4 “THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY CRospy s. NovEs_ THE EVENING STAR has a seguiar and permanent circulation tn W. ree times larger than that of any other paper in thecity. As = local NEWS paper and Ad- ertising Medium it has ne competitor. Weather phenomena are of growing interest. ‘While the conditions of personal comfort have always been involved in the matter, the inereas- ingly complex affairs of modern civilization all for constantly more study of aridity, hu- | midity, temperature and the like. The recent hot season was from six to eight degrees in ex- ess of normal in the middle Atlantic states, about three degrees over the eastern Bulf of the | cotton region and the corn states east of the Mississippi. Normal temperature prevailed from Towa and Nebraska southward, but except on ‘the north Pacific const, where it was slightly warmer than usual, it was cooler than usual in all sections westward. An excess of rainfall generally in the northern states east of the ‘Mississippi, slight excesses generally in the southwest and lower Mississippi, very heavy rains in parts of the northwest and a* total ab-| sence of rain in the Rio Grande valley and west of the Rockies—such are the leading outlines of ‘the moisture program for the week. The ex- cessive wetness in the central valleys, it is satis- factory to learn, has prevented the excessive | heat from doing much damage to the growing rope in corn and wheat districts. se. The four hundredth anniversary of Colura- bus’ start from Palos, Spain, on his voyage of | discovery is the most memorable event since the invention of printing by movable types. “By an effort of genius and intrepidity the boldest and most successful that is recorded in the annals of mankind,” as an English historian has observed, “‘he added a new world.” And it is not material whether he was deceive.! in his calculations, or whether he hi alleged by modern writer E Or Isrezesr To Linus. A REVIEW OF THE FANCY AND DRY GOODS STORES. | | Turse: estabiisnments are increasing in sumbers | and size with the growing population, so that the favorable reports of business, shown by the late semi- annual balancing of accounts, would seem to be the Fesult of less and less shopping being done outside the city. The ladies of Washington need not be told that | the extent and variety of the stocks and also prices | may now be favorably compared with cities boasting | areater commerce—the capital city dry and now evidently abreast of the times, though Washington may not yet be termed 8 strictly commercial city. | faney gooda stores are No aoute the tine witt ome when the numbers | of the army of office holders will receive their dues weekly, and then will the credit system, which now so largely prevails, be supplanted to a greater de- gree by the more economical cash business. That many recognize the economy of the latter method is evident by the increasing pusiness of the Palais Royal. The late terminatiox of t) « half year showed @ great odvan- sfous periods, Jum: al uivues, while uly shor several thousand dollars more than nding inonth in the past.

He must have be testi- mony equal in charac ‘ainments to the best roving spirit: As he dared, what none of his Eu <otemporaries or | predecessors since the » 10gs and possibly early | Irish voyagers had dared. to snil across the | stormy Atlantic, he is to be regarded as the | greatest achiever of ail who have roved the seas | or explored hitherto unknown lands. He alone | gave a new world to civilization. This is the | man and this the sig of the man’s deeds cele- | brated by Spain, Italy and America today in the | little port on the further side of the ocean. | - as - ‘The veterans are concerned in the passage of | the sundry civil bill. It contains an appropria- | tion for special policemen for service during the seven days of the grand encampment, and with- | out the appropriation the additional burden of | nine thousand dollars would fall on shoulders | already well Inden with other items of expense involved in the matter. Of course the expense would have to be incurred by citizens if the bill should fail at this session. Provision for 300 special policemen and some additional expendi- | ture ix made in the appropriation in question. | As this great bill carries such vast sums neces- | sary to run the bureaus and miscellaneous | branches of the government work concerned it | is not probable that 1t will fail. - —— The more swiftly a necesear is made the hand-omer the action. Switzerland is a | small power, but the oldest of existing repub-| lies that figure to any extent.
