TODAY'S RACE AT COWES DECLARED OFF Santo's Mother Appeals to Mme. Carnot. GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS ge ae COWES, Isle of Wight, August 8.—Only the Vigilant appeared on the Jine at gunfire this morning in the race for the Royal Yacht Squadron prize of 100 pounds for all yachts exceeding 4l-rate yachts belonging to any recognized yacht club. As three competitors were necessary for the rice to be sailed, the event was declared off. The Britannia was absent owing to the fact that she has been docked as a result of the damage which she sustained by scraping the shore in the luffing match off Ventor on Monday last, and as A. ‘D. Clarke, owner of the Satanita, had been blackbalied by the Royal Yacht Squadron he refused to sail his yacht. The morning was rainy and gave Cowes a diemal appearance. There were few spec- tators and no notabilities were visible. ‘The club managers naving offered to sus- pend the rule requiring that three yachts should compete, the sailing committee isk- ed Mr. Gould to send ihe Vigilant over the course for half the prize. Mr. Gould de. clined, saying that he did not consider that to be sport. SANTO HAS NO REMORSE. His Heart the Same as When He K111- ed President Carnot.

Shot His Wife, Her Uncle and ‘Then Himself. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. August 8.—Jeal- ovsy caused a sensational triple tragedy in this city this morning. Wm. N. Evans of Frankford, a suburb of this city, shot and killed Louis Hecht, at the latter's home, 1214 Montgomery avenue. He then shot his wife, Eva Evans, through the neck, fatally wounding her, and afterward killed himself with a revolver. Evans, who is said to have been a shift- less sort of a fellow, was employed at Green & Bault’s dye works, Frankford. Because of his worthlessness his wife left him six weeks ago, and went to live with the family of her uncle, Louis Hecht. At 7 o'clock this morning Mrs. Evans was busy preparing breakfast, and her uncle was sitting at a table in the kitchen, drinking a bottle of soda water. Evans, who had been seen hanging about the neighborhood late last right, gained entrance to the rear part of the house. As soon as he entered the kitchen door he began firing at Hecht and his wife. The first shot struck Hecht be- hind the left ear, killing him instantly. Evans then fired another shot at the pros- trate man, after which he turned the re- volver or his wife. The terrified woman started from the house, and as she rushed past her crazed husband he sent a bullet into her neck. The woman dropped to the floor, and as she lay there Evans fired two more shots at her, both of which went wide of the mark. He then -vent to the middle room in the second story, and placing the revolver to his left breast, sent a bullet through his heart. So close had the revolver been held to his treast that his clothing was burning when be was found by a policeman. Mrs. Evans was taken to the hospital, where the physicians say there is but slight hope of her recovery. Hecht and Evans were each twenty-nine years of age, and Mrs. Evans, who, it is said, was a hard- working wcman, is three years younger. Evans had always been insanely jealous of his wife, and had threatened to kill both her and Hecht on several occasions. The latter was afraid of Evans, and always slept with a big base ball bat at the head of his bed, in order to be prepared for a sudden attack. nd Addressed by Rev. Joseph Cook. LONG BEACH, L.

LARNED, Kan., August 6, 1894. There is a saying to the effect that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” The Political parties in Kansas are busy ex- emplifying this saying, and with widely varying reesons. When ihe republicans held thelr state convention in June they declined to incorporate a suffrage plank in the perty platform. The populists held their convention a week or two later, and Miss Anthony, with her Neutenants, Rev. Annette Shaw, Annie Diggs, and a few others, made the same ad- vances toward the populist party that they had to the republican. The populists took them to their hearts—metaphorically speak- ing, ef course—and gave them the best there was in the larder. There was a great deal of opposition among the populist dele- gates at first, and it began to look squally in more senses than one. “A woman scorned” has been raising merry mischief in the inner temple of populism in Kansas, ind Governor Lewelling, Jerry Simpson and @ few other leaders would like to shut them cut from further participation in the feast of party pie. But finally the suffrage plank Was nailed down, and then ensued a scene which beggars description. There was an indiscriminate hugging-and-kissing-congrat- ulatory half hour, before the convention could go on with its work, such as never Was seen ir a political convention before. And there was not a Httle chuckling among the delegates at the neat way in which they had roped in Miss Anthony, one of the strcrgest women supporters of republican doctrine who ever made a speech in Kansas. When the democratte convention met in July it sts) refused to indorse the “woman question. The democratic party of Kansas has always been dead against woman's suffrage, and the nominee for governor, David Overmeyer, will get up earlier to talk longer and loudér against woman's suffrage than anything else on earth, except prohi- biticn. He is a rabid resubmisstonist, The bene of contention in Kansas this fall wilt be the suffrage question, despite the fact that both of the old parties thought they had buried it so deep that {t could not work to the surface. Some of the editors of leading republican papers are ardently in favor of woman's suffrage, and are not able to hide their chagrin that it was not in some Way made an issue in the campaign. Not- withstanding the fact that it is not an issue, they keep harping on the suffrage string. much