THE ING SPAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washingte dailica. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. €71In order to avold delnyn, on ac- count 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. = No Reason for Alarm. The caim and sensible statement by a prominent physician concerning the preva- lence of typhoid fever in the city which was printed in The Star last evening shou'd allay the fears that the disease is epidemic here. The disease can be averted. It is by no means as dangerous or threat- ening as diphtheria, scarlet fever or small- pox, all of which are more or less preva- lent in every large city each season. It has rot so large a death rate and is more easily handled by intelligent physicians and nurses if detected in time. But best of all, it can be avoided by careful living. Certain rules that were detailed by The Star's informant yesterday, and that have already been briefly mentioned in these columns, are practically sure to save those who observe them conscientiously from at- tacks of the fever. If the people will but Temember one fact all will be well: Ty- phoid fever is contracted only by the ab- sorption through the stomach of a living bacillus. A strict avoidance of such ma- terials of fcod and drink as are apt to contain the disease germ will therefore prevent infection, The boiling of all water and milk, abstinence from the use of ice gathered from doubtful quarters, and care in the preparation of solid foods eare the surest guarantees known against a devel- opment of the disease. It is useless for the citizens to become alarmed at the prospect, for it is by no means as threatening as many people believe. The small-pox scare of last winter was far more reasonable than thé incipient fright’ that some think to be new on the townspeople. Words of warning are not to be taken as danger sig- nals. It is the course of reason to seek for information that niay prevent trouble, even though the chances are most remote for the coming of danger. The best preventive remedies against any d’sease are a comfort- able mind and a sense of security born of a rigid adherence’ to the rules of right liv- ing. The situation does not grow more threatening and the physicians of the city unanimously declare that the so-called epi- demic is a myth and that the prevalence of the disease is not a cause for alarm. —_+--- John Pope Hodnett Again. The last drop in the bucket of Lord Sackville’s humiliation is the claim by the roterious John Pope Hodnett that he saved Sackville’s life by informing him of the Irish plots for his assassination, and that his informaticn was the foundation for Lord Sackville’s demand upon our govern- ment fer protection. This development is calculated to increase the broad smile that Played across the public countenance over Sackville’s plaintive story of his dime museum offer, into what Artemus Ward would call “highlayryus lafture.” That this distinguished member of the top- loftiest of diplomatic corps—for we all know that the English diplomatsebeat crea- tion for astuteness and ability—should have been duped, first by an innocent hayseed Californian, of the alleged name of Murchi- son, into writing a most compromising letter; and should next be humbugged, de- moralized and scared out of his wits by the blatherskite crank, John Pope Hodnett, is calculated to promote the hilarity of the nations. John Pope has figured in Wash- ington in many lines of the crank role, sometimes at the head cf a squad of negro followers bearing the magniloquent title of “The United Labor League of America;” sometimes as a pretender to the throne of England, or to the occupation of the White House, or to the ownership of the states of New York, New Jersey, Penn- sylvania and Maryland, “including Wash- ington and the District of Columbia,” as heir to “the Earls of March, the Earls of Shrewsbury, the Lords of Baltimore, the Dukes of Buckingham and the Dukes of York,” but it was never dreamed that he would turn up as the confident and savior of a great and noble English diplomat; and that his (John Pope Hodnett’s) disclosures concerning this most diabolical and un- heard-of plot against Sackville’s life should furnish the data for, great international complications. Verily, there 1s only one John Pope Hodnett, and there is only one Sackville-West! en Tre Bishop of Washington. However disappointing it may have been to Washington Episcopalians, Bishop Pa- ret's decision to remain in Baltimore when the diocese 1s divided was not surprising. Fis earlier as@ociations would draw him back to Washington, to be sure, but for several years he has been, on account of official necessf™es, a resident of Baltimore and now in his later period of life he doubt- less dreads a change, and an assumption of the great task of organizing a new diocese. But there is a plenty of excellent material among Washiugton’s clergymen for a bish- cep. Indeed the capital is unusually rich in stch talent. There are-several men here, any one of whom would be an ornament to the house of bishops, and a splendid head of local church affairs. The new bishop, too, will