Another old citizen, Mr. Lemuel J. Den- fam, died Tuesday at his residence, on G street near Sth, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. The deceased waS a native of Washington and ts the last but one of a family of ten children, the youngest, Mr. Columb Denham, a well-known book- binder, surviving him. Deceased was by occupation a dyer and for a long series of years was engaged in the business on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and 10th streets. He was a quiet, un- ostentatious citizen and had many friends in the District, who will sympathize with his family, a son and two daughters. The funeral took place this afternoon. > Found in Alexandria.

The Superintendent Gives Some Facts, Some Comparisons and Some Fig- ures—The Arena Covered. Relative to the necessity for an appropria- tion of $00,000 for sprinkling, sweeping and cleaning the streets and avenues of Wash- ington, the superintendent of street clean- ing, in a letter to the Commissioners today, sa: here are now scheduled to be swept over 7,306,000 square yards of streets every week, an average of more than 1,200,000 a day, | 29,200,000 a month, or 350,000,000 a year. | The cost to sweep that number of square| yards would be $84,870 a year, or $7,072.50 a month, at 24 1-4 cents per 1,000 square yards. At the old contract price it would have cost | $122,500. If the superintendent knew just | how many pleasant days we were to have out of the 313 working days of the year he would know just how much to allow out of the $125,000 for every branch of his depart- ment. Last August, when the cholera scare was on, and everybody was demanding ex- treme cleanliness in all things, we swept over 29,000,000 square yards of streets, working twenty-six of the twenty-seven working days, That sweeping cost 37,057.49. “Of course, that average could not be kept up; but ff the appropriation were what it should be, so as to enable the department to sweep the 1,200,000 square yards every pleasant day, without fear of overreaching | the limit, it would be all we could reason- ably ask. One Average. “From July } 1893, to March ¢ (70 pleasant days), we swept square yards, or an average of over 1,000,- 00 yards a day. This was 230,000 a day, or 39,100,000 less than should and could | have been swept according to the schedules, had the appropriation been suftictent. In other words, if the streets cut off by the superintendent through fear of going be- yond the appropriation had been swept, as per schedules, the cost would have been $9,354 greater. ‘p to March 22 the sweeping for the} 170 days cost $41,856.72. Had the streets been swept as scheduled, the cost wouid have been $51,240.72. “There are 8S more working days from March 23 to June 30 in which to sweep the 000,000 square yards remaining of the 250,000,000 it is proposed to sweep during the year ending June 30, 1394. The cost of that will be $15,910, which, added to the $41,856.72, as above, will make the amount paid $60,768.72. Coming Year. “Now, there are i74 streets scheduled to ‘de swept but once a week, whose aggregate surface area is 1,500,000 square yards. They should be swept twice a week. To give them fifty-two aditional sweepings would ecst $18,910. To this add cost of sweeping the 39,100,000 square yards cut off by su- perintendent (30384), and we ve $89,- | 060.72 as the cost of sweeping the streets of Washington for the year ending June 30, | 1595, which estimate, as will be seen, makes no allowance for any additional increase m area to be swept during the next fifteen | months, nor for cost of removing snow and ice, which was $4,383 during winter of 1802-93. “It should be remembered that this ap- Propriation is not asked for the purpose of building new streets and avenues, or for | any constructive work, but for sweeping and cleaning streets already existing, not | | by request of the street and alley cleaning department, but because of demands made by persons interested in the prosperity of the city. If Congress thinks it best not to | build new streets or extend old ones, or | | construct sewers, and makes no appropria- | tion for such purposes, very well; it does not require money to take care of some- thing not in existence. But it ts quite another thing to authorize street after street to be paved, thus creating additional demands for sweeping and cleaning them, without making adequate provision for complying with those demands. If streets cannot be properly taken care of they should not be built, and it is unreasonable to suppose that while the work of construc- tion goes on it does not require any more money to keep them in good condition.” EE BASE BALL NEWS. | | | | | Again Defeat the "at National Park. In accordance with custom, the “Kids” again vanquished the “Vets” on the ball field yesterday afternoon at National Park By reason of the cold but a small crowd was in attendance. Egan was very wild | at the start, and the older men scored four times in the first inning. Each side scored |once in the se¢ond, and in the third the | youngsters enlivened things decidedly by ; making seven runs. This was accomplished by good work on the part of Ward, Joyce, Cartwright, Hasamaear and Mercer. With} the bases full Selbach knocked a home run. For thi ets,” Wise, McGuire, Abbey ard Sullivan were at all times tn the game. | The coaching by Joyce and Tebeau proved as good as a minstrel show. The winning team made four errors, while the losers are charged with three. Egan and Stocksdale each struck out three men. The work of Snyder and MeQuade, as um. pires, could not be questioned. The score | | by innings is as follows: Kids. 0174111 Vets. 41040 It might be said in excuse for the Vet lerans’ defeat that, with a veteran pitcher in the box, the competition would be fairer. | | Stocksdale pitched a few games for the | Washington team last year and has had less professional experience than any one on the so-called “Kid team. ‘The naval cadets, at Annapolis, surprised | | themselves yesterday afternoon by defeat- }ing the Yale base ball team by a score of |4 to 3.

GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. Some Interesting Papers Read at Last Night's Meet The seventeenth meeting of the Geologi- cal Society of the District was held at the Cosmos Club last evening. Mr. W. D. Johnson read a paper on the subject of “Glacial Erosion,” basing his ideas on researches made by himself in the glacial region of the Sierras of the Pacific coast, which affords excellent opportunities for the study of this subject. The extent and nature of the changes wrought in the contour of the earth py glacial erosion are points on which geologists differ greatly, and Mr. Johnson's views are of special value from the time he has devoted to the study of them. The second paper was one by Mr. Lester F. Ward on the “Geology of the Potomac Formatio: and was of particular interest owing to its treating of the nature of the crust of the earth in this vicinity. The geology of the Potomac formation has been studied by several different men, and it is agreed that it must represent a number of distinct periods of time, although not necessarily distinct geological periods. | This view is confirmed by the formation of other portions of the country, including New Jersey and Delaware on the north and several of the southern states, although the district covered by this formation embraces only Maryland and Virginia, with slight outcroppings elsewhere. In pursuing his investigations Mr. Ward examined the cross section of the formation at various points from the James river as far north as the northern part of New Jer- sey, and made charts showing the nature and relative thickness of the different de- posits, From these investigations it is found that there are six distinct deposits that are easi- ly distinguishable, but are geologically only one. A careful description of the different nature of these six deposits was given, showing the peculiarities of each and the places where each appear. Colored charts were shown exhibiting the dip and relative Position of each. Mr. Ward has made a special study of this formation for the past three years, and his paper exhibited plainly the care and thoroughness which he has bestowed on it. Following this was a paper by Mr. F. H. Knowlton on “Fossil Plants as an Ald to Geology,” which showed the way to use such plants and the benefits derived from their use in geological research. Yale's Glee and Banjo Clubs Made Merry Tuesday Night. Society was out in full force at Metz- erott’s Hall Tuesday night, when the Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs gave their annual con- | cert in this city. The audience was not only fashionable, but it was also appreciative, and every number was received with enthu- siasm and encored. Both the glee and banjo clubs from old Yale are this year of an exceptionally high character, both in soloists and chorus work. The two vocal solos rendered during the evening by Mr. Solley and Mr. Lackland were received with enthusiasm, while Mr. Solley’s whistling proved an ‘especial attraction to the pro- gram.

The Kummer-Ross Hearing. To the Editor of The Bveniue Star: ‘The report in Tuesday night's Star,with the Startling caption, “The Ladies Fainted,” “Mrs. Spencer's Lively Attack on Kummer and Ross," “A Libel Suit Will Probably ‘ollow,” “An Innovation in Liquor Hear- ings,” proceeded to describe a scene at the office of the District Commissioners whet “with sparkling eyes,” I “went at the ap- plicants hammer and tongs and threw consternation Into the enemy's camp,” &c. Now, dear and ever faithful Star of the Evening, while I did say all and somewhat more than you report, do permit me to allay the fears of the women of the District as to my warlike attitude toward and ter- | rible scourging of two defenseless women. I deliberately affirm, and call upon. the District Commissioners and all present to witness, that there was no harshness nor bitterness nor needless cruelty nor an atom of personal vindictiveness in my de- fense of my own college against the licens- ing of a dangerous house in our immediate neighborhood. It seemed well understood that as soon as the keepers of that house were through “fainting” and hysterics they deliberately intended to assault me with their lady-like fists and I did not hasten to escape. Those who know me well would hardly expect me to do that. Let me correct one other impression. Mr. Stmon Wolf, one of their cqunsel, an cld friend and neighbor of mine, spoke to me most kindly, not threateningly, saying, “I believe, Mrs. Spencer, you are conscientious in what you do, but ‘they,’ not ‘me,’ will give you a chance to prove everything you have stated.” He positively declared he would not appear as their counsel in the threatened suit for libel. I do not believe I said, “That is exactly what I want.” SARA A. SPENCER. ——— Low Rates to Baltimore via B. and 0.

