4 _————— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. JATURDAY..............Oetober 5, 18095. CROSBY S. NOYES... .Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular @ permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7m order to avoid deinyn, on ac- count of personnal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editej:inl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Purify the Sewer Outlets. In no field can the efforts of the Wash- ington board of trade result more profitably than in that broad area which includes with- in its opportunities the purification of the city’s sewer owlets. Direct and influential is the bearing of the health of the commun ity upon its commercial prosperity; vital statistics have much to do with the ebb or flow of capital seeking investment. There is too much typhoid fever prevalent here just at present, and it will never do for the capital to get again the reputation of being a malarial city. It was once known as such, when the pestilential atmosphere of the Potomac flats swept over the western and southern sections and poisoned many a home. Now that the flats are filled and the rise and fall of the tide do not create such dangerous conditions as before, there is no good reason why Washington should not be made perfectly hygienic. The Eastern Branch, to be sure, is still somewhat of a menace, but not so much so as the lowlands at the confluence of the two rivers used to be, inasmuch as the prevailing winds are from the west. While Congress Is being persuaded that the branch should be treated in a modern way if Washington is to remain a modern city, it will be well for every in- fluence in town to be directed at the prob- lem of how to dispose of the city’s sewage without menace to the health of every man, woman and child within the District. The board of trade is able to accomplish much in this direction by keeping the subject well hefore the people, and thus enlisting the interest and aid of all citizens, whether they are members of that useful organiza- tion or not. The board of trade occupies more and more the position of a common council to the city and District. Its power is @ersonal rather than legislative, and it will grow in influence as it grows in size, and thus embrace more and more completely the business interests of Washington. With every addition to its ranks its possibilities increase. It now proposes to bring the dan- gers from typhoid fever and other zymotic diseases resulting from imperfect sewerage 80 strongly before the attention of our au- thorities, both local and national, that the next Congress will have no excuse for non- action. The needs of the city in this di- rection are pretty well defined. The subject has been studied time and again by eminent specialists and physicians, and there is today no necessity for delay in the way of investigations that will but redemonstrate the already established lack of modern fa- cilities. ————~+++____ Elevate or Depress the Tracks. | Nothing more than the expected hap- pened when, yesterday afternoon, a collision took place between a locomotive, a horse and wagon, and a cable grip-car at Seventh Street and Virginia avenue. Fortunately, the only life sacrificed was that of the horse, but human beings were seriously In- jured and others who escaped physical suf- fering had their nervous systems severely shocked. Of late years the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has apparently done its best to render its grade crossings with!1! this city as harmless as fences and safety- gates and watchmen could make them, but in spite of all the precautions the odds are largely in fayor of such happenings as that which is a yart of yesterday's local his- tory. Careful investigation into the details of the occurrence shows conclusively the innocence of the gate-keener and of those who were responsible respectively for the cable-car and horse and wagon—perhaps the engine bell was not being rung, and, if that was so, then the engineer and fireman must bear some of the burden—and the guilt of those officials who are responsible for the storing of cars on Virginia avenue. It 1s clearly illegal to occupy the tracks on any road wh’'ch is intersected by thor- oughfares within the city with long-stand- ing cars, but neither the law nor the equity seems to receive the consideration which they deserve. Yesterday's collision was due to the fact that long lines of cars ren- dered it impossible for the gateman to see the approaching engine; therefore the safety-gates remained up and the collision took place. The thing for the District au- thorities to do now Is to take such action as will make it practically impossible for the railroad company to store its cars on Vir- ginia avenue outside of the yards which @ liberal Congress presented to the com- pany. More than that cannot, unfortunate- ly, be done at this time. When Congress comes, then Washingtonians should be a unit in demanding the elevation or depres- sion of all railroad tracks within the limits of the national capital. Public safety and grade-crossings are incompatible. — 2 ___ Now that the excessive heat of September has passed and the delightful temperatures of mid-autumn have succeeded the terrible records of the thermometer, Washington- jans are prone to wonder why they ever thought tll of the climate of the National Capital. There is nothing so fickle and fleeting as the average weather memory. What today ts rules the year. Last winter's slush and the summer's sizzle are alike for- gotten in the balmy days of October, and Washington is indeed the most agreeable of all American cities. The rough places in the road of life here are few and very far apart. They are quickly obliterated by the charm of the most agreeable cimate en- Joyed by any American community, and it is no marvel that there is a strong tide of immigration into the District, composed cf People who are seeking rest and health and business opportunities. ————~+2___ The question of recognizing the Cuban insurgents still lingers, notwithstanding Spain's implied threats that she would soon put them where their own mothers could not recognize them. —__+e+___ There seems to be a disposition to put the President so on record that he would have to refuse a third piece