THE EVENING STAR has a regular d permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne competitor. £7 1n order to avoid delays, on ac- fount of personal absence, letters to WHE STAR should not be addressed fo any individual connected with the pifice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Edftorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = News from the west as to the corn crop is most encouraging, in fact, there is every reason for believing that the production of corn will be greater this year than any that has ever up to this time blessed the country. Hot winds may, perhaps, do a trifle of damage in Kansas and portions of Nebraska, and there Is, of course, the pos- sibility that early frosts will have an ap- preciable effect upon some of the north- western corn, but the amount of injury that is at all probable will not be sufficient to cause any concern. Western railroad men say that the crop will surely exceed 2,250,000,000 bushels; some of the more hopeful statisticians insist that the total will be above 2,500,000,000 bushels. The yleld of oats will also be very large indeed. How much these things mean to the nation generally is insufficiently realized by the great mass of the people. Heavy crops of cern and oats will put in the farmers’ pock- ets more money than thoy have held for several years, and with more money, the farmers can Hquidate burdensome indebt- edness and buy what they and their fami- Hes need to consume during the coming winter and spring. Big crops always make certain increased grain trafiic, and, as an almost immediate conseque: there is tremendous growth of business in all sorts of merchandise and manufactures. Already have these reciprocative movements started; there is steady expansion, and within the coming two or three weeks those railruads which are generatly known as “granger”’ reads will be providing employment for a large number of men who, for a long per- tod, have been Idle. Rolling-sto*k all cver the country is being repaired so that it may be ready for the rush, while quke a number of the roads in Indiana, Llinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, the Dakotas and Mcntana are buying cars, so as to be in a position to transport the vast quanti- ties of raw food-material to places where There is either storage or purchasing de- mand. President Cable of the Chicago, ‘tock Island and Pacifie road !s quoted as gaylng: ‘i “The immense crop outlook and encour- aging reports from all sections along our roads have led us to look for plenty of werk this fail. We are running our stops full blast, and while we are uot in the market for new rolling stock, we have Placed a few orders to pleze cut where we pre short.” Hard times will soon be merely uncom- fortable reminiscences. —_~ + >___. Nervousress is by ne means a Teutonic characteristic, but once in awhile the Ger- man nerves become tense and suffer from vibratory motion that must be extremely discommoding. Just now Germans are very much upset cver the fact that a spy— presumed, of course, to be in the employ of the Freach gcvernment—has succeeded in obtaining entrance into the great fort- ress of Spandau and, after remaining therein for a time sufficiently lengthy for his purpose, departed without suffering gny more inconvenience than a few min- utes of arrest. The daring invader claimed to b2 a German officer, ard his claim hav- ing been recognized by persons who were not familiar with the physical appearance ef the officer counterfeited he was per- mitted to depart im peace, taking with him, so the Germans fear, a large quantity of information which may be extremely use- ful to France. Only a little while ago this same man, dressed in the uniform of an officer. walked into the barracks of Char- lottenburg and took from one of the squad- rooms a service rifle. But before we elther laugh or sneer at the apprehension felt in Germany over the nervy deeds of the sup- posititious Frenchman, let us pause to analyze what would probably be our feel- ing in case it should beccme known that the emissary of a foreign power had been discovered within the works at Fort Foote or be found chasing lizards and snakes in the «ssemates at Fert Washington. No such awful happening has as yet taken place, but the dread news may be carried hither on the next steamboat; and should {t come, who can measure the wrath and despair of the American people at knowing that the principal river-defenses of the national capital sre as open books to, it may be, the Chilean or perhaps the Chi- ‘ese goverrment. That the fortifications board understands the gravity of the situ- ation we have no doubt, but there is in the protection of our forts from quizaing eyes at least the appearance of careless- mess. Suggestion from a civilian source is not likely to be seriously regarded, but there surely is no impropriety in wonder- ing why the earthworks at Fort Foote and the defenses at Fort Washington—includ- ing the old soda-water-tottle guns on the wharf—are not hidden from the gaze of the inquisitive by the use of three or four wagon covers or tarpaulins, —__+ «+ ___ In a communication prigted elsewhere in ‘The Star, attention is directed to the ob- structions to traffic existing on F and G streets between Seventh and Ninth streets because the Interlor Department parking and fence project mto what is properly a thoroughfare. All four of the streets mamed are devoted to most active com- mercial uses, and it will be admitted by any one who knows the conditions in that region that there should be contraction of the Interior Department grounds both on F and G streets. Of course nothing can be done to widen these streets prior to the assembling of Congress, but as there is al- ways a decided advantage resultant from the taking of time by the forelock it is not too early to agitate and organize and agitate. —_—_—_ e+ __—_. ‘The bands are playing and the roses are blooming in Atlanta.

