THE EVENING STAR. - WASHINGTON: SATURDAY ‘(Cmosny s. NOY Bs. THE EVENING STAK bas the fullest Lecal more than all the eimer payers pususued im Washington. ————— A GREAT COMING ATTRACTION An Original Novel by Frank R. Stock- ton. Tue Sran takes great pleasure in announcing the publication in its columns at an early date of an original novel by the gifted and popular author named above. The title of this new serial story, which was written expressly for a select list of high-class daily journals, and which will be elaborately:dllustrated, is “The Story of tie Three Burglars.” It will be found fall of the quaint humor for which its gifted author is so justly celebrated, with touches of the most delicate pathos and abounding in unique situations. Mr. Stockton stands in the front rank of cotemporary story- tellers, and no living author is more widely read or more widely appreciated in this country. The scheme of this new serial gives the novel and startling experiences of the “Three Burg- lars,” who stop in the course of a midnight en- terprise and exchange the stories of their ad- venturous lives, and it affords, as may easily be imagined, broad scope for the display of the suthor’s peculiar powers, of which he has taken the fullest advantage. The publication of this great attraction will begin in Tue Evextxe Srar- of Saturday next, or the Saturday following, and will run through eight or nine of the succeeding mammoth editions. The expense of procuring an original story of such length from a writer so greatly in demand has been very great; but Tae Sran’s patrons are to have the choicest reading matter as well as the latest news, without regard to cost, and as this serial is copyrighted oniy its readers will have the opportunity of sharing in a treat at once so rare and enjoyable. ne The maritime conference which mects in Washington next week will be, in some re- spects, the most important gathering of the year. The subjects to be discussed are not simply social, or pertaining to private business, or limited to asingle part of the world, but concern all mankind, and the delegates have for their chief aim the devising of means for saving human life and property on the sea, re- gardiess of place, race or nationality. All the countries of any account that maintain navies, military or merchant, have arranged to take part, The topics selected for discussion are a uniform system of signals and a code of “rules of the road;” means of communicating warn- ings of storms, of rocks, of chayges of buoys and of abandoned vessels; regulations fixing the proper load line of vessels and a track for them to pursue in frequented waters, a system of marking them, and a plan for testing the efficiency of officers and seamen, and the es- tablishment of a permanent international com- mission having these matters in charge and gathering and disseminating useful informa- tion, Muny steamship collisions have occurred within the last few years owing to a misunderstanding of signals in thick weather, because the devices now in use indicate merely the position of a vessel, and not the direction in which she is sailing, whereas the latter point may be the one especially neces- sary to know. Again, the countries repre- sented in the conference have generally some sort of a life-saving patrol system in vogue on their coasts; but when a ship is going ashore ims strange region, her company is often placed at a great disadvantage through ig- norance of the local methods of operation. If, therefore, uniformity of method could be made to supplant the chaos that now exists, it would undoubtedly result in great practical benefits, to sey nothing of the additiunal security of feeling it would induce among sea-going peo- ple. These examples serve to show the breadth of scope of theconference. The sessions will Probably continue until the end of January; and even then it is doubtful whether the mem- bers will have finished all the work laid out for them. + With yesterday's tragedy the record of deaths in New York from ill-insulated electric light wires reached the startling total of twenty-one, and yet it is the electricians themselves, the men directly responsible for the damage done, who condemn the new “electrocution” law be- cause death by electricity isa “cruel and un- usual punishment” within the meaning of the constitutional prohibition. Of its cruelty it searcely becomes them to speak, under the cir- cumstances; and its unusual character must have pretty well worn away by this time, when one can scarcely take up a newspaper without reading of a fresh fatality, The worst feature of the matter as it stands at present is that it is the ruffian element whom the electricians are struggling to protect, while the men who are daily being murdered by corporate greed are from the hard-working, worthy part of the population, the bone and sinew of the state. ‘The canon reported to the Protestant Epis- copal general convention by the committtee on marriage and divorce, forbidding a minister to unite two persons in matrimony except with certain ceremonious formalities, such as the attendance of two witnesses, at least one of whom, if not the minister himself, shall be ac- quainted with the parties; declaring adulterous the marriage of persons divorced for guilt; denying the validity of divorce for any cause except adultery; and establishing penalties for violations of these rules either by the clergy or by communicants, shows that the committee have strongly at heart the tightening of the bonds which make home and family possible, The laxity of the age in these matters is de- plorable, It is growing steadily worse instead of better, unless all signs fail. Every exertion of church influence to check and reverse this movement will be welcomed. $= _ The St. Paul Pioneer-Press is not going to be outdone in housekeeping enterprixe by its eastern neighbors, and on Tuesday next will take possession of s thirteen-story building, a triumph of architecture of which the St. Paul of a quarter century ago would never have dreamed. It would take a tower many times higher than this thirteen-story structure ‘o command even an outline view of the territory to which our widely circulated and influential northwestern cotemporary ministers, oo One result of this year’s general exodus of Americans to Europe has been the sale, to the returned voyagers, of an immense edition of “Burke's Peerage.” It is wonderful how a trip abroad stirs up the average Yankee’s interest in his ancestors and his name. ——— The horror which Editor Stead, of the Pall Mal Gaxtte, expresses at che idea of anyone’s going into journalism for the purpose of mak- ing money, is justified by the experience of a great many persons who try it, Selene Queen Victoria’s weak knee, the Prince of Wales's varicose veins, Princess Alexandra's crippled instep and Prince Albert Victor's sprained ankle point to the gradual fulfilment of the prophecy so often made by British socialists, that, by the end of the present cen- tury, royalty in England would not have a leg left to stand on. 2 The Pekin Gazette is quoted as illustrating the viewsitudes of journalism in China by the statement that nineteen hundred of its editors have been beheaded during the thousand years, of iteexistence. Perjury in affidavits of circu- lasion is probably a cipital offense out there. THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D. C..
