Tranip Objects to Unbuttered Bread— Lecture Under Auspices of Father Mathew Society. Evening Star Bureau, - No. King Street, Bell Telephone, No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November ¢, 1807. The leakage in gas at the city gas works has been under discussion by the com- mittee on ligh* and the committee on finance. It will be remembered that at the last meeting the subject was the cause of a heated debate, which brought out the fact that extravagance, rather than econ- omy, was the order of the day at the gas works, and that there was mismanagement somewhere. Mr. J. D. Collins of the United Gas Im- provement Company of Philadelphia, who recently made an inspection of the works, has appeared before the joint committee and mede an additional report. He stated that when he inspected the work he could see plainly evidence of bad management, and was of the opinion that the works as they now stand cculd be made to pay the “ithe matter will probably be brought up at the next meeting of the city counch, when it is hoped that it will be settled. Police Court. There were but two cases for trial before Mayor Simpson in-the police court this morning. Wm. Newton, charged with steal- ing corn from Alfred Peters, was fined $5. A veg was ordered out of town. Father Cutler's Lecture. Lyceum Hall was the scene of a large gathering last night, occasioned by a lec- ture by Rev. Father Cutler, rector of St. Mary’s Church, under the auspices of the Father Mathew Total Abstinence Society. The lecture was both interesting and in- structive. Vocal and instrumental music was rendered. Tramps Grow Insulting. Now that the cool weather is coming on, the “vags" are beginning to come into the clty for focd and lodging. This morning Ben Miller, a tramp, was arrested for using abusive language. He called at the resi- dence of a citizen and asked for something to eat. He was given some hot rolls, and got mad because they were not butiercd, with a relish and coffee on the side, and became very violent. His arrest’ was caused, und he was given fifteen minutes in waich to leave town, with the alterna- tive of serving on the chain gang. Fraternal Visit. Rathbone Company, Knights of Pythias, had a regular meeting and drill in its hall last night, after which the <aembers left on the 8:15 train for a fraternal visit to Nelson Company in Washington. They re- turned on the midnight train much pleased with their trip. Brotherhood Reading Rooms. The free reading rooms under the aus- pices of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, on Lower King street, were thrown open to the public again last night. There was a large crowd present. These rooms are a great comfort to many young men, who spend their evenings there in reading and other innocent “pastimes. Brevities. Mr. H. R. Burke has gone to Charlottes- ville for his health. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union held a meeting this afternoon. The Woodlawn Farmers’ Club will meet Saturday at the residence of Mr. A. H. Roberts. The interior of the market house is being whitewashed. —_.—__ THE COURTS, Court of Appeals—Present, the Chief Jus- tice, Mr. Justice Morris and Mr. Justice Shepard. Patent appeal No. 79, Mason agt.

When Carey Staples read in a paper where a man withcut experience could in- vest $50 and earn a good salary he lost no time answering it. He made an engage- ment to meet the man im the Corcoran building today, and the appointment was kept. They met in the hallway of the building and Staples parted with his $50 without any formal written agreement. “Tl step in and make out a check and give it to you to hold,” sald the man he met, who-had introduced himself as Charles Se aeamnade an unsuccessful attempt to follow his newly made friend, but Schwartz scon disappeared and could not be found.

This valley of the Rhone has been quite noted for its golter victims, although I am happy to say that, through the in- creased watchfulne$$ of the authorities, there now is abatement of the disease. Many different! tausqs are assigned to the terrible affliction—this enlargement of the glands of the throat, goiter, or “big neck,” as it is sometimes called—and even the best informed are far from being unani- mous -as to its origin or prevention. The peasants themselves say it is brought on by the habitual use of snow and glacial water. The water is so cold it. acts as a counter-irritant, and so inflames the throat; but. this. explanation hardly holds, as the inhabitants of the upper regions are not £0 often afflicted as are the people in the lower valleys.

I believe that it is rarely fatal, but because of this enlarge- ment of the glands, and the consequent disfigurement of the throat, it is most re- pulsive; and yet the natives are so accus- tomed to seeing it that they do not seem to care. It probably is simply a source of discomfort rather than- mortification. In fact, in some portions of France, Italy and Switzerland a goiter is a thing to be prized and to be exhibited, for its possession ex- empts a man from military service. Young men have been known to resort to certain wells supposed to convey this poison to the blood that they might evade conscription. When Savoy was annexed to France vig- orous measures were adopted to stamp out if possible this hateful disease. There was a heavy penalty for drinking the water of forbidden wells, and then the little chil- dren weie treated in the hope of curing them. Lozenges of iodine were adminis- tered, and out of 5,000 children 2,000 were cured, ani more would have been helped had not the parents ignorantly opposed the giving of the remedies. The villages also were cleaned and sanitary measures insisted upen. For, aside from all other causes, it is quite agreed that goiter may be transmitted or be sporadic. Like diph- theria, it is a filth disease, and often has its origin ir the negligent habits of the villagers, These peasants. refuse to live elsewhere then in the old “dorfer” (vil- lages), each morning going far away to the fields. but returning at gight to their over- crowded homes, where men, women and children, cows, goats and donkeys dwell to- gether fraternally. ——_++ Dend Body Founda.
