CLIMATE AND HEALTH A New Publication Just Issued by the National Weather Bureau. Endeavoring to Establish Scientific Relations Between the Meteorologi- eal Conditions nnd Sickness. There has just been issued, under the direction of Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, the first number of a new official periodical that will henceforth be one of the features of the literary work turned out by the government every month. It is called “Climate and Health,” and ts edited by W. F. R. Phillips, M. D., of this city. Its purpose is to establish a scientific connection between the mortality and meteorological statistics, so as to make ac- curate ratios between the weather and the health of the ration. It is the outgrowth of a letter sent im December, 1893, by the Secretary of Agriculture, J. Sterling® Mor- ton, to the then chief of the weather bu- reau, in which he expressed the hope that certain work done in Cornwall, England, in this direction, mght be duplicated and am- plified here. Communication was had at ence with prominent sanitarians and physi- cians throughout the country, inviting them to express their views as to the feasibility of-the project, and the consensus of op:nion was decidedly favorable. Accord:ngly a c'r- cular issued by the bureau in January last anneunced the decision to inaugurate the pubiicat!on of a monthly magazine devoted to such matters, and preparations were made to const mmate the effort. The First Issue. The first issue is devoted to the statistics for the month of July, and is now ready for distribution. It consists of mortality and morb'dity tables from ninety-nine cities lo- cated in every section of the country, coupled with the meteorological conditions existing there during the four weeks cov- ered by the reports. Five charts are also given. The first shows the average baro- metric departures from tfe normal, the ab- solute pressure ranges, the prevailing winds for the weck, and the normal wind d:rec- tions. The second chart indicates the mean temperature of the week, the mean wet- bulb, or sensible temperature; the mean de- parture from the normal, ond the difference between the asmospheric and wet-bulb mean temperatures. Chart No. 3 shows the average daily departure of precipitation of moisture from the normal, and the average and absolute relative hum‘ditles. The fourth ehart gives the highest and lowest tem- peratures of the week, and the fifth chart shows the total mortality by states, with a diagram, presenting the average climato- logical conditions. In explanation of these charts and tables there are two pages de- voted to a complete list of definitions and references, giving the reader a clear under- standing of the entire work. Editor's Preface. - In the preface the editor states that this first number is wholly experimental in the scrt of information wFich it contains and in the manner and plan in which the various stetistics are publisktd. It is said also that the data as to mortality and morbidity (sick- ress) are incomplete, and can only be made more perfect and satisfactcry by hearty co- operation by every coilector of statistics in the country. “Statistics of mortality,” the editor contin- ues, “though easier to obtain than those of morbidity, are not so well adapted as the latter to show etiologic connections between sickness and weather changes nd condi- tions. It is very evident that a disease may terminate fatally, and most probably does so terminate, under decidedly different me- teorologic ccnditions from those prevalent at its inception. If the discovery should be made that deaths from any given cause may be expected to occur more frequently during the manifestation of certain atmospheric phenomena, it would probably be of con- sderable value to the physician in the treat- ment of the disease, but it is doubtful if this fort ef knowledge could be of service in the prevention of the disease. On the other hand, if the prevalence of a given atmos- pheric condition should be found to be coil cident with the greater or less frequen: of a certain disease, the knowledge will be useful to both the physician and the general public in indicating an insisterce upon the observance of more or less stringent pre- ventive measures. Prevention and. Care. “Prevention is assuming in the medical thought of today a value co-ordinate with, if not greater than, that of therapeutics, and attempts, even though they’ appear but feeble efforts, tending to add something to our knowledge of the etiology and pre- vention of disease may expect -to-receive considerate attention. Therefore, it is Roped that the medical profession will ex- tend to this endeavor of the weather bureau, to be of service to it in particular, and to mankind in general, a cordial co- operation, till time may show either the value of continuing the endeavor, or the advisability of abandoning it. “The statutory