Candies, Pretty Girl \d a General Air of Sweetness—Some of the Novel Exhibits. “Sugar and spice, and everything nice,” So runs the ancient recipe for little giris. Just now it would be quite applicable to all Washington, for with a candy show in town there is no reason why the entire community should not be “just too sweet for anything.” There were lots of candy | and lots of the pretty girls who are sup- | posed to be the product of candy at the | Light Infantry Armory last night, and there |is more candy to come. ‘Soon all Washing- | ton will be saying “Yum-yum” and munch- |ing gumdrops and caramels and marsh- mallows and other intricate devices of the | Sweet sort, for the great candy exposition is sure to be a success. Last night it was | formally opened, with a great crowd of | folks eager to see and to taste and to won- | der. The hall had been transformed into a sort of candied elysium, a paradise of con- | fectionery, and though one or two of the | booths had not yet been quite completed and started in business, there was a great | rush at the start as there is whenever there is a land opening at Oklahoma. Samples [went in every direction, boxes of sweets, | little barrels of dainties, sips of cordials, | Sticks of gum, even bright glances from co- | quettish eyes that went flashing out over | bulwarks of popcorn and taffy. There was | one particularly pretty girl near the en- trance, clad in a bewitching yachting suit, standing on a sort of domestic seashore, | with the roaring waves behind her and imi- | tation bathing houses beside her, and ad- mirers all around her. She sold a peculiar | compound of sweetness and stickiness call- ed “‘Salt-water taffy,” which found a ready | market under the influence of her bright | eyes. Across the corner from this young |lady and her taffy was a booth made of | bars of popcorn, whence another young wo- man, armed with the best bequests of Mother Eve, and a keen eye to business as well, dispensed enormous quantities of su- gared corn that was the delight of both SS and old. This booth was put up by |R. J. Miller & Co. of Philadelphia. Next the stall of Lowney & Co. of Boston and | Chicago gives a good idea of the many | Styles of chocolate candies. The Paper Kin, In the corner of the hall opposite the entrance, is the greatest novelty of the ex- position, an individual who styles himself, | with @ great deal of reason,the Paper King. | His booth is a marvel of colors and forms, | | all of paper, flowers like and unlike the | | domestic and foreign flora, and pillars and | minarets built of the same fragile material, luntil the eye is bewildered. This pictur- (esque and clever individual gives frequent exhibitions of his skill in the manipula- tion of paper, which he handles without | the use of knife or scissors. After a very | engaging talk about paper and its manifold | uses, this beguiling gentleman led his hear- ers on to listen while he told the properties of his patent boot-blacking, which never ceases to shine and never succumbs to water or mud. Then, to reward them for | their patience and dimes, he shows them a truly marvelous panorama of scenes of moving water. to which he has given a very unique and beautiful effect by means of paper columns moving spirally and |otherwisely behind the scenes. The Paper | King 1s a whole exposition In himself. Some Distributions. Another novelty is a young man clad in a linen duster and a broad rimmed straw \hat, selling what looks to be a lot of po- tatoes and sausages, in an excellent repre- sentation of a grocery stall. As he occa- sionally announces, these staples are all made of candy, but their likeness to the fruits of the earth and the porker is start- Ung. This is the exhibition of R. J. Pack & Co., of Delaware county, as announced on their sign. There is a familiar friend | over in one corner, the bamboo booth that |has appeared here several times, but it is | Nery pretty and has an old-time air about it that is welcome. Therein is distributed | a brand of tea in little cups, and with many | smiles from several pairs of rosy lips. | | Chewing gum goes like a flash when given ‘away, and so the distributors of this staple | article of consumption are forced to put, slips of brown paper into every other one of the samples handed out, and much fun | 4s caused by this distribution, Some Exhibitors, At the end of the hall is a large platform where a couple of muscular youag men are | to exercise themselves during the exposi-| | tion, pulling great hanks of white taity into a condition of sweetness and light, but last night their furnace refused to work | nd the crowds were disappointed. It was only a temporary disablement, however. The Darby Manufacturing %o., W. E. Cowan, W. H.

