4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: oe CROSBY &. NOYES..................Editer. THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local (Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Dicdiam 1» werth mere than all the other papers pubusned in Washington. — New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. —_———_—_—_—_ eee A correspondent tells in another column of ease in which through a mistake in description and through the failure of the law to provide for notice of a mechanics’ lien his property was encurabered by such » lien and remained #0 until mere accident disclosed the fact, Such amnoyances may be expected as long as ma- terial men are made a privileged class with the Power, substantially, of executing mortgages 4 other men’s property for their own benefit, on the strength of their own state- ment that they have furnished material to somebody by which the property owner Profits; and are not even required to give notice of an intention to look for pay- ment to the ‘property owner rather than the contractor, or to give notice of the filing of the Hien. The alleged indebtedness of the property owner to the material man, on account of which the latter helps himself to security, is often so indirect and shadowy, (as where the material man has dealt only with a contractor and the latter has been paid by the owner in full,) that the step from securing so dubious an indebtedness to the taking of security on some man’s property where no indebtedness at all exists is very slight. In the instance under consideration, however, the filing of the lien against our correspondent was a pure mistake, and the failure of the Iaw to provide for notice to the property owner prevented its immediate correction, Congress ought at the next session to amend the mechanic's lien law. The prop- erty owner should receive timely warning both of an intention to look to him for payment and of the fact of the filing of the lien. —— «# Mr. Armonr refused to appear before Senator Vest's investigating committee and tell about his dressed beef business, and he will accord- ingly be reported to the chairman of the Senate at the next meeting of that body. It is possible that the chairman will administer a public rep- rimand to Mr. Armour, and it would not be surprising to hear that the capitalist is feeling uneasy at the prospect of such severe punish- ment. Meanwhile, there are critical persons who will be at some loss to know what is the advantage of a congressional investigation which has to stop investigating as soon as any investigatee declines to be investigated by a particular investigator. A despatch from Rome states that the mili- tary authorities there have been experimenting very successfully with smokeless powder. This is not, however, the first test of the kind made by European governments. The inventor of the powder was a French general named Lebel, and his government very promptly took it up, but kept the secret of its manufacture closely guarded. Acountry chemist in Austria, one Falkenstein, made a journey to Paris on pur- pose to find out how the powder was made. He could not get a specimen, but happening to possess himself of a few exploded cartridges, found enough there to make a basis of experi- ment, and finally tarned out a quantity of the material, which he carried to the minister of war at Vienca, The minister sneered at the whole idea, on no better ground than that he “could not picture to himself a battleficld without smoke.” Falkenstein then went to Berlin with his device, which Count von Moltke positively snapped at. It is estimated that the slaughter wrought by this powder on the field will be four hundred per cent greater than heretofore. If itis adopted by France, Italy and Germany, the next general European war wiil have the clearest and cleanest battlefields known to history. Nobody can complain that the Pennsylvania democrats are not outspoken enough on the tariff question. They did not content them- selves with a mere allusion to the democratic national platform or the party's record, but went into details with a candor that is quite irresistible. The fightin the Keystone state, while some local matters will enter into it. will be largely made on the question how much or how little protection helps the workingman. SS ——— Tomorrow is the day fixed for what is called sn “international” race between oarsmen for the championship of the world. It will take place on the river Thames between a Canadian named O'Connor, the “American” champion, and an Australian named Searle, the “British” champion, We have reached a pretty pass in the physical development of our English- speaking race, when America must be repre- sented in such a contest by a subject of the queen, and England has to go to one of her antipodean colonies in search of a man to match against him, a The people of Massachusetts and Connecticut are now bestirring themselves to put their new ballot laws in force. They are not laws which execute themselves, but they require buildings and booths and machinery and furniture and stationery to be prepared a good while in ad- vance, Tho newspapers have already begun to stir up the authorities in both states, lest the eight weeks which lie between nowand election day be thoughtlessly permitted to pass, and the eud of them find the voters without a lawful means of expressing their preferences. oo Asnecessor to Brown-Sequard in public in- terest has arisen in France in the person of Dr. Briand of Villejuif, who has made a discovery which promises tu revolutionize the treatment of consumption. Noting that Siberia was won- derfully free from pulmonary diseases, he has been experimenting with cold air on consump- tive and asthmatic patients, and has cured those whom he has compelled to sleep in the open air in winter. Here we have Dr. Oswald's familiar fresh-air theory carried into a broad field and reduced to practical operation. Who will ven- tare to design a house for the coming man when it is daily becoming more and more un- certain whether he will inhabit one? $$ Frence is the Canada of Hayti’s ex-kings, to which they fly for refuge.

They are very exclusive, 1 $$$ ‘The 6th of October is set by one of the sec- ond adventist prophets as the date for the world to end, but no enterprising dressmaker has yet attempted to get up a corner in ascen- sion robes on the strength of the prophecy. oT ‘The new Chinese minister, though he is to bging his wife with him, will keep her strictly secluded from society. He has probably read some of the absurd stories priated in the out- of-town newspapers about the enthusiastic manner in which Americans attend receptions at the Chinese legation, and carry off thing they lay eyes on that is movable. oe Tt bas been remarked by all tra foreign parts that more English is the Europesn continent this year before.

When we originated this weekly sale of Remnants ‘about {seven yesrs ago it was somewhat in the nature of an experiment, but itapro- ‘Bounced success from the start clearly con- ‘vinced us that it should be permanent, and ‘that such a sale, conducted upon the pria- ciple of mutual interests and equity, would ‘be appreciated by our patrona. Although inaugurated seven years ago there are some who do not yet clearly understand the prin- ciples of these Remnant Salea, Let us ex- Plain again: If we buys line of Gloves, Hose, Under- ‘wear, Corsets or other garments snd sell all of that line except one or two sizes those sizes are Remnants and are offered the first coming Friday at a reduced price, If we buy a lot of Handkerchiefs, Notions, Blankets, Sheets, Quilts, or other merchan- ise, and sell all except a very small portion of them at sfeir profit, we mark-down the remaining quantity for the first Friday's sale, If we buy piece goods of any description ‘and sell all of the piece except a short end, we mark it down for Friday's sale, ‘We have fewer*‘Remnants” now probably ‘than during any part of the year, as we closed out the Short Lengths, Odd Sizes, &., of the summer goods while they were in sea- son, and, oz course, it is rather early for “remnants” in Fall goods, Nevertheless, ‘what we have are extra good value, as you wee by inspecting the various depart- ments, Take Dress Goods—here is the best picking.
