DISTBICT HOIKS.
Powers of the Board of Health.
A "petition was presented to the Commissioners
yesterday from the citizens residing on Virginia
avenue, adjacent to Carroll Spring, asking that
orders be tlven the contractors who are grading
in that locality to lower the water mains leading
from this spring to supply the pumps on second
street, so that the usefulness or the spring will
not oe Interfered with by the new grade. Tols Is
one of the best springs In the District, and con
siderable txpense has heretofore been madebr
the corporation of Washington to protect the
spring, and make It accessible to the public The
Commissioners promised to give the matter at
tention. HI BOIHD OT HEALTH COmOTTZS.
Dr. Verdi and Professor Langiton,or the Board
of Health, were before the District Commission
ers to ask that soma action be taken by them to
have the crop of weeds on open lots and commons
cut; also, that the supervision or the cleaning or
the streets and alleys be turned over to the
BoardofHealth, to be by them put under the
corps or sanitary Inspectors, with a view to a
more perfect sanitary service. The bad condi
tion of the alleys was, alluded to by Dr.Vnrdt.
when Lieutenant Hoxle and Commissioner Phelps
reminded them that this was the fault or the gar.
bage service.
Dr. Verdi stated that the duty of the garbage
men was to remove garbage from vessels where
It is placed by the Inhabitants, and not remove It
from the ground where It was thrown.
Lieutenant Uoxie thought It was within the
province of the Board or Health to compel the
citizens to keep the garbage In vessels and to
prevent the throwing or It in the alleys. He
stated that the alleys are promptly and properly
cleaned In accordance with the terms or the con
tract, and that the Inspectors made official re
ports to his office promptly after each cleaning.
Governor Dennlson said the proposition to
change the supervision of this duty would divide
the responsibility, and as the law made It the
duty of the engineer to have control or this ser
vice the change could not be made, as he had no
power to delegate his authority or responsibility.
The subject of draining and filling vacant lots
was next Introduced, as to the powers or the board
In the premises, but no conclusions were reached.
Gov. Dennlson remarked that ha could'not under
stand how It was that the regulations had always
been so Indefinite In this matter. In other cities
the owners or such lots are compelled to fill them
up or drain them. As to the cutting orthe weeds,
he did not think the Commissioners could author
ize the expenditure or any money for that pur
pose. The force of clerks under the superintendent or
assessments and taxes are busy making up the
numerical books, and It Is expected they will
complete this work by the middle or September.
These books, when completed, will show a sepa
rate list of church, school and other property ex
empt from taxation.

PBOHErTADE COHCBRTS.
Ho Talking while the Band flays.
Editor national Rejmtllan:
A friend and myself have been a few evenings
this summer to the Smithsonian grounds, and to
the Prldent's, to hear the Marine Band. I seed
hardly say we came away disappointed.
Mr Dsab Sib: We went to hear the muslo
tela ro sansclf re. This Is what we heard Instead
Children crying, nurses chattering (as our ances
tors did before Adam) In response to laughing
compliments from the mala'of the species : people
who In appearance were girted with a fair supply
or brains, carrying on conversations with more
than a fair expenditure or lung-power. All this,
aye more, but not the music.
Mr. Editor, as you have the ear or the public,
won't you tell them how much more they would
enjoy the possession of that useful apparatus ir
each one would but keep silence during the per
formance. Please tell them that It is Impossible
to appreciate any music unless strict attention Is
paid to it, and that It Is difficult to pay attention,
and more difficult to catch the shades of expres
sion which a good leader Imparts to the muslo of
bis band, unless all extraneous noises cease.
Those of us who have had the pleasure of
attending Mr. Theodore Thomas' concerts,
and who know that gentleman's habit when
a little conversation takes place during
his performances or music, (how quickly, and
with what authority, he irepresses noise) can
Imagine what his reelings would be If compelled,
as the Marine Band is, to play to a crowd that
are "like the dear adder, that stoppeth her ears,
and refuseth to hear the voice of the charmer,
charm he never so wisely." A portion or the
press of this city, have been loud In abuse of the
Marine Band, and their leader, who came to
them with a well-established reputation. Both
they and he are working under adverse circum
stancesunder circumstances that forbid the pos
sibility ol success.
Please, Mr. Editor, ask the babies and noisy
boys and girls to stay away Tor one week from
tbe concert; and if they will only comply once,
I don't think they will ever be allowed again to
annor those whom you will have benefited.
OBIT0AB7.
Mrs. Elizabeth Sullivan "Whitintr.
We were called to announce the sudden death
of the widow orthe late Hon. George C. Whiting
which occurred In this city oa the 23th ultimo.
The departure of Mrs. Whiting was sudden; more
unexpected and startling to her family than to
her. She had been for some time an Invalid, but
was submissive to Uie will of her Heavenly
Father; qultly entering upon all the duties her
widowed condition required at her hands. Con
stant In her religious duties; faithful and sensi
ble In her relation to her family and to the com
munity. In tbe Interest ol which her life had been
spent, she felt no apprehension as the hour or her
departure came near.
Tho deceased appreciated the trials to which
others had been subjected, and her sympathies
were alive to their necessities. Her unobtrusive
manner, quick perception or what was right aud
what was wrong, her unfailing fidelity as a wife,
a mother, and a friend; marshalled a host ol
mourners at the announcement or her departure
hence. The writer, nnder a sense or gratitude for
kindness experienced at thehandsef her departed
husband, and of ber uniform courtesy from her,
finds a mournful pleasure In hanging this hum
ble chaplet upon the widow's hallowed urn. To
relations and friends she appeared lnthe language
or the poet and actor In turn, at once beautiful
and true:
"Why werp ye then for herwho having run
The bound of one'e appointed years at last.
