As = local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Mediumit has ue competiter. ———_——————— Again and again has it been urged by financially interested advocates of the over- head trolley method of street car propul- sion that an underground trolley must necessarily fail when the conduit in which it was designtd to run had in it either water or snow. The inaccuracy of such state- ments has been proven in Buda-Pesth for @ long while, but now there has been local demonstration such as may not be upset by hired language. For several months the U street branch of the Rock Creek railroad which branch is operated on the under- ground tfolley system—has worked smooth- ly and successfully. Last week city suffered from a rainstorm of the fiercest sort, and although that storm filled much of the conduits and for a time submerged @ portion of the tracks the operation of the road was not impaired in the least, the trol- ley seeming to work just as well through @ flood as it has during the whole of this Temarkably @ry summer. Uninterrupted traffic under such conditions completely and forever puts an end to the argu- ment of those who would ruin the beauty of our streets and imperil the lives of our people by the erection of unsixhtly poles and the stringing of death-laden wires. For this satisfactory motor and for its presence in this city thanks should be given Congress. The enactment of the law which prohibited the further’ stringing of overhead wires and congressional refusal to grant special and dangerous privileges to the trolley octopus moved capital in search of @ street-car motor which woull meet the requirements of law and public senti- ment. This motor now seems to have been found, and roads which continue to ennoy the public by the use of worn-out horse- flesh should be compelled in the near fu- ture to change their equipment and catch up with the times. There may be motors superior even to the one which {3 so ¢e- serving of commendation, and some day there will be invented and perfected a storage battery of the ideal description, but whatever may come In the future it is cer- tain beyond question that the day of the overhead trolley has forever departed. ee After a series of struggles the like of which cannot be found in recent English history, the bill designed to give Ireland the home rule for which she has so long and 80 righteously clamored passed the house An appeal to the peorle following immediately upon a second pre- the lords would negative vote.

Some time ago it was feared that the sup- ply would be insufficient, but the rumor was nothing more than the regular canard which annually makes {ts appearance in connection with oysters, peaches and ice. ‘The dealers will, of course, see to it that the price will not be lowered, but as the quality will be decidedly better than dur- ing any season for the past two years there will hardly be any organized effort to bring about a reduction of the tariff. The good, the beautiful and the useful flourish in this city. Our oysters are beyond reproach. beasehanwibey Ae tpdone iis Judge Goggin seems determined to do what he can to live up to an excceding!y erratic name. ———__+ ++ ____ ‘The oyster, the reed bird, and the Presi- dent arrived in this city simultaneously. ee With an average income much greater than that enjoyed by any other people the inhabitants of the United States naturally spend very much of their earnings in sup- plying themselves with food. Fully one- half of the wages paid the working people both here and in Europe ts spent for the food emselves and their families, and to adv® looking to a reduction of this ex- Penditure and an increase of energetic re- sults Prof. W. O. Atwater has recently ad- dressed himself. The professor, “who is among the best Informed of men on sucha subject, has contributed to the September Forum a most interesting article on “Food Waste in American Households.” To him, and to any others who will give the subject brief consideration, it seems a iittle strange that when food costs so much more than clothing, rent and other necessaries of Jife —indeed, as much as ail the rest together— People should know so little about its real value for nourishment. “When,” says the professor, “an intelligent man buys a coat he has a pretty fair idea as to whether: ft fits him or not, how much wear there is in it and whether he can get as good a fit and as much wear in another kizd of coat at Jess cost. But when he buys his meat and flour and potatoes he has really very little definite information as to how much nutri- meat they contain, whether the nutritive materials are of the kinds and ja the pro- portions that are best adapted to the bodily wants of himself and his wife for their work, and of his growing children for the healthy upbuilding of their bodies, z.0r does he know exactly whether or not he might obtain Just what is needed in equally useful | forms and at much less ¢ He ts very apt to have the idea that what his fami wants and must have is ‘good, nourishing food and enough of it” This is an exe lent principle, but in practical applicati: it is apt to mean ‘get the kind of food like; do not mind if it 1s expzasive, fer the best is the cheapest, and make sure that you eat enough.’ The result is bad economy im the purchase of food, waste in the u of it and, too often, injury to health. And unfortunately the poor are the ones that practice the worst economy and suffer most from it.” From that text migit be preach- ei a sermon of several hours’ ienzth, and if | the people in whose behalf this agitation is being made would only pay close attention to the homily they would be wonderfully | benefited. High priced food is not alway the best food; in fact, It is often the worst | |p for those who have to exert themselves— either mentally or physically—to any great extent. Here is where science becomes of great practical value to the poor man. “Round steak at fifteen cents a pound,” says Prof. Atwater, “contains as much Protein and energy, is just as digestible and is fully as nutritive as tenderloin at Atty. Mackerei has as high nutritive value as salmon and costs from an eighth to half as much. Oysters are a delicacy. If one can afford them there is no reason for not having them, but twenty-five cents invested in a pint would ising only twenty-nine grams, about an ounce, of protein and 26) calories of energy. The same twenty-five cents spent for flour at six dollars a barrel, or three cents a pound, would pay for 420 grams of" protein and 13,700 calories of energy.” Mr. Lee Meriwether, who has Studied the use and abuse of food for many years, tells the story of a laborer, who boasted that he gave to his family the bést of flour and meat and the finest of sugar. He paid $156 a year for the nicest cuts of meat, cooked by his wife before 6 o'clock in the morning or after half-past 6 at night, because she worked all day in a factory. When excellent butter was selling at twenty-five cents a pound he paid twenty- nine cents for an extra quality. He spent only $108 a year on clothing for his family of nine, and only $72 a year for rent in a close tenement house, where they slept in Tooms without windows or close:s. This man, says Prof. Atwater, indulged in this extravagance in diet when :auch less ex- pensive food materials, such as regularly come upon the tables of man of wealth, would have been just as nutritious, just as wholesome and in every way just as good Save in the gratification to pride and palate. He was committing an immense economic blunder. Like thousands of others he did so in the belief that it was wise and eco- nomical. Very properly is the evil sald to have been born of false pride, carelessness and ignorance, and there will be but few to combat the professor's conclusion that the remedy 1s to be found in the Inculcation of better ideas of the dignity and duty of sav- ing and by the spread of knowiedze of the arts and economies of common lize, includ- ing information as to the nutritive value and proper uses of food. That the fathers and mothers of today will take kinily to closely economical teachings is not likely, for if this generation is afflicted in any one particular it is with the idea that it knows about all that is worth knowing, but the children may be reached through the schools, and especially through the indus- trial schools, for most of those institutions have departments of cookery. The saan or woman who desires to be really useful to his or her fellow beings need not depart for foreign tands. There ts an almost illimita- bly broad fiela for missionary effort in the cities of the United States. + Antone Bacetiec-Ban 1s dead. The circle of his acquaintance was not large, and only a few are left who by the ties of kindred or personal friendship will feel compelled to mourn his departure, but he deserves to be remembered, for he sacrificed his life as a protest against the neglect of the average boarding-house keeper. A little more than two months and a half ago Antone, who by profession was fireman on a steamship, en- gaged a room and board in Philadelphia. At that time he weighed 175 pounds and had an appetite such as is commonly possessed by vigorous men who are on the sunny side of fifty years of age. One day the dinner bell rang and when Antone took his accus- tomed seat at the table he failed to find either his knife, fork or spoon. He waited a while, imagining perhaps that the omis- sions would be supplied, but they came not, and in his wrath he up-ended himself and left the dining room. From that time until when, 7 days later, he said farewell to Philadelphia and “good table board” he ate nothing, nor would he take any of the med- icine which after awhile was proffered him ‘by the doctors who were called in. The failure to supply Mr. Bacetic-Ban with the instruments necessary to the polite con- sumption of food may seem to some people only @ smail matter, but it is sincerely to be hoped that none of Washington's board- ing-house keepers will ever be guilty of such neglect. Mr. Bacetic-Ban's place in life, being humble, can perhaps be filled,but the country would probably refuse to be shinin; sional light or indispensable Gupartaieata official set his teeth and starve to death be- cause of the landlady’s carelessness or the Distorieat wr! imefticlency. ‘The greatest of ents have had their origin in fork. -—____ —_~+ The Rev. Dr. Christian Adolph Stoecker, ex-chaplain to the court of Berlin, arrived in this country yesterday and is now sup- Posed to be on his way to Chicago, where he proposes participating in the proceedings of the World’s Congress of Religions. Dr. Stoecker is famous as an anti-Semitic ora- tor, and it was not unnatural to suppose that he would while in this country give vent to some of his extremely narrow and bitterly personal views; but it has been an- nounced that he will do nothing of the kind. This would indicate that the doctor is possessed of a reasonable amount of common sense. The great bulk of Ameri- can Hebrews are among the best of our population, so any effort at gagitation which would have that class as a target would receive no consideration whatever from decent people. Dr. Stoecker will, if he is wise, refrain from wasting his Jew- baiting energies in a country where they would be wholly unappreciated. + 6 _____ With the formal transfer of the donated and purchased lands to the Episcopal Cathedral, that institution, already sup- plied by Congress with a chartered name, acquires its local habitation, and the foun- dations are laid Broadly and solidly for the latest of the great educational institutions which, founded in rapid succession, have been the most notable features of the cipi- tal’s recent development.

