MORGUE INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL | Affairs of Interest to District Resi- dents and Taxpayers. EXAMINING PHYSICIANS Potter’s field is doomed. The pauper burying ground on the Eastern branch is to be abandoned—that is, if the Commis- sioners.can persuade Congress to appro- priate enough money to erect a crematory there. The scheme originated with Inten- dant Stoutenburgh, and has the indorse- ment of the Commissioners, who will in- clude an item for the same in their annual estimates to Congress. Aside from the sanitary features of a crematory for destroying the bodies of the pauper dead, Intendant Stoutenburgh points to the fact that the field has been buried over and over so often that within 2 short time it will be impossible to dig a grave without striking another very near the sur- face. é It is the purpose of the Commissioners to erect a model crematory on the site of the present burying srcund, and have in con- nection with it a first-class morgue, with all modern conveniences. In fact, the proposition will be made in connection with a morgue, a building of which the District has been so sorely in need for so many years. At the present time there is a small brick building in the rear of the sixth precinct station house which is used as a morgue. It is thoroughly unsuited for the purposes of a morgue, and there are no facilities for keep:ng bodies of unclaimed dedd nor for performing autopsies. Year after year the coroner has recommended that an estimate be included in their rec- ommendations to Congress for a morgue, and the Commissioners have consistently asked Congress for an appropriation to build one. No matter how modest their re- Guest, it has always been denied. Matters have changeu now, and it is be- lieved with the argument of an over-buried cemetery and the proposition to purchase another burying ground for the paupers, Congress will realize the exigency of the situation and appropriate sufficient funds to erect a crematory, and with it a morgue. A Star reporter interviewed Intendant Stoutenburgh upon the subject today. He said it was true that he had recommended the erection of a crematory. He did so for several reasons. First and foremost, be- cause potter's field was overcrowded. The cemetery had been buried over several times, until at present it was difficult to find a place of sutticient depth to make a burial. He was opposed to superficial in- terments. They were always liable to spread disease. Cremation was sanitary; and defied grave robbers better than all the guards in the world. An Incorporation. The Widows’ and Charitable Working Club, No. 1, of the District of Columbia was incorporated today by articles filed by Lizzie Johnson, Harriet Boston, Mary E. Cousey, Josephine Green, Susannah Pratt, Ellen Branders and Mary Segal. The pur- pose of the organization is to care for the colored poor and sick widows of the Dis- trict. Reserving Sents. Another fight to prevent theatrical man- agers from reserving seats after the vpen- ing of the theater is promised. Recentiy a gentleman called the attention of i} Commissioners to this matter, which he characterized as unjust to the public, and urged that the District take some agtion to compel the managers to observe th@law. The Commissioners, it is understood, have decided that while there has been a legal opinion upon this matter confirming the injustice, and declaring in specitic terms against it, they have no power to issue a police regulation upon the subject, nor to compel the theaters to observe the law. The matter, it is understood, will be fu: ther prosecuted. Crematory Site. A plat of the ground upon which it is Proposed to locate the new garbage crema- tory has been made by the building inspec- tor in accordance with the direciion of thé Commissioners, and furnished to the latter with a report that the proposed structure is within the limit prescribed by the build- ing regulations for buildings of that clas: In other words, the whole question of a garbage crematory upon the observatory site hinges upon the“interpretation of the law regarding nuisances. : me ‘The Commissioners wiil probably. send the matter to the attorney for the District for a legal interpretation of the statute, and upon this report final action will be taken. It is understood the property owners in the neighborhood of the proposed site will make a fight before the Commissioners to prevent the erection of the crematory. They Will, it is stated, use the argument that the location