FUNDS ARE REQUESTED. An Indebtedness Remains on the Recent Union Veteran Legion Reunion At the request of Commissioner John W. Ross, Mesers. Isadore Saks, John B. Wight and Frank P. Madigan have consented to act as a committee to raise the amount necessary to pay off the indebtedness re- maining on the reunion of the Union Vet- eran Legion encampment held here last October at the invitation of the citizens of Washington. ‘The committee has issued’an appeal for contributions toward this end, and in the course of it says the pledges made the city’s guests had to be kept, and at the time that they were made the expectations ef raising all the money fo defray every expense were hopeful of raiization. The hard times, however, caused a non-fultiil- nient of promises on the part.of many wha were expected to afford aid. The result of the poor response for money caused a lack of funds in the treasury of the commitiee in charge of the finances. In conclusion the commit‘ee sa “Tt is looked upon by thcse wail informed on this matter that the fair name of our city for hospitality is involved, and taat crft- icism must not be alluwed, ta, arise through failure to liquidate che imdebied due to the entertainment of the city’s gt Z Checks may be sent to Jchn 2.

These are pe- riods of danger if not hedged about with Proper safeguards, At these times any weakness or derange- ment of the feminine organism is liable to have serious conse- quence. It is not safe to neglect the earliest symptoms of such trouble. Any woman may obtain free of charge, the professional advice of a skilled, experienced specialist by consulting, either personally or by letter, Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y, For thirty years he has been recog- nized as one of the most eminent living specialists in diseases of women. His “Favorite Prescription” is known all over the world as the most perfect cure ever de- vised for all feminine disorders, and weak- nesses; and the most perfect strengthener for prospective, or nursing mothers. It is the only medicine for women which is pre- pared by a regularly graduated, skilled physician. The most interesting and valuable book for women ever written is Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser. A splendid thousand - page volume, with over three hun- dred engravings and colored plates.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. BELL. The Ex-Deputy Commissioner of Pen- sions Complimented by His Friends. A large number of employes and officials of the pension office called last evening on ex-Deputy Commissioner H. C. Bell, at his home, 18 4th street southeast, and gave him and his wife a most pleasant surprise party, during which a beautiful gold watch, chain and charm were pre- sented to Mr. Bell as a mark of esteem and friendly regard in which he is held by his old associates in the pension office. The visitors were cerdially welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Bell, who did not know what the gathering of so many old friends meant, until Mr. W. T. Pierson, chairman of the board of pension appeals, acting as spokesman for the party, in a well-worded speech, complimented Mr. Bell on his record during twelve years’ service in the pension office, and especially during the past four years as deputy commissioner. He said he admired Mr. Bell's intense par- tisanship, in spite of which he had never allowed politics to control or affect his official actions. He then presented Mr. Bell the watch, in the name of 150 attaches of the bureau, who respected and admired him, and wished all pcssible success in life. Engraved on the front case of the watch were the initials of Mr. Bell, and on the obverse side “1897.” On the inner case was this inscription: “Hon. H. C. Bell, from his friends in the Pension Bureau, April 7, 1897.” Mr. Bell was deeply moved by the expres- sion of regard from his former subordi- nates, and he was hardly able to express his thanks. He did so in a brief speech, expressing his deep sense of the kindness of his old friends, and thanked each snd all for their good wishes. After a pleasant interval for conversation, the guests re- turned to their homes, delighted with the evening’s experience. ——.__ THE FLYING MATINEE. A Big Audience Witnesses “Falka” by the Castle Square Company. The flying trip of the Castle Square Opera Company to this city to give a matinee per- formance of ‘‘Falka” at the Lafayette Square Opera House was a notable event in theatrical circles. The house was prac- tically sold out before the doors opened today, and when the performance com- menced at half an hour after noon the Opera House was crowded with a brilliant audience and many ladies were standing up, unable to obtain seats. The company, orchestra and scenery left Philadelphia at 8:29 o'clock and reached this city at 11:20, and from that time until the hour set for the performance all the paraphernalia was taken to the theater and put in place, and the curtain rung up promptly on ‘time. ‘fhe performance was an extremely en- Joyabie one, and the work of both prin- cipais and chorus was excellent. The ap- preciation of the audience was manifested by liberal applause and many of the num- bers had to be repeated. Miss Kdith Mason made a bright and