AnaestheticS.

"The use of anaesthetics in sur
gerry" said a physician, "is regarded
by the general public as a new thing,
but anaesthetics, as a matter of fact,
we're known and used two thousand
years ago. Pliny tells about a stone
of Memphis that they crushed and
mixed with vinegar. This poultice
produced a local anaesthesia where it
was applied"

critical. The ambassador and Nine HengelmuAer
returned from brief visit to New-YOrh last week

said at the embassy tonight that the baronesss

WHITEWASH.

As we had expected. Assistant Corporation
Counsel Burr has found it convenient to close
the aldermanic investigation after going through
"A farce of pretending to trace down the rumorS
of corruption I'm connection with the Port Ches-
ter franchise. lie announced yesterday that
the hearings were closed and that nothing had
been discovered without calling several of the
most important witnesses whose names nave
been publicly placed before him at the hearings.
Mr.. CuvilIier came forward and offered to
testify Alderman Hayes. Of Mount Vernon,
has told Il most interesting story of the remarks
made 10 him by New-York alderman. He
called neither of them. Why: Was 1t be-
cause he feared their testimony would show
a purpose 10 hold up the Port Chester fran
chise until 1.-The captain seem? He pre-
tended great concern for the reputation of the
aldermen. Why, then, did he not seek some light
on the mysterious fund of 100000 discussed
il THE New York World of February II? Why
did he not call the person besides Mills who
Mr.. Gotshall said, had quoted the Davis state
mont TO him? Davis denied the truth of Mills's
testimony. If this other witness had corrobo-
rated Mills and testified that he had the same
hint OF the need of payment from the same
source, would It have been uncomfortable for
any of the aldermen:
These questions are inevitably suggested by
the sudden termination of the inquiry after at
tention had been given practically 10 only one
rumor. that published in The Tribune of May t.
though the papers have been full of imputations
for the last six months. If Mr.. Burr did not
want to find anything he went about it in the
right way. He has prepared the expected pail
of whitewash, and he has not seemed even TO
care TO conceal that il was whtewash; and
we suppose his coated aldermen will so about
proud in their cleaning radiance and rejoicing
at his skill in preventing any undesirable wit
ness from interfering with the completeness or
dispatch of his work.

ELN-ST. ANn PARk RnIE

AT thursdays meeting of the Rapid Transit
Commission attention was called by Commits
sioner Claflin 10 the condition of Elnl-st Mr.
Clafiin reminded his colleagues that two months
ago their chief engineer, Mr.. Parsons, Informed
them that the subway work i'm Elm-st was in
such condition that the work of repavlDC the
street and converting it 10 public uses could
go on. In the mean time nevertheless nothing
had been done. \ fire in the neighborhood
might cause great destruction because of the
fremen's inability to get their apparatus to
the spot. and there were no indications that
the street would soon be open to general traffic.
Commissioner Claiin spoke I'm particular OF
complaints made by occupants of the New
York Life Insurance Company Building, with
whom, as trustee Of the company, he natu-
rally feels special sympathy. The Assistant
Chief Engineer thereupon explained that the
trouble in Elm-st due TO the Consolidated
Gas Company, whose pipes must be permanent
~ laid and connected before the street can be
put in order. Having ascertained that fact the
commission voted to instruct the gas company
TO connect its mains and close the openings at
once. The commission will now consider what
power it has TO compel obedience, and, at the
suggestion Of Mr.. Orr, will also see what it can
do about Park Row.
These proceedings are encouraging though
less than they would be If former promises
TO expedite the work of restoring Park Row
and making Elm-st available had been better
kept The simple truth is that public patience
has been shamefully abused in those streets
and that whenever some slight variation from
the general rule of indifference TO the rights az
the community has occurred il has been due NOT
TO unprompted activity on the part of those re-
spOnsible for the protection Of the public inter-
ests. but TO indignant protests o.. private citi-
