4 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. BATURDAY............... July 27, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has permanent circalntion much more regular and than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. [7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personnal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Fditorinl or Business Dep: ment: according to tenor or purpose. Local street-railroad circles are disturbed by rumors and counter-rumors as to the acquirement of suburban facilities by the powerful and wealthy Washington and Georgetown Company. Similar allegations have been made as to the Metropolitan Company, but the facts have not yet been given to the public. Whatever be the foundation upon which the stories in cir- culation are based, it must be insisted that the trunk-line companies will blunder seri- ously if they do not reach out after and secure either the suburban roads already im operation or rights to make such exten- sions as the public believes should be made. Already has the extension idea taken root in the administrative mind of the Wash- ingtor ard Georgetown Company, for that corporation Is on record as being more than willing to run lines out 22d street and 14th street extended; it has commenced operations on its extension to the Aque- duct Bridge. It is not for The Star to point ont the lines of extension-investment which promise much profit, but It is entirely within the newspaper province to suggest that one or other af the two big companies fn this city should specdily get possession of these roads which are too poor to do bustness in a business-itke way. Of these, the Anacostia road is one—confessedly un- @ble either to pay Its employes living wages or tc make decent appearance — while is the Eckington and Soldiers’ road—the poverty of which is as- gwerted to he so great (notwithstanding the wealth of the outside capitalists who own ‘most of its stock) that it cannot afford to purehase such a mechanical equipment as can legally be operated within the city mits. Both these roads tap a country that is thickly populated at night by peo- ple who live in Washington during the day- ; time both would therefore be valuable feeders to elther the Washington and Georgetown or Metropolitan companies. ‘There are other suburban lines that per- tors to the great volume of urban Street railroad traffic; they should all be concentrated as much as possible as to management, for then would ensue econ- omical operation, and, as the result of one fare—instead as now of two or three fares }d follow suburban growth and con- sequent increase of street railroad business. Enterprise pays in any industry. —__ + e+ —___ It fs now the duty cf every citizen to carefully economize the water supply of the city, as an emergency has unexpectedly arisen that practically puts a limit on the amount of water available for distribution for the next forty-eight hovrs at least. It is expected that the equilibrium between the Dalecarlla and the distributing reser- votrs will be restored within two days, but meanwhile it is best for all the peo- ple to realize that there may be delays in the process and that their sole supply of water is that which is now contained in the distributing reservoir. This is unfortunately the season when water {s mst lavishly used, and it will of course be a hardship on all to economize. Yet it is .bsolutely ersentia] that care should be ®xerzised during the coming tours in the use of water for all purposes. There is this consclaticn that the emer- gency once safely passed, such contingency will hardly aguin arise for a long time, as the receiving reservoir at Dalecarlla will Row be added to the city’s system of supply and distribution, and in event of trouble in the future the great capacity of this basin will be added to that of the distributing reservoir, so that in case there is a sudden stoppage of the sup- ply from the vonduit the city will be pro- vided with at least twice the quantity of water that Is now available for immediate uge. —____2-6 = _____ Failure to unseat the Alexandria county officials who were alleged to have been electe| by illegal methods leaves Alex- andria county affairs in a very unsatis- factory condition, yet one that must be borne until, at the next election, the peo- ple of the county have an opportunity to express their Judgment as tc whether their -law ofiicers have or have not exerted them- selves to defeat the purposes of the stat- utes which they have sworn to uphold. The condition however !s cosiderably better than It was prior to the election. Sheriff Palmer is a marked improvement upon his Predecessor and will no doubt close out the emali-fry gamblers; Governor O’Ferrall will probably proceed against the foreign- bookmakers in such a fashion as to dis- courage them completely away from the sacred soil. At the next session of the Virginia legislature strenuous effort will be Made by reputable Virginians, assisted by their friends In the District of Columbia, to bring about the enactment of such laws as may be necessary to purify Alexandria county’s pest-holes. In all this matter Washington is deeply Interested; it does not want to have a den of law-breakers located right at its back door. _—— Eighty-four woréers of fron and wood and stone and other more or less plastic material were employed today on the new ¢ity post office building. —_ + e + ___ People wko favor lawlessness seem to de- Tive 2 great deal of satisfaction from lam- poontng and abusing Theodore Roosevelt. —__- + = ___ The capitalists of the country are ap- parently awakening to the fact that some- thing must soon be done with the water power that is going to waste so inexcus- ably in all parts of the continent, and it fs not surprising to find instances of the utilization of the Agnerican rivers, to turn the armatures of the dynamos and the spindles of the factories, coming to light every few weeks. The latest case in which the force of a stream has been used to furnish a city with power is at Sacramento, where an electric current is transmitted twenty-three miles, and, so far as known, at an ecenomical rate. The Niagara current has to go through twenty- two miles of wire before reaching