THE ComING MEDICAL CONGRESS. A Call on the President. AN APPROPRIATION WANTED—WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID—VIEWS OF MEDICAL MEN. The committee representing the American Medical Association which called upon the President yesterday, as mentioned in Tue | STAR, asked him to bring the fact of the meet- | ing of the International Medical Congress in this city, in 1887, to the attention of Congress, the idea being to have Congress make some ap- Propriation towards detraying the expenses of entertaining the delegates. The President | made some allusion to the lack of harmony © which existed among the doctors on this ques- | tion, but promised to consider the matter. | ZHE PROSPECTS OF A SUCCESSFUL CONGRESS | Goon, In conversation with a reporter of the Phila Golphia Press, a well known member of the committee, appointed by the American Med!- cal Association, at the meeting in New Orleans, | to make arrangements for the meeting of the | international medical congress in this cl said recently: “The prospects of a snecessful congress, how- ever, ure most encouraging, and I do not hesi- | tate to predict a large foreign representation. Without the presence of medical men from abroad the congress would, of course, lose its chief interest, and the principles which led to the institution of international gatherings ot representative men of the profession would not be carried out. The last committee: meeting was: held September 3 in New York. The rules adopted by the former committee of eight to organize the congress were revised and the va- cancies cunsed by resignations of the disaffected Were supplied. “We devided to admit the regue | Jar profession and other scientific men as mem- bers of the congress; agreed that no member should oceupy more’ than one position La or- ganizing the congress, and that members of committees were not eligible to appointineat a8 offivers ofgections,. The lust polit. was. Tather severe upon the old committee, whieh. had be- stowed appointments with marked liberality upon Its own members, and had given as many as five appointments t6 a single individual. the new cominittee is véry strony e and fs constantly being m: in correspondence. itorially, teal by individ ne ress for Its action at New Orleans last spring, at recent editorials lean just as strongly the OSL Seeessfttl Continuing, he sald: “Foreizn sympathy for ymnp | MESSAGES FOR THE PRESIDENT. How the Telegraph Nervice at the White Houné ts Conducted. A SPBCIAL OPERATOR AND SPECIAL WIRES— PACLLITIES FOR SENDING DISPATCHES DIRECT OVER ANY LINE IX THE COUNTRY—THE TYPE-WRITER AND THE TELEPHONES, There ia one department of the White House which escapes the notice of even frequent visi- tors. That fs the telegraph and telephone de- partment, It occupies only the little room in the northeast corner of the second floor, over the east room, but It isa very important od- Junct to the official administration at theWhite House, Its location Is secluded, and the casual Visitor has no call to intrude, vet it often hap- pens that a frequenter of the White House will drop'in to send a telephone message or to pass | the time of day with the presiding genius, B. F. Montgomery. He belongs to the regular cleri- cal force of the White House, but, being an ex- pert telegrapher, he was given charge of the telegraph instruments, dition to his other duties, with an increase of salary, when the force was eut down after the change of udmin- Istration, Notwithstanding the govern has wires and instruments in all the ments, ag well as the White House, it pays for ite messages the same as a private person. A. record fs keptat the main telegraph office of all telegrams sent or received, and the bills are sent at regular intervals to the proper officials. THE WHITE HOUSE TELEGRAPI BILLS are paid out of the contingent fund. This tele- graph department is mainiy to expedite mat- ters, but the convenienge and secrecy which it | gffords are reasons enough for its tenance. Ir the Prenident wishes fo send a ram the ge Is sent iato M igorhery, Who, hout a moment's loss of time, sends U tothe malt office wheuce itis flashed ty its destina- tion. If the telegram ts one that requires the utmost secrecy or expedition, a request of the nialy office Is all that, ix neetssary to connec essuge. It is evived, They come over the wire trom the main office direct to the White House,and no blue-co:t- d messenger boysare ever seen hunting around nine one to sign thelr time papers. Ia the center of Mr. Mouigomery's desis is a tele- graph switeh-board, by which he eau form con- hecuions in every direction. At his right h as he sits at the desi stands an { wolch connects with tbe Baltimore main offlee, at his left band is stralght to’ the Western Union the other side of the s: ry lice, and on teh bourd are three gov- uments.

The decision of First Controller Durbam, that the District drawback certificates. held in the treasury cannot be applied to the payment of the Distriet’s half of the $500,000 appropriated for the completion of the sewerage system In Washington, heretofore mentioned in the STaR, was in response to a proposition made by the District Commissioners that such credit should be.allowed. Judge Durham's letter to the Com- missioners upon the subject Is us tollows: “I have examined the question you presented to me on yesteruay, asking my con- struction of the act of June 30, 1884, making ‘£n appropriation for the completion of the sew- erage system of the. District of Columbia, of the sum of $500,000, and the second scetion of the actof February "25,1885, making appropris. tion for the expenses of the District of Colum | bia for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886,an for other purposes. ‘There 1s no’ doubt in my mind as to what is meant by the first act, which is that one-haif of the unexpended bal- ance of appropriations heretofore made for the support of the government of the District of Columbia, and uny amounts of money in ex- eas of appropriations which bave been depo Hed. by ‘the "District nthe ‘Treasury of the United Stutes, may be applied by the Commis- sloners,to thé ‘liquidation of the amounts 40 charged to the District, and when this credit is given them the District is tobe charged with the amougt which the government advances to pay balance of the sum of $250,000, with 4 F con@interest thereon, which the District required to discharge in sums of $50,000 ench year. My op inton {3 that Con- fom did not intend that the District should jave credit on the $250,000 above referred on account of the drawback certificates refer to in section 2 of the uct of February 25, 1885. The phraseology of the two acts is very ‘differ ent. In the former the word money 1s used; in the latter the term revenue is used. My opin- fon Is that the drawback certificates were lo be used by the Commissioners to make up the amount the District ws required. to into the Treasury for support of the ‘statement of the unex- = aes 1 which transmit to C2, will be examined within @ few days, and the result communicated to you.” Wholesale Poisoning by Mussels. ‘From the London Jimes. ‘It has long been known that mussels were dangerous for the purpose of eating E ‘When impregnated with copper.

It is not necessary to read the President's Proclamation or to consult the calendar to know that Thanksgiving day is near at hand. A visit to the markets would convince the most casual observer that something unusual Was in the air, There is a sort of holiday atmos- phere about the market which gives additional attractiveness to the piles of turkeys and chick- ens, the pyramids of red-cheeked apples, and the rows of fresh looking, crisp celery. Perhaps everything looks as inviting and toothsome on other market daysas it does on holiday occa- sions, but it does not seem so, Even the mar ket people seem to be more smiling, and have a brisk, cheery manner, which is part and y of the general holiday iecling” “Everybody 18 so busy and the throng of buyers is so great that it seoms almost a miracle how the empty mar- ket baskests ever get filled. But they do, The market men disappear benind THE PILES OF TURKEYS AND CHTCKENS which tower high upon their stalls and then suddenly reappear, bringing to the surface from some mysterious depth the fattest and tenderest of turkeys, When the buyer reaches this latter conclusion the most momentous question of the occasion has been settled, as the selection of the celery and the other vegetables is com ively easy, if only ¥ou can gain the attention of the market men.
