Arithmetic Applied to Garbage. fe the Editor of The Evening Star: Two years ago the Commissioners order- ed a police investigation of the garbage service, which developed the fact that the} maximum capacity of the plaat was be- tween 5,000 and 6,000 visits a day, the con- tract calling for 25,000 visits. The con- tractor’s plant, as the Commissioners must know, has not been increased since then by even a single cart. The question arises here, if the contrac- tor’s plant could only visit 6,000 hou: daily two years ago how can the same pla be made any more effective now by forcin: the people to buy patent garbage —— & | | | | eee C.

AN ENTHOSIASTIC MEBTING Persons With Accommodations Asked to Register at Once. FINANCK COMMITTEE ‘The Pythian public comfort committee met last night at the Hotel Johnson with a goodt ly attendance of members. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by Secre- tary Perey G. Smith. Chairman J. H. Nichols explained to the committee that since its last meeting there had been to a considerable extent a reorganization of the committees appointed fort the purpose cf making the biennial encampment of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, to be held here in August, a rousing success. He explained also the personnel of the various committees, but stated that the committee of which he had the honor to be chairman remained intact, and. that there was no question but that the committee which he had nominated to the central committee at its last meeting would be Tatified. He had thought that this meetiags would be an appropriate time to appoint the varlous subcommittees, but upon consulta- tion with several members who ought to know it had been concluded to postpone} this part of the business until the latter part of July, as folks experienced in such matters maintained that this would leave ample time In which to make the requisite arrangements. Chairman Mitchell also stated, amid enthusiasm, that he had had @ personal conference with every gentle- man whose name appeared on the member- ship roll of his committee and they had promised to stand by him and work viz- orously for the accomplishment of those designs for which the publie.cgmfort com- mittee was intended, He had talked with the twenty Pythians who are members of the committee, and each one had manifest- ed an earnestness and zeal in the matter, which to him was an augury of victory. Secretary Smith, at this point, was called upon to show the number of ‘accommod.- tions for guests which had registered, and he read that accommodations had been registered for a total of 20,841 visitors. | These were divided between ‘the several parts of the city as follows: Southeast, 3 houses, 86 rooms, southwest, 11 houses, 38 rooms, 1 3; northeast, 4 houses, 155 rooms, 558 peopie; northwest, 286 houses, 1,657 roonts, 6,614 people, mak- ing a total of 358 houses, 1,36 rooms, with a capacity for the housing of 7,336 people, registered since the last meeting of the pub- Me comfort committee. Their registry also contained the names of 66 hotels pledging quarters for 13,305 visitors, Secretary Smith sald that in the line of applications for accommodations from visitors elect, he had received a number of communications from various parts of the country, making the inquiries which prospective visitors al- ways make; that is, as to rates, accommo- dations, distance of lodging from the camp and other points of interest, ete. Growing Interest. Chairman Mitchell explained that as the first circular descriptive of the merits of Washington and the glories of the coming encampment had not been productive of immense results, and as the Pythian ex- ecutive committee had seemed disinclined to listen just now to a proposition for send- ing ovt a new circular, he (Chairman Mitchel) had had printed and circulated at his own expense 14,000 circulars, telling of the preparations which were making for this mighty outburst of Pythianism. It Was stated on confident authority that unusual interest was being felt in the com- ing encampment in the strongholds of the uniform ranks in Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, ‘Texas, and in fact, in every state and territory in the Union. Chair- man Mitchell expressed the fear that as leng us the applications for accommoda- tions are coming in more slowly than they should, because of the very recent settle- ment of the transportation question, and the fact that Gen. Carnahan’s order’ stat- ing rates of fare had scarcely been received by many of the divisions, that when the visitors did begin to come it would be with such a rush as almost to overpower the public comfort committee. They were pre- pared to hustle, however, expected to do it, and wanted to do it, but in order to produce the best results and satisfy the visitors in the highest degree possible it was desirable the new comers should send in their applications for quarters at the earliest time possible and not defer it till the eleventh hour. It was thought that Gen. Carnahan would take occasion, in an order to the various commands of the Pythian army to urge upon the soldiers of the lily the advisability of putting in their applications at once, so as to relieve the | public comfort committee of needless tasks declares | and burdens. Chairman Mitchell that he had reason to belleve that his esti- irate of 150,000 visitors during encampment Week was a conservative one which, if it erred at all, erred in the direction of mbdesty. The railroad rates had been fixed at a satisfactory figure, and were as low as had been granted on the occasions of tne Knights Templar conclave, the Grand Arm: encampment and the inauguration. Pythian could reasonably ask the railroads for lower rates than hed been granted, but they could discreetly urge that the roads make a cash contribution. Registration Books. Chairman Mitchell did not think that the register of accommodations was up to the standard and he asked that every mem- ber of the committee make It a point to request their friends, the friends of their 0 | friends, and everybody to whom they could make a suggestion of the kind, to put in their addresses and the number of people they could sleep. The registration books j are opened at headquarters, room 18, War- der buiiding, from 3 to 4, and Secretary Smith is on deck for the purpose of wei- coming guests. A motion was made by Committeeman Bagby that an advertise- ment be placed in Your of the Washington papers for one week, urging the bvarding- house keepers and the room letters of the city to come to the