The annual meeting of the Sanitary League of the District of Columbia held last night in the lecture hall of the Columbian University. President R. Ross Perry opened the meeting and in a brief address outlined the history of the society from the organization one year ago, when an informal meeting of a few progressive citizens was held in the Army Medical Museum to take precaution against the de- velopment of cholera in Washington. The question, upon discussion, proved to be of | Such vital importance that a permanent society was then conceived, whose motive should be to incite am interest in such matters and make the visitation of epidem- | ics “impossible.” Mr. Perry spoke of the | duty of citizens not only to beautify the capital, but to advance its substaatial terests. They could see a fulfillment of all the promises of the founders of the Dis- trict. He thought the youth of the city should be educated to see the necessity for precaution against disease, by careful gov- esnment, as well as for building up indi- vidual health by physical culture. He re- ferred to the many commendable charities existing in Washington and said the truest charity was that which helps a person to better his condition. The charitable aims of our pecple should be broadened. They should be made to investigate, individually, the causes of disease and misery. dren should be taught, first, the laws of physical health; second, of physical clean- liness; third, mental and spiritual hygiene. Mr. Perry quoted the scriptural text: “Am I my brother's keeper?” If we don’t do our duty in respect to the careless, he said, we will suffer vitally ourselves. We may live in some part of the city where there are clean and wholesome homes and all the laws of sanitation are followed, but when we go upon the streets of the city, into pub- | lic places and public conveyances, we can- not escape contact with those who come from places where diseases lurk. Mr. Perry concluded with an earnest ap- come even more enthusiastic advocates of sanitary improvement in the District, and to excite the intezest of the masses of the people in the endeavors of the organization. The Secretary's Report. The report of the secretary was read by Mr. Nelson P. Webster, assistant secre- tary, Mr. Edson being absent from the city. It gave a history of the organization from the date of the first informai meeting, held at the Army Medical Museum, January 11, 1893. The membership now numbers 55. port said, a number of subcommittes were xppointed, so that at the present time there are twenty-five committees and subcommit- tees guarding nearly every avenue by which it Is possible for diseases to enter the city, , either through our food and water supply, or through tae existence of unsanitary con- | ditions. “The subgommittees are as fol- | | lows: On water supply, sewage disposal, dis- | Posal of the dead, dairies and food supply, collection and disposal of garbage, con- tagious disease hospital, public wash and bath houses, slaughter houses and mark- \ets, public school buildings, co-operation of | the clergy, and ladies’ committee on san- itary housekeeping. | The report gave briefy some account | of the work of various subcommittees. | The treasurer of the league, Mr. E. Fran- cis Riggs, submitted a brief report of the finances of the league, showing a balance on hand, of $123.26. The report was referred to the auditing committee. The Old Offiters Re-Electea. | Upon motion of Mr. W. X. Stevens the former officers of the league were re-elected for the ensuing year. A list of the officers is as follows: President, R.

Mr. Stevens, superintendent of the bath- | ing beach, addressed the meeting in the interest of the bathing beach. He dwelt upon the difficulties which arose after the present site of the beach had been selected. That portion of the bank, he said, is washed by the cleanest water of the river, it being far from the drains and sewerage outlet. The present condition of the bath- ing beach, Mr. Stevens says, is far from perfection. He sketched the plans he has submitted to the Commissioners for its , improvement. Mr. Stevens thought that an appropriation of $20,000 for the beach would be a wise one, and asked the co-operation of the lovers of cleanliness in carrying cut a scheme which his individual promotion necessarily cannot bring to success. Mr. Stevens said that in his knowledge there was no institution where so much good | was done the public with such a spirit of happiness and fun. “al w. ment on parasites 1th of March Prof. Munroe of Columbian Stiles of the Agricultural Depart- and food; that on the University ter: would lecture on coloring mat- that later it was expected to.have a Before adjourning the meeting President | Perry expressel his sympathy with the general feeling of regret throughout the itv upon the retirement of Commissioner Parker, who had been a member of the community upon the appoin ment_of Mr. George Truesdell, who, like Mr. Parker, was interested in the work of the league, and was a member of its coun- cil. — LIBERTY'S LIGHT. Bartholdi’s Statue Will Net Last Many Years Longer. | It is very probable that the government will soon transfer to the Sons of the Revo- lution or some kindred patriotic society the privilege of maintaining the beacon light on the statue of Liberty in New York har- bor. The light house board, from whose appropriations this light has been main- tained, some time ago strongly protested to the Secretary of the Treasury against this yearly expense of $10,000 being taken from its already insufficient appropria- | | 1 tion, and recommended that as the light was | useless it should be discontinued. then that a number of the patriotic socie- ties of New York proposed to relieve the government froin this expense and asked that they be given control of the statue on condition that they main. tain the light. This will kel soon be done. It is said by perso: who are in a position to know that already | the statue shows alarming signs of dissolu- tion. The thin veneer of copper of which the statue is made is already rusted through in many places so that one can readily see to ascend the stairs without the aid of artificial light. In order to preserve the statue and arrest the ravages of rust the light house board has been compelled to paint the statue, and as this has de- tracted somewhat from its appearance, the | result has been unsatisfactory. It is the light house board has bestowed upon the statue it can hardly be expected to (last more than ten or fifteen years longer. The society which seeks to relieve the gov- ernment of the expense of maintaining the beacon now runs a ferry line to Bedloe’s Island, and has already accumulated about $60,000, which it is willing to expend in replacing the electric light plant, which is nearly worn out, and in maintaining the light indefinitely.

There were pretty souvenir baskets in silver and gilt for the ladies to carry away with them, and the Roman punch was served in them. ‘The tapers burned under silver shades that had little bows and streamers of Satin ribbon in the rose color.
