ALL ARE WORKING WITR A WILL Indications Point to a Full Attend- ance of Delegates. WORK OF THE SESSIONS No let up in the work of arranging for the annual meeting of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States next month, continues to be the motto of the committees in charge; everybody is wide awake. Lieut. R. A. Foster is at the head of the committee on information. During his youth Dr. Foster resided in the north, and while in New Haven, Conn., attended the Webster and Eaton schools. Immediately after the death of his father he came to Washington, D. C., where he has since re- sided. After graduating in medicine at the Columbian University, he took a short course in law at the National University. A few years after this he completed a two years’ course in analytical chemistry. In doctor has received a good business one, having attended the Commercial College of this city, just before entering upon the study of medicine. He is a member of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States, and also of the Pan-American medical congress and Microscopical Society of this city; a member of the vestry of Trinity parish,and secretary and treasurer of the Trinity P. BE. Sunday School. Dr. R. A. Foster. He is an occasional contributor of articles to medical, scientific and other periodicals, and has always been studious and fond of investigation. On July 30, 1888, he was ap- pointed by President Cleveland surgeon of the fourth (now second) battalion of in- fantry, District of Columbia militia. At the last meeting of the Association of Military Surgeons he was appointed by the president thereof chairman of the com- mittee on finance and auditing accounts. Associated with him on said committée are Col. Nelson H. Henry, assistant surgeon general of the New York National Guard, and Lieut. Col. Leonard B. Almy, medical He is also chairman of the committee on information, one of the committees ap- pointed for the purpose of furnishing such information as may be desired by the visit- ing members and others respecting the meeting of the association in May. The fol- bim on this committee: Maj. Jas. C. Mer- rill, surgeon, U. S. A.; Capt. J. M. Cabell, assistant surgeon, U. S. A.; Capt. Jno. L. Phillips, assistant surgeon, U. S. A.; Sur- geon F. Anderson, U. S. Surgeon F. W. | Mead, marine hospital vice; Assistant Surgeon W. J. S. Stewart, marine hospital | service. . Dr. Chas. R. Luce. The committee on information has much to look after. At one of the morning ses- sions the army and navy will show the different patterns of litters now in use, and there will be an exhibition of the field ap- pliances of the medical department of the army. A Faull Attendance Expected. Indications are very flattering for a full attendance from the members at large, as well as many distinguished representa- tives from the several military services throughout the United States. The morning session of the first day will be held in the New National Theater at 10 o'clock. The President of the United States will be present as the commander- in-chief of the armies, and will make an address. His cabinet, with the commander of the army and staff, many Senators and Congressmen and representatives of the diplomatic corps, willa Iso be in attendance. The morning and afternoon sessions will be continued at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily in the lecture hall, National Museum, until the adjournment of the convention. An interesting program of scientific pa- pers has been arranged to be read and discussed during the « sessions. Dr. F. J. Woodman. The evenings will be given up to pleas- ure, which has been amply and generous- ly provided for by the committee of ar- rangements, in the manner of social enter- tainments, receptions, &c. For the Entertainment of the Dele- gates. On the evening of the first day there will be an informal reception and colla- tion at the Ebbitt House. On the evening of the second day a re- ception by the President at the White House is anticipated. The afternoon and evening of the third day the committee has planned an enjoy- able trip down the historic Potomac river to Marshall Hall, the home of Chief Jus- tice John Marshall, and there will partake of a popular and elegant “plank shad bake” and return before midnight. A committee of ladies will look after the comfort and welfare of all ladies in at- tendance on this occasion. The fatigue uniform will be worn during the day and full dress with side arms at all evening entertainments; otherwise, the | civilian full dress with association button must be worn, The committee have secured satisfactory accommodations and rates for the mem- bers of the association and their families at the Ebbitt House, which will be the social headquarters.

