THE EVENING STAR. ——s WASHINGTON. - October 8, 1894. MONDAY. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid es = ac bse: te THE STAR, or to Basiness Departments, mecerding to tenor or purpose. Philadelphia appears to be very much Pleased because President’ Roberts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company devoted a whole day last week to inspecting the com- Fany’s property in and around Philadelphia for the purpose of discovering any short- comings that might exist and to arrange for their speedy elimination should they be found The people of Washington will be delighted to know that President Roberts is deeply and as personally interested es ever in the efficiency of the great corpora- tion in which he is so conspicuous a fea- ture; they even dare to hope that at some time in the not far distant future, President Roberts may journey to Washington and travel with deliberation over, or in the Vicinity of, the tracks owned and controlled by the Pennsylvania Company within the District of Columbia. The chronicler who made public the movements of President Roberts while on his inspection tour in Philadelphia gives us no inkling as to Presi- dent Roberts’ opinion of what he saw, but there will be no difficulty in Aguring out a conclusion should Mr. Roberts take it into his head to inspect the company’s property hereabouts. Its passenger depot is a fairly- satisfactory structure, but it is by no means the building it ought to be, when its owner and the city in which It is located are taken into consideration; anything above the aver- age in the way of business overcrowds the public porticns of the structure and resuits in great discomfort for patrons of the road and of other roads that hold the relation- ship of tenants to the Pennsylvania Com- pany. If President Roberts decides to ex> tend his inspection practice to the District of Columbia, he would do well to engage as @ guide a person not connected with his cor- poration. The District Commissioners, the Board of Trade, any one of the established citizens’ associations, or The Evening Star could provide a cicerone who would point out to the railroad company’s head the mspy antiquities and material weaknesses of the road's equipment in tnis place: could show him how long the Long Bridge and its approaches menace the city every time there is a freshet In the Potomac; could in- dicate the spots where men and women and chikiren have, without warning, been ground to death bece use the tracks are at grade in- ‘ stead of being—as they should be—either ele- vated or depressed. would prove by figures indisputable and argument that cannot be controverted how railroad traffic at grade in- terferes with the many varieties of business that necessarily have to use streets occupied or crossed by interfering railroad tracks; might direct his attention to the conscience- less manner in which his company continues Mlegal occupation of one of the most beau- tiful of the government reservations in the city. If President Roberts contemplates coming here on a tour of inspection it ts hoped, in the interest of thoroughness, as Well as of the modernization of his road, he will notify the local authorities in good sea- son, so that a suitable guide may be en- waged. ee Few men achieve fame and enjoy length of days without making many enemies, yet it can truthfully be said that the gentle Oliver Wendell Holmes, who yesterday passed away, was beloved by all. Possessed of genius, he was devoid of the uncouth or annoying eccentricities which so frequently accompany abnormal ability. The men and wemen who have been bettered by their contact with the rational fancies of -him Whose death is today esteemed a calamity to be mourned wherever civilization is can- not be numbered. Others eminent in liter- ature have sought to brighten their day and benefit their generation, but none -was so truly a leader in so many forward move- ments as was he who wrote “The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.” With a power that moved unconscious influences he en- nobied daily duty and elevated those things Which custom had made appear servile and Spirit-wearing. Serious in his intent and ever watchful lest he mislead, Holmes was @ humorist of the most refined type—one whose jocular instinct never weakened the sedate doctrine which he clad in the most attractive drapery. His true rank in this existence is assured. so - On this bright sunshiny day forty-nine hired men labored on the new city post office building. Forty-nine active artisans, working eight hours on every week day, might possibly succeed in completing the Structure by January 29, 1898. During the week ending on Saturday last the average number of men employed daily was thirty- eight and one-sixth—the one-sixth repre- senting the water-boy. That average was considerably higher than the average of prior weeks devoted to construction. The ‘Star's first estimate of twenty men a day still holds good, so that the chances for a complete post office prior to August, 1906, are extremely slim. Work upon the present skeleton was commenced two years, seven months and nineteen days ago. The great central power-house of the Washington and Georgetown Street Railroad Company was completed in two years. ——__~--__ Mr. Gayner'’s declaration that he cannot refrain from conversing long enough to be Judge of the Court of Appeals is both can- did and unique. ——— wee There is a harrowing fear in baseball circles that Washington is to be deprived of even the satisfaction of feeling proud of Baltimore. ~~ The Chinese army is suffering from a Palpable deficiency in its harmony depart- ment +o. ‘The twenty-fifth annual report of the board gf trustees of the Reform School, submitted to the Attornew General by President A. J. Falls and printed elsewhere in The Star, discloses an instance of con- greesional eccentricity which cannot easily be explained even by those who are pro- Tessionally engaged in apologizing for the acts of the national legislature. According to the report, an appropriation of $20,000 Was made by Congress for the erection of @ new family building to contain fifty boys, while the sum of $1,200 was appropriated to furnish the much-needed addition to the Reform School group of structures. Now the butlding has for some ttme been ready for occupancy, but Congress, in its “wis- dom.” did not appropriate money with which to pay the officers in whose charge the new building would necessarily be, so the building is unused. At this time there are in the jail and workhouse about twenty- five boys