Ja9-10a CURED WITHOUT THE KNIFE Cancers Sinitariam, 190 ¢ st. nw, jal-im U! CHARLES ALLEN, M.D. SOME BIG COUNTIES. California Has One Larger Than Four Eastern States Put Together. From the Cincinnati! Enquirer. East of the Rocky mountains there are only twelve counties in the United States containing more than 5,000 square miles. Not one of these is in New York state, the largest county of which, St. Lawrence, covers only 2,900 square miles. One of the twelve is Aristook, the forest county of northern Maine. Another is Dade county, Florida, which includes the everglades of Florida along the Atlantic coast, and has an area of 5,600 square miles and a total population of less than 900. Cherry coun- ty, Nebraska, in the extreme northeast of the state, with the Snake river dividing it in half, has an area of 5,663 miles. Three northern counties of Minnesota lying south of Manitoba and west of Lake Superior, Beltrami, Itasca and St. Louis, have re- spectively 5,040, 5,130 and 5,86 square miles. ‘The last county includes the important city of Duluth, but the first has @ population of only 300, and the second only 750. The population of Duluth is 35,000. ‘The two counties of Idaho, Bingham, con- taining the lava fields, and Idaho, south of the Nez Perces’ reservation, contain more than 10,000 square miles each. Two coun- ties in Texas, Pecos and El Paso, have more than 5,000 square miles. Pecos, which is the extreme west of the state, on the Rio Grande, has 6.700. El Paso, ich ad- joins it on the Rio Grande, has 9,750. One county of Colorado, Arapahoe, has an area of 5,220 square miles, but Is still more not- able from the fact that it has a popula- tion of 150,000, including the city of Denver. Routt county, in the same state, has an area of 6,000 square miles. On tne Pacific slope counties, like trees and fruits, are of gigantic size. ‘Six cour‘'es of Oregon, three counties of Washington, seven counties of Nevada and seven counties of California have more than 5,000 square miles. The largest of all in the United States is the county of San Bernardino, to the east of Los Angeles. Its area is 21,000 square iles, nearly half the size of New York state, and 5,000 mes larger than New Jer- sey, Delaware, Connecticut and Ithode Is- land combined. Postmasters Appointed. The total number of fourth-class post- masters appointed today was twenty-seven. Of this number twenty were to fill vacan- cles caused by death and resignations and the remainder by removals. W. H. Wheeler was appointed at Elmington, Nelson coun- , Va. vice R. H. Thornton, resigned. Ferrie E, Waters was appointed at Ger- mantown, Montgomery county, Md., vice I. J.

MINISTERS DISAGREE Dissension in the British Cabinet as to Ireland. JOHN MORLEY OPPOSED BY THE OTHERS Report of the Assassination of Corea’s King. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS LONDON, January 10.—The rumored dis- sensicns in the British cabinet attracted the greatest interest to today’s cabinet council, which met at noon, with all the ministers present. It was said that the first difficulty exist- ing was that regarding Ireland. Sir Will- iam Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, and Mr. John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, are understood to have been of the opinion that the Irish must be satisfied, at all costs, during the coming session of par- liament. With this view, {t is added, the premie Lord Rosebery, and the home secretar Mr, Henry Asquith, and other members of the cabinet do not agree. It is said that the misunderstanding as to the disposal of the surplus for 1805 is much more serious than was at first believed, the main point at issue being the claim raised by some of the cabinet ministers and others that this surplus should be devoted to the use of the navy. e JAPANESE CAPITALISTS DECLINE. Not Care for the Corean Loan. YOKOHAMA, January 10.—Native capi- talists decline to float the proposed Corcan loan. It is rumored here that 1,000 men belong- ing to the first army of Japan, operating in China, have been invalided by the cold weather. 3 General Nodzu telegraphs from Shugan, under date of January 8, that the enemy facing the third division of the Japanese army in the west has retreated on Kokan. ‘The advance guard of the enemy near Liao-Yang has advanced to Kansenho with two pieces of artillery. The rest of the Chinese force is quartered a few miles northeast of Hai-Ching. COREAS’ KING PROSTRATED. They Do A Report Circulated That He Had Been Assassinated. TOKIO, Janvary 10.—A news agency re- ports that the King of Corea has been as- sassinated. YOKOHAMA, January 10.—A rumor fs in circulation here to the effect that the King of Corea has been prostrated by an epllep- ie fit. Murdered by His Brother. CALCUTTA, January 10.—Nizam Ulmulk, Mehtar of Chitral, has been murdered by his younger brother, Amir Ulmulk, who has. declared himself de facto Mehiar of Chit- ral. : Chitral, or Little Cashgar, 1s a country of Asia, consisting of the Keonero valley, on the south slope of the Hindco-Koosh.