front and let the public comfort committee know how many Py- thian visitors they gan take care of. Com- mitteeman Pierce moved to amend this motion so that the ‘notice should appear for one week in each of the papefs, thus cov- ering a period of four weeks, The motions were carried, but as this would entail an expenditure it will be necessary to have the action of this committee indorsed by the utive committee. Committeman Michael Wallace arose and wanted some informa- tion as to how the recent reorganization of the several committees under the eiti- zens’ management had affected the public comfort committee. Chairman Mitchell gave him the information which he wanted, ich was that the committee In questiv: ct. There was a colloquy between an Mitchell and Committeman Hen- ry on the subject of the registration books which are used by the public comfort com- mitte of the inauguration, with a view to getting a great number of addresses from them, but Secretary Smith showed that this would be useless, because of the very great number of people who had resses since the inuugu- ration. Committeeman Haskins desired to know whether, in the estimate of expenses to be submitted to the executive com- the estimate would include the ex- ated by Messenger service to = to their quarters. Mr. Wal- who had experience in such matters, that unquestionably it would, as it had customary to provide a corps joys to show the newcomers the way the quarters to which they had been ssigned Committeeman Wallace also thought that Chairn mitte pens it would be necessary to have all the reg- istered houses inspected. In past celebra- tioas there had nm a disposition on the Washin ton room renters to over- crowd t found expedient te a tered with a view to ning their fitness for ocer y cases it had been fi that quarters registered were un- desirable at any price.

Mr. Pierce asked for information as 10 what duties would be required of the com- mitteemen, and Mr. Wallace threw some light on this question. All present, how- ever, conceded that it was too early in the season to define the duties of the com- mitteemen, and that this should be settled at a future meeting, but it was quite clear that each .committeeman would be allowed to choose the depot at which he would serve and the hours during which it would be most convenient for him to serve. Mr. Mitchell said that he had approached some people with a request that they serve on the committee, and in some cases they had ap- peared lukewarm about the matter. Wher- ever he had found this to be the case he had immediately left, so that the committee as It stood at present was an enthusiastic working unit. An invitation was read from the Hotel Randall that the committee hold its next session there, and it was so or- dered. A vote of thanks was extended to the Hotel Johnson, and several gentlemen suggested that this vote of thanks be so extended as to include the press, which had so liberally shed its ink in the Pythian cause. Chairman Mitchell here took occa- sion to express his pride and pleasure in his committee and to thank them for their x tendance on such an uncomfortable night. Adjourned. Finance Committee. The finance committee met yesterday at the office of its chairman, Mr. Frank B. Noyes, and discussed various methods for raising the necessary funds. Those pres- men Edson, Staples, Brown, Heurich and Goodhart. At a special meeting of the executive com- mittee, to be held at 4 o'clock. this after- noon at the Warder building, the members of the several subcommittees wi be an- nounced. ' The officers of the first battalion, U. R. K. P., met last night for purposes of In- struction, as they are working to give the} uniform rank in the District @ high stand. | ing in this military order. ‘Those present were: Maj. L. Fugitt, Adjutant J..K. Man- gum, Capt. E. Woltz of Washington Divi- sion, No. . H. Mills, Nelson Division, No. 2; Capt. W. G. Lown; Columbia Divi- sion, No. 3; Capt. H. G. Wagner, Hermione, No. 4 Camp and Grounds. Mr. Lawrence Gerdner, chairman of the committee on camp and camp ground, had an interview this afternoon with Col. John M. Wilson, commissioner of public buildings and grounds, cn the matter of the Pythian camp. There remains to be done a vast deal of work yet in connection with this committee. Chairman Gardner hag not as yet formed his committee, but it ts under- stood that the present committee Will, to a large extent, be retained, and one or two additions made. It ts the desire of Mr. Gardner to appoint on this committee at least one professional military man who has had practical experience in the laying out of camps. It is not likely that all the details of the plan, as prepared by the Py- thian committee, will be carried out by the citizens. The first step is to learn from the finance committee about how much money can be reised for the encampment. It ts likely that a good-sized cut will be made in the estimate of forty thousand dol- lars, as at this season, and tn these times, money is even harder than usual to Even unde: the most favorable conditions, it cannot be had simply by asking for it. Then the next move of the camp committee will be to find how many men of the Uni- form Rank are coming. and of this number what percentage will remain in camp. As a large percentage of the sir knights will be accompanied by their wives and families, it is not probable that of these a large number will live in camp, The com- mittee intends to practice economy, and does not intend to hire tents which the chances are will not be used. It has been thought that several places in the camp es- timates will be found where the committee may find openings to inflict economte cuts. The contract which the exgeutive committee Knights of Pythias entered into made rev- eral of the knights personally and. indi- vidually responsible for the contract price of the tents. This contract was assumed by the citizens’ committee, and the question as to whether the citizens of that commit- tee are also individually responsible for the contract price is quite a disturbing one. There is considezable work which had been done by the old camp and camp ground committee which will probably be overha:1l- ed or revised by Mr. Gardner. The outcome of the conference between Col. Wilson and Mr. Gardner will be announced probably at the special meeting of the vexecutive com- mittee this afternoon, or in aty case, at the regular meeting of that committee to be held Monday afternoon. It is thought that laa Gardner will then announce his com- mittee. —_—--—_ Sanday School Union.

