THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. CG, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1893—EIGHTEEN PAGES. G_ STAR. WASHINGTON, SATURDAY. June 10, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES == ————— SHE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent cireniation in Washington three Himes larger than that efany other paper in the city, Ae a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- ‘vertising Medium it has ne competiter. Washicgton was asilentcity lastnight, Voices @bat are ordinarily harsh and strident were soft ‘of tove, and the sounds of music that make evening harmosiously sweet and jubilant were rushed. Children ceased to play—loitered on ‘the streets and told each other of what they hac or heard; men and women clustered Pround doorsteps and in subdued tones dis- “eussed the horror that will haunt thousands for @ome time to come. Here and there an unin- survivor would be the central figure in « Pup of soberly-glad relatives and friends. In ‘many homes cruelly-mutilated men moaned the night through, while the soft hands and sooth- {ing presence of women who were near and dear obly endeavored to subdue fever and allay pain. Then there were darkened chambers, ‘where the widowed and the fatheriess sat in ‘pppressive silence or wept over the distorted of their beloved dead. Since the night ‘when the martyr-President was carried from out the building which yesterday claimed somany ‘mictims this usually happy city has known no h grief. But the sorrowful indignation that its origin in the awful catastrophe in which ‘@™men were murdered and hearts were broken auffers no subsidence. The voices of all, save ‘those to whom some degree of responsibility ‘may attach, are heard in condemnation of the (@en whose methods made such frightful ve- ‘aurrence possible, and as the days go by the denunciation will gather strength and by its earnestness and dynamic persistence must com- ‘mand attention of the practical and desired de- @cription. First to investigate the causes that ‘ed to this sanguinary bappening—for no sane an dares call it an accident—will be the cor- er and his jury, Let them be thorough in ‘Qbe task given them by law and fearless in the Judgment they render. Primarily, of course, ‘that vague authority known to the world as the United States government is the burden-bearer, jbut it works through imdividuals who have distinct responsibility. Except by the vigorous language of reproof some of ‘these—and probably the arch-criminals— may not be reached, but the indictment, futile though it be, should nevertheless be read so Joudiy that the nation shal! hear, so plainly that ‘the fool may understand what manner of men ‘are those who misrepresent the most liberal of peoples, who in economy's name shed the blood of good citizens and bring desolation to homes ‘that but for legislative nizgardliness might never have known discomfort. Owning and controlling the structure the United States must be held to accountability. If it was unfit “for habitation and notoriously unsafe Congress fs to be blamed for its failure to erect a sumfi- ‘ciency of government buildings; and the ad- ministration forces also, for they alone could Practically compel occupancy. Questions still ‘unanswered are, “Was the third floor over- Joaded and did its weakness cause the wreck?” or“+Did the excavating beneath the lower floor bring about the collapse?" Somebody auust be to Diane and he, no matter what his ; ing, should be specifically condemned. It jis carly yet to discuss what Congress may do “for the families of these whom its penurious- ‘mess killed or for the cripples it made so yeheaply but no one can doubt that the next ‘House and Senate will be shamed into dealing “Viberally with the unfortunate survivors. In the meantime it w enough to know that local Denevolence will do its utmost to avert such istress as is subservient to money; that sym- pathy will not soon cease.$ oo ———— Heathen mations in many parts of the earth ‘were accustomed to offer up buman sacrifice ‘defore commencing any great undertaking, for ‘they believed that witbout such bloody cere- monials success was impossible. Perhaps it was the savage strain that will crop out even among our national legislators which insisted ns revival of the shocking custom before ‘anything should be done toward providing the government's printers and binders with iy secure workshop, but unless ap- Pearances are extremely deceptive the delay in ‘hat important matter is due not only to con- sgressional lethargy but also to the selfish opposi- ‘tion of political land speculators to whom dollars sre much more than human lives, and who, un- fortunately and shamefully, are powerful ‘mough to build and maintain obstructions over which leaden-shod justice cannot easily limb. That there should be men in the na- tion’ councils who will lend their influence to such scheming is disgraceful in the extreme, | bat in view