4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘WEDNESDAY.._......_.--.....July 26, 1893. CROSBY 8. NOYES... THE EVENING STAR hase regslar and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that efany ether paper in the city. As = lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Vertising Medium it has ne competiter. Always deeply interesting is the question of local healthfulness, a topic of supreme importance and one that if intelligently discussed and properly applied would make this city, beautiful and cleanly as it is, much more desirable from a purely san- itary standpoint than any other center of population on the continent. This sub- ject, under the title of “Municipal Sani- tation in Washington and Baltimore,” is @ebated lengthily and with much valuable detail in the Forum for Avgust, the writer being Dr. John 8. Billings, eminent in all that pertains to hygienic theories and prac- tices. He weighs even the minutiae and although it was hardly his intention to strike a balance he has nevertheless given this city—hampered as it has been by Congressional inattention—reason for expressing at least comparative satisfac- tion. Making plain some of the conditions that had to be considered, Dr. Billings shows that a greater proportion of the persons doing business in Baltimore live outsice the city limits than is the case here. We have about two hundred and fifty-five miles of sewers, but with a con- siderable number of unconnected dwell- ings, while Baltimore has theoretically no sewers, its sewage being generally dis- posed of i cesspools, vaults and boxes. Moving at once from seeming cause to only partially-explained effect, the doctor pre- sents Washington's death-rate as 2.41 per thousand, while Baltimore's mortality was 2239, but he hastens to present figures which prove that the higher rate prevalent among the colored people is responsible for the difference; the colored rate in the District was 33.25, in Baltimore $2.60. Those computations make the white death-rate here 18.35, while in Baltimore it is 20.41. Going more deeply into the problem, Dr. Billings shows that the expectation of life of a white male infant in the District is two years greater than it is in Baltimore; of @ white female infant, a little over four years greater than in Baltimore; of a colored male infant almost a year more than in Baltimore, but of a colored female infant, a little less here. As the ages in- crease, however, there are changes of im- portance, for whvle Baltimore is much more unhealthy for infants, the expectation of life for persons above five years is greater fm Baltimore. Singularly enough there are marked differences in mortality be- tween subdivisiéns of the white popula- tion. Of white married males between fifteen and forty-five years, born of Ameri- can mothers, the death-rate in this city ‘was 6%; of those born of Irish mothers, 13.61; and of those born of German moth- ers, 12.63. Altitude also has much to de with the number of deaths, for it is shown that they diminish regularly as the average altitude increases; ten or twelve feet aboye high-water mark here gave rates ranging from 34.99 to 30.21, while in places a hundred feet above the level the rate went down to 19 and 2. The excessive death-rate from €onsumption in the District was, says Dr. Billings, entirely among colored folks; in Baltimore white people suffered most from that disease. The local death-rates from typhoid fever were also greater among the colored than the white, and greater among those of Irish parentage than among other whites. There will be no controversy over the doctor's figures, but he will probably be called upon to explain an inconsistency which 3s apparent in his review. He is inclined in one place to believe that “so long as the water-supply is pure and abundant the methods of sewage-disposal do rot have much influence on the health of the community, and that while the dispo- sal of house-slops in open gutters (the prac- tice in Baltimore) and the storage of sewage im cesspools produce nuisances of various Kinds, it is doubtful whether they are nui- Bances directly and positively injurious ‘to health,” yet on the next page Le admits that “the excess of the death rate among the whites in Baltimore over that in Wash- ington, amounting to nearly two deaths a thousand of population annually, is prob- ably due in part to the differences in the method of sewage disposal in the two cities” and then he, with commendable caution, adds “but the evidence as to this is not conclusive.” Washington's sewers are not what they might be, not what they soon will be, but that they are better than the old surface-drainage system should easily be evident. Were our sewers and water supply extended to all the thickly-settled Portions of the District and conaection compelled with every residence and stable, and were all the poisonous wells, which so many people thoughtlessly insist upon 4@rinking from, filled up with earth, the eath-rate would diminish many yer cent. ———~++—___ When Senator William M. Stewart, of Nevada, admits that the Sherman law will be repealed it would seem as though the silver men had at last recognized the weak- ness of their case, for of all the persistent, courageous, uncompromising advocates of silver coinage none are more radical than he. At all times and in all places, with or without provocation, he has thundered the doctrine of unlimited silver in the ears of its friends and its enemies. And now—be- fore Congress assembles—he admits defeat. But he does not stop there. Gloomy in his views on finance he moves toward the pes- simistic extreme and says: “The country Is going to Hades. T have been predicting it for years. I had hopes. to help in warding off the catastrophe, but the democrats and many republicans, too, seem to have gone crazy. I cannot answer for the consequences and I am glad I shall not have to share the responsibility. ‘The Senator is much too serious.