Would 6,000 skilled Workmen rush | | vainly to New Orleans in search of employ-| |ment if a national labor bureau warned | them to stay away? Thoush {t is question- able if, at the present time, there is work for every willing body, there {s no doubt that well-conducted labor bureaus would mitigate | the distress that now pervades great cides. Setting aside national aid for the movement, id public-spirited citizens concentrate their forces, there would be the nucleus of a fine organization for the prevention of much silent misery.” Speaking of woman suffrage, Miss Field asked, “What cf us women to whom the ballot is still denied? ‘What can | we do? I hear many women ask. Nothing | or everything. All depends on yourselves, | my dear sisters. Be you republicans, demo- crats or independents, you can, my sisters, be of incalculable benefit to your country, if you once get into your heads that you dis- burse the money of the family and that the fate of the nation hangs on how you spend what your male kind earn. Reform your ways of dress. Prove your patriotism dur- ing the industrial panic by buying and wear- ing, American goods instead of European \importations. Follow this advice, dear sis- | ters, and you will do more toward restoring | confidence among our manufacturers than all the lobbies and prayers and petitions | | against the new tariff bill that ever were | dreamed of.” Miss Field's last lecture will be given | Tuesday evening next in the Builders’ | Exchange Hall. “Eyes and Ears in Lon- | don” will be the subject, and as it requires a stage, Miss Field will desert the Shore- ham for her musical monologue. seeaeal Sata Grand Army Meeting.

A Public Meeting Favors Th posal of the Dead. A public meeting was held last night at the hall of the Legion of Loyal Women for the purpose of organizing a Washington cremation society. The organization was not effected, because of the smallness of the attendance. It was clear that those who were present favored burial by fire, and they showed a list of eighty names of re- sponsible people who have pledged them- selves to become members as soon as the organization is completed. Mr. Albert Harz, secretary pro tem., stated the object of the meeting. He favored cremation from sentimental, sanitary and economic grounds. He spoke of the expense incident to the conventional funeral, and stated that fre- quently the poor widow had to stand two years over the wash tub in order to pay for it. If it was proved to the health authori- ties of the District that the operation of the crematory which has been erected, will not be a nuisance, cremation will cost but a small sum. He pointed out the objections to the present manner of interment. It was unkind to the memory of the dead, because their bones were scattered at the behest of the subdivision speculator, and, if the body was buried on high ground, the drainage was a menace to health. Several private meetings, he said, had been recently held by the local cremation enthusiasts. Mr. John L. Heupel was asked to take the temporary chairmanship, and accepted. He had been converted to a belief in cremation by his experience with a disinterring party at Petersburg, in 1875. Mrs. Dr. Schoenuker made a brief address, telling of her partial- ity for this way of disposing of the dead. She had cremated her husband. r. Harz made an explanation of some of the im- provements which the local crematory pro- posed to adopt. Many similar institutions used coal, and of this material it required about two tons to reduce the corpse, and a temperature of only 1,400 degrees could be obtained. In Washington they would use the petroleum blast, with which they could get a temperature of about ; thus a body could be returned to ashes in less time, and without dirt or odor. Other remarks were made by those present, and several paid their initiation fee. Another meeting will be held soon. The members of the soci- ety are Mrs. Dr. Schoenuker, Mr. Albert Harz, Mr. C. Buechler, Mr. Ewald Schmitt, Mr. B. F. Schubert, Mr. Richard Egdorf and Mr. Jno. L. Heupel. Dis- Purify Your Blood ‘The blood is the life, and pure blood is necessary in order to have good health. Medical science has demonstrated that many diseases, like scrofula, rheumatism and catarrh, which were formerly treated with local applications, are caused by an impure or an impoverished condition of the blood. ‘This is the chief reason for the great success of Hood’s Sarsaparilia In curing these diseases. It ects directly upon the blood and thus removes the cause. This, too, is why the cures effected by Hood's Sarsaparilla are Permanent. Scrofula, salt rheum, bolls, pimples and other eruptions and sores are danger signals put out as a warning that the blood is not right, and all of these troubles are speedily cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, the “King of Medicines.” Be sure to get Hood's and only Hood's, because Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cures HOOD'S PILLS cure all liver ills, constipation, billousness, sick headache, indigestion. ‘Bad Complexions, Pimples, blackheads, red, rough and oily skin and hands, dry, thin and falling hair, and simple baby biewishes are prevented and cured by Cuticura Soap, most effective skiu-purifying and beautifying soap In the world, as well as purest and sweetest of toilet and nursery soaps.
