4 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. ........September 21, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES. — WHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanént Family Circulation ch more than the combined -cir- culation of the other Washington Gailies. Asa News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ln order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of perso absence, letters to THE STAR ald not be dressed 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. —= = Not the Least of Local Advantages. Washbingtonians who have been sojourn- ing in trolley-ridden cities and who have returred to ihe one city of any importance in the country where the trolley practically is not, will sympathize with the writer who in today’s Star discusses the disadvantages consequent upon the regnant power of the trolley in so many of our great commercial centers. Of course the peopie who are now compelled to patronize the trolley will after a while insist that the unsatisfactory method be supplanted by the latest and best in the fleld of electrical invention; such as are now operated on some of the leading roads in Washington. But that ™much-to-be desired end is not likely to be achieved without great exertion. The legally-established corperations will fight to the last pole for their charter rights and will do. everything possible to great combinations of wealth end political power to overthrow the plans of public-spirited citizens, who even row see how much of a: blunder was made when permission was given the overhead trolley companies to take possession of as many streets as the companies asked for. Had Washington as- sented meekly to the demands of the trol- ley companies, we would not now have in successful operation such admirable cable and underground electric systems. That the bulk of Washington’s population was opposed and is opposed to the trolley can- not be questioned, but there were a few— and some of these were men of prominence —who thought it old-fogyish to oppose the trolley, and who tried to liken the trolley’s opponents to the persons who worried George Stephenson by their contentions adverse to the locomotive. Some of these ~ unannounced friends of the trolley wearied of The Star's troll y-defeating iteration; but since those days the error of their ‘ways has become apparent to them, and they now rejolce in common with prac- tically everybody else in the absence of the trolley from the city mits. For very many reesons Washington is an extre:nely de- sirable place of residerce, and not the Teast of these reasons is set forth in the discussion to which attention is herein directed. —___+ e«-—____ More Pay for Firemen. Chief Parris of the District fire depart- Ment Coes well to continue the fight for more pay for the men of his efficient and valuable force. This is a campaign that Yrequires courageous persistence, and the experience of Washingtonians with Con- gress shows that the only way to obtain these necessary advances from Congress is tp continue to make recommendations year after year until the reasoning Is brought home to the legislators. sometimes ‘only too sadly by a2 terrible calamity. Few residents of this city who have benefited from the exceptionally fine service of the local fire department will challenge the truth of Chief Parris’ opinion that “the firemen do not receive recognition due them in the way of pay for the hard, trying and dangerous duties imposed on them, which they perform with unflinching cour- age.” In no other service of the muni- cipality is so much given for so little. In comparison with the dangers and the re- quirements the pay ts pitifully small, and that this Is the opinion of a great majority of the taxpayers of the city was amply evidenced last year by the tremendous petition presented to Congress, signed by thousands of representative citizens. Chief Parris can count on the support of even more people this year than last, for since that petition was circulated the value of the department to the community has been still further demonstrated. ——_+ oo. Ponsollidate the Proposed Crematories. A correspondent pertinently asks why there should be three crematories for the destruction of garbage established in this city. The question is one that should be seriously considered by the District Commissioners before reaching any definite ecrclusicn as to the manner in which the city’s refuse shall be disposed of. Of course it is to the financial advantage of the gerbage contrector thag he be not required to make long hauls, but it would seem as thcugh the public was really deserving of a’little mcre consideration than even a re- merkably successful bidder. There prob- ably are garbage-disposal plants so perfect in their mechanism and in their construc- ion as to be practically odorless, but it will have to be admitted that whenever mcre is required of the furnaces than the furnaces are capable of doing there will ersue such conditions as have annoyed the residents of other cities more than can easily be jescribed. If the Commissioners Gesire te achieve popularity such as will Tove the community to forget many offi- ctal sins of omission and commission, they will decide upon the establishment of one thcroughly