Southern hospitality is provsrbially
generous. In "The Old Dominion"
Mr.. Nelson Page recounts an instance
showing that this hospitality was not
always appreciated. A guest asked
the loan of horse to carry him to his
next stopping place, town which lay
at considerable distance. The host
accordingly lent him his horse, and
sent along negro boy-it was before
the war-to bring the horse back.
After several days the boy was still
missing and some one was sent to hunt
him up. The messenger found him at
last, and demanded why he had not
returned with the horse.

Hold First Meeting of Their Newly
Organized Club.

night and much enthusiasm greeted the
predictions by various speakers OF sue
cess for the Bryan and Kern ticket at the
election in November. Edward H Jones.
president of the club. acted as chairman
and he introduced Robert Z. Mattingly
and State Senator Blair Lee of Maryland,
who made the principal addresses of the
evening.
Mr.. M3ttingly gave voice to the opinion
that Maryland Will be found in the demo-
cratic column when the votes have been
counted Il little more than two months
hence. and he said he expects to see a
sweeping victory for the SOlidly and fairly
drawn Denver platform in many states
where the republican hosts are now divid-
ed. The speaker expressed his belief that
political reasons are behind the delay in
the hearing of Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and other labor leaders in the
contempt proceedings growing out of the
Buck Stove and Range CompanyS case.
Senator Lee made d brief and forceful
address, contrasting the positions OF Taft
and Bryan, the nominees OF the two lead
ing parties. He also described the work
of the Denver convention, which he at
tended.

RESTRICTED BY RESOLUTION
ORDER OF RECHABITES ADOPTS
STRINGENT RULE.
Organization Forbidden to Partici-
pate as Such in Prohibition or
High-License Meetings.

Several matters of local interest were
introduced at the fifty-sixth annual ses-
sion Of the High Tent, Independent Order
Of Rechabites of North America, held at
Homecoming. Md. last week according tC
members of that body who have returned
to the city.
1t is learned that resolution was
High Tent, acting as such. from taking
part in any prohibition, high-lcense or
similar meeting. and that in the future
the order of Rechabites cannot engage in
such meetings as an organization. No re-
striction was imposed upon the right of
ly however. in those demonstrations.
The members of the order generally eX-
press themselves well pleased with this
resolution, as tending to strengthen the
principle Of moral suasion, which is
claimed to be the principle upon which
the RechabiteS base their work.
The report of the special committee ap-
pointed last session upon the revision of
the laws occupied the attention of the
High Tent during the first three days of
the session, and many important changes
were made in the laws governing the or
ganiZation.
among the changes effected was the
abolition of the board of directors. five of
whom were formerly selected from vari-
Gus sections of the country.
The local members who have returned
report very harmonious session, and
predict that very successful year awaits
the order with the newly elected officers
at the helm.

WOULD RESTRICT BUILDINGS
CHARLES w. RUSSELL'S PLAN
FOR CITY BEAUTIFUL.
Would Initiate Methods Adopted by
Paris-Style and Appearance
to Be Regulated.