The Registration Committee. Dr. McKim, chairman of the committee on registration, was born in Massachusetts, April 17, 1826. His grandfather came to Washington in 1804. The doctor’s parents were married in this city January 1, 1815, and went to Massachusetts, returning to Washington in 1844, where the doctor has resided ever since. He graduated as a phy- sician in the spring of 1852. Was surgeon of the Metropolitan police force for thirty- two years. In February, 1861, he organized & company for the defense of the city and Dr. 8. A. H. McKim, was mustered into service April 11 of the same year. In 1862 he became acting assist- ant surgeon, United States army, doing duty in hospitals in this city. In 1880 he was appointed surgeon of the third bat- talion, D. C. N. G., with rank of lieutenant, and in June, 1893, surgeon of the first regt- ment, D. C. N. G., with rank of captain. | The duties of this committee are to register all members who may attend the meeting, issue badges and tickets for the various en- | tertainments, receptions and excursions that have been arranged, and dispense any need- ed information. Dr. McKim fs assisted by Ma. Fred K. Wilson, Capt. Chas. H. Ourand, Capt. Chas. S, Domer, Capt. Har- rison S. Barbour, Lieut. Lee B. Mosher and Lieut. C. A. Weaver, secretary. The Hotel Committee. The hotel committee is presided over by Lieut. F. J. Woodman, who 1s surgeon of the sixth or departmental battalion, D. C. N. G., having been commissioned October 81, 1889. He ts a graduate of Yale and Co- lumbian universities and has been located on Capitol Hill for the past nine years. Lieut. Woodman has as his assistants the other members of the sixth battalion staff, Maj. Geo. A. Bartlett, Lieuts. W. P. Vaie and Chas. H. Laird, Maj. E. R. Campbell, Capt. Jno. W. Parson and Lieut. J. R. Neely. Generous reductions have been made by most of the hotels, and, judging from the correspondence pouring in daily, the at- tendance upon this, the fourth, annual meet- ing of the association will be very large. Committee on Halls. The committee -on halls is composed of Lieut. Charles R. Luce, D. C. N. G., chair- man; Gen. Albert Ordway, Col. Wm. G. Moore, Maj. Burton R. Ross, Capt. D. L. M. Peixotto, Capt. Allison Nailor, Capt. A. W. Kelley, Capt. John 8. Miller, Capt. C. C. M. Loeffier, Dr. J. W. Bayne, Dr, D. Hickling. . Sess The members are working very hard to se- cure the success of the meeting, their special work being to secure halls. The armory of the Washington Light Infantry Corps has been secured for an exhibit of surgical in- struments and dressings, —— _-—_ CARRYING SECRET ARMS, Favorite and Effectaal Weapons of Assassination in the East. From the London Saturday Review. In Mysore and Hyderabad the bich*hwa (scorpion)—the double-curved misericorde of the east—is carried by the lower classes hid- den up the sleeve, and is mede right or left- handed to suit all tastes. It is a favorite and effectual weapon of assassination, being driven downward from behind, inside the collarbone, and is sometimes double-bladed and poisoned, the polson being carried in a suitable hollow in the hilt. The double curve of the blade, derived from that of a cow's horn, and resembling that of a scor- pion's sting, recurs in the khanjar and the chilanum and throughout Afghanistan, With a variety of this weapon, Lieut. Willis was Killed In the bazaar at Candahar. The strangest of secret arms is, perhaps, the bagh nakh or tiger claw of the Mahrat- tas, with its two rings for the first and fourth fingers and the three to five curved steel claws, destined to protrude from the closed hand between the fingers and to rip open or mangle the victim. ‘The hand half open shows only two bright rings round the fingers; the clenched fist becomes the armed paw of the human tiger. Mr. Egerton tells us how the Mahratta leader Sivaji murdered his enemy, Afzal Khan, after inviting him to a conference, in which each should come with one attendant only. Sivaji wore a mall cap and coat under his turban and cotton gown, had a bich’hwa in his right sleeve and a bagh nakh on his left hand. The Khan had only his sword, and sent away his follower to reassure Sivaji, who w of small stature, and counterfeited timidity. “In the midst of the customary embrace, Sivaji struck the bagh nakh into the bowels of Afzai Khan,who quickly disengaged him- self, clapped his hand on his sword, ex- claiming ‘Treachery and murder!’ but Sivaji instantly followed up the blow with his dagger. The Khan had drawn his sword, and made a cut at Sivaji, but the concealed armor was proof against the blow. The whole was the work of a moment, and Sivaj! was wresting the weapon from the hand of his victim before the attendants could run toward them.” ——__+ e--____ TAKING SOUNDINGS AT SEA, The Method by Which a Depth of Five Miles is Sometimes Reached, From the Popular Science Monthly. A ship regularly engaged in deep-sea sounding usually has the sounding machine mounted at the after end, and when about to sound is brought to a standstill, with the stern to the sea. The stray line, with the sounding rod and sinker attached, ts over the guide pully and carefully lowered to the water’s edge, the register is set to zero, and the deep-sea thermometer is clamped to the sounding line; a seaman fs stationed at the friction line, which controls the velocity with which the wire is unreeled, another at the brake, and a third on the grating outside to handle the sinker and in- struments and to guide the wire as it passes overboard; a machinist is at the hoisting engine, and the recorder takes a position for reading the register. When the sinker is let go the vessel is maneuvered so as to keep the wire vertical, and the friction line is adjusted so as to allow it to descend from 70 to 100 fathoms per minute. The instant the sinker strikes bottom, which is unmistakably indicated by the sud- den release of the wire from strain, the reel is stopped by the friction line and brake; the recorder notes the number of turns of the reel. In an hour this messenger of man’s ingenuity makes its excursion through five miles of watery waste to the abysmal regions of perfect repose, and brings to the Ught of day the soll with which the rain of shells of minute infusorial organism from the upper waters has been for ages mantling the ocean’s floor. Here and there a giant peak rising from these sunless depths lifts his head to see the sky, and the dredge and trawl tell us that all along his rugged sides, and on the hills and plains below, and even in the inky blackness and the freezing cold of the deepest valle; there is life! 7 Matthew Arnold and Cardinal New- man, Florence Farle Coates, in the Century for April. It is interesting to remember that of mod- ern men of genius Matthew Arnold's favor- ite was John Henry Newman. Many will recall the roble and characteristic sentences which open the lecture on Emerson; where- in, recalling the days when he was an un- dergraduate at Oxford, Arnold declares, “Voices were in the air there which haunt my memory still.” “Happy the man who in that susceptibie season of youth hears such voices! They are a possession to him for- ever.” Of those voices Newman's most deeply penetrated the heart of the impres- sionable student, and though Arnold af- terward came to feel that in becoming a Roman Catholic Newman had adopted ‘“‘for the doubts and difficulties which beset men’s minds today a solution which, to speak frankly, is impossible,” he never ceased to admire in him the combination of traits—the mingled gentleness and irony, ent a and urbanity—which had capti- vated his boyish imagination, nor to revere in him the insptrer of nis youth. I know of no picture of Newman so winning, 80 altogether gracious, as that at the begin- ning of the lecture on Emersoa. = eee ‘The Maesachusetts house Thursday pass- ed to be engrossed the act reported by the joint special committee on the unemployed, which provides for the expenditure of $500,- 000, and authorizes the Metropolitan Park commissioners to construct roadways and boulevards, [REAL ESTATE GOSSIP House Builders Deep in the Study of Architects’ Plans. THE QUESTION OF SHOW VS. UTILITY Important Changes Decided Upon in the Building Regulations. THE FIRE LIMITS MODIFIED ———+—__ People who intend to erect houses this year are just now busy over designs and plans. Perhaps there may not be as many who have in view the erection of homes for themselves as the architects and the builders would like, but still there are quite a number of prospective house build- ers, The individual experiences at such a period, for the average man does not often build more than one house for him- self in the course of his life, are apt to be those which are remembered for some time. Usually it is a novel experience for the majority of people, because it brings them in cortact with facts which are out- side of their daily lives and occupations. They learn something about the prices of material, the cost of labor, and in some cases about the different styles of archi- tecture. They become familiar with a new vocabulary, and find out something of the difficulties attendant upon getting abstract ideas into concrete shape. There are gen- erally two main thoughts in the minds of those who start out to build a home. The man of the house is apt to be partic- ular about the exterior appearance, while to the wife, who at the same time is not averse to making a good outward show, the interior arrangements for the accom- modation of the domestic department and the provisions for meeting the social re- quirements of modern life are likely to be looked upon as of prime importance. The architect is called upon to carry out these ideas with the further restrictions which the shape and size of the particular lot selected, and as the site of the future resi- dence, imposes, and also the size of the bank account. It would appear by the mere statement that that would be a rather difficult task to perform, but