People who travel on the Brightwood railway see no good reason for reducing the speed of the cars down to the dog-trot jog which some who have time enough to go on foot are de- manding. The road is in good condition, straight asa string, the conductors and_ motor men are careful and alert and have the cars under perfect control. On the crowded streets of the city there are good grounds for de- ing slow speed, especially by those who car tracks to the sidewalk. or whose wsicial and other infirmities render them fable to accident, but in the open country,on a wide and smooth road, where there is no possi- Die danger when reasonable care is exercised, don’t compel us who live in Takoma and be- Yond to be longer getting in and out of town than it would take to walk.

While Iam not familiar with the facts in this particular ease, I believe the white man is generally the aggressor, and I remember how the Indians have been treated in other cases; how the Uncompahgre Ute Indians were driven from their homes in Colorado through the in- fuence of the U.S. commissioners to locate lands could be found for them there, according to the agreement. One of these commissioners announced publicly, according to Denver Papers, that he was not going to find land for them in Colorado. but was going to have them moved out of the state. eurveyor, Daniel G jor, said he found an abundance of land in Coiorado and be sur- ¥eyed considerable for allotments to these Indians, but his reports were unheeded and the Indians were moved into Utah. I remember well what Mr. Major satd to us in the general | Jand office about the lands and the pitiful sight of these Indians being moved by military force from their old homes.

