THER EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY...,......September 5, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES. — THE EVENING STAR has a regular @ permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Editor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to avy individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. == A Concentration of Nuisances. Under the accurately descriptive title of “A Concentration of Nuisances” a cor- respondent, wtose letter is printed in another column, calls attention to the de- plorable condition of that section of the city lying just east of the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, termin- ating at the south in the malodorous Buz- zard’s Point and traversed by the open sewer called James Creek Canal. There is unfortunately no denial possible of the picture of wretched conditions painted by The Star's correspondent. Unquestionably one of the first duties of Congress to the people of the District upen its reorganiza- tion this winter is the eractment of legis- Jation providing for the thorough cleaning out of the nulsances of that section. The James Creek Canal, it has been contended by The Star fcr years, should be covered and provided at the mouth with some mod- ern system of tidal flushing that will pre- vent the accumulation of filth between its banks. The flats of the Eastern Branch should be reclaimed, just as those of the Potomac have been transformed from ma- Jarial marshes into the nucleus for a beau- tiful park. In the matter, too, of the loca- tion at this place of a garbage disposal plant, there is every reason why the in- habitants of the section should feel indig- nant and resist. There is some force in the contention of the authorities that If the garbage Is to be treated at any point within the city limits no more appropriate place could be found than the foot of South Capitol street, where the already existing conditions cannot be aggravated to an ap- preciable extent by a well-conducted, mod- ern garbage cremator; but it is not necessary to locate crematories anywhere within the city. The only argument for such location is found in the greater cheap- ness ani convenience of garbage transpor- tation to crematories close at hand, and if this consideration is to prevail a site in the heart of the business or residence sec- tion would be preferable to a distant lo- cation like that proposed at the foot of South Capitol street. The ideal condition, for which The Star has ever contended and still inststs, is to locate all such establish- me: beyond the range of habitations and outside the urban boundaries. There is no natural obstacle within the District of Co- lumbia to h an arrangement, yet the contract is now signed for a system of garbage disposal that will cause the loca- tion of a crematory at the foot of South Capitol street and the consolation, if any, to be found in the situation lies in the fact that if the expectations and the promises of the contractor are fulfilled, the South Capitol street plant, when in full operation, will be less objectionable than the present system, or lack of system, which beyond estion makes the southern extremity of city a menacing nuisance. The almost odorless consumption of garbage by fire cannot be ag offensive as the present plan of allowing cargoes of the stuff to accumu- late on ths wharfs and scows there lo- cated, and great masses of it to fail into the river, there not only to poilute the stream, but to putrefy and befoul the air in the immediate vicinity of the wharf. If other crematories are erected the amount d to this one will be cor- luced, and the garbage cart It is, however, a very jation that one evil is less than or, when the struggle of the section is to be rid of both. ——_—___--e-__— Destroy the Worms Now. In time of peace prepare for war. Kill orpillars ile they are nesting, not keep them from cating any more leaves is year, but to discourage the next gen- ration of that pestiverous insect. The caterpiliar harvest is now ripe for the ac- tive citizen who has enough energy and love for the beautiful to clean out the tree in front of his house. An ordinary walking stick will do most of the work. The worms have now begun to bulld their cocoons, and thousands of them are within reach from the pavement. They can be found in their grayish houses of woven webs in the rough places in the bark of the trees and in the meshes of the wire nettings around the trunks. To smash a cocoon how ineans the loss of scores of members of the cater- pillar family next season. The denuded trees appeal strongly for such a campaign against the caterpillar. Little can be done, of course, by individual effort that is not supplemented by other work all along the Street and through the city, but an hour's work any afternoon during the next few days by every householder in the city of Washington will practically insure a free- dom from the pests next summer. Whiie it is true that the trees have not been per- manently injured by the worms this year, much of their beauty has been lost by the eating of the leaves, and it cannot be pos- sible that the attractiveness of the trees will survive many such seasons of devasta- tion. ———_+ ++ ___ The fact that a big unwieldy freak like Niagara Falls has been put into harness for commercial purposes stimulates the hope that some means may yet be found of making the United States Senate use- ful. ———— It is encouraging to believe that De- fender has had enough attacks of eccen- tricity for one career, and that she will therefore behave rationally on the critical day. —_—__+ +e — al Hardin is having some difficulty g to drive his personal convictions and his party principles tandem. ——_--_ + ee -— is still trying volution is not Spain to show that the worth the paper it of EBarepe. - of enthusiasm sary of the with the off enty-fifth nee confiscating ec periodical, there is fresh evl- of the cor nereasing strain between ns which will sooner ate the long-ex- pected it h he marvel fs that i to this day, for these 1s have chafed most sorely under the ng hi of @ auarter of a century e and {ft Is probable that all that restrains them from flying at each other's throats fs the fact that the Franco-Prus- sian w ns not only a conflict between them, but a terrible struggle for reorgani- zation involving the whole of Europe. Un- tionably outside influences and pow- ers are at work that effect a postponcment of the strife. The combination has not yet been reached, it would seem, that will eventy lock the Pandora’s box of woes in rope. It may be @ compara- tively ificant incident that will start THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER the confilct. Many thought a few months ago that the. Chino-Japanese war would Prove to be the signal for the fray in Eu- Tope, but that event has safely passed, and although there is today a possibility of trouble between Japan and Russia that would be more likely than the preceding conflict to set the European .nations by the ears, yet the chances for a Russia- Japan struggle are remote. There is un- deniably a large party both in this country and in Europe eager for a conflict and a general outbreak of hostilities, some for commercial and others for political rea- sons. Such a war would unhappily dissi- Pate the atmosphere of good-will that has of late years been created through inter- national conventions and through the spread of a common understanding among the nations. Undoubtedly America wouid be the gainer from a purely monetary point ef view from such an outburst of war in Europe, as this nation is best of all fitted to be the purveyor of supplies to combat- ants of every race and tongue, yet it would be a prosperity dearly bought that would come from such a boom of the industries of America. Doubtless a great majority of the people on this side of the Atlantic Would be glad to see a Sedan celebration that would unite the veterans of Germany and France on a common ground fer jubi- lation such as this country has of late years often witnessed between the sur- vivors of both the northern and southern armies that participated in the late civil war. —_~--s__ Two hundred and two men were engaged on the city post office building yesterday and today. That is to say, there were one hundred and one men at work each day. The larger number would begin to e2pproximate an adequate force. ' —_——_+ «= ____.

