THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.C.. TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 188 ¢ ANOTHER GRAND CHARITY. Mr. Drexel Will Provide Training: for : 1,000 Girls and 1,000 Boys. From the Philadelphia fuquirer, Today. A. J. Drexel has changed his plan for the es- tablishment of the Drexel industrial institute, for which grounds were purchased at Wayne, and will found the same within the city limits. His first thought was that he would establish an industrial college exclusively for girls, in which they should be instructed and trained in such way as to help them to employments and occupations in which they could earn a liberal living. Accommodations and facilities for housing, boarding and training about 200 girls were to be furnished, and to this end land and buildings were purchased at Wayne ond archi- tectural plans were prepared by competent architects, After more mature deliberation it was found that this scheme had several drawbacks, the chief of which was the withdrawal of girls from home influence. It is now the purpose o! Mr. Drexel to provide funds to purchase land and construct buildings and for the mainten- ‘ance of a full corps of instructors for an indus- trial institute for young women and young men in the city. It is to accommodate, for their + instruction and training, as many asa thousand girls in daytime and a thousand boys at night. | The facilities and instructions are to be free of cost to the students forever. The working rations of the college will probably be some- what similar to those of the Cooper institute in New York. A large lecture hall, capable of seating 2,000 persons, and an extensive readin; room, provided with all the useful technical and other books and appropriate periodicals and newspapers of the day, will be features of the plan. Mt. Drexel expects the foundation lands and buildings aud endowment of the institution may cost a million and a half of dollars. — STATE WORK AT JOHNSTOWN. ‘The Money Guaranteed by the Governor for Sanitary Purposes Used.

A New York Heratd London special says yes- terday a petition was sent to Home Secretary Matthews in the interest of a commutation of the sentence of Mrs. Maybrick. The petition is also addressed to all the members of parlia- | ment, the editots of the newspapers and peri- odicals of Great Britian and *‘to all men whose public infinence, published letters or public statements have had influence, great or small, in one way or the other upon the fate of Mrs. Maybrick.” It then proceeds: “Gentlemen, it is the purpose of this article to ask you certain questions which you ought to answer and which you must answer to your- selves as upright men should they fall under youreye. They are based entirely upon the evidence given at the trial of Mrs, Maybrick. If you have not a sufficient knowledge of the evidence in the case to answer these questions it will be well for you to hereby learn that fact before you take any further action of any kind in the matter.” The questions yunded, fifty-three in number, go over alk tee important toa curious questions raised during the trial, especially the points of evidence calculated to throw doubt pon the question of Mrs. Maybrick’s guilt. The questions also refer pointedly to the evi- dence tending to show that Mr. Maybrick was in the habit of taking arsenic. Another London despatch says: Home Sec- retary Matthews is awaiting further medical reports before coming to a decision in the May- brick case, The reports will be submitted to- day. The ‘liamentary petition in behalf of Mrs. Maybrick has been signed by ninety-one members of the house of commons. ———_eo MURDERER’S BURIED TREASURE. About $15,000 Supposed to be Secreted Somewhere Near San Antonio. From the San Antonio Times, Not loug ago the columns of the Times con- tained an account of the death by his own hand of Riscke, the German gluemaker who was arrested in this city last year for a cold- blooded murder committed in Germany. The arrest and extradition of Riscke created agreat sensation at the time. After he had been sur- rendered by the United States authorities to the agent of the German government he was taken to New York, but on the way jumped from the train on which he was traveling and attempted to drown himself in the river.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN AUSTRALIA: A Correspondent Thinks that the Out- look is Fairly Bright. ‘From the Woman's Journal. The position of the woman's suffrage ques- tion in Australia is about as follows: There exist in Melbourne, the capital of the state of Victoria, two woman's suffrage societies, which labor to leaven public opinion. A large portion of the influential press favors woman's vote, and the present premier favors the vote for woman, but declines to bring forward a bill because the women as a mass have shown no desire for the suffrage, In Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, there does not exist any society in favor of woman's suffrage, but the premier, Sir H. Parks, K.G.C.M.G., is a pro- nounced believer in woman’s vote, and pub- | licly declares he will bring in a bill to en- franchise women when he can find an oppor- tunity. In Queensland there exists a woman’s suffrage society, founded by Miss Chewings of Adelaide, and work is being done for the cause in the education of public opinion. A portion of the public press favor the enfranchisement of women as do some of the members of parlia- ment; but no leader in that state has declared | for the women, In Tasmania the question has not attracted any public attention, nor in west- ern Australia, though Adelaide friends have sent literature and have sought to arouse effort. In South Australia there exists a woman suffrage league. President. D. Sterling; sec- retaries, Mrs. Lee and Mr. M. Lennan of Ade- laide, This league has branches and has done considerable work. The Register, the chief newspaper of the state, supports woman's cause, and oS do nine-tenths of Ger rari ai papers. The religious press, that is, the Christian Colonist and Methodist Weekly, are both heartily for woman's vote. The South Australian Wesleyan conference passed a vote in favor of parliamentary suffrage for women. Mr. Caldweh, M.P., introduced a bill last ses- sion which passed the second reading in the lower house, that is, the assembly, by a major- ity ot two, but it to be laid aside because it amends the constitution, and this can only be done by an absolute majority of the whole honse, and similarly of the upper house or | senate. Our legislature meets every year, and the bill will be introduced again almost directly, and this is now June, 1889, At present woman suffrage has the strongest hold on South Australia of any of the Austral- ian states and it is likely to become law in this | state first. South Australia always leads the van in radical politics, for she was founded by Congregationalists and Baptists, and so is full of the notion of human rights. The religious journals of Australia, as a whole, are largely in favor of woman suf- be expected, are strong for the women. ‘The | granting of the county yote to women in | England and Lord Salisbury’s speeches have greatly affected Australian public opinion. There can be no doubt that the movement | makes rapid way.