be an official of unusual importance in the church as, although the proposition to establish a primacy here was defeated, the diocese that Includes the capital of the ration and the site of so many institutions of learning that are now here and: are al- ready projected will, it Is conceded, soon become the center of church authority. The bishop of Washington, whoever he may be, 13 destined to occupy a notable place in the religious history of America. ——— The latest revelations in the famous will case recall the old adage that it is better not io know so much than to know so many things that aren't so. ——_—_+ e = —___ A telegram from Texas states that Cor- bett is despondent over the outlook. This T™must mean that the fight is actually com- ing off. —_~e+_____ ‘There were no men at work on the city post office building today. —_—_—_+e A Satisfactory Comparison. The members of the Good Government Clubs in New York have recently been in- vestigating the condition of the public school system of that city, and the results are shocking. The sanitary condition in a great majority of the buildings was found t» be of the most wretched character possible. The committee that went through | | be hoped that the department will forego the city discovered that the average build- ing was dark to the point of threatening the sight of every child there in attendance. The over-crowding made necessary by the lack of accommodations resulted in the placing of three children on two seats, in many cases, thus causing the middle child te occupy a section interrupted by an open space. This made certain forms of disease quite prevalent. In most of the schools gas must be lighted on all but the very brightest of days. The air-space is small and the supply is bad. Many of the schools ire surrounded by the very worst neigh- bors. Poultry markets and sausage fac- tories are among the near companions of the schools, and notwithstanding the law saloons are close at hand. In some schools classes are taught in great halls, separated by woolen curtains, laden with disease germs brought in by children suffering from the initial symptoms of scarlet fever and other juvenile ailments. Damp pave- menis in the play-yards are the rule. Wa- ter closets and other such arrangements are of the least perfect form and in the peorest possible condition. Text-books were found, too, by the inquirers that smacked of ancient times, and teaching methods were discovered that belonged io the days of the wooden bench and the bunch of birch rods behind the door. Political appoint- ments had been made for so many years that the average of intelligence among the teachers was desperately low, while every item of expenditure among the schools was subject to the grab-game rules that were recently sHown to be the main in- spiration of the police department. Washingtonians may well congratulate themselves upon having a system that is not only ample enough to accommodate a Breat majority of the children with full facilities, and all of them with some, but that is not subject to the terrors of un- wholesomeness. If the Washington schools are to be noted for one thing of all others it is their cleanliness. The average intelli- gence of the teaching force is high, the civil-service system of appointments pre- vails and the entire plant is economically managed. There is little left to desire ex- cept such an enlargement of the system that will make ‘t possible to give every child in the District sufficient accommo- dations. It pays to look abroad once in a while to see what others have not, in or- der to appreciate what we have ourselves. ——- see Gorman’s Work. ‘If Senator Gorman should now visit the great Washington gun factory he would no doubt be gratified to see some of the re- sults of his enmity toward the navy at the last sessioa of Congress, and it is quite certain that his reception would be equally as cool as that of yesterday at Snow Hill. Instead of this plant running on full time and employing upvard of one thousand men it is now practically handicapped for want of material to turn out guns and gun carriages, all because Senator Gor- man could not command the desirable pa- tronage which his constituents living in the counties contiguous to the city be- lieved they were entitled to.”—Baltimore Sun. This is only a single instance of the man- ner in which Gormanism has worked mis- chief to District interests and the people of the District. From Mr. Gorman’s influ- ential position upon half a dozen important Senate committees, especially the appro- priations committee and committee upon printing. he is able to dictate appointments and removals in almost every branch of the government service to the disadvan- tage always of District people. It is need- less to say that he has our District gov- ernment by the throat and that he can compel the Commissioners, under penalty of defeat of appropriations, to appoiat Gor- man men to office and to obey his dicta- tion in various other matters down even to giving the garbage service to a Gorman contractor. This is cne of the penalties we have to pay fcr Gorman bossnip in Mary- Jand. 