organization of the weath- er bureau confines its work to climate and meteorology, and it can employ its ac- tivity in other fields only in so far as they | are directly related to, or affected by, these sciences. Therefore, it must not ex: pected, nor ts it contemplated, that the weather bureau shall enter into competition with elther state or federal establishments on medical or sanitary affairs, nor dupli- cate the work done by them. The general alm of the weather bureau in this new field of work will be to collect the meteor- elogic and hygienic statistics that may be considered by sanitarians and medical ‘cli- matologists of the greatest correlative im- portance, and to publish them in the shapes st acceptable and useful to these pro- fessions. Criticisms and suggestions tend- ing to the attainment of these ends are invited, and will be accorded careful con- sideration.” ————— COURT 0} EALS. Mr. Denaldson Canno interfere With a Census Office Publication. In the Court of Appeals, after its ad- journment for the day, opinions were ren- dered yesterday afternoon in the case of Thos, Donaldson against Carroll D. Wright, acting superintendent of the census, and in that of Joseph E. Porter against William Louden. In the first case Mr. Donaldson sought, by injunction, to restrain the super- intendent of the census from publishing a work on “The Five Civilized Tribes of the Indian Territory,” prepared by Mr. Donald- son, in what he claimed was an incomplete and imperfect condition. Mr. Donaldson claimed that to publish the work in such a state and over his nume would be to dis- credit and injure his reputation as an au- thority on the subject. The case was heard below before Judge Hagner, who refused the injunction, and the Court of Appeals, in disposing of the case, in an opinion, written by Mr. Chief Justice Alvey, affirmed that decision, holding that the superintendent was empowered to determine what should be incorporated in the report, and that the courts are without authority in the matter. In the case of Porter against Louden, the question at issue was one respecting the validity of a patent Issued for an !mprove- ment in a hay-carrier track. The decision of the commissioner of patents, in favor of Louden, was affirmed by the court. —— A Story of Mystery. Do you know what a “Story of Mystery” is?

The labor, which artists have expended during the summer months at St. Patrick's Church upon the wails and cellings, the columns and arches that mingle to make a harmony of Gothic in the grauite pile has resulted in a church interior whose beauty and magnificence is equaled in but one or two sim!lar egifices In this country, ‘and perhaps alone in the ‘New York ca- thedral. ‘The entire church is now lighted by elec- trif lights and their arrargement and in- troduction were intrusted to the New York artist, D. Columbani. In the vaulted ceil- ings groups of eiectric iights have been let in that they do not appear to be other than a part of the decorations themselves. Around the walls of the sanctuary are some ex- ccedingly artistic clusters of lights. They are made to represent bunches of graceful lilies; the stalks and leaves of gold and the flower cups of silver, while the petals are elongated electric burners. When they are lighted up the effect is particularly Ine. The Sanctuary Lamp. In the sanctuary lamp Columbani has ex- ceeded even his own efforts. Suspended from the dome of the sanctuary i+ attracts pleased notice as soon as a person enters the church. Tae lamp is of gilt bronze and it Is eight feet high. The half globe, in which the light will be held, is of wine- colored glass and is surrounded by a circu- lar work of gilt bronze, in which doves bearing olive branches and perched among grapes are represented. Upon the cover of this globe are seven kneeling angels, each bearing palm, and above is a gold crown. The whole is symbolical. The lamp con- tains three electric burners and St. Pat- rick’s is the first church in the world to use this means to illuminate one of the holicst symbols in the sanctua Tke stations of the cross, which rcpose against the side walls of the church, are of white marble, beautifully, carved and be- low these electric lights have been ar- ranged so_as to illuminate each station without being visible themselves, giving an effect spiritually impressive. A reflector has also been placed inside the dome of the sanctuary, where it meets the arch of the ceiling and a number of electrle ights will bathe the altar in radiance. The Altar. The altar itself is not completed, but the base and the tabernacle are in place, and give an idea of what the chaste magnifi- cence of the whole will be. The altar is of pure Carrara marble, with paneling of am- ber oynx just enough to make the pre- dominant white more strikigg. The taber- nacle door is of golden bronze, and is a masterpiece of the metal workers’ art. It is, of course, symbolical, and represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The organ has been decorated to harmon- ize with the remainder of the superb in- terlor, and {ts pipes are gilded heavily and relieved at the base with burnished silver. While the artists and others who did the \actual work are to be praised for the con- summate ability with which they perform- ed it, the directive genius that planned and carefully followed every detail of the de- velopment emanated from the brains of Father Gloyd and Father McGee. Both were indefatigable in their attention to the church while its transformation proceeded, and to say that Father McGee was sleep- less in his zeal and vigor detracts in no manner from the constant guardianship of Father Gloyd. z An Organ Recital. Tonight an. organ recital will be given in the church, and its new interior lighted for the first time with electricity. It will doubtless be an occasion long remembered by those who may be so fortunate as to se- cure seats, not only on account of the musical program to be rendered, but also because of the revelation the interior will be to those who see it under such favor- ab'e circumstances. Mr. John Porter Lawrence will preside at the organ, and from his well known ability it is certain that he will bring out the full beauty of tone and power of the handsome new instrument. The choir of the church will furnish a vocal program, assisted by Mr. Anton Kaspar, violinist; Miss Anita Cluss, harpist, ord Miss Mary Helen Howc, soprano, the whole to be un- der the direction of Professor Mariano Maina, the leader of the choir. The elec- tric Hight arrangements will be shown as the different selections from the mass are sung. The First Celebration of Mass. Tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock the most distinguished gathering of the Catholic clergy that has assembled in America since the third plenery council, held in Baltimore in 18$4, will occupy the edifice in attend- ance upon pontifical high mass, to be cele- brated by Monsignor Satolli, the representa- tIve in America of Pope Leo XIII. The cere- mony will be intrcductory to the meeting of the eucharistic congress, which will hold its sessions at Catholic University Wednes- day and Thursday. The sermon will be preached by bishop Keane and will be upon the subject of the congress. The music has been arranged on a scale commensurate with the occasion and will be rendered by the choir, renforced by well-known singers, un- der the direction of Pref. Maina. The pro- gram will consist of ‘“‘Laudate,” Gregorian; “Asperges,”C ‘Kyrle,” Gounod: “Glo- ria,” Gounod * solo and quar- off tus,” Gouno nus Dei,” Haydn's Second M: tion, Salutaris; “‘Tantum Ergo, ——_——_—_ NUISANCES OF MANY KINDS. A Variety of Cases Brought Up in the Police Court. ‘The health inspectors are continuing thelr war upon persons for maintaining nuis- ances of various kinds. Oliver Crawford, an elderly colored man, was defendant in Judge Kimball's court today, and he was complained against by Inspector Whitaker for maintaining an of- fersive outhouse, and his personal bonds were taken. Inspector Shepherd, who was in court, asked for instructions in cages where there fs an obstructed sewer, and the judge told him that where the nuisance was not com- mitted by the tenant the prosecution would Fave to be against the owner. David Buckingham of 2118 14th street, who keeps a canine hospital, was in court becavse the dogs in the hospital annoyed Thomas J. Phillips. The defendant said he thought the dogs had made very little nofse, and not enough to have disturbed the neighbors. He wanted to prove this by neighbors, but such proof, the court sa‘d, would not “affect the case. “Mr. Phillips may be a man of nervous temperament,” sald the court, “and an- other man may be one of the seven sleep- ers. It is enough to make out a case when it is shovrn that one person is disturbed.” ‘A fine of $ was imposed. James Edelin and Edward Morrell, colored boys, were in court for the violation of an- ctker section of the police regulations. ‘They tampered with the manhole of a@ sewer with a view to selling it for old iron. The boys were fined $20 each. Amos Brown and Roy Brock, colored drivers of a garbage cart, were complained against by Inspector Howe because they had a leaky cart In the service. “It seems hard to prosecute these drivers in this matter,” said the inspector, “but the law makes them responsible.” . Judge Kimball said he thought it would prove a hardship, and the superintendent, he thought, ought to be charged. ‘The boys said they were given the cart by Mr. Wartield, and they could do no better. Judge Kimball discharged the boys, and a warrant for the arrest of Superintendent Miller will be issued. z ‘There was a charge of violating the build- ing regulations against Mr. Geo. S. Scharr, the contractor. It was charged that