Those who furnished the milk to ths dealers were anxious that their places should be inspected, and at the instance of Mr. J. P. Kelly the inspection was made Inst week. Prof. J. D. Hird, the chemist of the health ction and yester- day afternoon he handed in his report to Health Officer Hammett. The report is as fol- lows: TWELVE DAIRIES VISITED. In compliance with your instructions [ spent the greater portion of two days inspecting the dairy farms of Germantown and vicinity. D ing the time specified I visited twelve dairies and examined carefully the condition of the cows, stables, water supply, milk cans and re- ceptacles, methods of cooling and handling the mili, the supply and quality of feed. the monnt of milk produced and to whom con- igned. To questi 1. Do you or have you ever colored your milk? h of the shippers I asked the following 2 Have you ever added any water or other | material to your milk? 8. Have you ever removed any cream from the milk? 4. Have you ever separated the strippings from tho rest of the milk? 5. Do you ever sell any cream? 6. Do you make your own butter? To the above questions, with the exception of the last one, the emphatic answer in each in- | stance was “No. In rep!y to the last question I was informed that oceasionslly when they were unable to dispose of all the milk produced they would make butter from the cream of the surplus of milk produced, but in general they bought their butter. METHOD OF HANDLING THE MILK. ‘The method of handling the milk is pretty much the same in all cases, and is as follows: The cows are driven mto the stable and each one secured in a separate stall. Here the cows are milked, usually by colored help. As fast as the milk is produced it 14 strained into a five or ten-gallon can, which is immediately, when filled, set in a large tank of cold water. milk is then agitated by stirring until it ha cooled to a temperature of about 70 degree ‘The cans are then allowed to stand in the water until it is necessary to take them out for ship- ment. On an average, I was told, it required about a half hour to cool the milk to the re- quired temperature if properly stirred. This was the method followed in every in- stance with the exception of Col. Boyd. Here the milk was strained first into a large boiler with a stop-cock at the bottom. From this stop-cock the milk passes through another ‘ner and then flows over x convoluted sur- resembling in size and appearance an Within this piece of ap- faci ordinary washboard. Paratus flows a stream of cold water, which suf- fices to cool the milk thoroughly in the short space of time that the milk is flowing over the cooler. It is then collected in ten-gallon cans, which are immediately placed in a large vat of cold water, where they remain until ready for ship- ment. CONDITION OF THE STABLES. ‘The first farm visited was that of Mr. J. P. Kelly, at whose instance the mvestigation was made. Here I found everything in good order The cattle were in good condition, the stables were cleanly and well limed, the water supply excellent and the method of handling and cool- ing the milk all that could be desired. The cans which were ready for shipping were also clean and bright. I noticed the same trouble here, however, that I did everywhere, namely, that the cans which had recently been returned from the city contained sour milk and were generally filthy. ‘The same conditions of cleanliness and care were found to exist at the farms of Mr. Snyder, Mr. Greusendorf, J. D. Dorsey, Mr. H. A. Pumphrey, C. L.’ Hickerson, Mr. Boland, Mr. Benson, Henderson and Boyd. The cooling arrangement at Mr. Hickerson’s ‘was not all that could be desired, as the trough in which the cans are immersed was too sma!l to do the work effectually. I learn, however, that it is the intention of Mr. Hickerson to re- place the same by @ more commodious recep- tacle at an early date. The farm of Mr. H. D. Waters was far from what it should it be. There I learned that there was a great scarcity d¥ food, the principal diet being cotton seed hulls. The cows aj peared tobe half starved, while their hind- juarters were more or less covered with a ferti- | izing ingredient of their own production. The | water supply, drawn from a well located amid piles of manure, was thoroughly contaminated and totally unfit for use. A sample of water drawn from the same showed numerous living organisms, visible to the naked eye. The cans, however, were clean,and the man in charge was evidently trying to do the best he could with the limited means at his disposal. ‘The farm of Mr. Richter showed « similar condition existing in regard to scarcity of food, impoverished condition of the cattle and un- cleanliness. The water supply, however, was good and the cans were clean, and of my visit two or three young darkies were in the act of relieving the cows of their milk. ‘The Inst stable visited was that of Col. Boyd of Boyd's station. This was by far the largest and niost complete dairy visited. The system of handling the milk and care and cleanliness of the stable was as near perfection as such an | establishment can be brought to. DATA OBTAINED. From the different producers I obtained the | following data: J.P. Kelly, averages 50 gallons of milk. Con- signed to E. Wagner. P ‘Mr. Snyder, averages 30 gallons of milk. Consigned to C. Thompson. H. D. Waters, averages 25 gallons of milk. | Consigned to produce exchange. lands for these Utes in Colorado if suitable | Greusendorf. averages 20 gallons of milk. Consigned to D. C. Holtz. Richter, averages 20 gallons of milk. Con- signed to D. G. Mount. Dorsey, averages 20 gallons of milk. signed to D. D. Holtz. Pumphrey, averages 20 gallons of milk. Con- signed to Hiekerson, averages 25 gallons of milk. Con- signed to F. R. Horner. Boland, averages 25 gallons of milk. Con- signed to F. R. Horner. Benson, averages 70 gallons of milk. Con- signed to E. Wagner. Henderson, averages 70 gallons of milk. Con- signed to D. C. Holtz. Boyd, averages 9 gallons of milk. Con- signed to C. Thompson. From a sanitary standpoint it would seem desirable that the cans before they are returned to the producer should be at least cleaned with cold water, especially as they are often used, so I am informed, as a churn for the production of butter. Buttermilk and sour cream adher- Con- | ing to the sides of the vessel can only be re- moved with difficulty, so that every effort to overcome this difficulty should be made by the | retail dealer, as well ns by the producer. “This might «ply equally as well to the householders, who nlMost invariably return the receptacies furnished by the dealers unwashed. This last | statement is made from the reports of the dairy- men and not from my own observation. —— The Bancroft Sale. The household effects of the Inte Hon. Geo.

