The seventy-five or more members of the District Woman Suffrage association were well represented at a meeting held last evening at 516 Lith street. In theabsence of Mrs, Mohl, the president, Mrs. Sperry was chosen chair- man. An interesting report upon the condi- tion of the alms-house hospital was read by Mrs, Dr. Stanford, setting forth that the at- tendants in the white and colored wards were not as efficient as they should be because of the small amount of money available for their pay; that one of the ferhale patients spoke of the exposure of the person in confinement caves, and said that not only the doctor was present in snch cases, but medical students, and that the character ofthe food supplied is not suitable for invalids. This, however. was at- tributed to lack of funds. The report recom- mended the appointment of a woman resident Pg for the women’s ward. It was decided consider the ark at a future meeting. As the society during the past year has be- come an auxiliary of the national association, the question arose as to whether the members of the auxiliary being members of the national association were not entitled to sdmission to the meetings of that body next week.

THE END OF THE TRIAL OF JAMES PAYNE FOR SHOOTING ROBERT JACKSON, The trial of James Payne for the murder of Robert Jackson, in Howardtown, August 30 last, was concluded last evening. After Tue Star's report closed testimony was given to show that Payne was warned that Jackson had arazor, and Jackson knocked Payne down and ran in the house before Payne drew his pistol. It was shown, too, that Jackson had a razor in his pocket. The court said that he would hesitate to sen- tence aman on this testimony to be hanged, and asked if the government had other testi- mony. Mr. Lipscomb said that he had no further proof to offer. Mr. Glassie, for the defense, said he was willing to submit the case to the jury at once under the instructions of the court. Judge Montgomery, instructing the jury, practically directed « verdict of guilty of man- slaughter to be rendered, at the same time ex- plaining that if Payne's purpose was to kill he was guilty of murder. The killing was unwar- ranted, although done under provocation and in passion, A verdict of guilty of manslaughter was returned after the jury had retired for a short time. —_-_—_ The Indian Commisstoters.

The meet Charlton, THE CITY HALL BUILDING. = by the Health Officer. Heaith Officer Townshend has reported to the District Commissioners the result of a re- cent sanitary inspection of the City Hall build- ing, made at the request of Judge Hagner. The report says: “The plumbing and drainage work for the newer portion of the structure was done in 1884, and while the plan followed has com- prehended some of the methods necessary for prevention or removal of sources of air pollu- tion, it left many defects, which have resulted in the creation and maintenance of conditions which must be, in the light of our present knowl- edge, considered as prejudicial to health. To summarize, before referring in detail to the existing local conditions, I would say that lack of fresh air outlets on the two main drains, the opportunity afforded for using over the inner air, and defective fixtures, im- perfect flushing and ventilating constitute the main sources of danger of pollution of the air used in the building.” After detailing defects found in the sanitary arrangements throughout the building the re- ap! concludes as follows: “The water supply insufficient, not by reason of want of pressure, but owing to size of pipes or obstruction by reason long service. This supply can be readily increased, which should be done. and the tank system of flushing should be adopted. The removal of allunnecessary wood work from about closets and draining fixtures is also re- commended. In short, the plumbing and drain- ing work of the building needs a rch ie overhauling, the water rapply should be in- creased and every possible barrier should be erected to prevent the use of any portion of inner air for heating purposes. This building being under control of the United States, Iam unable to take the action to be desired and which would be promptly taken were it the property of a private individual.” eatin hea THE COURTS.

ITS CAUSE A MICRO-ORGANISM TAKEN INTO THE SYSTEM THROUGH THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS, From the Lancet, Dr. G. M. Sternberg, who was commissioned by the college of physicians, of Philadelphia, | to investigate the methods of protective inoe- ulation, as practiced in Brazil (vy Dr. Domin- g0s Freire) and in Mexico (by Dr. Cargona y Valle), reported that facts concerning the en- demic and epidemic prevalence of the fever justify the belief that its cause is a micro- organism, which can, under suitable conditions, be propagated outside the body, as well as be capable of transport to a distance; also that, as a single attack of yellow fever, however mild, mostly protects from future attacks, there is reason to hope that such protection might be gained by innoculation. The yellow fever germ probably gains en- trance into the body by the respiratory or al mentary tracts, or through the surface of the body. orit is possible that it multiplies in insanitary localities and develops a volatile poison, which contaminates the air. The former hypothesis, that it enters the body and multiplies within it, is, he thinks, the more probable. Hitherto the germ has not been found in the blood and tissues of those attacked, for Dr. Sternberg does not confirm the alleged discovery made by Dr. Domingos Freire. Nor is there, in Dr. Sternberg’s opinion, any satisfactory evidence that the method of inoculation practiced by Dr. Do- mingos Friere has any prophylactic value, and the same applies to the claims put forward by Dr. Carmona y Valle, of Mexico, eee Guests oF THE CLover CLUB.—The Clover club gave its annual dinner the Bellevue hotel in Philadelphia last night.

In various parts of the body, more in the back, shoulders, and joiats, are the unwelcome indica- tions that rheumatism has gained a foothold, and you are “in for it” for a longer or shorter period. Rheu- matism is caused by lactic acid in the blood, and is cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which neutralizes the acidity, and eradicates every impurity from the blood. “I suffered from an acute attack of rheumatisia in- duced bya severe sprain of a once dislocated ankle Joint, which caused great swelling and intense pain. One bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla restored circulation, cleansed the blood, and relieved the pain so that Iam nearly well again. I regard Hood’s Sarsaparilla as the best remedy for the blood.” L. T.
