MAlgS SUGGESTED T0E PEE
VENTING SPmRAD 01 DISEASE.
Lecture by Dr. W. C. Woodward, Dis
trict Health Offlcer-One
of Series.
The health department and the Associated
Charities have provided for a series of lee
tures, the first of which was given last
night at the Zion Baptist Church, F street
between 3d- and 4% streets southwest, by
Dr. William C. Woodward, the District
.health officer, on the "Prevention of Con
sumption." Mr. Charles F. Weller, general
secretary of the Associated Charities, fol
lowed Dr. Woodward with remarks along
the same lines, with illustrated stereopticon
views. Admittance to the lecture last night
was free, and there will be no charge to
any of those which will follow.
"If the people here tonight had 000 or
700 dead before them," Dr. Woodward said,
"they would be horrified and shocked. You
can imagine the youngest and oldest, the
poor and wealthy, all dead from one cause.
Every year that number die of consumption
In the District of Columbia, and there are
probably one hundred times that many who
are suffering from it.
"The germs of consumption are abundant,
and are found all over the civilized world,
principally in crowded dwellings. They can
exist in all animals-as cows and sheep
and ohickens are also subject to consump
tion, and we can contract the disease from
them, but the germs have no power, and
cannot get into the atmosphere as long as
they remain In the liquid. I might say that
It is not necessarily dangerous to associate
with a consumptive if he does not talk too
forcibly in front of your face, and he is not
dangerous as long as he takes care of the
material which carries the disease with It,
but he is dangerous when expectorating,
and if he Is careless he will scatter disease
and death wherever he goes.
Due to Growth of a Germ.
"Consumption is due to the growth of a
germ. The disease is communiacted from
one person to another, or from lower ani
mals to human beings, through such germ.
Two conditions are absolutely necessary be
fore a person can develop the disease-the
germs of consumption must find their way
into the body, and the tissues of the body'
must be in such a condition as will permit
these germs to grow. The greatest danger
lies in the air we breathe, and many cases,
no doubt, occur from eating the fle'sh of
animals or the milk of animals suffering
from the disease, either uncooked or not
properly cooked.
"The greatest source of danger from a
consumptive is the matter which he spits
up. The material Is not very dangerous
when it is wet, but as soon as It dries it
finds Its way into the air, and, sooner or
later, the germs may find their way into
the system of some other person through
the breath or through food or drink."
In concluding, Dr. Woodward said It was
a good thing to have plenty of light and
air In houses, because the germs could ndt
exist under such conditions. He said that
the expectorated matter should be burned
Instead of being scattered broadcast.
The lecture was In charge of a committee,
composed of Rev. J. E. Wiseman, W. H.
Hunter and W. S. Duffield.

Happily the name of the special service
Florida train of the Southern Railway
Company-"The Southern's Palm- Limited"
-as announced last season, was an instan
taneous and general success. This, not
only on account of the appropriateness of
the name, but on account of the superiority
of the service and punctual schedul, per
formance of this train.
The management has great pleasure in
announcing that for the coming season this
train will be even more excellent than it
was last season, so that every patron of
"The Southern's Palm LimiteG* will have
a most delightful journey.
Composed of Pullman compartment cars,
drawing-room sleeping cars, club cars,
library and observation cars. together with
the best examples of dining cars, all luxu
riously and artistically finisab~d and fur
nished, electric lighted, etc., this train 1vil
be, In reality, a modern hostelry on
wheels, in which one may occupy compart
ments singly or en suite.
The Southern Railway has extended Its
line Into Jacksonville, and the route of this
famous train this year will be, between
New York and Washington over the Penn
sylvania railroad, between Washington and
Jacksonville over the Southern Railway,
and between Jacksonville and St. Augustine
over the Florida East Coast Railway.
The Initial trip of "The Southern's Palm
Limited" will be with train leaving Wash
Ington 6:31 p.m., January 12, 1903.
In addition to the above train, the South
ern Railway operates two other high-class
trains between the east and Florida, leav
ing Washington 10:51 am. and 9:50 p.m.
daily.-Advt.
Board of Educationi Meets.
The board of education had a short meet

Miss Della White was appointed su1pstitute
music teacher in the ninth, tenth and elev
enth divisions. It was also announced that