to the delight of the populists Who use the republican editorials t scourge the party and disgruntle the women who are longing for political bower, The action of the republican convention was a bitter disappoint- ment to the women, for thé republicans have given to the women of Kansas all the political sweets that they have ever had, and they had a right to expect that the kindnesses would be continued. Kansas has been the pioneer jn worhan’s voting, as she has been in so many other directions. Tt was when the sfite wus admitted, In IS61, chat school sufftage ‘was granted to women. In 186 the legislature cave women the right to vote for dtmictpal officers they now stand on fe: absolute equality with men in everythiug btit constitutional officers. Stace then thére Have been numer- ous “female” mayors fhrotighout the state, and a third of the un les have female superiatendents of * public instruction. There are several women who are recorders of deeds, they are om ne rly all the state boards, and there is no ¢lective office to Which women have thus far aspired in the state which they have = Sitatble ta Wout ‘y hay been declared in. The great ery has been that if wor n could only vote in the cities they would do away with the liquor traffic and help to enforce the prohibitory laws. The re- publicans half believed that this would be the case and gave them municipal suffrage, hoping that they would make thefr Pprom- ises good. The only places in the state where the prohibitory law is overridden and utterly ignored are the cities where women can, if they wish, manage things their own wey. They have the power of the ballot absolutely in their own hands, in ‘conjunction, of course, with the male contingent of prohibitionists, and could imprison every tnfringer of the law, if they so cesired, and yet it Is in the country where the women are not a voting factor that the law is enforced. Women's Republican Women's republican clubs have been formed all over the state. There is not a county that has not at least one, and most of them have several. Many of the women belonging to these clubs were also suffra- gists. The clubs are well attended, meet- ing as often as once in two weeks, and the women have studied political economy, par- Mamentary laws, and have had read aloud the speeches of the republican leaders in Congress on the tari and the silver ques- tion, and have set themselves vigorously to work to educate themselves along politi- cal lines. They give political dinners, and when speakers from abroad come to their towns they see that they are properly re- ceived, decorate the place of speaking, and tender a reception afterward. These clubs have been flourishirg for three years or more, and for a long time Mrs. Laura M. Johns was the state president, as well as state president of the Equal Suffrage As- sociation. The aim in the republican clubs was to keep the suffrage question from mixing with the political question. Mrs. Johns and Mrs. Lease had a memorable falling out over this about a year ago. The suffrage convention insisted on being ad- dressed by Mrs. Lease, and she rung in politics in her speech. Mrs. Johns brought her up standing, and there was a very pretty row over it. Mrs. Lease always in- sists that her mouth is not to be muzzled, and she seems to have no conception of the word diplomacy. After this episode a number of populist suffragists withdrew from the organization, When the repub- licans refused to put in a suffrage plank, and the populists took the women in, there was a further split, and a lot of the repub- can women went out of the republican league into the populist party. The feeling that has been stirred up is something terrible. The populists have ar- ranged for their campaign to open all over the state this month, and every man who is sent out is to have a woman speaker to go with him. Mrs, Lease’s Defection, Mrs. Lease has declared for “prohibition and labor,” and against most of the popu- list ticket, headed by the present gover- ror, She has such a streng following that if she does take it into her head to stump the state for prohibition she will roll up for that ticket such a vote as it never had in the palmiest days of St. John’s suprem- acy. That she will not support the populist ticket is positive. 1 Mrs. Lease still claims to be a populist, and attends the conventions for the pur- pose, principally, of showing her power. She is sure to be called gn in determined fashion to speak, and when she speaks she lines the trail with flints for the next speaker to walk over. The populist man- agers detest Mrs. Lease, but they dread her tongue. They have tried to get rid of her, but she doesn’t know the meaning of the word “snub.” She is out with all the other populist leaders among the women, } and taking it altogether the populists are really sorry they had anything to do with the suffrage question eith ‘The republicans will have Mrs. J. Foster to help them in the campaign, and the women’s republican league of the state is preparing to put speakers in the field, but they have to bind themselves to steer clear of the suffrage question, no matter what their ideas on the subject, and if one of the speakers so far forgets herself as to talk suffrage or casts a slight on the re-/ publican party for letting suffrage alone that speaker will speedily be called in and her career in Kansas cut short. It has been rumored that Miss Anthony would be sent into Kansas to make republican speeches. The suggestion nearly disrupted some of the clubs. The republican women | will not have her represent them, and if | she comes she will be under other auspices | than theirs. The same rumor went forth that she was to stump the state for the ) populists. A cyclone at an alliance picnic couldn't have created more consternation. | They positively refused to listen to a “rene- gade republican