The Dog Questio To the Editor of The Evening Star: Apropos of the dog question and in an- swer to the letter signed “Lawyer” in Thursday's issue of The Star, allow me to state that if the Commissioners would exer- cise their rights within reason they would have the assistance and support of all dog owners in the District, instead of being assailed by them. Admitting that the law is mandatory and an order muzzling all dogs is necessary and imperative, it cer- tainly does not. require six months to exter- minate the tramp dogs running at large. No dog owner would object to keeping his pet housed for a month, or perhaps two, while the aforesaid curs were being caught and put out of the way, but to extend this order away into midsummer is unjust and ridiculous. Both the fault and remedy are with the poundmaster and his men. Make it a penalty chargeable to them for every stray and unlicensed dog at large. More than once have I seen these dog catchers pass several cur dogs playing In the parks and pursue a pet dog following his master or mistress, simply because they knew the latter would go to the pound and pay $2 to Tecover the pet, and there would be no money in catching the others. I would sug- gest to the men who have these meetings in charge to give us more than one day’s no- ice. I, for one, have not attended the meetings on account of short notice. lOONEY. . M.

ELLIOT DEAD He Was for Many Years in Charge of the Aqueduct. SKETCH OF HIS LONG CAREER Served With Distinction During the War of the Rebelii jon. TO BE BURIED AT ARLINGTON Colonel George H. Elliot, corps of en- gineers, U. 8. A., retired, died yesterday at Marmion, Prince George county, Va. His death occurred at the residence of his son- in-law, Mr. Fielding Lewis, after a brief illness. Colonel Elliot lived in this city, at 1608 O street, a greater part of the time since he was placed on the retired list. While in active service he was for a num- ber of years in charge of the Washington aqueduct. Afterward he was engineer rep- resentative and secretary of the light house board. This line of duty kept him in the capital city a great deal, and he was one of the most widely known army officers ever stationed here. At the time of his death he was sixty-nine years of age. His only sur- viving relative is his wife, his only son having died in Cuba while serving in the Spanish war and only daughter having died Colonel Elliot. Photograph by Gilbert. about three weeks ago, after a long ill- ness. Funeral services will be held at St. Matthew's Church Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock, interment being made in Arlington national cemetery. General Wilson, chief of engineers, was officially notified today of the death of Col- onel Elliot, and he gave orders for the preparation of a general order notifying the corps of engineers of the loss of one of its most valued members. This order will in- clude a brief biographical sketch of Colonel Elliot and will pay a well-deserved tribute to his memory. It will be promulgated next week. Hin Honorable Career. Col. Elliot was relieved from duty in connection with the Washington aqueduct March 30, 1895, that belng the day of his retirement. Despite the fact that he was no longer on the active list, he continued in charge of the improvements of the Dale- carlia or receiving reservoir, Congress hav- ing appropriated $37,500 for that project, with the special provision that the work should be done under the supervision of Col. Elliot, and that hé should receive the pay and allowances on the active I Elliot alway until it was completed. Col. took a deep personal In- terest In the betterment of the water tem of the Di t of Columbia, and ac- complished many reforms and valuable im- provements in that direction. He won the esteem and gratitude of all public-spirited citizens. Col. Elliot was a native of Massachusetts, J: -d States Mil- July 1, 1851. uated and appointed a second lieutenant of the Ist Artillery July 1, 1855. He had his fir: at the garrison at Fort had frontier duty at Fort McIntosh, Texas, dur- ing which he engaged in a skirmish against the Indians. From 1856 to 18 Fort McHenry, the corps of engir he was In garrison at timore. His transfer to pers took place January 26, 1857, when he was made assistant en- gineer in charg* of the construction of de+ fenses of San Francisco harbor. He served with credit throughout the civil war and was brevetted major, March 1 for meritorious service in the field. Colonel n: Elliot had m Important duties on the Pacifie coast which kept him In that section of the country until April, 1870, when he was transferred to Washington to serve as engineer secretary to the light house board, which office he held until May, 1874. Assixtant to General Casey. He served as istant to General Casey, former chief of engineers, for eight years, at the expiration of which time, in 1882, he was placed in charge of various works of defense in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He remained on that station until April, 1887, and during that period was a member of the advisory counsel to the Rhode Island state board of harbor commissioners. He reached the grad? of lieutenant colonel Au- gust 8, 1852, and colonel May 18, 1893. In 1887 he was granted a year’ ick leave, which period he spent in Europe for the benefit of his health. Returning to the United Statzs in July, 1889, he was placed in charge of the Washington aqueduct and the increase in the water supply of the city of Washington and remained continuously on that duty up to ine day of his retire- ment. Colonel Elliot wrote several valu- abl2 works, chief of which are “Light House Establishments of Europe’’~ and “The Presidio of San Francisco.” THREE POLICE ORDERS. Directed Against Rubbish Throwers, immoral Pictures and Badge Chains. Maj. Sylvester issued an order today di- recting the police officers to enforce the law against throwing rubbish in the streets and alleys. At this season of the year, when spring cleaning is being done, the police find that a considerable amount of such stuff is thrownjout. It is for the pur- pose of preventing this practice that the order was issued. An order was also Issued directing the of- ficers to notify holders of slot machines that they must remove all’immoral