We have in our midst a slight epidemic of one »f the most loathsome diseases, and one of the’most contagious and infectious diseases, of which human nature is heir. Most hap- plly for us there are several sanitary condi- tions in which we can place ourselves, and, with the addition of vaccination, can say to smallpox, “Be thou removed from our midst,” which will be so far true that only @ small proportion of our citizens will suf- fer from the disease. The first condition is for every one) to undergo the slight expertse within five years (and it would be safer still for every one to undergo the slight expense and inconvenience, and resort to the opera- tion at once. As pseudo vesicles form,which do not indicate that the virus has taken, 11 is safer for a physician to give it attention to make sure of a true inoculation. Statis- tics are so overwhelmingly corroborative of the benefits for vaccination in reducing the death rate that to give them here would hardly be necessary. The second condition for self-protection from this disease is to do nothing that will lower the vitality of our systems, by stimulating ourselves in any way, for there is always afterward a cor- responding depression that may make us more lial Also regular hours for eating and sleeping should be observed, thus pre- venting a low tone of our organization. Another condition is to keep our premises perfectly clean, and by a free use of disin- fectants to let no foul odors poison the blood. If these suggestions could be gen- erally carried out, our city would have no cause for fear of a serious epidemic of smallpox. ar. a Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Wm.

How Workers at ity Post Office Move Around, A Comparison With a Big New York Private Enterprise—Work on the Wall. On the stage there is a pleasant fiction managed by means of a few supernumer- aries, who travel around and around the wings with lances and guns in their hands, and so give the appearance of a vast army of soldiers. It is a delightful example of the conservation of energy. A very few men are thus made to make a great ap- Pearance. So it is with the force on the city pest office building. The citizens who pass that soporific pile in the early hours of the day were astounded this morning to see stone masons at work on that famous northeast corner, which has been ready for these artisans for lo! so many days. This was good tidings indeed, for it indi- cated that at last the Grim Determination and the Burst of Energy had begun to “take,” as they say now during these days of vaccination. But this was not as great @ departure from the order of things as might have appeared on the surface. The men who appeared on the ramparts were two members of the same gang that has been at work for some days past on the central arch of the main entrance, The “supe” act had been cleverly done. It was just this way: The three rims or courses of the great arch had been finished, and before another of the arches could be begun the wooden center had to be set. This might take a day, and meanwhile the whole of the great force of four masons could not be utilized. So the force was divided into two parts, and one-half of the men were given orders to start the long-neglected northeast corner. The un- wonted spectacle of men actually working on the walls themselves drew quite a crowd of would-be employes to the main gate, and there was considerable excitement for a while. But just as, on the stage, the au- dience at last begins to recognize the per- sistently reappearing supers, so in the pres- ent instance the applicants at the entrance remembered the features of the masons and entertained them for some time with familiar calls, which rang above the shrill whistles of the engine starters. The plans thus having been changed some- what it may be that the brick work will begin on the east wall tomorrow, and in anticipation of this a large quantity of bricks have been hoisted to the scaffold. ‘omparagements are odorou: said Mrs. Malaprop. “They are, in this present in- stance, most especially, as they inevitably result in the diminished fame of the local enterprise. A number of them have al- ready been given to demenstrate the lack of business methods at the site, but the latest one that has come to the notice of The Star js, perhaps, better than all that have rreceded it. A contract has just been en- tered into in New York city for the con- struction of what will be the largest com- mercial building in the world. This build- ing is to be erected on the site of the old New York Hotel, bounded by Broadway and Mercer street, Waverly and East Washing- ton places, containing a little over thirty thousand square feet. It is to be twelve stories above ground and two below ground, making fourteen in all, and will cost about $2,000,000. It will be more diffleult of ccn- struction than an ordinary building, from the fact that it will be practically four buildings in one, each of the four buildings having thick inclosing walls instead of thin partitions. The materials will be brick and stone, and the plans contemplate a most complete finish. ‘The architect has been given carte bianche as to the design, with the single condition that he shail complete the building, ready for occupancy, by the 1st of October, 1895, a little more than eleven months hence. The ground is today partly cleared and surrounded by a higb board fence. By the time it is occupied by this magnificent creation, which, as has been said, wiil probably be the largest commer- cial structure in the werld, the local post office building will scarcely be above the third of its eight stories, although it will then have been under way for over three years end a half. No wonder that compari- sons are “odorous.” There are today, notwithstanding the ap- parent increase of force, only fifty-six men at work, the same number as yesterday, still keeping the possibility of compietion, according ~ a Star’s munificent estimate, at April i, 1897. —_—> — The Japanese Sand Pictures. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In an article of last Saturday’s Star, re- lating to the National Museum, the follow- ing paragraph appeared: “Ethnologists are excited over some news from Japan brought by Mr. Romyn Hitch- cock. He has made the first recorded obser- vations in that country of the practice of a peculiar art, which is likewise known to certain North American Indians, namely, the painting of pictures with sand. The discovery seems to throw some light upon the supposed Asiatic origin of the aborig- ines of this continent.” If the ethnologists are “excited” over the news brought by Mr. Hitchcock from Japan, as your report would lead us to be- lieve, I beg to say there is really no need for it. The art of painting in sand has not only been known and practiced by the Japanese from time immemorial, but nearly all travelers in that country since the tume of the English sailor Will Adams (1607) have made mention of the fact in their descriptions of Japan and her people. Willow street, Tokio, as well as Moto Machi, Yokohama, is often crowded with these outdoor artists, and today you may find full accounts of them given in Gonze’s La Art Japonois and Sir Edwin Arnold's Japonica, pages 66 and 67. The Chino-Japanese war has made Ameri- cans more interested in “the land of the rising sun” than they have been hitherto. We hope this interest will continue, if for nothing else than to lead the average eth- nologist to study more regarding the cus- toms a country of which he often knows less about than he does of the South Sea Islands. T. KOMACHI. ———_ Death of Miss Wallach. Miss Ellen Wallach, aged ninety-four years, died Sunday at the Home for In- curables. She retired to that institution, as @ boarder, about four years ago. Miss Wal- lach was born in Boston. Her father wi Moses Wallach, a native of Prussia, and her mother a Miss Mary Robbins, who be- longed to one of the oldest New England families. Ip early life she mingled in the first society of Washington. She was in Washington during the war. An enthusias- tic sympathizer of the southern cause, she furnished many of the southern soldiers with money and clothing. After the war she came to this city, where she had since resided. While. in Washington her home was with her brother, the late Richard Wal- lach. She was a beautiful woman, and her eyesight was remarkably well preserved. She never wore glasses. She was attended im her last illness by her niece, Mrs. Judge T. M. Arrington of Montgomery, Ala. The remains were interred in the Congressional cemetery. eee The Charitable Warned. A colored man who has lost the powers of speech and hearing is practicing a fraud on the charitable people of this city. Dr. W. W. Johnson sends word to ‘The Star that this man, who may be deaf and dumb, as pe claims, is going from house to house with a letter, purporting to be signed by Dr. John- son, asking citizens to aid the bearer. The letter was written on a typewriting machine. Dr. Johnson authorizes The Star to state that he has signed no such appeal for chari- ty, and the letter must be regarded as a forgery. —— Johnston's 25e. flour coupon.

Pg. 8.* he re- cepticn accorded “Miss Dynamite” at Al- baugh’s last night was of a character to gladden author, actor and manager. The @ppearance of Marie Jansen is always to be depended upon as an enjoyable occa- sion, and in addition to the attraction which her performance as a star afforded was the pleasure of welcoming Frederick Bond, whose popularity in this city is as excep- tional as it is merited. Miss Jansen as- sumes the role of a fun-loving young wo- man, who is precipitated by circumstances into some rather risque adventures, and whose determination to marry an impov- erished painter, whether her uncle ap- proves or not, forms the motive of an in- genious though not cumbrously elaborate plot. The dialogue is witty, presenting a succession of good things, some of the sort which irresistibly provokes to laughter, others which constitute little more than a genial appeal to the quick perceptions of the auditer. It is unnecessary to say that Mr. Bond made all there was of the role which fell to his share, that of a frisk- some uncle, who, in punishment for trying to deceive his niece.and her lover into a belief that they have forsaken each other, is caught in a variety of embarrassing pec- cadilloes, and delicately but thoroughly blackmailed at the finale of the play into doing just what the young people want, after the accepted manner of comedy. From the first Miss Jansen, with her droll way of saying things, her quaint little stride and the prestige of other successes, cast- ing its fascinations about her, pleased the audience last night immensely. From the beginning it was evident that Frederick Bond was in the hands of his friends. His reception at his first appearance amounted almost to an ovation. The other members of the company without exception give efti- client interpretations of the various roles and the piece goes with a smoothness and sparkle that keep the audience unremit- tingly good natured, and often hilariously amused. Miss Hope Ross and Mr. William Norris had some very pretty scenes to- gether, and Soldene Powell portrayed the decadent nobleman very effectively and entertainingly. One of the gratifying ele- ments of the occasion was an evident dis- position among the ladies of the audience to make the theater hat less conspicuous and annoying than usual. National Theater—“A Trip to China Town” is an old friend, but the public does not appear to find its attractions dimin- ishing upon acquaintance. It was cor- dially received at the National Theater last night, and the company did not permit the mirth and enthusiasm which gave it so much of its original charm to fall below par at any point in tie proceedings. The play has been here often before, and last night's reception indicates that it will often be here in the future, for Hoyt’s farces, light and unsubstantial as they seem, stand the test of time marvelously well. The widow, jolly and attractive as always, is impersonated by Geraldine McCann, Harry Connor is the hypochondriac, with novel methods of making himself miserable, and Harry Gilfoil gives the remarkably melodi- ous whistling entertainment, which has come to be regarded almost as one of the inseparable features of the play. Academy of Music.