he oc- cupied too much of the street with building material. The case went over for a week. Cruelty to animals was the charge against Charles Ford, Lawson Bell and Armstrong Lomax, and their collaterals were forfeited because of their non-appearance. t intervals so deftly and unobtrusively, SOUTH WASHINGTON §VILS The Oitisens’ Associatiodl Fighting Against: ve the GarbagePlant. Voice Given to Many-€emplaints ata: ightsThe James Creek Camal. Meeting Last 5 “The garbage reductioni or destruction plant should b> erected sutside the city limits.” That was the sentiment expressed at lest night’s meeting of the South Wash- ington Citizers’ Association, held in the reoms of the Washingten Athletic Club. “The people of South Washington are in the fight to win,” dzclared one of the citi- zens, who voiced the sentiment of the asso- ciation. The members say they cannot un- derstand why this particular section should be selected as the dumping ground for the refuse of the entire city. The residents of this particular section have already had ex- perience with a garbage plant, and they say they know just what they may expect if one is again located in their midst. Not only did those who lived directly in the vi- cinity of the plant complain, but those who lived along the line of South Capitol street, where the carts passed their doors, #130 ciaimed to suffer great annoyance. Last night's meeting was largely attended by representative citizens, all of whom had been liberal in contributing to the cause. Dr. Winters, president of the association, was in the chair, and Henry Story secre- tary. Interview With ébe Commissioners. . Mr. Prentiss, one of courgel for the as- sociation, was called upon to tell some- thing of the interview with the District Commissioners. Mr. Prentiss said he had very little to say, as the meeting was fully reported in ‘The Star. Beth Mr. Totten and Mr. Da- vidge, he said, made vigcrous speeches and were confident of ultimate success. They were confident they would be able to win on the law point cnd would not have to go fto the facts in the case. The case, he said, was being carefully prepared, and he felt certain that the garbage plant would not he located at the foot of South Capitol street. , A Lettcr From Mr. Dodge. Mr. Prentiss then read a long letter from Mr. W. C. Dodge, in which he sald he did not see how the associaticn could prevent the location cf the proposed garbage plant cn South Capitol street. He was opposed to the building of ihe plant, and would willingly lend a helping hand, but he thought there was nothing to be gained. In cornelusion, Mr. Dodge asked why the Commissioners had paid §@ cente a ton for the reduction of the garbage when it was, publicly announced-that another firm would do it for nothing. at “Mr. Dodge,” said President Winters, “asked why the contractor was paid 50 cents a ton when another-firm offered to do it for nothing.” He. thought it was prob- ably for the same reason that Mr. Smith could not smell any stench at Patsy Mann's. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr, Dodge. ‘A letter received from Atlaptic City was read. The letter, it was ctated,-was re- ceived from a responsible citizen. The writer stated that he had been requestefl to formulate a complaint against the garbage factory, and said he could procure affi- davits which might be of interest to the citizens here. “And,” sald the president, “this is the kind of plant the Commissioners want to put off on us. Everywhere else tt is a nuisance, but here the-Commicsioners say it will not be a nuisanee.” Other Nuisanees. 4+ «+ James Martin, jr.,/said ‘he thought the garbage plant was not ihe only nuisance in connection ‘with the gatbage question, The passage of the carts through the city is as much of a nutsdnée as any other thing,con- rected with it. ers “We have had our share 10) 3 ie erematory bnd the.cartbi” he said,.“‘and we think some other section. ought te set.2 share of it.” 3 He said that there wag anoftier nuisance in this section, and refefred to the matter of removing the night so! He said he was certain that large quantities of the soil.are dumped in the branch from the scow, and he thought it was about time to begin the use of dynamite. we “J am satisfied,” said the chairman, “that mere night soil is dumped into, the branch than is hauled away.” she Mr. Collins, from Southwest Washington, sald he wanted to help the work of the as- scciation, “But,” he said, “I'm in trouble today. I hod to sell my cows, and I can no longer sell milk about the streets.” 5 “Condemned as a nu!sance,.I suppose?” remarked a member. “That's right.” 5 “If the cows constitute a nutsance.”’ added the other member, “what is a c:smatory?’” Mr. Howison called attent!on to what he said he regarded asa great nu‘sance, the James Creek canal. This, he thought, was one @f the greatest and worst nuisances in the city. President Winters said he agreed with Mr. Howison. He said he had spoken to a man who had seen eight dead bodies taken from the canal, and-it was impossible for him to tell how many more persons had lost their lives there. “The canal,” he said, “is a death-trap, and I hope to see the day when the relatives of jssome of the dead persons will enter suit against the city.” The Anncostia Railroad. Continuing, Dr. Winters called attention to the presence of the Anacostia railroad tracks on the streets. He said he thoucht it was about time that this line was abol- ished. “We've got enough of horse cars,” he said. “Now we want an underground electric roud to @nnect 7th street with an overhead road at the navy yard, which will go over the country across the branch.” In thie connection, he said he thought that persons or corporations who own property and won't improve it should be made to improve it. On the motion of Mr. M. J. Brown, a vote of thanks was tendered the press for assist- ance given the association. Several speakers in denouncing the gar- bage plant also paid their respects to the James Creek canal, and all of them favored arching the cesspool. The Committee Increased. Mr. David Murphy moved the appointment of a committee of ten to call the attention of the health officer to the condition of James Creek canal. The motion was withdrawn, and the mat- ter will be disposed of by the existing coin- mittee. The association decided to increase the membership of the committee from ten to twenty-five. Additional members were elect- ed, so that the committee is now composed of the following: Chas. Parker, B. Leonard, Chas. Schaeffer, J. B. Prout, Andrew Arcli- er, G. T. Keane, Morris Fitzgerald, John T. Webster, David Murphy, M. C. Howison, M. C. Black, Thos. Collins, W. A. Richards, Frederick Dietz, R. B. Howison, Thos. Mar- tin, Henry Story, M. J. Brown, Dr. Winters, John Quinn, Benjamin Kidd, E. Gatchell, Dr. Hazen, Dr. Stafford and Dr. Holden. After deciding to invite counsel to address the next meeting, the association adjourned. ——— A Mental Stimulus.

According to General Orders No. 14 organi- zations will be reported at the Pennsylvania railroad station promptly at 8:30 a.m. in undress uniform, arraed and equipped, which means precisely at 8:30, and not at 8:35 or 8:40 or 8:45, and It also means in undress uniform of the Naticnal Guard with leggings —leggings for the officers as well as for the men. One of the paragraphs of the order says very pointedly that officers or enlisted men not properly uniformed will not be per- mitted to perticipate in the regular practice and that provision will be strictly adhered to, say some of those officers who are sup- posed to know what they are talking about. It is also provided in orders that officers or enlisted men who have failed to complete the gallery practice prescribed for the eur- rent target year will not be permitted to participate in the official practice at Ord- way. The reason for this is obvious. If the gallery scores are incomplete, it makes no difference how much shooting may ve done on the range, a man cannot possibly be any- thing more than a third-class man, and he would be no less than that if he did not fire a shot on the range. Practically, therefore, it would be a waste of ammunit'on to issue it to persons who could not by any pcsal- bility qualify, for, when the offical work of a command commences on the range, there will be no possibility of repairing an un- finished grilery record. “ In order that there may be no error as to the identity of those who have or have not completed their gallery practice, each of the inspectors of rifle practice will furnish to the inspector general of ritie practice before the morning on which that particular in- spector’s battalion proceeds to the range an alphabetical list by companies of the men who are entitled 10 transportation and range practice by reason of their comple- tton of gallery scores. This roll will be called at the railroad station, aad officers and enlisted men whose names are not recorded thereon will not be g:ven trans- pertation, nor will they be permitted to practice even, should they elect to pay their own railroad fare. This entirely business- like economy is said by officers at head- ararters to be especially necessary at this time because of the shortness of funds. The Safety of the Markers. Coincident with the publication of the paragraph requ'ring battalion commanders to detail as markers on the range twenty men for each day’s duty, there were re- marks around the armory as to “the dangerous character of such service,” and some officers even went to the extreme of declaring that they would not assume the responsibility of ordering any of their men nto: the pits. The attention of the inspector ‘general of rifle practice being called to these statements, he said: ‘1 fail complete- jy to understand how any officer of the Dis- trict Nattonal Guard can be so foolish—a milder term would be out of place—as to fmagine that provision would be made in general orders for the detail of men to duty in time of peace where their lives or ‘imbs would be really endangered. Any one who has seen the construction of the pits would surely refrain from saying anything about the possibility of injury; those who have not seen the pits ought, for their own sakes, to Maintain silemce. It is utterly impossible to drive a 45-caliber bullet more than a few inches ‘through sand; even the new 30-cal!