pictures from them. In many kar Tooms, the police say, such pictures are in the machines. Maj. Sylvester says that persons who fail to observe the law in this respect will be prosecuted. In another order ‘the police are told to discontinue the wearing of the chains at- tached to their badges. >The Star called attention to this question some time ago, and Maj. Sylvester gave the matter careful attention before issuing the order. Not only did he find that the chain was un- sightly, but it also endangered the officer's clothing when making arrests. Se Sent Down for Fifteen Da: Edward Bowen, colored, who lives in South Washington, appeared in the Police Court this morning to answer a charge of bad conduct. His face was badly bruised, and Policeman Buckley said he was injured by falling on the street while he was under the influence of liquor. “I wasn’t drunk,” said the prisoner to Judge Scott, “but I had been drinking. Last night I was on my way home and wasn’t troubling anybody, when the policeman asked me to go with him to stay at the station till I got sober. Like a fool, I went with him.” He was assessed $5 for his ED and Was given fifteen days in de: THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Dull Days These, to Be Followed by Gayer. Automob! w= to the Matinee After Breakfast—Recent Hospitalities —Personal Mention, The coming week has had few of its at- tractions heralded, therefore it is safe to assume they will not exist save in homeo- pathic doses. The unexpected plays to the best advantage these early spring days, when the social world, like the rest of hu- manity, prefers to give most time to out- door life. Three or four years ago the bi- cycle helped this impetus along and brought in its wake the rainy-day and every-day short skirt; now it is the automobile which appeals, and while the ownership of these vehicles is as yet Iimited-they have evolved a new topic of conversation and opened up fresh opportunities for enjoyment. With all these modern methods, however, of mak- ing a spring day more charming and of portioning off good friends in couples noth- ing is likely to be more satisfactory than the old-time style of long walks along un- frequented streets and prolonged rests in the parks, watching the crocuses grow. Anybody who has good eyes has plenty chances of watching little incidents like these any afternoon now, and of adorning a tale as well as pointing a moral telling about it. Signs of the after-Easter revival are abundant both in the wedding an- nouncements and dances planned. Unless advantage is taken of next week there will be little to stir the gay world for the last fortnight before Easter. Mrs. John W. Thompson entertained at a breakfast today, when her guests were those who assisted at her Monday recep- tions during the past winter. The dainty meal was spread in the green dining room at Rauscher’s. Afterward the company found automobiles awaiting to convey them to the matinee, where the party filled three boxes. Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean and Rep- resentative and Mrs. R. R. Hitt gave din- ners last night. Mrs. Smith, wife of the Postmaster Gen- eral, is expected back from Atlantic City today. Mrs. Platt, who has been so seriously ill for some time past, went to Atlantic City today, accompanied by Senator Platt. The marriage of Miss Hannah Walker Sampson, youngest daughter of Rear Ad- miral William T. Sampson, U. Ensign Wat Tyler Cluverius, U. take place on the evening of April 5 in the commandant’s house at the Charlestown navy yard, Boston. The bride’s only at- tendant will be her small niece, daughter of Lieut. and Mrs. Roy C. Smith. Three other of Admiral Sampson’s daughters have married southerners. Mr. Cluverius was born in New Orleans, and was appointed to the Naval Academy in May, 1892. He was on the U. S. S. Maine when she was de- stroyed. He served on the U. S. 8. Scor- pion in the war with Spain. Afterward he was transferrej to the U. 8. S. Solace and went to Manila. Not long ago he left the ship at San Francisco. Mr. Cluverius has received orders recently to report for duty at the Naval Academy as instructor in gunnery.

The Pyramid Pile Cure ts a success because it has the merit which brings muccese. It cures every form of piles and cures them to stay cured. It is now the most popular and best known pile remedy before the public, and one reason for its great pop- ulerity is because it has taken the place of sur- gical operations, once ccnsidered the only sure cure. People often wonder that so simple a remedy will so promptly cure such an obstinate trouble as piles are well known to be. Yet the greatest reme- dies and greatest inventions wo have are the sim- plest, and the fact that it does cure is all the suf- ferer from piles wants to know. The Pyramid Pile Cure cureg piles in any of the disease, as shown by the following testi- wonlal letters which are published every week and New cases reported cach time: From Geo. C. Geick, Owens Mill, Mo.: Some time ago I bought a package of Pyramid Pile Cure for my wife who bad suffered very much. The first trial did her more good than anything she had ever tried. It is just as represented. From Richard Loan, Whipple, Ohio: I have used the Pyramid and am entirely pleased and satisfied with results. It docs the work and no mistake. Mr. W. R. Hines of Magnolia, ark., says: Al- though I bave used the Pyramid Pile Cure onl very short time, yet it has been very benefici me. From Mra. Peter Leke, Mohawk, N. Y.: I re- ceived the Pyramid Pile Cure, but put off using it until last week, when I became so bad I decided to try It. I have suffered twenty-nine years with bleeding piles and have used a great deal of medi- cine, but never had anything that did so much for me as your remedy. ‘The proprietors of this remedy could publish columns of similar letters to the above !f neces- sary, but these are enough to show what {t will do in different cases. ‘The Pyramid Pile Cure {s prepared by the Pya- amid Drug Co., of Marsball, Mich., and for sale by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package. One package is sufficlent to cure any ordinary case. our druggist will tell you more about it, w ‘| treasurer, an@ Mr. Theodore Krake, ser- party was chaperoned by Mrs. J. F. McCor- mick.
