THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY......September 18, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and 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. 7m order to avoid delays, on ac- -eount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not 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. = A Few More Poles to Come Down. Now that the trolley poles and wires have becn removed from New York avenue, there remain within the city only the few other such obstructions maintained by the Georgetown and Tenleytown road. When the company operating the road in ques- tion installed its plant, Georgetown en- joyed the dubious privilege of legislative existence to a considerable extent distinct from that of the city of Washington, but action by the Fifty-third Congress was to the effect that “from and after the pass- age of this act all that part of the District of Columbia embraced within the bounds and now constituting the city of Georgetown ° * shall no longer be known by the name and title in law of the city of George- town, but the same shall be known as and shall constitute a part’ of the city of Washington, the Federal Capital; and all general laws, ordinances, and regulations of the city of Washington be, and the same are hereby, extended and made applicable to that part of the District of Columbia formerly known as the city of George- town.” Yesterday the District Commission- ers granted permission to the Georgetown and Tenleytown company to extend tie single track at its present terminus on Thirty-second street to the river, stipulat- ing, though, that no additional overhead wires shall be crected. Strictly speaking, the stipulation was entirely unnecessary, for the laws prohibiting the stringing of overhead wires within the city limits are ample, but it was quite proper for the Commissioners to sound a warning note. It may be that the Georgetown and Ten- leytown company has in mind a moderni- zation of its method of car-propulsion, out the chances are that the company calcu- lates to continue operation by overhead trolley until Congress specifically provides }- that it meant precisely what it said when it declared that the overhead trolley should have no place within the boundaries of the national capital. That Congress will again and soon give utterance to its views on this subject is one of the easy probabilities, for the spirit of active opposition to the over-. head troiley bas vigorous life and will not be satisfied with what has been done on New York avenue. Sensible effort on the part of the Georgetown and Tenleytown management would be such as looks to speedy substitution. of a’ satisfactory un- derground system for the obstructive nuls- ance which now hampers traffic and threat- ens to develop at least two or three vari- eties of unnecessary danger on two of the busiest thoroughfares in the west end. ‘That the poles and wires will have to come down in the neat future is certain; the only thing to be settled is whether the company will voluntarily make the im- Provement or will it insist upon Congress exercising its compulsory power. ——~++e—____ Anti-Collision Regulations Needed. Both the Metropolitan and Belt railroad companies seem to have contributed to the collision which yesterday evening took splace at 9th and P streets, and it may even be that the District Commissioners have some accountability in the matter. The Metropolitan’s contribution was the higher rate of speed than that permitted by law and failure to stop its cars before crossing the tracks of intersecting roads. ‘The error on the part of the Belt driver was failure to recognize the Metropolitan's ‘right of way, combined ‘with the folly of taking any chances with a horse-car when @ rapidly moving electric-car fs in the im- mediate vicinity of the crossing. The gen- eral confusion which seemeg to prevail was assisted by the completa absence of municipal regulation as to Whether me- chanically-propelled street-car§ shall stop on the near or far side of the crossings; a subject which has been before the Com- missioners for some time, but which seems to be too weighty to be readily disposed of. Whatever preventative may be decided upon as most likely to obviate further col- Uslons cught to be formulated and applied with all promptness. The smash-up which took place last night was wholly excuse- less and there should be such municipal regulation and enforcement as will render well-nigh impossible ‘any more occurrences of the nature very properly complained of. —____++«___— The Star’s special correspcndence from Herolulu, published today, will doubtless attract more than ordinary attention, for it deals with the epidemic of cholera now causing so much of apprehension at the capital of the Hawatian republic. People generally and medical practitioners es- pecially will be Interested in the story which Is told by one who is in the midst of the plague. Tha probable origin of the trouble and the mamner in which !t became disseminated are food for thoughtful con- templation even by residents of Washing- ton, remote though they appear to be from such a scourge as now afflicts Honolulu. —____++ = —____ Some time the schools will open with amnle accommodations for all the children who have a right to be considered in that connection.

