OTHER BUSINESSTRANSACTED ‘The regular semi-mcnthly meeting of the Anacostia Citizens’ Association was held last evening at Haines’ Hall, on Harrison street, and from beginning to end it was a veritable love feast. Everybody was happy, and there was no hesitation on the part of any one in saying so, This exuberance of feeling was caused by the passage by the House (the Senate havirg already taken similar action) of the Capital Railway Com- pany’s bill, by which the people on the south side of the Anacostia river are to secure rapid transit within the next twelve months. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock by the president, Dr. George C. Havenner, and in the absence of the secre- tary, Mr. H. B. Darling, Mr. Henry John- son was elected secretary pro tem. As soon as routine business was disposed of a number of speeches were made in which reference was made to the great tory secured by the association In the p age of the Capital Railway Company's bill, and after all who desired to do so had ex- pressed their views in the matter, Mr. Hen- fy Johnson offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: The Resolutions, “Whereas the Citizens’ Association, the duly and only organized body charged with looking after the advancement and general improvement of Anacostia, wishes to place upon permanent record its high apprecta- tion of the valuable aid rendered the asso- ciation In {ts successful effort in obtain- ing legislation for rapid transit and im- proved car service generally for the citizens of Anacostia and adjacent suburbs; there- fore, be It resolved, hat the citizens of Anacostia, this association, thank the honor ate and House of Representatives for so promptly recognizing the need and for en- acting legislation giving the citizens of Anacostia better railway facilities. cially are the citizens indebted to the Sen- ate and House committees for the District of Columbia for the patience and courtesy shown on all occasions to the members of this association, pending the consideration of the rapid-transit measure, no single in- stance occurring wherein there was not only marked interest shown by the honorable gentlemen constituting said committess, but there was also that genuine gentleness and courtesy that Is a marked characteristic of the American national legisiator; and be i rther resolved, hat the citizens of Anacostla acknowl- edge their obligations to the local press gen- erally, especially The Evening Star, whose clean-cut and Incisive editoriais probed and exploded the false premises laid down for perpetuating upon the good people of Ana- vostia_a car service that has outlived its usefulness, and also for its full, correct and unb:ased reports of the proceedings of the meetings of this association; and be it fur- ther resolved, “That this association recognizes and ap- Preciates the efforts of many good ladies of Anacostia, who, by their carnest, trtel- ligent and comprehensive Idea of the neces- sily of the one particular need of Anacostia —tetter car service—cheerfully and willingly largely contributed toward solving that vexed question; and be it further resolved, “That this association considers itsalf largely the debtor to those citizens who aided it in successfully demonsirating that a railway company holding valuable franchise to occupy the public highway is not an eleemosynary corporation, but a common carrier, to be conducted on’ general business principles, and, when failing to meet the requirements of the traveling pub- lic, cannot cover its delinquencies by senti- mental appeals in behalt of a certain class of investors; and be it further resolved, hat this association congratulates the citizens of Anacostia upon the dawn of a new era for their beautiful suburb, and Icoks hopefully to the future fer its growth and development commensurate with the new life infused, and its awakening from its Rtp Van Winkle slumber; and be it fur- ther resolved, “That this association appreciates the ef- forts of Mr. A. E. Randle in providing the citizens ding east of the Eastern branch with rapid transit in modern c 0 be run, lighted and heated by electri Other Business. ty Upon the call of committees, Vice Presi- dent Mrs. Eaton reported, in the most en- tertaining manner, the result of the work of the commitice having charge of the matter, in securing the needed legislation for rapid transit. Mrs. Eaton was quite complimentary in her remarks about the chairman and members.of both committees of Congress for the District of Columbi: a and at the conclusion of her remarks the committee was given a vote of thanks and request d to continue to serve the associa- tun, Attention was called to the effort being mate to reclaim the Anacostia flats, and on motion committee compused of Mrs. Eaton, Messrs. Keating, Rick and Johnson was appointed to co-operate with any other committees having a similar object in view. President Havenner called attention to the fact that there was