The publication in yesterday’s Star of the manner in which the pound service ig badly crippled because of the men having to act as general utility men for the health office caused considerable talk among the health office officials this morning, and Dr. Hammett wants to know who told the re- porter the facts. Heretofore, so far as could be ascertained by the reporter, there has been no effort to keep this branch of the service secret, as was attempted in the garbage service, before Mr. Tracy was chief clerk. Health Officer Hammett, speaking to a Star reporter this morning, said that the work of hauling ashes and the burning of scarlet fever and diphtheria clothing es but little time of the men. There are four colo! men employed in the service, in addition to the poundmaster. He said that the wagon has been in the habit of going out only early in the morning, for then it is, he told a reporter, that dogs are on the stre2ts. “But hereafter,” said Dr. Hammett, “T will have the wagon make trips later in the day and see what can be accomplish- ed.” The doctor thinks that an additional trip a day may result in the capture of more dogs and possibly end in the killing of an additional dog that might otherwise have become mad and done some damage. Maj. Moore's Order. Major Moore, realizing the seriousness of the situation so far as mad dogs are con- cerned, has notified the officers to execute the law concerning female dogs at large and has issued to the force a circular con- cerning the disposition of the bodies of supposed dead animals as follows: “At this season of the year, when many dogs running at large become rabid, the police sre called upon to shoot them. In all sseh cases ample time should be al- lowe’ wore the carcass of the animal is giver. wver to the dead animal contractor by tne tice to have proper examina- tion mad> ef its condition at the time of death, atet all cases officers who kill dogs scppyeei to be rabid will promptly notify hea4quarters and await instructions in the prem‘ses Chief Clerk Syivester of the police de- partment today learned of the biting, about ten days ago, of a three-year-old child of Mr. Randolph Robertson, at Ballston, Va. only a few miles from this city. An an: | iytical examination was made of the dea animal and other dogs were impregnated with the virus with fatal effect. The child's parents are now anxious to send the little sufferer to the Pasteur Institute in New York. ‘They are unable to bear the ex- pense, however, and some friends have made a small contribution to the neves- sary amount. —- Took the Spoons to New York. A colored man named Tom Plummer is under errest in New York on a charge of suspicion. He left here Sunday, and the next day he erd-avored to dispose of eleven silver forks, Tiffany, 1871 pattern, and six silver spoons. The silverware has the ini- tial “T” engraved on it. A sample of the property is held at police headquarters in this city for identiileation. POE Eee Capt.

NEARING THE END The Triennial Congress of Physi- cians, TTS SESSIONS 10 CLOSE TONIGHT The: Most Succesful, in Every Way, Yet Held, BUSINESS TRANSACTED The trier.nial congresses of the American Physicians and surgeons, which has been in session in this citv since Tuesiay, is rapidly drawing toward a close, and by tais even- ing all will be over, and many of the fa- muvus physicians who have gatherei from all parts of the country will have left the city. ‘This afternoon there was a general ses- sion of the congress at Metzerott Hall. The first part was given up to a business mect- ing, which began at 1:30 o'clock. The re- mainder of the program for the afternoon was as follow: From 2 to 3:80—General session under the direction of the American Laryngological Association. Subject, “The Surgery of the Accessory Sinuses of the Nose,” to be dis- cussed by Dr. F. H. Bosworth, professor of diseases of the throat in Bellevue Hospital Medical College; Dr. J. N. Mackenzie, lec- turer on laryngology in the Johns Hopkins University and clinical professor of diseases of the throat and nose in the University of Maryland; Dr. J. H. Bryan, surgeon to the throat department of the Garfield Memorial Hospital, and Dr. John O. Roe of Kochester, From 3:80 to 5 p.m.—General session un- der the direction of The American Neurolog- ical Association. Subject, ‘The Influence of Infectious Processes on the Nervous Sys- tem;" “Pathology and Etiology,” by Dr. Jas. J. Putnam, professor of nervous dis- eases in the Harvard Medical School; “The Relation to General Nervous Diseases,” by Dr.