THE STENCH QUESTION. AN INVITATION TO PROFENTY-OWNERS, A weck or moro ago Tur TninuNs announcod | the discovory of tho fact that frequently, when tho wind was south snd the fog was in tho air, a eingularly unpleasant amoll, orlginating in tho Town of Lako, camo visiting in the Town of Bouth Chicago, and, with raro {mpartiality, calted npon ovory resident thercin at aboug tho samo timo, and called B0 ofteni a8 to bocomo as nopopular as Mike Evans or II.

This account feli under the observation of Hau- itary-Superiotendeut Miller, and he proceedod with charactoristic onergy to invostigato thosub- joct, IHs luquirios, made during monionts snatched from oficial Iabors, resulted in eatisly- ing him that sucha smell had been heard from, and that it was conceived iu offal sud born fu Lake. Yo Lake ho wont then, tho other day, ana fuvestigated. Lako Ia not far from Clifeago, unbappily for tho city. A man can it on tho dividing line, his watch taxablo In ono juriediction and his waltot in tho othoer. Yet tho pressuro of oificial dutics ~—for otticial duties, thougsh nd invisiblo sy alr, may atill have weight—bad hitherto provented thio Sanitary Supotintendont from exploring the Couk Couuty Golgotha. o wont lnat week. o climbod tha offal mountains which rise au inch for every degreo the thermomoter goes up, Ha trod tho fiolda paved wilh docaying eabbages, Jio aaw the tall clumnoys which pourcd ont fotid pagew, 110 took n littlo of the air aud analyzed it, and found it unwholesome, ‘Ttien he eallod to his sl tho stuvdy burghers of Lake, aud told somo of them to appesr at his ottico, whero Lthoy were to mwear against the atinks, This docament o was to submit to the Btate's Autornoy, who would bring it to the earof the Court. Thev wero present vostorday. But in tho meanwhile tho Sanitary Suporintondont bad suatehod from arduous oflicial duties timo to ox- amine the law. 1t was not what ho fancied it. Thoso who wore tn swear against the amolly must bo frosholdors In and residouts of Chicago, It is_a yprivilego to inform on o atench. It is tho prorogative of tho property-owning Chicagoat. 1t is the ouly privilege that 18 left him, probably beeause tho bummers do not want it. A Laker cannot squosl even on o domestic smell. Nothing is mora interosting and profitable than the study of thig Inws and ordinancos of tho City of Ohico- go. Tho Sanitary Superintendont dealing with theee smolls reminds ouo of a man wrastling with 8 chees\ problom, 1o thinks he seos the move. He chuckles and makos it.

After & brief conversation from Dr. Mil- ler, 1asting 14h, 35m. 16w., tho party broke up. Ther tho Doctor studied tho chese-board and found a frash solution, It is tho 360tu, and tlorefore is approprinte in leap-year. It is this: An {uvitation is oxtonded to {rooholdors of Chi- cago—tho haughty aristocrats who can com- plain of smells—to meat at tho ofticoof the Board of Health at 1:30 p, m. to-day, 'Tho oftice ia at tho southiwest cornor of Dearborn and Monroe streets.

'Ihore will bo no lunch, and tho domocracy may stay at [home, Noue are wanted but men who can’ smell, aad, emolling, swear thut thoy can smoll. ‘then they will return to tho city, and will bo told to eall the noxt day at tho Bonrd of Heallh's ofiice to mske out their documents.
