Inciden Related of Experiences in the Klondike Country. At Hamline M. E. Church, corner 9th and P streets, last night there was a lecture, under the auspices of the Epworth League, by Captain Greenup, who has just re- turned from the Klondike gold fields. There was a large attendance. Captain” Greenup interested his audience with a number of anecdotes {illustrating the life and customs of the miners among whom he had been for a number of years. He spoke of the dangers incident upon a trip to the Klon- dike, especially in crossing the various passes. He advised against forming part- nerships along the route, for, he says, there are sharpers always on the lookout for the unwary. In speaking of .the wealth that he be- Heved to exist in the Alaskan gold fields, he said: “No dreamer can exaggerate the Wealth of that country; untold millions lie frozen in the bowels of its mines await- ing the pick of the miner who is willing to brave the fearful suffering and expos- ure in order to obtain it. Compared with the wealth of the Alaskan gold fields the aggregated millions of our Four Hundred dwindle Into insignificance.

Advertisement, NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT Permit to Be Issued for Installation in Hotel Johnson. : Opinion of Attorney Thomas Filed With Commissioners — Conditions Under Which Plant is Authorized. There is pending before the District Com- missioners an application made by Mr. H. P. Hill, president of the Hill Lighting Com- pany, for a permit to install in the Hotel Jonnson a gas engine for the purpose of running an electric light plant. Mr. Hill explains that, while he has not yet made any such contracts, he feels that he would be entitled, should the permit be granted, to supply neighboring houses with an elec- tric current, provided he makes the neces- sary arrangements with other parties, and provided further that such extension does not involve the use of public domain. The District building inspector, in report- ing on the application, explained that such proposed outside use of the machinery would be what is termed “block lighting,” or an electric power station. The author- ity to locate such, in the opinion of the building inspector, is not provided for in the building regulations. The application was subsequently referred to Capt. Burr, the assistant to the Engineer Commission- er, who held that the erection of such ma- chinery to be authorized under the build- ing regulations for domestic purposes, aud for other than domestic purposes the erec- tion of engines propelled by steam or other motive power would be permitted only with the assent of the owner or owners of two- thirds of the property not occupied wholly or partly for business purposes within nine- ty feet of the outline of the building erected or used therefor. x Capt. Burr's Comment. “I see no objection,” says Capt. Burr, “‘to the issuance of a permit for the erection of the engine for the purpose stated, pro- vided the above noted and all other re- quirements of the building regulations re- lating to the erection of engines, wiring of buildings, etc., be complied with. It has recently come to my knowledge that the Hotel Raleigh furnishes current for Castle- berg’s jewelry store, and that Belt & Dyer furnish current for Barber & Ross. The conditions in these instances are similar to what wouid exist. in the case now under consideration.” Still later the application of Mr. Hill was, on the suggestion of Commissioner Black, referred to the attorney for the District. The attorney was requested to report whether, in his opinion “the action of Con- gress in restricting the areas to be served by the several electric lighting companies in the District would admit or prohibit the installation of a plant by another com- pany for the purpose of furnishing light ard power, or whether the matter is en- tirely outside of the control of the Com- missioners, other than as provided for in the building regulations for the installation of machinery, so long as the public streets and alleys are not touched.” The Statutory Provisions, The opinion of the attorney for the Dis- trict is “that existing statutes in regard to electric lighting restrict the occupation of public streets, avenues and alieys in the city, and the public roads of the District, to the electric lighting conduits and wires of the two electric lighting companies now operating here; but that those laws do not prevent the installation of a plant for fur- nishing light and power on private prop- erty. So far as the present application is concerned, it would appear to be controlled by section 160 of the building regulations. “If the owner or lessee of the property known as the Hotel Johnson requests per- mission to put a gas engine in that bulld- ing, and accompanies his request with the written assent of property owners, as pre- scribed in section 160 of the building regu- jations, he would be entitled to a permit. Whether, after an electric plant is installed in the Hotel Johnson, that company or the owner or lessee of the hotel will be enti- tled to furnish electric light and power from that plant to other premises in the block is a question that does not arise on this application.” It is undgersiood that a permit will be granted to Mr. Hill in accordance with the opinion of the attorney for the District. ae es PART WITH THEIR WAGES.

