Yesterday afternoon Health Officer Hammett fesued an order to the sanitary inspectors, call- ing their attention to the character of their work. The letter reads as follows: “On and after January 1, 1993, you will be required to visit and examine into the sanitary condition of all houses snd premises within the bounds of your district. This work must be done systematically, commencing at a given point in each square and continved from houre house daily, except Sunday, until each and every premises have been inspected and all | nuisances injurious to health thoroughly | eradicated, and the city put in such shape ax to defy the approach of any contagious disease or epidemic that might be engendered by accumu~ lations of filth, faulty plumbing or other nuisan- ces for which you are heid responsible. “The cities of Washington and Sexes u of Anacostia, Mount Pleasant, the sub- urbs and, in fact, the whole District of Colum- bin must'be cleared of all nuisances for which this department is responsible at the earliest possible moment, and you will be expected to Sxercise the utmost vigilance to that effect while not employed upon important special matters. “In the pursuance of this Ixbor you should be courteous in your intercourse with the people, impressing firmly upon them the neces- sity of complying with the law as laid down in the health ordinances. “With diligence, perseverance and constant attention to these insiructions it fs believed that on the approach of the warm season the District will be found clean, thus lightening your duties during the summer and protectin, ‘the public from invasion of disease and deat! that might occur if your work is not faithfully performed in the manner indicated.” a He Nearly Died. “Edward Mohun, driver, twenty-five yeare old,” was registered on the blotter at the 6th po- lice station about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, ‘The charge preferred against him was “drunk” and he was placed in a cell to be cared for until the effects of the liquor wore off. He had been picked up by Policeman Bateman at 7th street end Massachusetts avenue, where he had been knocked down while attempting to board a cable train in motion. Half an hour after being placed in the cell he became quietand looked as though he was dying. Jr. 8. L, Hannon was sent for and for a few minutes he could scarcely discover any signs of life. Under the physician's treatment the pa- tient rallied a little and was somewhat better, although his condition was still considered seri- ous. More Cars Needed. To the Faitor of The Evening Star Please say to President Hurt of the Washing- ton and Georgetown Railroad Company (pri- vately, of course,) that if he would act as con- ductor on the Lith street cars from to 10 o'clock a. m. and from 4 to 6 p. m. and en- eavor to push his way through the crowd to collect the fares we think he would say, “Boys, put on an extra,” and other conductors would say aloud, “Amen,” and the passengers would exclaim, “So let it be.” Puo Boxo Puszico. a Gast . Milk Adulteration. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Permit me the use of a few lines of your space to ask what I may do in a matter which is doubtless of as much importance to thou- sands of others as it is to me, For some time past the quality of the milk which bas been supplied me by a local dealer has been steadily deteriorating until it is some. Ihave remonstrated several times an: in response there has been temporary improve- ment, but now the supposititiously nutritous fluid is worse than ever before. Ie there an regular or irregular inepection of milk by governing authorities or is it left for indi- Viduals to seek redress in the courte? Is there alaw which can be depended upon to make sure the punishment of those who adulterate one of the most precious of food products’ HL. W. Ses Another Street Nomenclature Suggested. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The numerous suggestions for the reform of street nomenclature lately appearing. some wise and some otherwise, embolden me to offer just one more brief suggestion in the interest of ecnservatism. It is the common assent that the present alphabetical plan of designating the streets ruuning east and west is too uséfal and too well established to be given up,while certain defects, as undue brevity, the’ diftculty of making ont a single letter if obscurely written and the confusion between. certain letters as commonly written in script,e. g., K and R, are notorious. I would suggest a remedy which re- quires no legislation or revolutionary change; in fact, 1s already in practice to small extent. It is due to the consideration that many of our present lettered street names afford, when writ- ten out, very pretty aud brief and appropriate names ‘without regard to their alphabetical origin and significance. For example, 1 often write out for distinctness such names as Bee street, Sea street, Dee street, Eye street, Kay street, Ell street, Owe street, Pea street, Kew street, Tea street, Yew street, Wye street, &c. No one can fectual guard against the freq by postmen and expressmen of ¥, g for G, L for S, &c. Its gradual adoption would soon demonstrate ite utility. Very truly yours, H. H.B.

