Receptacles Must Be Accessible to the Collectors—Thousands of Circulars Issued by the Commissioners. The Commissioners are determined to compel the garbage contractors to properly perform the work of collection. This morn- ing Supt. Baily of the Sanitary Company appeared before the Commissioners, in answer to a summons, and had quite a lengthy interview on garbage matters. He admitted that there were numerous com- plaints, but said the contractors were not responsible. The fault was in the house- holders who failed to put the garbage in ac- cessible places. It was distinctly provided in the contract, he said, that the garbage should at all times be accessible. This, however, was not done, and the result was that people complained. If they would only comply with the regulations of the Com- missioners there would be fewer complaints. The Commissioners thereupon issued the following and ordered 40, printed and distributed to every householder in the Dis- trict: The following extracts from the Police Regulations, article 15, and notes pertain- ing to the collection and removal of gar- bage, are hereby issued for the information of the public. Police Re; tions, Article 15. Section 1. No person other than the con- tractor or his collectors shall engage in col- lecting garbage, offal, or dead animals within the city limits, unless authorized by the health officer. Section 2. Owners or tenants of each house, hotel. restaurant, commission house, or other place where there may be accumulations of garbage, shall provide suitable garbage receptacles. Section 3. Garbage receptacles must made of metal, water-tight, covered, and of capacity not less than three nor more than ten gallons, and shall be so placed upon the premises as to be accessible to the collectors at all hours during daylight. Section 4. It is unlawful to put anything but animal and vegetable matter in such garbage receptacles. See. 5. Collectors are not required to re- move any garbage containing ashes, cans, glass, straw, or anything but animal or vegetable matter. 6. Any person — any of the provisicns of this article shall, on convic- tion thereof in the Police Court, be pun- ished by a fine of not less than $5, nor more than $10 for each and every offense. Notes, Where there is neglect on the part of the collector to remove regularly the garbage, as herein defined, notice by postal card, or otherwise, should be immediately given to the health officer or the contractor. By the specifications of the contract it is provided that “all garbage shall be collect- ed and removed from dwellii ing houses in the cities of W Georgetown and their more densely popu- lated suburbs three times per week from the first day of April to the first day of November, and twice per week from the first diy of November to the first day of April in each year; and from markets, hotels and other like places, daily or often- er, as necessity may require.” ——_— LIQUIDS IN THE MAILS. A Notice From the Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service. The question of admission of lquids into the mails has proved a source of consider- able annoyance to the Post Office Depart- ment. Frequent violations of the section of the postal regulations governing the mat- ter have been reported, and the general superintendent of the railway mail service has issued the following notice to all post- masters: “The postal laws and regulations pre- seribe the condition under which liquids may be admitted to the mails. The provi- sions should be carefully enforced by all postmasters, who should see that the cases in which such matter is inclosed are water- tight and not less than 3-16 of an inch thick. An ordinary wooden box with screw cover does not comply with the pro- visions of the regulation, and this office has reason to believe that a number of manu- facturers in different parts of the country advertise to sell mailing boxes that do not comply with the provisions, and that a large number of such boxes are used. Nearly all of the larger firms mapufactur- ing mailing cases have submitted samples to this office for inspection and approval, and their cases bear a certificate from th office that they conform to the regulations of’ the Post Office Department. Postmasters should carefully scrutinize all malling cases | that do not bear such a certificate to sce that they comply fully with the regula- tions.” ———__-e.___—_- ‘The Carnot Obs: les Official announcement that the funeral of the late President Carnot of France will take place 01 Sunday has been received here by Ambassador Patenotre. This in- formation came to him in a cablegram from his government, which also contained in- structions to the effect that all French of- fieers at home and abroad are to wear mourning for a period of thirty days. This will be up to the 25th of July. The ambas- sador will notify consular officers in a bassy from Paris concerning the holding of ‘cial commemoration services here on the of the burial of the murdered prest- dent. Should such services be held they will, in all probability, take place in St. Matthew's Church. —_—> _- Mourning Ordered for President Car- not. M.

