THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. CROSBY 5S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more t the combined etr- * eulation ef the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne competitor. 7! 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. = — The Perversion of History. The current fad for picturesque histozy is enabling the space writers to work off some extraordinary yarns. A curious in- stance of this sort is the story palmed off upon a Philadelphia paper, and which is ow going the rounds of the press unchal- lenged, put in the mouth of a colored man named Nathaniel Sims, who, it is alleged, was “in the carly sixties” @ waiter for Mrs. Mary E. Surratt. The narrative goes on to say: “The missis lived at Surrattsville, about seven miles from Weshington, and, being a lady of wealth. owned considerable of the village. “She entertained frequently. John Wilkes Booth was a frequent visitor at the house, he being very intimate with my mistress’ son, John Surratt. Booth, a kind of a help- less fellow, required a gocd deal of waiting on, and from him I received the first money I could say was mine. About two months before the taking off of President Lincoln Booth was at the Surratt mansion steady. A few days before the shooting of the President Mrs. Surratt and I went into ‘Washington, and she bought nine or twelve pistols at a gunsmith’s. They were put in @ little coffin, which the undertaker hauled ih his hearse across the Eastern branch bridge. The guards supposed it was a funeral, and made no attempt at search- ing. Mrs. Surratt, after reaching home, hung the pistols around on the walls of er room. “On the night of the assassination Booth and John Surratt ate supper together and left the house. About midnight Booth re- turned, and I heard Mrs. Surratt clap her hands and exclaim, ‘I'm glad the old rebel is dead'—meaning our noble Lincoln. That same night I helped Booth into the saddle, cnd he shot down the pike as if demons were after him. On opening the house next trorning I was surprised to see the piazza end yard full of soldiers. One of them asked if Booth had been at the house dur- ing the night, and I repiied that he had. In 2 short time my mistress and all hands shout the place were taken to Washing- on.” The assassination of President Lincoin ‘was perpetrated on the 14th of April, 1865, a little more than thirty years ago, and it is a curious illustration of the way in which the great facts of history are for- gotten in this rushing period that this absurd fabrication concerning the events of that great tragedy should pass unchal- lenged. The facts that Mrs. Surratt was living in Washington at that time; that her house on H street was described and pic- torfally represented from one end of the country to the other as the “nest” of the conspiracy; that both she and Payne were arrested in that house, and that a great part of the evidence at the trial of the con- spirators centered upon that building, seem to have dropped utterly into oblivion. A similar instance of the public forget- fulness occurred not long ago, and curiously enough a Philadelphia paper was again the sporsor for the story, and curiously enough a “colored person” was again the story-teller. The narrative was located in Baltimore, and gave the particulars of an interview with a very respectable colored ‘woman, who told how she entertained the wife of John Brown at her house in that city at the time of the execution of Brown, with a long story of what Mrs. Brown said and did on the occasion, and how she bewailed that she had not been permitted to be near her husband or to see him before the execution. This story, too, went the rounds unquestioned, though it seems that every school boy must have known that Mrs. Brown was quartered at Harper's Ferry at that time; that she was taken up to Charleston the night before the execu- tion and spent some hours with her hus- baad in the jail; that she returned to Harper’s Ferry that night, and that after the execution she accompanied her hus- band’s body on the train north. —___ = ____ A Boundary Trouble of Our Own. Tidings from Alaska indicate that the embarrassments of the administration in its relations with Great Britain are apt to grow. It appears that the miners at Juneau, which is in American territory, are very much agitated over the boundary question, row supposed to be in course of settlement. Great Britain has discovered that the Juneau gold fields are valuable and promising and, with characteristic impudence, she proczeds to claim them. It is evident from the in- formation now at hand that the miners do not relish the prospect of British rule over the gold fields, and are indignant that this country has taken no vigorous measures to prevent further aggression. The inazzessi- bility of the territory in dispute makes delay in adjusting sudden emergencies