Superintendent Stevens Submits a Plan to the Commissionem, HOW HE PROPOSES TO MAKE THE BEACH ENTIRELY SAFE—THREE IXCLOSED POOLS OF AMPLE SIZE PROPOSED—RESULTS OF HIS STUDY OF THE SITUATION—THE PROBLEMS CONSIDERED. . Mr. W. X. Stevens, superintendent of the bathing beach, today submitted to the Com- missioners the following interesting report concerning the bathing beach: Acting 4s superintendent of the free public bathing beach I have the honor to call your attention to the following facts and arguments in favor of your recommending Congress to make liberal appropriation for the comple- tion and maintenance of the beach. The sum of $3,000 appropriated by the last Congress to test the practicability and utihty ofa free public bathing place proved inade- quate to a fair test for several reasons: First, the natural slant of the bottom at the | spot selected had been changed by dredging | close up to shore and putting the earth on the | bank in the process of reclaiming the Potomac ' fiats. This dredging was done after the bill creating the beach was passed and caused un- expected expense to return the earth. ‘ond, the grading contractor left his work 80 badly done under water that it could not be fully corrected with the amount of money re- maining of the appropriation, and the work was Hnally directed to obtaining the greatest. prac ticable d of safety, so that a test of the utility of a free bathing beach might be had this ‘season, these delays haying consumed nearly the whole summer. From the day when the first boat load of sand was spread the enthusiasm of the bathers knew no bounds. Over 3,000 bathers undressed in the tall weeds and used the beach before the dressing houses were permitted to be used, and before there were any keepers, excepting one iceman to keep order, and there were two | ys drowned in deep water beyond the north end of the beach without any outcry and unac- | countably. _ ‘The houses were opened very Inte in the sea- son and kept open only ten days, yet in that time about 1,500 bathers were red on the | keeper's book, and no compiaint has been made | to me by any person using the beach of any | dangerous spot on it. One boy swam out into deep water in front of the beach and disappeared unnoticed among the crowd, and with no friend to call attention to his absence was drowned. That these accidents have influenced the | minds of some unreasonably against the beach | Project is shown by a remark made tome. I was relating how many we had accommodated | at the beach, when a man in an influential | Position replied: “And how many have you drowned?” | ‘This I consider to be positive injustice. Let | me draw a parallel. ‘The public grounds of our city contain many beautiful parks, which are the pride of the city, und they serve as its very Is im their capacity as lungs for purifying | the air. and yet somebody was so inconsiderate as to publish est that the shrubbery be removed because it could be used to conceal improper conduct. But shall we lose our; splendid parks because they occasionally | chance to conceal what any house in the city | might conceal? Another: Our smoothly concreted streets are a great temptation to feckless driving and coasting, and many accidents occur thereby, but shall we return to cobblestones and mud- | wallow on that account? | Sharp knivgs cut many fingers, yet every boy | must have a Ul the sam | Like the parks, the bathing beach is health giving and invigorating and it may be made a place of beauty. Like the smoothly paved | streets the beach is attractive and excites im- | tuous acts, and like the jackkuife, danger | Forks Geneath tho careless ase of it ‘Now, I repeat, it is not only unfair, but abso- | lutely unjust to discredit the beach for drown- | ings which took place in deep water beyond it and not caused by any fault of it. In this re- | spect let me define what we have thus far called a safe beach. i It is» bottom under water, with no slant s0 | steep but that any nm or child when they | themselves going down it into deep water can stop and walk beck. ‘The only defect of any importauce in the grade as it now remains | is that the fill has not beeu carried out evenly, | mouth. This phase of catarrh is always accompanied by a fetid breath so revoltingly offensive as to Fender the sufferer an object of disgust to him- self as well as to others. Cases are occasionally met with in which the stench is really over- powering, suiticiently so to poison the etmos- phere of a whole room. A sufferer from this complaint is compelled to inhale poisonous efinvia of his own creation with every breath, While the ulceration, if unchecked, may result in the destruction of the bones of the nose, to the great disfigurement of the patient. For over thirty years I have devoted my ox- Clusive attention to the careful study and scien- titie investigation of the above complaint, and have succeeded in formulating ssystem of trest- ment which is absolutely painless, promptin its action, and positively curative in its effects. ‘From the first application great benefit is ex- Derienced, which continues from day to day Batil a final and permanent cure ts the result.

