THE ’ THE EVENING STAR, _ WASHINGTO THE EVENING STAR has the tallest Leeal Cireulation ef any Newspaper in the W eria. end as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all tse etuct puyese puvusued in W nsbington. = ——- — New York Offce: Room 93, Tribune Building, The cordiality of their weleome, the comfort of their surroundings, the brilliant success of their parade, the perfect weather, the beauty of the city, and all the other conditions so favorable to the conclave have not missed their flect upon the governing body of the Knights ‘Templar organization, The hearts of its mem- bers have been softened toward the lowa knights lately in contumacy and the latter have been restored to the full rights and privi- leges of brotherhood. This incident is of itself sufficient to make the present conclave happily memorable. Socially, the White House reception was the eventof yesterday. Owing to the immense Dumber of guests it was obviously impossible for all to get a direct greeting from the host and hostess, The disappointed ones can make up for their loss by coming to Washington again in 1892, when the world’s fair is in pro- gress, and when they can sce the show as well 8 pay their respects to General Harrison. —— Jadge Day, whose decision in the Kemmler case upholds the constitutionality of the statute making electricity the mode of capital punish- ment in New York state, is only a county mag- istrate, so that his judgment counts for noth- Ing except asa check upon the immediate dis- charge of the convict on a writ of habeas cor- pas. The way he lays down the law, however, indicates that the judge has brought a clear | mind to the study of his duty. His Proposition, shorn of legal phraseology, is that a statute must stand until it can be aflirm- atively shown, beyond doubt, to be uncon- stitutional, which has not been done in the Present case. The conflict of testimony be- tween theexperts who appeared before the referee leaves the question of the rapidity and painlessness of the electric current as a death-dealer enveloped in a dense cloud of uncertainty, and the proper course now is to leave any change in the existing status to be made by the legislature. It is im- probable that the courts will resolve the uncer- tainty on this question of fact in a manner which may permit New York murderers since the passage of the electrocution law to escape | the death penalty altogether, and, on the other | hand, it is probable that the legislature will be called upon to reconsider at least that feature | ef the law which proposes punishment | to newspapers for reporting executions by electricity. The legislators may then de- cide again in view of the evidence taken in this coutroversy and in view of the object lessons furnished by frequent accidental deaths from electric wires, whether electricity can kill cer- tainly and quickly, or whether it is fatal only to involuntary and innocent victims and # tempered to the shorn convict inte harmless- ness. ———$— a Agrand jury in Chicago has so far taken notice of the prevailing discontent with the soft-coal smoke nisance as to bring in a spe- cial presentment against it, The result of let ting the smoke from a thousand brick and iron throttles loose upon a city is to rain its exter- nal beauty, and to detile the skin and linen and harass the temper of its inhabitants. Pittsbarg bas got rid of the nuisance by substituting Butural gas for coal, Philadelphia has made subs:antial improvements in her cond:tion, bus has still something to complain of in the per- Sistence with which sundry iocomotives allowed to enter her coutines stick to the nasty, soot- bearing fuel. What a glorious thing it must be for a denizen of one of these smoke-charged cities to visit Washington now and thea, and seeatown where the air is pure and clear, where only nature is permitted to blot out the view of the blue sky, and where the houses and the trees and the complexions of the peo- ple do not look as if an attempt had been made to age them, after the habit of antique cabinet dealers, by rubbing in lampblack! The death of another lineman in New York city, as the result of receiving a thonsand-volt shock from an electric light wire, furnished Mayor Grant with a text for a wholesale attack on the overhead wire nuisance, and caused the adoption, by the board of electrical control, of sresolution directing the immediate transfer of all overhead wires tounderground conduits, and, where those did not exist, the removal of all adrial wires not properly insulated. Of course, there was a general protest on the part of the electricians who were invited to the meeting, against the assumption that it is the electric current which kills so many persons nowadays, When the Mayor promptly chal- lenged any of them to lay a hand upon one of the wires which they declared were safe, not a man responded. They dodged this knock- down argument, vindicating their discretion at the expense of their logic. $a Ex-President Cleveland's refusal to serve as chairman of the New York world’s fair com- mittee shows pretty well what he thinks of the success of the project. He may, asa loyal New Yorker, consider the city of his latest adoption the proper place for the fair; but a wide ex- perience has doubtless warned him against con- fusing hopes witn probabilities, $< Mr. George W. Childs’s gift of portraits