NOYES.............«..Editor. = —— - E EVENING STAR has a regular and pe:rmancnt Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culntion of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has po competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should uot 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. the outrages might well be placed in the hands of the United States consul general at Shanghai, Mr. T. R. Jernigan. Since Mr. Cunningham's pamphlet and the ac- companying document were mailed at Shanghai, it has become known that the Chinese government would not permit in- vestigation by any foreigners; which ar- bitrary and inconsiderate decision is fur- ther argument in favor of the “prompt and vigorous action” which the Americans resi- dent at Shanghai hope will be taken. Just what the State Department is doing in this matter is not known to any but the few who mystically operate that branch of this government, but everybody who has read the story 6f the outrages committed in China during the summer is convineed that Secretary Olney should use at least copious and vigorous language in demand- }ing from China all the rights which are supposed to be guaranteed Americans by treaty. Washington's growth has been tmpeded and distorted because provision was not made years ago for the extension of streets and avenues that a steadily growing popu- jation now demands shall be made. Only those who were affirmatively Interested in the proposition to place upon the statute beoks a suitable and equitable law have any real idea as to the difficulties attend- ant upon the task of converting Congress to the views held by the great majority of those whose residence is at the national copital. It would therefore be most dis- appointing and altogether unfortunate if it should now appear that the statute is defective in any material respect. There is steady and increasing pressure from the comparatively crowded city toward the rapidly developing suburbs, and unless there are effective regulations for the gov- ernment of those who desire to erect homes beyond the so-called “city Mmits,” there will be more and more embarrassing and injerious enlargement of the present great and unnecessary confusion as to the street lines and grades. In the work which the authorittes propose to do in this extremely important duty of street exten- sion it may occasionally be that some few property-owners will believe them- selves to be improperly treated because de- sirable lots will be cut up and handsome hemes destroyed. The number of such in- stances will, however, be extremely small, and there will doubtless be reasonable pe- cunlary recompense proffered those who are called upon to suffer. Sufferers are not, however, always philosophical, and are scmetimes inclined to be a: trifle impa- tient with those who give weem good ad- vice. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the street extension plan will, as a whole, be a superbly good thing for the entire community, and is, therefore, deserv- ing of sincere general support, and even of Scme sacrifices in the public interest on the part of individuals. —__+ + + —____ After devoting much time to deliberate investigation, the excise board has come to the conclusion that there is public ne- ceesity for reduction in the number of sa- loons in the District of Columbia, and has announced that disappointment awaits many persons who expect to secure l- censes, for the coming license year, to run saloons In what is undoubtedly the most disreputable quarter of Washington. Criti- cism of this conclusion will not emanate from the people generally, for there is no appreclable quantity or quality of what may be termed decert sentiment favorable to the continued existence of the plague- spot which, while profitable to the finan- cially interested, has never been anything Jess than a menace to true citizenship and a stain upon the good name of the com- murity. The matter has been much de- bated in a quiet and seemly way, but it has never yet been made plain that the policy which has been pursued in dealing with this perplexing problem ts even ap- proximately right. There can be no ques- tion, however, as to the propriety of the prohibitive program of the excise board concerning Division liquor licenses. Where immorality centers there disorder may be looked for, so it 1s entirely reasonable to remove from such a neighborhood the un- questioned causes of the greater portion of boisterous misberavior—the gin-mills from which men and women procuce the material which actively promotes so many forms of misdemeanor and crime. Tre- mendous pressure will be brought to bear upon the excise board for the purpose of working*a reversal, if that be possible, of the announced conclusion; the financial, politi-al and social wires will all be oper- ated In behalf of those who want to be saloon-keepers without let or hindrance. How the struggle will end cannot as yet be foretold, but The Star sincerely hopes that the excise board will not weaken in this matter. + «+ —____ Reasonably rapid transit on city streets is desirable, but strect-railroad managers must not be permitted to lose sight of the fact that the limbs and lives of passengers must receive primary consideration, From complaints which were yesterday laid be- fore the District Commissioners it would appear that some of the mechanically- operated sstreet-railroad cars are not stopped as they should be for passengers te get on or off. The complaints seem to be made entirely by men, and it is alleged that both gripmen and conductors are of opinion that almost any kind of a man ought to oe able to get on or off a moving car without seriously damaging himself. But behind the gripmen and conductors are the responsible officials, who naturally desire to have the cars make the best pos- sible time from end to end of the respec- tive routes. Speed, however, is not every- thing; the safety of passengers must—even if there has to be a police regulation on the subject—be the point of greatest con- cern, —_—___~ e +____ The pleasure of the Bar Harbor meeting of ex-Secretary Whitney and Thomas B.

