SPECIAL SANITARY INSPECTORS: Mr. Mohler Urges Harmony and Resigns | The Commissioners Desire to Appoint Fifteen ‘When Opposed—Mr. Brown’s Explanation. | At the meeting of the Manogne central demo- | eratic committee last night Mr. Killmartin oc- eupied the chair in the absence of Chairman Manogue, who telegraphed from New York: “Things in New York all right. Don't surren- oa” j The object of the meeting was to receive re- ports from the committee appointed to make arrangements fot the ratification meeting here next month. When the committee on finance was reached its chairman, Mr. W. H. Mobler, took cceasion to explain his position in the contro- versy between the Weller and Manogue fac- tions, He stated that he wasa true democrat. for One Month. Commissioner Dongiass today sent the fol- lowing letter to the first controller: In contem- plating the unusual conditions that will obtain in this city during the coming month of Sep- tember when, it is estimated, not less than 300,000 people will be added to the population for the better part of one or two weeks, it has oc- curred to us that unusual care should be taken in the line of public cleanliness and health.

Mr. Patrick Cusick said be would never surrender. and Mr. Killmartin and Mr. Brown expressed the same sentiments, the lat- ter gentleman severel: menting upon the action of both Mr. Mobler and Mr. Weller. The chair finally declared the motion out of order. when Mr. Mohler gave notice that hereafter he would not serve on any committee of the Manogue (ction, nor would be aitiliate with either faction, and requested that his position on the Manogue committee be declared vacant. After Mr. James F. Brown had been granted permission to make a personal explanation the Committee adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. Mr. Brown, in his explanation, re- ferred to the comment made upon his recent Kensington speech, and «aid that he was the | son of n veteran, and one of the first organizers of that organization in this city. He was not making any thrusts at the «oldier in that speech, but his remarks were directed to the manage- ment of the Grand Army in this city, the publicans and the Weller committee having maade capital out of it. ‘The Weller committee had also apologized for it. He felt very much complimented by the action of that com! but was able ologies for hin when he felt like d The letter ogy written by ¥ Costello's name appeared as sec so-called committee, he would discuss later.

Lady Violet Greville in the Nineteenth Century. Burmah is the paradise of women. From the wicked Queen of Thecbuw, who mur- dered seventy relations in a single day be- cause they were in the way, to the pretty girls who coquettisbly hold stalls fn the bazar, in order to maintain their independ- ence, Burmah is the land of women par ex- cellence. Women and priests—who is it said they were the two curses of humanity? Well, there they are, and nobody seems much the worse for them. In the bazars aro women selling women’s things. Little tiny clogs and slippers of Cin- derella-like dimensions and daintiness of the colors of the rainbow, gold-embroidered, ver embroidered, pearl-embroidered, high- heeled, pointed-toed. Of Paris fashions you see nothing out here, and yet what strange and wondrous effects! All Burmah is a lesson in color, a fenst for the artist eve, a mass of barbaric splendor, costly intricacy of carving, dazzling yellows, brilliant pink, Tose madder, cerulean blue, burnt umber—a palette full of tints, Verily a paradise of open-air feasts, of fun and frolic. of dancing and singing children is Burmah, the home of the brightest, merriest, most good-tempered and good-hearted of chil- dren, who lounge im the sun, profiting by a cli- mate and a soil that makes severe Inbor unneces- wary. Flat faces have they: high cheek bones: narrow, long. intelligent eyes, hair plentiful and shiny, plaited in a long pigtail by both men and women, brushed up. fashionrb! - on the top of the head, and by the womer: ‘eco- rated with flowers, ‘The feminine dress of all classes consiste of a plain loose white jacket reaching to below the waist, narrow sleeves (fashionable again) and a fight petticoat of silk clasped round their hips with a pin ang! managed when they walk inimitnble grace.

Flowers seem to be their ideal and they them- selves are as like flowers as possible. Better class houses have no walls, only slidiug green shutters, which when open, as they are at night, disclose a vista of plants and flowers such that you seem verily tolive ina garden, Out of doors the vegetation is green, rank and luxuriant, while a moist warmth, insidious and deadly to the health of the Europeans in the long run, gently fans your cheeks.