of yesterday's encarmined record a repetition of the chicanery is not probabie. For ears the government printing office bas beena | death-trap, the cause of continual nervousness | and old mutton. Fruit is the weal food, but | fish, poultry, lamb and veal are also good. | -affrighting | Distilled water, which is a powerfal solvent and | to those who are really compelled to} ‘work therein, and a source of et prehension to the fire department and to| others who realize the extent of the peril. | Much has been done by Public Printer Palmer | to mitigate the evil conditions. New exits were provided, shaky floors shored up, stair- ‘Ways widened and safeguards adopted, but the | Duilding is fatally weak throughout the entire | Hi street wing and should be immediately vacated. It may be argued that as the old shell bas stood so long it may remain up- Fight a little longer; the same shadowy logic ‘was good as to Ford's Theater until yesterday morning. If the place is unsafe, and every- body knows it to be so, men and women should | not be required tolabor therein. For the fact | that there is no better building Congress and ite wire pullers are responsible but who is re- sponsible for keeping people at work in a notor- fous death trap? —_—__ ee _____ After the coroner's jury has reached its con- clusions as to the identity of him or those on whom must rest the responsibility for yester- day's horror it will be entirely in order for the grand jury to wander through the wrecked structure aud ask a few questions for itself. ——_ += It is remarkable and touching that on the day of his funeral the one place in alt the world that Edwin Booth felt the deepest aversion for abould be demolished. —E —___+e Believers in the theory of home rule for Treland—aud this country is filled with such— are now debating among themselves as to the probable fate of the measure in the House of Lords. That Gladstone's bill will pass the Com- mons is a certainty, although it may be mate- Fialiy amended before the peers get hold of it. | ‘The present impression is that the Lords «te | nearly unanimous in their opposition and that nothing but defeat is possible this side of a general election. If the present temper of the | Upper House continues it is cortain that Glad- stone's only hope of success lies in another ap- peal to the “free and independent” electors af the | United Kingdom, but there are those conversant | and. like American snobdom, ‘dearly loves a lord.” For that reasonit is not easy just now to Editor Stead, the liberal and progressive force, who is so commanding a figure in English poli- ties, is of the opinion that it would be at this time just as easy to extract sunshine from cucumbers as to successfully agitate for the abolition of tke House of Lords. “The last agitation against the peers," save Mr. Stead, m the subject of the county franchise, upon which there practically was little or no difference of opinion, every one being in favor of it, the point at issue being whether or not household suffrage in the counties should be accompanied by a redistribution of seats, or whether it should precede redistri- bution. There was no doubt as to the sincerity and earnestness and preponderating force of the meetings against the Lords, but no sooner did the conservatives venture to organize meet- ings of their ows in support of the peers than the agitation practically collapsed, and the question was settled by agreement between the Parties. Reasoning from the data of that last campaign against the House of Lords, the home rulers are foredoomed to failure if they base their plan of campaign upon the prospect of fuccessful agitation. The odds at this moment are heavy that the unionists could organize just as many monster demonstrations in favor of the peers as the home rulers could get up ‘against them, and when public mectiogs dis- agree the House of Lords decide.” There is discouragement in these conclusions for weak home rulers, but the backbone of the movement will not be disturbed. Home rale is acertainty not only for Ireland but for all the other subdivisions of the British empire, and if the House of Lords court destruction by opposing the popular ‘ill its downfall will not be productive of great grief. é —___+++___ Starting out with the announcement that very few people really desire old age, Mr. Wm. Kinnear has written very entertainingly in the North American Reviow of the art of living 200 years. Calling attention to the probable truth that men and women harassed by trouble, or overpowered by sorrow, surrounded by dis- grace or tortured by pain long for death, but not for a bundred or two hundred years of buman life, Mr. Kinnear classifies old age and declares it to be of two kinds—one, the calm Passing of many years; the other, brought about by physical or mental excesses; and with the latter the essayist has noth- ing to do, and he mghtly argues that without good health and faculties, trained by