of pie, even if he were coaxed. ——_-e>___ No Exodus to Liberia. Dr. E. W. Blyden, Liberia’s minister to England, has been giving some good advice to those American negroes who are being urged to migrate to Liberia. Occasionally there Is agitation in behalf of a great exo- dus to the colony which American benevo- lence estab'ushed In Africa nearly four- score years ago. Dr. Blyden believes that ultimately West Africa will be the home of all civilized descendants of Ham, but he is also satisfied that any considerable emigra- tion would at this time be disastrous. He places himself squarely on record to the effect that all agitation for the movement of large masses of negrees to Africa is at the present time unwise and premature. Missionary effort is all right, and the emi- gration of suitable individuals or small colonies having in view the religious or \edustrial Improvement of Liberia should ge encouraged, but the great multitude of \.ierican negroes should remain geograph- i aily where they are, and should do their THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. utmost to achfeve that commercial succesg which is essential to the higher civiliza- tion. In his utterances, Dr. Blyden is evi- dently guided by his thought for Liberia, but his pardonable selfishness does not de- tract from the value of his coufisel. ‘That there are race prejudices in this, country from which the negro suffers will be ad- mitted by every one conversant with con- Gitions in the United States, but those preju- dices are steadily being weakened and elimi- nated, and at the same time there is grad- ually, yet surely, opening up a future for the negro in which there is more of promise than can possibly be offered by~ Liberia. Practical education—mestly along the lines of manual training—is doing great work for the American negro, and, as the years go by and advartage is taken of opportunities, the Amer‘can negro will move to a higher plone than now appears to be possible. An exodus of negroes from the southern states would result most seriously; would simply mean that the places of those who would leave conditions with which they are int- mate to wrestle with conditions practically urknown would have to be filled by cheap European labor; and a more undesirable change than that could hardly be. Dr. Biyden may be correct in his prophecy that at some time in the future the Ameri- can negro will migrate to Africa, but there is reason for believing that the prophecy is much too broad. The chances are that the American negro will, in the main, work out his salvation in America. —— oe The Requixites of Health. A writer in a recent issue of the “Popular Health Magazine” seeks to show “Why Baltimore is a healthy city.” He devotes several pages of print to this interesting demonstration, and then concludes with a most unfortunate pa‘‘agraph, pointing out the things that must be done ‘in order to make true the central desire of the essay. The water supply must be protected against pollution. The garbage and other offal of the city must be disposed of scientifically. The privy-vault system must be dispensed with. The ninety-seven cow stables and nearly twelve hundred cows within the city limits must be removed beyond the range of frequent habitation. The many slaugh- ter-houses in town must be abolished. There must be established a plan of secur- ing accurate vital statistics. Public baths will have tc be instituted. A disinfecting plant is required, together with a city hos- pital for the treatment of contagious dis- eases. In fact, the list is quite as long as might be expected from a dirty, unwhole- seme city. Little is left to the imagination after such a plea for better conditions, and the grim humor of the case is strong and undeniable, in view of the vain and inno- cent title of the paper. “Why Baltimore is Not a Healthy City” would seem to be more appropriate for a caption, after one has read the corcluding paragraph. Washing- ton reeds some of these things, indeed, many of them are absolutely essentie! be- fore it can claim to be a fully equipped sanitarlum, ——_++<-_ Nerves aud Other People’s Nerves. It has become the habit in these later days to regard every form of recreation; emusement or other personal delectation in. regard to its bearing upon the physical health of the partictpant rather than as re- gards the mental enjoyment it gives: The most recent recommendation of a hygienic character in this connection is that singing is excellent as a nerve tonic. It is pointed out that birds are always silent when they- are sad and pine away if they cannot be coaxed to sing, and so people are urged to life their voices and carol a ballad or song with frequency and vigor in order to secure that happiness which comes with health. It may be true that singing is a nerve tonic for those who indulge in it themselves, but where is the sedative to be found that will sooth the nerves of the neighbors who may be compelied to listen to such hygienic ac- tivity? The recognized justice of the rule which governs all communitfes“and which provides that only that which gives the greatest good to the greatest number will be permissible, will, we fear, prevent a gen- eral indulgence in health-seeking by means of vocal athletics. In itself it might not be so bad, but taink of the horror of the sit- uation when singing leads enthusiasts in the exercise of the lungs to the use of cor- nets, French horns and other wind instru- ments! —___+ «+ —____ The New Orleans Picayune, in discussing the subject of the dress reform moveinent now in progress among the women, has declared that the rext step would be the substitution of the page’s dress of medieval times for the bloomers now so much in evidence. This remark is made doubly in- teresting by the fact that the Picayune is owned and practically directed by a wo- man, and a most worthy member of the journalistic family of America. Can it be possible that the editor of the Picayune will shortly give a practical demonstration of her creed by appearing publicly clad after the fashion she suggests? —_+ + + ____ Probably the only persons concerned who are really sorry that Texas vetoed the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmeons mill are the dog-fighters, chicken-fighters and thimble-riggers.

