As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Vertising Medium It bas ne competitor. ——————————————— Something like four years ago Tar Stax Giscussed the applicability of the trolley- motor to canal-bost propulsion, a proposition ‘that was very favorably received. Gov. Flower of New York was then s member of Congress, ‘but when he marched from the national capi- tal to Albany be carried that idea with him. ‘The immediate result was the appropriation of $10,000 by the New York legislature for the experimental equipment of « section of the Erie canal, and within » little while » frial is to be made. Gov. Flower has estimated the cost for the entire espal st $1,000,000, and as an offset is the annual caving of $800,000 now expended in re- Pairing the towpath. Mules for each boat cost about two dollars a day and their places can be {filled by the trolley for something like sixty cents, while the speed will be doubled. Dis- cussing the plans the Baltimore Sun says that “everything which can be done with the trolley om the Erie canal can be done on the Chess- peake and Ohio. The length of our canal is about half that of the Erie, and if Gov. Flower’s figares are correct it would take about $500,000 for the equipment. Water power is convenient and abundant, and « powerhouse at Great Falls might not only supply the canal ‘with the required electric current, but a profit might be made by supplying Washington. At ‘ether points along the line of the canal the ‘water which falls over the dams would propel the machinery. In some places, as at ‘Harper's Ferry, the power is magnificent.” ‘Washington is perfectly willing to do what it ean to encourage traffic on the canal which has {ie eastern terminus here, and it will gladly ‘transfer the trolley machinery now within its Umits to the waterway which connects us with Cumberland. Asthe Sun says: “Any mate- rial reduction in the cost of canal transporta- ‘Hon would give new life to the great mining fndustry of Maryland and greatly increace the annual output. The future of the canal as a waterway would be assured and its traffic would steering bar.” But the ungraceful pos ture is only of secondary importance. Its results are serious. The chest contracts . | and the lungs are necessarily hampered in their operation, while the spine acquires curvature such as nature never intended it to have. Of course, the health office is helpless in the mat- ter, and not even a decree by the District Com- missioners would avail anything. Mankind is Perverse in its nature, and the male cycle- Fiding section of our population is no less so than the balance. But none of the women wheelmen are suffering from “kyphosis by- eye - —_+++—__—_ The defenselessness of even one of those Monster battle ships on which Great Britain and = great many other nations, including the United States, have spent millions of dollars, is sadly evidenced in the news, printed elsewhere in Tue Stan, as to the easy manner in which the Victoria was sunk by the Camperdown. The Joss of the ship would have been but » small affair, but the sacrifice of something like four hundred lives makes the calamity one of the most terrible since the day when the Royal George “went down with twice four hundred men.” ———_+++___. Spanish anarchists now state that they threw bombs merely to frighten people. This iss rash plea to make.

An be only limited by the capacity of the tunnel.” —_—_+02—__ If, as the horse thoraliste say, the racing of horses is for the improvement and development of the equine breed, why isthe sport not con- ducted on lines approximately coincident with that theory? In the recent Suburban, for in- stance, there were three horses chief among those who ran—-Lowlander, Terrifier and Lamp- lighter. These came in first in the order named, but the result carried with it no evi- dence of superiority. Lowiander won the race, but every one who knows anything about horse- flesh is satisfied that Lamplighter is very mach the more speedy animal. But Lamplighter did not win because, toprevent him from outclassing the others, he carried twenty-five pounds more weight than Lowlander and thirty-four pounds more than Terrifier, so that this—one of the greatest of American races and presumably one Of the best comparative tests of quality—was Ro test at all. Any horse owner who could put up the entrance fee might pat an animal on the track, and that public interest might be stimu- Inted the best horses would be handicapped down to the standard of the poorer entries. Comparisons of excellence under such circum- Stances are impossible. If horse racing bas Boother object than the encouragement of gambling let the managers be frank about it and drop all pretense. What is the use of Breeding and training the best horse when the inferior animal is given every advantage? ——- ‘That the residents of See Meadows and Isherwood “should have complained to the District Commissioners of the manner in which the Sabbath is profaned in their vicinity is not at all surprising. In halfa dozen places men and boys have habitually congregated on Sun- days for the purpose of indnigence in athletic sports, profanity ard intoxication, and in none of these places has the conduct been more con- spicuously bad than in the vicinity of Isher- wood. Custom has probably dulled the ordi- narily-sensitive nerves of the police, and the noises have- ‘een permitted to con- tinue becaue of their long existence. Bail playing and such like amusements when indulged in by the boisterous element should be coffined to grounds that are far remote from residences. Tux Stan sympathizes with those who have but few opportunities