Recommendations of the Health OM- cer—Report of the Eastern Dispensary. The Commissioners have received from the board of directors of the Eastern dispensary, located at 311 $d street northeast, the annual report of the workings of said dispensary, to- gether with their recommendations for its Proper administration during the fiscal year ending Jun» 30, 1891. The report of the seo- retary of the medical board shows that during the period between July 1, 1888, and April 30, 1889, there ‘were 883 patients treate@. During this time the board has received voluntary con- tributions amounting to $506.03, and from the District of Columbia $150. The committee ap- pointed to transmit the report to the Commis- sioners call attention to the fact that for want of funds the institution is only moderately equipped, and ent the advantages and necessities of the institution with a view to securing an increased appropriation, Last year the Commissioners apportioned €300 of the “relief fund for the poor” for the km gd of the institution. This amount, they c! , is wholly inadequate to meet the charitable de- mands upon board, and they recommend that the sum of $1,000 be placed to their credit. They urge the necessity of this in view of the fact that the institution covers the whole of Capitol Hill and part of the city west of the Capitol. HEALTH OFFICER TOWNSHEND’S LETTER. Accompanying the report is a letter from Health Officer Townshend approving the above recommendation. In the course of his letter he says: “I must take this occasion to say, however, that the first und most important labor to be performed in the interest of the in- digent sick is that the bed-ridden ones be pro- vided for at their homes. Work of this char- acter is increasing annually without increase of appropriation. My only recommendation in this case is that the needs of the service per- formed by salaried oficers be amply provided for before any allotment whatever be made to the volunteer institutions. The amount of work performed by the different institutions miht then be taken into consideration and the Spportienstent made accordingly.” In con- eluding his letter Dr. Townshend a “It is my opinion that the District should have con- trol of some sortin every instance where its funds are being expended. After providin for compensation for physicians to the poor would ask that the fund for medicine and other expenses be increased to the sum of $4,000 from the appropriation referred to.” The Commissioners will take this matter under consideration, and if the recommenda- tions therein contained meet with their a) provai they will be embodied in the Commis- sioners’ estimates for the next fiscal year. ge National Jockey Club Fall Meeting. The executive committee of the National jockey club at a recent meeting decided to in- crease the amount of the purses to be offered at the fall meeting.

The report shows that during the year commencing May 1, 1888, and ending May 1, 1889, there were 3,001 new patients, with a total of 7.995 prescriptions issued. During that pericd Dr. Chas. Goodell, the physician at large to the poor, reports the number of patients to have been 1,275. These required 1,525 visits. The cost of conducting the dis- pensary for the year was $1,146.60. Among the recommendations is one for an additional homeopathic physician for the poor people in the northern part of the city. Dr. B. F. Gibbs is recommended for the position. To the $300 allotted to the dispeusary for the purchase of medicines for the poor they recommend that an additional $1,200 be given to the dispensary. Washington Produce Market.

Frequent Rains Spoil Their Sport—They Look Hopefully to the Fall Season. ‘The weather has continued to interfere with tennis playing, and in this particular the present season has been one of the most re- markable ever known here. The rains have been so frequent and so sever2 as to render the courts unfit for use, and the constant re- pairs made necessary have been costly. Du- ring the past few weeks a large number of players have been out of the city. In some of the courts there has been no playing at all, while in others one or two games are oc- easionally played. The members of the Bach- elor club and of the Capital bicycle club make ecest ia the game is maintained The norma! activity in tennis, however, will not be restored until later in the season. wen the players return from their summer outing. THE ALL-COMERS TOURNAMENT IN SEPTEMBER. The prospect is that the fali season will be one of special interest in tennis circles. Dr. MacLean, who has recently returned froma trip in Europe, is turning his attention to the all-comers’ tournament, which the national as- sociation decided would be held in this city on the 12th of September. He is positive that the tournament will be heid, but says that it de- pends very much on the arraugements made whether any number of the leading players will decide to attend it. Last year the players were entertained by the Highland club, and they had such a good time that they are anxious to make another visit to this city. No detinite arrangements have as yet been made, but Dr. MacLean imtends to talk the matter up with those interested in tennis. The usual fall tournament for District players will be held later in the season. The Matter of Shock Taking. ‘To the Editor of Tus Evento Stan: In your telegraphic news of even date and Bay Riva! L.

