Mr.. Hosmer favored the advisory

To Get Rid Of Stray Animals.
The High School fence was talked
about. Mr.. Smith thought that 1t
should come down as 1t would thus i'm
prove the appearance of that part of
town. Mr. Bryan agreed with him.
He had been compelled TO keep a
fence around his place because of the
stray cows and horses about town.
The general opinion was that the
pound master should get busy. Some
thing will be done about the matter
and II the committee and citizens
have anything to say there will be
less stray animals in the future.

about his home and is aiding IN every
way in accordance with the flea to
have the yards run TO the sidewalk.
Want Individual Interest
Several years ago a number of palms
were pulled up at night from in front
OF the residence OF w. l.. Hopper in
Makiii. Mr.. Wilder suggested that
the Supervisors should pass an ord.
nance against an act of this kind. His
plan is to interest the people generally
in the city.beautifying matter. If nee.
essary, and which would undoubtedly
bring great results, house toulouse
canvass could be made and everybody
requested to take hand in the move.
This ended the meeting of the citizens
with the Promotion Committee and af.
ter their departure the organization
took up their regular business.
Another Cup for Yacht Race.
Secretary Wood informed the com.

acted upon favorably by the San

Work a Substitute for Worry.
From Good Housekeeping


Manual work is active, and carefully used
1t may take its place as a very proper SUBJ
stitute for worry. 1t may be confidently
asserted that when worry and uncertainty
have given place to new and positive in
terest of sound and proper sort most of
the other symptoms In uncomplicated cases
of nervous prostration will vanish.
That in brief is the simple philosophy of
work as a remedy for nervous strain and its
untoward results. How the principle may
bear upon d given Individual may not al
ways be predicted. Only experience can
tell what form of work or play will be best
in given case. and whether the treatment
may be carried out at home or not Some
times, of course, work or effort of any kind
Is impossible. But 1t is probable that in the
great majority OF cases coming under the
head Of nervous exhaustion or neurasthenia
the systematic use of work under favorable
conditions Will. to say the least. be bene-
fictaL OF course, where there is nervous
breakdown one must never overlook the In
divddual and his physical and mental re-
quirements. But very often all attempts to
relieve by helpful counsel and ordinary
medical measures fail, and we have the
gloomy prospect of months or years, and In
some cases, alas. lifetime OF invalidism.

The Sunday school constitutes an exceI

the decline In Bible reading; that as a peo-
pie, we are grasping always after tangible
things and that we find little to interest us

things that are unseen.

Americans are more blind to the value Of
the Bible than Europeans, and in the alb

to impute to the United States as q ma

for the vital sake of Righteousness, that the

GATHERING DATA.
Anti-Saloon League and "Growler''
Business.

Agents of the Anti-Saloon League are
said to be securing data concerning the
GROWER" beer business in Washington, to
be used before the excise board primarily,
and perhaps latterly to be presented to
Congress, in the warfare 1t is proposed to
be waged next winter against intemperance
in the District of Columbia. 1t Is said
that since the present agitation was started
against the bucket trade there has been a
marked diminution in that traffic
Instances are cited where keepers Of
former bucket saloons will not any longer
allow vessels for beer to be brought into
their places of business except under cover
or after darkness had set IN. close watch
Is being kept 1t is said, with a view Of fur
nishing vivid pictures of the evil results of
the promiscuous bucket trade" as a MEM
Der of the Anti-Saloon League expressed It.
No decision has yet been reached in the
matter of restricting this trade by the ex-
else board, the matter still being in abey-
ance. AS to the proposed license fee Of
$4,000, strong pressure will be brought, 1t Is
said, for and against the proposition.
1t is expected that important action bear
Ing on the matter will be taken this even
ing at the called meeting OF the executive
board Of the Independent Order of Recha-
bites to be held at the office of High Chief
Ruler Wayne w. Cordell. 461 G. street
northwest.
At public meeting last night under the
auspices of the Anti-Saloon League, In the
Wesley NJ E. Church, 9th and F streets
northwest Mr.. Albert e. Shoemaker, at
torney of the league, said that the people
of the District practically have local op-
ton. as the number of saloons to be H.
censed in the year beginning November 1
will be determined by them.
He explained that every protest filed
against the licensing Of a saloon had its
weight with the excise board, and that IL
the people would take up this matter in
the right way the number of saloons in
Washington could be materially decreased
Mr. Shoemaker characterized the "growler'
trade as a menace and disgrace to the
city. and said some of the wholesale places
were "as bad as saloons"