A large number of manufacturing establishments that for months past have been idle started in once more to supply the market and give employment to a large number of hands. Bank suspensions have almost entirely ceased and very many of the unfortunate establishnrents have resumed or are prepar- ing to resume in the near future. Congress has done something to aid the situation, but the work is not as yet complete. The House passed the bill repealing the silver purchase act of 189 by a majority of 130, and the measure is now being considered by the Senate, but without much hope of immediate vote. The Senate has decided that the failure of a legislature to elect a Senator does not give governors a right to point anyone to fill the vacancy, so the states of Washington, Wyoming and Mon- tana will be represented in that body by only one Senator for some time to come. A West India hurricane swept up the At- lantic coast, doing grest damage and caus- ing a tremendous loss of life, especially in the vicinity of Savannah, Ga., and Charles- ton, S. C. Chicago has had’ some trouble with the unemployed and discontented, one or two riots having only been averted by the prompt action of the police.

Attendance at the world’s fair has increased steadily and it is now expected that the greatest of all expositions will be a financial success. ‘The Dutch cele- brated Netherland's day and enjoyed the ceremonies, which were appropriate. Among the big meetings of the week were the six- teenth annual assembly of the American Bar Association at Milwaukee and the sev- enth annual session of the International Sunday School Union at St, Louis. + Abroad. The passage of Gladstone's Irish home rule bill by the house of commons is the event of the week in Europe. That it ‘would be passed has been evident for some time, but no one expects the house of lords to treat the measure as kindly as it has been treated by the house of commons. An sppeal to the country will surely follow the rejection of the bill by the lords and on the issue raised by Gladstone the fate of the measure will depend. There have been several riotous uprisings in Spain, but none of them were of any importance and al have been speedily settled. France con: tinues to take possession of such portions of Siam as it believes it wants and the po: sibilities are that in a little while Siamese autonomy will cease to it and France will govern the land of the White Elephant by protectorate. Cholera continues to turb in several parts of Europe; in England and Antwerp and in the vicinity of Bingen. ‘The dread disease is also scourge in north an where it claims thousands of vic- Within the District. The event of the week in Washington that made itself most felt was the storm of Monday night. It was a hurricane that came from off the Bermudas and left death and destruction all along its track. While there was no resulting loss of life in this city and the damage to property was as nothing compared to what it was in the south, the storm was still a very severe one and unprecedented’at this season of the year. During the week most of the camps of the District National Guard were struck and the soldier boys returned to the city much the better for their little military outings. The Episcopal Church lost one of its most popular pastors in the death of Rev. A. Floridus Steele, at his home on Capitol Hill on Monday. Work on the new St. Matthew's Church on Rhode Island avenue was begun. A program for the cere- monies for the celebration of the centen- nial of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol was adopted by the joint com- mittee in charge. Preparations for the cele- bration were advanced in a most satisfac- tory manner and frequent rehearsals of the centennial choruses have been held. The G. A. R. men completed their arrangements for leaving the city tomorrow for the en- campment at Indianapolis. For a day or two gold was issued from the treasury on all payments.

From the Chicago Tribune. ‘The address made by Bishop Fallows at the labor mass meeting Wednesday etter, noon was thoughtful and well considered and contained much that will meet with general commendation. The bishop enun- ciated a great truth when he declared: “We have no labor class in this country as such and no capitalist class as such. We have no class at all in the European sense of the term.” This is a self-evident truth, and yet it is one which probably ninety- nine out of every hundred workingmen have failed to recognize. Their first and main assumption in any discussion of the labor problem is that they constitute class—the class of labor, and that against them is arrayed an organized and perma- nent class—the class of capital. They never stop to consider that these are intercon- vertible terms, and that the elements of the problem are so changeable and the con- ditions of labor so flexible that the work- ingman of today may be the capitalist of tomorrow, and still more frequently the capitalist of today may be the workingman of tomorrow. Hang Out the Flags. From the Chicago Herald, The city of Chicago ought to assume a gay, festive and triumphal appearance from this time until the close of the fair.
