4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. ‘seseeees Sully 13, 1895. YROSBY S. NOYES.. . Editor, = MRE 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. t7In 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 Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. re Alexander R. Shepherd has, for a few days, r@urned to the city of his making. ‘Twenty years ago there was no more prom- dnent target for abuse and calumny than Governor Shepherd. Many of the men who were his short-sighted assailants at that time now see more clearly and are among his warmest admirers. About seven years ago the ex-governcr visited this city .for the first time since he departed to self- impored exile in a foreign land. At that ‘time he was welcomed with such honors as are paid by but few communities to even the most distinguished individuals, and there was no lack of evidence as to the esteem in which he was held by the people generally. Today there have been no cere- monial welcomes nor has there been any popular demonstration—the governor being here merely on a brief, flying visit—yet all these things would have materialized with ease had there been serious proposition and opportunity to do public honor to the man whose debtor Washington will always be. ‘He comes to enjoy some of the municipal conditions he created and which but for his courageous energy would not even now be fn existence. He would be more than hu- man if he did not exult in the contrast be- tween the pleasant home-coming of today and the departure in 1879. Rarely indeed are monuments erected to living men, therefore there iseno counterfeit present- meit of the great governor in any of our arks—some of these days there will be— ut there is less necessity for a statue of ‘Alexander R. Shepherd than would appear at first glance. From the Capitol to every boundaty of the territory set apart for the seat of government there is one continuing monument to the greatness and unfinching devotion of the man who cheerfully sac- Tificed his best interests ‘that the plans of those who founded the city of Washington might materialize. All hail to him! —_!_+ +o ____ Eoston is being blessed just now by the presence within it of the most healthful sort of enthusiasm. It has been estimated by conservative statisticians that there are Seventy-five thousand members of the United Society of Christian Endeavor in the big Massachusetts city today. The En- deavorers have been for some days past and still are assembled in annual conven- tion to transact the business which must be attended to in order that the good work Which Endeavorers everywhere are doing ™may be continued with added industry and even more satisfying success than has been known in the prior history of the organiza- tion. But while these seventy-five thousand young people—for. most of them are in full enjoyment of youthful vigor—are intent on business matters, they are none the less deeply interested in the people whose guests they to some extent are, and as evidence of this Interest bands of Endeavorers tof! ear- ly and late for the betterment of those Bostonians who seem to need advice and encouragement not only as to religious but as to worldly matters. In every quarter of old Boston have been heard the inspiring songs and prayers of the Endeavorers and it is safe to say that the city will be much the better for having entertained the great host which represents the crusader’s sp:rit of the Protestant church. Next year the convention will be held in Washington, and, unless all the signs fail, there will be more than a hundred thousand of the missionary element assembled for consultation and evangelistic work at the national cupital. That the convention will be warmly wel- comed and well cared for goes without s: ing. « Warden Leonard of the District Jail will do the right thing if he 4 s pa to witness the execution that Probably to take place next Friday, except to those persons whoze presence may be ne ry.

Of inate years the Chinaman has become quite a feature of city life in the east, and J ver been as conspicuous yond the Rockies, he has, nev- d himself quite solidly y community where anything like ment was offered him. Shrewd makers, these Chinese—most of them laundrymen—asked just about as much in the way of remuneration as was demanded by their Caucasian competitors, holding in reserve thelr great powers of retrenchment and reduced rates until smaller profits should be compelled by keener competition. This time seems to have arrived in the District of Columbia, for now a large number of Americans who are employed by American laundry pro- prietors find themselves startlingly menaced by the cut-rate opposition of the Chinese clothes-washers. In all ages man has been inclined to buy what he needed in the cheapest market, and it is this inclination which gives to the local Chinese laundries support for the lack of which many Amer- ican men and women are now actually suf- fering. Those who patronize Chinese laun- dries make no allegations of overcharging or inferior workmanship against the laun- dries with which they have elected not to deal, so it is fair to presume that the rates assessea by the American operators are not unreasonable in themselves. The con- ditions under which Chinese of the Iaun- drymen class live cannot be borne by self- respecting Americans, so competition—if it comes down to that—is entirely out of the question. Most of the patrons of Chi- nese laundries are men who have to toil with their hands; if they would only have a little practical consideration for the fel- low-beings with whom they have racial fellowship they would undoubtedly do great good without working any injustice even to the Chinaman, who is here with- out invitation. —____+ = —____ It seems a pity that America, with all her boastfulness of being the center of activity in most of the mechanical arts, should fall so far behind as to be just beginning to think of adopting the horseless carriage that has today become so common in the streets of Paris as to attract little atten- tion. The field for this form of motor in a city with street surfaces Eke these of Washington is too promising to be neg- lected. Already the thougit of using one or another form of the automatic vehicle has occurred to the managers of some of New York's great department stores, which are put to enormous expense annually for the maintenance of large stables of horses for their delivery departments. It is esti- mated that the petroleum carriage can be economically substituted for the wagon drawn by horses, and there are many other ways of utilizing in commerce this new development ofthe genius of the inventor. It is no stretch of the imagination to pic- ture the streets of the large cities of the world in ten years as so filled with these mechanical motors that the sight of a horse drawing a vehicle will be a curiosity as great as was the first safety bicycle, about ten or twelve years ago. This means, of course, the abandonment of that noble animal as a beast of burden, and al- ready the journals of the country are be- ginning to discuss the future of the horse, which, however hard-pressed it may be by nfechanics, will never be wholly abandoned by men, but will always be cherished as the finest of the brute creation, —_—___++«____ How things have changed in the west! Only a few years ago and the Indian— whose title to the soil and ‘the products of nature could not honestly be questloned— was practically monarch of the mountains and the plains. He roamed at will and lived mainly as the result of his aciivity in the chase. Yesterday there came’ from Wyoming information to thé effect that a number of Bannack Indians had been kill- ing game “iller+Jly” and that as the result of that “illegal” conduct an encounter had resulted with some of the law-protecting white people, in which one Indian was killed and others injured; fifteen Indians were arrested, No clearer evidence of the change in far western conditions could be furnished than the incarceration of Rocky Meuntain Indians for killing the -game which to their forefathers had been free as the air they breathed or the rushing tor- rents whence they captured fish for food in season and out of season. ————_-e-____ There is a danger in the presence of the caterpillars that are today destroying some of the finest of Washington’s shade trees that is not confined to the trees alone. It has been found that the extremely fine hairs with which the back of the insect is covered are apt, in case of collision, to penetrate the conjunctiva or outer coating of the human eye, and are then nearly sure to cause a painful inflammation that is very difficult to reduce. If tne injury is not reached at once by remedies the vision may be seriously impaired. These facts are important to every inhabitant of a city so plagued with the pests as is Washington at present, and children should be especially d from handling the worms, which, which is being displayed by the Treasury Department authorities in the new city post-office building.