*E. C, Seguin of New York; “The Rela- tion to Mental Disease,” by Dr. Charles K. Mills, professor of mental diseases and of medical jurisprudence in the University of Pennsylvania; “The Therapeutics,” by Dr. F. X. Dercum of Philadelphia. The Most Successful Congress. In the minds of those who have attended the two preceding congresses this has been by long odds the most successful in point of attendance, as well as in the value of the papers read before the body. By no means the least important features of tne congress have been the meetings of the component societies and associations, which have held their sessions at the Arlington and in parlors and b: near by during the morning hours, so as not to interfere with the general meetings in the afternoon. At these smaller sessions papers have been presented and discussions held that had direct Ing upon all that is most recent in the various special lines of the great Profession. It is true that to the laymen the majority of these papers have been absolutely unintelligible, but to the phy- siclans the greatest benefit has accrued from the resulting interchange of opinion, as weil as the descriptions of curious and unusual cases and experiments. The Climatological Association. One of the most important bodies that has held its meetings in connection with this congress of physicians is the Ameri- can Climatological Association, which has held its eleventh annual meeting in the parlor of Wormley’s Hotel. This associa- tion has held its electicn of officers for the ensuing year, which resulted in the choice of the following: President, Dr. 8. E. Solly, Colorado Springs; vice presidents, Dr. J. H. Musser, Philadelphia, and Dr. G. R. Butler, Brooklyn; secretary and treas- urer, Dr. J. B. Walker, Philadelphia; coun- cil, Dr. A. L. Loomis, New York; Dr. F. I. Knight, Boston; Dr. W. E. Forde, Utica; Dr. R. G. Curtin, Philadelphia, and Dr. 1. H. Platt, Lakewood, N. J. “The comparative rarity of phthisis in the read as follows ‘The comparative rarity of phthisis in the highlands ¥ Pennsylvania and the adjacent counties of New York,” Dr. Guy Hinsdale, Philadelphia; ‘‘Meteorological data of Colo- rado,” Dr. Samuel A. Fisk, Denver; “Sensi- ble temperatures,” Mr. Mark W. Harring- ton, chief of weather bureau, Washingio1 “Beri-Bert,” Dr. Judson Daland, Philadel- phia; “Some practical observations on so- called malaria,” Dr. Wh.H. Daly, Pittsburg; “Shock in ‘acute diseases,” Musser, Philadelphia; “The physical sign: of cellular oedema of the lung considered in their relation to the pathological changes,” Dr. W. C. Glasgow, St. Louis, Beri-Beri. The paper of Dr. Judson Daland on Beri-Beri was a description of three cases of this curious and infrequent disease, which camé under his observation at the Philadelphia lavaretto. The three men were all sailors in a ship which was out eighty-two days from Bombay. They were all Egyptians, though the crew of the ship represented a half dozen nationalities from all over the world. When the three men were admitted te the quarantine hospital they were in a very bad way, although they showed no signs of scurvy. In the opinion of Dr. Daland the disease was one caused entirely by the character of the food the men had.on the ship. This consisted for the most part of dried fish, with rice, and in insufficient quantities. bcueh of the fish was decomposed, and this he found to the principle cause of the trouble. This, he thought, was proved by the fact, that the other sailors on represent other rationalities, were not afflicted at all, and he found on examination that the D- tians were lodked down upon by the other sailors, both white and black, and were compelled to eat the poorest food of all. When the men were in the hospital the most striking characteristic of sheir disease was the changes that took place in their powers of scnsation. Occasionally a portion of .their body would be anaesthetic and would be hyper-aesthetic, so that at one time it would be possible to run a needle in the flesh without giving pain, while at another time the patient could not stand the slightest touch in these parts. Dr. Daland said that he was not altogether sure that the cases were really those of Beri-Beri, and he pointed out the similarity of the disease to the fish poisoning which has been noted along the coast of Maine. Beri-Beri, while so rare in this country, is by no means unusual in the east, and is more frequent, probably, in Japan than anywhere else. The speaker expressed the opinion that this discase may be more common in this’ country than is generally supposed, and said that it might be rath- er common among the colored peopie of the south, Medical Director Gihon, however, ex- pressed himself as saitcfied that the cases reported by Dr. Daland were veritable cases of Beri-Beri, and he spoke of several casés that had come under his notice in the Marine Hospital at New York. The disease broke out among the sailors on some Bra- cilian men-of-war ‘in New York harbor. Dried fish was « large part of their rations, and Dr. Gihon said that he was satisfied that the disease was