Buffalo, the nearest large city, and still more won- derful achievements are hoped for from the tremendous power at the Falls, the greatest source of natural energy in the ¢ountry, and probably in the world. Here Washington the case is much more simple, as far as the distance from the ¢ity to the source of power is concerned. Great Falls is but eighteen miles away, and the smaller cascades are less than half that distance from what would probably be the sites of factories if such a power be produced and distributed cheaply. @re some difficulties to be overcome that have not interfered with the Success of the projects at Niagara or in California, but they are surely not of a character to deter energetic, brainy men from pushing to completion an enterprise that has such a great future. The gov- ernment should years ago have taken defi- nite steps towards the utilization of the power either at Great or Little Falls, or both, and it is a somewhat melancholy spectacle to behold this vast possibility slipping past the city every hour. Wash- ington should today be enjoying all the power that it needs from these cataracts. It is regarded as probably true that one of tire motives for the location of the na- tional capital at this point was its prox-" imity to what the advocates of the site realized would eventually prove a val- uable source of power supply. Modern in- vention has since then more than covered the gap between the possible and the ap- parently impossible, and there is today no meckarical obstacle in the way of a profitable use of the river for the produc- tion of electric currents that cannot by the exercise of slight ingenuity be over- come. Greater achievements by far than that which a successful harnessing of the Potomac would represent have been ac- complished on every hand. If the mighty Niagara can be subdued and made subject to the will of man, surely the Potomac can te tamed and made to do the work of the city. + 2 _____ Secretary Carlisle has reasonably decided that bulls are not “immoral instruments” and can not therefore be kept out of tne country when someone seeks to import them for fighting purposes, and that the bull-fizhters themselves can not be ex- cluded under the alien contract-labor law. There is, however, no real local sentiment in favor of the fights. There is a good deal of sport in the average American. It shows itself in the patronage bestowed upon all manner of games that are exhibitions of skill and endurance, and upon fights he- tween well-matcned specimens of the hu- man race. But the unequal, unsportsman- like exhibition of brutality known as a bull fight has never found favor tn this climate. These disgusting spectacles are not typical of the south, old or new. They can not be re- garded as characteristic of the people of the land. They are foreign, in th grain and esseace of their theory and p: tice. If the Exposition is to be representa- of the civilization of the south no worse spectacle could be eh se If the fights are to be simply pecmitied as means of entertainment it is Goubtful whether they will be popular. In Spain the people flock by the thousand to the bull-ring beca! from childhood they have been trained to enjoy the spectacle of an enraged bull dis: embowelling a number of w , trem- bling, blindfolded horses, w fo run away or resist, and of an exhausted bull slain by a sword-stroke. Travell m characteris and as such with tie sight of the couniry, its multitude of Spanish spectators, men and women, old and young, they find it interesting. But when the Spanish atmos- phere and surroundings are removed and all that is left is the brutal slaughter of helpless blindfolded horses and a tired- out bull, the main effect upon the average American observer will be to make him sick at the stomach. The agility of the bandilleros, who on foot thrust sharp- barbed darts into the bu!l and dodge his rushes, and the skill of the matador who in- flicts with a sword the death stroke, will | continue to excite admiration, but to suit American tastes the horses of the picadores must be permitted to see the approaching bull and to have a chance for their lives. If a party of cowboys, with lassoes and re- volvers, and mounted cn trained horses, were substituted for the picadores, an ex- hibition of horsemanship under exciting and dangerous conditions would be given that would have decided attractions. But the spectacle of a pleadore forcing hts shrinking, blinded horse sidewfse toward the bull, in order that the animal may be the more conveniently ripped up, and of the gored horse tottering about the arena with bleeding entraiis protruding, is enough to make every man of us a member of the Humane Soclety. ——- sae e__. The old, old jealousy between the east and west has cropped up once more in Rochester, N. ¥. A Chicago girl—an op- erator upon the typewriter and the rider of a bicycle—appeared at the office of her em- ployer yesterday and was promptly dis- charged; not because she was from Chi- cago or because she lacked skill as a type- writer, but because her nether limbs were attired in uncompromising bloomers. It was admitted by the unsympathetic Roch- ester employer that bloomers might be en- tirely proper in the lakeside city, but he declared loudly that whatever one man could do to Keep the blighting bloomer away from Rochester would be cheerfully dore by him. Yet the probabilities are that this same being would vote unani- mously to compel every male blanket-wear- ing Indian to put the Indian legs inside a pair of government “pants.” “++, Discovery has just been made down in the little village of Ford, Ky., that the negro, Robert Haggard, who wae tynched there a few days since because he had been cherged with assaulting a young white lady, was innocent of the offense for which he was. brutally maltreated and finally murdered. Lynchings are disgrace- ful enough when the victims are guilty, but there is something especially horrible in the public and illegal killing of a man who has done nothing whatever to deserve the extreme penalty. Will the county cr state authorities punish the murderers cf Haggard? —__ + =—___ It is not likely that the bull-fighting fea- ture of the Atlanta Exposition will assume any important proportions.