permts- sible. But fhe United States has now owned Alaska long enough to ensure to the dwell- ers and investors in that region a guarantee of certainty as to their nationality. There ought to be no question about the ownership of an inch of land on this continent at the present day. While the administration is busy sustaining the Monroe doctrine in the Venezuela case it may perhaps find Ime to assure the American citizens at Juneau that they are in no danger of being bodily transferred to her majesty’s jurisdiction. = Some of the Chicago letter carriers were blamed fcr loitering too long on door-steps to talk with femirine recipients of mis- sives. As a tribute to the charms of Gar- den City femininity this accusation may lose much of the force with the gentler element of the community. ——_+ +2___ The question whether prize-fighting is bretal can be confidently answered in the negative if present tendencies continue. Pugilism shows every symptom of becom- ing as harmless as a ‘school debate or an Cocution exercise. —_—e2____ It really looks as though the only way for some of the members of Europe's ar- istooracy to avoid doing the wrong thing at the wrong time is to marry some sen- uible level-headed American girl. ——__~++____ ‘The was probably never an honest and persistent reformer in the whole course of history who was not accused of seeking notoriety. ———_> ++ ____ Beventy mer only were at work today on the city post office. ———_~+ +> __ Nerve of the Southern Governors. The sensible people of the southern states, who are unquestionably in an over- whelming majority over all, will doubtless fcel very grateful to Governofs Culberson and Clarke for their determined opposition to the Corbett-Fitzsimmons mill that was Scheduled to take place in that region, but that now has been declared off on account of the refusal of one of the principals to sign the amended articles, made necessary by the stubborn opposition of the authori- ties. This ts a great victory for those who believe that prize-fighting {s the least de- sirable form of athletics, and who feared that through weakness of administration the southern states might become a fair field for such contests. There was cer- tainly some reason to believe that this part of the country, so long the scene of fights between man and man, and so com- placent in the attitude ef many of its peo- ple toward exhibitions of that kind, might eventually achieve a very undesirable rep- utation for an indifference td the -best Principles of good citizenship and admit Prise-fighters into its borders, without pro- test and even with welcome. But the stern and successful opposition of the governor of Texas has put an end to all such’poss!- bilities. His bold course in calling the legislature together to make a law when one was sorely needed has scarcely a par- allel In modern history. Governor Clarke had no law behind him, but he was all nerve, aud, relying on the better judgment of his people, he literally bluffed the fighters out of the field. Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Arkansahs have thus closed their doors against the pugilists. There are a few other states that may profitably follow suit, and if Virginia will lead the proces- sion of these and put an end to the demor- alizing exhibitions that take place at Alex- andria, as well as the fake horse-racing at the south end of the Long Bridge, the new south will have received a great moral ‘mpulse. —_-+ + ____ A Refuse Crematory Needed. The health officer’s reccommendations to the Commissioners for the establishment of a refuse crematory’in this city should be put Into effect through the influence of the District authorities with the proper appro- priations committees of Congress. The Star recently published a letter from a citizen caYing attention to the dump nuisance and editorially pointed out the danger as well as the discomfort of allowing the refuse of the streets to be accumulated on the vacant Icts, to be hauled here and there and picked over by scavengers, or fired by mischievous boys, filling the air with ‘unwholsome dust and odors. Dr. Woodward makes a par- ticular point of the menace arising from the scattering of wall paper, scraped from houses in every quarter, over the lots. In many cases this paper is impregnated with disease germs that live for indefinite periods ard are apt to be implanted in the systems of untold numbers of people who do not, of ccurse, know the danger of such a contam- iration. The comparatively pitiful sum re- quired, $20,000 a year, to maintain such a crematory should be granted by Congress without hesitation. kr — - + ee Charity beginneth at home, the old proverb declares. Politics, come folks be- lieve, has the same habit. Mr. Don M. Dickinson is an example of the folly of teglecting this adage. While scattering abroad the seeds of the third term piant and attending to other people's