EUROPE’S ONLY TOPIC Latest Gossip Abroad Regarding theGreat : Tragedy. Attitude of the Anarchists—Dagger bstituted for Explosives—What is Said at the Capitals. The following interesting @spatches ap- peared in this morning’s London papers and were telegraphed to America too late for this morning’s papers here: A special dispatch from Rome to the Daily News says that people here think there was some connection between the recent attempt of Legas upon the life of Prime Minister Crisp! and the crime of Santo. Legas left Marseilles for Rome eight days after Santos left Cette for Lyons, both having previously procured arms. The poetess Ada Negri is said to be a distant relative of Santo, and that she in- structed him for four years. Santo Glories in His Act. ‘A dispatch to the Standard from Lyons says that Santo stated while being ex- amined by the magistrate that he had no personal grievance against Persident Car- not. He killed him because he was @ tyrant. ‘The magistrate asked: “Are you an an- archist?” Santo replied: “Yes, and I am proud of it.” “Why did you kill the president?” “I will tell a jury; they shall know the motives that prompted my action.” “How did you stab M. Carnot?” “I pushed aside a cuirassier's horse. I had the dagger concealed in my sleeve, and I had only to raise my hand. I aimed at his stomach and brought my arm down sharply, at the same time shouting: “Vive Yanarchie.’ The crowd rushed at me and prostrated me, and I was beaten mefci- lessly.” “You persist in affirming that you did not have accomplices?” : “Yes—but is the president dead?” Santo gathered from the magistrate’s silence that his blow had been effective. He smiled with satisfaction, and raising his hand simulated the stabbing. The ex- amination lasted four hours, and the mag- istrate was convinced that Santo acted alone. Louise Michel Rejoices. A special dispatch from Paris to ‘the ‘Times states that according to the Matin Louise Michel, the notorious woman an- archist, says that the execution of Presi- dent Carnot was no more than a simple act of justice. In M. Carnot a whole class, the whole bourgeois world, has been struck at. M. Carnot embodied the execrable capital- jst repubiic. It was not merely Deibler, “the executioner’ lent, but also the Panamais' der Cesar: dagger. Anarchy will once more have deserved well of mankind, for love of mankind is the sole object of an- archy. Individual revolt is the prelude to a grand plebian revolution from which social harmony will emerge. Alexandre Cohen, a Belgian anarchist, who was recently expelled from France, says it .was not an assassination, but an execution. Ravachol, Vaillant and Henry have been avenged. Carnot was pitiless to anarchists. Coldly and cruelly, despite coun: to clemency, he handed them over to Deibler. He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. The Times correspondent reproduces an article from the Parti Socialiste, published prior to the execution of Vaillant. The article declares that if he allowed the ex- ecution nobody would pity Carnot if one |day he should meet the little unpleasant- ness of seeing his wooden carcass shattered by a bomb. The radical papers objected to the Parti Socialiste being prosecuted for this article, which found a jocular defender in Vivian, a socialist barrister and deputy. The Obsequies. A commission has been appointed to di- rect the obsequies of the president. It in- , cludes Col. Chamoin, who will represent M. ; Carnot’s family; M. Roujon, director of the | Acaderay of Fine Arts; M. Huet, director of | public works; Ambroise Thomas, M. Saint |Saens and Architects Garnier and Guil- | laume. A itallan Feeling. ‘rhe mayor of Marseilles has issued an ad- dress urging citizens to refrain from molest- ing Atallans, but a strong anti-Italian feeling exists. ‘Twenty-five Italians employed in enlarging the St. Cyr College have been dis- missed in deference to the wishes of the other workmen. Several other building con- tractors have been warned not to employ itallans. Since yesterday extraordinary ani- mation has reigned at Versailles. Architects at the senate chamber began yesterday morning to arrange not only the Salle des Seances, but the apartments des- tined for the presidents and the questors of the two houses. An army of sweepers, pol- ishers, masons, carpenters and upholsterers were set at work to put in order the as- scmbly room and to render habitable the whole series of apartments, which, in nor- mal times, contain no furniture whatever. Instead of Explosives. A dispatch to the Chronicle from Paris Says that M. Lepine, procureur of the re- public has learned that the conspiracy of cosmopolitan anarchists recently resolyed to change their tactics and instead of using ex- plosives to use the knife or revolver against prominent rulers and statesmen. ‘The at- tempt of Legas upon the life of Prime Min- ister Crispi opened the murderous series. ‘Tne dispatch adds that the contingent of detectives which followed M. Carnot was un- usually large. 