THE WEEK. Many lives were lost in Missouri and Kansas by a storm that swept over the eastern watershed of the Recky moun- tain country, and devastated farm property and growing products throughout that re- gion. The great Christian Endeavor con- vention opened in Boston; services were held in two big tents on Boston Common and in Mechanics’ Hall. One thousand dele- gates were at the opening exercises of the sixth annual convention of the National Young People’s Union of the Universalist Church in Boston. Negotiations are pend- irg between the Navy Department and the Cramps relative to making a practical test of the turret now used on modern war- ships. Judge Woods reinstated his former order in the cases against the A. R. U. men, making their sentences concurrent instead ‘of cumulative. The Minnesota supreme court has granted a stay of pro- ceedings in the case of Harry Hayward. J. H. Ormandy and his wife, son and daughter were arrested in Los Angeles, Cal., for conducting an extensive counter- feiting establisnment in the outskirts of the city. Thomas McKean has made a second donation of $50,000 to the endow- ment fund for broadening the scope of the University of Pennsylvania. The livery stables of G. F. Case in Detroit were burned; five persons were burned to death. At a conference in Atlantic City of prominent officials of the Order of Elks it was agreed to compromise the differ- ences existing between the two factions; by the falling of a floor during a social session nearly 200 were injured, one possi- biy fatally. The weavers employed at a number of ingrain carpet mills in Phila- delphia went out. A figit occurred be- tween settlers and Barnack Indians south of the llowstone Park, in Wyoming, and one Indian was killed and fifteen cap- tured. Two unknown men robbed the ticket offices of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Harper’s Ferry; they got about $200. The Colored Editors’ Association at Baltimore passed resolutions condemning lyrch law and the imprisom t of ex- Consul Waller of Madagascér. Fifteen thousand teachers are attending the Na- tional Educational Association convention at Denver. Fifty houses have been de- stroyed by fire at Lorneville, a suburb of Cornwall, Ont., and 800 people are rendered homeless; great distress prevails; one child was burned to death. s Foreign. General elections in Great Britain and Ireland for the new parliament were begun yesterday. The event of the week in Eng- land was the Henley regatta, owing to the presence of crews from the United States, Canada and Holland; of these only the Hollanders were successful, the Cornell University crew winning one heat by a fluke, and collapsing in the second, and the Canadians being barely beaten in their first heat. Mr. Gladstone in an address to the liberals of London advocates the granting of “the just constitutional claims of Ireland.” An express train filled with pilgrims going to the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre was wrecked on the Grand Trunk railroad near Levis, Canada; thir- teen persons were killed and a score or more wounded. The French chamber of" deputies adopted a motion that the govern- ment open negotiations with the United States for the conclusion of a permanent treaty of arbitration. The ministerial crisis in Chile threatens to involve the resignation of the president. Bolivia sent an ultimatum to Peru, demanding satis- faction for offenses committed during the civil war. Elght persons were arrested in Mcscow, charged with a conspiracy against the life of the czar. Severe earthquake shocks have been experienced in the Cas- pian and Ural districts; many houses have been destroyed at Usunada, Astrachan and Krasnovodsk. German warships have ar- rived at Tangier, with orders 4o insist upon the payment by the government of Morocco of indemnity of 8,000 marks for the murder of a*German citizen, named Rockstrop. United States Minister Taylor at Madrid called upon the Spanish minister of foreign affairs and officially denied the purported interview with Ambassador Eustis at Paris on the affairs in Cuba. In the Distrigt. As the result of the competition at the interstate drill at St. Louis a team from company 8B, second bettalion (National Rifles), won the second prize in the maiden drill and the third prize in the free-for-all class, while Corporal F. W. Albert secured the fourth prize in the individual contest; a reception was given to the team on their return to this city. The tie-up on the Ana- costia railroad contipues, as dees the car- penters’ strike at the Catholic University. In the case of the Eckington road the order asked for to restrain the District Commis- sioners from removing the overhead elec- tric wires on New York avenue was re- fused by the court; an appeal was entered, which may enable the company to continue the use of the wires till the Court of Ap- peals meets in the fall. it Was is- ad Com- pany for preliminary survey of the F street line, preparatory to putting down the un- derground electric system, the equipment of the 9th street line being practically com- pleted. In the vestry contest case of St. Mark’s P. E. Church further legal proceed- ings were deferred until the final hearing in the fall. Henry Clay England of Rock- ville, Md., lost his life by being run over by an electric car at Kensington, Md. Ths corner stone for the Eckington Presby- terian Sunday school building was laid.
