WHEN BATHING WAS ILLEGAL . from the Omaha lice. . Like other great refornvs physical and intellectual, the bathtub had to fight its way onward and upward in spite, of- the dirty habits of mankind, j Baths flourished Sh the ancient .Ron i an civilization, but cleanliness lost! out *n the Park <Ages. There has ever been a natural aversion to soar and '.water in combination in the hu-j man family, stronger the further j north peoples have lived. The first bathtub in the United States, an exchange says, was built in Cincinnati and installed in a homethere iii 1842. It was made of ma hogany, lined with sheet lead, and was proudly exhibited, by its owner at a' Christmas party. Next day it •was denounced £n the Cincinnati papers as. a luxurious, undemocratic vanity., Then came the medical men and declared it a menace to health. In 1843 Philadelphia tried to prohibit bathing between November 1 and March 1 5*- by ordinance- Virginia taxed bathtubs $30 a year. In 1846, Boston made bathing unlawful except when prescribed by a physician, and President Fillmore installed the first one ever in the White House. These things seem incredible in- an age when transient hotel accommodations include a bathroom, but sajiita- / tion is a recent bathroom. A south- 1 ' ern Ohio lawyer went to Columbus a few years ago, and when he registered at the hotel the clerk asked him if he wanted a room with bath. The . , - guest thoughtfully rubbed the stubble on his chin and replied: "No; I'll be home by Saturday." The other is that' of a newly -rich lady who was showing a friend of her days of poverty the very elaborate bathroom in her new home. It was a sizzling hot [ August night. "La, how you must ! enjoy that tub!" she exclaimed. "In- j deed I do," was the response. "I can , hardly wait for Saturday night to ■ eeme!" We are sufficiently civilized to be 1 'for the bathtub — with reservations the chief one being an instinctive 1 1 sympathy with the Frenchman who thanked God he had never insulted , his skin by putting cold water on it. j COMMUNICATIONS Editor Star and. Wave, ] Dear Sir:— * •I learn with satisfaction that a': movement toward the improvement j ' of the social life of the colored - citi- ' zens mf the community is now await- 1 ing thojipproval of the residents and \ aojournert-jn Cape May. In the old ' Q records of tnlr-seiigfons bo-lies -of the County evidence of the pastoral care) of the colored members 'is every ! i where evident. They were a part of' ' the congregation and received the j ministrations of the churches us well ■ ,. 'as the white people. I am glad ! to j! say that this is the case ir. '.he , Church of the Advent of which* I am' i rector, nor can I see how any Christian society can take a • different ' view. Some amcniBs-for long neglect . ought to be made by the community, j and I hope the present movement will meet With strong support. ! . Very truly yours, Paul Sturtevant Howe. It was with a great deal of interest { that 1 learned of the proposed plans ( for a Y. M. C. A. for the .colored race . of Cape May. The work itself speaks more eloquently, than I could,* for human Imtterment, especially for j tliose young men who idly t>r mis f chievously spend theih evening* for. „• .the. want of- something better to do i No one who calls himself a Christian will waste time and energy to criticize such a movement for these' young men. The triangular goals as ■* established and reached by the Y. M C. A. can produce nothing else but good. Its aims are not only a strong ' body, hut a, sound mind and a religi- ' ous soul* in a strong Infily: Such aj •jjiovement ought-tp have the . hearty 1 endorsement and nhnnrial coopers ! tion as far as possible of every per*' son of,thevcity ^regardless of creed or race. .
