4 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. : SATURDAY, August 3, 1895. TROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. = WHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailtes, As a News and Advertising Medium it b mo competitor. G7 lm order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of personnal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed toe any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ee Beautiful and altogether desirable as is ‘Washington of today, there will probably be wrought .n the near future changes which will make it incomparaply the most attractive residence city In the world. Much of the work of improvement will of course be done within those bounds that for some mysterious reason have been de- nominated the city limits, but the most marvelous changes are to come in what @re now the sunurbs. In spite of serious lack of transportation facilities, there has been great growth about the bordérs of the ational capital; what will follow after the extension of this city's principal street rail- road lines and of the city’s streets them- selves into what has practically been in- accessible territory may only be guessed at. It has been the experience in all American cities that the tendency of home-makers is toward green elds and running water and fresh air. This tendency niay be repressed either by the complete absence of trans- Portation facilities or by service so expen- sive as to be too heavy a tax upon the ossessors of small inecmes. A new day, lowever, seems to be dawning. With -the example set by the consolidation of the Washington and Gecrgetown and Hock Creek roads, similar proceedings may rea- sonably be looked for in other suburban directions. When it will be possible to travel from the business center of the city to the District line for one tare—six tickets for twenty-five cents—then will follow heavy and profitable travel along the lines of the roads effecting the consolidation, as well as development of the suburbs, and the ‘up-building of the Greater Washington. —_—__+ ++ ____ Chicago deserves to succeed. It is a wonderful city in very many respects and while it is far from belng municipally per- fect it is nevertheless in much better con- dition than are many other of the more important cities in the United States. Chicagoans are as a rule demonstratively proud of their place of residence and they have reason to be if there were no other cause for pride thin the fact that the electric elevated railroad which is now be- ing so satisfactorily operated above the Street level of the lakeside city has its many fourdations and supports resting upen ground which Is the property of the company owning the railroad. This is uch an extraordinary fact that it merits special comment. The regulation method ef railroac proceure—demonstrated very annoyingly, so far as the public is con- cerned, in Washington—is to secure by leg- fslation or ctherwise possession of as many and as much of the public streets as may be needed for the purposes of the company, withcut.any regard whatever for the rights of thevsands of individuals who, becatise they are not banded together in one organization with their respective bank accounts and energies combined, are regarded as legitimate prey. Sedate, elderly communities may refer filppantly to Chi- cago as “fresh” and may even accuse it of the horrible crime o* youthfulness, but It is extremely encouraging to find that the lakeside city is not bound, to its own material disadventage, by precedents that serlously hamper some of its venerable critics. . é —____+ + _____ The sympathies of the entire community are with the parents of Ernest Green who was yesterday deprived of life without just cause. The extremely-unfortunate occur- rence will undoubtedly be regretted hy Miss Flagler so long as she lives, and it is certain that she and other members of her family will do what they can to assuage the grief of the stricken man and woman who today mourn the loss of one who was to them most dear. Two lessons are con- spicuously taught by the shooting and its fatal results. One of these lessons should Warn, the young that there is safety only in avoiding all appearance of evil; had there been no attempt to meddle with the fruit-tree which Mirs Flagler defended, the casualty could not have occurred. The other lesson should warn young and old alike of the dangers that continually exist in the hasty and reckiess use of fire-arms. For a small offending a bright, happy boy has been sacrificed and by the lack of calm judgment for a few moments a refined wo- man has condemned herself to years of mental torment. ———_+ + —____ If there had been any real weakness in the cause of the thousands of tailors who struck in New York because other means of betterment had falled, the employers would have discovered it at once. That there was justice beneath and behind the claims of the wage-earners is proven by the speedy surrender of so many of those who insisted upon the “sweating-system” because it was more profitable than any other of the clothing-construction methods. Of course, there is rejoicing among the tailors’ organizations in Gotham, but the clothes-wearing public has almost as much to be thankful for as have the successful tailors. —- +e » —-—___ ‘The progress which the electric system fs making on Ninth street is throwing a number of horses out of work.

