There has been filed with the health off- cer a vigorous protest from Mr. A. M. Raymord against the further disinterment of bodies from Graceland cemetery. He says there have recently been a number of cases of typhoid fever in the immediate neighborhood, and upon iting the ceme- tery at the request of several citizens, he found a frightful odor emanating from the graves which had been opened. He urged, in conclusion, that the work of disinter- ment be stopped at least during the hot weather. Health Officer Woodward replied to this that he had investigated the matter him- self, and falled to discover any odors from the open graves. He did not think the ty- phoid fever was caused by the open graves, but requested the names of the people in the neighborhood who had the fever, add- ing he would have an investigation ‘nade. He promised to keep the matter under ob- servation, and close the cemetery should the facts warrant it. At the present ‘ime, hewever, he declined to interfere. page Excursions to Seashore via B. and 0.

Tomorrow will be Family day at beauti- ful River View, the day when the grounds of the resort are turned over to the chil- dren, so that they can run about, shont and play to their hearts’ content, for no one, tells them to stop. The season of 1807 now rapidly drawing to a close, and after tomorrow, only two more of these family Saturdays remain, so parents would be wise to take advantage of them to give the little ones a day's outing on the shady lawns of the View, where they can get abundance of pure, fresh air. Every Sat- urday since the Family-day trips were started. the Pentz has carried down large numbers of small people, and they have always enjoyed themselves and returned home tired, but with rosy cheeks and re- newed strength. The Pentz tomorrow will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and will return from the View at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m, As usual on these family days, tickets for the round trip cn the 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. boats will be reduced. On the evening trip, however, they will be as usual. There will be music and dancing all day, and the chute and other attractions will be ready to afford amusement. This is Indian Head night again. To those who make the entire run to the Head, about fcur hours’ of continuous river breeze is enjoyed, with the finest scenery on elthe: side of the river that one could wish to gaze upon. As some folks prefer to mix a little dancing with their evening’s outing, the Macalester will stop at Mar- shall Hall both going and returning, so as to allow those who care to, to have some time on the gtounds or in the pavil- ion. Also those who have spent part of the day at the Hall and would like to take in the extra sail are invited to do so by the ccmpany. No extra charge for this. Schroeder's Band is on hand on both trips en the river and on the grounds One can- not wish for anything on these trips in "the Way of comfort or amusement that is not fcrthcoming. The Macalester leaves her wharf for Indian Head tonight and to- mcrrow night, at 6:30 o'clock. It's a case of Mohammed and the moun- tain, this comfort-hunting in the summer. If you cannot bring the breezes to you, at least gu where they are and enjoy them in the fullest measure. There is no limit to them at Marshall Hall, and every night crowds throng the boats and reap the full benefit of the outing in the refreshing draughts of air from the Potomac. The Hall is the one place where one may in- dulge in dancing to the heart's content, and be cool and comfortable all the time. Schroeder’s Band is responsible for the ex- cellent music on the boats and in the pavil- ion, and heightens the enjoyment of the trip immensely. To get away from the heat of town and spend an evening amid the refreshing surroundings is the most in- vigorating sort of an outing. It will do any one good. The Macalester leaves daily at 10 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. ————— Combination Tickets for Orphanw’ Baznar.

When William Lucas was arrested, about two weeks ago, for an alleged indecent as- sault on Bessie Gladman, at his home in South Washington, there was a little girl named Mary Bartlett living in his famiiy. This child ‘s about six years old, and her father lives on a canal boat. He did not want to keep the little one on the boat, and, thinking she would fare better in the city, he sent her to live in the Lucas fam- fly. A few days after Lucas was arrested and sent to jail a report was made to Officer Wilson of the Humane Society con- cerning the Bartlett girl. When the offi- cer wen: to the house to make some pro- vision for the care of the child he learned that she had been taken back on the boat by her father. Officer Wilson is now anxious to see the father. He thinks he may be able to make some arrangements whereby the child will be given a home in the city, where she can attend school. a Excursion to Buffalo vin B. and 0. Account G. A.

SATISFACTORY RESULTS, Police More Active and Attentive Since the Shake-Up. “Since the police shake-up made by Com- missioner Wight, some days ago,” remark- ed a business man to a Star reporter this morning, “there has been a great change in the appearance and conduct of the officers on the street. During the past two years, until a few days ago, I had not seen a sergeant of police near my place of business, but now I notice one or more of them every day. And the privates are much more attentive to their business. Some of the men who had the appearance of being sixty years old or more are now young, active men.” In the detective branch of the depart- ment Inspector Mattingly is slowly work- ing changes in the method of doing busi- ness. The men are now required to an- swer in the morning, unless detained away from the office on busi:iess, and where real detective work is -equired, all, and not a selected few, are told of what is desired. During the day, when not actually en- gaged on a case, the detectives are sup- posed to do street duty, instead of waiting about the office for somthing to turn up. The work of the office is so arranged that the inspector is more in touch with his men, and can summon them to the office at short notice in the event of an emer- gency. Records of everything reported are required to be kept, and for this purrose the inspector has furnisned each detective a suitable book. A general complaint book has been opened, and matters which have heretofore been recorded only on a slip of paper, to be thrown away, are recorded in this book. Under the present system every complaint or report, no matter how trivial, is re- corded in a book and kept for future refer- ence. — G. A. R. to Buffalo via B. and 0.

Henry Oettinger, claiming to be owner of lot 291, Beatty and Hawkins’ addition to Georgetown, tcday filed a bill in equity against the District of Columbia, preying that the. District be enjoined from inter- fering with or molesting him-in his use and enjoyment of said lot. Mr. Oettinger charges that in 1895 the District entered upon and took possession of- part of the lot, and ever since has claimed to have possession thereof. The District, he states, took said part of the lot for the purpose of ia public highway, known as 37th street, grading, filling up and gut- tering it. AH that was dene without his leave cr consent, says Mr. Oettinger, with- out condemnation, or proper proceedings, and without compensation being tendered or made to him. Recently he fenced in part of the lot so taken, for which a prose- cution against him is now pending in the Police Court. Through Attorneys Padgett & Ferrest, Mr. Oettinger asks the court to decree such entry by the District to have been without lawful authority and an interference with his rights. He also prays that the District be decreed to have no right or title to the said property. $3 For a Tip-Top Time. $3 Join the Merry Throng for Ocean City —Maryland, tomorrow, 3 p.m., B. and O. depot.