1 A Strange Nomination. It is not remarkable that the republicans of New York are disposed to bolt the nom- ination of ex-Police Inspector Alexander S. Williams for the state senate. It would be the height of folly and insincerity for them to support such a nominee, with the unsavory record that the Lexow inquiry uncovered. Else why any investigation? It would be a sad waste of time and money to expose the corruption of the police @c- partment if the besmirched officials are to be allowed to step from the positions that they had been @ishonoring into other places of trust. A man who made a bad inspector of police is very apt to make a bad senator. His tendency to crooked- ness could rot all have been incidental to his position. The fact that he now aspires to become a law-maker instead of a law-breaker is additional reason for his rejection by New Yorks’ voters. The man who Is inclined to violate good statutes 1s just the sort of chap to aid in creating regulations that make pilfering and official malfeasance a safer pastime than before. ——__ - + += —___ Oysters have been discovered on the bot- tom of the battle-ship Texas. If the drain on the United States treasury should con- tinue it might be profitable for Uncle Sam to go into the business of cultivating bi- valves on a large scale. There are ships enough in the navy, both ancient and modern, to afford an excellent plant, es- pecially as they promise to be useless for thelr legitimate pucposes as long as Con- gress refuses to provide adequate docking facilities or adequate guns. A good, steady supply of oysters cultivated on the bottoms of the new cruisers might be made fash- ionable enough to ensure quite a respect- able reverue. 2 The prompt recognition by the anul-Tam- many statesmen of the diverse opinions that exist on the Sunday-closing question is a good deal of a set-back to those who ex- pected to use Mr. oos2ve.t as the inspira- tion for a campaign of personal abuse. SS Unless our pugitists can get a chance to establish themselves as ‘ighters, they wil have to get along wich being mere “prot sors.”” —_—_+ e+ ____ Mr. Debs emergs from the jail just at a time when the working men are too busy too listen to hard-times speeches. << Lord Sackville is old enough to have known long ago that the man who has been buncoed gets no sympathy. —__~ 2 ___ It is beautiful to see the candidates dodg- ing national issues and hus ufter the bicycle and bloomer yote. ——+++—.

From the New York Herald. Judge Bradley's opinion in the Armes habeas corpus case did not surprise any army or navy officer familiar with the cir- cumstances of Capt. Armes’s arrest. Mili- tary law should not, in time of peace,extend to confinement of the person,except in cases where there is reason to believe that the accused may desert or use violence to other people. Whether he is on the active or re- tired list makes no difference. In the case of Capt. Armes all the re- quirements of the situation would have been fulfilled by the issuance of an order putting him under military arrest prepara- tory to trial by court-martial. It is hard to understand how Gen. Scho- field could have become so “rattied” as to imprison an officer well known to be highly excitable merely because he sent an im- pertinent letter to his superior in rank. If there really is, as reported, an intention on the part of the War Department to ap- peal from Judge Bradley’s decision, it is to such an unwise purpose. The matter ought to be allowed to rest where it is. See Electricity is Getting There. From the New York Tribune. Experiments were recently made near Boston in hauling fr y electricity, with a success at once surp! ing and grati- fying. Still more astonishing is the result of tests of electric locomotives made in the railr els at Baltimore, where a speed of sixty-one miles an hour was at- tained. As the grade was heavy, this is considered equivalent to seventy-five miles ur on a level track. * THE WEEK. The question whether Corbett and Fitzsimmons, the pugilists, will meet with hostile intent October 81, has usurped to a large extent the first place in popular interest. The Texas legislature promptly passed a law against figiting. The fighters then turned their at- tention to Indian Territory. Indian Com- missioner Browning notified Agent G. M. Wisdom, at Muscogee, I. T., to use all means, troops if necessary, to drive out from the Indian Territory persons coming there with a view of participating In a prize fight. Then the pugilists thought of Hot Springs, Ark., but the governor has declared that he is opposed to the fight and will use force to prevent it. The representatives of the British Canad‘an and United States gov- ernments arranged to meet next week to settle the claijns of vessel owners, whose sealing craft was seized prior to the an- nouncement of the Paris arbitration, and antecedent to the modus vivendi. The tri- ennial session of the national countil of the Congregational Churches of the United States was begun yesterday at Syracuse, N, Y. The twenty-fifth annual convention of the general council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of