- ber bullet stops in a little more than thirty inches Of sand. The markers are protected by sand confined in cribs of solid oak, fif- teen feet thick at the base and nearly nine feet thick at the top, with two inches of sclid timber revetting the inner face of the work. A two-inch Hotchkiss field gun might be fired at one of those pits for half a day and there would still remain shelter enough for a3 many men as there are markers in the pit. It is true that there is always— no matter where we are—the possibility of accident. Scaffolding will fall down, and sewer, traps will blow up, and boats will leak, and feet will slip, but the chances for accident to markers in the pits at Ordway are infinitely less than they are right here on the streets of Washington. I, for one, am sorry that there are officers in the Dis- trict Guard, who, without any shadow of reason, will endeavor to discredit one of the safest rifle ranges ever constructed.” as Pig Money for an Imngination.

Am Effort to Give the Contract to Local -Dealers—Coming Bazaar for the Teachers’ Aid Association. A special meeting of the bo&rd of trustees of public schools was held at the Franklin building yesterday afternoon. There “ere present Trustees Whelpley, Harries, Hazea, Wilson, Witmer, Cornish and Shadd. Trus- tee Harries called up the question of the uniforms of the High School Cadets, and advanced good reasons why the contract for these uniforms should be awarded to local tirms. He said he was a pretectionist to the extent of believing that all local work should be given to local firms. In the general debate which followed the introduction of this question it transpired that the contract for furnishing the uni- form for the High School Cadets was given to the lowest responsible bidder, regardiess of the location of his place of business, and that it was optional with the pup!l where he secured his uniform, provided it came up to the requirements. Usually Went to Baltimore. It was explained that there is nothinz compulsory in the matter, the award of the contract being in no sense bind‘ng on the pupils. The committee on uniform invited bids for the work, and awarded the con- tract to the lowest responsible bidder. Al- though the pupils could have their uniforms made by another dealer, they were advised to go to the firm selected by the, committee. It so happens that the work has usually gone to Baltimore firms, whose bids were a trifle lower than those submitted by local dealers. : ‘Trustees Whelpley, Harries and Witmer discussed the subject and agreed on the general principle that, other things being equal, local firms should always be favored. Considerable doubt was expressed, how- ever, as to the right of the board to change the practice so as to make dealings with lecal firms compulsory. Finally, on motion of Mr. Harries, tt was ordered “That the board of school trustees recommend to the committee having charge of the bids for High School Cadets’ uni- forms careful consideraticn of purely local bids, to the end that if such a thing be fair- ly possible the contract be awarded to a Washington clothier.” At the suggestion of Superintendent Pow- ell the board directed that the night schools be opened next Monday evening at 7 o'ciock. Only Paper for Book Covers. Mr. Cortish called attention to the dan- ger of the spread of disease by the.use of cleth as covers for books used in the public schcols, and on his motion it was ordered that mapilla paper alone be used for the purpose irdicated. Upon recommedation of Dr. Hazen, Al- mathea Morrison, janitress, was trans- ferred from Greenleaf to Smallwood school and her pay increased to $500. She suc- ceeds Frank Silby, deceared. The Coming Bazaar. Trustee Harries said that the Teachers’ Aid Association was freauently embar- ressed in making arrangements for the coming bazaar for the benefit of the annuity fund by reason of doubt as to their full powers. He suggested that ‘a special com- mittee of ‘the board be appointed to repre- sent the board jn considering errangements for the bazaar. He made a motion that ‘all matters relating to the participation of teachers and pupils in the proposed teachers’ bazaar be referred to a_ special cornmittee, with power to act.” The mo- tion wes accpted, and the committee was constituted of Trustees Whelpley, and Witmer.
