Stewart Castles Site.

@NE of the forlorn-looking spots of

all Washington knows. was torn down
several years ago, and its site has re-
manned vacant.
1t is a weedy spot. The blue blossoms
of the chicory plant lend their color In an
effort to make the place look cheerful,
but the effort is vain. Chicory. despite

Much Of this unfortunate lot is taken
up by shallow pit walled around with
disintegrating brickwork which was the
foundation of Stewart Castle. Cracked
and ruinous brownstone steps lead to
this shallow pit, which was the basement
of one of the early fine houses of the
town. In the weedy tangle growing in
the pit are various forms of city debris.

He was half-grown colored youth and
a stranger in that part of the city where
he encountered the Rambler. He wanted
a dinner and he was looking for a cook
shop just as men in other planes of life
would look for restaurant. But this
young fellow was not looking for
restaurant or cafe or a chop house or
refectory or an ordinary. The first
three words he had never used in his
life and the last two he had never heard.

Renting Public Grounds.

TT was not many years ago that the
public parks Of Washington were in
closed with wooden fences. The step
from the wooden fence to that of iron
was a decided one. Very little of the
iron fencing survives. Then came the
post-and-chain barrier. which one may
still see around a number Of reservations,
and latest came the cement coping.

 In Charge.

The grain was in cl.ars.:, of Dr. Oscar Bowling, Of SArevep5.t, t, La, president of the Lou siana State Board of Health, Dr. A. H Gladden., of Monroe, vice presl- dent, and two s6cre aries. The train was visited by thousands of people while in Little Rock Wednesday and Thursday and the great good 1t asas accomplished in tire way of educat ng the public up to better health eondi- tions in Arkansas was evidenced by ;hG, interest manifested in it's many features, which were interest ngly explained by Dr. G!ad:lan.
 The Louis:,ala State Heal h Train visited Little Rock at the request or Mr. We'bb, of the Arkansas Democrat. |, contains many healsd lessons in actual madels and descriptive art cies. It deals with improved sanitary con- ditions and better health regulations. Dr. Bowling states that i..e may visit .his city n the near future with his train.
 W.ilc' tne tFain was in Little Rock the. legislators went through it and were amazed at the poor protection hat is offered in this state, compar- ed W tn thu. carried out by the State Board of Halth in Louisiana. Dr. Bowling has brought the health de- par tment of tha, state up to high standard and has accomplished great work in preventing tGA spresd of con- tageous diseases and in maintaining good san tary markets, restaurant and dairies. and in fighting the fly and mosquito.
 Louisiana sppropriates $40,000 an nually for it's Healh Department and Arkansas does not appropriate one cent. In addition the Health Depart men. of that state gets T revenue g. gregaG ng $40,000 a year from a tax imposed On oil consumers.