Mr. Richard W. Goode of the United States geological survey delivered an ad- dress in the lecture room of Columbian University to the members of the National Geographic Society. He took as his sub- ject “The Bitter Root Forest Reserve,” and handled it in a masterly manner. Tho reserve discussed is one of those made about the close of the Cleveland ad- ministration, which has caused much talk and criticism. It comprises one of the most picturesque portions of the Rocky moun- tain region, including the main crest of the great range, with contiguous portions of Montana and Idaho. Originally the tract was well wooded with pine, fir, spruce, hemlock, larch and other coniferous trees, and the forests were favorite haunts of large game animals, including elk, moose, deer and bear, with the mountain goat and the big-horn toward the rocky summits. The abundant game attracted sportsmen and pot-hunters, followed, as usual, by for- est fires, by miners, and in the operations of the large mining companies immense quantities of the remaining timber were consumed. The principal reason for making this re- serve is to secure reforesting, and thus re- cover the primeval conditions. eae See American Gas Machine. Lighting, heating and cooking.

OPINION OF AN EXPERT Experienced Engined Reports Upon Strength of Navy Ward Bridge. Declared to Be Perfectly Safe and Capable f Hearing Six Cars om Atty Span. In view of the reports which Have been Publisked from timé to time relative to the alleged unsafe‘ condition of the bridge across the Anaéosti& river, some New York capitalists who are interested in the elec- tric railroad between Congress Heights and the navy yard gate, recently employed Mr. Walker, an English bridge engineer, who is regarded as an expert in that line, to make a thorough investigation of the structure. Mr. Walker completed his ex- amination a week or two ago, and yester- day a copy of his report was received in this city. In part it fs as follows: “My calculations, as will be demonstrated below, show that the bridge is perfectly safe, even when fully loaded with six cars on any span. This is a condition of load that could not possibly be exceeded and would in practice be hardlly likely to occur. “The bridge consists of twelve identical spans, each consisting of through trusses of seven panels each, 22 feet center to cen- ter of trusses and 18 feet in depth between pin centers, each panel being 14 feet in width... “The roadway is supported by travers- plate girders slung in stirrups below each vertical member. The dead load, as cal- culated from the dimensions taken, is about 95,000 pounds per span, or say 98,000 pounds, which would equal 1,000 pounds per lineal foot. I will assume the live load to be fully six fully loaded cars, three on each track. As these cars are about 32 feet in length they would occupy the whole of the span, and would therefore be the greatest load of cars that could possibly be put on any one span. Each truss has been proportionately designed. Strength Per Square Inch. “The strain is equal to 54,969 pounds, or of 9,573 pounds per square inch, sectional area, which gives a factor of safety of 5, assuming the ultimate breaking strain to be 48,000 pounds per square inch of ma- terial used in the bridge. “I therefore, state that there need be no hesitancy whatever in operating elec- tric cars on the Anacostia river bridge.” A prominent citizen of Anacostia stated to a Star reporter that the Commissioners’ report on the Navy Yard bridge, declaring it to be unsafe, was made before the bridge was repaired. Has Been Thoroughly Repaired. “Since the Commissioners’ investigation of the structure,” he continued, “it has been thoroughly repaired. New timbers of huge proportions have been placed upon the large granite piers, which are twelve in number, placed every 100 feet. On these granite piers the Capital Railway Company bas placed large eighty-six-pound girder rails, upon sills of extraordinary size,which are securely fastened together by fish plates and huge bolts, so that it is consid- ered by those qualified to judge that it is now the strorgest bridge in the District. It is also learned that the Capital Railway Company placed four of its heaviest elec- tric cars on each span, successively, loaded to their full capacity, Which tested to four times the strength necessary to use it, as the company never expects to have more than one car on the bridge at a time.” a ee Violets, Sweétest of All Valentines.

To the Fditor of The Brening Star: The country has been made aware that the plan of autonomy in Cuba was a farce instituted by Spain for the purpose of blinding the eyes of the United States and bribing the officers of the energetic Cuban army. The cotmtry. at large looked upon the talked-of réciprocity treaty as another phase of the farce. Therefore there is little surprise as to these matters aroused by the letter of the late Spanish minister. As to his insulting rematks concerning our President, the press has been eloquent, but only a few papers, among these The Wash- ington Star, have forcibly touched upon the other points of this now famous letter. Certainly the dignity of the administra- tion would prevent action, concerning the insults to itself, other than the prompt di: missal of the offender, which ought to have been the immediate result. As to the in- sult to the United States as a country, we have long been aware of Spain's conception of us, and have, many of us, felt that we could hardly blame her for that concep- tion, but everything has been veiled by the diplomatic haze of “friendly relations. Now, Spain's opinion has been expressed by Spain’s envoy in such manner as to make it impossible to shut our eyes to it. Must the conditions which led to the incep- tion of that opinion continue to exist? Shall our “pleasant relations” continue to invite a Spanish war vessel to enter any one of our ports at pleasure—to pass be- yond range of our coast defenses and sail up, let us say, to the harber of New York city? Should an emeute occur in the streets of Havana and the interference of a ship of war become necessary, and should Spain, with the Viscagia lying at anchor in the waters of New York harbor, declare such an interference an act of war, what shall prevent the “friendly” destruction of the elty of New York?