it is accom- plished so frequently that it is evident that the obstacles are more apparent than real. Sacrificed to Show. In this city there is so much individual building that the variety of architecture, especially as seen in private dwellings, is very great and is also, as a rule, pleasing. The tendency to sacrifice utility and sub- stantial construction for mere show is kept Within reasonable bounds. Here and there may be seen a house, the design of which, as well as the materials used, violates the canons of good taste and betrays a shabby effort to look as if it cost @ good deal more money than it did, It may be readily im- agined what the character of the materials is which are not exposed to view. It fol- lows that stone fronts and tiled entrances and all that sort of thing in a house of moderate price are put there at the sucri- fice of the use of good material and the em- ployment of good workmanship in the in- terior. As there is a demand for such dwellings, and as the people who occupy them are frequently indifferent as to how the rest of the house is built, as long as it presents a showy appearance on the street front, it seems to be a case where, if the interested parties are satisfied, the out- siders or the general public have no cause for complaint. Ventilation in Public Bua! zs. In view of the possibility of the erection of one, perhaps two, public buildings in this city in the course of the next year or so, it is important, in the interests of the health of those who will occupy the bulld- ings, that modern ideas should rule in the arrangement of the interiors. The great practical difficulty with most large build- ings is to secure their proper ventilation and lighting. The building of the pension office has been the subject of a good deal of ridicule, principally because of its ex- terior, but it would seem that the plan of the interior is based on a very sensible ap- preciation of the importance of securing an ample supply of light and air, In this building there are no badly lighted, badly smelling inside corridors, with a tier of rooms opening out from them on both sides. The office rooms in the pension building are in tiers, three stories high, built around a large court, so that the rooms are weil lighted in all parts, and the ventilation is said to be excellent, It is true that there has been some complaint that there were drafts in this building, but it is probable that that objection, if it exists, can overcome. At any rate, the plan seems:to possess superior advantages over the con- ventional government office building, of which we have so many examples in this city. Hard Wood Interiors. The use of hard woods in interior decora- tlon seems to be as popular as ever, al- though what is known as the colonial style threatens to supersede it. If this style was confined merely to finishing parlors in white and gold it would not be likely to come into general use, for while nearly every house has @ parlor, there are but comparatively few householders who either have the means or the inclination to live up to a white and gold parior. But this style in- vades all the rooms of the house, and has the wood finish painted to suit the decora- tions of the wall and the hangings. In many cases the painted wood finish has taken the place of hard oil ‘nish. How- ever, the majority of people are very fond of the rich tones of the hard wood, and therefore they are not inclined to abandon it, It may be said that there never was a time when hard woods were not used to some extent in private houses. Some years ago walnut was all the rage, and this somber wood was used extensively in mak- ing the doors and mantels and in the gen- eral finish of the heuse. Now, however, walnut is very seldom used, and in its place @ great variety of hard woods is employed. Pine ts also utilized, and it seems that if the employment of paint becomes general it will be used more extensively than ever in residences. In the more expensive class of houses marble of different varieties are made use of for interior decorations. This material is used to face fire-places, for paneling stair- case halls and entrance halls. It is used also in the construction of stairs, and some- times forms the paneling of walls. The New Building Regulations. After the District appropriation bill is dis- posed of the Commissioners have decided to take up as special business the new bulld- ing regulations. The consideration of this will probably consume some time, although but one amendment will be discussed. This will be the regulation concerning the loca- tion of theaters. All of the replies to the letters of inquiry sent out by the Commis- stoners to the principal cities as to the reg- ulations in force governing the location of theaters have been received, and in not one of them does it appear that there is any special regulation on the subject. With the well-known intentions of the board, it is fair to assume that the new amendment to the building