cO In
addition to what 1t has already paid. this
sum being the difference between the rates
established by Congress and those made
by the company. -
