6 THE EVENING STAR, es THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. January 21, 1505. "He EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more vham the combined circulation of the othee Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Med it has no competitor. im order to avoid Cite on ac- It is to be eed that the bakers who supply a considerable portion of this city’s population with bread will not deem it necessary to increase the ‘selling price indications that of that necessity. The such fs their present intention are not wanting, but it may be that after a little more of consideration they will conclude to keep the cost of bread to the consumer at the lowest pos- sible figures. Some months ago The Star showed conclusively that the bakers’ share of the profits was much larger than It had been in prior years, because great reduc- tion bad been brought about in the price of flour. Cons2quent upon this revelation followed a reduction by smaller bakeries of one cent per loaf. This cut was per- fectly satisfactory to the proprietors of a number of inconspicuous concerns, who, despite the expensiveness of hand labor as compared with bread-making machinery, claimed to be doing business at a profit; provided, of course, that there continued to exist a reasonable demand for their pro- duct. Managers of the large bakeries at once, but grumblingly, lowered their prices and then proceeded to compete vigorously with the minor establishments whose lead had compelled the general reduction. Pos- of greater facilities and a larger eapital, the big bakers naturally crowded many of their rivals to the wall, and now, being once more in control—possessing practically the entire field—the large houses are ready to elevate the rates. The announced justificatien for this is found in the statement that flour has gone up twenty-five cents a barrel. The increase of one cent on each loaf—there being two hundred and fifty loaves to a barrel of flour—will, of course, be $2.50 a barrel; a net increase in the baker's profit of $2.25 on every barrel of flour worked into bread. Using their own statistics, they base upoa an increase of eight and one-third per cent in the price of flour the right to raise the price of bread thirty-three and one-third per cent. In many instances it is quite improbable that the slight rise in flour has in any way affected the bakers, for know- ing that cereals could hardly be much cheaper than they were five or six months ago, most of them, if not all, made con- tracts for future delivery at lower rates than are likely to prevail for some time to come. There is no popular desire to force business men into bankruptcy, nor fs It ‘The Star's aim to cut down the protits o7 any merchant, but It does seem as though the boss bakers have only the thinnest sort of excuse for endeavoring to return to the old prices. + —___—_- ~ The forthcoming trial of Claus Blixt in Minneapolis for the murder of Miss Catker- ine Ging will be full of interest to more than the average number of people who watch the accounts of such events. The plea of Bilixt is that he was hypnotized by Harry Hayward into killing the young woman, and this will largely be the is the trial, which is soon to take plae such a defense can be established it is to be feared that hypnotic murders will soon be- come more than common, and therein lies a great danger. A few years ago the In- “sanity plea was the most popular means of excusing brutal crimes, and it succeeded to the danger point. Now comes Blixt with his plea that he was not his own agent in’ his bloody act, but the unwilling tool of Hayward, and on that ground is urging that he Is not to be held responsible for the death of Miss Ging. This plea has become quite common in France, which ts essen- tially the home of hypnotism. It fs not al- ways suecessful, and, on the face of things, should not be so In the Minneapolis case. The peculiarity of Blixt’s defense is that he made the plea of hypnotism immediately after being accused of the crime, and there- in lies its greatest weakness. It is a pe- culixrity of the hypnotic state that the sub- ject is quite oblivious of all that may eccur while under the influence. The events of that period are as a blank to him. He is cognizant of them only when placed again under the Influence and induced to bear his mind upon them. This is no longer a theory of the science, but a well-established fact. ‘Therefore, under these circumstances, Claus Blixt would never, of his own knowledge, have known of the death of Miss Ging by his hand, The natural course would be for him to protest ignorance of the event. Be- ing thrown under the influence once more, he might tell with willingness all the details of the crime, but until he succumbed to another will his mind would be a blank as to the events of the night when, as he says, he struck the fatal blows under the direc- tion of Harry Hayward’s will power. The courts should throw around such cases the most rigid rules of evidence and require the strictest proof of a hypnotic influence, else the bar will be very generally let down be- tween men of louse principles and the lives of the community. —__+e=—____ On this somewhat moist and dreary day there were employed cn the new city post- office building, so says the official report, one hundred and seventeen men. The av- erage is being bravely sustained, and while the new and revised prophetic estimate as to completion is still unfinished, there is every reason for believing that the struc- ture will be ready for business before the nineteenth cer.tury comes to an end. Two years, ten months and twenty-eight days have elapsed since work was begun, and there is a little stone-setting being done today on the first course of the third story. ——__ + += —_—_. ‘There ts happily a prespect that the end 13 near of the old-time assertion that man- kind is decreasing In stature. There are cer- tain folks who delight in decrying the hu- man race as it Is; they are of the