weman.” The democrats are not troubled by the woman question at all. They never have been, because they have a!wa any ‘claims that the women have made, and have never formed any ailiance with | = ignored | them at all. | | that they CLEANING THE CITY How Garbage is Collected and Dis- posed of Now. GIVEN AWAY [0 FARMERS It's an_JIl Wind That Does Not Blow Good to Somebody. PRIVATE COLLECTIONS Little does a countryman down the river imagine that the rinds of melons raised on his place’ ana ‘sent here for sale will again reach his farm and help fertilize his ground for the next year's crop, but such a thing is not only a possibility, but a strong proba- bility, if the farmer uses garbage as a fer- tilizer. And many of them prefer garbage to more expensive ferttlizers, and, indeed, many of them claim that garbage has no equal. The garbage from this city is all shipped down the river and given to farm- ers now that the Sanitary Company has no reduction plant. In days gone by the con- tractor wae able to sell the garbage to farmers and realize enough frem the sale to pay fcr its transportation, at least, but after the destruction of the incinerating plant the farmers realized that the con- tractor had no us2 for the refvse vegetable matter, and knowing it had to be taken out of the District, they concluded to tak» it and use it to enrich their farm lands, but they were not willing to pay for it, and so now they are reaping the benefits of the destructive fire. The garbage contract calls for its removal from the District, unless, of course, tt is incinerated, and then an extra allowance was made. During the past two or three years, there has been a decided improvement in the manner cf conveying the garbage through the streets, and it is also claimed that the service is bette> than it was a few years ago. Instead of the low, gcose-neck wagons and barrels, there are now in use steel carts nd one large tank wagon. These vehicles are easily handled an y be cleaned without much trouble, as cleaning them is an absolute necessity during the summer months, in order that they may not consti- tute a nuisance. The voice ef the “slop man” is no longer heard, the drivers being required to use tin horns, a sound which has proved an an- noyance to some few late sleepers. Necessary Remo: These wagons meke early morning starts end do not finish their labors until late in the evening, when they are thoroughly washed and put in readiness for the next day's service, Under the specifications of the contract it is provided that “all garbage shall be colleeted and removed from dweil- ings and boarding houses in the cities of ‘Washington ‘and Georgetown and their more densely. populated suburbs three times per week from the first day of April to the first day of November, and twice per week from the first day uf November to the first day of April im each year; and from markets, hotels and other like places daily, or oftener, as necessity may require.” Persons who are neglected by the collec- tors are supposed to send in their complaints to the health officer, and the complaints ure duly recorded. At this particular sea- son of the year the number of complaints always increase; and this ts due, no doubt, to the large increase in the amount of gi rbage to be ronda a wate week, for in- stance, 20) carloads o\ watermelons have reached here from the ‘\uth, and two days after the arrival of the first consignment it became necessary to put on additional wagons, and since the beginning of the Week, according to the statement of the garbage people, five additional teams have been put on the different routes. The com- plaints this week have increased until more than sixty of them have been recorded in a single day. Each of these complaints is supposed to be investigated, and when com- plaint is made, an inspector in the employ of the District, as well as one in the em- ploy of the sanitary company, is pretty ap? to call and ask questions well as to Investigate the premises. There are two sides to every story, so it is said, and certainly theré are two sides to the garbage question. The drivers are colored men, Whose salary Is perhaps enough to keep soul and body together, and not much more, and of course they are sometimes certain to miss a house, while, on the other hand, the fault is with a servant, housekeeper or householder. As an iiuctration of this, In- spector Howe made an investigation of 180 complaints, and found ninety-four without cause, fifteen unlawful receptacles and nineteen doubtful cases. As in courts of justice, the company is given the benefit of the doubtful cases, leaving fifty-two bona fide complaints. Police Regulations. The health officer has full charge of the work of garbage collection, and on account of the amount of trouble in connection therewith it was deemed advisable by the Commissioners to make certain regulations, witch are embodied in the police regula- tlons, as follows: Sec. 1. No person other than the con- tractor or his collectors shall engage in collecting garbage, offal or dead animals within the city limits, unless authorized by the health officer. Sec. 2, Owners or tenants of each house, hotel, restavrant, boarding house, commts- slon house or other place where there may be accumulations cf garbage, shall pro- vide suitable garbage receptacles, Sec. 3. Garbage receptacles must be made of metal, water tight, covered, and of ca- pacity not less than three nor more than ten gallons, and shall be so placed upon the premises as to be accessible to the col- lectors at all hours during daylight. Sec. 4. It is unlawful to put anything but animal and vegetable matter in such gar- bage receptacles. Sec. 5, Collectors are not required to re- move any garbage containing ashes, cans, giass, straw or anything but animal or vegetable matter. . 