politicg! hedges he has neglected his own potato patch and when he came to dig the hills he found all his tubers gone. But the de- feat of the ex-Postmaster General for the Mayoralty nomination in Detroit may really prove a boon after all. The present mayor, Pingree, has been named for an- other term and will in all likelihood be elected. The democratic nomination in such case is apt to prove a gold brick and maybe Mr. Dickinson is too shrewd to want it very badly. —__-+ 6 + —_____ The Sultan of Turkey is accused of be- ing, in common with a number of eminent statesman, a reformer for publication only. —_ + = ____ The impulsive Oriental should remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a double-leaded column of explanation. ——_++-_____ The fact that Mr. Van Alen looks like the Prince of Wales sgould not develope an ambition to act like him. —__+++____ As a protracted financial dicker the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons affair becarie tiresome some months since. ——_+ + = ____ Experts are declaring that New York's blanket ballot comes a little short of cover- ing the situation. —_—~+e—___ It is not always the country which gets in the first ultimatum that does the most business. SHOOTING STARS. A Valued Correspondent. “You sey he contributes to the maga- zines?” said the literary girl. “Yes,” replied his rival. “Anything worth using?” “What?” “Postage stamps. Where She Failed. She wrote about ethics, she talked about art; The neighbors declared she was wondrous- ly smart; Her brain was enormous; you 'most heard its thumps, But she never, no never, could learm what was trumps. Her Rejoinder. “I wonder,” said the man who had been out for the evening, ‘“‘why some bright women marry such insignificant hus- bands?” “William,” she said admiringly, ‘‘you are really too modest; you nearly do yourself an injustice.” “De hypocrit,” said Uncle Eben, “’mag- ines dat de mantle ob charity wus cut out exclusively ter fit him. The Jim-Bob Affair, Listen, child, and I will tell Of the battle grim, Where appeared not long ago The heroes Bob and Jim. Said Jim to Bob, “You are a man Whom I greatly despise.” Said Bob to Jim, “the sight 1s torture to my eye: you They forthwith sent a challerge out; * They made it strong and right, And then the various cities fussed Over which should have the fight. And next the governors came forth, Angry through and through; Bossed the legislatures ‘round, And did {t easy, too. Then the managers arose Full of righteous ire; Called each other horrid names, One of which was “Har.” Soon the people took it up With a mighty din; Factions quarreled night and day Over which would win. Thus for morths our souls were kept Anxiously a-throb; All the universe took part— All but Jim and Bol Aggression in Alaska. From the Philadelphia Press. The discovery of rich gold mines was the inspiration of Great Britain in ad- vancing its boundary line in Venezueia. The British government claimed enough new territory to get the miaes. The same thing, It appears, Is going on in Alaska. Valuable gold mines have been discovered in the territcry of the United States. As a result Great Britain has advanced her boundary claim so as to take in a large slice of our territory. At what Great Bri- tain considers an opportune time we shall probably be handed an “ultimatum” to give up the territory or fight. That is Great ri- tain's Christian way of settling a dispute when she thinks she can win by force. ——_ 2 +___ A Practical Policy. From the Baltimore American. The Monroe dcctrine is a thoroughly practical feature of American policy, quite as vital today as when acknowledged by both the United States and British govern- ments rome soventy years ago, and it com- pletely covers the demands made upon Ven- uela by Great Britain, eS oeor> ( SHOES!

Palace Market, 1027 coxx. ava 0c22-16e0 RIPANS TABULES. Mr. R. L. Johns of Selma, Ala., is in the habit of buying Ripans Tabules at White’s Pharmacy at Selma. When interviewed at the time of a recent ~ purchase, Mr. Johns said: “Ever since I was in the army, where I contracted indigestion and dyspepsia from eating ‘hard tack and sow belly,’ I have suffered much from those and kindred ailments. A son of mine who clerks for J. N. Harter in a drug store at Winfield, Kans., told me while home on a visit, over a year ago, to get a box of Ripans Tabules and take them. I did, and ina very short time I was benefited, and by the time they were half gone I was well, and since then I have felt better, ate more and relished it better than at any time since the war, and am doing more work now than I ever expected to do again. I tell you, they are the greatest medicine for a fellow’s stomach I ever saw. This . box is for a neighbor of mine out by me in the country. We always have them at home, and I never hesitate to recommend them when a fellow complains about his stomach hurting him.