From the New York Herald. The “newest” woman appeared in the shopping district yesterday, clad in well- fitting and correctly creased knickerbock- ers, 2 modest jacket, a pearl colored Alpine hat, leggings and walking bocts. She en- tered several stores in Twenty-third street, and when she reached Broadway stood calmly on a crosswalk and hailed an up- town cable car, THE WEEK. Much of the news during the past week has been connected with the criminal career of H. H. Holmes, who 1s imprisoned in Philadelphia, charged with conspiring to defraud an insurance company out of $10,- 000; bis crimes extend over wide distances, fncluding operasions in Fort Worth, Texas, St. Paul, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, In- dianapolis and St. Louls; since the finding of the bodies of the two Pitzel children in Toronto last week, bones, jewelry and articles of wearing apparel have been found in the building erected and owned by Holmes in Chicago, which seemed to indi- cate murders committed there; the num- ber of mysterious disappearances of per- sons assoctat2d with Holmes is phenom- enal, ani the detectives are confused by the multiplicity of clews continually being dis- covered. The Bannack Indians, whose home is on the Wind river, Wyoming, having gone off of the reservation to hunt same, have caused a panic among the settlers in the Jackson Hole country adjoiniag, and Gen. Coppinger, with a detachment cavalry, has been crdered to the sc: protect settlers, and force the Indjans to return to the reservation; rspeated rumors have been circulated as to the m: re settlers, none of which thus far have Tes contirmed. Throughout the west succes heavy rain storms have flooded streams and caused great destruction of property in the form of bridges, corn fields and buildings on low lands; Silver City, New Mexico, su tained severe damage from a freshet. Ke- korts over a wide rarge of territory in the west indicate a general prevalence of smut in the wheat.which will materially decrease the output. Strikes in the iroa regions of northern Michigan have continued, with upward of 10,000 miners idle, and interrupt- ing trade. Strikes of lesser stze have cc- curred in the Shamokin region, in Pennsyl- vania, which are likely, if contiaued, to lead to ene of gigantic magnitude. Foretxn. ‘The tragic features in the foreign news of the week just closing were the sinking of the Italian steamer Maria P., in *elli- sion with the Ortegia at the entrance of the Gulf of Genoa, by which 150 lives were lost, the rout of the Spanish regulars at Manzanilla, in which Gen. Campos was wounded and Gen. Santocildes killed. The funeral of Stambouloff at Sofia was con- verted into a riot; all Europe is aroused by the assassination of the ex-premier, and it is likely from reports received during the week that Prince Ferdinand will be depesed in consequence of hi re- sponsibility for the ex-premier.

Another of the law's efforts to abate the -trolley nuisance Was the notification by the District Com- missioners to the Eckington company that | if the trolley poles on North Capitol street were not taken dewn within ten days they would be removed by the authorities. The hardest blow yet received by the overhead trolley, however, was that delivered during this week when it became plainly apparent that the underground electrics: which has been installed on the 9th street line of the Metropolitan company, is a com- plete success. Exploration of the Aqueluct tunnel by a Star reporter, in company with the army engineer officers who have imme- diate charge of the work of investization revealed the probability of the long dis- credited “hole in the ground” being put to uses for which it was planned. Wednesilay | morning, at an early hour, the Young Men’s Christian Association building was com- pletely destroyed by fire, and considerable damage was ught in the adjoining | buildings, ocenpled by C.

Judge Kimball of the Police Court having depart- ed for his summer vacation, his place on the bench is being filled by Justice of the Peace Scott.

He Found It Desfrable. “Yes,” said the patient pedestrian, “I find it desirable to walk to business every day.” “What for?” “As a method of prolonging ilfe.” “Ah, you need the exercise?” “It isn’t that. The only road I can take is a trolley road.” A Distinction. “It isn't what ye do,” remarked Clarence Fitz Hautbeau, “that always counts in de- termining a man’s prosperity.” “No,” replied Reginald de Bumme; “It’s who ye do, more’n what ye do, dat signi- fies.”” Contrast.