regulations will not throw any obstacles in the way of a new theater on H street, should Manager Albaugh still de- sire to build. The other amendments to the building reg- ulations which have been adopted and which will form part of the new regulations are as follows: Each application for a building permit shall be accompanied by elevations of the building, showing the correct curb and alley grade, as established by the en- gineer department. These lines must be certified to by the computing engineer, who will, if necessary, establish the same upon the ground. No projection other than oriels, whose lowest portion shall be high enough above the sidwalk to leave at least twelve feet headway, shall be allowed on any suburban street sixty feet and less in width. Manure pits may be permitted below the surface of alleys that are fifteen or more feet wide, but they shall not extend more than four feet beyond the building itne. They must be constructed with brick walls, with granite coping not less than eight b; nine inches thick, be covered close wi heavy wrought-iron doors, sufficiently strong to carry heavily loaded carts, wagons or other vehicles, and ventilated through the District known as Columbia Heights it shall be on the conditon that such dwelling shall be erected thirty feet back of the line of the street on which the lot or lots abut. Changing the Fire Limits. Perhaps the most important amendment to the regulations will be the changing of the fire limits. It will be recalied that the order of November 2 1892, re-establishing the fire limits, was ‘strenuously opposed by certain property owners. The new regula- tion will change this order by omitting from the fire limits all of the following portions of the fire limits north of the following line: Beginning at a point where Ontario avenue intersects the eastern line of the Zoological Park, thence southwardly along the eastern line of sald park te Adams’ Mill read, thence along Adams’ Mill road to Co- lumbla road, thence along Columbia road to 16th street west extended, thence north- wardly along 16th street extended to Park street, thence eastwardly along Park street to 14th street west extended and Mount Pleasant avenue, thence eastwardly along Mount Pleasant avenue to Whitney avenue and eastwardly aleng Whitney avenue to Tth street west extended. ther important amendment is the one relating to markets. It reads: No building to be used as a market shall be erected un- less the person or persons applying for a permit to erect shall first file with the in- spector of buildings the written consent of a@ majority ef the property owners in the square on which said building is to be | cated, and the property owners in the square or squares fronting the east side of the pi structure. Another amendment will be inserted in the new regulations further amending the fire mits as follows: Revoke that portion pre- scribing as part of said limits “due east on line of T street to Patterson avenue, P: terson avenue to Fairview aven: Fair- view avenue to Corcoran street,” and sub- stitute therefor: “‘Due east on the line of T street north te 2d street east, thence south on said 2d street to R street north extended, thence east along said R street and a recti- near projection thereof to Corcoran road.” Another amendment bearing on the fire limits revokes that portion of the fire limits | “te Bladensburg road, Bladensburg road to 15th street east and Florida avenue,” and substituting therefor: “‘To the main tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, thence southwardly along said tracks to O street north extended, thence eastwardly along said O street to Trinidad avenue and thence northwardly along said Trinidad avenue to Mt.Olivet road, thence eastwardly sald Mt. Olivet road to Bladensburg road, thence along Bladensburg road to the intersection of 15th street east extended and Florida avenue northeast.” Building Notes. This has been a poor week for permits and very few were taken out for the erec- tion of new dwellings. There are better prospects, hewever, for next week, as a number of applications for projections have been filed, and as soon as they get the ap- of the Secretary of War, the permits | will be issued.

No matter how wakeful he had been all night, just as soon as rising-time came he went to sleep and slept like a log.” “That's just the way with Mr. Bloobum- per, exactly. But tell me what you did.” “Well, when Mr. Cawker woke up in the night and began to toss about and say he couidn't get a wink of sleep, I simply went across the room, pretended to look at the clock, and said: ‘Oh, that’s all right. You don’t need to go to sleep again. It’s time for you to get up.’ That always put him to sleep in a minute.” SNATCHED FROM THE GRAVE Expcrience ofthe Constess Corvisart. in America, and all of them pronounced able, while two said death would contiguous stable by means of a flue con- structed inside the stable, or in the wall thereof, and extending above Its roof.