An Objection. “No,” said the very advanced woman, “I shall rot wear bloomers any more.” | “Why not?” “The pockets are so easy to find that my hrsband has gotten into the habit of going through them when I am asleep.” The Oyster Season. The girl who once for ice cream sighed Now leaves Such thoughts afar; She gently spells “September” with The accent on the “r.” A Prediction. ‘What this performance wants,” said the actor who had just been promised five weeks’ salary, ‘is more realism.” “You think so?” said the manager. “I do. Somethin’ more like the genuine thing on pay day is all that’s goin’ to save iw” She Was Shocked. “What shocking customs the Pilgrim fathers had,” remarked the very modern girl. . ‘Their manners were véry austere.” “Yes, but they seemed to have no sense of propriety in dress, I have just been Icoking at pictures of them in a history. It seems almost incredible, but in those days the men wore the bloomers!” An Exciting Prospect. “You are having a very merry time of it,” remarked the looker-on to the New York reformer. “Yes,” was the reply; “but I'm looking for better entertainment than we are giving now.” e “When?” “When the President and the various eic- ments in Congress start in to reform one another.” He Restrained His Glee. “Your corn crop is good this year,” sald Farmer Corntossel’s city relative. “Fine.” “And the tobacco crop is good.” “First rate.” “You ought to be happy, but you don’t look so.”” “Well, betwix’ you an’ me, I am kinder incouraged, but I’m tryin’ not ter let on too soon. I’m jes’ lookin’ every day fur one o’ these here galamity politicians ter come along an’ corivince me thet good crops Is l’ble ter be the wust thing thet kin happen ter the farmer ef we don’t vote his way.” Pastoral.

With the dying out of the !dea that Alex- ander Island is now a portion of the Dis- trict of Columbia, there is coming up a movement for the acquirement by the United States of the south bank of the Potomae river immediately opposite the seat of government. This will be the more practicable because all the land-holders and permanent residents Mving on the scuth bank of the river opposite Washing- ten are strongly In favor a change which weuld carry the school system, the police tem, the sanitary and fire-extingu’ ing system of the District, and all its other civilizirg institutions, across the Potomac and would at once destroy there the hot- beds of demoralization which now produce such bitter fruit. It was intended that the Potomac should flow through the cap- ital of the United States as the Thames flows through London and the Seine through Parts, but before the future of the pital of the United States had become evident, the contribution of Virginia soil to the nation was restored to that state, There can be no doubt that the United States has quite as much power to accept the second i Le the first. The only constitutional requisite of the seat of government js that it shall not exceed ten miles square and shail be ceded by some state and accepted by Congress. ‘The state of Virginia would at the outset would be adverse to this recession, but when it became known that the cession was expected to include only about two miles square, much of it marshy land, and that the immense tract of Arlington was already under the jurisdiction of the United States, when, in fact, the cession proposed would only be an expansion of Arlington, it is believed that the difficulty weuld disappear. Unquestionably the feel- ing in Alexandria city is adverse to a re- turn to the District, but it is not proposed that the cession shall include any territory south of Four-Mile Run. The Greater Washington will need the south bank of the river opposite the President’s House and the Capitol, but there is no reason why it should extend further, AUM?’ 416 7th St. S Red Ticket Bargains for Friday.

A reporte> called on Wednesday evening, May 8, 1895, at the residence of Mr. William McMahon No. 1688 Pearl street, Brooklyn Village (Cleveland), Ohio, to learn, if possitle, the cause of the noticeable. improvement in his physical condition over that of a year ago, when he was a sufferer from indigestion and various organic disorders. “You sce," began Mr. McMahon, “to start with, my works that of setting type at the case— allows me little chance for bodily exercise, and is altogether too confining for anybody who is the least subject to indigestion or dyspersia. Perbups not more so than wany another mechanic or artisan who is constantly indoors and under severe mental strain, while the physical development is sadly in necd of something to keep it in trim. Well, that has been my complaint for years, and some months ago I became very bilious, and corstipation made life miserable for me at times, Then it took a seat in Dy LIVER, which became noticeably inactive, and I became alarmed about it. The first thing I turned my attention to was to secure @ ‘liver regulator,’ which, however, failed to regulate; next I sought relief in ‘liver pills,’ which so pained and griped me that the cure was, 1 thought, worse than the disease. The-nest thing I did was to throw away the whole ‘shooting match,’ and resolve to take no more proprietary medicines. However, on hearing my tale of woe one day at the office, a fellow- workman offered me a small Tabule —Ripans, he called 1t—which, He said, he would-gusrantee to act on the liver. I took it under protest, expecting to be doubled up iPabout fifteen minutes with the ‘gripes.’ But I was agreeably surprised in {ts action, It was very gentle, and I resolved to try @ box. Since thgp I have gradually noted an entire change in the working of my system, and think that Ripans Tabules are the bea remedy for liver and stomach troubles this side of anywhere. They are really a substitute for physical exercise. Have one before you go!” and Mr. MeMfahon produced his Lox of “stand-bys” from his inside pocket as the reporter took bis leave.
