Department Commander 8. E. Faunce, De- | partment of the Potomae, G. A. R., bas through G. M. Husted issued the following order in rela- tion to Memorial day: I. Im accordance with the rales and regula- tions Tuesday, May 30. 1893, will be observed as Memorial day. “Cover their graves with the blossoms above, Heraid their deeds on the banners of love.” The lengthening sweep of the sun around the dial, the brightening skies, the fragrance-laden winds, the fields gay with flowers—all remind us of the near approach of the day consecrated to American patriotism. With each return of Memorial day its value tothe nation becomes more manifest, as well as its sweetly solemn importance to us who on that day unite in loving remembrance of those of our comrades who have preceded us to the hither shore. “Righteousness exalteth « nation,” say the Scriptures. Nothing so exalts this nation as that once ayear its people with one accord cease for time from the feverish labor of self-advancement, forget selfish aims, and, striving to pay honor to the memory of those who forget self to give all to the country’s salvation—that they take one day from sordid pursuits and seifish pleasures to | | dweil in tender recollection of those who gave | the last full measure of devotion to the cause | of tiberty and Union. In honoring those who died that the nation might live the people honor most themselves. he best indication of the character of men and nations is given by what they esteem and reverence. Itisour highest credit that we, of all of the countries of the earth, make our greatest national festival a celebration of the virtues of the men who sacrificed them- seives upon the altar of their country. fought bravely and died heroically, that all might be free and the nation’s life preserved. By so doing we ennoble manhood everswhere and lift all men to higher planes of effort. with the welcome duty of being the chief ministers in this gracious act. It is we, who know far better than any others how exalted were the services and sacrifices ef those who died, that should lead the | people in paying affectionate tributes to the memory of those to whom this favored land owes all of its happiness, its greatness and its prosperity. Let every comrade, whose physical condition will permit him to do so, join in the procession which moves with martial music, wreathed gar- lands and waving banners to those silent camps where our comrades lie "In low green tents, whose Curtains never outward swing.” IL The Sabbath preceding Memorial day is | being recognized as memorial Sunday. The | Rev. Stephen M. Newman, pastor of the Con- gregational Church, 10th and G streets north- west, will deliver a memorial sermon on Sun- day, the 28th instant, at 11a. m. Every com- rade should feel it his duty to attend on that occasion in uniform, if possible, the Grand Army badge being worn. ILL The attention of t commanders is in- vited to general orders No. 4, ¢. s., par. 7, gen- ral orders No. 5, par. 17, and general orders Xo. 6, par. 5, from national headquarters relative to donations to the fund for to decorate the graves of Union soldiers buried in southern cemeteries. ‘The purpose iss laudable one and the depatt- ment ——— expresses the wish that every post in this department make a prompt con- Eibution to this fund.

The Way the City Was Divided—What Has Already Been Accomplished—Five Months or More Required to Finish What Has Been Undertaken—Abating Nuisances. ‘The temporary sanitary inspectors engaged in the work of making the house-to-house in- spection are making progress satisfactory to the health department, althongh on account of the small number of men engaged in the service the work, it is thought, cannot be completed until the close of the summer months. The inspection is in charge of Mr. Benjamin F. Peters, one of the oldest clerks in the depart- ment, who, judging from the work thus far done, thinks it will take until October to make a thorough inspection of the entire city. There are twelve men engaged on the in- spection, and they went on duty March 17. At that time Health Officer Hammett gave them their general instructions in circular as fol- mses “The duties you are to perform are fu! in the blauk forms which t o% gentiemanly beb: ved.

AT WORK IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY. Armed with these instructions and » badge furnished them by the Commissioners, the in- spectors started outon their work, someof them being aided by the older and more experienced men. The city was divided into ten districts, the mall being a common dividing iine, and the work was then begun in the heart of the city, where the more densely populated parts of the districts lie. For that reason, itis stated, the in- spectors have perhaps made seemingly less head- way than they will make as they reach the outer boundaries of their respective districts. where population is less dense. ‘Thus far the in- spectors have averaged an inspection of three or four squares each week, the reports to the close of Inst week showing the work done as fol- lows: Laweul garb c an Unlawful carbaze receptacles. ses Se wered. 3 Premises without sewers. ne . 1.437 In addition to the work of the inspectors Health Officer Hammett realized the necessity of pressing into the service as many other health office employes as possible and the phy cians to the poor were among them. The health officer desired their co-operation in the matter, and even before the temporary in- spectors were appointed a letter was addressed commemorative of large crowds and a delight- ful time, and are looked forward to with pleas- ure by the friends of the order.