one of mal-nutrition. All the patients that he had noted had re- covered with a wholesome and varied diet. The Laryngological Association. At the meeting of the American Laryngo- logical Association yesterdey officers were elected for the ensuing ycar as follows: Dr. J. O. Roe of Rochester, N. Y., presi- dent; Dr. C. C. Rice of New York city, vice Dr. 8. H. Chapman of New Haven, Conn., second vice president, and br. Charles H. Knight of New York city, Secretary and treasurer. Dr. Loomis on Vivisection, At the general session of the congress at Metzerott Hall last evening Dr. Alfred L. |} Loomis of New York, the president of the congress, delivered his annual address, tak- ing for his subject “The Influence of Ani- mal Experimentation on Medical Science.” In his paper he strongly defended the prac- tice of viviseetion of animals on account of the valuable results which the medical pro- fession and the human race received from knowledge of biology so obtained. Much of his paper was devoted to a historical con- sideration of the question, and he touched upon the work of the great leaders in medi- cine, Galen, Volta, the discoverer of the Voltaic pile; Harvey, who discovered the circulation, and many others, showing how they had contributed to the advancement of medical Knowledge by animal experi- mentation. By the dissection of living animals, Dr. Locmis maintained, they hed first succeed- ed in discovering the relation of the organs to one another and their relative position in the body. The next step had been the es- tablishment of their normal condition in perfect life, then the effect of medicine on the healthy organism. From this the sci- ence had advanced to attempts to relieve disease by surgical means. Dr. Loomis protested against the criti- ciems of humanitarians who found fault with experiments upon living animals and he showed that nowadays animals ar2 araesthetized, so that frequently operations vpon them are not only painless, but blood- less. He spoke of the effect of an epidemic of cholera carrying away thousands of peo- ple who awaited the results of the experi- meter in the laboratory. Tuberculosis was also cited as an Instatice of the beneficial effects of animal experiments. All these great advances in the knowledge of dread diseases was acquired in the laboratory with the sacrifice of a few animal lives and with the sacrifice of no human lives. Received at the White House. After the delivery of Dr. Loomis’ ad- Gress the members of the congzess, with their friends and the ladies with them, left in a body for the White House, where they were tendered a handsome reception by President and Mrs. Cleveland. The reception lasted from 9 o'clock until 10, and during the hour over four hundi guests enjoyed the opportunity of visiting the Executive Mansion and shaking hands with the President. The lower floor was all thrown open, including the conservator- jes, and there was a gorgeous display of floral decorations, The Marine Band, under the leadership of Prof. Fanciulli, was sta- tioned in the corridor and furnished a num- ber of selections during the reception. On entering the visitors were showri into the red room and from there they passed into the blue room, where the re- ceiving party stood. The receiving party consisted of the President and Mrs. Cleve- land, with Mrs. Dr. Loomis, wife of the president of the congress, and Mrs. L. C. Gray of New York city, wife of the chair- mar of the executive committee of the col . Mrs. Cleveland wore a gown of pink moire, trimmed with gold lace, which extended down the skirt. Mrs. Loomis was in white moire, covered with chiffon, and wore also a necklace of diamonds. Mrs. Gray appeared in white silk. The visitors were introduced as they passed along in line by Cel, John M. Wilson, as- sisted by Dr. Gray and Dr. R. C. Mitchell of New York city. To Come Back in Three Years. ‘The next congress of American physicians and surgeons will be held, in this city three years hence. It is so provided in the con- stitution. An effort was made at: the busi- ness meeting this afternoon to change the constitution so as to give the executive committee authority to select the place of meeting, but the matter was left over until the next congress. It came up on the re- port from the executive committee, which contained a resolution, introduced by Dr. White, making this change in the constitu- tion. The recommendation was submitted without remarks by the executive commit- tee. The constitution, however, provides that amendments to the constitution must lie over for a meeting, and this matter was made the special business for the first ses- sion of the next congress. The business meeting this afternoon was ery brief. It was presided over by Dr. Loomis, and the chief business consisted in the adoption of several resolutions. A