As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. 7 Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Basi- mess Department, according to th: character or purpose, not to any indi- vidaal connected with the office. such word as mustache in the dictionary. Eulalie has returned to her native land, but the influence of her somewhat uncom- mon hirsute adornment did not accompany her and now in the west there exists a rage that may, if hair producers will only do one-half they are advertised to accom- Plish, result in bewhiskered women be- coming a drug in the market; the common- est sort of a side show may then possess an unlimited number of bearded ladies. But seriously, though, can it be that Amer- jean women are so intensely snobbish as to work and pray for the artificial produc- tion of a hot-house mustache simply be- cause a Spanish princess—in common with very many ladies born in warm latitudes— has what can only be regarded as a dis- figured upper lip? Less than four months ago a government building in this city collapsed compiztely and in its fall killed more than a score of men and maimed and injured nearly a hun- @red more. At that time there was great eutery, and from legislators of prominence came unsought promises of safer and bet- ter accommodations in the near future for those of the government's employes whose work places were either flimsy or con- ytructed in defiance of the laws of hygiene. And what has been done? The sum of six purposes to which it must be devoted, but had it been twice as large the results would be regarded with suspicion by those who how great was the shock suffered walls when the floors that are now to be replaced fell to the lowest possible level, killing and crushing and bruising In their descent. When the disaster of the Printer Palmer and Capt. Brian, the public printer's first assistant, had done every- thing to promote the health and safety of their subordinates, but they could not work miracles nor could they wholly allay the fears of those who knew how thoroughly unsafe much of the great structure was and still is. Many times have Senators and Representatives endeavored to bring about legislation which would result in the aban- donment of the old building and the erec- tion In some suitable place of a structure adapted to the business, but speculators, through their agents on the floors of both houses, have defeated every effort because the sites selected have not been those in which the speculators and their agents were personally and financially interested—a condition that Congress should hasten to correct. Three thousand men and women, representing homes in which dwell not less than fourteen or fifteen thousand, are in daily peril because of the criminal inactiv- ity of the national legislature. In spite of widened stairways and so called fire es- tapes a panic In the present butlding would mean the death of hundreds, while a fire during working hours would result in a horror the like of which this country has never known. Congress is not ignorant of the risk that is being run in practically compelling the presence of three thousand human beings in a structure that should have been torn down years ago. Some dark day the awful calamity will occur and then the Fifty-third Congress will try in vain to remove from its skirts the stain of blood-guiltiness. — +e ___ Interest in the first of the great inter- national yacht races—scheduled for tomor- yow—continually increases and {s likely to Increase until the deeply-earnest gwatchers have some substantial idea as to the rela- tive merits of the contesting boats. It is known, of course, that the Valkyrie is the best product of Great Britain's most skill- ful experts and that she is more speedy than anything that floats in‘ English wa- ters, but that fact is of only little compara- tive value, because no one seems to have any idea as to what the Vigilant can do when she goes into the racing business with that earnestness which is to be ex- pected on such an occasion as is down on tomorrow's program. There is but little dif-| ference in the dimensions of the competing | craft. Vigilant is 124 feet over all, while Valkyrie is 120 feet, but at the water line| Valkyrie is the longer, being 86.8 feet to $6.12 feet for Vigilant. Valkyrie is 2 feet beam, Vigilant 25 feet. Valkyrie ts a cutter and draws 16 feet; Vigilant’s hull draws 14 feet, but with center board down the draught is 26 feet. The contest will be thor- oughly sportsmanlike and unless there be accident the best boat will win. ——_ 202 Another street railroad corporation has Fecognized the force of local public opinion against the overhead trolley, and in the bill which was introduced in the House yes- terday the Hrightwood company proposes to use the underground system should Con- gress grant the extension privileges which are asked for. This provision is in the bill as introduced. It was not left to be in- serted in committee or through other in- fluences. The company realizes from the start that the overhead trolley is out of the question. It may be that the company did not want the trolley, although that is the kind of motor at present in use on that “portion of the road which is entirely with- out the city’s bounds. But the real wishes of the company are immaterial; it is enough that the wideawake promoters of extension have endorsed the