sort who continually sigh for “the good old times.” Mince pies do not tast2 as well to them as they did forty years ago, and men are not as strong or as good or as healthy to- day as they were at the beginning of the century. Of this same sort, extended ard therefore more offensive, is the continual deprecation of the human race of the pres- ent. The fear of “degeneration” has taken a mastery over the civilized world. Writers who, ff they were not addressing an all too ready audience, would be more calmly logical, have contributed to this tendency by quoting gravely from ancient authori- ties to show that the men of the far past jants as compared with the pigmies were of today. Mentality, they are prone to urge, is the curse of the hour. Nerves are being developed at the expense of the fibers of the body. Slowly but surely there fs a shrinking of the stature. Tho dismal prespect is Meld out of the coming of a race of dwarfs. Indeed, the affrighted im- agination of the absorbent r the next generation as lb half a head shorter than the present one. Kut the cold steel of research has slashed this balloon of sensationalism. Careful, painstaking in- quiries have been made and thousands of measurements have been obtain writer in “Knowledge,” an English publi tion, assembles the results in a recent ar ader pictures | cle, which shows that so far as a series of French explorations have gone there {s absolutely no proof that the ancient man was any taller than the modern. The diffi- culty of such investigation is the lack of exact information concerning the speci- mens of pre-historic and proto-historic benes that are at hand for such inquiries. It is unfortunate for these experiments that the measurements of living people were all taken in France, notoriously a country of short statures. Yet even under these circumstances the comparison with the living people and the bones of the dead, the latter selected with a view to their great age, shows that the modern man is but seven-thousandtks of a meter shorter than his ancestor. Such a difference is in- finitesimal. It is probably explained by the racial characteristics of the French subjects whose heights were averaged to produce the modern element of the equation. It is hoped that other investigators will take up this subject and work it out to the complete refutation of the alarmists who have been so persistently crying out against the evil effects of the modern civilization. There may be a greater ten- sion new of the nervous system of man in ecmmunities; he may be leading a more sedentary life than was forced upon him a century or two centuries ago by his unacecommodating surroundin; but that he is deteriorating generically cannot be believed, especially in the light of this latest investigation. There is an altogether desirable tendency nowadays towards the encouragement of legitimate athletic sport. It is not that the sensible people of the day are frightened. They are simply recog- nizing the fact that life is easier than it used to be to the physical man and they are counterbalancing whatever tendency there may be to the neglect of the mus- cular fiber of the body. —_+ ++ ____ It is stated that Gladstone once played the banjo.

SHOOTING STARS. Located. “Liliuckalant is at the bottom of this Hawolian revolution, isnt’ she?’ “Yes, and that’s where she'll stay. There isn’t one chance in three million of her coming out on top. At the Play. She giggled oft (to me 'twas tat), She laughed—this girl with monstrous hat, And there I sat And wondered what The mischief she was laughing at. No Comparison. “What was that noise?’ asked the stranger, who had gotten up early so as to see all the sights. “That’s the boom of the sun-rise gun.” “You don’t say so! Well, that may do very well for booming the sunrise, but un- less you put in a few cornets and a trom- bone, it wouldn’t go six inches toward booming western real estate.” Comrades.

She might have studied Browning had she been of other birth, And pondered long o’er gentences ab- struse, She might have tried the sciences and analyzed the earth. But when you're born a queen, what's the use? why She might have gotten floss and yarn in order to crochet, In hues which dim the tints of rosy dawn; But, goodness, gracious! What’s the use of tidies anywey, If you haven’t got a throne to put them on? She might have painted purple cows upon an orange placque, And rural scenes that can’t be under- stood, Or violent bouquets on china cups, for brio- a-brac; But without a palace—-really, where's the good? Alas! Poor Lil! “Tis often thus; where gilded Fortune reizns, Th: muse artistic agers shy and mute; And now, with luck departed, for your pastime there remains No occupation put to revolute. —_ +e Pure Bourbon Obstinacy. From the New York World. The administration showed a_ tardy respect for public opinion in ordering the Philadelphia to proceed at oncesto Hono- lulu. In view of Admiral Walker's warning and of the interests of the natior in that quarter it was pure bourbon obstinacy which withdrew our warship. There was no lac’. of a vessel when the American flag was to be hauled down and tho conspiracy was on foot to restore the preposterous Liliuokalani to her “throne.” What states- manship is that which leaves the young re- public, the interests of clvilization and American citizens unguarded? President Dole may_have said, as Minister Willis reports, that he was glad no war- ship was in port during the disturbance. The government is naturally gratified that it was able to defend itself without even moral support from outside. But suppose the rebellion had been more formidable, as it might easily have been. Suppose that the semi-savage half-breeds and natives who support the bloodthirsty ex-queen had ob- tained ascendancy but for one day. Would the administration have viewed with equa- nimity the fate of American residents in such a cass? Is there to be no end to the blundering over Hawall? — ee As to Mr. Heraclitus Constantine, &c.