North America was begun at Easton, Pa. The new American line steamship St. Paul started on her first voyage for Southampton. The drought in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and In- diana has caused much loss. Bishop Paret announced at the Episcopal convention in Minneapolis that he had decided to stay in Baltimore. The liberty bell was received in state at the Atlanta exposition grounds; there was a large escort of military and school children. Several men have been ar- rested in Buffalo, N. Y., charged with pad- ding the pay rolls of the street bureau of the y with dummy names and embezzling large sums of money. The deaths of the week included Cyrus T, Cook, a prominent republican politician of Edwardsville, IN; James J. Brooks, ex- chief of the United States secret service department, and Pay Inspector Bache, United States navy. Foreign. A hurricane swept over La Paz, Mexico, destroying 184 houses, four lives and injur- ing abou® twenty-one persons. Nineteen craft were beached, and a government cutter was sunk; gardens and orchards were washed away. Pope Leo XIII sent a letter to Cardinal Rampolla, resenting as an insult the recent celebration in Italy and predicting new perils and dire disas- ters. A bill was introduced in the lower house of the Danish parliament to author- ize the appointment of twenty paid consuls for Denmark, including one each at New York, Chicago, New Orleans and Rio de Jan- eiro. Workmen are busy in the ports of Spain refitting cruisers and gunboats tor service in Cuban waters. The Turkish govern- ment’s reply to the demands of the powers concerning the treatment of the Armenians was not satisfactory to the ambassadors. The porte in its answer declares that the Mussulmen were not the aggressors in the recent rioting. The British steamer Li- yonia was sunk in a collision with the Napier, also British, off the Island of Aaland; fourteen of the Livonia’s crew were drowned. ‘The capital of Madagas- car was captured by the French and the war ended. Forty workmen were buried by the collapse of a spinning factory at Bocholt, Westphalia, ten of whom were Killed. "The Queen ‘of Corea is supposed to have been killed by the anti-reformers, who, headed by the king's father, forced an entrance into the palace. Gaetana Stemoli was arrested in Sicily for poisoning twenty-three children. The deaths of tha week included Ada Cavendish, a_well- krown actress; Sir James Robert Drum- mond, G, .C. Cc. B.; William Welmore Story, the American sculptor. In the District. As one of the results of the accident at Virginia avenue and 7th street when a train on the cable road was run into by an engine on the steam road, the officers of the former road made a formal com- plaint to the Commissioners of the prac- tice of the Pennsylvania Company of park- ing their cars on Virginia avenue. Pa- trens of the Belt line were enabled to ride 2s formerly withvut change of cars. A per- mit was granted by the Commissioners to the Georgetown Dock and Elevator Com- pany to lay a track on Water street from the Aqueduct bridge to Rock creek, thus providing, it is believed, an entrance for the Baltimore and Ohio into Georgetown. Some attention was given to the preva- lence cf typhoid fever in the city and a committee of the board of trade had a conference with the District Commission- ers relative to the importance of urg- ing prompt action by Congress on the sewer extension bill. At a meeting of the South Washingtcn . Citizens’ Association, the permit issued by the Commissioners for the erection of a garbag: destruction plant on South Capitol street gave rise to adverse comment. An increase in the bar roem license fee from $400 to $800 and wholesale license fee from $250 to $400 was recommended to the Commissioners by the excise board. A new feature in the Holt\will case was the publication af a story to the effect that a min named Clyde Cullen of Buckton, Va., was the person who had mailed the will of 1873 to the register of wills. The case of Miss Flagler, who last August shot and killed Ernest Green, a young color2d boy, was considered by the grand jury. In the ha- beas corpus proceedings for the release of Major Armes, arrested by Gen Schofield, acting secretary of war, Judge Bradley made an order directing the discharge of the prisoner from custody. Frank H. Pad- gett, secretary of the Columbia Typograph- ical Union, who mysteriously disappeared, was found in a delerious condition in the suburbs of Baltimore. William D. Deloe, who wand2red away from his home in Dubois, Pas, while in a dazed condition, re- turned to the home of his father in this city after an abzence of twelve days. Af- ter a session In this city of several days, the Supreme Castle, Knights of the Golden Eagle, adjourned. Rev. T. DeWitt Tal- mage was transferred to membership in the Washington city presbytery and for- mally accepted the call as co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. The deaths ef Gen. William Mahone and James E. Pugh occurred. SHOOTING STARS. As Usual. Once more the genial candidate, Both gracious and astute, Puts up his campaign promises Ia packages to suit.