CAPETOWN, Janvary 10.—Frank Tarbo, alias Taylor, at one time the leader of the notorious Johnny Irving gang of New York, and Wm. Carrell Woodward have escaped, and are supposed to have gone to Kimberley. BERLIN, January 10.—In the reichstag today the debate on the anti-revolution bill was resumed. Count Von Limburg- Stirum, conservative, declared that his party hailed the bill with satisfaction. The socialists, he added, were not justified in claiming to be the sole labor party. SOUTHAMPTON, January 10.—The Amer- fean line steamship New York, which sails for New York on Saturday next, will take among her passengers Mr. James R. Roose- velt, secretary of the United States em- bassy at Lendon. LONDON, January 10—Gen. Sir John Summerfield Hawkins, Royal Engineers, K. C. M. G., who was commissioned for marking out the boundary between the British and United States territories west of the Recky mountains, from 1858 to 1863, is dead. He was born in 1816. LONDON, January 10.—Judge Thomas Hughes, the author of “Tom brown's School Days,” has joined the Anti-Gam- bling League, and has sent that organiza- tion a check. EDINBURGH, January 10.—The cold weather prevailing is the most severe ex- perienced for many years; 32 degrees of frost have been registered. Loch Lomond is frozen. Dense fogs prevail, and siteam- ers are unable to proceed. — ALTGELD’S MESSAGE. Gov. Opposes Capitnl Punishment and Us- ing Federal Troops Against Strikers. SPRINGFIELD, Il, January 10.—Gov. Altgeld’s message went to the legislature today. The biennial message of Governor Alt- geld to the thirty-ninth general assembly of Illinois is a very lengthy document, nearly twenty thousand words. He doubts the efficacy of capital punishment, favors such a civil service system that will keep out the incompetents and preserve the offices from being spoils. Speaking of the administration of justice in large cities, he says that the condition of business in the courts of Chicago almost amounts to-a denial of justice. The whole system should be revised and simplified at once. The governor also calls attention to the con- ditions surrounding police and justice courts in Chicago, which he declares a dis- grace. The revenue system in this state is declared in its practical workings to be a giant of injustice. Regarding the settling of labor troubles he says: “No practical method of enforcing a de- cree of compulsory arbitration has been fcund, but there is no difficulty in the way of making a compulsory investigation in every case, and this alone would be a great preventative, as well as corrective.” ‘He reiterates his former arguments against the importation of federal troops as tend- ing toward despotism. “Government by injunctions,” is dealt with severely by the governor, who says the usurpation of power on the part of the federal judiciary has assumed a form where it is destroying the very foundation of re- publican government. Regarding anarchy he says: “Our government is not in the slightest danger from the anarchy of a mob. Our danger comes from that corruption, usur- pation, insolence and oppression that go hand in hand with vast concentration of wealth wielded by unscrupulous men, and it behooves every friend of republican in- stitutions to give these things most serious censideration.” ——— ae Safe Burglary in Ohio. MARTIN'S FERRY, Ohio, January 10:— Seven masked men blew open the safe in the Belmont brewery early this morning and secured $200. They seized John Brooney, the night watchman, and took his revolver. “They then gagged him and made him show them the office. One of the robbers guarded Brooney, while the others went to work at the safe. One of the safe doors was blown through the windows. After securing the money they left the watchman bound and gagged, and he was not discovered until morning. ———_— President Caldwell of the Nickel Plate has resigned and will give all his time to the Lake Shore road. 8. R. Callaway will probably succeed hira. Ohio miners have leased the Goslyn and Barber mines, and will operate them. They expect to net only 35 cents a ton. DISTRICT! G@OVERNME! Iron Water Pipe. The Commissioners have given the Met- rofolitan Railroad Company permission to lay an iron water pipe along the line of its tracks in P street sduthwest and in Water street from its power house to the Poto- mac river. Orderéd’ Rémoved. The Commissioners ykave ordered the building inspector to require the removal of a frame house and shed in 20th street southeast between A and B streets. A Big Contract. The Commissioners are about to award a large sewer contract involving an expendi- ture of nearly $69,000. "It is for the con- struction of a sewer in the Rock Creek val- ley and near Woodley road to Piney branch. The contract will probably be awarded to James McCandilish, at $55,910.40. James F. Kenredy was the lowest bidder for this work, but in view of the fact that he has no plant and has not done any work of this character for some time, Capt. Beach has recommended that the contract be given to James McCandiish. Water Supply. A letter was received by the