Life's bleeslen all enjoyed, life's labors done.
Sen nely to ncr final rest fcas paased.
U bllst the soft memory of ber vlrtnes vet
Ltngerr, like twilight hues when the bright sen
basset." .
A FntixD.
Captain Samuel C. Greene.
A notice of the death of this officer appeared In
the Natiohax EEPCBLicAit on Monday morn
ing last. Captain Greene was one of the survl
vcrsofthe Mexican war, where he served with
much credit. He was a native of Pennsylvania,
but resided for some years In Buffalo, New York.
Promptly In response to the call or President
Lincoln, Captain Greene appeared In Washing,
ton and tendered his services In whatever ca
pacity they might be considered most useful.
He was sent to Captain A. Beckwltb, post com
missary who, solitary and alone, was feeding the
numerous and promiscuous raw levies that were
then rapidly making their appearance here, and
greatly needed Intelligent and experienced as
sistants. Captain Greene entered his office, and
made himself so useful that he was retained In
the office at this post until the close or the war.
He was commissioned as a first lieutenant In the
Fifteenth Infantry, May 14, 1881, upon the reor
ganization of the army, but was detailed as Act
ing Assistant Commissary of Subsistence. When
shortly altcrwards he was promoted to a cap
taincy of tbe line he proposed to loin his regi
ment In the field, but was persuaded that his
services were ot greater importance In tbe sub
sistence department, and accordingly remained
upon that duty.
Captain Greene superintended the construction
ot the mammouth bread ovens In the basement or
the Capitol and on tbe river front, which supplied
the Army or the Potomac with "sort" bread, and
took commendable pride In his ability to ration
that entire army with this luxury at short notice.
Bis devotion to duty throughout, tended greatly
to Impair his health, and he was ordered South
lor staff duty with tbe military commandants,
and served as Inspector-General at various posts
notably, Mobile and Montgomery, Alabama, and
Vlcksburg, and other points In Mississippi. After
those States were rehabilitated under the recon
struction laws. Captain Greene went to Texas
with his regiment, and while there, was stricken
with paralysis, which disabled falm from the per
formance of military duty, and he was placed
upon the retired list. He never fully recovered
from this shock, although he was for a year or
two able to get about the slr.-ei s He has resided
In this city during the last three years. About a
year ago Captain Greene was laid utterly pros
trate by paralysis of the left side, since which
time he has kept his room In hourly expectation
that death would release him from trouble. He
died on Saturday morning, and on Sunday, dur
ing the violent storm, was laid away Dy his
brother officers In a soldier's grave. Captain
Greene was twice married, the last time to an
estimable lady of Vlcksburg, Mississippi,' who,
with a little daughter, survives him.
AMUSEMENTS.
Ford's Opera Home Haverlr's Minstrels.
The audience at Ford's Opera House last night
was a large one, and society was very well repre
sented. Haverly's minstrels are voted popular
and successful, and their season bids fair to be
one of great pleasure to the publlo and profitable
to the management. The programme Includes
a vocal and Instrumental concert, songs and
dances by Primrose and West, admirable artists;
the temale Impersonations of Mr. Burton Stan
ley; the aged negro specialties or Milt. G. Bar
low, who, la his delineations. Is original and true
to life; the banjo performances or Edwin Freneb,
which are very fine; a burlesque or the Jubilee
Singers; a stump speech by Senator Frank Bell,
and the laughable sketches oP'Beasley's Dog,"
and "Nip and Tuck." The audience was kept in
splendid humor throughout the evening.
The national Theatre Baker and Farron.
TneplayofHelnrichandHettlo,nls specially
constructed to display the talent of Baker and
Farron, In the delineation of the work assigned to
Dutsh specialty artists, and was written without
reference to Its permanoy in dramatlo literature,
and only to serve a present purpose. It Is, how.
ever, sufficiently deep, Interesting and natural to
suit the average play.goer, and to call for the best
dramatic work ofthe leading artists, and, In their
line, the stage has few. If any better than Baker
and Farron. Their long experience and talent
are combined In presenting to the public the very
best and highest forms of this class of entertain.
ment, and those who have seen them, those capa
ble or forming a true dramatlo opinion, aro
pleased with the play and the artists. It will be
repeated to-night.
The Theatre Comlqne.
Among the brilliant things In the programme
or the Theatre Comlque is tho triple dance or
Miles. Zoerner, Gammara and Kurtzwel. Their
costumes are in exceeding good taste, and their
dancing Is beautirul and astlstlc There lt no
feature at the excellent performance at the
Comlque better enjoyed by those who love a real
exhibition or art. Mr. Air. McDowell is giving
evidence ot bard study and the development of
decided talents The entire entertainment Is rich
in good things. A matinee this afternoon ilor
ladles and children. '
The Avenue Theatre.
The special features of commendation at the
Avenue Theatre are the eerio oomlc songs of Min
nie Lee, and tbe dancing of Mile. Carlotta. 'Miss
Lee has a good voles, personal beauty and taste
In dress, three things, rarely falling to the lot of
a "aerlo oomlo vocalist." Uarlottva dancing Is
grscefulfinlshed and artistic, meriting applause.
Fannie Florence wisely has the leading role In
the "Poor Girl of Washington," and Miss Jessie
Howard plays with force and spirit the character