The feminine court costume was a very quaint one. It was in the shape of a pair of stiff wings ending ina kind of tail, so that the lady could not powsibiy sit down, but, as she was intended to crawl in tho royal presence, this did not mat- ter much. On the head was worn some kind of high headgear resembling a helmet stuck asfull of diamonds asa Christmas pudding of plums. The wings seem to have been made of wire covered with gold foil, and the appear- ance of the court beauti¢és must have n quaint and ungainly, to say the least of it. The Burmans almost realize the ideal of the Romans, for they are always en fote, perambu- ldting the streets adorned with flowers and surrounded by twinkling lights and colored lanterns, Then the pwes or dances oc- cupy.a good deal of time, girls are brought up from their earliest infancy to exercise them- selves in all manner of queer contortions.

Most Ameri- cans who come to Paris for so lon; stay bring with them their own necessities and well-de- fined views of the means of providing for them. For the merely curious reader, as well as for those who think of living for a time in Paris, a few details of Parisian boarding-house life will | help to form a standard of comparison. USUAL PRICE FOR BOARD, The usual price for pension, or complete board and lodging, in @ good location is from $2to 3a day. Three dollars » day is high, nd ought to give a handsomely furnished e Grand Hotel itself, that very para- of rich American tourists, ‘publicly ‘adver- tises complete board and lodging for 84 day. This includes the usual portion of good wine from the Hotel Cave, which is quite famous. Doubtless there are many people living at the largest hotels with their excellent appoint, ments and really ich tables for less than $20 a’ week. For those who can easily afford it and | who dislike responsibility and attention to de- | tails these give cause rices in themselves are sufficient to fore going to housekeeping. On the other hand, pension prices do not reduce themselves as easily as they rise. There are boarding houses, and on the avenue of the Champs Elysees at that, which advertise com- | plete pension for $1. day. Here one is natur- | ally skeptical, considering the pretentious ad- 36 | dress. Doubtless board with ’ a food and fair wine can be had in a little French family for that price, but with all the restraint of home life differing at every point from one’s own, and with the money-grasping propensities of the needy Frenchman to ‘contend with in the matter of little extras, repaire, alleged break- ages and soon. So that the attempt to reduce boarding house expenses below a certain point not far from a $1.50 a day, iv likely, if nothing worse. to afford 8 confirmation Mr. Brown- ing’s lines: ‘Oh, the little m ye much it fs; HOUSEREEPING PREFERABLE. Supposing that a stay in Paris of three months or more is intended, with a moderate knowledge of the language and the possession of a few acquaintances housekeeping is often preferable to boarding. A family of four adults, I believe, can live well ina handsomely furnished flat for something less than 2. day each. This will include the wages of a bonne. that is to say, a maid of all work, and wine of fair quality at table. It will also inclide water in bettles, spring water charged with gas and very much like the plain soda of our own coun- try; for in summer time especially the ordinary water of the Paris pipes is not to be depended on. Each quarter of the city in its turn has the offensive and unhealthy water of the Seine thrust upon it from time to time, as there is not enough of the good water of the Vanne for all. It ix true, however, that thia state of affair has only begun of late, and promises to be remedied in a few yeu! There will be a consideruble advantage over a $2 or even a € a day pension; first of al d size of rooms, then in quality of food (though not in its quantity), in the quality of wine and in natural freedom. Students excepted, few Americans live on the’ south side of the Seine. Here is the old cite, the Latin Quarter and the Faubourg St. Ger- main—the Paris of history, the Paris of Balza but for ordinary Americans, they do not feel at home in it. Necessarily they are more familiar with what those of the Faubourg St. Germain call the Faubourg des Singes, the Faubourg of Monkeys—that life which radiates from the great boulevards and hus its center at the Opera House or the Church of the Madelaine. Roughly, the American quarter is that newly built and central portion of Paris which lies north of the Seine, west of the Place de la Concorde and is cut off on the northeast by the Boulevard Maletherbes. Its center is not far from the Place de l'Etoile. In this neighborhood a hand- somely furnished flat cah be obtained for $100 amonth. It will consist of an ante salon, a large salon, three or four bed rooms, a large dining room, butler's pantry and kitchen. Fur- nished means completely furnished, and in a style considerably better than the bed rooms of the best hotels. ‘The dining room especially is nearly always rich in heavy carved wood fur- niture. The salon will be quite splendid, one bed room adjoining it will be furnished in the same luxuriance and the other bed roome will be fairly large and comfortable. ‘The furniture includes bed covering (linen excepted), table service for twelve covers and ware for five wines and a complete set of kitchen uten- sils, ver is excepted, THE MODUS OPERANDI. In order to have a good choice of apartments it ia advisable to consult a house agent, who thongh he acts in the interest of his landlord will treat you fairly. ,It is necessary in every case to inspect an apartment carefully before signing the lease for it. The “maisons meublees” are to be avoided, not only because a slightly doubtful flavor clings to the name, but also because they are to be dirty and ill cared for. The reason for this lies in the mixed and transient character of their guests, One should also avoid the “exceptional occa- sion” on subrepting the apartment and farni- ture of a private French family, for the French- man who rents his own house and personal be- longings to the foreigner is apt to valne them very much too highly. The best kind of a land- lord ix a small or large speculator. Paris is a city of apartment houses, Excepting the very rich, who cau afford great houses, few of the ople in the city proper occupy separate jomes. When an investor therefore’ wishes to put money into real estate he will need a great deal to build or buy ahouse, as the houses are all eo large. dnevitably a great deal of country finds investment in real estate must in Paris seek other and often curious means of employment. Speculation in leases is a favorite method. A rich insurance company builds a block of apartment houses. The apeculatpr secres One or a number of the fists on a long leave of three, five or ten years, at the lowest price that will pay the company a steady and sure income. These he furnishes according to his tabte or disposition, often getting heavy and rich woodwork from the artistic furniture sales of the Hotel Druot. He then sublets the ay ment he has furnished and made himeelf re- sponsible for, and sublets it ats much higher price. If he is lucky enongh to keep it always occupied he will make a large profit. - It is here that the speculation comes in. This summer, for instance, has been a bad one for hotel keep” ers, boarding house — and renters of rooms and apartments, use the cholera scare has had the effect’ of keeping so many strangers out of Paris, 70 INVENTORY THE FURNITURE.