of such a plant will greatly depreciate property, and further, being within the limit of 200 feet of a dwelling, as prescribed by law, is illegal. Street Sweeping Estimates. In an interview with a reporter of The Star concerning the new street sweeping estimates, Superintendent McKenzie said: “In making my estimates for street and avenue sweeping, &c., for 1898, I increased the amount tor such work $37,000, as the eisht-hour jaw will affect the next con- tract, if one is made, or the authorities, if they did the work directly. Under the present contract, the contractor works his men ten or more hours per day, the law re- ferred to not having gone into effect at the time the contract was made. He is not cum- pelled under its terms to complete his work between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Those hours, as fixed in the specifications and made a purt of the contract, allow him in addi- tional two hours in which, after the sweep- ing is done, to get up the dirt, which makes ten hours. If, however, he was working under the law cf 1892 known as the eight- hour law, he would have to complete the work as an entirety between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., if those were the hours fixed in future contracts. It follows, then, that to do the same amount of work ii eight hours as now done in ten, it would require more force. More force increases the cost; hence, I estimated such increase of cost at $21,000, or one-fourth more than the same amount of work was costing at present. I think that I am right. I submit copy of section 7 of specification attached to present contract: y “The daily sweeping must be done be- tween the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. in summer and 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in the win- ter. The sweepings must be removed from the street within two hours from the time of sweeping. In special cases the Commis- sioners may direct such variation from these’ hours as in their judgment shall be advisable.” “The other increases asked for are $10,000 to sweep sireets now swept once per week twice per week; also $6,000 for properly sprinkling urban and suburban streets and roads that are macadamized or otherwise improved, making in all $37,000. Entire es- timate of $120,000 is based on 256 days’ work during the year.” ——_——__ To Examine Physicians. The first examination of physicians for license under the new medical law will take Place October 8, 9, 10 and 11, in the rooms of the civil service commission, which have been kindly proffered to the examining board.

The Bright Little Soubrette Passed Away Early This Morning. Miss Annie Lewis, one of Washing‘on's brightest and most popular representatives on the stage in this country, died this morning at 2:80 o’clock at her home in Chevy Chase. Miss Lewis has been a sufferer for over a year, having caught a cold in the Bowdoin Square Theater in Boston last summer which ultimately developed into consumption, and while the end was not looked upon as being so near at hand, it was known that her condition was exceed- ingly precarious. It was thought that Miss Lewis could be taken to the rarer atmosphere of Colorado in time to produce a change for the better in her condition, and a benefit was given some days ago at the Academy of Music by her many friends and admirers in this Annie Lewis. city to raise the necessary funds to give her the trip. The amount needed was more than realized, but the efforts so generously put forth in her behalf were in vain. Throughout her sickness she has displayed the same sweetness of disposition which won for her so many personal friends in her native city, and her death will be a sad blow to those who have watched for the time when she would again be enabled to take her place among the foremost be- fore the footlights. There is probably no one who has gone from the capital city to make a name for himself or herself on the stage who has achieved greater success or won more friends and admirers than Annie Lewis. In everything she undertook she was em- inently a drawing card, and no small meas- ure of the regard in which she was held by many thousands was due to her own per- sonal characteristics outside of her capa- bilities in a professional way. She was known in this city even as a small child, having been born and raised here, and en- joyed the distinction even then as a reader of more than ordinary merit. When she became older she entered into amateur theatricals, and it was apparent