Advt. the ‘time | AMUSEMENTS. ‘Natronat.—There wasn't a vacant seat in the National Theater tast night, a result, partiall, of the fact that it was the only one of the lead~ ing houses open and moro because Mr. Jobn | ted Drew and his compiny of players were bil todo “The Masked Ball,” and people. wan to see “The Masked Ball.” Some of our “best” | | folks were there, including Mra, Cleveland in one bor, the Brices in another and a lot more sexttered about in a graceful and reserved pro- | | fusion. Mr. Drew and his players appreciated this and played fully up to the standard. At the close of the first act he was called before the curtain two or three times and the curtain | at the close of each act had a way of bouncing | | up and down, which was especially gratifying | | to thoso behind it. “The Masked Ball” | |is from the French, adapted by Mr. Clyde Fitch and Americanized and mor-| |alized by public sentiment, so that it \is perfectly proper for the delectation, if not the high moral elevation, of the young of both | sexes.* All the players—Mr. John Drew, Mr. Harry Harwood, Mr. Harold Russell, Mr. Leslie | Allen, Mr. Frank Lamb, Miss Maude Adams, | | Miss Virginia Buchanan, Miss Annie Adams and | Miss Lillian Florence-are exceptionaliy good. | | Mr. Drew is by far the best light comedian now | on the American stage. He has ease and grace | of manner, a mobile face capable of every shade of expression, is thoroughly natural and wins the good opinion of his audience by that artistic finish that conceals the perfect mechan- m by which the effect is produced. Mr. Drow | ix ably supported, and an extremely delicate and artistic piece of work was that done by Miss Maude Adams in an imitation of a tipsy | woman, It is so artistically done as almost to bea plea for intemperance. The dramatic | qualities of the play are of the superactive sort, which if done by less skillful players would be- come equine, so to speak. As they are, they are uproariously funny. The entire action of the play moved about a barmloes visit to a masked ball by the young wife (Miss Mande Adams) of Dr, Blondet (Mr. Drew), with the old husband (Mr. Harewood) of Mme. Poulard | (Miss Buchanan). There is no tragedy or sen- | timentalism or naughtiness in it and for that reason every woman in the audience can laugh | as much as she pleases and look at the man next te her without blushing, which is really delightful nowadays.

Firzsimtoxs’ Avprrortum.—A new program pleased large audiences at the “eontinnons per- formance” at Fitzsimmons’ Auditorium yes- terday. It contained many novelties that mado hits. among which were Celeste, who did a ing wire-walking act with a descent from tight wire to slack; Colby, a clever ventrilo- jist; the Cottrells in an amusing comedy sketch: Lottie West Symonds in Irish songs.and Harry James, who did a novel dancing ‘act. Charles Carter, the bey magician, made such a hit last week that he was re-engaged and he did many new tricks. Harry Weaver played the banjo and Henry T.

Harry Budworth, Kittie Randolph, Charles Walker and Dale Arm: ‘ong were seen in a farce-comedy entitled onfusion.” The new bill made a hit and will be continued all week.

Never Will Do It Again,” Miss Bindley’s performance on the xylophone, autoharp and musical glasses | and the specialties by W. J.

Among the variety artists are Connie Leslie and Lizz: Darling in character songs and dances, Mlle Ziteila and Maie Flynn in a comedy act, Phil and Chrissie Sheridan in songs and dances, Keating and Ardell in a unique musical turn and a number of other favorites. The bur- lesque, ‘The Merry Buccaneers; or, Love and Duty,” with Mlle Zitella in the leading role, made'an after-piece that found favor. James Carr, who won the prize of tt Kernan’s last night, will meet Tom MeInerney again tonight. The Irish champion, who was keenly disappointed in his effort to worst the young man in fifteen minutes, has bet 225 of his own money that he can throw Carr in ten minutes, | Carr has posted a forfeit in case of his non-ap- pearance. > LIQUOR CASES. The Proprietorof a Speak Easy Convicted and Sentenced. Frank Wade, a colored man accused of being the keeper of a “speak easy,” was tried in Jud ge Kimball's court yesterday and convicted. It was stated that Wade had been convicted of a similar offense come months ago, and Mr. | Pugh said he thought this was» case in which | the lowest fine, $250, should not be imposed. Considering the prisoner's knowledge and familiarity with the traffic and the law, the | judge made the penalty a fine of #400 or 120 days on the farm. Lawyer Moss, his connsel, gave notice of a motion for a new trial. ‘Mr. Pugh asked that one of the witnesses, a colored woman, be held on a charge of perjury | and the judge said he would consider the ap- | plication. | Arthur Cromwell wasaccused of having aided and abetted Carter Dixon in the sale of liquor. | His counsel demanded a jury trial and gave the necessary bond for the appearance of his client, ee i} United States Pension Examiner Randolph | Getchell of Harrisburg died suddenly in that | city Sunday evening of heart disease.

