THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. -May 8, 1895. CROSBY s. MOxES. . THE EVENING STAR h: * 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. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depurt- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Judge Kimball's ae ae to the Stringing of additional overhead wires of any sort is entirely in accord with the let- ter and the spirit of legislation on this decidedly important matter. Washington has suffered considerably because of the unsightly obstructions which are unneces- sarily displayed, though less than in most other large American cities. It was for the Purpose of avoiding conditions that are much too common elsewhere that Con- gress has again and again been appealed to for direct statutory prohibition. This came, finally, In the act of 1888, but the law suffered from the customary weak- ness—there was no penalty provided. Now, however, an old law has been found which supplies the deficiencies of the newer stat- ute. Of course the companies will take their case to the Court of Appeals and will make just as much of a fight as legal in- genuity will suggest or the judiciary per- mit, but every public-spirited citizen will hope that there is no weakness in the pub- lic armor and that the Court of Appeals will affirm Judge Kimball's decision. The judge needs not to-make apology for the Statement that he thought it his duty to Protect the city from the great masses of overhead wires that would surely be strung if there were no prohibition. There are very sound: material reasons why a stop shouki be put to the dangerous practice and there are other reasons of a more sen- timental sort, perhaps, that, in this beau- tiful city, should be hardly less effective than the argument which would at once Present itself to a fire insuance company. Years ago, when the people generally were Without information as to electrical mat- ters, it was openly stated by the telegraph and telephone com that it was im- possible to secure ory service if the avires were pla veneath the streets’ surface; today every ordinarily well-in- formed man knows that in very many re- = bu wires do better than their petitors. The corporate plea rhead wires is based aimost entirely on the fact that telegraph poles are much cheaper than conduit — ee There is continual testimony in support ot The Star's contetttion that the brake power on some of our street cr lines is insafficient. Recently the drivers of two cars on the Eckington and Soldiers’ made, too late, the start- that the car-brakes were useless on the heavy grade on avenue and 6th street. It that the one brake which is on each car did its duty so far as preventing revolution of the wheels was concerned, but itis certain that both cars in question went down the hill without any control whatever, to the serious detriment of some of the horses and the endangering of sev- eral human lives. The cost of sand-boxes that can be operated by foot power ts but an inconsiderable item in car purchases, yet for the sake of saving a féw dollars these companies, who get their rights of way for nothing, and often without rea- sonable excuse for the gift, run all sorts of risks and y with the lives of passengers. Some of these days—after the Commission- ers have finally decided. when the car- fender ordinance becomes effective—per- haps the jocal authorities will see to it that these corporations are compelled to make reasonably gafe other parts of th equipment. : Home Railroad ling discovery entirely ———_- = vernor Greenhalge of d himself as bein e OR the Potomac rded as aids to river navi ion. The governor arrived in this city recently after a long-drawn voyage from Old Point Comfort, the delay being due, he says, to the absence of lights and buoys. The governor’s complaint is well feunded and is one of which the au- thorities may weil be ashamed. It is to be hoped that the lighthouse board will give the matter the attention it deserves. ——__ + e+ —___ Had Gongress taken advantage of the good advice given it by Col. John M. Wiil- son in his 1594 report on government reser- vations, there would not now be any neces- sity for calling attention to the condition of the great oak-shaded park south of the grounds of Howard University. In the re- port in question Col. Wilson is on record as suggesting the care which The Star yes- terday appealed for. Renewal of the rec- «ommendations may perhaps result in an appropriation by the Fifty-fourth Congress. —_-~+ee- ——_— ‘Three years, two months and sixteen days have nowy passed away since work was first begun on the city post-office building. The work is progressing, but very slowly, and tcday there were 101 men employed; just about one-fourth as many as were kept at work on the Congressional Library building during the course of that construction. There is little reason yet produced to doubt ‘The Star's original estimate that the build- ing will be completed about August 17, 1906, ——__+ «+ —__ One of the striking contributions to lit- erature is a newspaper by Governor Waite, entitled “The Nation’s Crisis.” It is un- derstood that the governor will use oniy red ink. ———_++-+__ Whatever happens in Asia, China pays the freight. ———__ + ee —____ Blessed with a public school system that ranks high among the systems in operation in the United States, the city of Washing- ton suffers nevertheless from what James H. Penniman, in the May Forum, fitly terms the “Criminal Crowding of Public Schools.” Quoting from the réport of the trustees of our public schools for the year 1803—and the improvement since then has not been as great as it should have been— Mr. Penniman say: “We read of 500 pupils crowded into a building that can adequately accommodate only 400, while it ts necessary to use rented rooms for many classes. Schools for the first and second grades also are open for only half the time, for we read, ‘The return to half-day schools above the second grade is to be deplored, yet unless accommoda- tions are largely increased many third and fourth grade .schools in the near future ced to go on half time.’ The con- dition of the colored schools is wretched in- |. I condense trom the report of Super- ndent Cook:—In the Sumner and Lin- coln buildings the air is impure and viti- ated, and the floors of the first story schools being laid on the bare ground are decaying so thet no protection is furnished ayainst dampness and soil gases. It is commended that the Stevens and Bow bulldings be tarn down. The former, erect ed in 1568, is so poorly built that it ‘is pre- maturely old. The light and ventilation could hardly be woese, and it has been necessary to ahandon four much-needed chool rooms, while in the eight others the floors are worn 0 thin as to be dangerous to life and limb. There {3 a very large school population around the Stevens school and even third grade schools must ‘work on half time; in fact, out of 218 cot- ored schools & the District of Coiumbia fnote than @ Third, 18, were &ept on half time,’ But if in widely scattered instances the nditions here afe unsatisfactory, the peo- le of the District thay at least congratu- « of tho: Tate themselves that things are in much better shape here than in many other cities which lay claim to distinction. We have not here any such excessive overcrowding as seems to be common in Brooklyn. It is frequently the case that a teacher in this city has a greater number of pupils than one teacher can possibly do justice to— especially in the lower grades—but the Brooklyn record eclipses completely our weakness in that respect. An official re- Port in that city says: “If we take 60 as the largest number of pupils that one teacher can instruct with any degree of effectiveness and the largest number that may occupy an ordinary class- room without danger to health, it appears that in October last there were 377 classes in which the condition of efféctive teaching and hygienic precaution did not exist. . Of these classes, 231 had registers between 69 and 70; 65 classes had registers between 70 and 80; 22 classes had registe-s between 80 and 90; 18 classes had registers between 90 and 100; 2 classes had registers between 100 and 110; 16 classes had registers be- tween 120 and 130; 4 classes had registers be- tween 130 and 140; 2 classes had registers between 140 and’ 15 ; While one class reached the enormous total of 158.” In Detroit the conditions are very dis- tressing indeed, for there the board of education says “New High Schools should have been erected five years ago and thus have avoid- ed the crowded condition of today. ‘The pupils who are now compelled to go through this school hampered and cramp- ed will never recover from the ill effects occasioned by loss of opportunities due them from the city. * * * Seventy-five per cent of all our children who enter school have left at the age of twelve. If we have taught them how to read we have dene well.” In spite of the disadvantages consequent upon congressional failure to appropriate money that lay idle in the treasury, Wash- ington has done much more than appears to have been accomplished in most cities elsewhere, and if the plans of the authori- ties do but receive the congressional at- tention to which they eze entitled, Wash- ington will within a year or two have, as it ought to have, a model public school system. Money intelligently devoted to the education of the young yields greater Profits than can possibly accrue from any other form of financial investment. —_- +++ —___ This is a rapidly-moving age; an era of eiectricity and high-pressure steam; a day when men calmly and confidently discuss acrial navigation at rates of speed far in excess of those possible to even the swift- «st of birds. It is, therefore, not at all sur- prising that tne spirit of celerity should be fo.rd in the movement of the Washington Baseball Club. In bygone years that or- ganization toiled steadily and succe fully, but as a rule slowly, toward its ing place at the tail-end of the league, but ‘lis year the club has let out several ad- Citienal links, and with a remarkable d play of speed rushes into last place while | the season is less than three weeks Old.

Appreciation. “That girl in front of us is very fond of opera,” said the young woman at the theater. “She must be,” replied the young man. “From the size of her hat you’d think she was afraid some of it might get past her.” Happy Medium. Now does the man whose head is bald See life with kindly eyes; It’s quite too late for chilly drafts And ‘most too soon for flies. A Substantial Possibility. “The conditions of the poor cannot be mended,” said the sententious theorist. “Oh, maybe they can to some extent,” responded the practical man; “with a po- tato patch. The Course of True Love. “Bridget,” said Mrs. Houskip, “I under- stand that you have jilted the man who drives the ice wagon for the milkman.” “Thrue fer yez, ma’am. Oi hov thot same,” was the reply. “And that damp spot on the doorstep Is all there is to show for the twenty pounds of icé we take?” ‘Yis’m.”” “Well, Bridget, you can either arrange to be a sister to both of them or you can lcok for another place.”* Luxury. “Dese capitalists is always gettin’ up some way ter injy delirselfs on a grand scale,” remarked Plodding Pete. “Think o’ dem fellers gittin’ up a whisky pool.” “Great guns!” sighed Meandering Mike, ecstatically. “Ef I c’ud find one o’ dem I'd be almost tempted tu take a bath.” Proof. “Mrs. Meekton’s husband is a terribly shiftless man,” said one of the members of the Society of Emancipated Women. “How do you know?” “His wife has gone around for @ays with a button cff her vest and her suspender fastened by a hairpin.” —___+ e+____ Editor Hemphill is Willing.