The octroi receipts of Paris amount every year to mething like $30,000,000. Of ~ this d 801 $12,000,000 are from wine and liquors, while $6,000,000 are collected on eatables, and @3,000,000 more on fuel and other combustibles.

An objection frequently advanced to the use of cold over the spine, and a formidable one to combat, on account of its universal prevalence, isthe impression that it will “chill the body”— “it is heroic”—and must be exceedingly dis- The real fact, how- ever, is that with people who already suffer from cold sensations, cold or cool legs and feet, cold arms and hands, or cold body, no known remedy acts more quickly, powerfully and pleasantly to overcome this abnormal condi- tion.

The difficulty arising ind the public from ac- i one. t is practica pplied locally upon the surface of the body, except during the process of inflammatory diseases or active congestions, will and does chill the individual; and thus it is argued that cold over the spine must inevitably produce the same effect. Sach a conclusion is totally erroneous, My belief is that a cool or cold surface of the body or ex- tremities not due to some immediate local cause, such as exposure to cold, &e., but form- ing a constant factor in the daily life of the in- dividual, is the resultant of an increased cireu- lation, greater than normal, of bibod within certain nervous centers—the ‘sympathetic gan- glia—situated close to the spinal cord; and whose chief function for many years has been declared to be by many eminent physiologists that of contraction of the arteries, These knots of nervous material or vasomotor centers, hay- ing thetr functions increased by the stimulation of more arterial blood than is required for their healthy action, issue more forcible nervous currents through their nerves to the elastic . | and contractile couts of the smaller arteries in the body and extremities, causing in these ves- sels a powerful closure.
