ES" THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.c., TUESDAY, THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Lecal Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. The celebration of the opening of the new bridge across the Eastern Branch, which is to occur this month, calls attention to the pro- gress which has been made and the needs still to be satisfied in the matter of District bridge building. To build up the great future Was h- ington, to bind into a compact modern city main Washington and its suburban surround- ings, to facilitate ease of communication be- tween the city and the neighboring country which supplies many of its needs, and purposes of the eapital which are materially assisted by perfecting the means of easy transportation across intervening waterways, There are few public works of greater importance to the city. The celebr: of the opening of the Free Bridge across the Potomac in West Washington in 1888 marked a notable event in the capital's progress. Another distinet forward step of the same sort we are to commemorate this month in the celebration of the open- iug of the Eastern Branch Bridge. Im- provements have also been accomplished im the facilities for crossing Rock Creek. A new bridge across the Eastern Branch, a sub- stitute for Benning’s Bridge, remains to be built The great and urgent need of the main city is that of a creditable substitute for the shabby and danger-threatening Long Bridge; and of the erection of still another bridge, sub- stantial and ornamental, for the people, not the railroads, to be thrown across the Potomac from central Washington. If this bridge ean be so constructed as to serve worthily as a memorial structure to Grant or Lincoln, or both, and it can be so built if suffi- cient expenditure is authorized, then a double purpose will be happily accomplished. But with or without the memorial feature the capi- tal must have in the immediate future the re- construction of the railroad Long Bridge and the building of a substantial passenger bridgo across the Potomac from the main city. The thoughts and work of citizens should begin to tend in the direction of this project, that the date of its accomplish it may be hastened. ——— It will sooner or later become a metecrologic and well-known fact that somewhere in the northwest there is a great weather wave reser- voir, where the waves are stored ready for use. This reservoir is undoubtedly open at both ends, with the lid off and the bottom out, so that its contents are exposed to the rigors of winter and the fervor of summer, and when- ever a slight breeze arises the wave that is ripe issues and comes sweeping down upona de- fenseless community. In winter it is a “coid wave,” so called by signal scientists, and in summer it is ‘hot wave,” of course. What we need is am exploring party to discover and capture this reservoir and put it away in our national weather bureau drawer, where we “cam use its contents as we desire, after they have been cut to fit the season. In summer, when we have plenty of hot weather, we want ouly cold waves, and in the winter, when we are freezing on the street corners, we want, of course, the hot waves. $a The New Orleans Picayune believes that nothing good can come out of Nazareth and it is now charging the republican party with the treacherous purpose of stabbing a largo jagged hole in the helpless and palpitating bosom of the South by pressing the passage of the compound lard bill Compound lard uses up four million dollars’ worth of cotton seed oil every year and the south can thus use up her cotton seed and grease the skillets of the north at dividend-paying rates, en The international doctors of medicine are in “congress” at Berlin. They met here two yearsago. The president of this learned and distinguished body is the great writer on natural and physieal science, Prof. Virchow. Many eminent American physicians are in at- tendance, As they will receive from so will they impart to the conference ot their pro- fessioval brethren rich fruits of study and ex- periment. $< East Washington considered tast night the program for the celebration of the opening of the new Eastern Branch Bridge, to be held August 25. What with a parade, music, a poem, addresses, a regatta and a barbecue there will be plenty of fun for the most exacting citizen. Enterprising East Washington may be relied upon to celebrate worthily 2n occasion of such great importance to it. and all Washington will joim heartily im the rejoicing and festivities of that section. zrmea —— —- Because Mrs. Sands, the last of the “De- fenders,” was 101 at her death and anothe. lady was 106, the Baltimore papers are confi- dently looking for more centenarians and pointing with pride to the mortuary statistic: of 1889, where they find two persons who were booked at 109, one at 103, one at 105 and one at 115. Baltimore got left on the census by be- ing too soon. but she is encouraged by her Methuselgh record to believe that she will long hold fast to what she has, Omitting one or two South rn states there is not much rush in that quarter of the Union for federal clerkships and similar places at the na- tional capital.

The papers contain daily counsel of the best prudence, and thix house is among the rest in “saving suggestions.” But it takes much and frequent argument to influence some minds, and often the most forcible kind of logic, Yet sometimes © rentle hint will kindle productive reflection, and that is the hint we here aim to impart. Worth a thouebt? Yes, it is worth s Jong, large thought that whether you are buying strictly season- able goods, such as Baby Curriages, Refrigerators, Water Coolers, Bed Canopies, Lace Curtains, Gauze Hangings, &c., or whether you would be induced to investin Furniture, Carpets, Rugs, Tapestries, Por- tieres, and so forth and so on, provided there were ample considerations of prices. We wisk to stamp in- delibly upon your mind the fact that as ample asis our spacious store we are equally ready to extend to the wise and far-seeing investor of cash considerations of price just as ample and abundant.