at once to every one who saw her that the stage was the proper sphere for her. Her first professional appearance was in “The Little Trump,” in which she scored a suc- cess, and from that time she quickly rose to a high place in the esteem of the thea- ter-going public, not only in her native city, but in every city and town in which she appeared. Soon after her first venture in the legitimate she supported Estelle Clay- ton and Roland Reed, and later became one of the members of Hallen & Hart's company. While in their company she gained the distinction of being one of the Most popular soubrettes in the country, and her gpngs were whistled and sung by every one wherever she appeared. Her first starring tour was with Jacob Litt in a play written especially for her by William Haworth, and how many of the theater- going people of this and other cities re- member the characters of Cinders in “The Nutmeg Match!” She was also starred as Kitty Starlight in “The Dazzler.” After this tour she played for a year in the Bos- ton Museum, mainly assisting in the pro- duction of comic operas, then she was for a while with Camille D'Arville, and from there went to the Bowdoin Square Theater, where she caught the cold which resulted in her untimely death. Her funeral will take place from the residence of her father, Mr. Chas. E. Lewis, at Chevy Chase, Wed- nesday morning, and the interment will be at Glenwood cemetery. a STREETS STILL LITTERED. Children Making Bonfires Broken Branches. It has been nearly a week since the se- vere storm visited this city and did so much damage. and there are many streets in different sections of the city that have not yet been swept. On Capitol Hill the resi- dents are complaining of the amount of dry leaves and dirt on the streets. Chil- dren have been having a good time building bonfires and endangering property, but in that way some of the rubbish disappears, although the law is violated and property endangered. “I don’t understand what is the matter with the authorities that they should leave the streets in this condition for so long a time,”? said a resident of Capitol Hill to- Gay. “liven East Capitol street has not been swept and there has been very little, if anything, to obstruct the sweepers for sev- eral days. Th2 leaving of the decaying leaves and so much dirt on the streets cer- tainly is not beneficial to the health of the community and the health officer should take the matter in hand.” Last night there was a big blaze on a vacant lot near 9th and K streets north- east. For a time people in that section were uneasy for fear sparks from the leaves and branches of trees pilél there would set fire to their property, but the de- bris was destroyed without any damage being done. of the , after more than a week’ THE CAMPAIG peas senaag He Will Make Hin First Speech at Laurel Tomorrow Night. Oprrespondence of The'E¥ctiing Star. -> 1+ ILAGREEL, October 5, 1896. Senator Arthur-P. Gorman arrivéd ‘at his home near here late Saturday evening trip to New York. While the Senator would neither affirm nor deny the rumor that he was to take charge of the Bryan campaign in the. east, there is every reason to believe that the Senator will dg aq 'Ft4s also-certain that Mr. Gor- man will make several speeches-during the riext four weeks of the campaign. His first speech wilf bé delivered’ here. tomorrow night, when he will preside at the Bryan, Sewall and Mcss ratification méeting, which will be held under the atispice¥ of the Lau- rel Démecratic Club. Thjs spech will be follewed by others at Baltimere and other parts of the state. The Senator, it is-be+ lieved, is now hopeful of eatrying Mary- land for Bryan. The large,” meeting at Baltimcre, at which Bryan spoke, and at which the Senator was present, no doubt Strengthened the Senator's belief in the fact that the bilver movement, {n. Maryland was of no small Gimenéions. Mr. Gorman realizes that considerable welght rests upon the registration, and is pmxious: that both in the counties and the city of Balti- more. the full democratic vote shall be got- ten out, not only for the election this year, but for the one next year, at which 2 leg: lature, which will elect his suc2essor,° Will be chosen, Preparations for the great ratification meeting which will be held tamorrow night cn the portico of the Hotel Leslie are about completed.

Most of the houses along the route will ‘probably be decorated and iliuminated. In the event of inclement weather, the meeting will be held in the Acidemy of Music.