1t is said that even at the last moment M. Rivaud, prefect of the Rhone, advised President Carnot to make a short cut on foot from the bourse to the theater, but M. Carnot was assured by M. Lepine that there was no danger. Gen. Borlus also argued against the short cut be- ing taken, being anxtous that there should be no lessening of the eclat of the presi- dential cortege. Socialists Are Silent. A dispatch from Berlin to the Times says: Although the socialists always re- pudiate any connection with the anarchists, it is significant that whenever the world is startled by some ghastly application of anarchist doctrines they suddenly become tongue-tied. An article in the Vorwarts, a socialist organ, on the assassination of President Carnot, contains not a word of reprobation for the assassin, and scarcely a word of sympathy for the victim, beyond a grudging admission that he was person- ally honorable. All the paper's denuncia- tion is reserved for those who are fighting over the dead man for spoils, and who have degraded the republic, until it is a mere tool in the hands of capitalism. Such an article {s a striking specimen of the kind of Hterature which, acting upon an unhealthy mind, produces criminals of the Santo type. Alleged Accomplice Arrested. A dispatch to the Times from Paris says that an anarchist named Laborrie, who is supposed to have been an accomplice of Santo, has been arrested at Montpelier, capital of the department of Herault. The dispatch further says that an at- tempt has been made to blow up the rail- way bride near Montlucon, department of Altier. A man who was arrested on sus- picion of pare the author of the outrage was found to have dynamite cartridges in anarchist activity in France at the present juncture. a Some Burglaries. This morning between 9 and 10 o'clock sneak thieves entered the notion store of er, corner of 12th and W streets and robbed the money drawer of about $11. Sometime last night burglars visited the of 8th and § streets northwest. An en- trance was effected by forcing open the front door, and the store was robbed of $25 and 500 cigars. During the past week burglars visited the club house at Twining City, and carried off a clock and some knives and forks. ee Concert at the Capitol Grounds. ‘Yhe Marine Band will give a concert at the Capitol at 6 o'clock this evening, when the following program will be rendered: Mareh, “Marine Band” Fanclulli.

What Mr. White Said to the Com- missioners on the Subject. J. L. White, who signs himself “Agent,” appeared before the Commissioners this morning in the interest of House bill 7095, to provide for the erection of a national home for aged and infirm colored persons and the maintenance of the inmates thereof. He said: “In the Fifty-second Congress I appeared before the Commissioners upon this same Subject, and they decided that to the money they had jurisdiction over, they only controlled the revenue that was: de- rived from the taxes of the District of Co- lumbia, and as to the home, they had no objection to the passage of the bill making an appropriation of $150,000. As to the necessity of such an institution, there are over 80,000 colored people in this District, and they have no charitable institution of their own; while they raise collections each month from all their churches, they have to carry it around to, private houses, and the colored people all over the country ed a petition asking Congress to ap- priate this money to build a national emmorial home for the aged and infirm lored people. As to the proviso that is in the bill, which was put in by Mr. Can- fion without our consent, we are willing that that should be stricken out of the bill, although there {s no way that a charitable institution of this character can become 4 charge upon the general government or the local government. This Is intended to be a Christian home and run on just.such basis as a Christian church. The Consti- tution provides that the church and. state must be kept separate; therefore, we feel «that no government authority, has, any- thing to do with such institution, only to see that they are governed according to their charter and discipline.” : Satan day STREET CAR FENDERS. The Tes: Already Made by the Com- missione! Senator Gallinger is very much interested in the subject of fenders for street cars. In a@ letter io the Commissioners recently he expressed his regrets at not being ‘able to witness the experiments of a patent fen- der, and urged them. to find a suitable ap- pliance at the earliest possible moment. In reply te this letter the Commissioners invite attention to their report upon the subject of car fenders, made in response to @ resolution of the Senate March 20, 1894. It is generally understood—in fact, the Commissioners have practically agreed not to recommend the adoption of any car fender that extends beyond the front of the car. Their reason for this is that such con- struction is dangerous, and many people are cavght that would otherwise escape. Up to this time but one car fender has been tried Whose construction was wholly under- neath the car and behind the front dash- board. That was the Eldridge J. Smith fender, and those who saw its operation on the Washington and Georgetown railroad were much pleased with it. The Commis- sioners, however, can take no further action in the matter of fenders. They have al- ready transmitted to Congress their report upon the subject, and it is for that body to enact such laws as will compe! ihe rail- road companies to adopt some form of fender. —_——_—_ Released on Bail, Edward Conover and the colored man, Remus Jefferson, arrested yesterday on charges of violating the policy law, gave bond in the sum of 20 and were released.