THE MEUrAH.-George Frederl Han
del's immortal "Messiah"-ever new and in
spiring-was rendered by the Choral U0dty
bat evening In the Congregational Charb
before a brilliant audience which U1W
every seat in the large auditorikm.
was the sixteenth performance et the
by the society. Mr. Josef Kaspar desw9
high praise for the excellent interpretadtO
of this, Hande's masterpiece. He gets the
most beautiful effects from his singers, and
the shading throughout the entire work
left nothing to be desired. The society
never possessed so many really good voiced
as it does this year. This was particularly
noticeable in the bass section. An improve
ment over last year's arrangement of the
accompaniments was that in last night's
performance the solos were divided between
organ and piano, the organ takring the rect
tatives and sustained portions, while the
piano took the more elaborate figures. Mr.
Ernest T. Winchester played the organ witlh
his accustomed skill, and although un
familiar with the instrument gave fine sup
port to the singers. His rendering of the
overture was artistic, especially in the
fugue movement. The pastoral symphonf
was played with fine delicacy of registra
tion. Dr. Anton Gloetzner, the society's
regular accompanist, showed rare skill
ttihrbughout the evening, marvelous tech
nique and broad musicianship. In his ac
companiment of "Thou Shalt Break Them"
and "Why Do the Nations," it was hard
to tell who was creating more enthusiasm
he or the singer. The quartet of soloists
were above the average which come here
to sing with the Choral Society. Ericcson
Bushnell, the basso, has few, If any, equals
in the field of oratorio. He was in magnifi
cent voice last night, and had his hearers
up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm while
he so gloriously sung the numbers assigned
to the bass. This was his first appearance
here for two seasons. The tenor, Nicholad
Doughty, was probably a close second to
Mr. Bushnell, and the . applause whic
greeted his most artistic efforts showed the
high esteem In which he Is helA in Wash
ington. The soprano, Mrs. Hissem De Moss,
and the alto, Mrs. Dorothy Pollock, ard
newcomers, but both of these ladies are
artists of high rank, and gave the utmost
satisfaction to all who heard them. Thd
next work to be presented by the Choral
Society is "St. Paul," which will be given
February 10.
THE MUMMY AND THE HUMMING
BIRD.-John Drew. who is now in his elev
enth year as a star under Charles Froh
man's management, appears in Isaac
Henderson's drama of social llte at the
National next week. The play was pre
sented at the Empire Theater, New
York, .as its opening attraction for
this season, and remained at that
house for three months. The character of
"the mummy," so-called on account of Its
propensities for delving into chemical re
search, Is portrayed by Mr. Drew. The
man is so thoroughly absorbed In his work
that for a time he neglects his young and
pretty wife, who, bereft of the genuine love
that should be hers, takes up with the vil
lain D'Orelli, an Italian poet and literary
man, known as the "humming bird." Lord
Lumley suddenly awakens to the condition
of affairs and realizes the state of his con
jugal lethargy. When his wife plans to
elope with the libertine he' forgives her,
and when she flees from him a second time,
for very shame, he follows again, saves her
for a second time and admits his own neg
lect of her. A happy reunion follows, "the
humming bird" is left to the mercy of an
Italian street musician, who discovers In
him the despoiler of his own home in Sicily.
A CHINESE HONEYMOON.-Messrs Sam
S. Shubert and Nixon & Zimmerman will
give Washington its first chance to see the
much-talked of musical comedy "A Chi
nese Honeymoon" next Monday at the Co
lumbia Theater. The company is headed
by John 2. Henshaw, Belle Harper, Toby
Claude, Charles H. Prince, Ida Hawley, W.
H. Clarke, May Ten Broeck, Grace Vaughn,
Edward Clark, Edmund Lawrence, Frances
Knight, Geraldine Bruce and eighty others.
"A Chinese Honeymoon" possesses a story
full of amusing matrimonial complications,
escapades and intrigues. It is the work of
Howard Talbot and George Dance. During
the past summer, when the majority of
Broadway theaters were closed on account
of the intense heat, "A Chinese Honey
moon" at the Casino Theater was playing
to capacity business-something unusual for
a theater, even in New York city, and there
was no let-up in the crowds that assembled
at the Casino nightly, even after the regu
lar theatrical season opened.
HAGENBECK'S ANIMALS.-Oarl Hagen
beck's trained animals will be exshibited at
the Lafayette next week. The show comes
almost direct from the long run at the
New York Theater, New York, Baltimore
being the only other city that has beer
visited this season. This is Carl Hagen
beck's second American tour. He first
came to this country In 1893. At that time
his animals were on view at the world's
fair In Chicago, the Hagenbeck concession
being second only to the Streets of Cairo in
point of receipts during the seven months
that the fair was open. Later the shoW
was taken on tour and came to Washington
in 1894. This season's importation Is sim
Ilar In many respects, but marks another
sharp advance in the art of animal training.
There are In all 150 birds and beasts of va
rious sorts, all taught to do something--i
it is nothing more than sit still and com
plete some picture or tablea'ux. The morE
ntelligent animals have been trained to
perform difficult series of tricks. For this
engagement only the management of the
Lafayette announces daily matinees,
THE FLAJMING ARROW.-A sensational
melodrama of western life, by Lincoln .
Carter, entitled "The Flaming Arrow," will
be seen at the Academy next week, with
the usual matinees. The play will serve to
introduce the only Indian actress in the
world, Go-Won-Go-Mohawk, who claims to
be a direct descendant of the royal fa~miy
of the once famous tribe whose name she
bears, Miss Mohawk, who has but recently'
returned from a four-year European tour, Is
cast in "The Flaming Arrow" as a young
chief of the Arapahoe tribe, known as
White Eagle, who a't the opening -of the
play has but recently returned to his triba-l
home in the far west from. an eastern col
lege. The various characters are all In the
hands of capable actors, and the scenic In
vesture is said to be especially magnificent,
the locale of the play offering splendid in
ducements.
BU'ITERFIJIES EXTRAVAGANZA-The
Butterflies Extravaganza Company will be
the attraction at the Empire Theater next
week. Several high-class vaudeville fea
tures will be offered, chief among themr be