Commis- sioners yesterday from Col.Elliot, in charge of the Washington aqueduct, in which he stated that during the recent cold weather the supply of water in the distributing res- ervoir was lower than it ever had been known, except when the water was design- edly drawn off. In view of the fact that another cold wave is reported as approach- ing, the Commissioners ure desirous of hav- ing the situation made known to the pub- le and desire to bring to its attention the importance of avoiding all waste of water in order that the presstre might not be un- duly and unnecessarily lessened. Orders for Worl The commissioners have ordered: The provisional schedule of sewers to be constructed during the fiscal year 1896, provided Congress appropriates funds suffi- cient, or under the permit system upon receipt of the usual deposit: In 31th street between Q 2nd !i streets and in Qstreet be- tween #ith aud och streets northwest, in K_ street en Conal and L streets southwest That braska avenue from Wisconsin avenue. to Loughbcro road he repaired so as to make it passable; estimated cost, $900; payable from appropriations for re- pairs to county roads. That a sewer be constructed in O street between 38d and 34th streets northwest to serve lot 15, square 73, under the pro- visions of the permit system. Necessary. to Health, The heaith officer has certified to the Commissioners that the paving of the alley in square 750 is necessary to*public health. He has also certified that the alley in square $14 should be paved, as it is neces- sary to public health. Paving an Alley. Public Printer Benedict has requested the co-operation of the Commissioners to secure an appropriaticn for the repaving and grad- ing of Jackson alley adjoining the printing office on the south. He says: “The condition of the alley is such that every interest of a convenient public service aud the com{ort and health of my employes warrant such an < re at the earliest possible moment for the grievances to which we have heretofore called your attention.” Muddy; Street. Mrs, William A. King: ef No, 37 M street northwest has. written to the Commisston- ers, calling attention té the condition of the sidewalk approachitig and in front of her premises. Sh@ says jthat the residents of that neighborhood are compelled to plough through -every. time it rains or snows, the mud ibeing from one to four irches deep on the walk. The mud, she says, washes down from the embankment of the Bates estate, aud ‘the owners shouid be compelled to move the'bank further back cr put a fence up’which will hold back the mud. c For Repert. Chairman Heard has submitted House bill $493, to amenfi the charter of the Met- ropolitan Railroad Company of the District of Columbia, to the Worimissioners for ex- amination and report: cs é A New Fender. The Commissioners today gave a hearing to Mr. Willfam ‘Howird of 928 T street rorthwest, who presented a new street car fender device for saving life. The device acts automatically when the moving car meets with an obstacle in its path. The mechanism of the fender provides for a yielding impact,which prevents bodily harm from contect with the moving car, and also prctects the fender itself from injury upon striking a heavy obstacle. Miscellaneous, An employe of the bureau of engraving and printing, in a letter to theeCommis- stoners, says that in making the new regu- lations to enforce the running of cars on the Anacostia Hre he would suggest that the company be made to run its last car at night as late as 12 o'clock, a8’a large force of clerks, who work at the bureau at night, find, when they reach 3d street, that the Anacostia cars have all gone, and they have to walk across the Anacostia bridge. ——— RIGHT OF WAY. Funcrals Must Not Obstruct Passage of Street Cars. Judge Kimball favors rapid transit, and he says that the law giving street cars the right of way on their own tracks is to be enforced. The question came up in court this morning in a cese against Thomas A. Costello of the firm of Coilins & Costello, undertakers, for an alleged violation of the law, it being charged that while im charge cf a funeral procession the cars on the Columbia railroad were delayed 1if- teen minutes between North Capitol street and the eastern terminus of the road. This particular obstruction is charged to have occurred only a few days ago when a funeral moved along the tracks of the road on its way to Mount Olivet. There were a band of music and a soldier com- pany also turned out. Because of the snow on the street and the bad condition of the thoroughfare on account of the laying of the cable track the procession moved over the newly paved part of the street between the tracks. The men in charge of the car be- hind the procession made no effort to have the carriages get off the tracks, nor were the drivers or any one in charge of the funeral asked to rid ihe track of the obstruction. Judge Kimball under which the pi as follows: “Street cars within the District of Co- lumbia shall have the right of way upon their respective tracks, 2nd no person shall obstruct or delay the