The average gratification should be and doubt- less is much greater at the national capital than in any other one place, for it was here that the famous ship was planned and it ‘was in honor of the territory where the cen- ter of general government Is situated that the cruiser received the name “Columbia.” It was of this magnificent specimen of ‘American naval architecture and American construction that European crttics have een saying things not exactly pleasant or iplimentary, Some of these same critics ghanged their opinions considerably when they saw the Columbia at Kiel and now ie the first of our commerce-destroyers crossed the Atlantic in less than seven ys there will have to be another revision belief, or at least of utterance. It can fely be asserted that while the great ritime powers of the world have a much variety of craft to draw from than the United States, there does not float more han one other ship that is capable of doing rhat the Columbia has done, and that ship the Columbia's sister, “Minneapolis.” ‘fhe average speed for the entire trip was 18.41 knots; a tesult considerably in excess of anything that was claimed even by those who belleved the Columbia to have great gontinuous speed under all sea conditions, Ig no other navy is there a cruiser that could do so well for even twenty-four con- secutive hours; in fact it is not likely that any foreign government would, unless there was serious exigency, risk the forcing of one of their great fighting-machines at the limit of power for so long a voyage, even supposing the coal-carrying capacity to be sufficient. On this side of the Atlantic there were critical experts who questioned whettrer the Columbla’s engines—which are by no means heavy when the developed horse-power is taken into cons!deration—- could stand the pressure of such a test as that In which the good ship has come off victorious; hereafter the doubters must cease to doubt, while those whose predic- tions have gone completely astray will for a while be compelled to keep silence. What the practical results of this record-breaking voyage may be can probably be foreshadow- ed with reasonable accuracy. In the first Place, Congress will be likely to recognize the value of cruisers so swift that they can undoubtedly capture—with perhaps two ex- ceptions—every merchant steamer they may start out to overtake. In the second place, there will be a great awakening among the naval authorities in the dider lands. This Was succinctly predicted by a naval officer in yesterday's Star, who said: “T think It safe to say that the run of the Columbia. taken in connection with the fact that by the use of her forced draft during twenty-four hours she could easily have re- duced her time at least two hours. will give ™ore concern ‘to the British admiralty than any achievement that has been accom- pilshed by a naval vessel not under the British flag since the appearance of the lit- tle Monitor in Hampton Roads, during our last war. They would rather see the already Promising navy of the United States in- creased by three of the finest battleships afloat than to have {t nosses a fiver such as the Columbia. Thev have battleships in plenty themselves with which they could corner our own limited fleet of these craft, but they have nothing that could capture the Columbia, which would be free to scour the seas and inflict untold loss upon British commerce. They have never liked her since she was christened ‘The Pirate” in a jok- ing spirit by one of our engineers. who had much to do with executing the details of the plans for this triple screw ship. With a Painful recollection of the ravages commit- ted by the Alabama they cannot eontem- plate with equanimity the. possibility of what might happen with a ship so superior to her in every way as the Columbia loose upon the high seas.” Some of these days the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia may do what they ought to have done long ago, and that is present to the cruiser named in honor of their place of habitation some tangible recognition of kinship—a service of silver or, better still, a first class library. Other cities have done so when war-ships have been christened with their respective names. If any of our naval vessels deserve to be honored, and honored conspicuously, it is the Columbia. ——___ = ____ Education in England is being assisted In a most remarkable fashion hy Ambassador Bayard, who, when not engaged in study- Ing the beauties of the English character as it is seen in English homes and English music-halls and on English streets, engages in the dificult task of faithfully portraying to the English people that remarkable per- sonage--the American man. Yesterday was one of those days when the American am- bassador talked to the little boys whose ideas as to people and affairs on this side of the Atlantic are scmewhat vague. Prizes were presented by the ambassador to successful pupils at the grammar school at Bcston—the old, ¢rigiral Boston whence the so-called Hub got its name—and after the presentation ceremonies were over there was a banquet, at which the mayor bestowed upoa the ambassador the inevita- ble illuminated address, to which, of course. the ambassador made what he deemed to be suitable respoase. In the course of that response the statesman from Delaware called the attention of his auditors to the fact that tha office of President of the United States was not only one of great dignity, but one of responsibility and pro- fic of anxiety. That statement