sufficient and efficient Incinera- tion or reduction plant—the latter preferred —at some point beyond the clty limits and 80 situated that it may not for years to come be an annoyance to anybody. —___ = —__—_ Dr. Parkhurst appears to enjoy that com- mon but sometimes dangerous facility of ac- quiring opinions for publication on American polities during a residence in Europe. —_—< es ____ sland wents to get the better of this country in a nautical contest she might issue allenge to a competition In docking big ships. —__ +0 s+ ____ The disappearance of the trolley system means a great increase of comfort and safety for the human system. —_ e+ -___ Street Begging Should Be Discouraged Philadelphia seems to be very grateful Just now to the police authorities for the emphatic manner in which street mendi- cancy is being discouraged, for the Quaker City has been bothered very much of late by an undesirable class of people; folks who work harder to avoid working taan they would have to work if they worked honestly. Testimony prosented by the Philadelphia Press makes {t certain that the city of Brotherly Love has been much Imposed upon, but probably no more than any other city. Stories, about the ac- curacy of which there 1s no question, are told of beggars who have been arrested end on whose persons iarge amounts of money have been found; of other beggars not arrested who died and left behind them big fortunes. Three years ago the Char- ity Organization Society of New York care- fully investigated the condition of seven hundred and thirty-two persistent beg- gars. Of thls number two-thirds begged from door to door, while the remainder elther sat on sidewalks and sold, or pre- tended to sell, lead pencils or newspapers 9r flowers, or wrote begging letters. Only four out of the large total were really need of assistance or deserved the alms hey sought. None of the number made Yess than a dollar a day; many of them @ecured as much as four dollars a day, while several of the experts captured from ten to fifteen dollars per day. New York city has a population of about four thou- sand professional mendicants; Philadelphia has quite half that number; Washington has comparatively few, yet too many. The duty of the police is plain, for they and they alone can put a stop to the imposition which ts continually being practiced upon people who are inclined to be generous. So long as apparently-deformed men and miserable-appearing women and half-clad children are permitted to display them- selves in public places with assumed hun- ger in their faces and with all outward evidence of distress in their attitudes and garb, so long will sympathetic but thought- less fellow-beings contribute more or less toward the support of those who do not deserve the consideration they now get. The proper thing, therefore, for the au- thorities to do, here and elsewhere, is to remove the temptations to give by keep- ing the professional beggars off the streat. Rellef may be secured by unfortunate and deserving people from public sources, 80 there is no necessity whatever for per- mitting those who are too lazy and too vicious to labor with their hands to annoy and practically to rob those upon whom they have no claim of any sort. The person who gives to a beggar upon the street, even the smallest of coins, does s0- clety a serious wrong, but the practice of giving indiscriminately is one we shall have to be educated out of, for the truly charitable person is always afraid lest the refusal should be made to the one deserv- ing one in a thousand. + +e —___. Plant Trees. The efforts of Secretary Morton to revive the perishing American forests by institut- ing “Arbor Day,” ard thus inculcating amcng the people a love for the trees, will be more and more highly appreciated as time goes and as the great value of the forests becomes more fully understood. A French writer in “Cosmos” shows with scientific accuracy that the trees have a direct and positive bearing upon climate and upon the health of the people, influenc- ing the temperature, affecting the rainfall and checking the spread of certain forms of @isease. Forests, too, he shows, prevent great floods, retain the soil in sudden rushes of rainfail and protect property from des- truction in the event of severe wind storms, In parts of the Russian steppes, he points out, forests planted half a century ago have now attained a sufficient growth to cause a notable increase in the amount of rainfall, and have thus greatly increased the value of the region. Tree-planting is for the good of posterity rather than for immediate benefit. It is an investment that cannot be counted upon to produce a return to the planter. It must therefore be done, it is apparent, under the stimulus of some semi-patriotic motive as that which is meant to underlie the new American holi- day—as it really should become—suggested by Secrstary Morton. The demand for cleared ground is about supplied. No longer dces the colonist need to carve his home out of the dense forest. The time has come to check the tree-cutting tendencies of the people and to teach them the lesson that trees are tco precious to be sacrificed to whims, fantastic tastes or useless objects. ‘The cheapness of other fuel makes wood for the stove no longer