movements thereof at a lawful rate of speed, herein- after provided, except tne authorized offt- ciais of the District ofsColumbia in the discharge of pubMo duty, unless otherwise provided.” Commenting on the law, Judge Kimball said that ample provision is made for funerals, and there is.nt’ reason why they should interfere with the movements of street cars. Funerals crossing car tracks and street crossings have the right of way, and vehicles are ‘hot permitted to pass through them. But when funerals and street cars are going the same direc- tion the cars have the fight of way and are not to be obstructed in any manner, except as provided by latw. H street northeast befig the only paved street in that section north of Maryland avenue and being the direct route to sev- eral cemeteries tthe funeral processions naturally go that, way. ,This was explain- ed te the court, and the street car men said that only a few days ago another funeral followed the track from’9th street north- west to 15th street east, and caused a serious delay to the ears. Undertaker Costello sald that on the“oc- casion charged he only had charge of the hearse and three carriages, and he had no control over the movements of the soldiers and band, nor over the fifteen car- riages furnished by private parties. On the other occasion mentioned he said there were 102 carriages from Georgetown and he did not have control over them. Judge Kimball told the ugdertaker that hereafter he had better not let the funerals interfere with the rights of the street cars, but in this case he could not hold him, for the reason that he.did not have charge of the carriages. If the undertaker had had charge of the carriages Judge Kimball said he would certainly have imposed a fine. d the section of law secution was brought, > Timothy Healy denied that he intends to found a third Irish party or to oppose the re-election of Mr. Justin McCarthy or other nationalists leaders. PNEUMATIC MESSAGES. Letters and Telegrams Sent All Over a Great City Underground. Rapid Transit Between the Paris Bourse and the Central Telegraph Office—Successful and Cheap. Thera can he no doubt that before many years all of the great cities in this coun- try will be provided with systems for con- veying messages and telegrams by means of pneumatic tubes underground. Already quite a number of the centers of population in Eurcpe enjoy the advantages of this improvement, which has been brought to the highest degree of perfection in Paris. In that city compressed air, distributed from central stations, is supplied for mo- tive power to factories, for the generation of electricity, for tha ventilation of large buildings, for cperating elevators und clocks in public and private buildings, etc. It is also employed for pumping water and refrigerating and cleaning. Its us¢ as a motive power for street car lines is ex- tending rapidly. z Letters by Pneumatic Tubes. In Paris the pneumatic tube system af- fords a cheap, speedy and always reliable method of postal communication. It is employed not only for the purpose of send- ing messages originating in the city, but also for the distribution to substations, In all parts of the capital, of telegrams from the provinces and from abread. Less than an hour is required ordinarily for the transmission of a message within the city limits—that is to say, from the time of mailing to its final delivery at the house addressed. This system is so successful and so well adapted to the 1.eeds of the people that the use of the electric tele- graph in Paris itself is comparatively small. The pneumatic telegram has many ad- vantages cver the wire. There can be no such thing as a block caused by rush of business. The operator takes all the mes- sages at the same time, and places them in a bcx, which ts at once dispatched to the substation in the proper quarter of the city. No errors in transmission occur. The message travels at the rate of about forty miles an hour. The written cards or tele- grams are inclosed in cylindrical boxes of sheet iron, with envelopes of leather, and these are fastened together in “trains” be- fore they are started on a journey. They travel through pipes underground, which pass along the galleries of the sewers wherever that is practicable. - There used to be a great deal of trouble, previous to the construction of the present pneumatic system, in transmitting tele- grams rapidly enough between the central telegraph office at Paris and the bourse or stock exchange. An effort was made to overcome this difficulty by means of couri- ers, who made trips every fifteen- minutes between the great market and the central office. These couricrs conveyed the latest quotations from the bourse to the central station, whence they were disseminated far and wide by telegraph. Returning, they carried to the bourse messages sent to Paris by wire from the provinces and from abroad. .This was only a temporary ex- pedient, and it was soon supplanted by a subterranean conduit from the bourse to the central office, a distance of 765 yards. This was the beginning of the pneumatic