Ketchum acted as pianist, and, in addition, gave a solo, which elicited much applause. The performance was very clated by the vast audience, as was evi- denced by the many encores.’ Many of the friends were unable to gain admittance, so great was the pressure within the lodge room. Ice cream and cake and lemonade were served, and each one was presented with a beautiful “up-to-date” rose bud. Mr. W. R. Renner acted as master of ceremonies, assisted by Messrs. Jos. Gat- to, Hiram R. Biddle, Preston J. Rollon and Robert L. Cowling. Nearly all the lodges were represented by members and their lady friends. much appre- By Teaching the People To Obey the Simplest Law of Nature Hundreds Have Been Cured of Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma and Consumption. It sceins strange, indeed, that in this enlighten- age people shotld have to be taught that the ir passages in the head, throat and lungs were made for dry air alone, and that invisture of any Kind cannot enter the ‘bronchial tubes and lungs. Yet such is the case, and the-efforts of the R. x. Booth Company (who, during the past few montis, have been teaching the people that great aud un- changeable law of nature, which permits nothing but dry air to enter the bronchial tubes and iangs: and prevents moisture of any kind from entering these passages) show how much such a lesson 18 needed by the general public. The reason why it has not been taught before is this: Until “‘liyo- mei"’ was discovered, there has never been found a germicide of suiliclent power to kill the bacilll of bronchitis, asthma and consumption, yet vola- tile enough to impregnate every particle of alr breathed by the patient and I it free from moisture. Sinee then, so important was this dis- covery considered by the medical profession, that over thirty-eight hundred physicians have pre- scribed this new method of treating diseases and instructed their patients in its use. “HYOMEI” CURES BY INHALATION Tt ts Nature's own remedy: Taken with the air ou breathe, it reaches all the parts affected, filling the germs of disease at once, and bringing such relief to the sufferer as cau be obtained in no other way.

Inx From 1 o'clock until after 6 o'clock yes- terday afternoon it was almost impossible to gain access to the Columbia Theater, so great was the crowd attending the benefit given Washington Lodge, No. 15, B. P. O. Elks. The program was one of the most elaborate ever arranged by the local lodge. The cast was composed of the principal talent engaged in this city this week, while many came from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York to lend assistance in making the entertainment a success, and such it was. Despite the great length of the pro- gram, it was so diversified that the audi- ence did not appear to tire in the least, and each succeeding number was received with applause. Williams and Walker, the eccentric col- ored comedians, who were at the Grand Opera House ‘t week, headed the pro- gram, and started the ball of applause to rolling. They were followed by Helene Mora, Charles R. Sweet, McMahon and King, Sam J. Adams, Hyberta Prime, Marie Stuart and Remington and Hines, and these features made up the first part of the per- formance. Mr. Thomas W. Keene and Mr. Charles B. Hanford opened the second part with a scene from “Julius Caesar.” Rose Suther- land danced herself into the hearts of the audience, and Waldo Whipple amused. The Althea Sisters and Thomas J. Ryan and Mary Richfield gained popularity with their entrance. As a finale there was a clever presentation of Charles Palmer’s adapta- tion of Alphonse Daudet's story, ‘1871,” in which Edward J. Walsh, John J. Nolan, Alice Irwin and A. T. Seaman appeared to advantage. — GEN. BOOTH’S MEETINGS. He Addressed Two Large Meetings in This City Yesterday. Gen. Booth, the head of the Salvation Army, addressed two large audiences yes- terday, one in ‘the afternoon at Calvary Baptist Church, and the second in the even- ing at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. Both of these large auditoriums were completely filled, and a great number of people who had expected to attend were disappointed. An overflow meeting was held in the lecture room of the church and a@ second audience was gathered in the main auditorium after the first dispersed. Last evening was the third and last public appearance of Gen. Booth in this city, and this morning he left for Pittsburg. Both of the services yesterday were of the revival order. Gen. Booth made strong appeals to the unconverted, and the mem- bers of the army who were present led in singipe the songs used at Salvation Army meetings, the services being illustrative of the army methods of dealing with the un- ecnverted. Gen. Booth spoke with a di- rectness that was calculated to reach those who were careles3 and indifferent in regard to religious matters. He spoke of sin and the need of repentance. He also dwelt on the relations of human beings to God. He defined the Christian as one who kas the spirit of courage. In response to appeals from Gen. Booth a number came forward for prayers.