The telegram states that “the electric railway is provided with the Sprague system of motors, the power being furnished by an Edi- son machine of 900 volts,” &c. The voltage used at Steubenville is the same as that on all Sprague railroads and is just one-half that quoted, viz., 450 volts. The dynamos em- ployed in no case can generate a greater volt- age than 500, so that the other 400 were giv. by the superintendent to show his skill as shock taker or the reporter mistook the five for nine. At Richmoud (using the same volt- ege) the railroad men take hold of hands and stand on the rails, oue completing the circuit by taking hold of the switch ou the platform, daily, “just for the fun of it.” The writer has taken 1,500 volts (not voluntarily) and is a lively corpse yet.

And the Man Lives and Can Tell the Tale of His Experience. & Apropos of the debate on electricity as ap- plied to capital punishment, Daniel J. McFall furnishes the Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle with the following details of his sensations from an electric shock on the Sutro Tunnel level of the Chollar incline: “I was in the employ of the California elec- tric light and motor company as dynamo run- ner in the dynamo chamber on the 1,630 level of the Chollar mine, where the auxiliary power for operating the Nevada mill by the electric transmission of power is situated. In the dy- namo chamber are a number of small incan descent lights, some of which have long wire attachments so they can be carried to any part of the room for the convenience of the work- men. Those lights are attached to a one hun- dred and twenty-five horse-power dynamo used for transmitting the power tothe mill. One of thove lights was temporarily bung over a dynamo that was being repaired. The light not being close enough, I reached up my right hand and grasped the wire for the purpose of pulling in the slack. At some vious time this wire had been wound around a nail, which had broken the insulation and left a part of the wire bare. I, not being aware of this, unfortu- nately grabbed the wire at this place. My right foot boot was a little damp, and in turning the toe happened to touc! piece of iron running to the ground. Immediately 1 was struck, my right hand grasping the light wire and the toe of my right foot boot touching the iron lead- ing to the ground, ‘grounded’ me (connected me with the ground), and in consequence, the current in the electric wires, or at least a good portion of it, passed through my body. lec- tricity will always run to the ground first if it gets the opportunity, so when I made the con- nection the current passed through me to the ground, “It is very hard to define my feeling. First 1 received a most peculiar sensation that shook my body and compietely paralyzed me, and yet at the same time | was fully couscious.’ I tried to let go my hold of the wire, but, of course, found that impossible. for the harder the shock the more contracted the muscles became. and consequently the firmer the wire is held. I tried to shout for aid, and although a fellow- workman was but 5 or 6 feet distant from me, with his face turned in my direction, I could not emit a sound nor make the least movement to attract his attention. It seemed as if I was being irresistibly drawn up, with a horrible feeling of being consumed by elec- tric fluid. I fully reahzed my_ position and believed that my time had come. Whilo receiving the shock my eye- sight was good until I became unconscious, Of course, I “was unable to let go my hold of the wire or move my foot from the iron that rounded me until I became unconscious, then the weight of my body loosened _my hold on the wire and I fellto the ground. I lay like dead, my heart pulsations entirely ceased and also the circulation. Two fellow workmen saw me drop. They carried me to the fresh air, stretched me on the gmat ground, applied ice water douches to me, and worked my arms to promote circulation and artificial respiration. After the lapse of twenty minutes, when I was about to be given up for dead, signs of life re- turned. At first I was dazed, could not under- stand what had happened; in a few min- utes, though, I remembered every thing distinctly, and got up, feeling very weak, particularly in the stomach, After a few days, however, the weakness from the shock wore away, and I reguined my usual health. There was no actual pain dur the shock, but where the wire touched my hand it burned to the bone, and the ends of the three smaller toes were burned to the bone also. “T have since fixed the time I sustained the shock at six seconds. The dynamo to which the wire was attached generated a direct current of 2,500 volts and thirty-eight am- peres, which is equivalent to the power above mentioned.” “---—--+e0- -—__. He Felt Guilty. From the Merchant Traveler. “What's the matter, Simpkins?” said a travel- ing man to a friend, “You look down-hearted.” “Well, to tell you the truth, I feel really ashamed of myself.” “Why?” “This morning, when I went down to break- fast, my wife remarked that I was out rather late last night. I looked for our first domestic quarrel then and there.” “Did it occur?” “No; my wife simply looked up from my coat that she had in her hand and said: “George, where did you get these big red, white and blue buttons?