memorial was adopted, to be presented to } Congress, 1g for the appointment of a national commission of five to look into the matter of the prevalence of leprosy in this country and to suggest means for its ex- termination. A resolution was also Enaepmcusty, adopt- ed protesting against the clause of the ap- propriation bill now before Congress which provides for a reduction of twenty-five in the medical staff in the army, and also re- duces the appropriation for the medical museum. A Protest Against a Bill. The address of the president of the con- gress last evening bore fruit today. A resolution was adopted calling attention to the fact that there is now a bill before Congress which will make it an offense to experiment on living animals in the inter- ests of science in the District of Colum- bia. An earnest protest was made against this effort to prevent vivisection, and the attention of Congress was called to the fact that all attempts at such legislation in other countries have either proved futile or have had evil results. —_————>_-__—_ MYSTERIES OF FLORIDA, Am Underground River That Makes Things Very Lively. From the Florida Times-Union, ‘Two miles south of Gainesville is a prai- rie. At certain seasons strangers wonder why it is called a “prairie,” for they look out upon a broad stretch of water, so deep that storms churn its surface into roliing white-capped billows. At times the com- merce of the lake is done by steamer, while at other times there is not water enough to float a canoe. In fact, I have crossed the prairie in the steamer and again have zone over identically the same route in a stage, from whose wheels clouds of dust would roll. On the edge of the prairie, half wailed in by rock, dense with immense trees draped in lqng festoons of moss, is a pool of water called “The Sink.” The depth of it has never been sounded. From this siuk an underground river flows and makes its way no one knows where. Sometimes an acre or so of land, trees all, will fall into the underground river, and then the drainage of the prairie is obstructed and the prairie “goes dry.” In a year or two the river will have seeped around the obstruction, and then the prairie “goes wet.” In ihe neigh- borhood of Gainesville there are hundreds of these sinks, all of them as round as a dollar, and averaging from a quarier to a half acre in extent. North of Gainesville is a pretty and mys- terlous spot called the ‘Devil's Mill-hop- per.” A‘large gtream of water comes down hill with considerable force, and disappeats in a pool that has no visible outlet. Near Brooksville is another pool very similar to the Devil's Mill-hopper. A stream of water pours into it and disappears in a whirlpool in the center. Throw a log in it and it will circle the pool many times, gradually draw- ing near to the center. Suddenly the log disappears. Some grewsome stories are connected with the Brooksville pool. It is said that the place is haunted, for the reason that many @ man, and woman, too, has mysteriously disappeared in it, never to be heard of after- ward. In the pioneer days of that part of the country, so the stories go, there was a secret society which washed all its dirty linen in that pool. In other words, if a man or woman gave grave offense to any members of the society, he or she was gagged, bound, and in the darkness of night thrown intd the pool. —— eee. THE WAITER’S COCKTAIL. And How He Obtained It Against the Rules of the Hotel. From the New York Herald. In a swell hotel on Broadway, not far from Herald square, the head waiter is not allowed to indulge in bibulous refreshments during the hours he is on duty. The other evening he was filled with an irrepre’sible longing for a cocktail. He managed to get it with such ease that it was evidently a well tried and efficacious trick. His method can be best understood by quoting the waiter: “Shure, we're not charging ye’s for a cocktail,” whispered a wait@r to a young gentleman to whom he had just brought a check, “‘but the head waiter wanted a cock- jtail and thought yous would be the wan who would moind least having it put on. to ye’s bill. You see,” whispered the waiter confidentially, “he couldn't put it onto the bill of the gists in the house, they might remark it, so he had to put it onto the bill of somebody who came in from the strate. I'll bring ye’s the twinty cents back &nd thank ye's fur the accommodation,” “The head waiter has either discerned that you are a man with a liberal and sym- Pathetic disposition or one who knows how good a cocktail tastes and how bad a man wants it when you cannot get it,” remarked the young lady who was dining with the |Sentleman who the head waiter righiiy j singled out as a possible friend to a fellow |in need of spirituous consolation, see A Fishing Disaster. | From the Yonkers Gaz:tte.