of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan to the military academy at West Point illustrates anew that gentleman's rare gift of doing the right thing at the right time, in the right way. Now that he has hung upon the walls of the military academy these portraits of the three great leaders of the Union armies from 1861 to 1865, it is obvions to every intelligence that this was @ peculiarly fit and excellent thing todo. But nobody else had the gift to recognize the reed and the generosity to supply it. —¥. ¥. World. The tribute to Mr. Childs as an artist in well- doing is fully deserved. Now let New York fol- low the example of him who has honored Grant by presenting his portrait for exhibition, and erect the promised monument to the dead | leader's memory. This is the right thing; the Present is the right time; and the right way is to do it voluntarily and promptly and not wait to be shamed into doing it, a The report that yellow ferer had laid hold of avictim in New Orleans the other day is said not to have frightened the authorities of that city. The southern cities are not easily fricht- ened into an admission OY the existence of the fever and into vigorous preventive and cor- Fective measures. This fact has frequently brought about disastrous resulta, ‘The rapid transit problem in Baltimore is as difficult to solve as in Washington. Just now the indications point to eleetricity as the com- ing motor there. Boston, the city of all in the Union, perhaps, most closely resembling Bal- | timore in the character of its streets, has been drawn on for its experience, and furnishes a generally favorable verdict, It is to be hoped that our neighbor city will conclude her ex- periments soon, so that Washington inay have ®@ chance to profit by them, for we, too, are sadly in need of some relief from the out- grown methods that ceased an: wering the needs of « tirst-class city ten years ag: ——— + = That missing wituess im the Cronin case has probably goue wes: to grow up with the coun- try. No ambitious mau can afford to waste the best years of his life hanging around Chicago while that jury is being collected. He will probably make bis fortune and be back in time for the trial. oo The New York Sun, the stalwart boomer of the New York Worid's fair project, seems to be getting discouraged. It characterizes the action of the finance committee as “feeble,” Te ‘There is nothing remarkable, after all, in toe rejection of prohibition in the Nutmeg state, Who ever heard of s Conn. that was not opposed toa pro?

AND PENNSYLVANIA AVE, CROWDED FROM MORN- ING TILL NIGHT. “I like to wait om you, gentiemen,” said one of the pretty girls st the Palais Roysl this morning, as she deftly fitted a glove to the hand of a rather good-look- ing Sir Knight “Oh, yes, we get awfully tired, but our visitors have proved 0 polite cmd patient that though we have not been 20 busy since last Christmas we rather enjoy the excite- ment (he rush brings with tt,” After being satisfactorily fitted and paying for his gloves our Sir Knight evidently thinks of some fair one left at home, ot why this question: “If I were to buy some Ladies Gloves and they didn't ft, could Tex change them through the maitre The reply is worth noting: “Why, it's no unumal thing for us to have orders from the very far west, and one lady sends to us for Gtoves from England because she can't obtain a size mali enough there.” We attend Sir Knight to the Ribbon Counter, and here ribbons for badges are obtained, and oh, if “the girl he left behind him” could but see—a scarlet bade that well matches the cheek of the pleased sales wirlis added to her mementoes of the visiting Sir Knights. “Just sufficient for a Dress,” and the captive Sir Knight is soon interested in a Paris Robe Dress pat- tern. “The trimmings are included,” added the buyer of the Dress Goods department, and Sir Knight is soon minus #15. We guqranter the anfe delivery,” was the remark ag the address was somewhat doubtfully ‘handed. The dazzling display of Jewelry next attracts our Knight, and the result of his visit to (hat department is the purchase of a 25c. Silver Thimble, one of Gold thatcost #3; an Enamel Lace Pin, representing a flower, costing $1, and a very pretty Pair of Sleeve Buttons at only 25 cents, Just before our visitor reaches the door he is confronted with a ticket which reads “A Souvenir of Washiugton,”, and he is soon minus $1.50 and plus an elegantly bound book containing 300 illustrations of Washing- ton and an interesting history of its rapid growth and development. The above is s true account of a visit of a Sir Knight who requested one of the floor walkers to “show him around the store” this morning, and he is but oneof the many thousands who have visited the Palais Royal this week. ‘The Indy visitors, who are more accustomed to shop- Pine and less conspicuous becanse of no destinctive costumes, have nevertheless been seen and heard. We thank them for the lavish praive of the store and its decorstions—the Pocket Books aud Card Cases, Fans and Handkerchiefs being seemingly the most popular. Most kind, too, are our lady visitors in overlooking that lack of personal attention that would be given were it not for the phenomenal pressure of business, The ladies will find less crowding up stairs, accessi- ble by elevator, which adjoina th ‘love counter rear of store No. 1119 Pennsylvania ave.