Remarkable Recovery of a Young Man Who Cut His Throat. A remarkable recovery is that of Thomas Sweitzer, the young man who, four weeks ago, in Allentown, Pa., attempted to commit suicide by gashing his wrists and cutting bis throat. In order to procure a razor to do the work he first broke open a barber shop and, with razor in hand, walked three blocks to the house of friend, and while standing on the curb at mid- night drew the keen weapon across his throat, inflicting a gash which lacerated the larynx and esophagus, Falling in the gutter from weakness occasioned by loss of blood, he be- came unconscious and would soon have bled to death had not his moans attracted the attention of his friend’s mother, who aroused her son. Two physicians were summoned and removed the young man to his mother’s house, and atter stitching up the ugly wound had him removed to the county hospital. The mother and young man were informed that he could not possibly live, but before a week he showed signs of im- (eigen sy began to eat, wanted to live, and ‘is improvement has been steady ever since, Yesterday be was permitted to leave the in- stitution, and walked the streets of the city with his neck bandaged.

The boat is delayed a moment or so and the captain looks stern, until she smiles; then all is serene and even the piston-rod rushes back and forth more gleefully. At Chautauqua it takes her just seven min- utes to find her season tickets, but the time is spent in “sassing” the gate keeper. At the table the summer girl is the magnet that draws all waiters. They strive madly for her order, and happy is he who gets it. When it is served, however, the poor youth is so nerv- ous that he brings her onions instead of orange fritters, spills the green peas on her dress and drops the butter pat on the floor. Every time the summer girl sees a hotel register she put her name down in attractive script. In the evening the fair-faced girl with pretty freckles is still in a hurry, and fre- quently she bumps her head against the ropes hung low to prevent teams passi At the concert in the amphitheater she urrounded by six young men, one on each side, two on the seat in frout and two behind. All talk to her at once, and she is equal toa half of all the conversation, The faults of the summer girl are counted under two indictments, a devouring devotion to ice cream and a too ponderous hand bag. Mere words cannot do justice to the ice cream indis- cretion, but there are deep thoughts that vainly struggle for utterance in the breast of every man who has considered this great and grow- ing evil, The hand bag is dark hued and is as heavy as a sand bag. It contains candy, pea- nuts, a case of gum, a novel for private read- ing and for public use, a dainty summer book in which neat rivulets of prose murmur through meadows of margin, a tin type of herself and best young man taken at Point Chautauqua during a small oasis of gravity in a wide desert or giggles and beyond many other things, way down in the hand bag next to the widening rip in the seam, is a purse containing season tickets und small debris. ‘The summer girl is witty. She is |, gen- erous, sensible and pretty, and with all her faults we love her still, But she is never still, Phantom Pictures of Montreal. A dispatch from Victoria, B. C., says Prof. Willoughby, who has visited the Alaskan coast for many yekrs, a short time ago visited “Muir's Glacier” and took a shot at it with his camera, He was startled by a most remarka- ble result, It was the phantom of a great city, with rows of high warehouses, factories with high chimneys, stately residences and elegant cburch spires. Various were the conjectures as to the locality from which the low was evolved. Victoria, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco were all suggested, but none met the requirements. Atlasta French Canadian re- cognized the Windsor hotel, the dome of the new Catholie cathedral near the hotel and No- tre Dame, with Mount Royal in the distance, The mysterious city was the phantom of Mon- treal, nearly 4,000 miles aw: The professor has had a large number of pace struck off, and it is the wonder of the day. An Indian Prisoner’s Daring Escape.