It has been the fashion for some years to smash records at a merry pace each season, but each new perform- ance has, it has been feared by conserva- tive psople, been accompanied by a more than worresponding loss of safety. Instead ef breaking records the steamers are now breaking parts of their machinery. This fs no new thing, for cracked shafts and Durst<d pipes have been more or less com- r since steam navigation hecame But there is an alarming increase ef 2 minor accidents serving to delay the Great livers, season after season, and it is @ ressonabla conclusion that this is due fa 2 great measure to the effort to reach the summit of speed and hold the palm for the swiftest ship afloat. There is a point beyond which machinery cannot go. There is a limit to the endurance of metal, and when there is more work to be performed than can be done by the materials in the machine something gives way. It may be faulty construction, or it may be that too much is expected of the machine. At all events the belief is gradually being forced upon observers that steamships alone will not do much more toward reducing the tlme between the shores of the Atlantic. There may be other devices for this pur- pose, such as shortening the water route, and landing the ships at some far eastern port on this side, approached by swift trains. But until there is some new and more effective motive power that can be applied with economy to the vessels, or some new materials discovered that will stand better the terrible strains, the dream of a three-day trip across the ocean will probably be impossible of realization. —_+ = —____ A young and vigorous life was excuse- lessly sacrificed yesterday on the new city Post office building. One of the iron-work- ers stepped on the end of an unsecured plank and as a result fell practically from the top to the bottom of the structure, suffering horrible mutilation and instant death. To some extent the unfortunate man was responsible for the happening— the exercise of a little caution would prob- ably have resulted in a longer existence— but the real, the burdensome responsibility must oppress those who have so arranged the work upon the building as to leave open and exposed opportunities for the kill- ing of every one of the small number of men engaged upon the structure. Perhaps a coroner’s jury or a grand jury may be needed to specifically identify the individ- ual upon whom should be visited the pun- ishment that unquestionably has been earned. The regulations governing ap- proved construction demand that either temporary or permanent floors be placed in position with relationship to the other main features of the edifice, so that it vould not be possible for a man to fall more than one story within the walls of the building. This common-sense provis- ion for the safety of those who are merely paid enough for ‘their labor and who should not, therefore, be called upon to momentarily risk their Hves, has been completely disregarded in the post-office building. There is inexpressible sadness in the thought that men whe toil earnestly for the bare necessaries of life should by rea- son of greed or carelessness be continually threatened with horrible and unmerited death. The absence of flooring has resulted in the killing of one or more employes, who, being plain artisans and laborers, were of comparatively little value in the estimation of those in control. The untimely death of Beach should result in a searching investigation and in the propar placing of such safeguards as may be needed to pre- vent any recurrence of death from open floor spaces. ——___ + ____= When the bicycle-riding “new woman” appeared in public with the lower half of her physical self clad in bloomers, she doubtless expected to be an object of ridi- cule and was prepared to hear all manner of gibes and jeers and sarcasm—perhaps even abuse—but it is not at all likely that she ever imagined that anyone, and espe- cially her husband, would endeavor to en- list the energy of the law in an anti- bloomer crusade. The law, however, does not seem to be willing to afford bloomer- hating men much assistance, in New Jer- sey at least. A young married man, resid- ing near Paterson, some time ago taught bis wife to ride the entrancing wheel. Skirts interfered with the lady’s enjoy- tment of the healthful exercise, so a few days since she surprised her husband with an exhibiticn of full-grown bloomers. He argued, but without avail; he pleaded, but without effect; he stormed, but the bloom- ers were still there. Then he departed to consult his lawyer, and his lawyer, after thoroughly investigating the matter, as- sured him that none of the courts—not even the divorce court—would give him serious hearing. There doesn’t seem to be any moral to this story, but there is a good deal of instruction in it. The so- called ‘“‘weaker” sex is rapidly achieving supremacy, and the day is near at haad when the fa:r ones may safely flaunt their bloomers in the face of old-fogy man. ——___ 6 = ____ An item in yesterday's Star developed the fact that the proper authorities of this Dis- trict do not have photographs taken of un- known dead persons who have come to their end bere. There should be an imme- diate reversal of this condition. Wash- ington is one of the places where visitors are most plentiful all the year round, and when the large number of strangers here is considered it is not surprising that there are many deaths among them. Of course most of them are easily identified, but in case they are not the District authorities should see that their features are photo- graphically perpetuated, as well as a de- scription of the peculiarities and clothing preserved, in order that those who may seek their whereabouts at some future time may be assisted in their quest. —_—__- —_—_—__— Dr. Parkhurst is scald to be reading the United States newspapers with much care while on his vacation.