position be- hind which stands the strong public senti- ment of the community—which is going to save the city from the danger and disfig- urement inseparable from what every dis- interested and intelligent person now be- Heves to be a very primitive and undesira- ble form of street-car moto: —_—— One of those awful happenings over which feeble mankind can exercise no con- trol has caused tremendous loss of life on @ portion of the southern coast. In recent years calamities of this description have unfortunately been common in the west while other sections of the country have wenerally escaped without serious injury, but during the present year the afflictive hand seems to have been laid most heavily upon the south. At this time there ts much suffering in the vicinity of Charleston be- cause of the hurricane which but a few Weeks ago did so much damage to life and Property, and now comes news of a great ‘storm from the Gulf of Mexico. How many People were drowned by the great wave that swept over the lowlands is not yet Seka Habits are curious features of human nature. They change slowly and one gener- ation follows pretty closely in the footsteps of the other. Carelessness is not @ national characteristic but still there are plenty of people who are careless and in the one di- Fection that statistics have been collected on that interesting subject it is found that the habit does not grow any the less from year to year. The dead letter office exists in part because the people who patronize the mails are careless about addressing their mail matter. Each year an account is kept of the number of pleces of mail matter that are sent to the office and the percentage of increase as compared with the previous year is carefully calculated. It fs found that there 1s a certain annual percentage of increase which corresponds in some degree to the increase in the mail matter as a whole, but which demonstrates that in spite of the precautions and care exercised by the postal officials and the Presumable growth in the intelligence of the people from year to year the ratio of careless people remains just about the same. About the same number of citizens yearly slip their letters in the mail without putting any address on them or misdirect them or make some other blunder which brings their missives to the dead letter office. Then when death comes and they no longer have need to write letters, their children or those who stand in their places continue to use the mails in much the same blundering fashion. ———_+ e+—___ Boasters as to the civilization upon the Possebsion of which such a center as New York prides itself will find their arguments seriously encumbered by the revelations which came out of the trial of “Biff” Eltison, yesterday sentenced to five years’ imprixonment for a most brutal assault upon an aged man with whom he had for years been on terms of what seemed to be friendship. Much of the testimony in the case in question proved conclusively that Ellison was ungentlemanly in every in- stinct—a surprise to hundreds of people, who supposed they knew him fairly well. He was one of the city’s fashionable figures and enjoyed membership in three or four of the most exclusive of the city’s clubs, and yet every unbiased person who heard or read the evidence as given in court must have been convinced that his only proper abiding place ts within prison walls. The man whom Ellison assaulted was wealthy and seemed to be respectable, but in bring- ing about the punishment of his assailant he tore the mask from before himself and his family and stands revealed as being but little if any better than the brute who attacked him and who will soon’ wear striped clothing of a most unfashionable texture and pattern. Few things are really what they seem to be and the Ellison- Henriques case would indicate that there Is more necessity for missionary work on WASHINGTON’S NEW STORE “Opening” S Hovservastsurse Depantwent.

It must not be presumed, however, because men accused of assaulting an officer of the capitol police who happened to offend them in his efforts to preserve good order in the building have been acquitted in the police court and per- mitted to go without punishment, that it will be safe for any disorderly person to break the peace and policemen’s heads in the legislative halls. If the law giving authority to and providing for the protec- tion of the capitol police is defective it will undoubtedly be made perfect as speedily as possible, and in the meantime it would be just as well for those who are not Senators or Representatives to abstain from disor- der within the capitol precincts. This warning {s not without force, for the capitol Police have now been armed and equipped for offense and defense and should. there- fore, be regarded with more or less of awe. Few policemen need much urging to use the weapops with which the law supplies them. —_++-+___ When the street lamps are not lighted by reason of a scheduled illumination by the moon and that orb does not show her face urtil after 2 o'clock a.m., the supposition is Q8e Cups and Saucers, 6 of each, for. 98 tra Veils, ve “ +33.50 ‘urses, full size Aprons, for $1.08 Tee Cream Sete,'18 pieces, -49 | $1.68 Irridescent Spangle Vells fo 181.48 | 28c: Ladies’ Fancy Aprons for. $3.50 China Tea Sets, 56 pleces, for. $2.98 | $1.48 Made Vells, black, with white border, She.