The recent sociable and donation party given by the Catholic Knights of Washington for the benefit of the orphan boys of, St. Joseph's Asylum was attended this year with its usual success, and although returns for tickets have not yet been made, we feel sure ‘that the proceeds will equal those of last year. The work was ably seconded by the com- mittee on donations, so it is not surprising that ‘most satisfactory results should come from the united efforts of thuse devoted gentlemen, who not only labored with untiring energy in solicit- ing contributions for the orphans, but con- tributed most generously themselves. Nothing ‘but the — promptings of faith could induce those gentlemen to leave their places of busi- ness, and thereby sacrifice their own interests, to further those of God's poor. desire to extend their grateful tribute of thanks to the Catholic Knights and the community at large for rous response to the appeal of the com- mittee on donations; while Mre. tocall.

INDIGENT COLORED WOMEN'S HOME. ‘Two years ago « bail was given at Linthioum ‘Hall and a dramatic entertainment at Mascnic Temple for the purpose of raising # fund to establish in Georgetown a home for indigent colored women. Both of the affairs proved financially successful, over $300 being realized, but, owing to certain drawbacks, the promoters of the charity have just been able to consum- mate their plans and locate at 2510 Fast street the much-to-be-comnfended home. The bouso selected is a two-story brick on the south side ot pheccesnos = and 26th, 10 the — street. and m tl old unoee: colored school building. Six oged, worthy women have already found a resting place here after seventy years of ‘toil, and two more may yet be accommodated. No one will be ad- mitted unless she has passed the allotted three- score and ten and is no longer able through feebieness or ill-bealth to support herself. The society having the home in charge is a non-sectarian one, it being the desire of the members to bave every church represented. Every one but the Catholic is already repre- sented and it is probable that at the next meet- ing of the managers one of the members of the Ladies’ Aid Society will accept the invitation to enter the board and thus complete the repre- sentation. As the new society will be under considerablo expense in paying the rent of the established home and keeping it warm and comfortable, it is hoped by the members that the able colored people of town will recognize the charity and ‘assist in furnishing the inmatos with food. - Among the ladies who bave worked hard for the home's establishment are: Miss Emily Kit- tenhouse, Mra. W. A. Leetch, Miss Ella Moore, Mrs. D. L. Wilson, Mrs. Edward L. Dent, Miss ‘Mrs. Edgar Frisby, Mre. John Patten, ‘Mrs. De'Schiede-and Mrs.’ James L.

Last night the stadents of Linthicum Insti- tute once more observed the pretty yearly cus- tom of presenting to the teachers some token of appreciation and regard and in response to the invitations sent out all were present to person- ally receive them but Mr. Weil. When the instructors’ platform was almost covered with chairs containing wise-looking men Mr. Guy V. Collins entered" the room and on behalf of the students told in season- able expressions the object of the fribering. Messrs. Barniger, Taylor, Wissner, Dent, Hed- rick, Hay and Weil, the teachers, were each re- membered with appropriate gifts, the presenta- tion speeches being made by Mossrs. Thos. Fleming, David Reynolds, Sebastian, Keliher, Ed. Smithand Collins. Mr. Al Duvall, the janitor of the building, also shared in the presentation, receiving from Mr. Robert W. Lowe, after the delivery of some witty remarks, a very accept- able article. After the boys had had their say the teachers all spoke pleasantly and Trustee W. A. Gordon, who occupied a seat among the teachers, added to the enjoyment of the occasion by making some very interesting remarks. 8T. JOHN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL. At 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon the Christ- mas exercises of St. John's Sunday school will be held in the church, corner of Potomac and reets.