Political conventions have been held by the Mississippi, Missouri and Iowa demo- erats during the week. The two former pronounced for silver, while the latter came out against free coinage. Great interest has been felt in Senator Quay’s fight for the chairmanship of the Pennsylvania re- publican committee. So far he is behind the “combine.” A hearing was begun be- fore Controller Bowler upon the question of the constitutionality of the sugar bounty appropriation, Judge Goff in the South Carolina registration case dismissed the complainants’ bill for an injunction. This decision upholds the present registration laws. By the collapse of an _eight-story building at West 3d street and West Broad- way, New York, a number of laborers were killed and others seriously injured. T. Dabney Marshall, a Mississippi lawyer and state legislator, shot down and killed R. T. Dinkins at Branda, Miss. Mrs. Annie M. Gardner of Arcadia, Neb., who disap- peared at the time of the Christian En- deavor convention in Boston, met her hus- band in Chicago. Richard Leach, who mur- dered his mistress, was electrocuted at Sing Sing. The Navy Department has re- ceived word that the French government will build two cruisers after the pattern of the Columbia. The Baldwin locomotive works and the Westinghouse Electric Com- pany have formed a combination. They Propose to develop an apparatus for the operation of steam railroads by electricity. Justice Howell E. Jackson of the United States Supreme Court died at his home, near Nashville, Tenn., aged sixty-three. George F. Root, the composer, died unex- pectedly at Bailey Island, Me. Foreign. According to a dispatch from Foo Chow Fu-Kien province, China, is in a state of rebellion, and the American mission at Fung-Fuk, in that province, has been burned. The Europeans and Americans have telegraphed for gunboats to protect the foreign settlement. A massacre of English missionaries has occurred at Hwasang, near Ku Cheng. The bread riots in Tabreese, Persia, continue; a mob has wrecked the house of the governor, who has resigned his authority and promises a reduction in the price of bread. Em- peror William arrived at Cowes and vis- ited Queen Victoria at Osborne. The in- ternational chess congress opened in Hast- ings. Louis Stern of New York was fined 600 marke and sent to jail for two weeks for insulting an official in Kissingen. Jus- tin McCarthy tssued a manifesto appeal- ing to Irish members of parliament to stand together. He says that Healy's wild charges were responsible for unionist successes. The British ship Prince Oscar collided in mid-ocean with an unknown sailing vessel. Both sank. Six of the crew of the Prince Oscar were lost, and all on board the other vessel. The British steamer Chatterthun was wrecked on the seal rocks off Cape Hawk. Sixty persons are belleved to have been drowned. In the District. Interest in street railroad enterprises was increased by the announcement during the week that a road would be built from Ta- koma to Forest Glen, also one from the former place to Sandy Spring and Ellicott City. The contract for building an electric road between Washington and Baltimore was given out. Owing to a restraining or- der from the court, the auction sale of the Gen Echo railroad did not take place. Henry L. Sherwood, the assistant city post- master, resigned and J. Edwin Wilson was appointed in his place. Progress is being made in the arrangements for the {.abor day parade, and at a meeting of the repre- sentatives of labor organizations J. F. Mc- Hugh was chosen marshal. The most val- uable prize ever offered for public compett- tion was awarded during the past week by a committee representing the Smith- sonian Institution; in addition to the principal prize of $10,000, known as the Hodgkins prize, medals were given and honorable mention was made. Work on the widening of G street has been begun and the Commissioners have request- ed the removal of overhead wires therein, but no response has been received from the Western Union, and it is stated on behalf of the telephone company that it has only one pole on that street. In behalf of the Y. M. C. A. an official statement was issued to the effect that a building suitable for the needs of the asso- ciation would cost $200,000; contributions from the public are invited. Through the voluntary action of Miss Flagler she is now under bonds to await the action of the grand jury, that will investigate the shoot- ing of Ernest Green; a slimly attended meeting of colored people to protest agains® the verdict of the coroner's jury adjourned without action. Under the decision of Judge Cole, in the habeas corpus proceed- ings of Manager Schoepf of the Eckington railroad, the overhead wires on New York avenue must be removed as soon as in the judgment of the District Commissioners it can be done without inconvenience to prop- erty-owners and citizens patronizing the line. An iron-worker, from Baltimore, named Charles Beach, fell from the top to the bottom of the new city post-office build- ing and was instantly killed. —_—_~+2___ SHOOTING STARS.

St. Jobn, a citizen of , Oregon, Wisconsin, in an interview had with D, E. Williams of the Oregon Observer, on the 6th day of May, 1895, said: “For a long time I have heen more or leas troubled with @yspepsia. Having considerable hard Work tb do, if I followed the cravings.of my appetite, it was sure to result in those terrible distressing pains of the stomach. When in the most agony I would endeavor to obtain partial rellef by some ‘grandmother’ treatment, which, if of any benefit, was to strengthen the imagination that the distress was a trifle less.