One of the most interesting exhibits in a musical way that the world’s fair has brought out 1s o collection of ten pianos especially made for exhibition by William Knabe & Co. of Baltimore. ‘The exhibit, which will be sent to Chicago early next week, will be exhibited there in the piano house of Lyon & Healy. It is now on exhibition in the Knabe ware rooms in Baltimore. The purpose of the firm was to produce in these pianos instruments which for musieal worth, beauty of design and perfegtion of workmanship have never been equaled. The case of one of instruments, designed by E. Coleutt, a noted English architect, to each of them as follows: “As health officer of the District of Columbia T our cheerful and voluntary co-operation in all matters pertaining to sanitation and. the conse- went heaith of the people. 1 fully rea‘ize that vour fusies as physician to the poor are onerous, for which You are insufficientiyremuners-ed, but permit me to burdens by requesting that in your daily family physician or in the discharge luties, you will report any and all ers that may come wader your observation which affect the sanitary condition of the District or ‘the health of its people.

PETERS SAYS. In conversation with a Star reporter Mr. Peters, who has charge of the temporary serv- ice or house-to-house inspection, said that the work thus far had been very satisfactory. The system, he said, was inaugurated by Dr. fammett because of the alarm expressed in the newspapers concerning the possible cholera epidemic in the United States this summer. “This system,” he said, “‘is unique, bearing, as it does, the cardinal idea of cleanliness. A tudy of the reports I think will givea history never before attempted and completed in 80 lnrge a city as Washington. In New York there is going on what is called a house-to-house in- spection, but judging from accounts of the work the inspectors are visiting only tenement houses and such places as they enspect of being in an unsanitary condition, so that the work is far behind that being done here.”” “Will the entire District receive the attention that is being given the more densly populated portion of the clty?” the reporter inquired. “Most undoubtedly it will,” was Mr. Peters’ response, “‘and the great amount of good thus far accomplished will be improved upon if the recommendations of Health Ofticor Hammett are put into effect. These recommendations inclade the disinfection of allers and byways Thom: cost $10,000. The cost of the ten pianos was 250,000.

If there is any defective plumbing found on the prem- ises or other nuisances the inspector gives his notice to abate then and there, and the length of time given for the abatement is from three to ten days, according to the character of the nuisance. If there is an apparent defect under the surface the report is made to the office and then it 18 sent to the inspector of plumbing. “Having made an inspection of the house,” continued Mr. Peters, “the inspector goes out- side and examines the yard and outbuildings, and if he finds a nuisarice there he serves a no- tice, the same as for anuisance found in the house.” THE NUISANCES REPORTED. “What has been the character of the nuisances found and reported thus f “Most of them have been small nuisances, but when concentrated they make a nuisance of some magnitude. In many instances the in- spectors have found unlawfully located or filthy privies, and in each mstance notice was for the abatement of the same. When nuisances are of such a character that the temporary inspectors do not feel qualified to Pass upon them they are referred to one of the regular aud more experienced men.” “Judging from the reports of the inspectors, what would you say of the present condition of the city?” Mr. Peters was asked. “I can eay with pride,” w response, “that, taken as a whole, while there are spots requiring almost constant supe: that this city compares favorably with any other city in the world, and that the piagne spots here are fewer than in any other city. ‘ion, I believe THE SQUARES ALREADY INSPECTED.

" Assistant Attorney Thomas has handed to the Commissioners an ovinion in the case of an a] plication for a pardon for # man named Chas. H. Blandford, sentenced to five years in the work house for indecent exposure. ‘The application was based on tne ground that the prisoner is insane and that his father prom- ises to remove him from the city and have him placed under medical treatment. Mr. Thomas is of the opinion that the power of pardon in this particular case does not rest with the Commissioners, but with the President. The pardoning power, where- ever it exists, may have « condition attached to it, and if the condition be not per- formed the’ original sentence remains in full force. The power to don for offenses against the District was con- ferred by Congress upon the Commissioners to “grant respites and pardons in certain cases,” But this act limits such power to “offenses against ordiaances of the late cor- poration of Washington, the ordinances of Georgetown and the levy court, the laws of the legislative assembly and the police and building regulations of the District.” The case of Blandford does not come under any of these. ‘This case and others that have come to my notice,” continues Mr. Thomas, ‘suggest that it would be « public benefit if instead of limiting the pardoning power to the cases specified in the act of April 28, 1892, Congress had conferred upon the Commissioners power to pardon in all cases against the District of Columbia.” — THE PEARY EXPEDITION. Secretary Herbert's Opposition to Private Employment of Naval Officers. Lieut. Peary, civil engineer, U. 8. N. has been in Washington for several day: here today for St. Johns, N. F., to make addi- tional arrangements for his coming expedition to the polar seas. In speaking of this trip Lieut. Peary said that there would be ten in the party accompa- nying him and the start would be made some time between the 15th and 30th of June next, taking the same route as before, going by way of Newfoundiand, Baffins bay and Whale Island. The trip will consume two and a half years. Lieut. Peary added that while in Colorado he purchased a number of, prairie wolfskins for clothing and some burros, which would be util- ized to transport aupplies from the edge of the mountains to the inland ice, and, upon_reach- ing the ice, snow shoes woull be placed upon their feet for ice service. It is said that Secretary Herbert was inclined to revoke Mr. Peary’s leave of absence, but was dissuaded from so doing, because it was now too late to make other arrangements for the expedition. It is said that the Secretary con- templates a policy which will prohibit naval officers from entering private employ so long as they remain on the government pay roll. oe aiid ie ways: “Henry Have- jite’s contracts and lets The Brooklyn Fa myer takes up S. him resume Monday THE BES Fledkata 13 the best Blood Medicine, because Pe SS it assists nature to throw off the im- purities of the blood, and at the same time tones up the entire organism.