BLOCKED BY THE GOUSE OF MAGNATES | » The Kaiser Has a Facial Tumor Removed. CLOSE OF PARLIAMENT VIENNA, June 1.—Dr. Wekerle, whose resigration of the Hungarian premiership was tendered yesterday, conferred today with the ban of Croatia, Count Hedervary, who was specially summoned to Vienna. The ban then had an audience of Emperor Francis Joseph, who afterward announced the resignation of the Wekerle cabinet. ‘The emperor added that he had accepted the resignations of the ministers, and com- missioned Count Hedervary to form a new cabinet. Dr. Wekerle had requested that Hungary be allowed to nominate a sufficient number of liberals to the house of magnates to in- sure the passage by that body of the civil marriage bill. Emperor Francis Joseph absolutely re- fused to grant this request. Dr. Wekerle therefore handed him the resignation of the ministry, and the emperor accepted the resignation. When Dr, Wekerle tendered the resigna- tion of the cabinet both the emperor and Count Von Kalnoky, the imperial minister INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. i Page SSSSSSSucekaSsatiiioe peperererenery 1 1 1 1 1 u u 1 1 0 rt a 0 10 9 8 10 n 10 1” u n 10 8 u Hittite ete i Ett i of foreign affairs, implored him to recon- sider his determination to resign. They asked him to postpone the question of pass- ing the civil marriage bill until the autumn, and to endeavor in the meantime to ar- range a compromise. Dr. Wekerle refused to do this, and emphatically declined to re- main in office. The civil marriage bill was passed by the Hungarian house of representatives by a large majority, but was rejected by the house of magnates. It was again brought up in the house of representatives, and it was decided, on the motion of Dr. Wekerle, to send it back to the house of magnates for a second vote upon it. Dr. Wekerle did not hope to secure the bill's passage by the house of magnates as at present constitut- ed, and he therefore requested that the em- peror consent to the creation of a number of new peers.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In all probability there has been no occu- pant of a back seat on the lower floor at Albaugh’'s during the present summer opera sceson who has not felt that he objected to the disagreeable glare from the three- prorged incandescent lights. ‘The candle | jets formerly in use are behind the guard | rail of the first gallery, which serves as a| screen for them. But the new lights hang | between the posts of the first gallery, di- rectly in the range of vision, looking to the | stage. The lights are very ornamental and | from an aesthetic point of view above criti- | cism, but to tired eyes looking at the stage | beyond them they become almost unbear- | able before the curtain drops. I am in- formed that the peace and comfort of the dress circle are disturbed in the same way I have described with reference to the orchestra circle. Washingtonians have many improvements to thank the new man- ager of the theater for. To Mr. Allen we are indebted for the new avenue entrance, which is a thing of beauty and a joy for | every patron, and the iron stairways on the | 15th street side afford a quick exit, but cer- tain it is that their obligation will not be diminished if he devises some means of re- lieving them from the glare of the electric Lghts in their present position.

The Commissioners W' Contractors Right Up to It is about settled that the Commissioners will do nothing toward vitiating the con- tract between the District and the garbage contractors this year. It is very evident, however, that they propose to hold the con- tractors right up to the mark, and have frotified the health officer to see to it that the contract is rigidly enforced, as he will be held personally responsible. This was set forth in the following letter to the health officer today “Numerous com- plaints have reached the Commissioners re- cently of garbage being found in the river, Among them was one from the mayor of Alexandria, who claims that the people of Alexandria have been much annoyed by Com- garbage being washed ashore. The missioners have no means of knowing whether the garbage has been dumped im the river purposely by the contractors, or as the result of carelessness, but in either case it is a violation of the contract, and calls for prompt action on your part to pre- vent a repetition of it.” In this connection the Commissioners call attention to the clauses in the general stipu- jations of the contract, which, they say, it is their duty to rigidly enforce against the contractors, and end their letter as follows: “Please inform us whether the garbage is removed beyond the limits of the District twice daily, as miovided for in the specifica- tions, and whether it is deposited at places approved by you. You willbe held per- sonally responsible for the enforcement of Uhese requirements. ————_-— A Decoration Day Drank. Henry Colbert, a colored man employed as a helper at Carroll Institute, had a good time on Decoration day spending money he sot from a colored woman named Susan Ashly. The latter went to a saloon to get change for a $5 bill and Colbert was stand- ing at the door. He told her that he was employed ia the place, and it was because of this Statement that she trusted him with the bill. Henry made a 10-cent purchase and got the change all right, but instead of turning it over to the woman he walked out the back way and jumped over the fence. Susan got tired of waiting for Henry and learned upon inquiry that he had gone over the back fence. He was drinking early in the | and this was the defense made Fa | when the case was heard in Judge Miller's court today. “Why didn’t you return the money?” Judge Miller asked him. “I had been drinking,” was his reply, “but I didn’t intend to steal her money; I can’t tell a Ne about it.” “But you could jump over the back fence,” added the judge, “and you are ine& 5 in addition to making restitution.”
