THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY............October 24, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES. .Edltor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permancat Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News a Advertisi: Medium it has no competitor. lm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editerin! or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ntes for the District. estimates of the District The annual Ccmmissioners, noted in this afternoon's Star, show a full appreciation on the part of the Commissioners of the great needs of this growing ecmmunity. They ask for a budget that aggregates an expenditure of $7,496,257.47, In addition to the sum of $3,000,000 to carry out the plans of the sewer commission. Their itemized Hst of projected expenditures embraces most of the many improvements that the city sorely needs. Prominent among these ts the estimate of $190,000 for work on a municipal building and court house, rec- ognized as a necessity for so many yyears. The Commissioners also include in their estimates appropriations for the general extension of the city’s sewer system, including an intercepting sewer to relieve the James Creek canal, which is at present such a serious menace to the health of the District. Generous provisions for improving ungraded and un- paved streets are made. In realization of the lack of adequate school facilities the Commissioners ask fer an appropriation for a new high school building in the west- ern section of the city and for a number of graded schools, together with increases to the teaching force that such additions to the number of buildings make requisite. The police and fire departments are also taken int» generous consideration, as they deserve to be, and not the least important stimate is that for an increase of one hun- dred and twenty-five men in the. ranks of the police. These estimates are based upon a careful study of the necessities as well as of the resources of the District, and it is hoped Congress will not permit injustice to be done the District through a@ desire to make a record for economy. —__++e ___. One More Idol Smashed. It turns cut that Mr. Rose, the recent challenger fo; the America’s cup, has fallen under the unfortunate influence of Lord Dunraven, and tas been led to withdraw bis challenge because it might be construed into a reflection upon His Lordship’s aciion in the farce that was terminated by the withdrawal of the Valkyrie from the inter- rational races. The first burst of enthusi- astic admiration for Mr. Rose was inspired by the belief that all Britons were not cads, and that there was at least one true sports- man left to keep up the time-honored con- tests for the great trophy. But it now ap- pears that Rose, too, is tainted by the be- lef that a member of the British nobility can do no wrong, and that it would be dis- courteous to a man who has proved himself a sulky quitter to now try to renovate the damaged reputatien of the English sports- men. But there may yet be a race next year. Mr. Rose and Lcrd Dunraven are not the only yachtsmen in England, and their rersistence in misconstruing the American position in this matter is not apt to affect the whole of the British Isles with the dog -in-the-marger complaint from which these two weakening challengers now appear to be spffering. Mr. Rose had an excellent opportunity to demonstrate that he wes capable of seeing the truth even of ar American attitude on a contro- verted question, but it develops that he is afficted with an exaggerated form of the disease so prevalent in this country when- ever a titled member of the English, snob- ocracy reaches these shores. += ___ Less Typhoid Fever. Th weekly returns of the health office show that all danger of an epidemic of typhoid fever appears to be past if the people continue to observe the rules given them. The deaths from this cause have decreased from fcurteen to eight, and there ig reason to believe that the number of cases is also much smaller, though the health officer is still handicapped in making full returns by the failure of all the physi- cians to turn in complete morbidity re- perts. The decline in typhoid cases ts a sufficient evidence that the people have gererally taken the advice given by physi- cizns and other authorities through the press, and have otserved the few simple rules that have been given relative to the use of water and milk. In most households all the water has been boiled before using, and this has unquestionably resulted in a Marked decrease in infection and conse- quently in the resultant number of deaths. But the danger period is not yet fully passed, and it will not do for the people to diminish in any particular the precaution observed during the three weeks that have just gone by. Water used for drinking or in the preparation of food should be boiled, and care should be taken to avoid the use o. milk that comes from any but the most reliable sources of supply. It will be sev- eral weeks before there can safely be any relaxation from these reascnable and easy measures of protection. —— e+ ___ Russia's warlike preparations are to fur- nish occupation for the workmen at Home- stead for some months to come. In a gen- eral philanthropic sense it is, perhaps, to be regretted that Russia has any use for patent armor, but it is a matter of satis- faction that, go long as the necessity exists, this country is the one which can produce the goods and reap the profit — England has, no doubt, taken into con- sideration the fact that, with the reyolu- tions which frequently occur, the averige South American state has had many op- portunities to study the assumedly awe- inspir-ng ultimatum at close range. oe The President has, at Atlanta, formally inaugurated the executive handshake sea- son of 1895-96 6 There were but eighty-four men at work today on the city post-office building. ——___ es Reflected Reputation. The Baltimore American proudly declares this morning that the large suburb of Washington on the north is in line of pro- motion. It says: “Baltimore is earning another title, and will soon come to be known as the City of Ccnventions as well as that of monuments. And the memory of every successive con- vention remains as a monument to the city’s hospitality, healthy air, good food and all-around advantages.” It is a great convenience to have such a good-sized community as Baltimore so near to the national capital as it is quite useful as an overflow meeting place. But it will never do for the enthusiasts of Baltimore to be carried away by the fact that a single large organization has chesen that city for holding its annual session this year. Wash- ington does more convention business in any seven consecutive days than Baltimore does in a whole year. There Is not a week in which one to half a dozen national so- cieties are not to be found here In sesston. Some months ago The Star undertook to keep tab on these