Schofield as commanding general of the army; Gen. ‘Miles was ordered to Washington to take command. The attempt to prevent the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons fight at Dallas, Tex., by legislation was the topic of incerest during the week; there was virtually no opposition t6 ‘the prohibition desired by Gov. Culber- son, and the bill went through both houses in one day. A movement was put on foot in New York to take the steps necessary to bring about a enion of all anti-Tammany forces. The state constitutional convention in Columbia, S. C., adopted a section for- bidding the granting of divorces. Gov. Brown of Maryland began the hearing of charges against Messrs.

The steamer St. Paul, built by the Cramps for the Intern: tional Navigation Company, made an av- erage speed of 2 knots an hour on her official trial trip. There was a terrific storm on the lakes, which did great damage to shipping. There was but one bidder for making the new Lee rifles for the navy, at $17.69 per rifle for ten thousand arms. The Gentlemen of Philadelphia won the last of the international cricket matches from the English team by an inning and thirty-nine runs. The prominent deaths of the week included Robert Crozier, ex-United States Senator from Kansas; Gen. O. M. Poe, the well-known United States engineer; Prof H. H. Boyesen, and Harry Wright, the vet- eran base ball man, Foreign. China accepted the British ultimatum promplly, and the Viceroy of Szechuen was degraded for his connection with the massacre of missionaries. The Spanish warship Cristobal Colon, a second-class cruiser, has been wrecked in the Gulf of Guadiva, not a great distance from Ha- vana. Anxiety is manifested in British scientific circles over the fact that no news has been received from Dr. Donaldson Smith, the African explorer. More than fifty vessels and twenty-four lives were lost_in the recent storm off the coast of England. A r ution was adopted by the international law congress, in Brussels, providing that the next meeting of the igress be held in the United States in ‘The British parliament was further prorogued until December 23. At a meet- ing of Cuban provincial delegates in Puerto Principe on September 23 the independence of the island was proclaimed and a per- manent government chosen, of which Sal- vador Cideros of Puerto Principe is presi- dent. There was an uprising of Arme- nians in Constantinople, during which quite a number were killed on both sides, and five hundred Armenians were arrested. In the District. An interesting question in regard to the right of the Court of Appeals and the | District Supreme Court to admit a con- victed and sentenced defendant to bail pending the final disposition of his appeal to the Court of Appeals was decided by the admission of Capt. Howgate to bail. In closing its labors, the grand jury made a recommendation in favor of establishing here a whipping post for the punishment of wife beaters and petty thieves. An appli- cation was made to the Commissioners of the District by the officers of the George- town Barge, Dock and Elevator Company to lay tracks on Water street, Georgetown, in accordance with their charter; it is te- Tieved that this new road is to form a part of the proposed southern connection of the Baltimore and Ohio. It was announced by President Griswold of the Anacostia street railroad that it would be necessary to make @ reduction from $1.50 to $1.25 per day in the pay of employes or else reduce the number of cars. A patriotic demonstration / took place on the arrivai of the liberty bell from Philadelphia on its journey to At- lanta; the District Commissioners, repre- sentatives of the board of trade, Sons of the Revolution, Sons of the American Rev- olution, Daughters of the American Rev lution and a military escort headed by the Marine Band greeted the committee, com- posed of the representatives of the legis- lative bodies of Philadelphia, who are in charge of the bell on the arrival of the car in this city; the Philadelphia commit- tee was escorted to the rooms of the board of trade, where luncheon was served and appropriate speeches made. With appro- priate ceremonies the McMahon Hall of Philosophy at the Catholic University was dedicated. Sessions of the congress of the Eucharistic League were held. Lafayette Square Opera House was opened to the public. Many friends of William Hall Slack were paired to learn of his death, which occurred in Beach Haven, N. J. Harry M.

The following very big surprises to occur Monday are accompanied with a full explanation. ZASNe And 30c Yard For Dress Fabrics Worth From soc to 75c. The very great surprise is that these fabrics are the very latest ar- rivals from Europe, consisting of 423 pieces, as follows: Silk and Wool Suitings. Mohair and Wool Suitings, English Check Suitings. Scotch Tweed Mixtures. Boucle Cloth Novelties. French Plaid Suitings. “Tailor-made’’ Cloths, Silk-finish Henriettas.

The £xplanation: The season opened auspiciously with the im- porters. The retailers bought so freely that the supply hardly met the demand. The wholesalers sent immense repeat orders to Europe.
