LIVERY STABLE ON A
RESIDENCE STREET

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
The order of the District Commission
ers forbidding the location of automo-
bile livery stables on residence streets.
except by the permission Of IS per cent
of the residents Of the block, is good
order. although it comes too late now
for some poor people.
Now I will quote you a case of Horse
Stable" a permit for the erection Of
which was granted by a former Board of
Commissioners. 10 be baiIt on a resi-
dent street, and which played the mis-
chief with property values on said street
I refer to the stable erected some three
years ago Oh Randolph Street, near First
Street northwest.
This stable is for the use OF a con-
tractor. who houses some twenty OF
more horses and mules therein. and with
his outfit of wagons, carts. plows. etc,
strung out on the adjoining lots. forms
anything but an inviting appearance to
the vicinity. The writer begs to state
that after years OF labor, economy, and
denial, he saved up enough money to
purchase just one lot on Randolph Street
bic now stands. with the expectation
that some time in the future. before he
got too old. he would be enabled to put
up a little house thereon But, 10 and
behold, here comes along the man and
builds his stable and with his horses.
mules, and paraphernafia has actually
killed the street as a residence street for
good and all, and the houses that were
erected upon it previous TO the stable
have fallen third in value since that
time The same is the case with the va
cant ground, for it is a fact that the lot
which ! own and which was valued at 50
cents per foot will now only bring 40
cents per foot. so you see this stable has
knocked US all out on Randolph Street.

HOW YELLOW FEVER

Surgeon Grubbs Presents a Report on
Mosquitoes.

Passed Assistant Surgeon s B GTubbs,
OF the Public Health and Marine Hospi-
tai Service, has reported to Surgeon
General Wyman, that vessels are danger
Gus factors in the transmission Of yellow
fever because they often carry the steg-
omia fasciata, or yellow fever mosquI-
TO. from infected ports, and because, con
tTary to the old belief. a vessel moored
q short distance from the land may be-
come infected with yellow fever These
conclusions were reached by Dr. GTubbs
after an investigation of every vessel ar
irving al Gulf Quarantine Station. from
July / 1902, until November. This sta
tion was selected TO make these obseTva-
tions because It IS ten miles from the
mainland. and because vessels bound
here DO not pass near land, and so rare

There il a local incident which deserves
notice, and more than that, which deserves
a warm commendation, and that is the as
sistanee granted to the widow ana family
Of the man who was recently murdered at
East Montpelier. It has only just been
made public and then not through the
ones who were instrumental in doing it.
We refer to the lifting Of the mortgage on
the little place at East Montpelier which
shelters the family Of the late Peter Yor-
ron and the paying up of the insurance for
five years to come. 1t was, indeed, a
kindly act on the part of those who were
thoughtful enough to start the movement
and as gracious on the part Of those men
who contributed SO that the idea was car
ried out II was done in the best Of spirit
and was received by the widow in the
same. and It carried with it no sense Of
obligation, whatever. L Is true that the
family is greatly indebted to those who
assisted her, but it was done with no de-
sire for reward and, in fact, probably
would not have been known to the public
II the men themselves had had their way.
What the incident illustrates particularly
Is the generosity and whole-heartedness Of
the average working man Of Barre, for
with one exception the 1876 names on the
list Of contributors were working men
stone cutters. blacksmiths, polshers and
other kinds Of laborers in the granite in
dustry. The act is a clear index to
characteristic trait Of the average work
ing man Of Barrea spirit Of gener-
osity.

Lair IN a CAGE and .SIcsO Fbe
-gaJage BeaSf.

The largest. dercest and most destruc.
tive jaguar that ever invaded southern
Arizona has just been killed by dar-
ing Mexican hunter who ventured into
this savage beasts lair, a cave in the
mountain side, fred eight shots from
two six shooters into the animals head
and shoulders and with a rope dragged
out the ferocious brute while he wa-
yet alive.
This immense jaguar is the sixth Of
his species killed in Arizona in the
past twenty years, but he is larger than
any yet slain, measuring a little over
ten feet from tip to tail and weighing
fully 400 pounds.
The Mexican. hunter who possessed
the boldness TO invade the lair of this
feroeious beast and lay him low is Pan
clio Ybarra, a scout, hunter and trap,
per of Arizona.
Ybarra was leading Professor Lusk,
a naturalist, through a wild and rough
country in the Santa Atascoso noun
tains Of southern Arizona, when one
day the Mexican guide discovered in
the sands of deep gorge fresh tracks
Of monstrous size which he at once rec
ognized as those Of a jaguar.
The professor and his guide had
knelt down to examine the tracks
when they heard the sagebushes crack
above them and, looking up, saw the
jaguar come down the hillside and en-
ter the mouth of a cave, which was evil
IDENTIFY his lair.
. Instantly two rife shots rang out, but
they were too late, for the animal had
lodged into the cave.
The Mexican hunter and the natural
list climbed up the mountain side to the
mouth of the cave and built fire at
the entrance to the jaguars lair in a
vain effort to smoke him out.
With rifles pointed at the entrance
] they waited for three hours, but the
prize which they sought refused to
show himself, and the naturalist was
about TO give up the jaguar as lost to
him, for the night was fast falling,
when Ybarra announced his intention
of going into the cave after the beast
Mr.. Lusk attempted to dissuade his
! guide from trying to carry out such a
foolhardy purpose, but the Mexican
was determined,
He borrowed the scientists six shoot
I er, pushed it into his belt, and, with
: his own six shooter held in one hand
and burning branch Of ocotilla in the
other, he crawled into the cave.
The burning ocotilla made a bright
Z flame, which lit up the interior OF the
cave. Ybarra had advanced about IF
teen feet on his hands and knees wher

he came to a turn in the wall and saw
the eyes of the jaguar glaring at him
out Of the darkness just ahead.
Pushing the torch forward, he ad-
vanced until within five feet OF the an
imal when he fred the first shot, the
bullet piercing the head just under the
right eye. Ybarra followed with five
shots in quick succession, but the beast
still kept his feet, and the bold hunter
emptied two chambers Of the second
six shooter into the animals head and
shoulders before he began to stagger
The savage creature gave d terrible
cry and fell back on his launches
while Ybarra forced the loop OF the
lasso around one Of the animals fore
feet with the burning stick Of ocotilla.
Backing out Of the cave, he tried to
drag the animal after him, but the
jaguar needed no urging. Instead he
advanced quickly on the Mexican, but
just as he was prepared TO pounce
upon his enemy at the mouth of the
cave the jaguar succumbed to his
many wounds and fell over dead.