An Official Count Necessary to Decide the Lansburgh Contest. ink was crowded Inst evening with the enthusiastic adherents of the various contest- ants for the six free trips offered by Mr. Julius Lansburgh to the three most popular letter car- tiers and policemen in the city. It was con- clusively proven that the Washington people loved to vote, for although the contest has been | in progress but sixty days there were in the | the throwing of the “bones” has never ceased neighborhood of one million one hundred thou- | sand votes cast. In the letter carrier's contest Mr. Davis of Capitol Hill appears to have a walk over. The number of votes cast | for second and third prize is so close that it will require the official count to determine the winners. The same state of affairs exists in the policemen’s class. Sergeant Harbison of the sixth precinct walks away with his competitors, while the official count will | be necessary to determine the other lucky two. ‘The excitement in the Rink from 6 to 8 o'clock was intense, and it was estimated that more than one hundred thousand votes were cast in that short «pace of time. Mr, Lansburgh made | a short address at the close of the contest and thanked all present for their interest and effort in the contest. He also stated that asa | few hundred votes might change the standing of a contestant he preferred to await the official inspection and recount before deciding the winners, inasmuch as he had noticed quite « number of votes had been cast that were more than six days old and consequently would not be counted. At the close of his remarks some one proposed three cheers for Mr. Lansburgh, which were given with such a vim that it made the old Rink, as large as it was, tremble to its foundation. ape -OPERATIV!

THE GAME OF POKER, The Remarks of Mr. Friedman's Counsel Did Not Save Him From Sentence. There was a gambling case tried in the Police Court this morning, the most interesting fea- ture being the remarks of Lawyer Carrington in his argament to the court. Saloonkeeper Aaron Friedman was the de- fendant. He does business at No. 206 4! street southwest, and Policeman McNamara says there would be @ case of Sunday bar against him if his business had been conducted under a new license Inst Sunday. Several of Aaron's patrons were called and | they told the judge that they had played poker in the place. On at least one occasion there | was a “toll” or “draw down,” and the money went to pay for the cigars and drinks, It was | also shown that an upper room occupied by a car driver had been the scene of numerous poker games. Friedman denied the charge and he also de- nied that he knew what was meant by a “toll” or “draw down,” In arguing the case Mr. Carrington said that if his client was guilty he pitied the lawyers when they go on their shad bake, and be spoke from experience. “But,” said Judge Miller, “don't they wait until they get out of this jurisdiction?’ “Yes, your honor,” answered Mr. Carring- ton; “I'll give them credit for being smart enough for that Continuing, counsel said that the poker game was an American institution, and pad been indulged in by many great ‘men. He | mentioned the names of the late Gen, Grant | and the late President Arthur, and said it was well known that Henry Irving lost his money in the White House. Senators and membera of Congress,” he added, “indulge in the game the same as the | Witnesses in this ease had, but they, of course, have better rooms than ‘this car driver and | saloon keeper.” | Judge Miller held that the law had been vio- ade no difference so far as this defendant was concerned who else played| the game. The proof, however, failed to show a very ex- tensive game, and the court made the penalty lighter than usual, a fine of $25 or sixty day ‘The fine was paid. ee The Oficers Upheld.

The Anti-Single Tax Ticket Elected ¥ester- day—General Notes. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Hyarrevitte, Mp,, May 2, 1893. The municipal election passed off very quietly hero yesterday. The anti-single tax ticket was the only one in the field and the vote for town commissioners was as follows: Chas. A. Wells, 89; Francis H. Smith, 89; Joa. A Aman, 87; Geo. N. Walker, 2 This goes to show that the single tax men, contrary to the Predictions of their opponents, did not vote for secret candidates or make any fight whatever against the regular ticket. Mr. Jackson H. Ralston claims that at least twontyssingle tax men voted for the anti-single tax candidates and that therefore their strength out of the 89 votes cast only amounted to 69. He esti- mates the voters of the town to be about 165. The antis claim, however, that the single tax men were conspicuous for their absence, and that only two of their number voted, these | votes being cast for the regular ticket. Messrs, Wells, Smith and Aman received the largest vote ‘that has ever been cast in this town for commissioners and were consequently elected to serve for a term of two rs. Mr. Geo. N. Walker, who received the 2 votes, is also an | anti-single tax man. The new board of com- missioners will consist of Messrs. Wells, Smith, Aman, Lutimer and Long, the latter being the only single tax man among the five members. folden Rule Lodge, No. 45, 1.0.M., of this place met last night at Mechanics’ Hall’ and de- cided to give an entertaimment and supper in the hall next Monday nigat, Messrs.