for physical exercise outside of their regular labor, and wonld like to aid in the establishment of a place wherein health-giving recreation couid be properly enjoyed, but it believes with the Isherwood and Long Meadows petitioners that aspeedy and effectual stop should be put to @isorder which makes Sunday a day of misery for many decent people. —— ‘The latest amusing performance of those newspapers which fail to recognize any differ- ence between genmine and imaginary or “faked” news was the publication yesterday afternoon epidemic of stories concerning demented and infuriated felines may now be expected. —_~+--+—__ SHOOTING STARS, “TI will now get into my coat of mail,” marked the letter when it saw the premade en- velope. It was just 7a. m. when the sluggard was heard to groan, ‘What is the use of my going to the ant when the early morning fly comes to me?” “Look here, Madam Seconsite,” said the for- tune telle’s regular customer, “I have a com- plaint to make.” “Indeed,” she responded haughtily. “Yes, you gave me a piece of misinforma- tion. You said that on yesterday I would re- ceive a letter containing good news, All I got was a dun.” “Go to, son of darknessand ingratitude. You have forgotten to thank me.” “For what?” “For not giving you a tip on the races.” "Tis here—the season hot, when we By maddening thoughts are chased Of icebergs in the polar sea. That simply go to waste. “Don’t you think you could take down that stovepipe without callingin aman tohelp you?” she asked. “No, Ido not. A stovepipe is constitution ally a joint affair,” “De singin’ ob birds is sweet,” remarked Uncle Eben, “but de cackle ob er chickin’ on ‘A HORRIBLE UNCERTAINTY. Once again the time is o'er us, When for outings players start, And the damsel in ihe chorus Hopes to get a speaking part, Chappie sits distracted nearly Murmaring as he views the play, “Would they laugh and guy me merely If I sent her a bouquet? “Twinkle, little Inminary, How I wonder what you are, Just a supernumerary Or a bona fido star. Gardening. Gladys got some garden seeds, Trusting little maid, Picked them out with greatest care, Talked about them everywhere; Printed them with earnest prayer, of a column of alleged dispatch from Troy, N. ¥., giving an account of the casting of Liberty Bell, of the touching of the electric button by ‘Mra Cleveland, and of the annonncement after ‘the necessary interval for the flow of metal that the bell was cast. Of course every one ‘who reads the real newspapers—which print promptly accurate accounts of everything that actually bappens, but which do vot deceive the public with guesses at future happenings cir- culated ufider false pretences as descriptions of setual occurrences knows that Mra, Cleveland took ng part in yesterday's Liberty Bell cast- Ang, and that this ceremony did not oecur until after 8 o'clock last night. Something may yet have to be done to compel men who determine upon programs to carry them out and so re- lieve the public from the insidious horrors of @ guessing contest conducted by gifted second- sight journalists. +2 —__ ‘Washington, which has so much to be proud ef, had additional reason for feeling satisfied with itself last night. In the presence of fully seven thousand deeply interested spectators— the largest auaience that ever assembled under exe roof in this etty—some three hundred graduates of the Washington High Sthéol Yeceived their diplomas and the accompany- fng applause. Measured by the educational standard this is an exceptionally-favored city ‘but even here must the influence of this addi- tional leaven be apparent. Of all the instita- ions we possess none are more truly admirable and none are accomplishing more real good than is the High School. No other eity in the ‘United States surpasses in educational equip- ment the public school system which locally is fitting se many boys and girls for their life's work. ————~+-e—___ “Kyphosis bicyclistarum” is» disease which has been carefully investigated by the New ‘York Tribune, and as there are in Washington very many sufferers from that awful affliction ‘Tux Stan deems it only proper that local at- tention should be directed thereto. Trans- Jated, “kyphosis bicyclistarum” means “bi- eycie-riders’ stoop,” snd that the unsightly | epidemic has a tight grip upon thousands of | promising young Washingtonians is only too | evident. “Many men,” remarks the Tribune, | “we might perhaps say the majority of men, es- | pecially if they be young,on learning the graceful | and useful art of bicycle riding, appear to forget | | that they were made in the image of their Maker, | and intended to bephysically uprignt. Instead, they diligently seek to transform themselves | into the image of some creeping thing. ‘The! head goes down, the back is humped, the arms | asscme the position of forelegs, and the onee | ‘erect and graceful Antinous becomes a wretched trave>ty of Quasimodo.” This is too true and there is nothing exaggerative in the comment that “there in no uglier object outside a freak Museum than even the handsomest young man | bending im colicky curvature oyer the | ‘And a little spade. ‘Then there came a fail of snow, And a solid freeze, Gladys taken by surprize, Bravely dried her brimming eyes, Sent around for new supplies, Warranted to please. Hardly were they on the ground When a busy hen, Seeking sustenance, laid bare All the cause of so much care; Gladys wished that she could swear, And began again. What the next mishap will be Gladys doesn't know, But if patient labors pay, She will have , fine display In her garden plot some day— It is doubtful, though. —Somerville Journal.