The Tiny Farms Seen on the Trip— Tea on the Top of the Hill— ” whe Hardy Bearers. Written for The Evening Star. Without regret we sailed away from the flat shores of China, back to the charming land of Japan, and something like the pleas- ure of again meeting a captivating little friend thrilled us when we saw once more the beautiful harbor of Nagasaki, with the litle town itself nestling among the hills just beyond. If, in ‘the cold stillness of winter, we had felt ourselves gradually falling in love with “picturesque Japan,” now, that we have returned in this lovely | Maytime, ‘when the whole rural world has {one a-harvesting, we find our subjugation complete. Hach trip through the country adds a rivet to our chains, but the ‘rickshaw ride through the.golden sunshine, to the little village of Yagami,added another chain, We started in the early afternoon, were trotted briskly through the queer little streets of Nagasaki, up, up, over the hills, our patient bipeds never stopping, never ooking upon the panorama of beauty upon which we were feasting—passed little ham- lets and tiny farm houses, with their slant- ing, thatched rpats, aud miniature barley fields, some no larger than our garden bor- ders at home—passed little graveyards, with their. queer gray. gravestones, some in the form.of a sleepy stone god, and right in the midst, a queer mixture, of the living and the dead, appeared the thatched roof and slid- ing doors of the home of some thrifty peas- ant. Always up our bipeds trotted, casting aside, as they hurried on, a superfluous garment, or occasionally mopping their drip- ping faces, but never stopping until we reached our highest elevation, where we rested at a tea house to emjoy the goodly piece of Nippon lying below u: Getting. Used to Phings. On first arriving in Japah one's heart is racked with the “cruelty to animals” in allowing the jinrickisha man..to.carty one through the level streets of Yokohama, but it is astonishing how gradually one becomes hardened, so that by the time ; this southernmost island 1s reached the tortuous streets and hills of Nagasaki are ascended without a qualm or thought for the poor beast of burden. The abnormal development of the muscle of the Japanese leg is curious. Everything trots and runs from childhood,so it is really the exposure in the winter that makes the average life of a jinrickisha man so short. One wet, cold day last winter five of them dashed through the streets of Tokio, carrying a party to the station in time to catch a train. They were just in time, but the last seen of them they like so many horses. It is that and the standing of all sorts of weather that mak: the average life but five years. Tea House on the Heights. The beautiful stir of nature is what most impressed us this May afternoon, overlvok- wondered what would be the sensation of some good old farmer at home could he be suddenly transported from his own ex- pansive harvest ficld to the harvest field of barley fields like a patchwork quilt, the patches very small indeed, and ihe quilt looking like a very “crazy” one, the tiny fields being of every shape conceivable to the ingenuity of the Japanese brain, some no bigger than a dining table, some but a mintature triangle, and in the midst al- ways a Ruth and Boaz with sickie indus- triously cutting handsful of yellow grain and laying them down carefully in line, somewheat as our florist at home would | lay down bunches of choice roses. Some | rain had already been garnered in the | small court yard, and men, women and were beating the grain from the chaff with primitive flails, or with jagged pieces of wood in mortar and pesile-like affairs, and always Ruth and Boaz ap- peared in the most abbreviated of costumes, while with the litte children sometimes sunshine was considered a sufficient coyver- ing. Truly in summer Japan is one huge “life class.” But one gets used to. such small peculiarities in an astonishingly short time, so with only a lazy thought upon the difference of eastern and western civ- ilization, and after our men had imbibed | their saki, and had taken some restful