STAR. WASHINGTOD _TH TUESDA Rossy 8. sores THE EVENING STAR bas « regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- Vertising Mediam tt bas ne competitor. Washington is flood-threatened by reason of the existence of the Long Bridge dam, and by reason of defects in the sewerage system. ‘The fact that the flood-menace is directed fmmediately against the capital's historic ave- nue, upon which « wise public policy has re- contiy begun the erection of new and great public buildings, does not suggest the abandonment of Pennsylvania avenue fo the waters of the Potomac, and its desertion Dy the government and the public, but empha- sizes the necessity of reconstructing the Long Bridge and the sewers in the pablic interest. | Tt fea matter of vital importance to the whole eity that the comprehensive and effective sewerge system which is proposed shall be speedily constructed, and that the Long bridge shall go. It is nonsense to treat the flood-threatening factors as perma- Rent conditions, forever to damage the erenue and adjacent territory, and warning the government and citizens from Utilizing the threatened territory. The bridge tnd the sewer system will both be corrected to the advantage of the whole city as weil as to the Protection of the avenue, and the government interest in the section, represented in part by the city post office purchase, will give a new impetus to these great projects for the public welfare. —__ ee . Of interest to Washingtonians, because only through Maryland ean residents of the District Journey to the north or east, is the report on public roads, just ferned by Mr. A. B. Howard Jr., chief of the Maryland burean of industrial statistics. The conclusions reached are pre- cisely those which might be looked for from any careful investigator. Some of the figures would seem at first glance to be startling. but when the almost immediate returns which would follow the rebuilding of the state high- wars are taken into consideration the proposi- tion i* far from unreasonable. Thereare about 15,000 miles of rond in the state and fully two- thirds of thix mileage needs reconstruction. ‘The cost would hardly be less than $25,000,000, Dut the soundness of such an investment fe beyond question. Mr. Howard is right im eesaming “that no considerable num- ber of persons would be willing to piace this or any other amount at the disposal ©f those who have shown wach poor results | from an annual expenditure of half a million lars” the sum expended during the past year on roads and bridges—and ne has with him the weight of tax-paying sentiment when he direets attention to the only pian by which comprebenste improvements can be success fully made, viz., the employment of a com- potent civil engineer whose control of the work hail be as nearly absolute as ix possible. This Dusiness-like proposition may not have in it any features calcuinted to attract and please the beards of county road commissioners or the oad supervisors. but that phase of the argu- ment should not be permitted to cut any great Sigure in the diseusst0n. — —s ‘Those scientific extremists who when men and things have to be disinfected proceed to Dake the one and boil the other will find noth- ing to support their practices in the utterances of Col George M. Sternberg, deputy surgeon- general of the army. Dr. Sternberg is in the front rank of American specialists on those two terrors—cholera and yellow fever. His experi- ence has been most extensive, while his bacteri- logical investigations and their results have Placed him on a very exalted pedestal.

The relations of the public press @e modern civilization: the orgin, nature and development of the modern newspaper: the dis- finguishing features of the public press service of different countries: the public press as the advocate of human rights and the champion of the interests of the common people; the rela- tions of the press to political life and power; the distinctive ethics of journalism: the rela- tions of the public press to education and to moral and economic reforms, and the press in ite relations to international affairs and the great interests common to humanity, are all topics of absorbing interest and with others a Ja2$ 420, 422, 494, 400 SEVENTH ST.

Saturday poor fellow was helped to the stage who had been s cripple for six years. Noone thought he could be helped, yet in Jess time than it takes to tell the story he walked and danced about like a boy. When he came down great tears were noticed in his eyes, but he said they were tearsof joy. Another quite s remarkable cate was that of Mrs. Jane Beaty. She had been deaf for:y- ‘one years, and she said she had come more to please friends than herself, as she had no faith that she could be helped. The doctor found this s very stub- born case, and he worked double the time he usually does, but without any seeming benefit. Finally,after another few minutes, he again tested her and found she could hear quite well. Again he applied the ‘treatment, and, to the surprise of all, the lady sai she could hear a whisper. ‘This called forth quite » round of applause, as she was well known.
