Orposition to Bills Before Congress and Health Office Regulatio: At a meeting of the Eclectic Medical Society of the District last evening a reso- lution was adopted opposing the passage by Congréss of the bills providing for the establishment of a medical board in this District."

Commissioner Stump of the immigration bureau has received a letter from Mr. Austin Corbin of New York, in which he says he has sold to 250 Italian families a large plantation in Chicot county, Ark, opposite Greenville, contprising 4,000 acres of cultivated land, which is sold on long credit at six per cent interest. The colon- ists are expected to arrive during the win- ter. He also states that the Italian government will object to the families coming, except some assurance is given that it will not be in violation of the laws of the United States, and asks for a ruling on the question. Commissioner Stump, in reply, states that the contract under which the coionists are to come to the United States is not such as is contemplated by the exclusion act, inasmuch as they are not under contract to perform labor for another. ee =D Naval Orders.

HURLBUT'S & PELOUBJI'S NOTES ON THE 4a10-8a Defective and Dangerous Gas Fixtures To the Editor of The Evening Star: In a communicaticn in your issue of yes- terday concerning the number of recent deaths in this city from asphyxiation by, gas, due to defective “no-stop” fixtures, it was apparently deplored that the owners of houses in which these defective fixtures are maintained could not be held to legal responsibility for the lives lost. ’ It is not absence of law adequate to the eccasion, and the cure of the evil, from which we suffer. One single, vigorous prosecution for the maintenance of a £23 ~~ fixture “dangerous to health and life,” would cause the immediate replacement of every one of these murderous articles. If the coroner, the health officer, the sanitary police and the prosecuting attorney will consult the laws prescribing their respec- tive duties, and which define their powers, they will see how amply they are armed to remedy this evil. And right here let me call the attention of our “Civic Center Society”—if that is the name—to tnis matter. Although yet in its swaddling clothes this society might properly make its first venture into this field and thereby justify its existence. As to the legal aspects of the case, it is” only necessary to say that the law is well established. Within a few months a citi- zen of this town has recovered a goodly sum as damages for the loss of a son from a hotel proprietor in St. Louis who main- tained one of these no-stop gas fixtures. ONTARIO. ae Bangor'’s Relief Method. To the Editor of The Evening Star: A novel and effective plan for the relict of the suffering poor of Bangor, Me., has been put in operation by the relief commit- tee of that city this winter. Paper bags were distributed among the householders, accompanied by a printed slip, saying: “Please put in this bag any contribution you may wish to make, however emall, and ~ return to ——.” The result was very satis- factory. Many people in moéerate circum- stances had befere refrained from giving because of the smallness of their contribu- tions, but this method opened a way for the mite cf each one to reach the proper channel for the relief of the poor. The paper bags were returned, contain- ing groceries, provisions that were not im- mediately perishable, clothing and money. The small individual gift in the aggregate became a mighty collection of food and clothing for the relief of distress. The plan is a modest one and could easily be put in operation. Would not its adoption be prac- ticable in Washington? M. ee The Snow-Cleaning Law. To the Editor of The Evening Star: E Some weeks ago The Star stated that there was an ordinance compelling people to clean the snow off their sidewalks, whether the premises were occupied or not, and that the police were going to enforce this ordinance, which has heretofore been so signally neglected in this city. I fail to see any improvement in the condition of sidewalks after snow has fallen. The neg- lected corners near my house offer great inducements as “slides” for children with sleds, but are full of peril to the pedestrian. It is a singular fact that the sidewalks of the rich, especially of those with gardens, are so often left uncleaned, whilst those of the poor are amongst the first to Le clear- ed. Is this disgraceful state of things to be allowed to continue, and are we still to jeopardize life and limb? I speak feeling- — ly, having had a severe fall on Connecticut avenue. CITIZEN. —_ The Remedy is in the Police Court. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will you kindly irferm the public, or, rather, a section of the public (for I trust that all the citizens of Washington are not afflicted as we are), whether cr not there isa Lyiaw prohibiting the keeping of barn- yard cocks within the city limits? Such nuisances might be comparatively unob- jectionable if all the citizens could settle down at night from a happy gay of health: ful toil to the dreamless sleep of the weary but in a large city like curs tiere is al- ways, in every square, a certain proportion of sick people. Alas! it is unnecessary to explain what it is to be sick; but let me ask you, is it fair (to put it ‘on no higher grounds) to have an invalid, weak, nervous and exhausted, whose life or death is hang- ing in the balance, and dependent upon an hour's quiet rest, aroused from incipient slumber which might prove bealth-giving, and kept awake from 11 o'clock p.m. iH broad daylight by the infernal screaming of a doen barnyard cocks in the immediate neighborhood? We live on the square bounded by 15th and $, 14th and Corcoran streets. I have for mcnths watched night- ly with an invalid, so ill that sometimes it is difficult to determine whether or not life has fied, and night after night whe balmy ¢ sleep from which we hoped for “refreshing and restoration has been disturbed, and often completely driven away by the “never-ending, still-beginning” —Corbett- Fitzsimmons challenges at long range of these midnight braw.ers. If there is a bylaw relating to this mat- ter, wculd you kindly name the officials to whom appitcation must be made for an abatement of the nuisance? If there fs no law, then certain citizens will be compelled to return to primeval principles of self- protection, and seek deliverance with @ shotgun. DIOGENES. 7 ——s Society of the New Church.