essential. Invention has gone far toward supplanting timber with wore durable materials. The day of the cutting of a tree for necd's sake is about to pass and there will succeed a time when tree lovers and tree planters will multiply and grow in influence and in deeds. Let Arbor Day be made one of the most popu- lar of all American events. ——_—__ e+ _____ Mr. Rose's Challenge. That the course of Lord Dunrayen in withdrawing from the international yacht races has not met with the entire approval of the English sporting public is uemon- strated by the receipt of & challenge from a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron by the New York Yacht Club. It is yet too early to calculate the chances of a meet- ing of representative yachts of the two na- tions next season, as certain formalities and preliminaries must be observed in the matter of all contests for the America’s cup, which Mr. Charies Rose of London now seeks to rescue from the hands of the yachtsmen on this side of the water. Yet the fact remains that the action of the American committee in charge of the races in declining to yield to the demands of Lord Dunraven has not frightened off all foreign sportsmen from these fields. In- deed, the literature on the subject, which fs becoming alarmingly voluminous, is proving more and more conclusively the absurdity of Lord Dunraven's position and the wisdom of the stand taken by the cup committee. If now, in spite of all this dis- agreement, a race between the two nations can be pulled off, to use a sporting phrase, tnere will be little reason for the American people to regret the unfortunate episode of 1895, which serves to show that even a noble sportsman can get the sulks. ——_+ +—____ The Typhoid Fever Case... The appointment by the Commissioners yesterday of a special inspector of the health department to search out the causes of typhoid fever, now so prevalent in the elty, 1s an excellent move and one that will probably give ample justification to the expenditure involved. This terrible disease must not be allowed to gain a foot- hold in Washington. Constant and vigor- ous efforts will always be necessary to Prevent its spread until the comprehensive and modern system of sewers proposed in the measure that was pending before Con- gress last winter has been obtained, and until steps have been taken to render still more safe from infection the water supply of the District. There is a growing sus- picion that the regular outbreaks of typhoid in September that have been so noticeable in recent years are not to be attributed to local causes, but upon investi- gation can be traced to impure water drank by Washingtonians who have gone from the city for their summer outings and who fall ill from this cause after their return home. If Dr. Kober can demonstrate this fact he will have done the capital a lasting service, as it is no commendation to any community for the autumn season to be marked with such prevalence of this dan- gerous disease as exists today. ———_+ e+__ The Valkyrie has sent her racing sails home by steamboat and is preparing to demonstrate that even if she may not be a success as a fancy flyer she can do good service as a passenger boat. ———_ + 0+ Even if it should amount to nothing more, there will be no doubt about Senator Davis’ unanimous election to the position of favor- tte son. —- e = ____ As soon as Mrs. Langtry’s press agent sets through with her divorce proceedings her lawyers will probably take a turn at It. ——__+ «+ The Chinese make a great mistake in try- Ing to redeem their lost reputation for valor by fighting among themselves. ———~++-—___.

THE WEEK. The events of national importance this week were the dedication of Chickamauga Military Park and the opening of the At- lanta exposition. The former celebration began Wednesday and continued through the week; veterans of both the confeder- ate and the Union armizs to the number of over 50,000 met on the field of Chicka- mauga, where appropriate exercises were participated in by prominent men from the north ard the south, The Atlanta exposi- tion was cpened Wednesday by exercises participated in by the president and man- agers, the leading oratorical efforts of the day being the addresses of Judge Emory Spear and Mr. Bocker T. Washington of the Talledega College for Colored Youth; owing to serious delays the machinery was not started until late in the evening, when, by means of electrical communication, President Cleveland in his cottage in Mas- sachusetts touched a button which set the wheels going ‘round. The Durrant murder case was continued during the week at San Francisco, the prosecution completing its web of proof against the prisoner and con- vincing the public generally of his guilt. The twenty-seventh annual session of the Army of the Tennessee was held in Cin- cinnati. The Detroit M. E. conference adopted’a proposition favoring the admis- sion of women as delegates to the general ecnference. A stay of execution has been granted in what is known as the Lunen- berg, Va., murder cases. The Cherokee strip people celebrated Tuesday the second anniversary of the opening of their coun- try; the strip has now 100,000 people and thirty good towns. During the week there died the Dowager Princess of Battenburg; John