BODY FOUND FLOATING
PRICE p. HALLER BELIEVED TO
HAVE coMMITTED SUICIDE.

The body of white man found floating
In the Potomac near Sheperd's wharf about
10 o'clock this forenoon was Identified as
that of Price p. Haller. a former machinist
In the navy yard. Halter was reported to
police headquarters as missing from his
home. 651 C street southeast, since October
II, at which time he was last seen alive.
The discovery Of the body was made by
members of the crew OF the tugboat Run
away as she was proceeding up the river
and had reached a point near Sheperd's
wharf. just below the old magazine.
Lieut. John r. Sutton of the harbor pre-
cinct was notified and proceeded down
stream on the police steamer Vigilant to
overtake the body, which was taken on
board and transferred to the morKue. It
was examined by Morguemaster William
Schoneberger, who found on the mans fin
ger a gold ring with the initials P. P. H.

DEATH ROLL FROM PLAGUE
Over Million Died in India Durina
the Last Year.

From the London Lancet
In 1903 the number Of deaths from plague
In India was $50, 600; in 1904 1t was over
100000. being 100000. OF the 1000 900
deaths more than 10000 occurred In one
province, and that province was the Pun
1ab the one from which some of the best
Indian soldiers are recruited. Consider the
possible significance Of a fact like this upon
the efficiency Of the Indian army. The
'Puntab Is not large province, its actual
population being about 2O,OO0O COO or only
two-thirds that OF England. and yet the
deaths In the Punjab during 1904 from
plague amounted to over $4,000 in the
course Of twelve weeks only.
/ We believe that these figures, which have
been published before, have never been
contradicted, though they seem incredible
What would be thought, said or done In
England If in the course of twelve weeks
over 10000 persons were swept of by one
oisease3 Surely there would be something
like panic. And IL this destruction
threatened to be an annual one would not
any inactivity on the part of the authori-
ties In whom prevention is vested be deep
ly resented? The English public has Of
course, not realized the position, and though
we are not playing the alarmist with any
special relish for the office, we think that
the policy of concealment-or the absence of
policy that has necessitated concealment-
has gone on long enough.
The small number of deaths from plague
in Hongkong and Mauritius is regularly
published every week in the daily papers
and presumably the information comes
from official sources but the mortality
which occurs in India from the-same dam
ger not only to Indian. but to the world, is
never published-it is not considered whole
some reading. The public is not aware
from official information of the terrible
tragedy going on in one part of the en-
pire-in that part which is always termed
the brightest jewel in the possession of the
government and for whose welfare we are
nationally responsible and for whose pos
session and maintenance some Of the no.
blest British blood has been shed.
We have commented in the Lancet upon
the inquiry undertaken jointly by the Lis
ter Institute of Preventive Medicine, the
India office and the Royal Society, the
first fruit of which Is to be the dispatch
of two psychologists to the east, and while
allowing that the idea Of the inquiry Is a
sound one, we have pointed out that we
do not think the measures to be undertaken
really meet the case. Three and a half
millions of people have died from plague in
India since 1896, and the proposal to send
out two psychologists to look into the
causes of the tragedy strikes us as made
quate. however capable and distinguished
the gentlemen connected with the joint in
quiry may be and indeed are. The sur
plus of the imperial Indian exchequer this
year is "a, 600. 600.