It was all hard and uphill work, but success crowned the labors after all, and general satis- faction reigns all around. Fortunately there was nothing else on the cards the past six days. This lack of events will whet the public tite for what is coming next week in the ways of teas, luncheons and other forms of hospitality. Somebody says, but somebody is really likely to be grievously mistaken, that the Infanta, the Princess Eulalie, will not come to this city uniess she finds some great and especial event arranged for her at the White House. In other words, the gossip is that it is beneath her royal dignity to come here to meet the President and his wife in the way, for instance, the Duke and Duchess of ieee ‘rere received the other day. It is. to ho t no timo will be lost in arrangi program which will be entirely acceptable te our royal visitor, and at the same time allay all apprehension that we will not get a peep at this distinguished lady for whom America has in store the warmest welcome. The State Department need not be shy about arranging every possible formality. The princess likes that kind of thing, und, if the truth must be told, so do all the rest of us, Neither kings nor queens are too good company for us, for we have had them before. If the State Department intends to take entire charge of the princess and her party while they are in this country, and itis manifestly perfectly right and proper that it should, would it not be just ‘as well for such official entertainment as will be offered her to commence right here in Wash- ington? After two or three days of what New York is preparing to do for her delectation she would be simply too worn out to thoroughly appreciate the program here. If the princess in coming here at all, let her come on at once after landing, and give her a day or two of rest from the voyage before the grand doings begin. It has become quite the fashion in New York whenever a good-sized crowd of its home notables get together on a soci! cceasion to call it a “function.” Lately the term has been variously applied to great or less events here, but certainly never by those really participating in them. In foreign lands the word distinguishes those occasions in which royalty takes part oz which royalty orders. It has about the sme bearing in the description of a social entertainment here as it would be to call the occasions whe dent meets her friends b; , likely to be of much importance 7 these times, talking either about a “function” or a “drawing room,” and it would be just as well if we would all take a good long breath, fall of simple American ideas, before our royal visitors come to town. Nothing we have is too good for them, but at the eame time there is no need to go copying the fashions of foreign courts in bidding them welcome.

Mr. CHARLES LOCKHEAD, one of the leading Plumbers of Georgetown, whose place of business is at No, 3027 M st. n.w., tells of his good fortune in the following story: For about two years I have been growing gradually deaf, and within the last few months I have been de- eidedly 80; 80 much so that persons had to speak in = very loud tone of voice in order for me to hear them. Tcould not even hear the cable cars as they passed my door. Everything seemed so quiet to me—no noise of any consequence entered my ears. I used to haves hacking in my throst and had to clear it every time I spoke, and my nose was stuffed up a «reat deal. I have been under treatment with Dr. JORDAN about 136 months and the improvement has been very great. ‘My noseis clear. Ido not have the irritation in my throat as formerly and my hearing has increased won- derfully. I can now hear ordinary conversation read- ily, and can distinctly hear the tick of a watch. HE WAS IN A PRECARIOUS CONDITION. . What Mr. E. A. ROSENBAUM of 101 1ith st. se. has to say: aa Dr. C. M. SORDAN. road Dear Doctor Before commencing treatment with you I was in a very precarious condition. I was very much run down and all my relatives and friends felt positive that my lungs were badly affected. My cough was severe and racking, my breathing short, and all ac- quainted with me were in doubt as to my recovery. ‘My nose was continually stuffed up and I had to clear my throat a great deal. During the three months under your treatment the benefit has been remarkable, both as regards my Jungs, nose and throat. My nose is clear, my cough now butalight. I feel stronger, ave an excellent ap- petite and believe that Iam now free from any tend- ency to consumption, Respectfully, EA ROSENBAUM, 101 11th st se. Dz C. M. Jonas. 606 13TH ST. N.W.