"I have heard much in mty day of cruelty
to animals," said a wel-known citizen to
an Evening Star reporter, "and it is gen
erally condemned by all proper persons, ag
It ought to be, but not often have I heard
of kindness to animals-that is, kindness of
a daracter to attract attention. Possibly.
also., that virtue in a commodity so rare as
not often noticeable. I witnessed an in
stance of it a morning or so ago that chal
lenged my admiration.
"The incident occurred on the corngr of
1tS and E streets, just where that hill
leading to F street. begins. The asphalt
pavement was slippery at points with a thin
layer of lee, and up the Incline a patient
mule was endeavoting to- drag a heavy
wagon loaded with coke. The poor animal,
struggling with all its might, fell frequently
on its knees, and the coloAd driver, instead
of.being perched on the top ofthe load, tug
ging at the reins and yelling 'git up hon,'
as I have noticed so many drivers do, had
literally put his shoulders to the wheel and
was doing his beat to help the poor beast,
while a little darkey newsboy had laid his
papers aside, and, showing a whole world of
good intentions, at the other wheel. The
driver petted the poor mule; he loosened
the checkrein, patted him on the neck and
talked kindly to him, and at last got the
wagon turned around and went by another
route to wherever he'was going.
"If he had contented himself by just sit
ting perched up on the load of coke and
shouting 'git up hoe,' I expect he would
have been there yet, don't you?"

M~ilions of women use Cuticura Soap, assisted
by Cuticura Ointment, for preserving, purifying
and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp
of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening and
soothing red, rough and sore hands, in the form
of baths for annoying irritations, inflsammations
and 'ghanes, or too free or offensive perspiration,
in the form of- washes for ulcerative weaknesses
and many sanative, antiseptic purposes which
readily suggest themselves to women' and moth
eri, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath
and nursery.
No samount of persuasion can induce those who
have once used it to use any other, especially for
preserving and purifying- the skin, scalp and hair
of infants and ctildren. Cutieura Soap combines
delicate emollient -properties derived from Cuti
curs., the great skin pure, with the purest of
eleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of
Sower odours. No other medicated soap ever com
pounded is to be compared with it for preserving,
purifying end beautifying the skin, scalp, hat'r
.nd hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet
soap, however expensive, Is to be compared with
it for all the purpoees of the toilet, bath and
nursery. Thus it combines in one soap at one
price, the beet skin and complexion soap, the best
toilet, barh and baby soap in the world.

The Distuiet of Columbia branch of the
Thoanas Jferson Memorial Association of
the United States was organized at the Ho
tel Barton last e*vning, with the following
oefleerst lresident, Rev. L. K. McKim; vis
presidents, Dr. Waiter Wyman and Albert
A. Wilson; treasurer. Eldred 0. Davis; see
retary, Marshall W. Wines; esoutive oom
mittes, Frank EL Thomas, Thomas I. Wag
gaman, John P. Miller, Thomas W. Smith,
Dominic L Murphy, . W. Woodward,
Percy S. Foster, William F. Gude, Thomas
T. Taggart, William H. Collins and Lo
renzo S. Brown.
The president was authorized to' add to
the executive committee, which will be the
governing body, the officers of the associa
tion being members ex-officlo.
Dr. Ralph Walsh presided at the meeting.
which had a large attendance, and Walter
S. Wheatly acted as secretary. The na
tional association was represented by Gen.
John M. Wilson, vice president; A. A. Lips
comb and Horace Cummings of the board
of governors and W. S. McKean, secretary.
The meeting was addressed by the Rev.
. H. McKim, A. A. Lipscomb and others.
"Success seems assured," said the latter,
"and I am convinced that It will be but a
few years when the national capital will
have another magnificent structure to orna
ment its beautiful reservations, and the
world know- that at last a proper tribute
has been paid by the American people to
that great statesman and philosopher,
Thomas Jefferson, who, as Abraham Lin
coIn said, 'in the concrete pressure of a
struggle for national independence by a
single people had the coolness, forecast and
sagacity to introduce Into a mere revolu
tionary document an abstract truth, appli
cable to all men and at all times, and so
embalm it there that today, and In all com
ing days, it shall be a rebuke and a stum
bling block to the very harbingers of reap
pearing tyranny and oppression.'"
An active campaign for contributions to
the memorial fund will be inaugurated as
soon as the executive committee is organ
ized.

That is weak and incapable of performing its