a great lack of pro- tection from fire In Anacostia. He referred to the several fires which have recently oc- curred in the town, which, in his juds- ment, might have proved less serious had there been a fire engine nearer than Capitol Hill, and he urged upon the association the Importance of taking immediate steps look. ing toward procuring a chemical englae for the town. After several other members had ex- pressed themselves In a similar vein, the chair, on motion, appointed the following committee to take charge of the matter Messrs. Buckley, Eaton, Darling and Van Hoy, to which ‘President Havenner was by request, subsequently added. if Mr. Keating spoke of the great need for a new police station in Anacostia, and on notion the committee on fire engine was requested to look after that matter also. Mr. Johnson called attention to the de- plorable condition of the Hillsdale school building and offered the following paper, which was unanimously adopted: ‘i “Whereas the Hillsdale school building, & public school for colored children, is situ. ated on the brink of a running stream, which during heavy rains flows into the basement of said building to the depth of four feet; and “Whereas the constant dampness which permeates the building, is unhealthy to both teacher and pupil, that, together with the general structural weakness of the building, is a menace to the health and safety of those daily in attendance; there- fore be it resolved, “That this association recommend to Congress, through the Commissioners for the District of Columbia, that prompt remedial measures be taken toward the erection of a suitable building in a more healthy location than the one now used for school purposes.” Thanks The Star. In a letter to The Star Mr. R. B. Buckley, the treasurer of the Anacostia Citizens’ As- sociation, says: “I personally tender you my thanks for the great help your paper has been to us in our fight for rapid transit to Anacostia, and its future as a suburb Is very much im- proved by the prospect of the early realiza- tion of that blessing. Your editorials and Hberal notices given of our several meet- ings have greatly aided us in our efforts,” ——_.__. A Conference About Armor. Represeniatives of the Bethlehem and the Carnegie steel companies, which make the armor for the United States navy, have had interviews with Secretary Herbert and the chief of naval ordnance respecting the specifications for a large amount of armor for the new battle ships. The bids for this armor are to be opened Saturday, and the armor men are dissatisfied with certain of the requirements as to reforg- ing and other methods of treatment in- cluded in the specifications, GRANT CELEBRATIONS. Recalling the Memory ‘of the Great Commander in Seyeyal Cities. The birthday of Gener) Brant was cele- brated In a memorable ner in several cities last night, especially in his former residence at Galena, Ill.;/§t the dinner of the Middlesex Club, Boston, where ex-Con- federate General Longstreet spoke, at New York and at Philadelphia. General Longst-eet, in defaking of Grant as a general, paid a high tribute to his skill. He said, among other things; “Of all the Union comm! the great leader who ac the great field of war. “The soldier had the comprehensive mind of the statesman. He knew that the south had neglected factories and only applied its energies and labor to improve agriculture, and bent his mind and power to the safe blockade of our seaboard cities, “Albeit, we worked a precarious source of supplies through the harbor of Wilmington, N. C., but Grant sent Terry with parts of the army and navy, and the last source was cut off. “When offered the high command of the armies of the United States, the Heutenant general declined to be responsible for the result of the operations unless he could be assigned to exclusive authority of the move- ments of those armies. “This condition the War Secretary refused him, but President Lincoln, after mature deliberation, found the importance of the suggestion and its hardening influence for successful work, and ordered Grant tu as- sume command and exercise full authority in working out his own plans. “His affairs at the Wilderness were not as successful as he would have had them, but, nothing daunted, the resolute soldier thought that his policy could be worked suc- cessfully by persistent heavy blows; that his line was the shortest way to the end, the end that he had resolved to wrest from the terrible Lee, leaving the cost to speak for its work. “When it was all ended, Incapable of malice, his generous heart offered all that his enemy could ask as terms of surrender, with abundance of provisions for the hungry soldiers and transportation to their distant homes. Ex-Governor John Q. A. Brackett pre- sided, and the principal guests of the club were seated about him at the table of honor in this order: On his immediate right, Act- ing Governor Wolcott, Senator Foraker, ex- Governor Boutwell, James H.