attractive Faika and sang the music allotted to her rote in a pleasing manner. Miss Lizzie Macnichol was warmty welcomed when she made her first appearance, and her soio was emphati- cally encored, and on its repetition sne re- ceived a handsome bunch of roses. Her rich contralto voice was heard to exe: Jent advaniage and her attractive person- ality was manitest wnenever she was on the stage. Mr. Wm. Wolff was a splendid Folbach, acting the part with rare iumor and singing the music in an arustic man- ner, dispiaying the power and wexibility of an unusuaily nne bass voice. Oscar Girard was effective as Tancred, as were aiso Wm. G. Stewart as Bolesias, Arthur Wooley as Lay Brother Pelicem and Morris Abbe as Senachal. The ladies were all good and the chorus was large in numbers, full and powerful as t> tune, and it kept in :ime and tune. The orchestra deserves mention for its splendid accompaniment work, and the performance as a whole was the ‘most enjoyable representation of light opera that has been heard in this city since Jonn McCaull was in the height of his success. it the matinee today is a sample of what may be regularly expected during the summer season to begin at the Latayette Square Opera Hous taster Monday mght, crowded houses at every performance may be expected. The company will leave Wasn- ington on its return at 3:19, and is sched- uled to be in Yhiladelphia at 7 o'clock sharp and will give iis regular pertorm- ance in the Quaker city tonight at 8 o'clock. ‘The enterprize ot Messrs. Nixon and Zimmerman, and Mr. Southall, the manager of the Castle Square Opera Com- pany, in making this flying trip was be- yond any similar attempt heretoiore made. a Sanitary Suggestions. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I desire to submit the following for the consideration of the public in general, and the District Commissioners in particular. The number of cases of “grip,” typhoid fever, malarial and other kindred diseases throughout the towns and cities of the United States has reached almost the pro- portions of a plague. The chief causes of this condition are the proximity of swamps or marshes; the drainage of the same into rivers used for supplying drinking water, and the pollution of these rivers by the contamination of human dwellings, man- ufactories, etc. The point was reached long ago when a remedy was imperatively de- manded. I desire to submit the following plan in respect to the District of Columbia, and it is one which I think must ultimately be adopted throughout the United States, Ist. Dredge the swamps and marshes of the Eastern branch of the Potomac and such other swamps and marshes of that river 2s may lie opposite or contiguous to the District of Columbia, in the same manner as was done with the land known as the Potomac National Park. 2d. The sale of the lands incidentally re- claimed or made by this process, in par- cels of not less than three acres, and for the purposes of truck gardens. ‘The pro- ceeds arising from the sale, it is believed, would more than pay the expenses of re- claiming the same. 3d. The free use of the present Potomac water supply of the city. Thus abolishing the present water rent system. 4th. Congress to authorize the District Commissioners to subdivide the District of Columbia inte districts supplying artesian well water and tre construction of artesian wells therein; for example, one well to a given number of city squares. The Dis- trict Commissioners to have the right to condemn, take and use such pieces or par- cels of private land as may be necessary te provide such wells, etc. To lay lateral pipes for conveyance of the artesian wa- ter along the lines of the public streets and alleys or over private land. After the laying of such pipes the compulsory con- nection of private abutting property there- with. The charge of a fair water rate or rent to each house so connected for the use of said water, said water rent or charge to be based upon the square con- tents of flooring of each house or other just and fair measure of charge. The Commicsioners to be authorized to issue bonds necessary to carry out the plan of supplying artesian water to the District. The rents derived from the use of the wa- ter to be applied to the cost of maintain- ing the supply, the interest on the bonds and the gradual redemption of the bonds. When this plan is carried out Washington will then be the healthiest city, with the purest water supply, in the United States. JOHN 8. BLANKMAD ——— Working Hara. Charles White, who has a wife and fam- ily near Langdon, and who conducts a garden for a Mvelihood, was not in a posi- tion to know what he was doing when he returned home last night, and people liv- ing near him knew that he had not lost the uge of his tongue. His wife had barred the door against him, and he was threat- ening to dcmolish the house when Police- jman Knupfer heard him. This all hap- pened about 1 o'clock this morning, but White told Judge Kimball he thought it was about 8 o'clock in the night. “That shows where your wits had gone,” the judge said to him. “But I'm a hard-working man,” the pris- oner interrupted. “You were working hard with your tongue when the officer arrested you.” A’ fine of $10 or thirty days was Im- posed. —s——...

