C. Ingersoll writes to Taz Srar as fol- lows: The sad news which Tax Sram gives of the end of a brave, energetic life will recall to many who knew Dr. Bliss in Armory Square hospital a page in his life which was written in characters of unusual brightness, Among the many wounded soldiers who received his care, and the women who, as nurses, aided his work, it would be difficult to find one who did not look upon Dr. Bliss in his capacity of director and ruler of that large family with any other feeling than admiration and respect. This hospital was model hospital. Order and ‘k hole where should insist on having the genuine jar to match i neatness easily prevailed, for he could rule without tyranny, and, being thoroughly de- yoted to his work, he inspired in all around him the same desire of perfection in the hos- pital that he himself was striving for. There was no lack of cheerfulness in his presence or his methods, but he did not carry the idea of entertaining the inmates of his hos- pital to the extent of preparing theatricals for them, as was the case in some others, for. said he, “my business is to cure these men and get them ready for the fieldagain.” Of the earnest loyalty of Dr. Bliss noone could doubt who knew him for an hour. It was while I was in the Lospital that a delegation from some west- ern college came to offer him a chair in their institution. ‘Once,” he said to me, at offer would have satisfied my highest ambition, but I do not give it a thought now. If I can serve my country where I am, and I believe I can, this is my choice.” There were surgeons in those days who were well content to receive the salary our govern- ment paid, when their feelings were in no wa’ eulisted in the service. One such I found in the ward to which I was assigned when I went on duty at Armory square. On my first day there this surgeon, in the presence of men who had lost limbs in the cause and were now lying around “the whitewashed walls” in pallid sick- ness, expressed his opinion that the south would in the end triumph, and that the north had no good reason for going to war. I met this talk by telling him that he should have been on that side and not here, to which he replied that he found himself here through convenience. On going to my room I met Dr. Biiss on the plank walk, and he said: “Why so sad, Mrs.-——? It seems to me you look down in the mouth.” I told him I did feel sad; that it made me so to hear such things said before wounded soldiers as I just listened to, and I repeated the words that —— had just said tome. I never shall forget the flashing eyes and altered voice in which Dr. Bliss spoke: “The wretch, he ought to be strong up; he shall be discharged the service.” And he was discharged. It was no part of the faith of Dr, Bliss that such men should tend our wounded soldiers. In the selection of nurses for his hospital Dr. Bliss obtained leave from the higher powers to de from the methods established by Miss Dix—a departure which she did not relish, but found herself unable to prevent. Dr, Bliss found many ladies among the educated and cultured classes who were more than willing to give their services to his hospital without pay. He liked this class and found their influence good with the soldiers, ‘There were wives and daughters of Senators, of a president of Harvard, and others of that order who were only too glad to serve their country in this way and to allow the salaries drawn for them to be used for the special diet of sick soldiers. As I remember those earnest and intelligent ladies Iam sure that the news of to-day will ‘bring to all of them a pang of regret that the surgeon in charge they admired so cordially and appreciated so highly had his life too soon worn out by @ service in which he never spared himself. ris Ko vae streets lately, snd the to break up the gang.

THE HUSBAND'S ANSWER TO THE WIFE'S sUIT— HIS CHARGES AGAINST HER. In the divorce case of Florence B, Solger against Julius Solger the respondent has filed | by Mr. W. A. Cook an answer, as also a cross-bill. He denies that he commenced to drink to ex- cess after January, 1882, or that he is an habitual drunkard. He admits that he has been on occasional sprees, but denies that they lasted more than a few days. He admits that he voluntarily _— himself under the care of physicians in charge of hospitals. He denies thathe was cruel to complainant or failed to | provide for her. and admits that she left him February 25, 1883, not because of any of his misdeeds or acts, but that it was voluntary and without cause on his part except that brought on by her own acts. He denies that he was | discharged from his position in the patent- office, and asserts that he resigned to enter business. He denies that he ever attempted to kill her or he ever made assaults upon her. ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE WIFE. The cross-bill states that they were married November 23, 1881, and states that shortly af- terward she neglected her duties as a wife, found fault, and said she would not be bothered with housekeeping, and her only thoughts seemed to be dress, attending receptions, and running about, and in consequence of the neglect he was obliged to do the work belong- ing to the “lady of the house.” He states also that in consequence of this neglect he was, on occasions, obliged to obtain his meals else- where, and the neglect being known to his family, his sister often brought food for his table. He charges that she used all means in her power to prevent becom- ing a mother, and “this mode of action made what might have beena happy union a most miserable one, and was the cause of continual bickerings and strife.” He states that Febru- ary 25, 1583, he had some high words with the complainant, and then, getting his breakfast down town, went to Baltimore, and on return- ing at 10:30 o'clock found “SUIS HOUSE GUTTED,” and that complainant had taken everything with her to her father’s, and he therefore charges her with desertion. He states that a short time afterward he requested her to re- turn to him, and she refused, and since ther he has refused to mopar her, although he con- tinues to clothe their child. He states that in November, 1884, she was on a visit to Gamden, N. J., and passed herself off as a widow or sin- gle woman, flirted with men, and attended the- aters in Philadelphia with them, returning at midnight or thereafter, and when remonstrated with by an old lady friend she called her “an old meddlesome body.” On her return to her father’s she admitted that she was not exactly true and he refused to listen to fur- ther admissions. He states that in October, 1887, she made another visit to Camden as well as Mount Holly and Philadelpha, where her reckless actions were repeated, going so far as to let several men kiss her, and he believes that improper relations existed between her anda party unknown. He further says that in September or October, 1888, she again visited Camden, and he has reasons to believe that she was then more reckless than ever, and on De- | which he observed was due ina | women to keep th BAD SANITARY CONDITIONS. The Bad Plumbing and Uncleanliness of Marini’s Hall Described. pied by a portion of the sixth auditor's office. The condition of this place has been a cause of complaint for some time. He states that there is surface drain in the cellar not securely trapped, and the cover being frequently re- moved there is a free of sewer gas, The only plumbing fixture is an old wash basin which has no ventilation of trap and which is uusealed by the discharge of fixtures above. The windows are not conveniently accessible, are very small and quite inadequate for light- ing the room, consequently twent lights are continually ent burning. Thit room is used for storage of files to which the clerks make reference. Tho atmosphere appears to be bad from sub-surface emanations and Cod fying paste and mucilage, and its vitality is further depleted by the gas burners. There is no provision for ventilating and this cellar at- mosphere is drawn up through the open lift shaft and stairway to the rooms above. The principal plumbing fixtures are favor- ably located on the first and second floors at rear of building and are properly constructed. There are, however, several plumbing fixtures | in the E street front of the building which are in construction badly located and con- nected, and the atmosphere is polluted by bad odors from them. On the first floor are four rooms occupied by the chief and principal clerks, the atmosphere of which is fouled with emanation from unventilated plumbing fixtures, At the head of the stairway there are two small rooms occupied by four clerks each, These rooms have one window for ventilation, and in a close, dark closet adjoining each room isa pan water-closet, the vilest of plumbing fixtures. FILTHY CONDITIONS. On this floor is the large room used as a dancing room, now occupied by 150 clerks, In the ceiling there are three ventilators.

The location is undesirable elie to the filthy public alle; and adjoining yard, and the construction bad for its present use, owing to lack of light and ventilation. The crowding of such a num- ber of clerks into a building of this kind, and surrounding them with such unwholesome con- ditions should be condemned.