SAVED HIS LIFE, Our oldest child, now six years of age, when an in- fant six months old was attacked with virulent malignant skin disease, All ordinary remedies failing, we called our family physician, wuo attempted to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible rapidity, un- til tae lower portion of the little fellow's person, from the middle of his back down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotched and malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally we wore advised to try the Cuticura Remedies. Theeffect was simply marvelous. In three or four weeks a com- plete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow's Person us white and healthy as though he had never been attacked. In my opinion your valuable reme- dies saved his life, and to-day he isa strong, healthy chill, perfectly well, no repetition of the disease hav- ing ever occurred. * GEO. B.

My boy, aged nine years, has been troubled all his life with a very bad humor, which appeered all over his body in small red blotches, with » dry, white scab on them. Last year he was worse than ever, being cov- ered witn scabs from the top of his head to his feet, and continually growing worse, althongh he had beén treated by two physicians. Asa last resort I de- termined to try the Cuticurs Remedies, and am happy to say they did all that that Icould wish. Using them according to directions, the humor rapidly disap- peared, leaving the skin fair and smooth, and perform- ing a thorough cure. The Cuticura Remedies are all you claim for them. They are worth their weight in @old to any one troubled as my boy was. GEORGE F.

Suddenly came the final collapse, the balloon closing and falling over on the parachute. The crowd became very excited and men, women and children started on a run as the wrecked balloon with the unfortunate man came dashing lower and lower to the earth, until finally down all came with a terrible crash. The crowd then gathered around the gasping man, who was bi: freely at the mouth, ears, eyes and nose. For twenty minutes he did not speak or show signs of life. His first words were to ask if the le were a with the performance. The altitude is estimated to have reached is 700 feet.

Hout leaves sch been hiding about haystacks and hedges in that section. Hundreds of people have seen her is described as having regular features, dark hair, much grace of bearing and to be really beautiful, except for an inrane glare in her eyes. Her clothing is scant but not un- couth, and altogether she is rather a pictur- esque sight, She carries a revolver and has, once or twice, threatened venturesome people with it, When disturbed she has the mien of a tiger. Presum- ably. she is an escaped lunatic, although no trace of her identity can be found. The coun- trv people regard and, so-far, no effort has been made to capture her. She lives on fruit. apparently, and seems held by Mins | gon, | content to sit for hours looking at the sky, s0 | long as letalone. There is talkof sending officer out to arrest her. ——_ eee. Another Lincoln Story. From August Wide Awake. President Lincoln bad been during our most stormy weather to visit the camps of the gen- erals in Virginia and taken a violent cold. Mre. Lincoln was in despair, and one day said to Sec- retary Stanton: “I do wish you would lock Mr. Lincoln out of the rooms for a week. He is ill enough to be in bed Jnow, and suffers agomies with his arm from acute rheumatism. I don't know what todo. He goes out and keeps at work every moment.” Mr. Lincoln waved his long arm at the Secre- tary, saying: ‘Well, Stanton, there ought to be one comfort for my poor wife, anyhow—the same that the poor man Jefferson had, whose only son died, Did youever heard the story? His friends, family, neighbors, and church lamented, extolled, and grieved over the loss at the funeral, when Jefferson himeelf arose and said, ‘My dear friends: We have the blessed consulation of knowing that everything was done that could be done. He was bled no less than twenty-four times in twenty-four hours; but he had no strength and had to die.’ Now I've been wrapped in no less than twenty- four pieces of red flannel and liniment since yesterday, and still my wife isn’t satisfied.” War Dorr You take Hood's Sarsaparills if you have impure bivod, have lost your appetite, have that tired tecling wonders for€housands of afflicte,' people, and, if given a fair trial, is reasonably certain to do you good. “I have been troubled s great deal with headache, had no appetite, no strength, and feltas mean as any one couid and be about my work.