Am Important Circular Issued by Secretary Gage. officer, clerk and employe of the Treasury Department is interested in the circular issued by Secretary Gage today governing the matter of leaves of absence. Several important changes are made in the system prescribed by the last admin- istration. The new rules ‘are as follows: “Hereafter leaves of absence will be granted to officers, clerks and employes of this departmert during any calendar year, as follows: ‘At any time during the months of Jan+ vary, February, March, April, May and June, for any number of days which do not exceed, at the rate of two and a half days per month, the number of days ac- crued and unused at the date of request for leave. “At any time after July 1, in any calen- dar year, the full thirty days may be granted, or such portion as may be yet due and unused. “In special cases, where the application for leave is accompanied by a written statement by the head of a bureau er office, or chief of division, Secretary’s office, giving good and sufficient reasons therefor, the above limitations may be waived, not to exceed fifteen days before June 1. “From and after this date the heads of bureaus and chiefs of divisions, Secre- tary’s office, in this department, shall make a daily report to this office, division of appointments, in the cases of absence on account of sickness or other cause on tke part of employes in their respective bureaus or divisions, said dally report to be filed in division of appointments not later than 11 o'clock a.m. of the day fol- lowing that upon which said absence vc- curred. “When such repert is received, a medical officer of the marine hospital service will be direcied to investigate and report to the department in each case of sickness so reported. “Record must be made of ail absence for fractional parts of a day, and when such fractional parts aggregate seven hours, a day’s absence must be charged and reported on the time reports. “In continuous absence which exceeis three days, the Sundays, if any, interven- ing must be charged and reported on the time reports. “The provisions of this circular apply to all officers and employes below the grade of presidential officers. imployes must report to their respec- tive offices not later than 2 o'clock p.m. the fact that they were unable to repo-t for duty on account of sickness or other- on such days as they may be absent. “It is also ordered that the certiticates of sickness required by the rules now in force must be filed in the division of ap- pointments within five days from date of return to duty. “Heads of bureaus and chiefs of divi- sions of the Secretary's office are speciaily enjoined to see that the foregoing ord-rs are strictly compiled with. The Secretary is compelled to take this action in order to avoid the annoyance and importunity of clerks and others fur restoretion of pay which has been withheld on account of excessive absence, and notice is heresy given that when the sixty days, for all causes, have been exhausted, in any cal- endar year, application will be considered on the ground that it is a ‘special and meri- torious’ case only when presented in per- son to the chief of the division of ap- pointments by the kead of bureau or c! of division, Secretary’s office, in whic the person interested is employed, for presentation to the Secretary, together with a full statement of the facts upon which ‘special and meritorious’ considera- tion is claimed. “The reports herein called for are to be additional to the regular monthly re- ports as now furn‘shed. “In all cases where the time reports of the respective bureaus or divisions show an excessive absence for the calendar year of any employe thereof, the head of the bureau or division is hereby dire-ted to make the necessary stoppage of pay on the pay roll for the month in which such excess occurs, noting on the pay roll the amount of money and number of days stopped. This to be done before the pay roll is sent to the division of appointments for approval.” . pec ee eget eee It matters little what it is that you want —whether a situation cr a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill E. J. Barrett's © Continued. After a hearing that occupied more than two hours Judge Miller in the Police Court this afternoon announced that he would render his opinion tomorrow in the case of E. J. Barrett, arrested recently on a war- ranted setting forth that he obtained about $4,000 by means of false pretenses on a lumber contract with the Navy Department. Mr. Barrett contends that the matter was merely a parinership dispute, and the rem- edy, if any, lies in the civil courts, not by a criminal proceeding. It was thought by counsel that the court was about to dismiss the case on the ground that he was not satisfied that false pre- tenses had been clearly shown, but the matter was continued until tomorrow in order to permit the examination of authori- ties by the counsel for the prosecution. Mrs. M. Brown, 1014 E street northwest, has asked the police to make an investiga- tion of the theft of a valise containing cloth- ing and a satchel containing $4 in money, alleged to have been taken from 1007 E street last night.