telegraphs of Paris, which now form a net- work cemmunicating with every part of the capital. Today the aggregate length of these lines is 156 miles. The Tubes and Boxes. There are 105 postal bureaus or branch post offices in Paris, all of which are equip- ped with pneumatic tubes. The total cost up to date has been about $1,544,000. The lines run through soldered iron tubes, the sections being connected by joints and bolts. The interior diameter of the tubes is from two and a half to three inches. They are sunk in the earth at an average depth of about three feet. The boxes form- ing the train contain about thirty-five mes- sages each. The leather coverings ordi- narily wear out after they have traveled 1,200 miles, when, of course, they are re- newed. At the beginning the water works of the city of Paris were used to furnish power for compressing the air, but steam pewer has been substituted and is now em- ployed exclusively. Electricity and Compressed Air. A project has been formulated, and is now under study by the French govern- ment, for the substitution of electricity for compressed air as a motive power. This project, which would involve an enormous outlay, contemplates the construction of a system of small-gauge railways, fald un- derground in tubes, to be operated by elec- tricity. It is improbable that this project will be adopted in the near future, if at all. ‘The present system is operated very suc- cessfully, and with great economy. There fs much difference of opinion among engi- neers as to whether better results would be obtained from tubular electric railways, while there is a strong and growing opposi- tion to the indefinite multiplication of un- derground electric. currents. ‘The Department of State will soon pub- lish quite an elaborate report on this sub- fect, in che course of which it is mentioned that the expense of pneumatic telegrams is very much less than that of electric tele- grams in the United States. The length of the message is only limited by the space of the cards sold for the purpose. A sealed telegram, which will contain quite a long communication, costs only 10 cents. It is not exposed to the danger of mistake in transmission or to public scrutiny, and, as a general rule, reaches its destination al- most as quickly as an electrical telegram. _—_____—_+e+—___—_ THEY AMEND THE BILL. Commissioners ¢Change a Proposed Railroad Concession. The Commissioners have returned to Con- gress, with several amendments, House hill 2361, to amend the act to incorporate the Maryland and Washington Railway Ccmpany. The amendments made by the Commissioners are important. In the first place, they desire to have supervision of the building of the road, together with the location of stations and tracks. Then they stipuiate that the railroad if it uses elec- tricity as a motive power shall make pro- vision for preventing the escape of elec- tricity, which experience has demonstrated causes great damage to metal pipes. A new clause is also recommended, giving the Commissioners power to require the location ef passenger houses to accom- mcdate passengers. Lastly, they think 60 feet would be sufficient land for the road to use on Rhode Island avenue extended. With these amendments they approve the bill. Some Small Fires, ‘An alarm of fire was sounded at noon to- day from box No. 142, for fire in the frame dwelling No. 2 Foundry court, between 13th and 14th, F and G streets northwest. ‘the first alarm engines and truck respond- ed, but before their arrival the flames had been extinguished. The loss was trifling. ‘That section of the department which re- sponded to this alarm, while on station, re- ceived a report that box No. 147 had sounded. ‘The engines and truck then moved to 15th and I streets. The report was not true. At the same instant that the engines moyed from the Foundry court fire box 127, “tne Jonah box,” at 7th and I, was pulled. Companies Nos. 3 and 4 re- sponded. This fire was in the establish- ment of R. Nathanson,818 7th street north- west. A quantity of fancy goods caught from a gas jet, but were extinguished be- fore any material damage had been done. See Z Capt. Garlington’s Promotion. It 1s said at the War Department that Ane selection of Capt. Ernest A. Garling- ton for the vacancy in the list of majors in the inspector general's department was made because of his good record, coupled with the fact that he had never made an application for promotion. Major Garling- ton is a native of South Carolina, but entered the Military Academy from Georgia. ‘That was in the year 1872. Since his graduation, four years later, he has seen-considerable active service against the Indians, and in 1883 he commanded the first expedition sent to the relief of the Greely party in the arctic. His manage- ment of that unsuccessful expedition has been severely criticised, Since 1834 he has been on scouting service on the frontier.- He received a medal of honor for dis- tinguished gallantry at the engagement with the Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek in December, 1890, where he was badly wounded.

