WoRKHOUSE COMMITMENTS.
George S. Wilson's Statement in Re-
Spouse to Publications.

At the request of Commissioner Macfar-
land, Secretary George S. Wilson of the
board of charities today prepared a state
ment relative to the recently printed re-
ports concerning the commitment to the
workhouse as Migrants of men who are
sick and in need of hospital treatment In
his statement Secretary Wilson says:
These reports might give the Impression
that the policemen are hard-hearted and
indifferent in handling these men. 1t
might be supposed that men are frequently
arrested and sent to the workhouSe when
their condition is such that they should
have been sent Immediately to the hospital
There may have been some instances of
this kind, but an inquiry regarding the
character of those recently committed to
the workhouSe shows that such instances
are extremely rare. So far as could be as
certained by careful inquiry. only three or
four men have reached the workhouse as
sick men, who were apparently not of the
class of habitual offenders
when cases come to- the attention of
the police department or the police judges,
where it is felt that hospital treatment is
needed, it is the custom to request the
board of charities to receive the cases in
question, and arrangements are always
made for the care of such cases.

and permit the terminal company to use
these streetsD In consideration for permit
ting the terminal company to close and use
g and Chicago streets, Colonel Biddle ex-
planned, the Comm tssioners have proposed.
and the company has accepted the PROPOSE
ton, that the terminal company dedicate to
the District a pub14c street sixty feet wide,
extending along ths east wall and connect
ing F street with The plaza. The District
will also be relieved of paying any damages
to property in squares 710 and 40 resulting
from the chshges IN grades of streets. The
District Wills alson able to give better
grade to I'd street, Colonel Biddle said.
Mr.. Shuster said that in roundabout
way the proposition of the Commissioners
would accomplish the purpose recommended
by the Board of Trade. The board, how
ever, he said had recommended a street
along the east wall from the plaza to II
street, to be provided at the expense OF
the railroadicompany. in consideration for
closing certain streets.
Mr.. F'rizzell stated that the recomnen-
dations of the Board of Trade were in
agreement with the desires of the citi-
zens, excepting that the citizens desired
a street 100 feet wide, or 80 feet at the
least, to be properly graded and paved.
He then read resolution adopted by the
citizens protesting against the plan de-
fiecting e street to the plaza. and asking
that that thoroughfare be continued TO the
plaza in straight line.

Sick
HeadaC

When your head aches, there is a
storm in the nervous system, CEN
tering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain in
the head, and the turbulent nerve
current sent to the stomach causes
nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and is dam
gerous, as frequent and prolonged
attacks weaken the brain, resulting
in loss of memory, inflammation,
epilepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated, ach-
ing condition by taking DR.. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by soothing,
Strengthening and relieving the ten
sion upon the nerves-not by par
alyzing them, as do most headache
remedies.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do :.ot
contain opium, morphine, choral,
cocaine or similar drugs.

A South Carolina Judgeship.
Representatives Aiken and Finley of
South Carolina talked to the President to-
day about a new judgeship for that state.
The House committee on judiciary has ia
vorably reported to the House bill Great
ing a new judicial district in that state,
owing to the heavy work put upon one
judge. The South Carolina representatives
wanted to say to the President that they
would dislike to see a judge appointed who
was obnoxious to the people. The PreSi-
dent said that he would be pleased to con-

tion members of the bar and judges of the

The delegation would like to see a judge
appointed who lives within the limits of the

men. He believes in keeping within dis

The Commissioners assured Mr.. Hannah
that he was correct.
Another Proposition.
Commissioner BiddIe then took occasion to
remark that the, citizens of the northeast
section have for a long time been complain
ing about the closing of f street. He
thought the proposition of the Commission
ers wherebyhF street would be kept open
to the plaza would be received by the citi-
zens with delight Col. Biddle explained, in
reply to arguments of the citizens, that
there would be no throttle at Massachu-
sets avenue,swhere 1t opens on the plaza
because of E street being DETECTED into

to sharp points on the plaza raised against
the citizens plan were not worthy Of very
points on Thomas Circle. which he said did
not detract very greatly from the appear
ance of that circle. Mr.. Tucker suggested
that e street ought to be continued in q
straight line to the plaza
Mr.. Crandau declared that the people
on the hill desire street kept open to the
plaza. Any plan. he said, that would
leave street open to the plaza would meet
with the approval of the citizens in North
east Washington
Mr. Frizzell declared that the citizens in
Northeast Washington have been criticised
SO much for giving SO much to the rail-
road company that they now want the
railroad company to do. little giving.
In this connection Col. Biddle explained
that the cost of all the houses that the
railroad company will have to buy and
destroy in order to give the District
street will be much greater than the value
of the land which the District surrenders
planned that it had been proposed to make
the new street on the east side sixty feet
wide in order to correspond with the sixty
foot street on the west side of the terminal.
For Wide Streets.
Several citizens urged that the street on
the east side Of the station ought to be
wider than sixty feet. One citizen suggest
ed that the railroad is glad to give the land
for the street, because it will be great con-
venience to the railroad, and that the COM
pany will use the street to the detriment of
the citizens. Colonel Biddle mentioned that
the Commissioners and not the railroad
company, originally proposed the dedication
OF the new street along the east WALL The
Commissioners, he said. made the PROPOSE
ton In order to benefit the citizens
Commissioner mcfarland also declared
that the Commissioners had proposed the
new street for the accommodation of the
citizens The street, he said may be val
liable to the railroad cOmpany hut the cit
liens have been contending for the contin-
uation of street to the plaza for so long
that he thought they would be pleased
when arrangements were made to carry
out their wishes.
No Change Likely.
Considerable informal discussion was in
dulged in by the citizens and Commits
sloners. At the close of the hearing it was
stated that the arrangement of the streets
about the plaza has been considered settled
by the Commissioners, except as to minor
details. and it Is not believed they will be
Inclined to change their decision on this
matter.
The citizens plans were considered very
carefully and at great length by the Com
mlssioners and the District engineers and