whiffs from their tiny pipes, and we our- selves had been inspected by some dozens of small children. each with the latest edi- | tion to the family tree strapped for safe | keeping upon its back, and had given quite a “cumsha”™ to the “chesi”” (a small coin to the children), we started on our descent on the other side to the village of Yagami. Going Down the Hillside. Backward and forward, like the descend- ling wire of a corkserew, our road wound the whole hillside, locking like a huge ter- raced park, our road peeping in and out |not unlike the gay ribbons of a May pole, ‘and all the time we were swiftly passing | the same quiet, busy scenes that had de- lighted us on the other side. Here the view was more extended; away off in the dis- tance was the sea, while near at hand were the same odd little hamlets and farm houses. Once we passed a primitive temple jin the midst of a beautiful grove, and ap- | proached by the inevitable “torix,” but on |we sped, until our patient, never-tiring |jinrickisha men told us “only five minutes | More to the tea house,” and sure enough, in less than five minutes, they drew us up in the tea house of Yagami. Such a pretty little tea house it is; completely embowered lin roses hanging in great red clusters, and lovking lke @ nest of boxes gene d |the sea, the sliding panels all remov everything open te the free air of heaven, the freshest of sea breezes cooling the warm May afternoon, These same little boxes are the perfection of summer houses, the most sumptuous being elegantly “ur- nished with .only the. tataml, or matting covering on the floor, and the characteristic kakamona, but in winter how the poor lit- tle people do shrivel up in. thelr airy abodes, their hands the only thing warm about them, and these they keep warm by hang- ing over their hibacki, or small fire-box. Coming to Japan in winte> one’s sympa- thies go out to the people; all look so cold; everything is lived out of doors, and the houses are so tiny and flimsy and open. Women take their sewing and sit in the sunshine outside, doubled up on their fu- tons, or mats; the children never stay in- doors, and the Japanese, having no concep- tion of the privacy of home life, everything is done in the broad light of day. In sum- | mer everything presents a different aspect, and western civilization is apt to envy the utte> simpiicity of the east, the cool, un- | constious abandon of Japan. A Cleanly People. One wonders, where everything is on so tiny a scale, and children are so numerous, how everything can be kept so clean, and If “cleanliness is next to godliness,” the Japa- nese cannot be far from the kingdom of | heaven. The home may be poor and tiny | mdeed, but rarely is it without its curious | little garden, with its cameHia, or azalia bush, or quaint, twisted shrub, and the or- rangement of flowers is taught in the schools, the idea of heaven, earth and man being embodied in every artistic bunch of their beloved cherry blossoms. Well, we drank in the sea and the lovely landscape at the same time we drank in the tea of | Nippon, that afte-noon at the little tea | house at Yagami, and with our tea had | sponge cake served, Nagasaki being the | only place where we have found such Chris- | tian refreshment as sponge cake, a relic of the Dutch traders who came here some three hundred years ago, and with their de- scendants were kept years and years on the Island of Deshima, where the porcelain bazaar now stands, suffering the most hu- miliating restrictions, that they might mo- nopolize the Japanese trade. At last, in the coolness of the late after- noon, we all started back to Nagasaki, and in two hours twinkled the myriad lights of the beautiful harbor, with its eight men-of- great nations, looking at variance with the peaceful scene. Hundreds of sampans, each with its own little lights, freely spzinkled the bay, and nearer at hand, pretty little Japanese maidens, recalling Pierre Lott's little Madame Chrysantheme, with small wooden pails, and with curious little wooden dip- | pers, splashed water everywhere to lay the dust and cool the evening air.