sobriety and temperance in all things, long life would be an intolerable tedium. He ad- mits thet to many the possibility of living two hundred years in average good health may have the appearance of a wild scientific dream, but he makes a breastwork of steam navigation, of the electric telegraph and of other startling products of human ingenuity, and from bebind those defenses fires his longevity recipe at the public, Tue Stan is inclined to agree with Mr. Kinnear in his opinions us to the general un- desirability of extreme antiquity, but it is con- vinced that there are, nevertheless, several thousand subscribers who would not tako um- brage st any suggestions that had for their object the addition of a few days or months or Years to a form of existence that is far from undesirable; people who are satisfied to let well enough alone and who do not care to experi- ment with possibilities or probabilities until the pale horse and bis rider round them up. That is why the recipe is being reprinted. Mr. Kin- near admits that we cannot defy death, but he is satisfied that vitality may be built up by cer- tain varieties cf food. Anatomical experi- ment and investigation show that the chief characteristics of old age are deposits of earthy matter of a gelatinous and fibrinous character m the human system. Carbouate and phos- phate of lime, mixed with other salts of a cal- careous nature, have been found to furnish the greater part of these earthy deposits, When, the arteries are clogged with calcareous matter there is interference with the circulation, upon which nutrition depends Without nutrition pair vere always identical with the waste, life would only then be ter- minated by accident, never by old age.” Oldage is simply .therefore a failure to preserve the balance between waste and nutrition. “Nutri- tion in the earlier years of life is perfectly per- formed,” says Mr. Kinnear. “Repairs are at ‘once promptly attended to by the young blood. To repair the waste of the body, so that the ex- quisite equipeise called perfect health may be maintained, and the decay and blockage which advances with age may be kept at bay, is to prolong our years, If this secret be known, why not bundreda of years of life?” To attain advanced age care must be taken to avoid foods that deposit ‘calcareous salts in the blood, and as bread is heavily laden with this should be let severely alone, and so also should beef is devoid of carbonate of lime, is, after middie life, at least, the best beverage; it keeps solublo those salts already in the blood and facilitates their excretion, and when tinctured with diluted phosphoric acid does much to ward off senility. Summing up his warnmgs, Mr. Kinnear con- cludes that the most rational modes of keeping physieal decay or deterioration at bay,and thus retarding the approach of old age, are avoiding all foods rich in the earth salts, using much fruit, especially juicy, uneooked apples, and by taking daily two or three tumblerfuls of distilled water with about ten or fifteen drops of diluted phos- phoric acid in each glassful. Universal | adoption of this advice is not looked for, nor would sacha result be desirable. There are some who will not die too soon anyhow. Unfortunately for the welfare of mankind, though, those folks are most likely to test the propositions and thus make very many of their fellows sorry that Mr. Kinnear was such a clever scientist. —_—_--e____ As on other days—all other days—Tuz Evex- ING Star yesterday cared for the best interests of its readers, who compose the city's popula- tion. Long before any other newspaper could put facts into type Tax Star was on the streets announcing to startled thousands the fearful disaster which shocked the country. The first “extra” was succeeded by another as soon fs additional information could be secured and these were followed by others that made public the horrible truths far in advance of allef- forts at competition. At 1:300'clock—twohours abead of its contemporaries—Tux Star pub- lished a complete list of those who were em- ployed in the fated office, of the known dead up to that time, of the injured and the missing. After the regular edition was ontanother “extra” was printed which gave a report of the relief meeting and also all the additional information concerning the slaughter and maiming obtain- | able at the hour of issue. Tm= Star does not | ask for, nor does it need, commendation. It THE WEEK. ‘The world’s fair is getting along very nicely, but the United States court at Chicago says it must be closed on Sunday, and this will probably be done, #0 that people who want to see the Co- lumbus caravels,which are to be features of the big exposition and are now on their wayto Lake Michigan via the St, Lawrence, must visit the — on week days. By acclamation William ieKinley, jr., bas been renominated for gov- eraor af Onio, and only in that state, have po- litical matters been at all disturbed Cai | eo