From the New York Herald. The subject under discussion was the fre- quency of divorces among actors and actresses. Everybody had had his say about it. The actor took his inning last. He plays comedy, and tion in serious thinking. “I take it for granted,” he began, “that human nature averages about the same in all pursuits. So far as concerns the raw ma- terial of which they are composed actors and actresses are neituer better nor worse than other folk. “But they are exposed to more temptations of the sort that play the mischief with matri- monial felicity than are people engaged in the ordinary avocations of life. That's the long and short of it, let the ‘unco’ guid’ say what they please. ‘ “One of the most frequent sources of the troubles that lead to appeals to the divorce court is the long separations between husbands and wives necessitated by engagements in dif- ferent companies, “Iv is a melancholy fact that most managers don’t like to have husbands and wives in the same company unless they are well acquainted with their dispositions.

From the London Sunday Times. It is significant that of all the nationsof Europe, except the Spaniards, Englishmen are the worst at continental languages, There are good reasons for this, of course, but none the less it isa reproach to us, Even some of our most brilliant statesmen of modern times have been unable in conferences abroad to discuss the matter under consideration in any living language but their own. Foreigners say that we are too proud to learn, and that, like the Greeks, we consider every tongue we do not understand “barbarous.” Others sneer at us and declare that our own language is so uncouth that we are unable to master either the softer or the more refined dialects of our neighbors, Be this as it may, it is beyond all dispute that as a nation we are not polyglots, It is ay a small proportion of Englishmen who can hold a con- versation with well-educated foreigners in language as polished and exact as they them- selves use, Yet how different it is abroad! The “Lat tions, such as the French, Italians and oo are not, asa rule, good linguists, speak anything, aad their Eugiish & ston irve- anything. and their 2 posenabis. fi is the same with Belgians, ratchmen, Germans, Austrians, Norwegians and Swiss. Even in Alexandria or Cairo, Bombay, Shanghai, or Yokohama the na‘ speaks Anglo-Safon so naturally, so easily, and with such admirable command of idiom that trcirheena! is credence 2 the reason for our inferiority in languages is really pride, ‘insular pride,” as our ne bors always call it, the sooner we get rid of it the better. Every year continental travél is becoming more popular among us than ever, and though it is possible to “get slong some- how” without the slightest knowledge of the language of the country, it is certain that the merest nearer fs French and German goes @ great way in making the journey more agree- able and less expensive than it would otherwise be. Where we find “English spoken,” we usually have to pay heavily for the Inxury of hearing our native tongue tortured. There is, however, @ more important consideration than a little extra imposition by foreign guides and shopkeepers. We are actually being told that we must speak the language of our neighbors, unless we wish our neighbors to come over here and take our business from us. As it is, the transfer of commercial work from English to German and Greek clerks is very note- worthy, and London is, in consequence, fast attracting to it colonies of these nationalities as large as those of New York. If, on the other hand, we as a nation find it difficult to acquire other languages, there is all the more reason, some people say, for redoubling effort. We have got todo it, we are told, and the sooner we set about it the better. But we cannot help thinking that there are possibilities in the situation which these ay- thorities do not recognize. For, after all, French is not so overwhelming a necessity, nor German, nor Italian, nor anything else—except Hindostani. Good men, and wise and brilliant have lived ana gone down to their graves inno- vent of any speech but their own native Anglo- Saxon, Britain has been proud of them, Europe atraid of them, They thought—and there was patriotism in it—that English was good enough for anybody. If others could not understand itso much the worse for them. They must learn itor goto the wall. Nor can there be much donbt on this point—that if Americans, Australians, Anglo-Indians—in fact, all the English-speaking communities of the earth— refused obetinately to talk any other lan- guage than their own, everybody else would have to learn English, © The commerce of the world cannot go on without Let the traveler stop where he chooses, he will find the Greek. the Jew and | the Scotchman carrying on busiuess. The: transact it, however, in English aud throug! an English firm or an American one, Smaller branches of trade fall to the Frenchman, the | German and the Italian—the Porcuguese, as a rule, occupies himself with the leavings of the rest —but each and all have acquired for prac- tical mercantile reasons a sufficiency of Eng- lish to make himself understood. So wh: should we not strike? There is nowadays oak! a bewildering quantity of knowledge necessary that we might refuse on principle to “go in for” languages at all, and insist upon our own being recognized as the lingua franca of the universe. Such a proceeding would, of course, be odiously insular; but what of the! e cannot nap being insular, and if our neigh- bors, who tind they are unable to