From the Brooklyn Eagle, It is a melancholy fact that almost every confederate general who succumbed to dis- eace or fell in battigdied in poverty brought on by his devotion to the cause he espoused. Raphael and Paul Semmes both died poor themselves, but a daughter of the former married a prosperous lawyer, Gen. Zolli- coffer. She left nothing to a family of five Gaughters, four of whom, however, ried well. The fifth may have done like- “HERP T} 5 3 ie seasonably helped General Polk left nothing to his family, but his son, Dr. Polk, located an meager inheritance to his family. General Ewell, who died three vs after her husband, 07 a very dewable Property in St. Louis and maintained a very comfortable establishment. General Bragg left no property and his widow went to live with her sister In New Orleans. Gen. eral Hood was far from being wealthy, and General D. H. was absolutely poor. Major General iting of Fort Fisher fame, who died in prison in 1864, left nothing, and General L. M.- Walker, killed by duke in a duel, left but little to his wifer Some Tried Wall Street. * Gen. Buckner had a varied experience. His wife owned large tracts of unimproved real estate in Chicago, which was confis- cated, but afterward recovered. It was then mortgaged, built up and, in a panic, sac- rificed for the mortgage money, leaving him poor. Gen. Zack Deas of Alabama, whose fame may not have been equal to that of others, was a shrewd financier. He went into Wall street after the war and became rich. Gen. P. D. Roddy, a dashing cavairy- man, also made the plunge into Wall street, but his fate was different. He lost every- thing he had, and then went to London and earned a moderate income as financial agent of some banking . Gen. J. Ww. Frazer, who surrendered Cumberland Gap, settled down in New York and prospered as a broker. Gen. Thomas Jordan became editor of the Mining: Record, and was, for yeurs, a familiar figure on Broadway. Maj. Gen. Lorin served for four years in the Egyptian army, then retu-ned to Americe and became connected with a mining com pany of New Mexico, where he made money fast, and became wealthy. Another, whe Went to Egypt was Gen. A. W. Reynolds, He served awhile, dropped out of service, and then settled down in the country of his adoption. The careers of Early and Beauregard are well known. They lived and prosperel in New Orleans, whe-e they superintendei the drawings of the Louisiana Lottery Compa ny. Gen. Early’s death oceurred in Vtr- ginia only a few months ago. He was one of the last of the great southern generals, The latter days of Gen. R. E. Lee's life were passed in the quiet of Lexington, in his native state, where he became an in- structor of young men. The duties of a col- lege p2esident were faithfully fulfilled ey him, though it is probable that the last years of his life were filled with am infinire Sadness. Whatever physicjans may say, it is not far from the truth to declare that he died of a broken heart. Of the remaining brilliant leader# of the lost cause, some dropped from sight and memory, others had a quiet and p-osperous old age, but few fared worse than Gen. Thomas Benton Smith He passed his la- = years in an insané asylum in Tennes- ——+e-—___. Caught in the Act. From the New York Mercury. One afternoon last week when a perfect gale of wind was raging a Brooklyn gen- Ueman in feeble health was struggling to reach his home, aided by his wife. Just as they reached the corner of a strect @ huge tin chimney*pot was torn from the roof of a house by the power of the wind and dashed to the ground just in front of the feebie gentleman and his wife. “Good eavers,” cried the gentleman. “That was a narrow escape for us.” “If it had +truck us, it would have killed us,” she replied. The two stopped for a moment to exam. ime the chimney pot—more dangerous In high wind than a borfibshell—but just as they were scrutinizing it a window nearby was ed, a female head was thrust out, and in a shrill tone she shouted, “You reegn’t think you're going to carry that off, “cause it b'longs to my house. oo Not Enough to Stop a From the London Globe. A fellow campaigner with the late Gen. Cureton, who died at Kearney, mar Dover, this week, sends us the following story iMustrative of the gallant officer's sang froid when on active service: During the Kaffir war Gen. Cureton and three other officers were sitting in a bell tent playing waist by the light of a candle, stuck in a bottle. A desultory fire was kept up by the enemy, but of this no notice was taken, although several shots passed clean through the tent. Presently, however, a bullet struck the bottle candlestick, putting the light out. The cards were carelessly laid face downward, and, calling out the guard, Gen. Cureton ordered them to pour a volley in the direction of the firing. He then procured another bottle, relit the can- éle, and the game was quiet finishei, Gen. Cureton and his partner winning the rubber. Whist Game. —EE Joseph Marshall, sixty-two years old, held at the third police precinct on a charge of intoxication, was taken ill in the cell last night and had to be sent to the hom pital for treatment.