We must guard against accidents which result from recklessness. It has been suggested that the grading be ex- tended out two hundred feet from shore, leav- ing the water five fect deep at the outer edge at low tide, This would be nine fect deepat high tide, so that five-ninths of the twohundred feet would be all that could be used at any tide, and only two-nintha would be from three to five feet deep. ‘Then there could be no limit set to wading out into deep water more than can now be set, and the wharves would also require to be extended out the full two hundred feet, and all this work, including grading and covering with sand, would have to be done under water, entailing a heavy expense to do it well. Floating pools with plank bottoms have also been considered, but they are very expensive if they give any such arca ns we desire and they are in danger in every freshet or high wind. ‘Ten thousand dollars is the sum most frequentl suggested as a reasonable amount to be ex- pended the coming season, but that would fall far short of accomplishing either of the above plans, so Ihave been studying and calculating @ great varicty of plans to accomplish the most with £10,000, always lookiug— First, to safety Second, to plenty of bathing area for a great city. ‘Tied, to plenty of wharfage, since these stepped wharves have proved a great success, being the centers around which ail cluster who cannot swim. Fourth, to a perfectly even bottom. Fifth, to an invariable depth of water in spite of the tide, which has varied six feet from highest to lowest this season on account of winds and without any freshet. Sixth, to the greatest facilities for enjoyment by the public both as bathers and spectators, and, last, to make it a place of beauty worthy of the capital city and in keeping with the scenery wkich nature has provided at this point as a background. Asa result of my study I herewith submit a In the accompanying drawing thé wide resent dams, each inclosing a pool 100 feet across, and the central one a pool 225 feet across, ‘each provided with a gate whereby the water may be retainedat high tide and be held at that level or be let out when- ever a change is desirable. The right-hand or north pool may be three and x half feet deep for the use of women and children who cannot swim. . ‘The ceutral one from three to five feet deep excepting a nar- row diving hole fenced off at the further side, to be twelve feetdeep. ‘This will give plenty of swimming area, where any one may rest his feet on the bottom when tired, thus insuring the greatest measure of safety. Watchmen walking on the fence, which is a wharf, and on the dam may jump almost to the middle of the deep hole,carrying life lines,thus rendering boats unnecesmry. A ladder, a trapeze, a tumbling bar, &c., may be provided for gymnasts over the water where they cannot be hurt by a fall. The left-hand or south pool for colored folks may be disposed like the central pool, though the size of their pool gives them more swim- ming room per capita of bathers than the whites have. There may be tiers of seats like an amphi- theater for spectators all along the high bank. ‘The radial lines in the large pool and lines partly circling the small ones represent wharves for use of bathers. There should be three more blocks of fifty rooms each on the white side, a keeper's lodge, a telephone box for the police, outhouses and’ sentry boxes and all under the houses and around the brow of the embankment should be asphalt concreteda, for cleanliness. The bottoms of the pools aud top of dams to be sanded, the bank sown to grass, ® fountain in the center of the large pool and a carriage drive to overluok the whole. I have made this plan as the best that can be done for $10,000, and if that sum is appropriated early in the next session of Congress it may be ail done ready for use by next June. I suggest that if the public want guards enough to be of service the appropriation should also be over $1,200 for their pay. as follows: Four men at $60 a month each, boys at $15 each, for four months, irom Ju to October 1. ‘Lhe sum asked for is less would pavea street as long as the beach. Which do you think would give the greater amount of pleasure and comfort? Real estate men have suid that this project would add to the value of property for people seeking homes in this city. The capital of the nation should certainly have a little bit of water frontage in keeping with the style of the city, and no pretticr view can be found than that from the bank of the beach, I recommend the appropriation of $11,500, to bo expended, as above suggested, on the bath- ing beach for the coming season. FAINTED IN THE DOCK Exciting Scene at the Trial of a London “Crook.” ‘There was commenced at the “Old Bailey” in London yesterday one of the most remark- able trials in the history of British jurispru- dence. It is the trial, on the charge of black- mail, of » mysterious individual known as the “French Colonel." as “Le Grande,” as “‘Briseny Grant,” as “Capt. Anderson,” and as “Chas.

