A Former Dereliction.

Attorney Wilson, for the B. G. O., asked
him if he had gotten torpedo signal
whether there was any guarantee that he
would have stopped, recalling to him one
occasion which he had been disciplined for
running past a torpedo signal. Hildebrand
took the defensive, and said that he certain
ly would have stopped. and explained that
in the other case he going down grade
with freight at about ten miles an hour
with the train under full control and that
he had merely bumped the end of an
other train that was waiting ahead of him.
Attorney Walter brought up the question
of comparing watches, and Hldebrand
then said that there were few standard
clocks with which engineers could make
comparisons. He said that the clock in
the dispatcher's office at Cumberland was
stopped about half the time and that the

DISEASE PREVENTION
DRAFT OF BILL SUBMITTED TO
CONGRESS.
Regulation Of Stockyard Slaughter
Houses and Packing Establish
ments-Legislation Urged.

The Commissioners today transmitted to
Congress draft of a bill to govern the
maintenance Of stockyards, slaughter
houses and packing houses. This proposed
bill was prepared by Health Officer Wood
ward, and its enactment is especially de-
sired by the Commissioners as the terms
OF the bill insure an almost positively clean
and healthy article for consumption in the
District.
The proposed bill Is particularly
stringent one. but at the same time its
provisions are not looked upon as unjust
or impossible. 1t will require the local
slaughter houses and other establishments
10 come up to the enumerated highest
standard. The bill not only intends that
the animals killed for delivery in Wash
ington shall be free from all disease and
be otherwise perfect, but that the various
abattoirs, slaughter houses cts, shall be
Kept well ventilated. well lighted and abso-
lutely clean; that the various receptacles,
tools and other articles which come in con-
tact with the meats shall be cleansed daily,
and provision is even made for the habits
and cleanliness OF those employed in such
houses.
The bill provides that persons affected
with tuberculosis any other communica-
BILE disease shall not be employed in any
OF the establishments noted where carcasses
are dressed. beef handled or meat food pro-
ducts prepared. No person shall dwell or
reside in any building used a slaughter
house or packing house, or in which meat is
kept or offered for sale. Each carcass in
spected and passed by inspector In the
service Of the health office shall bear the
registration number of the slaughter house
and shall be labeled with the words ID. G.
Inspected and Passed" The provisions for
labelling shall be SO strict that by the time
the dressed beef carcass is ready for sale
1t will contain at least ten labels or marks.
and upon each dressed carcass of a calf,
sheep. swine goat there will be at least
two labels or marks. Each condemned
carcass will be anointed or injected by the
inspector with kerosene as effectually TO
prevent It's sale

Running Extra Time.

Commissioner Clements again questioned
the engineer and his fireman, McClelland
closely on the subject of the amount of sleep
they had had before beginning the run from
Cumberland TO Washington.
1t was brought out that they had both
been on duty for fortyeight hours with
two intervals of four hours each for sleep.
They both claimed however, that they We're
IN first-rate condition and that If they had
not been they would not have started on
the run.
Attorney Wilson, for the railroad, brought
out the fact that the engineers and fire.
men had the privilege of refusing a call to
service If they did not think they had had
enough sleep. Both the witnesses said they
had awaited themselves of this privilege
once.
Commissioner Clements asked Hldebrand
II he thought a man who had had eight
hours sleep in forty-eight was in fit con-
dition for the responsible post of an engi-
neer. Hildebrand said that so far as he
was concerned he was in this particular in

Furthermore. the woman who wishes
to invest in Paris fashions must nave time.
The master mind OF Partisan dressmaking
and millinery do not turn out work at white
heat. They ponder and contrive and
polish. and IL is for this as we'll as for
materials and workmanship that o have
to pay many good francs.
For the woman who has not unlimited
money and abundant time at her disposal
the paradise OF dressmaking is Vienna
Few Americans are acquainted with the
esprit. the piquancy. the touch and 70 fancy
Of the Viennese cow designers. but the
truth is that some OF the most smartly
gowned women in New York wear not
creations Of Felix or Worth, but master
pieces Of the wizards Of Vienna.
Let every woman take these facts to her
heart. In Vienna they make frocks quite
as smart As those made In Paris. They can,
IL you push them. turn you out one while
you make a weeks stay. For about $500
they can At you with an evening gown which
will make your American ~neighbor's mouth
water with envy. That same gown will
look not unlike a Paris production that cost
more than double the price. .
The achievements OF the big establish
ments In the Bauermarkt and the Pohl-
markt Of Vienn ought to be better known
to Americans. OF course when they are
they will be spoiled, for the Americans will
ask things of them that have never been
asked before and will pay them any price
they demand.
In Vienna you can buy hats. shces.
lingerie. underwear and all the rAra-
phernalia that 90 TO make wor.sn pict-
uresque. quite as well a. you can in Paris
and for a. little money. but not for less than
they cost In New York. Dressmaking ID
cheap In Vienna. but not ready to wear
a~rticles.
II you are not going TO Vienna. the next
| choice 10 Berlin. The German capital has
the finest shops In Europe, not excepting
Paris. The big dry goods and department
stores are rivalled only by those In this
country. Berlin has one or two that excel
almost all In America. Any woman who
has travelled on the Continent and has not
seen tho Leipziger Strasse OF Berlin has
not seen all Of her own special part OF
Europe.
In the department. OF waists ready to

another city with a strong bid for reoogni-
/ ton. and that Ia Hamburg. Its shops are
admirable in most respects and the tourist