make a living unless they learn our language. choose to sneer at us for not knowing theirs, let us humbly confess we cannot—and not try to do so. From the London Daily Telegraph. There is a veritable rage for panoramas just now in Paris, and an astute caterer for public favor has taken advantage of the taste to bring over a replica of the view of the Falls of Ning- ara which has proved such a success in Loudon, Mr. John Hollingshead, who is the chairman of the company formed for working the enter- rise, has hired a large plot of ground on the logne, close to the gilded gates that form the | entrince to the wood and opposite the Porte- Dauphine station of the Metropolitan rail- way. The ground is about an acre in extent, | so that there is ample room for the large gar- den that encircles the building in which the anorama is erected. The edifice has been uilt from the designs and under the superin- tendence of Mr. Tyler, the architect of the Westminster house.” The French panorama is some three feet higher than the Euglish one, but it is quite similar except that the entrance is more ingeniously masked by an artificial mound that merges into the painting, The art- ist is sl. Philippoteaux the younger, who painted the Westminster picture and assisted his father in the celebrated yanorama of the siege of Paris —the precursor of the recent paintings of this class—whereiu natural objects are made to biend with their pictorial presentments, In the new panorama there are. for instance. certain telo- graph wiresso artfully disposed that it is almost impossible to say where the metal ceases and the painted lines begin. This is a trifle, but it helps to complete an illusion which is reully of Hungarian sipsies played and sang today, and it is the intention of Mr. ee preg who has brought ail his experience to bear on the enterprise, to make the garden of the Chutes de Niagara pleasant lounge for the thousands who regularly take their afternoon drive in the Bois and [ike to have what is here known as ‘Le 5 o’clock”— in other words “‘a cup of tea”—on their way out or home. There is also a restaurant at- tached to the buildings, so that visitors may have at Niagara the more substantial meals of lunch and dinner. Certain confectioners shops in Paris are every afternoon crowded with peo- ple athirst for tea, and it is quite possible that many promenaders may prefer the fresh air to be found in the neighborhood of the Bois to the close smell of the stuffy streets. cabemmeevr™ rans The Baggage Man at Chautauqua, From the Assembly Herald The walk and talk man strolled into the bag- gage room at the pier and ventured the ques- tion, “How's business?” ‘Lively, beyond any- thing we have ever scen at Chautauqua.” Two or three men were trundling trunks, and four or five drays, each loaded with from eight to fifteen trunks, were starting out for various parts of the grounds, and there was work — before them to keep them busy until midnight. Something was said about the num- ber of pieces they received each week, and Mr. Herrick, the gentleman in charge, found by consulting his books that during the first week they received an average of 100 trunks a day, During the second week the average was over 200 a day, while during the first four days of last week they delivered 1,462 truuks and over 200 valises.

Wold by Btorekeepers, Grocers, and Druggist, LIEBIO’S EXTRACT OF MEAT 00., Ld, 36a, al Tae nears THE EVENING STAR ts a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY por of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS 1 |than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to print each day a full report of every transaction of public ine | terest occurring in the District up - the very hour of going to press. 302 By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the diflerence of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTER) HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o'clock miduight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news trom hurope, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. 03 Equally docs THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWs OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own vflice to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and wamiet in the United States and Terrie tories, it is enabled to receive and priot atonce a full report of every event of comsequence occurring during the day anywhere between the AUantic aud Pa= cific Uceans, , 203: @ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 (auhaatiiaianinds THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILGERS and MORE THAN BIVE TIM&tS AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON, It ts de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSU- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It ts in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGELHER, Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrous, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST iN THE CITY. —0: — In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in thetr examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. 2 The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cire culation of the paper was: In 1885. Equally significant is the showing tm regard to the advertising patronage ef the paper, which is the surest of its acknowledged value as a of publicity. Thenumber of NEW AD- VERTISEMENTS printed in the col- umos of The Star during the first six months of the years named was as fol- lows: In 1885.. “ 1886. “ 1887. “ 1888. “ 1889.