who should properly be at the Reform School, but who cannot be accom- Modated thereat because Congress fatled to ‘appropriate the $1,710 needed to make avail- able an investment of $21,200. Any one at THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES. all interested in the reformation of young folks who have gone astray knows that improvement is practically impossible while the unfortunates are confined in jail; it was the discovery of this fact which resulted in materialization of the Reform School idea— an idea that has worked wondrous results in the District of Columbia. There are many institutions in the country that re- semble closely our Reform School, but it may fairly be claimed that none of them is more efficient or is entitled to more of Popular consideration. Hundreds of boys who, if left to their own devices and to the law that merely punishes, would have be- come hardened criminals, are now respect- able citizens because it was their good for- tune to be sent to the Reform School rather than to be compelled to associate with the vicious and generally unreformable charac- ters that fill our prisons. The amount of money anaually expended in the support of the Reform School is almost ridiculously small when compared with the good that results from its careful expenditure. en ne There is a nine-year-old boy in New York city who may esteem himself fortunate in having escaped the doom which is gen- erally consequent upon collision with a cable car. Like the cable cars in this city, the cable cars in New York are, as a rule, without fenders, but the particular car which ran down this particular boy was equipped with a life-saving net. The car Fan some ten or twelve feet after hitting the boy, but stoppage and investigation re- vealed the pleasing fact that, beyond re- ceiving a very slight bruise from the primary concussion, the boy was uninjured. It would not be at all difficult to figure out the cendition of the boy had he come into forcible contact with a car unequipped with any appliance designed to save life. It iv hoped that local companies who are, in obedierce to the order issued a few days since by the District Commissioners, affix- ing fenders to some of their cars for ex- perimental purposes, wili not delay, for every day of procrastination endangers the limbs and lives of citizens who are entitled to protection from those to whom they grant such valuable privileges as rights-of- way on the city’s principal thoroughfares. ——-~++- __ China and the United States Senate have both discovered that dignity, while a goou thing in its way, should not be overworked. —__ em The greatest trouble in the Corean war is likely to arise from a superabundance of umpires. ———_+ + >} ____ SHOOTING STARS. “Bewah ob suddint frien'’ships,” said Uncle Eben. “In er few weeks de tuhkey’s gwinter unstan’ dat extra ‘lowance ob His Conversation. “Where are you going, my pretty maid?” “I'm going a-chestnutting, sir,” she said. “May I go with you, my pretty maid?” “I prefer the kind in the trees,” she said. “It's too bad he isn't alive now,” said Li Hung Chang, with a savage growl “I'd like to get my hands on him for an hour. I'd teach him to write proverbs.” “To whom do you refer?” inquired his private secretary. “That asinine ignoramus who originated this idea about the clothes not making the man.” Autumn.

And a kind-faced gentleman said: “I know You'd like the work I can give you; so Catch hold. You're small, but you'll surely grow.” He did. As he trudged the season's through, Slaking the thirst of the workmen few, He grew and grew, and his beard grew too. Stone by stone did the pile advance; * And the boy was con pelled by cruel taunts To buy a derby and wear “long pants.” And the pile was lifted, stone by stone. And he grew to love it; for that alone ‘Was the home which childhood and youth had known. And be grew and grew and his beard grew teo. But he murmured: through.” And his whiskers sang to each breeze that bie “I'll see the contract oe © © «© & Stone by stone it goes on—that pile. Our hero is losing his youthful smile. But he says “it will get there after while.” His faith is the kind chance cannot wreck. It wavers not at misfortune’s beck; "Tis that of the boy on the burning deck. When Haif-a-century o’er his head The frost that descends with years has spread He will be there still—if he isn’t dead. From the pile (still rising) he'll seek the street Where the pump gives water both pure and sweet. And his whiskers will tickle his ha!f-clad feet. ae . Exasperating Delay. From the National Building Register. ‘The accounts recently published in the columns of The Star, relative to the number of men that have been daily engaged upon the new Washington post office building during several of the days of the past week, indicate to the uninitiated mind that the delay attending the erection of the average federal building is not due to the intricacy or magnitude of the work, but to the simon- pure indolence and utter indifference of the contractors in charge. The miserable prog- ress that has so far attended the erection of this proposed improvement suggests that there must be an object in view, on the part of those who are interested, of a char- acter that might with propriety be sub- jected to an investigation. Regardless of whatever the real cause may be for this superb exhibition of in- dolence and delay, this parti r instance admirably serves to show how utterly ri- diculous are the methods in vogue relative to the building of federal buildings. It has been shown time and again that, in an architectur@ sense, the average’ federal building is an unsightly pile of rubbish, that would make a fourth-rate architect blush to have the design thereof openly charged to him. The records show, further- more, according to Mr. Gienn Brown's statistical summary, that the cost per cubic foot, as well as the time consumed in butld- ing the average public building, has been largely in excess of the cost per cubic foot, as well as the time consumed, in building mercantile or municipal buildings of like character. It would now appear that the Senators and Congressmen, together with the Secre- tary of the Treasury, after a little inquiry into the methods that have been and are now being employed in connection with butiding the Washington post office, would set to work to put - end Puce foolish- ness. The pressing demand for the pie counter for partisan trends should be overlooked by the Secretary long enough to ventilate and clean up the office of the supervising architect. GREAT Millinery SALE.