having been made, Mr. Bayard went on to tell the open-mouthed Englishmen that the Presi- dent stood in the midst of a self-confident and oftentimes violent people, and that it took just such a man as Mr. Cleveland to govern them. Of course, all that the am- bassador said was swallowed whole, and previous British impressions as to the sav- age and lawless Cisposition of the white and red and black men who inhabit this country were confirmed beyond the possti- bility of doubt. In the minds of some of those present, parallels were doubtless in- stituted between the governing methods of Grover Cleveland and of Porfirio Diaz in the stormiest of recent Mexican history, and for the drawing of these parallels the American amba3sador will have to shoulder the responsibility. The Cleveland he sketched was Cleveland the Dictator, and while it may be that Mr. Cleveland would like to be a dictator, there is no more of a chance of his becoming one in this country than there is of Mr. Bayard becoming un- popular in England. President Cleveland cften does the rizht thing; sometimes he is wreng; very rarely dces he do a ridiculous thing. It is therefore most unkind for Mr. Bayard to put Mr. Cleveland in an attitude where these “self-confident and oftentimes violent people” cannot do otherwise than laugh at the figure he cuts. —__ e = ____. Elsewhere in The Star are printed the opinions of some representative working- men concerning the proposed boycott of national bank notes. Generalizing from these expressions, it would appear that the views of most workingmen on the sub- ject do not differ from those of other sersi- ble persons. There is general condemnation of this boycott, which, if ineffective, would 1re-act injuriously upon those responsible for It, for boycotts are unpopular, and, lke revo- lutions, justified only by success; and which, if effective, would spread evil results broadcast. The successful boycott would be hurtful (1) because at a time when the people call for some expansion of the currency it would tend to contract the currency; and (2) because at a time when returning con- fidence 1s bringing with it.a general re- vival of business it would tend to shake that confidence, to foster the distrust that leads to panic, and to annoy and hamper in its financial operations our already em- barrassed government, which patriotism sheuld impel us at this juncture by all means to support. The effective boycott would slap Uncle Sam in the face and lock hands as a congenial associate with finan- cial panic and business disaster. But there does not appear to be one chance In a hundred that the boycott will be seriously regarded. It is apt to be treated by workingmen generally as merely a firing of blank cartridges, a spectacular demonstration of hostility to the rational banks, designed perhaps to influence public sentiment and future congressional legis- lation concerning the republic’s financial system. —_——_++e____ Possibly Senator Quay is following the unfortunate example of ancther great man who “went into the ring once too often.” ——_+ e > ____ Senator Gorman ts the easiest man in the world to get along with in politics.

The sensation caused by the apparently well-founded report that Holmes, the in- surance swindler, under arrest in Phila- delphis, had been guilty of a number of murders, has proved ito have more than nine days of Iife; it has now become a series of singuiar contradictions, and tho Chicago police are alternately exultant and discouraged. A cloudburst and high rivers have caused great damage in Colorado and New Mexico, particularly at Adelaide and Socorro, amd over a score of dead bodies have been found; houses have been de- molished and crops ruined. The democratic state convention of Maryland nominated John E. Hurst of Baltimore for governor, Marion DeKalb Smith for controller, and Charles C. Crothers for attorney. general; there has been some dissatisfaction among democrats, owing to the rejection of Sen- ator Hayes, the reassessment candidate, and the selection of Mr. Hurst, who has been a strong opponent. About 20,000 mem- bers of the Brotherhood of Tailors: haye been on strike against piece work in the cities of New York, Brooklyn and Newark. Mining operators signed an agreement in Pittsburg by which the miners’ demands are acceded to, and a big strike prevented. George Allen, one of the men who kidnaped Lawyer O. O. Cottle for ransom, has been arrested in Buffalo. The Oklahoma supreme court declared that all divorces granted in the territory by Probate justices were illegal; this affects & number of people who were granted divcrces and have since married. The cup defender, Defender, beat the Vigilant in a run of forty-two miles from New London to Newport, and yesterday was beaten through a mishap. John B. Minor, pro- fessor of law at the University of Virginia, died at his home in Charlottesville. Rich- ard M. Hunt, one of the leading architects of the country, died at Newport, R. I. Foreign. In the election for members of the coun- ells general in France the republicans gained three-quarters of the seats. The frontier dispute between Argentine and Chile was settled. There has been somo fighting between Spanish troops and natives in Luson, one of the Philippine Islands. The Roman chamber unanimously toted confidence in the cabinet. Slight earth- quake shocks were felt in Florence. Seri- ous street disturbances have occurred in Lisbon, in consequence of rumors that priests have been guilty of child stealing; in a number of instances