Charles W. Russell, assistant attorney
general. believes the Identification of
Washington cannot be accomplished
merely by attention to streets and ave-
nues, and maintains that new building
regulations will have to be made.
He is of opinion that some control
should be exercised over the style and
appearance of buildings to be erected in
different sections of the city, pointing out
that men frequently. for convenience or
gain, build houses in a community that
are seriously detrimental to the interests
of others, not to speak of tleir entire
lack of architectural appearance.
Commenting on the subject yesterday to
a reporter for The Star he said:
With the time and environment which
enabled a strong man to wreak his will
upon the District of Columbia, Gov.
Shepherd is gone. And his like cannot
be expected again The making of Greater
Washington is likely to be through good
system and good plans commencing them
selves to the present congressional and
commission governors.
LAS part of such plans 1 desire to make
one suggestion, based upon the fact that
this District was little spot, devoted to
tue business Oh the nation, TO De us Cdpl-
tai, and is not a mere abiding place for
such persons as may see fit to live in it.
That suggestion is that the government
can and should control the house building
of the District, with a view to the general
good appearance of the city, and not
cOnfine itself to making fine streets and
parks and rows of trees.
IF this shall lead to any public expense
in order that there may be no taking of
property without due process of law, COM
pensation can be paid to individuals in
jured. But 1t is not certain that the regu-
latlons would depreciate the value of
property, neither is it clear that, If they
should, they would exceed the police
power to act without compromising, as
where a state destroys the value of all
breweries by forDidding the making and
selling of beer
However, compensation or no compen-
sation, there is nothing to prevent the
execution of such plan.
1T is a familiar thing for private per-
sons making an addition to a city to
impose conditions in the deeds requiring
houses erected to be of at least a certain
value or cost. i have been told that in
old Paris the fronts of houses facing
parks cannot be altered in appearance by
their owners.
1T is not my purpose to go into details.
but some such principle applied to the
houses along squares and chief avenues
of this city and bordering on the national
park seems to be worth considering"

PLAGUE FROM SQUIRREL BITE
MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE
PERTURBED BY EVIDENCE.
Boy Takes Dread Disease in Odd
Way-Connection Established
by Experiment.

The discovery that ground squirrels
can have plague. and the direct connec-
ton of case of the disease in Los
Angeles with the bite of a squirrel, has
excited the marine hospital service. The
service has long had charge Of the war on
plague in California. and is constantly
looking for methods for eradication OF
one of the worst diseases of the earth.
A boy residing at Buena Vista Park,
near Los Angeles. was bitten by a ground
squirrel in August. Five or six days
later he sickened with all the symptoms
Of plague.
Careful examination showed that the
boy undoubtedly had plague He was
isolated in the usual way. every precau-
ton being taken to prevent further spread
Of the disease.
The particular squirrel was killed some
days later by cat and dog before the
disease could be traced to the bite. A
search of the park nearby, however, re-
suited in finding another dead squirrel.
which presented positive evidences OF
plague.
Extensive scientific researches to show
the existence Of the disease in the squirrel
have been made by surgeons of the hos
pital service, according to the reports
just received here and admitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury. A piece of the
through the usual processes, showing
every evidence of plague.
To further prove the case, however,
some of the tissue. after treatment, was
rubbed into the skin of a guinea pig,
which began to show traces of the plague
in forty-eight hours, and four days later
was dead. The same treatment was con-
tinued on other guinea pigs and on rats,
resulting in death to these animals from
the usual plague symptoms.
The marine hospital service is immense
ly surprised at the discovery Of the
disease in ground squirrels Science has
accepted as unquestioned the fact that
the disease the world over is sprad by
the ordinary house rat and in San Fran
cisco and elsewhere for years warfare
against rats has been waged. The health
department of the Japanese government
has issued strong circular on this sub
ject, this being presented In the present
circular of the marine hospital service.
Japanese advise that cats be required In
every home and business establishment,
considering them far superior to any other
method of rat eradication. 1t is recon-
mended that a worldwide search be
made for cats. especially skilled as rat
tiers. Where plague is in existence regu-
lar companies of cats should be put to
work. being given every assistance In
the way of training and encouragement.
The cat is said to be immune to the
plague and If 1t should eat plague-infected
rats would not suffer any serious results
or communicate the disease.

WILEY's LABORATORY AFIRE.
Little Damage Done and Flames Pu

southwest. about 300 o'clock yesterday,
causing about So damage.
The employees of the department had
been using the slab during the morning
for the purpose of mixing several chemi-
calls 1t is thought that the heat caused
a combustion among the chemicals.
The room soon filled with smoke. Alarm
was rounded from box 432, which brought
out the fire department.
The firemen found that there was but a
slight blaze. Hand extinguishers Were
brought into use. The flames were soon
eXtnguished.
Almost all employees of the department
had left the building. There was no eX-
element.