the plans of the citizens are any more de-
sirable than they did last spring, when they

any way interfere with the arrangement of

for the closing of G. and Chicago streets at
I'd street near the terminal station, de-
veloped, among other things, that the citi-
zens are not opposed to the bargain made
by the Commissioners with the terminal
company in connection with the closing of
the streets mentioned The citizens, how
ever prefer the original plan presented by
them last May for arranging the streets
about the union station plaza, which pro-
vides that T street be continued from I'd
street to the plaza obliquely, and that Il
street be continued through the plaza in
straight line. instead of being DETECTED into
Massa chusetts avenue. AS alternate
proposition the citizens suggest that F
street be kept open to the east terminal
wall. and thence south along the wall to
the plaza, and that E street be continued
to the plaza in straight line. The citizens
desire, in brief, that arrangements be made,
in any event, for keeping f street open to
the plaza, and also continuing e street in
a straight line.
The Plans Discussed.
The hearing was requested by the Citi-
zens' Association relative to the Senate
bill closing G and Chicago streets at I'd
street, and permitting the terminal COM
pany to use the streets between I'd street
and the east terminal wall. The old ques-
ton of arrangement of streets about the
union station plaza which it was pre-
sumed had been settled more than eight
months ago, and is considered as settled
by the Commissioners, received great
deal of attention in the remarks of the
various speakers. From the speeches made
during the hearing and the expressions
heard at the close it appeared that the citi-
zens were not entirely familiar with the
agreement reached between the Commits
sioners and the terminal company in con-
nection with the bill under consideration
The only objections offered to proposition
advanced by the Commi ssioners, when it
had been explained to the citizens, were
that the street to be dedicated to the Dis
trict by the terminal company along the
east wall of the terminal, connecting F

April the association presented to the Com
missioners a diagram which proposed that
F street be detected at I'd street obliquely
to the plaza, and that E street be continued
in a straight line to the plaza. The plan,
he said, was rejected and the Commission
ers agreed upon plan by which the grade
of F street were to remain as now, neces-
stating long stairway to reach the grade
of the plaza. Mr.. FriZzeil said that to the
plan for arrangement of streets about the
plaza, presented last April. the citizens
'tenaciously adhere as the the most con-
venient and cheapest plan for all practi-
cable and utilitarian purposes, as well as
for its artistic features. The citizens, he
said felt that while the bill to close G and
Chicago streets is before the Commission.
ers, it afforded opportunity to again urge
their original plan or a substitute, which
provides thatF street be continued south
ward to the plaza, with a width of not less
than 100 feet, and that the southern por-
ton of the street be dedicated to the Dis
trict and maintained by the railroad COM
pany. -fw
Mr.. Frizzell argued that there are several
street railway companies asking permission
according to the citizens plan they may lay
tracks on either F. or E street. He declared
that the expense attached to carrying out
the citizens proposition would be very
small compared to the benefits resulting:

the citizens plan would detract but very
little from the beautiful appearance of the

Technical Features
The technical features of the citizens
plans were then explained to the Commits
sioners by Mr.. Bowen, the author Of the
drawings. He declared that the objection
able points could be covered up, and that
at any rate visitors to Washington would
not notice the points or angles. He
thought that utility ought to count for
more than pleasing appearance in the
project.

A telegraph wire was effectively used as
a life preserver a few weeks ago. but the
Incident, most pleasant to contemplate In
its humane aspects temporarily put large
district of Uganda out of business relations
with the rest of the world. The black re-
cever at Entebbe, on the north shore of
Victoria Nyanza, was taking down an OFF,
cial message as 1t came from Mombasa, on
the Indian ocean, when communicat lions
We're suddenly suspended At the same in
slant 1t happened that a negro was also
suspended from the wire at the place where
the waters of the great lake pour over
Ripon falls and become the Nile river.
This native had been padding a canoe
in the lake near its outlet when his paddle
slipped out OF his hand. The canoe drifted
straight for the falls, and the poor man
would have been doomed to certain de-
struction if it had not been for that tele-
graph wire. Two three small ISLANDS
cut the falls into sections, and the wire Is
carried across the river on short posts plant
ed on the islands. AS his boat shot through
the rapids the man made a successful grab
for the wire, and his legs dangled almost
over the falls as he went hand over hand
to the shore. But he grounded the wire.
Science saved life, but was little out of
repair after the gratifying achievement.