priests have been attacked by mobs, and several of them have been injured. The Auchien Harvie colliery at Salkvats, Scotland, was flooded; fourteen men were entombed and sixty wore saved. It is reported that the fighting in Formosa has been very heavy. Fire in Hamburg caused a loss of over one million marks. The Turkish cabinet council d cided upon a scheme for reform in -Ar- menia and throughout the empire. The international geographical congress, after a paper by the Norwegian explorer, Borch- grevink, passed a resolution urging ex- Plorations in the antarctic regions. Gen. Campos in Cuba issued a proclamation prohibiting the publication of news not of official origin. In the District. Unusually plentiful during the week were events involving the loss of life. fhree young boys, James W. Blundon, Guy Brown and Charles Lynch, were struck and killed by a B. and O. train near Riverdale, Md. the eoroner’s jury found a verdict of un- avoidable accident. Everard R. Todd died from injuries received by falling from a moving car on the Rock Creek electric road. A fourteen-year-old colored boy, Ernest Green, while taking pears from the yard of the residence of Gen. Flagler was shot and killed by Miss Elizabeth Flagler; the coroner's jury decided that the shooling was not done with murderous in- tent, but that the fatal shot was fired care- lessly and indifferently. Plans for build- ing au electric railroad from this city to Gettysburg are being discussed. A deal has been practically concluded by which the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, under the name of the Capital Traction Company, will operate the Rock Creek railroad in connection with its pres- ent tines. The electric underground system on the 9th street railroad is being put into operation as rapidly as the empleyes be- come familiar with the new method of op- eration. What is believed to be the body of Dana Davenport, who. mysteriously dis- appeared from his home, was found on a railroad track in Scotland. At a meeting of the finance and building committees of the Y. M. C. A. it was decided to solicit funds on the basis of erecting a building to cost $200,000 on the site of the structure that was recently burned; a public meeting of business men will be held in September to further this project. Two employes dis- appeared, taking money that belonged to their employers. Frank P. Smoot, the con- fidential clerk of Maj. H. L. Biscoe, was found in Fort Wayne, Ind., and all but $300 of the $2,000 which he had taken was recov- ered; his employer refused to prosecute, and gaye him a chance to begin life anew. No trace has been found of W. 8. Reniar, the manager of a branch office of Silsby & Co., stock brokers, who went away with some $600 of the firm's money. In an opin- ion of the attorney for the District it was held that the request of organized labor that the District Commissioners stipulate that District contractors shall pay their employes the maximum rate of wages could not be favotably acted upon. A public hearing was given by the suburban high- way commission to citizens and property holders who wished to make oral state- ments tm support of their written objec- tions to the Commissioners’ plan of street extension. Second Assistant W. T. Belt of the District fire department was promoted to first assistant, in place of L. T. Lowe, deceased, and J. D. Kurtz, foreman No. 5, was promoted to second assistant, vice Beit, promoted. The funeral of James C. Pilling was held. Preparations are in_pro- gress by local members of Golden Eagle for the meeting of the Supreme Castle to be held here in October next. —___* e+ -___= SHOOTING STARS.

Moses, the advertise ment and business writer of 502 Bd street, Brooklyn, relates that he recently had occasion to consult Dr. J. 8. Carreau, a well-known physiclan of 18 West 2ist street, New York city, for a stomach trouble which was pronounced a type of dyspepsia. “After cousultation,” writes Mr. Bloses, “tha doctor gave me a prescription, and I was somewhat eurprised to note that the formula was nearly identical with that of Ripans Tabuies, for which I bed, on more than one oc- casion, prepared advertising matter. I hed Dr. Carreau’s prescription filled, and it proved satisfactory, giving quick relief. A week later, when I bad taken all the ~ medicine, I again called on the doctor and iientioned the similarity of his prescription and the proprictary remedy spoken of, showing him both the remedy itself ard the formnla. ‘The doctor was at first somewhat inclined to criticise what he called patent medicines, but he appeared to be surprised when he noted to what extent hia own prescription conformend to the formula I showed bim. It was practically the same. After a short time devoted to noting the careful manner in which the proprietary: medicine was prepared he wound up by prescribing it for wy case. Of course I had to pay him’ for telling me to do this, but it was worth the cost to have wuch high professional assurance that the advertised article was, in fact, the sclentific formula that it purported to be. 1 might hay. taken the proprietary meilicine in the beginning and saved the doctor's fee, but I think the confidence I have acquired in the efticacy of the remedy, through the docter’s Indorsement of it, well worth the fee.” Ripans Tabules are sold by drogeists, or by mall If the price (OPrcents a box), is sent to The Itipans Chemical Company, No. 10 Spruce st., New X: Sample vial, 10 cents. it ee ee ey eee eee d To Keep i i i so BROWN BREAD.