He has done his best to find a motive power to meet the re- quirements of Congress and that was avail- able for use on that road. His successor, Mr. W. J. Stephenson, is a man of marked business ability, experienced in street rail- way affairs and worthy the con‘idence of any Corporation. Energetic, interested in the city and active as to its welfare, he will be able, if any one can, to solve the prob- lem of satisfactory transit on the road. —___ + + + —____ From this time forth the reports of army Officers who inspect camps of the national guard are not to be made public. This decision was reached by Adjutant General Williams, because he and many others in high authority were satisfied that honest criticism was not easy when the inspect- ing officers were aware that their con- clusions would be at once given to the pub- lic. The position taken is undoubtedly correct and might easily have been sug- gested by the controversy which enlivened things on the Pacific Coast last year. Capt. Thomas H. Barry, of the First United States Infantry, inspected the California troops and, as was his duty, criticised imto print to defend the citizen-soldiers. Of course he had the short end of the argu- ment and necessarily was worsted; the effect was bad, for those who were criti- cised felt as though they were more than half right, and consequently did not pay sufficient attention to the good advice Capt. Barry gave them. Under the new rule there will be no publicity, but the War Department will suggest to the state authorities wherein their system needs amendment; altogether the better way. —_++2+—__—_ ‘At @ distance, the effort to assault Rus- sell Sage’s bank account by means of an alleged early romance does not appear very hopeful.

You can sudo oman by his home. ‘Look at Brown and Jones. Both enjoy the Same income and yet the home of one is incomparatively superior. How isit? Both love home, both spend their time and money in their home—why are they S© different? Jones marvels that Brown can afford those expensive pieces of bric-a-brao, such lovely drapery scarfs, those many little additions that make his home superior. How can he afford such luxuries? Jones slyly visite the artetoresand finds that » banquet lamp like Brown's is worth 818, that the Jeweled drapery scarfs are $7 each, that the monster Satsuma vases are $18 cach, that those real Limoges cups and saucers are $leach. And Jones comes to the conelusion that Brown will be short in his accounts some of these days. He doesn’t give Brown and wife credit for being clever shoppers, he fails tosee that they have taken advantage of fleeting bargain opportunities, that, while rare, Rever escape thelr watchful eyes. And this leads up to the fact that the clever Brown is even now brightening his home st nominal cost—in the Palais Royal's ‘Removal Sale he finds the opportunity of years. ‘The Monster Satsuma Vases that cost €18.at the art stores are $5 st the Palais Royal. The Removal Sale prices of Banquet Lampe are 83, $7.50 and $10,and you may choose from # dozen styles, some ot which wore intended to retail at $20. ‘Those “‘Orecxer" Jars from Japsn would do for many things besides bisouits— empty, they are ornamental. 30c, 68¢ and 81.25 are the reduced prices of those that sold from 50c to $2.98. This Chinese Lacquered Crumb Tray, with brush, $8 70e instead of $1.25, and is it not little additions like these that make Brown's ome so superior to Jones? But, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, it is never too late to mend. ‘Join the Browns tomorrow at the Palsls Royal's Bric-a-brac Department.

He will surprise Jones next winter with his ‘full drees shirts of finest linen, with fronts exquisitely hand embroidered. Brown ‘will pay only 98 cepts each at the Palais Royal tomorrow, and when Jones buys identical shirts in the winter he will pay $2.75 each. The Plain Full Dress Shirts at 68¢ instead of $1.25 and $1.50 will also attract Brown tomorrow. 8o will the French Percale and other Neglige Shirts, for present wear, at GSc instead of 61, 81.25 and $1.50.