Even then there were but half of the delegates present. The labors of the previous two days had told upon the delegates and little enthusiasm was manifested at the opening. The committee on resolutions were the first to appear. Senator Tabor and Judge Goodwin, J. W. Donaldson and J. H. Knabel had carefully revised the report of the'commit- tee and eliminated therefrom all the trpograph- ieal errors. R. C. Powers of Arizona, an avowed advocate of free coinage, occupied an hour in discussing the use of silver from the carliest- days of the world’s history to the present time. E. R. Brown of Aspen was to the plut- form. He said: “America should declare the parity of the metale. Why shonld the United States consult with Great Britain? Why should they ask Belgium what to do? The United States could maintain any position she might take on the silver question.” At this juncture Senator Stewart arose and announced that hedid not own a share of Com- stock stock, thus refuting an old allegation Judge Harley Morse of Colorado ascended the stage and spoke for twenty minutes in favor of free coinage. MARTIN MAGINNIS DENOUNCES CAMPBELL. Hon. Martin Maginnis of Montana was loudly called for. He was enthusiastically cheered, and loud calls were made for him to take the stage, but he refueed, saying that he preferred to speak from his seat. He spoke eloquently for fifteen minutes. He denounced Cumpbell of Ohio in a scathmg manner for his cowardice in not advocating a platform upon which he was nominated. Congressman G. A. Cassidy of Nevada was called for. He deciared that every man, and child in Nevada were united in favor of freg and unlimited coiuage. | Mr. Cassidy ad~ Vodhted the forcing of the political parties to make that question the dominant issue in the next campaign, Judge Goodwin of Utah moved that the rules be suspended and the resolution for the free coinage of silver be passed by acclamation. ‘The Connecticut delegates objected to the passage of the resolution by acckimation. ‘The roll of the states was then called, with the fol- lowing results: For the free and unlimited coinage of sil- ve - 431 Against eas ae | When the state of Connecticut was reached great enthusiasm was manifested by a d gation from that state arising and saying tl they had come tolearn.

When the vote of Canadaand Russia was an- nounced in favor of the resolution there was another scene of confusion. When the total vote was declared there was a scene of inde- scrible excitement. Delegates arose in their seats, threw their hats in the air and shouted themselves hoarse. It was some minutes before order was restored. A telegram was sent to Hon. A. J. Warner of | Ohio, and the executive committee appointed at the St. Louis national silver convention, of Which he is chairman, thanking him for his efforts in behalf of ssilver. A resolution was passed asking Congress to ass law protecting agriculturists and such law or law# as may encourage and rehabilitate the industry of hydraulic mining and to pre- vent the damming of navigable streams. , A resolution was then passed asking Congress to protect the forests of the mountains and to encourage the cultivation of trees. —_——-eo—_____— ANACOSTIA.

Challemel-Lacour bas made a strong attack on the new tariff. Ho said that 30,000,000 Frenchmen would suffer from the over-protection afforded by the lay, and that prosperous France would be brought to ruin and isolated from the rest of the world. It would be better, he added, for France to re- new her treaties of commerce with foreign nationg. M. Dauphin, reporter of the tariff committee, reported i France could Jenuary 12, it will vote for United States ‘Senator to succeed Senator Sher- man. The party caucusses will probably be held on the Friday evening preceding the clec- tion, so that there romain yet a little more than six weeks of the hot contest now going on in the republican party bere for the caucus nomi- nation for this office. Little interest attaches to the democratic caucus, that party being hopelessly in the minority in both branches. The empty honor of democratic nomination for Senator will un- doubtedly be given to Gov. Campbell. While the general fecling here seems to be that Senator Sherman will succeed himself, the only basis for that belief seems to be the fact that the powers that be want him re-elected. As the days go by it becomes more and more apparent that Mr. Sherman is the administra tion candidate. The pronouncement of Secre- tary Foster is so interpreted here, and the Foraker men, if their declarations are true, are rather pleased with the Secretary's stand. ‘Tix Stax correspondent was pointed last evening to two men who will have a vote in this in- teresting caucus, who had not announced their senatorial preferences, when Secretary Foster's declaration was made, and who at once an- nounced themselves for Foraker, saying that if it was fa bean administration combination against a single man they would “stand by the under dog.” _It is au undeniable fact that President Har- rison's administration 1s not over-popular with the republicans of Ohio, and the appearance of his hand in thé contest here will do Foraker about as much good as harm. Immediately after the election the Sherman men were able to make a yery favorable show- ing, and it seemed that the serious inroads upon Foraker's in @ number of cases their claims were plainly proven to be unwarranted, and similur in- stances are coming te light every few days. ‘The publication in the Conimercial-(Gazetle of a letter from Mark W. Hanna of Cleveland to Chairman Haln of the state republican ex- eentive committee—both active Sherman men~-in which the writer claims to have made @ personal investigation of Sherman's strength in the northwest and finds that “‘we have been thoroughly deceived, it is strong for Foraker,” has created consternation in the Sherman ranks, “Will Blaine lend any