Then came the prize fight be- tween Sullivan and Jackson, two cate, colored respectively white and black. Their front paws were incased in miniature boxing gloves, nd when Prof. Hampton called time they jumped in the ring and pummeled away in real Sultivanic style.

To the Eaitor of The Evening Star: ‘There are things of vast importance we are from daily usage in the havit of not including im our thoughts, of not looking at from more than one point of view. Amoug these subjects of general knowledge and little consideration may be placed the dangers to the living arising from the decaying of the dead in cemeteries. Poi- wonous chemical compounds are formed in great abundance and distributed through ran- ning streams and passing winds. ‘fhe germs of virulent and fatal diseases are also kept alive, fostered and disseminated in bke man- ner. These germs may remain in the grave for centuries, then again reach the living. De- structive epidemics may originate from the :n- cautious opening of a long-clo«d grave, as was once the case with yellow fever in New Or- Jeans.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: May I ask the use of your valuable columns to print a pertinent question or two relative to the special letter addressed to the House of Representatives by Acting Secretary Spaulding of the Treasury Department in relation to ex- penditures for the board of lady managers, world's Columbian exposition, for the fiscal your 1898, amounting in the aggrogate to $120,- ‘Tho Treasury Department, under a decision of the Attorney General, of date August 7, 1891, decided that this board of lady managers was not # board (ulthough it had been organized under legislative authority), but was simply subcommittee of the Columbian commission and its officers clerks of the commission. I would like to ask Mr. Spaulding if the At- torney General has reversed this decision (based upon the opinion of Judge Blodgett of the United States circuit court) and now recog- nizes this board as a body corporate of the world's Columbian exposition, as be puts it, and not of the commission, with the right to demand of Congress separate appropriatio @ quasi corporation. Or, if not, is there any jaw governiug the action of the House of Rep- resentatives which autuorizes Mr. Spaulding to seek a distinct appropriation for a subeom- mittee, whose “‘clerks” may disburs> the funds of this’ nation without the intervention of cor- porate tution, by-laws, condition precedent demanded by legi odies for the disbursement of the moneys of ‘the people? ucepE W. Couzixs, Board of Lady Managers of MissourL een Not = Special Protest Against the Russian Jews. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Mr. Sulzberger in his address last Sunday night assumes that the present active senti- ment in favor of,more restrictive immigration legislation arises, as he says, from a “defined Prejudice against the Jews and nothing else.” This cannot be the case, because this move- ment and the sentiment that actuates it are neither of them new. He says that it seems to him “significant that while no fault has been found with the great tide of immigration from other countries there should just now be raised @ cry agaiust immigration.” “ He surely cannot have mingled much with the natives of this country if this sentiment against unrestricted European immigration is new to him. Instead of being new it existed before he came here or was This feeling that Americans thomselves shall have sumething to say about who sball come here and how they shail com- port themsclves after they do come is no new idea, and while immigration societies and colonization companies are dividing this coun- try into sections and discussing how large a colony of foreigners shall be placed here or ow many can be provided for there, we who are ulready here and have with pride called it are to sit down and let Europe let colonies and ship loads upon us without because ina Christian country preju- dice end bigotry cannot prevail. That is all very well in oratory, but what nine out of ten Americans want are more restrictive and better enforced immigration regulations, U8 ———_ A Verdict of $1,000, In the Circuit Court, in the case of Fowler, administrator, against the Baltimore and Poto- maoRailroad Company, for damages to prop- erty on K between 3d and 4th streets southeast, the jury yesterday afternoon found a verdict for $1,000 for plaintiff.

Government Officers Tell How It ts Observed ‘on Work Controlled by Them. Gen. Casey, Col. Ernet and Commodore Fol- Ber testified before the House labor committee yesterday on the subject of the enforcement of the eight-hour labor law on government work. They all favored the law, and said that labor- ere working in these departments were never employed more than eight hours per day, ex- cept in cases of emergency, when they were Paid extra for the work and did it willingly. Commodore Folger said he believed it would be agreat blessing if the eight-hour system could be made universal. The Inbor and the ‘work wonld be vastly superior. At the Wash- ington navy yard he was turning out cheaper and better guns under eight hours’ work per day than contractors were doing under a ten- hour system. Under an efficient evatem of ad- ministration of government work a greater unit of production per hour could be obtained with only eight hours’ work permissible than nhours, and any difference in amount of time left owing to the two hours’ extra work yas more than made up by the improved qnal- ity of the work. For work of « high grade! the eight-hour system produced splendid resulta; for common labor it was not so great. The commodore said he dividea the men in the navy yards botween two political parties as far as possible, in order to prevent the neces- sity of turning out the whole force every four years. This was necessary to secure ef- ficiency. tration system has been adopted, by which men were given employ- mentas they were needed according to the order in which their names Were on the list. The system had worked well. The agitation caused in the neighborhood by the knowledge that when either party came in all men of the other party were to be turned out was intoler- able. Of course, sometimes a littie attention might be given an applicant because of @ re- quest from ® cabinet officer or Senator, but usually these men were referred to the regis- tration list. ———————~___ THE COURTS.