It aims at obtaining the co-opera- tion of every man and woman whose si cerlty is not questioned and satisfactoi references are necessary to secure admis- sion. The organization is supported by vol- udtary contributions and the expenditures are confined to the acquisition and distri- bution of information in the issuance by the officers of the directions, instructions and orders incident to the work. Body Will Be Permanent. “The body will be permanent, and what- ever the outcome of the present political centest every man who has taken any part in the work of intimidation of voters will have ample demonstration of the fact that we are existing and acting before the close of ‘9, Our plans and membership are not open to public scrutiny; we are not a labor ution and no bar exists to any person who can pass the necessary test for member- ship. “Ihave letters from various localities showing that manufacturers, merchants, bankers, railroad officials and others are ig various unwarranted methods to ‘arp the political judgment of those over whom they exert ‘an influence either as employers or otherwise, and these tactics must be met. “We know that the people are handicap- ped to a certain extent in this fight. Money is not abundant. Newspapers are gener- ally antagonistic, and the majority of the perty leaders in charge of matters are acting so lukewarmly as to cause grave fears of their earnestness, so that. this movement is essential to counteract the discrimination we have to contend against. ‘The black list, discharge, or the enmity of an employer will have no terrors for our members, because, as I sald before, our work will be done legally, quietly’ aifd Without publicity. “We have chosen the name ‘Minute Mcn’ because they were among the first to take up arms for American liberty originally, and the present officers have been selected chiefly for the reason that they were in a pesition where ne discrimination could be used against them in a business rense.” A Specimen Notice, Continuing, Mr. Bishop said: “We are daily in receipt of communications from local assemblies all over the land telling us of notices which are being posted in mills and elsewhere, warning employes against voting for Bryan, and the following, which comes from Galveston, Texas, is a fair sample of all: “Notice: On account of the short cotton crop and the general business depression caused by the free silver agitation, this mill will close Saturday, October 3. “All hands will be paid off Tuesday, Oc- tober 6, at 4 p.m. The management hope to start the mills again in January. It will depend a great deal on the condition of business at that time and the result of the November election. There is very little doubt of starting provided McKinley 1s elected, and we believe it is the duty of all who have in any way been connected with this mill to use their influence in that direction. “McKinley's election means sound money and a return to general prosperity. “(Signed) WALTERS S. DAVIS, Jr., “Secretary and Treasurer, “Galveston Bagging Factory, “Galveston, Sept. 30, 1896.” The writer of the letter, which inclosed the notice, stated that threats of dire re- sults to follow in case of the election of Bryan would not deter Texans from voting for him, and that Bryan would carry Texas by a large majority. oe Mississippi Democrats. , Saturday evening the democrats of Mis- sissippi residing in Washington met at the rooms of the Interstate Democratic As- sociation, 1328 New York avenue, and cr- ganized a Mississippi Democratic Club. The meeting was called to order by James S. McCarthy, who had been elected temporary president at a previous meeting. Perma- nent organization was effected in the elee- tion of the following officers: Judge Fred Beall, president; James S. McCarthy, vice president; W. S. Langford, treasurer, and Harry Peyton, secretary. Thirty-five names were added to the roster of membership, and the platform and nominees of the Chicago convention were unanimously in- -Gorsed.

The club will meet again Tuesday evening at 1328 New York avenue, and all Mississip- pians are requested to be present. af Special Meeting. A special meeting of the members of “Columbia Typographical Union will be held this evening for the purpose of arranging for the reception and entertainment of a number of delegates from the east to the coming convention of the International ‘Ty- pos hical Union, which begins at Colo- rado Springs, Col., in about ten days, ind iS “who will stop here en route.

The ninth regular meeting of the Pioneer McKinley and Hobart Club of Clifton Park took place at its headquarters at Clark's store Friday night. A letter was received from Capt. John McDonald, candidate for Congress from the sixth congressional district, in which he states he “heartily appreciates the deep in- terest the Clifton club has taken in his success from its organization,” and that “he is pleased to know that the major part of its members are farmers and farmers’ sons, and trusts that the day is not far distant when their interests may receive the same care and protection that all other industries receive throughout the land, which can be accomplished by sound money and protec- tion with an administration that will re- store the confidence of the people.’ The vice president, Mr. Wm. H. Clark, and the chairman of the executive commit- tee, Mr, Bailey Clark, reported that a care- ful poll had been made of the section of Wheaton district lying between the Coles- ville pike, the Northwest branch, the Sligo and Takoma boundary, which resulted as follows: For McKinley, Hobart and Mc- Donald, 34; Bryan, Sewall and Lee, 26; doubtful, 2.
