An encore was demanded, and, in fact, the audience seemed determined to have a double program, aa the band’s playing had awakened great enthusiasm. Sig.

The feature of the ev Program, a grand descriptive fantasia, Voyage of Columba: its first rendition in Washington, was then given and Prof. Favciulli’s artistic duality added materially to the excellence of the band’s phrasing. The pro- fessor originally wrote dis fantasia for Gil- band and that great leader pronounced it the finest piece of descriptive work ever written, At the conclu-ion of this piece the members of the band displayed their good fel- lowship and kind regard for their leader by presenting him with a beautifal ebony baton tipped with gold. ‘The professor acknowledged the gift in a feeling manner. A Chinese caprice rogram and another encore jattie Mead’s selection, a theme and variations by y urity and flexibility of her d elicited the most pronounced encore of the evening.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I observed recently that several persons were fined for waste of water and that the judge ad- monished the citizens to have their plumbing done ina better imanner, so as to avvid all this trouble. But what is a man to do when the fault is in the mains placed by the city oficials so near the surface that the freeze is at the connections witb these mains? This is my situation on square 725, fronting 2d strect northeast. All the pipes under my control are clear of | ice, but having been law abiding, the service pipe is now frozen at the main, and I am told that there isno prospect of relief by natural means before April. Accordingly, I must pay the District for a permit to get at aud a plumber to tempornrily remove the difficuity resulting from the gov- ernment's fault. And my case represents hun- dreds of others. It therefore seems to me that, instead of sending inspectors to lie in wait to catch and finesome poor householder—for that is the class they cem to watch most—who is tryi to get through a hard epeil of frost, whi the engineers of the city’ have provided for, not it would be wiser to have them keep little watch of the progress of the frost and knowing the depth of the mains tosend inspectors to notify people when the frost approaches the line of connections with | the mains in any locality to let the water run ata certain rate, tho inspector giving particu- lar instructions in this regard. By this means much inconvenience, expense and danger would be saved and the pavements in the streets preserved, As now managed the citizen ia fined if he lets tho water run, and he is fined in cost of pet- mits and expenses if he keeps the rule, and the streets recently paved and in excellent con- dition are made a piece of patch work.

Senstor Gallinger today reported to the Sen- ate with « favorable recommendation the bill to create a board of charities, The report reads: “There is no diversion of opinion in the com- mittee that the numerous charities of the Dir- trict, which are supported to greater or lees extent by the annusl appropriations made by ‘Congress, should have the most careful and sys- tematic oversight possible in order both to pre- vent the waste of public money and to hold the officers of the institution accountable for eff- cient administration. ‘For the past two or three years almost all of the District charities have been supervised by ‘the superintendent of charities, Mr. A. G. War- ner, gentleman trained in’ the methods of charitable work. The system in vogue devel- a number of defects, some of which Mr. ‘arner has pointed out. Mr. Warner having been called toa more lucra- tive position the time seems an opportune one to make such a change in the methods of euper- vision as shall enlist the disinterested services of a number of persons who are both compe- tent and willing to perform the general work of supervising the charities, leaving the de- tails of administration ‘to secretary. The only provision in the bill to which exception has been taken is the one placing the Reform School for Boys under the control of the proposed board of charities in so far as the estimates are concerned. The claim was made on behalf of the trustees of that school that it wasa pensl and not a charitable institution, The committee, however, is of the opinion that the fact ‘that the Reform School is managed by a board, the members of which serve without compensation, fixes the status of the institution among the charities of the District so far as estates and appropria- tions are concorned.” The reports of the superintendent of charities, the Attorney Gen- eral and the Commissioners as to the reform school are attached. ——__-.-_____.

CERTAIN ADVERTISEMENTS FROM TRADE RIVALS, in America, contain innuendoes against it, and appeal to the authority of Dr. SYDNEY RINGER, Professor of Medicine ati ty Collegt, London. Author of the Standard “Handbook of Therapeutics.” This eminent physician ACTUALLY writ follows :— “From the careful analyses of Professor ATT= FreiD and others, I am satisfied that Messrs. Vax Hovren's Cocoa is in no way injurious to health, and that it is decidediy more nutritious than other Cocoas—It is certainly “Pure” and highiy diges- tible. ‘The quotations in certain advertisements from my book on Therapeutics are quite misieading and cannot possibly apply to Vax Hovren's Cocoa.” The false reflection on Vax Howten's Cocoa it thus effectually repelled and the very anthority cited to injure it, has therely been prompted 10 give ita very handsome testimonial, < EPILEPSY OR FITS, Can this disease be cured?