DOCTOR McCOY’S MONOGRAPH ON DEAFNESS The Cause of Ear Troubles, Where Deafness Begins, and the Treatment That Cures This Condition—Notable Cures Cited of Persons Who Had Been Deaf for Years. Doctor McCoy’s clerical force has been utterly unable to supply the de- mand through the mail for copies of the Monograph on Deafness. In re- sponse, therefore, to many unanswer- ed inquiries, and for the benefit of The Star readers, the full text of the monograph is herein reproduced. In spite of its absence of technical os- tentation, its masterly simplicity and directness, sometimes its almost homely frankness, it will be regarded for many years to come as a classic in medical literature, and is worthy of being carefully preserved by those who are interested in the history of the advance of medical skill. THE MONOGRAPH ON DEAFNESS. Having been asked time and again what it ts that makes people deaf; what {t is that cause the roaring and buzzing sounds to occur in th ears, ond how tt is that I am enabled to cure these conditions that are usually considered incur- abie, and how long it usually takes to cure deaf- tess, I have decided to answer, as far as Mes in my power, ail the questions in one short article. ‘This article will explain, first of all, in popular and easily understood terms, what 1s known of the enr and its diseases. Tt ts with 2 certain amount of hesitation that I approach that part of the subject relating to the George Cecil Hyde, 3409 Prospect ave., testifles to Dr. McCoy's skill in curing deafness. cure of deafness. The reason for this ts to be found in the fact tat I myself worked out the problem of the tof ear troubles, and I am not a bellever In seif-pral So in this article I will deal with but the out- lines of my discovery, allowing those whom It has been my privi to cure to demonstrate wherein the treatment differs from ull other treat- ments for deafie THE ONLY PROOF I ADMIT. It {8 my belfef that the strongest argument for any plan of treatment consists In results, that a cure proves more than volumes of printed expla- nation. I have reached that time in my profes- sional career when I believe In no remedy or treat- meat that does not benefit and eure. Nor do 1 have any faith in a treatment that cures only isolated cases of dise: In order to prove its efficacy to me a treatment must cure by scores and hundreds, otherwise Iam prone to belleve that the cure may have resulted from chance or acel- dent, or may bave been brought about by natural causes. The people should understand about th what it is that ss it to become diseased lose its usefulness, ‘This becomes apparent wi ear and nd on it is understood that It is due largely to the health and action of the cars that many people are enabled to earn thelr Hiyelihood, and all must hear to eujoy re: those pleasures which It from associati society, amusement and public worship. THE CAUSE OF EAR TROUBLES. What it ts necessary for the people to know in regard to car trouble is, first, Unt deafness and roaring and buzzing sounds heard tn the head come from a disease that begins within the lead and ‘They must understand s these conditions ts he ear drum, and from the outside part of the throat. t the disense that caus situated deep down and back of that no treatment that is appli can each {t or ever cure ss or rid the patient of the annoying sounds that accompany this condition. The car consists of a tube leading from the out- side of the head to a little curtain which blocks this tube up entirely. Then there fs another tube that begins i part of the t and extends up vo the other side of this same little curtain, This curtain that nts the two exr tubes from 1s calied the ear dram, Inj health the ear dram stands bt up, being alr ro kept in this position by the pressure of Un in the tube on the outer side, and by the pre of the alr in the tube on the inner sida of the P.

WHAT CONSTITUTES HEARING. Sound travels through the alr in the form of ‘These waves pass through the external striking the drum, set this dellsate membrane vibrating, and these vi- brations, keeping tune with the waves of sound, are taken up by the nerves of the ear and carried to the brain, where, after they are registered and analyzed, we are said to Lear. ‘Thus, in order to hear, the ear drum must vibrate from contact with the waves of sound, and the nerves must take up these vibrations and carry them to the brain, ‘The ear ouly takes up te sound, The brain docs the rest. Anything that Interferes with the health and functions of the tube that leads to the dram from the outer 2! (Ling that interferes with the free passage of air through the tube that leads from the throat to the drum; anything that inter- pat ts detrimental to th es ime palrment of the h $s heard in the bead. THE GREAT CAUSE OF DEAFNESS. If the external opening of the ear be blocked up the sounds heard become mufiled. If the car drum be injured It thickens and cannot vibrate from gentle waves of sound and the hearing loses its acuteness. If the internal passage leading from the throat to the ear fs closed up the pressure of alr behind the drum is absent and the air presses on the outer side of the drum with the uniform pressure of 14 pounds to the square inch, and the delicate membrane that forms the drum is pressed Inwsrd and bulges toward the throat. When this fa the case the waves of sound strike the drum, but {t cannot vibrate aa It should, for it 1s held firmly by the atmospherle pressure as though it were in a vise. When sich a condition exists the hearing Is interfered with and the severity of the deafness depends oa whether the Eustachian tube ve but partially or completely closed up. This condition serves as the great ‘cause of deafness. Acute hearing 1s ouly possible where the ear 8 free current of and ever pressing drum stands up straight and alr ever passing in front of i ig and recelving sounds, it is absolute- to have the instrument that produces or receives the sounds fa the presé the free pessage of alr; the same rule holds good with the ear drum, which Is the most sensitive musical to strument ever created.