—Young Emmet has stepped into the place in the affections of the public that was occupied by his father, and last night this fact was demon- strated by the large audience that sssem- bled at the Academy of Music to witness his performance of “Fritz in a Madhous While his voice is not quite so sweet as the original Emmet’s, it is very effective, and he handles it well, as was evidenced by the great applause that greeted his latest song, “Laughing Jack.” All. his songs were in fact splendidly received, and most of them had to be repeated. Mr. Em- met’s company ts a good one. Miss Em'ly Lytton was graceful and effective. Mr. Hudson Liston made an excellent Uncle Joe Parker; Mr. Theo, Devere was natural as the villain; Miss Laura Myrtle gave a good impersonation of the insane girl, and Mr. Hugh Hilton was funny as the butler. Instead of the big St. Bernard that his father used to introduce young Emmet presents a pet bull dog that is ugly enough to be hundsome. The piece was well staged and the performance was altogether suc- cessful. Bijou Theater.—A large and friendly au- dience saw “Aunt Bridget” and her clever company of fun makers at the Bijou last night. George W. Monroe's humor kept his auditors continuously amused. The spe- clalties introduced are varied and so well dene as to merit the applause which was so freely bestowed. Liska, the child pre- miere danseuse, is a graceful dancer, and does some pretty posing and pirouetting. Miss Nellie Bland’s song and dance, “Cupid,” was exceedingly clever and elicit- ed repeated encores. Eddie Magee’s “Bowery Pearl” was an instant success. Miss Ella Falka’s “Venetian Lullaby” and Linsay Morrison's song were gems. But the big hit of the evening was made by “Little” Alice Hanson and her singing and dancing pickaninnies. Round after round of approval greeted them, and they respond- ed to a curtain call. The Choral Society Concert.—Represent- ing a later period of musical progress than Handel's oratorios, “St. Paul” appeals more strongly to modern ideas of effect, and to the popular senses of today. Mendelssohn composed “St. Paul’ in 1836, and it was produced first at the Lower Rhine festival of that year, at Dusseldorf, Germany,under his own baton. The English version was almost immediately prepared, and it was introduced to the English-speaking people in the fall of the same year, in a perform- ance at Liverpool. Mendelssohn personal- 4y conducted numerous performances of the werk during his lifetime, and so generally was it regarded as his musically best sa- cred work at the time of his death (though “Elijah” had been composed and produced the year before) that two choruses from it were sung at his funeral services. Seats for the Choral Society's performance of this work, Wednesday evening, November 7, at Convention Music Hall, have been placed at 59) and 75 cents and $1, and are now on sale at Droop & Sons’, 025 Pennsylvania avenue.

To the Editor of Whe%vening Star: In regard to ‘thertheater hat subject, to the weak and ‘around the bush” way in which the mem express themselves, why don’t they come tosthe front and say, “We won't endure it any Icnger.” Now, I gen- erally take in mbowt three shows a week, and find it the same way in all the theaters except the Lyceum; one can really see here. Last. Thursday nigh: I went to the Acad- emy,'and about ten “ladies” had their hats off. I took particular notice of this, and as I did not know them I simply “looked” how grateful I felt, and I know their kind act was appreciated by many others. I sat in the highest seat in the rear of the bal- cony, and managed.to see part of the show. Friday I went to the National, and had a very nice seat, as I suppcsed, but it was not for long. A young man came in with his girl and sat in the first row, quickly fol lowed by two ladies, who occupied seats in front of me also. Well, I managed to ob- tain a short view of some of the people on the stage by dodging my head from side to side and by holding myself up on the seat in front of me until I was tired; then I sat down for a rest, after which to again re- peat the performance. I was not the only one, however, who suffered in my immedi- ate locality.’A young man occupied the seat next to mine, and sometimes our heads were so close together that if one of us had been a young lady it would have been whispered through the audience that we must be engaged, In this instance all the back seats were occupied, and I could not resort to them for a view of the stage, as I did at the Academy. To ‘‘A.’s” article in The Star of the 26th, I will say that I am innccent of “walking over every lady between acts,” as I always get a seat on the side of the aisle, so I can hang my head out into it and see some of the show. Good brethren, do not sign yourselves “C. J. M.” and “J.,” ete. Put your full name (and middle initial) to your articles concerning this all important subject, and if notning is done we will form a club and engage all the boxes, so we can find out what is going on upon the stage, and let the “ladies” sit in the other seats, as they can see through hats without difficulty, and we poor men can't. If we don’t get the boxes we will hereafter go way up in the peanut gallery and eat peanuts for spite, and look down at—not through—the pretty hats. If our t Absolutely Pure.