THE AUDITING COMMITTEE REPORTS EXCEL« LENT CONDITION OF FINANCES. —- WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 28, 1894. To the Board of Directors of the Washington Na- tional Building and Loan Association, Wash+ ington, D. C. Gentiemen: Your committee appointed to make an investigation of the accounts and operations of the Washington National Building and Loan Asso- ciation beg leave to submit the following report: It has been our purpose to examine carefully concerning the erseutial features of a building tation, to wit: rst. How much has been paid into the Loan Fund, and whether the same is intact; Second, Astertain’ Expense Fund receipts, ace count for same, and whether judiciously expended; Third. Investigate the plan of making loans and whether securities are sudicient. It is the unanimous opinion of your committee that a most excellent system is practiced in plac ing loans, and that the greatest care is used to protect the shareholders from any possible loss in this important direction. ‘This is strongly evi- denced by the fact that in making the loans the association has securcd first mortgages upon im- proved real estate, which would bring under a forced sale at least 50 per cent over and above the full amount loaned in nearly every case. When it is remembered that each month the margin on all loans Smproves because the same are being regu- larly repaid in-monthly installments, there can be no doubt as to the absolute security of the Loam Fund. We made @ personal examination of every mort- e, deed of trust (together with the bond and iasurance policy in each case), and found the Loan Fund intact and well invested; the securities men- tioned being on deposit with the Washington Loan and Trust Company of this city, as trustee (a financial institution having a paid-in capital of $1,000,099). Urder the by-laws these securitfes cannot be hypothecated nor used, under any circumstances, as collateral. We find that the association has received since the date of its organization in March, 1893, the large amount of $ and that we have been er of this cum to eliber cash and securities on* band, withdrawals paid to members (which Istter have been promptly paid on demand), cash dividends on paid-up stock or the legitimate expense of establishing, main- taining and conducting the business. The Expense Fund tas not only been accounted for and judiciously expended, but am economical Policy has permitted the company to transfer from this fund to the Loan Fgnd as a profit to the share- holders the handsome sum of over six thousand dollars. i This is considered 2s an unusually good showing for the first eighteen months’ businéss of a ma- tional building and loau association. Before «oncluding our report, we take pleasure in stating our satisfaction with the excellent system of accounting, the ability aad intezrity of the management and the general conduct of the af- fairs of the association.

It is an actual fact that the immense sleeves worn by the ladies have had the effect of limiting the number entertained at social dinners and luncheons. One lady recently decided to give @ luncheon “and en- tertain twelve of her. friends. Ste has a large round table and was going to have beautiful decorations. When the butler cume to arrange for the guests he declared that only ten could be seated at the table. The hostess insisted that there was no one she could leave out, and she had eftter- tained twelve at the same table last year. “Well,” said the butler, “are they going to wear big sleeves?” ‘The hostess was forced to admit that they, WSrthen I assure you, madame, this tablé will only seat ten if they wear big sleeves.” So two ladies had to be left out to make room for the big sleeves.
