4 TAR. THE EVENING § WASHINGTOD CHOSRY s. NOYES. ‘dhe Evening Star bona fide daily circulation more than treble that of any other daily paper a Washington, and much greater t at ef all the other daily papers bere added together. Im another column of te-day’s paper will be found a communication In regard to the swindling building Hien law now in force fm this District, ‘which should be attentively read by every person interested in the growth and prosperity of Wash- ington, and especially by Members of the two houses of Congress, In whose hands the destinies Of the national capital so largely rest. The writer 4s a retired army surgeon, who concelved the natural idea that, with a house of his own, fasti- toned according to his individual taste, life might be passed very pleasantly in Washington; but he sound, as Will be seen by his letter elsewhere, that the road leading to the reallzation of his hopes ‘Was a troublous and costly one, and his experiences ‘were such as to deter rather than encourage others having like thoughts in mind. Indeed, hard as his Jot was, It is easy to understand that it was due more to good luck than to the protective provisions of the law in question that he ‘was not despotied of much larger sums by those to Whose cruel mercy he was exposed. The law, as construed in {ts operation and intent by those familiar with its provisions, certainly affords ample opportunity for still farther extortions, either through the negligence or raseality of those ‘with whom he had to deal. In view of the facts presented by Dr. Head, to say nothing of the pos- sibilities for downright swindling under the law, it {$a most surprising thing that it should ever have been passed; and it 13 still more surprising that objection should be made in any quarter to a modification of some of its most indefensible pro- ‘visions, * ~ Feat ee Buffalo's shaking-up on the subject and by the ageney of natural gas has set the whole world talking of the perils of using this cheap and con- venient form of fuel. The destruction of property on Thursday bas caused many to jump to the con- clusion that the natural gas furore has seen its day, and that public confidence has been irrevocably lost, It may be remembered, however, that when, as lately as 18%, the common councils of Philadelphia ha@ voted to introduce aato that city the artificial illuminating gas now everywhere used, @ protest, signed by hundreds of the leading citizens, was handed in against this “most inexpedient, offensive and dangerous mode of lighting,” the memorialists declaring that their denunciation was “fully sustained by the ac- counts of explosions, loss of life and great destruction of property where this mode of lighting has Deen adopted.” The agitation im that instance was kept alive by the dealers in candles, Llluminating olls, and spirits, till, by con- Unual improvements of methods on the part of the akers, the cause of complaint was removed and thetr product came to be considered far better for its purpose than anything else in the market. ‘Tue gas-makers, in their turn, held out for a long time against the electric-lighting systems, and still enjoy magnifying the dangers thereof; but the only answer of the elec- tric-light Inventors 1s to improve their Machinery and to put their wires further ‘ut of harm’s way. Probably a similar process of development will be observed in the cise of natural gas. Now, before mechanics and engi- neers have learned how to adjust their apparatus So as tocontrol a varying pressure over which they have no control, we are likely to hear of many accidents. But these will grow fewer as time goes on and the gas comes tobe more thoroughly understood. ‘There 1s scarcely any limit to the ingenuity of man, and as long as nature continues to supply forces in abundance, he cam be counted on to devise an adequate har- ness for them. Se ——— Mr. Contractor Draney will find that he ts very much mistaken If he thinks the public will tolerate his view, as indicated in yesterday's Stan, that Lecause one nuisance 13 to be stopped a still greater one fs to be permitted. It will be remembered tnat he holds that if the garbage-gatherers are not al- lowed to bellow their useful but not very attrac- tive calling in all the streets and alleys of the city, regardless of other people’s rights and comfort, then slop and garbage must De exposed at front doors or on the side- ‘Woks, of citizens will have no cause for complaint if it be not removed. This method 1s not at all necessary, OF should it be permitted for a single day. There ts no excuse for either noise of nolsome xposure in connection with the matter, The one 4s generally disturbing and often dangerous to persons who are not directly concerned with the visits of the slop man, and the other 13 both uusightly and” unhealthy. ‘The gatherers know perfectly well where they are required or expected to call in the dis. charge of their duty, and all they have to dois to Ying im the usual manner the door-bell of each particular house where their attention is supposed to be needed, and ascertain, as oter people do in @ quiet and*respectrul manner, whether or not thelr services are required for the tme being. ‘This will answer every end in view, without offending the auricular, visual or olfactory sensi Dillties of any one, and without endangering the pubile health, $+ A paragraph is going the rounds of the press to ‘the effect that “Mr. Mayall, the celebrated Eng- lish photographer, has perfected a process for pro- ducing photograpas tn color, absolutely true to nature.” It would be of interest to know where ‘Uuls story Wook its start; then one could judge bet- ter of its accuracy. Some four years ago the setentific world wasstartied by asimilar announce. ment concerning one M. Baudran, an ar- st of Versailles, but when a committee of experts examined his work, they found that ad of waving the colors laid by nature upon huis sensitized paper, he laid them oa by hand, mixed with albumen, at suck a stage ta the print. Ang process that the print of outlines, high-lghts, shades and gradations was made upon the colored Paper instead of the colors being laid upon the Print. ‘This gave the complete picture a very Bavural look, and the invention was the wonder of $day until the secret was found out. While photographing colors is among the possibilities of ‘the future, no reported discovery in that line thus Jar has stood the test of close investigation. ‘The ‘Dest that has yet been brought to light 1s the pre. else reproduction of what ts technically designated 4s the “values” of a picture, so that a colorist with akeeneye for variations in shades would know exactly how to mix his pigments and in what ‘Quantities to apply them. a Kansas City is stirred to its center by the agita- Con of the question Whether the public morals are Bot endangered by allowing school-boys to play quarbles “for keeps.” The principals of the scnools have had @ meeting and discussed tt, one party holding that the game ts oue of hazard, and that Xs influence upon plastic-minded youth must be Pernicious; the other contending that it is pri- qnarily @ game Of skill, and that tt tendsto educate @ lads faculty for taking life as it comes ‘The boys, especially the poor players, are ready ‘o testify that such marble-playing does not re- sult Like a lottery according to chance, and on the cher hand very few are able to regard itas a part ‘of the educational course. If elther one or the other of these views must be entertained to give ‘The schools authority to decide this question of quorals, bovh boys and parents will be apt to raise Rnally the question of Jurisdiction. It is, how- ever, refreshing Wo see an American city thoroughly Jnverested In and enthusiastic over a great moral aqaestion, even to the disregard of the merits and Gemerits of the tari and other exciting political Jnatters which now apsorb some of our cities ‘Which move upon a lower plane. ———— ———— With the advent of settled warn weather comes ‘The Orst of the year’s fresh fruit into our markets, ‘Tne supply is not plentiful as yet, but each day ‘Drings us nearer to the time when it will ff the markets to overflowing. There is need of remind. 4ng the public generally to take care in what con- dition their fruit is when they eat it, When sound and fit for food tt is wholesome and agreeable, ex pecially im those seasons of the year when ‘the THE EVENING STAR: Best Banoarss Tus Seasox, Mas De Sans, o M4 tat ROVAL BARGAIN LIST FOR MONDAY, MAY 14.