past week, Of labor difficulties there have been but few, the more prominent being the difficulty at Cincinnati, where 5.000 furniture makers were thrown outof work, and the strike of lace weavers at Patchogue, L.1. Bank rans and closed doors have beon frequent throughout the country, but none Of the instijutions affected were of the solid order; they were used mainly for speculative Purposes. At Omaha the rather unusual pro- cedure of locking up a cashier who wrecked a bank startled several people who were possessed of an idea that cashiers could not be arrested. A tremendous fire destroyed the greater portion of the town of Fargo, N. D., and throughout the country there were more than the average namber of blazes. More notable than auy of the other assemblages of the week was the uadrennial congress of the Loyal Legion at Se Paul. ‘The publication of the ‘Nussian treaty 6 irred up afresh questions of interna- tional comity and Russian judicial methods, Of the deaths there were but few prominent, but one of them—that of Edwin Booth—is gen- erally regarded as a national losa, OVER THE WATER. Mr. Gladstone is having more than a little trouble with his home rule bill, a great deal of obstruction having developed during the past yw days. Some of the Irish members are dis- satistied with many of the amoudmente, and with interruptions want to com: the house to look after nothing but the ono bill in which they are most interested, which led Mr. Glad- atone to intimate very strongly thet there were other matters that needed attention. The Ber- ing sea case is still moving along slowly in by British counsel. Incidental to ‘meution of Parisian = mings it may be stated that the probabil: favor speedy reductions of the sentences of the inent Frenchmen who were mixed up in the Panama canal scandal. Emperor William is very quiet just now, says nothing about the army bill and tries to vent his ministers from doing any loud . ‘The chances of the bill do not, Lowever, seem to improve, for the Catholics of Alsace and Lorraine have organized against it, Minister William Walter Phelps of New Jersey has re- tired from his high office as representative of the United States at Berlin, giving way to Gen. Runyon, who is also of New Jersey, but a democrat. Plunderers of the Italian banks are being vigorously ted, so there is likeli~ hood of severe discouragement for the busi- ‘ness of bank wrecking in Humbert’s kingdon. In two or three mn spots there are toms of cholera, while in Asiatic Turkey is epidemic and fearfully fatal. IN WASHINGTON. The events of the week have been overshad- owed in the horror of Friday, when by the falling in of the floors of the old Ford's Theater building on 10th street, where some 500 clerks of the pension burean of the War Department were at work, over a score of homes were made desolate and sad beeause of the death of the bread winner. In many other homes the shadow of this great sor- row was cast when loved ones were brought back maimed and crushed, but grateful to have escaped with their lives. The movement to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the north wing of the capital was furthered by a mass meeting of citizens aud the subsequent appointment by the chairman, Commissioner Rose, of a committee to make the necessary arrangements for this celebration. The Court of Appeals rendered adecision in the tost li- juor case holding that the licenses under the id law are good for the balance of the license year. VI] the SHOOTING STARS. “Well!” said the philosophic fisherman, as he drew his line out of the water, “I lost the fish, but I suppose I am entitled to « re-bait,”” “Dar is a good deal of comfort in not b'longin’ to de upper ten,” said Uncle Eben. “Er hoss ‘ud starce to death in er thistle patch, but er mule ‘ud r’aly enj'y hisse'f.” “Oh, dear!” sobbed the girl who was getting ready to go away for the summer, “I've locked Jay trunk up and sent it to the depot, And I forgot to put my bathing suit in it!” i “Never mind,” replied her brutal brother; “Here's a stamped envelope.” Possibly people who complain of the man who whistles are jealous. They realize that they can never enjoy anything half so much as that man does his own music. ‘The bathing beach, the small boy said, ‘Was just the place for him; He's not a social figure, but He's bappy in the swim. “Look at me, ma'am,” said the'man who was asking for something to cat, “Ain't I the pic- ture of despair?” “Idon't know anything about yer bein’ a picture,” she answered, glancing at the ax, “bu unless you're in the wood-cut line you can't get anything to eat bere.” sung. ‘The poets are gettii Inte ‘The world will be fretting Quite soon; The swallows are swooping Our collars are drooping, The insects are trooping— "Tis June. ‘The young man upbraiding ‘The moon ‘Will be sorenading i Quite soon; | With gnats having playtime, At night—what a gay time— And flies in the daytime, “Tis June. —_—+2+____ Clever Ah Wing.