7. Any person violating any of the provisions of this article shall, on convic- tion thereof in the Police Court, be_pun- ished by a fine of not less than $ nor more than $1 for each and every offense. Minder the regulations garbage receptacles are required to be made of metal, to hold from three to ten gations, and while many householders hav. such vessels there are hundreds and perhaps thousands who — have _ not, nd although unlawful vessels have been found fom time to time no prosecutions have been instituted. Heavy Collections. Collections are made by the garbage con- tractor from about 35,000 houses, so it is estimated and at this season of the year the coliectior amount to from 100 to 125 tons a day, while in the winter season they emount to no more than half this num- ber. Then, too, the contractor is not per- mitted to keep any of the gerbage at the wharf over night, but must haul it away every day. The increase in the garbage caused by the receipt of so many water- melons gives the contractor more than enough for a scow load a day, and all this 1s hauled to peints on the river a short dis- tance below the District line. The garbege service costs the District on an average of about $30,000 a year just now, the contract price being $24,000,” with an extra allowance in hot weatier. ‘This year an effort was made to secure from Con- ress an appropriation of $60,000 for the construction of an incinerating plant, and the Senate acted favorably on the proposi- tion, but the item was killed when it reach- ed the conference committee, and now the contractors will have to dispose of the refuse matter by removify it from the Dis- trict as provided in the contract. Repre- sentatives of the Sanitary Company claim are getting the company in debt while they are thus disposing of the garbage, but as the company is under bond for the faithful performance of con- tract the work cannot be discontinued, ted for Hogs. Company is ably assisted number of country people,chiefly cok te, who collect the swill for their pe | hogs, and some, it is said, feed it to their ccws and other stock. These poor people, with their little teams, gather enough gar- bege te help along their families,for on this they feed hogs, both for the market and | bat was a draw. deeper | | INDEX TO ADVERT!

Not a ow pe Sanitary Company was anxious to the garbage they could and dispose of tt at its plant, a move was made against these poor men, which was calculated at the time to prevent some of them from making their collections. Regulations were made requir- ing water-tight carts, but most of the old en managed to line boxes with tin or other metal and conform to the regulations in a manner that really surprised the per- sors who were responsible for the order. And so the collections go merrily on, the Legs on nearby farms are feasted, while dcewn river farms are laying tons of the refuse at ne cost whatever. It is thought that the health office officials will soon declare © on the citizens who have illegal receptacles and help swell the accket of the Police Court. —_———- - NEW SRIDGES. af BF | he Superintendent.

Sharpshooters of the District National Guard, who have plenned to attend the forthcoming anaual meeting of the New Jersey State Rifle Association at Sea Girt, will meet tomorrow evening to find out all about the preliminary arrangemeuts. The meeting is to be held at the headquarters of the secénd regiment, in the Center Market armory, commencing at § o'clock. lt is essential that every guardsman who intends to be of the Sea Girt detachment should be present, because the necessary order must be issued not later than Satur- day, because Quartermaster Parmenter has to notify the New Jerrey authorities how thuch tentage will be needed, and because Ordnance Officer Vale must know on what to base estimates as to the quantity of ammunition he has to ship. Members of the brigade and regimental teams have been notified to be present without fail, and al- ready a number of individual “shots", have declared their intention of being on’ hand to sign the roll. It is expected that not less than fifty of the best marksmen in the brigade will be in the detachment. ——_—— Coming G. A. R. Encampment. In the matter of the Grand Army encamp- ment to convene at Pittsburg, Pa., in Sep- tember, the assistant adjutant general of the Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., has requested that all officers and comrades of this departmeni who intend visiting the national encampment, and who will desire @ horse for that event, shall file his appitca- tion not later than August 15. The applica- tion should be made to Assistant Quarter- master General Storm. The price per horse will be $4.50, and the rider will furnish the saddle. It is thought that all the comrades of this department who will need horses at Pittsburg will carry their equipments. The Department of the Potomac, it is un- derstood, will present ro candidate for com- mander-in-chief, but will probably suggest the name of Comrade G. M. Husted for membership in the council of administra- tion. It is possible that this department will have candidates for several subordinate po- sitions, but this is only conjecture. It is said that the contest for the office of com- mander-in-chief lies between Judge J. D. Long of Michigan, made famous because of his controversy with the pension office, and the present senior vice commander-in-chief, I. N. Walker. Visit of . Two of the city officials of Detroit, Mich., are now in the city, and before they go home they expect to get some points on how things are done in Washington. Mr. Jacob Guthard, the commissioner of public works, and Churles Krecke, the gas in- epector, are the officials referred to. The latter is especially interested in methods of gas inspection, and intends to look into the system in use im this city. _o For Congress. Tenth Wisconsin district—John J. kins, republican.