Butler, a prominent lawyer of In- dianapolis; ex-Gov. Reddick of California; John Lemon, ex-auditor of Pennsylvania, and Jame3 C. Wilson, receiver of the Atchi- son, Santa Fe and Topeka railroad. Foreign. The week has been one full of stirring events in China; the British have moved five cruisers up the Yang Tse Kiang to protect British residents; gunboats have also been sent as far inland as possible to protect residents at Ku Cheng; the Vege- tarian sect continues to give nxlety, and the emperor has sent troops to hold them in check. It is reported from St. Peters- burg that the sultan will comply with the demands for reforms in Armenia. Nica- ragua celebrated the seventy-second anni- versary of her independence. An adroit swindler, upon presenting a forged order at the deposit company’s office in London, obtained Mrs. Langtry’s jewels, worth over $200,000. The Spanish cruiser Barcastegul was struck by the steamer Mortera at Havana and sank; forty lives were lost, in- cluding Admiral Parejo. The captain of the American steamer Mascot was sen- tenced to eight years’ imprisonment in Cuba for landing cartridges for the in- surgents. Several small engagements have occurred during the week between the Spanish and the Cuban insurgents, and, in a letter to the secretary of the Cuban revo- lutionary party in the United States, Gen. Gomez says the insurgents are making steady progress, and the entire island is hostile to Spain. The Japanese forces, 5v,- 000 strong, continue the campaiga in For- mosa, and during the week a detachment of 2,000 of Japanese troops captured the old capital of the island and dispersed a troop of 10,000 Formosians. The twenty- fifth anniversary of the entry of the Italian army into Rome was celebrated in that city yesterday by the unveiling of a monu- ment to the memory of Garibaldi. In the District. A notable event in the history of the fight against the overhead trolley in this city was the removal by the Eckington Railroad Company of ths trolley poles on New York avenue; for the present horse cars are used over this portion of the route. A collision cecurred at 9th and P streets between a 9th street electric car and a Belt car, which fortunately did not result in serious injury to the passengers. Rev. Dr. Talmage, the Brooklyn divine, has under consideration an invitation to become co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city. Work began at 7th and Pennsylvania avenue on the laying of the foundation for the pedestal of the bronze equestrian statue of Gen. W. S. Hancock. The Dis- trict Commissioners refused to change their plans as to the location of a colored public school in the Miner building. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the unifi- cation of the Italian states was celebrated by a parade of the Ifalian societies, a re- cepticn by the Italian minister and a ban- quet. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Washington and Georgetown railroad an agreement to sell the road to the Rock Creek company was ratified. In the Holt will caso the first action in the legal bat- tle was taken by offering for probate the will of 1873. During the past week the mercury has reached unusual altitudes for this time of the year. The American Nu- mismatic Association held its annual ses- ston here. Funeral services over the re- mains of Prof. C. V. Riley, who died from feats effects of a fall from his bicycle, were eld. A Common Combination. “That racehorse of yours seems well broke,” said the man who stands around and looks on. “Yes,” replied the melancholy owner of the animal; “but he isn’t as well broke as Iam.” Thut Summer Engagement.

Dey gits mad an’ stings er man "bout little er nuffin’ an’ lays right down an’ lets de hull hive git robbed when de critical *casion comes.” Not to Blame. “Hear the wild waves beating on the shore?’ said the hotel clerk who has spasms of poetry. “Yes,” replied the landlord, who was looking cver his profit-and-loss account; “the poor things ain't so much to blame; not after the example some of those sum- mer guests have set ’em.” Depends on Circumstances, “Which method of transit do you prefer; horse car or overhead trolley?” asked the maa who has nothing but leisure. “It all depends on which place I want to g0,"" replied the busy man; ‘down town or to heaven.” An Appalling Condition. “Did yez rade about Mexico celebratin’ her indipindence day jist racently?” said Mr. Dolan. ‘Ol did; it?” “Oh, nothin’ much.

From the Philadelphia Times. It should not be necessary at this late day to offer additional reasons for the prompt removal of all overhead wires. The danger end unsightliness of these wires are admitted on all hands, and the re nt fire at Kighth and Willow streets furnished a striking example of increased fire risks from their presence. They should go because they are both perilous and un- sightly. ——__ + _____ A Rather Emotional Infererce. From the Burlington News. If it is easier and wiser to find one man and to keep him in our most important of- fice, what is the use of a republic? “Third iarm” is close akin to treason. a AC ck to Her Career. From the Cincinnati Tribune. The new woman is not having everything her own way, for the woman train robber was captured by a horrid man detective. Special Notice.