Some of the Prisoners in the Proces- sion This Morning—Two Youth- fal O@enders Fined. A barrel of lime was rolled into the Police Court building this morning and no one can question its necd to keep down the germs of some angerous summer disease, and pe-- haps prevent sickness among those employ- ed about the building. The judges of the court have given the rratter of disinfection some attention this week, and Health Offi- cer Hammett has provided quantities of dis- infectants calculated to assist in purifying the atmosphere both in the courts and cell room. Sulphur candles have been used sev- eral times during the past ten days, and the result {s that the prisoners, as well as the spectators and witnesses, have not had to endure the sickening atmcsphere of past hot days. It ts also the intention of the judges to have the cells better ventilated, if possible, in order to prevent suffering from the heat as much as possible. There were only eighteen perso cupy the cells this morning, and Hughes had given the little apartments a thorough cleansing and a good dose of dis- infectants, so that the unfortuhates im- agined they were In the back room of an apothecary shop, rather than in the un- bearable holes used as cells several years ago. Judge Kimball was on hand at the usual hour, 9 a.m., and the early morning pro- cession was ready to greet him. Two boys giving their names as Jesse Jones, colored, and John Ingle, white, were in the proces sion because they had attempted to steal a ride on a vailroad train last night. “I gave one of the men three cigars to let us ride as far as Baltimor said the color- ed boy, “but when the train stopped at New Jersey avenue we were arrested,” “Where do you belong?” the judge asked the colored boy “I live in Census alley, ‘And where is that?” ‘Near 3d and G streets, “Where were you going?” *I was on my way to Baltimore.” The little white boy said he lived at 508 Sth street, New York city. ‘ oe rey pond live there? “Yes, sir, dnd he's a carpenter, Judge Kimbali doubted ‘the truth of the boy's story, and said he would write to New York, but this made no change in the boy's statement, and it was only after a Star re- porter had talked to the boy in the cell that he admitted the falsity of his statement. Then he said his name was Joseph Hoff- man and his home is at 471 M street scuth- oo this city, The judge had the boy called back and inquired o: vhy orgie a f him why he Because I thought I would fare better,” his response. % ‘But you were mistaken,” said th judge, ‘you are fined $5 or fifteen days 1 Jones may have five days in default of tine.” Broke the Duor, Charles Florence, a respectably-dressed white man, appeared in the procession. Judge Kimball thought he ought to be sent to states prison, but the man chought his conduct did not warrant such a sentence. He went to the house of a colored man named Dan Barber, in Temperance alley, last evening. His mission there was to see @ colored woman and her child, and wit- Resses said that Florence was the child's father; that he had been living with her, and the man did not deny it. “It's a pretty hard story they tell of you,” was the judge's remark to him. “I don't think it's so hard,” the man said. “Well, I do,” added the judge. « Florence had broken the door of the house during his visit last evening, and this was the cause of his arrest. He and his colored female friend had had in trouble and he made complaint about was his response. James Sewell, a young colored man, ai rested for crap shooting on a lot on South Capitol street, denied the charge. He ad- mitted that he was stretched out on the grass watching the game, but said he did not participate in it. ‘What about this policeman. “I saw him on his knees engaged in the game,” he answered, “and I also saw him put down a cent.” “No, you didn’t,” interrupted the prisoner. “You were uncomfortably near the game,” the judge told him, “and you will have to bay a fine of $10 or go down for thirty days.” A policeman told the court that Mary Williams had been in the habit of loiter- ing about 20th and L streets “rushing the growler” for men. The charge against her was obstructing the sidewalk, and her personal bonds were taken. Mary Payne was the last one in the first procession of prisoners, and Policeman Cof- fin id she used the “awfulest” language he had ever heard. Mary did not have $5, and so she went down for two weeks. the judge asked the Hoed’s Is Good IT CURED SICK HEADACHE AND THAT TIRED FEELING “Hood's Sarsaparilia is a splendid medicine, 1 have been troubled with that tired feeling and Iso loss of appetite.