of his influenee in Ohio to Foraker in this contest?” Tux Stan correspondent asked a well-known Foraker man here—one who is in the councils of For- aker's managers. can’t say now,” said he, “‘but we probably will know in a day or two.” He would not say whether a movement was on foot tending in that direction or not, but his conversation indicated that that was the case. It hus been known here for a long time that Foraker and Blaine were training to- gether. It was Foraker’s well-known admira- tion of Blaine that led his fellow delegates to the convention at Chicago in 1888 to suspect him of “knifing” Sherman. He was openly charged with this treachery by Congressman Grosvenor, und the scene that ensued between these twe distinguished Ohioans in the lobby of the Grand Pacitic was published in the press far and wide. Since then the chasm between Foraker and his adherents and Sherman and his adherents has been gradually widening. It wus the cause of Foraker's defeat two years ago, and the probability is that, whatever be the result of this senatorial contest, the breach Wl be so widened that the Ohi» ‘republic will find themselves with the meubus of a fuc- tional quarrel upon them as heavy as that of the Platt and anti-Platte in New York. WHAT FORAKER'S PRIVATE SECRETARY SATS. Hon. Charles L. Kurtz, Gov. Foraker’s pri- Yate secretary, who seems to be managing his senatorial contest here, said to THE Stax corre- spondent Inst evening that he did not think there would be any further disclosure of the Foraker strength until the last week of the contest—pomibly not until the caucus meeting. He had observed that Sherman made a mistake in doing so. He did not doubt the word of any of the members that were pledgea to Foraker privately, and he did not care to subject them wannoyance by the hectoring from the Sher- man people that would be sure to foliow their announcement for Foraker. Mr. Kurtz declares that at no time since For- aker entered the contest has the prospect seemed more encouraging than it does now. Mr. Kurtz took a list of the republican news- papers in Ohio that have declared for Sherman and, running over it, showed how, in every case, the owners or editors are under obligu- tions to Sherman for political favors. “It’s a federal combination that Sherman is working,” said he; “that is plain to be seen.” From another prominent Foraker man here ‘Tue Stax correspondent learned that it bas been discovered that Secretary Foster bas been writing letters to repubiican members-elect of the general assembly for two weeks, trying to fix up the organization of the two houses in a way calculated to help Sherman. ‘They already have one such letter written to a Cleveland member and are on the track of another. which they hope to cecure in a day ortwo. It is prob- ably the intention of the Foraker men to use these to counteract theannouncementot Foster for Sherman. While the general feeling here is that Sher- man will win in the end, is is evident that the contest is not so nearly decided now as the Sherman men would have the public believe; that Foraker is going to be mit at least to the homestretch and Senator Sherman will have to run his best, and to the very last, in order to win in this race. It will be very interesting all the way through. FORAKER COMING BACK HER Foraker passed through here on his way home from the east this week, but did not stop off, Mr. Kurtz being the only person with whom he consulted. He returns to Washing- ton Sunday and will appear before the national republican committee in behalf of Cifcinnati as the place for holding the national republican convention 1.ext year. a Opposing Salvation Army Methods.

To such we would say, by all means se- cure a bottle of this wonderful remedy and watch its aarvelous effect, It is the most perfect cure known for headache. “For over twenty years my life was made miser- able by frequent and terrible headaches. At times they were 80 severe I feared I would go insane. Noone could suffer worse than I did. I bought Dr. Greene's Nervura, aud the very first bottle stopped the headachgs, aud J never had any trow bie with my head since that time. After suffering for twenty years I was cured by Dr. Greene's Nervura. Mrs. MARY GREEN, Basin St, Norristown, Pa.” N. B.

MEASLES MAKES RAVAGES UPON THE HEAR- ING ORGANS-WITHIN THIRTY DAYS THE PATIENT WAS KESTORED TO HEALTH. Little Louise Klenk, the daughter of Mr. George Klenk, the well-known owner of an extensive bakery ‘Dusiness, residing at 2141 K st. n.w., and having stalls in Center, Street and Rigzs Markets, had an attack of measles early last spring, but during con- valescence it was uoticed that she was getting deaf and would not answer when spoken to. It became worse rapidiy until she was decidedly deaf and a discharge commenced torun from her ear, which became so Profuse that it was necessary to put pads over her ears to keep from running on her little bonnet whenever she went out. The discharge was very irritating, and excoriated Ler ears until they were nearly raw. wether with this there was a very decided odor, which could be noticed quite a distance. Mr. Klenk bad ‘sent her to two physicians, but the discharge and deaf- ness did not abate. Then Dr. Jordan of 606 13th st. n.w. was spoken of, and it was decided to give hima trial. He exam- ined her and said it was quite a severe case, but thought that he could cure it. Louise took kindly to the doctor, took her treatment very nicely, and seemed. ‘Yo be pleased to oand seehim. The condition com- menced to improve at once, the discharge grew less ‘rapidly, the odor ceased, her hearing improved, until today there is no discharge, no odor, her acute as ever, and physically as perfect as ever she inher life. This we claim is due to the skill Patience of Dr. Jordan, who, in this case, at least, ‘complished what others had failed to do. DR. C. M. JORDAN, €06 13TH STREET X. Ww.