An extremely Interesting communication {s that—printed elsewhere in The Star— which describes the manner in which At- lantic City garbage is disposed of; of more than ordinary interest to Washingtonians because the Atlantic City system does not differ materially from that which it is pro- posed to listall in the city of Washington. "The story that comes from the seashore is not a plessant ‘one, for It reveals possi- bilities of discomfort such as Washington has never known. The fault is probably not that of the system—although incinera- tion is unquestionably less desirable than reduction—but rather of those who operate the system. Furnaces that have capacity sufficient to completely and non-odorously destroy one hundred tons of garbage a day cannot reasonably be expected to get rid of even one hundred and ten tons a day without creating a serious nuisance. The Atlantic City method seems to be the alto- getter absurd one of insisting that it Is better to partially destroy. one hundred and fifty tons a day in a furnace with a guar- anteed capacity of only one hundred tons than to install a furnace or furnaces cap- able of disposing satisfactorily of the whole of Atlantic City’s garbage. Of course, it may be that there is weakness in the sys- tem itself, but the shortcoming, if there Is gne, cannot be located so long as more is Bouton Lesadec iad ee to be can possibly learned from Atlantic City’s nauseating ex- Periénce is one to be heeded by the local authorities. It will be ‘the duty of the Dis- trict Commissioners to see to. it that the incinerating plants are fully equal to all the demards that can possibly be made upon them, and that the utmost possible cleanliness shall prevail in the immediate vicinity of the furnaces, and, in fact, throughout all of the dealings of the gar- bage contractor with the sincerely-con- cerned public. In Philadelphia the garbage contractor kas been doing his best to ob- viate the erection of additional furnaces by sratuitous and liberal scattering of garbage wherever the complaisant authorities would Permit such misconduct, and when even the indiscriminate scattering abroad would not suffice, the disease-breeding refuse was shipped down the Delaware and dumped as tear as possible to the city. Every pro- vision should be made at the outset for thoroughly efficient disposal of Washing- ton’s garbage; a sufficient force of trust- worthy officers should be continually em- ployed for the purpose of seeing to it that the contractor lives right up to the letter and the spirit of his agreement. The pub- li¢ health is too precious to be played with even by a contractor who may have friends in high places. ———_—++e—______ The Chicago Record gives a list of the ailing heirs-presumptive to the thrones of the old world; from which it would appear that they are a pretty sickly lot all around. The Czarowitz is in the last stages of con- sumption. Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria is in a critical state from lung disease. The young Crown Prince of Italy is seriously giling. Prirce Albert of Fland- ers is extremely delicate, and so, too, is the little Crown Prince of Germany. The Prince of Wales is far from being a well man, and the Duke of York has never re- covered entirely from the effects of the typhoid fever with which he was laid low just about the time of the death of his elder brother. The Record might have added to its royal sick-list the ailing young heir to the em- peror of Japan. He has always been deli- cate, and lately has been suffering so se- verely from a form of low fever that it is feared he will not survive the attack. —2 = _______ Senator Peffer is doing his best to keep up the journalistic reputation of Kansas as an always rellabie territory for the production of freak interviews. ————~ 22 ____ The autumn calm is disturbed only by the apprehension that this government will do something that it should not during the absence of Mr. Bowler. —_++-2____ The disappearance of that back-numbey in street-railway transit, the trolley-pole, marks another stride in Washington's Progress a3 a municipality. ——_+ + _____ The collusion between the cheap publish- ers and the train-boys to mix the public on the financial question has lost about all the force it ever had. —~e++—____ It would be a good fdea for British yachtsmen horeafter not to postpone the appearance of tha mascot until after the boat is built. + ¢ & ___ So long as Dunraven refused to sail it over, he should take the trouble to think it over before he expresses himself. 9 One hundred artisans and laborers were employed today on the city post-office build- ing.

He Got Out of It. “Do you mean to tell me that he’s really anxious to fight me?” said the pugilist. “That's exactly the situation,” replied his manager. “Well, we'll declare the match off right here.

She W Lost. “I am lost!” she exclaimed in a tone of terror. “Fear not, fair one,” said the hero, who had not rescued anybody for three or four chapters, and was beginning to feel lonely, “I will protect you.” “I don’t want protection,” she answered. “What I want is a map and a compass and a guide book. I have just come from Bos- ton, and the streets here are so straight that I am utterly confused.” ~ —____ «= ____ The High Building Problem. From the St. Lonis Globe-Democrat. The example of Chicago and Boston in the matter of the high building problem is te be followed by New York. The question of limiting the height of buildings in that city is to become a prominent subject for discussion at the next meeting of the iegis- lature. if every owner of a lot weré to erect a high building, the streets would secn become mere canyons, preventing the circulation of air and the ponetration of sunlight, and becoming a menace to the general health. Artificial light, of any kind, is injurious, not only to the eyes, but to other organs of the body. This results partly from the increased heat thrown off by the artificial light, and partly from-the absence 9f. sunlight. Bacteriologists find that direct sunlight is the most deadly en- emy which germs encounter. Millions of bacteria, which might otherwise reach the human system and set up diphtheria, ty- phoid fever, scarlet fever and other conta- gious diseases, are killed by a short ex- posure to the direct rays of the sun. The city of Glasgow, Scctlanc, has a law pro- hibiting the erection of any building which is higher than the street on which it abuts. If the building be set back from the street line, the distance it has been set back is added to the width of the street in deter- mining the height of the building. Where the buildings face a public square in which the clear space is above eighty feet, there is no Jimit to the height imposed. In Mar- seilles, France, buildings in streets thirty- nine feet or mere wide are limited to a height of seventy-seven feet; on streets jess than twenty-five feet wide the height must not exceed sixty-five feet. In Rouen, France,the limit is sixty-five feet on streets thirty-nine feet wide or more. While En- glish cilies do not theoretically limit the height of buildings, they do so practically by prescribing the thickness of walls nec- essary for each ten feet in height. The greater pert of the area of the lower floors of very tall buildings would thus be occu- pied by walls and piers. The owners of high buildirgs in New York are leasing or purchasing adjoining properties in order to preserve for their tall structures the bene- fits of unimpeded air and light.

I've een gaining right along by iny rest and treatment. Last fall I went to 2 doctor, who was recommended to me 8 a good one and with quite a reputation. He gave me medicines of all kinds ‘cr nearly six weeks, and I got no benefit that I could sea, In fact, I don't believe he knows what is the matter with me, A friend of mine called one cvening api told me he had been using Ripans Tabules for a short time and bad never found anything that helped his stomach and liver troubles as much as they djd, He handed me a clreular about them, which I read, + and concluded that they were just what I necded and would ft my case exactly. I dropped Dr. at once, went over to the drag store and got a 50-cent box of them, out of which I took twe a day for awhile, and within three deys noticed and felt much improvement. That was about the middle of December. Last February I got another small box of the Tabules and took part of them only, as I was feeling so muck better that I didu’t think I needed any more. ‘The rest of the box I gave to Joha C—— the other day. . If I had heard of them at the time I stopped work ‘I could have saved my doctor bill, and, better than all, probably kept right on with my ' work. But I do not begrudge the time lost for the doctor bill, as I - feel Iam well pald for having learne& of the Tabules. I now feel no pain whatever in my stomach, Hver and bowels active and regular, and eat Uke a well man should eat.