Anyone who reads Mr. Cunningham's timely contribution will see plainly that the Chinese authorities were really in ac- cord with those who rioted at Chengtu, at Yachow, at Suifu, at Kiating and at Paon- irgfu, and it will also appear that up to the end cf July the United States had done very little to maintain its dignity as a pation. Accompanying Mr. Cunningham's sketch of the riots is a request, from a committee appointed by a large meeting of American citizens held in Shanghal; a re- quest which is predicated upon general be- lief among foreigners resident in China that the action hitherto taken by western governments in similar cases has been ut- terly inadequate. The petition is for prompt and vigorous action. The meeting of American citizens at Shanghai was of ‘the opinion that the work of investigating — ¢ -___ A remarkable cuse of mental disturb- ance is that which seems to afflict Mrs. E. L. Gardner, the Nebraska woman who at- tended the Christian Endeavor convention in Boston and who was lost to her family and friends for some time thereafter. Pa- tient search resulted in her being located in Nerwich, Conn., where she had secured employment under a new name and as a single woman, although she had left be- hind her in Nebraska a husband and three children. For awhile she insisted, even to people who had come on from her Ne- braska home, that she was not the wo- man whom they sought, but was ‘another individual, and so earnest was she in her declarations that ehe convinced many that her hallucination was a reality. Examina- tion by experts reveals the fact that Mrs. Gardner suffers from a suddenly-developed phase of insanity extremely uncommon, but it ts believed by those who have charge of her case that a cure can be ef- fected. People who are intimately ac- quainted with Mr. and Mrs. Gardner de- clare that their home life was most happy. Had there been any serious friction be- tween husband and. wife, then Mrs. Gard- ner’s endeavor to start life anew and alone might not have been so surprising, but in view of the fact that marital relations were satisfactory and that Mrs. Gardner was passionately fond of her three chil- dren, the affliction from which she suffers will afford the medical fraternity a subject for discussion for some time to come. ——__~+ e+ —___ The phonograph bas been applied to all sorts of uses, but the chances are that it was never used as a substitute for a minister at a funeral unt, on one day last week, the deputy coroner of Graves- end, N. Y., turned one of the marvelous instruments loose upon the relatives and friends of a Coney Island “freak” who had died a day or so before. Having at times experienced difficulty in securing the serv- ices of a clergyman, this deputy coroner sometirné ago bought a phonograph and had a clergyman talk thereto so much as was deemed necessary of the burial serv- ice, while a choir chanted appropriate hymns. The experiment of substituting a Phonograph for a minister and a church choir is said to have been regarded by all those present as a success. Ministers’ wives should see in this innovation a threat whjch may some day materialize to such proportions as to deprive them of the marriage fees which their husbands, as a rule, turn over to them for pin-money; for if one may be buried by phonograph there is no reason why the machine should not rattle off the marriage ceremony. The enterprising man who will load a waxen cylinder with the magic words that wed might find the operation of the instru- ment much more profitable than it is when it merely gives forth street songs and min- strel dialogue. __+«+____ Atlanta’s prohibition movement, it should be explained, is in no way intended to throw cold water over the Kentucky ex- hibit at the exposition. — 2 oe Mr. Blackburn has abanloned time-worn issues and is out enthusiasticaliy on a per- sonal popularity platform. ——_+ +-____ Any left-over material from the presi- dential nomination can be suggested for the supreme bench vacancy. —_—__- +-____ SHOOTING STARS. A Sudden Superiority. “I see,” said the New Post-Office to the Aqueduct Tunnel, “that there is a possi- bility of your being made useful some day.” . “Yes,” was the supercilious reply. “I hope in the course of time to be able to say the same of you.” “Many er man," said Uncle Eben, “ “"mag- ines dat he’s a philosopher when he’s jes’ plain lazy.” It Surprises Her Now.