pilgrimages to the great national shrine, and on counting back one year it was found that on an average there had been three general organizations in session here each week. In fact there was scarcely a day on which there was not some national meeting in progress. And this tendency of all Americans to come bere to transact organizational affairs has been on the incresse since that time. €ast week there were in session here the Na- tional Gospel Mission Union, the Women’s Foreign Mission conference of the M. E. Church South, the Commandery in Chief of the Loyal Legion, the National Spiritual- ists’ Association, the National Liquor Dealers’ Association and Grand Council Order of the Mystic Shrine, Colored Ma- scns. That was a fairly good week. This week there are in session the Unitarians of America, the Royal Order of Scotland and the Supreme Council of 33d Degree Masons. Throughout summer and winter, spring and autumn, these citizens of the republic come to Washington and then depart, eager to re- turn. It is noteworthy that national or- ganizations are prone to choose Washing- ton as a place of meeting every few years, while scattering their visits in the interven- ing years around among the other cities with fair liberality that gives all of them a chance for at least one visitation apiece. Trere are now in mind two -great bodies that have decided to meet here next sea- son, and others are booked to take the same action. “These are the Union Veterans’ Legion and the United Society of Christian Endeavor. The Episcopalian Congress at Minneapolis voted to come here in 1898, for the next session, and there is a seriously corsidered proposition before the Knights Templar to establish permanent headquar- ters here and to utilize this city as a regu- lar meeting place. —_—_+ + +____ Americanism is Popular. No amount of argument by certain Ameri- can newspapers in behalf of the British position in the present Venezuelan dispute can possibly convince the people of the United States that dignified Americanism is improper or unprofitable. It is unfor- tunate that such journals should continue to assert that England is justified in mak- ing claims upon the little republic to the scuth of us because the Uruan incident, as they declare, is distinct from the main beundary dispute that forms the principal bone of contention between the two coun- tries. There is abroad a firm belief in the justice of the American position, backed by general desire that the United States should, by a strong, aggressive policy, maintain its proper position in the ranks of nations. There was a time when the word American- ism was supposed to imply a slur upon the political intelligence of the persons accused of that dreadful affliction, but, fortunately, that day is passed, and there ts no doubt whatever that a vast majority of the people of this country are today in sympathy with the sturdy principles of the present Secre- tary of State, who has set a pece in diplo- mi.tic administration that is gratifying and reassuring. Sensation mongers may seek to undermine his influence or deter him from his conscientious course by absurd stories to the effect that he is apt to alienate him- self from the sympathies of the President and the rest of the cabinet by his firm at- titude in the present dispute, but sensible men, realizing that President Cleveland could commit no more grievous political error than to dismiss a minister for such popular conduct, pay no attention whatever to these tales of the imagination. ——~ ++ ____ There is every reason to feel confident that,- whatever unfavorable impression the Duke. of Marlborough may have acquired of this country, he will be compelled to ad- mit that its customs as to nuptial celebra- tions are liberal and artistic. —_+ ++ ____ Thcre is nothing dignified in a chronic ambition to “twist the tail of the British lion.” But it is also unbecoming in a gr2at people to sit idly by and see the American eagle deprived of her caudal plumage. feather by feather. —--- oe Mayor Pingree’s incidental contributions to the satirist’s stock in trade do not seem to materially interfere with his “getting there” in the broader sense of the word. —____ + ++_____ SHOOTING STARS. Retribution. “Lillian,” he said, severely, to the new woman, “did you mail that letter I gave you this morning?” And then she put her hand in the inside pocket of her overcoat, started, got red in the face and almost wished that she had never been emancipated. A Summarized Controversy. Says one side, “Oh, ye villains; = To your methods vile are due All this glorious country’s trouble Says the other, “Same to you.” Evergreen. Though old friends drift toward the dust As autumn winds pass o’er, The resignation rumor’s just As verdant as before. She Suspected a Snare. she said, “I am opposed to the blanket ballot. Ft is an insidious invention of the enemy to keep us from exercising equal rights umhindered.” “What do you mean?" asked her sister in ambition. “In order to vote we will have to mark these ballots.” “Yes.' “Tell me one thing. Who is to sharpen these lead pencils?" Her Stratagem. “What is the matter?” asked one of Mr. Vivvies’ boon companions; “you haven’t taken the pledge, have you?” “No. But I’m not looking on the wine when it's red in the cup, just the same.” “Reformed, have you?” “Yep. You've heard of a woman's mar- rying a man with the idea of getting hin to stop drinking. It doesn’t always worl but it did in my case. My wife Is a stupen- dously clever woman.” “Made you promise, did she?’ “She didn’t have to. When I started down town tonight she said: latch-key, dear, but it won’t make any dif- ference. You ring the bell and I'll let you in.’ I sald, ‘All right.’ ‘Only,’ she said, ‘we'd better agree on some password, so that wher you ring I can look out of the window and make sure it isn’t a burglar.’ ‘Of course,’ said I; ‘what'll the password be? ‘I have it,’ she answered; ‘it mustn't be too simple. You just say “irrepressible reprehensibility” and then I'll come down and let you in.’ Gentlemen, if I can’t say irrepressible reprehenstbility when I get home I don’t get in, and, moreover, I as- sume the chances of being taken for a housebreaker. I've simply got to be care- ful” And he went over and resolutely seated himself next to the ice-water tank. Indian S mer.

White, the advertising specialist, who is to be found at No. 221 West Bancroft street, Toledo, Ohio, asserts that in his case dyspepsia was an inheritance. He obtained his first supply of Ripans Tabules by remitting 50 cents to Lerd, Owen & Co., the wholesale druggists of Chicago, because he could not find them in Toledo. Now the druggists there have them—always have them. Mr. White asserts that he carries one of the little vials with him, and if he has that distressed feeling after a hearty meal, or a headache, he takes a Tabule. His wife also uses them, and, writes Mr. White, “If my boy feels sick, he asks for one.” Ripans Tabules are eold by druggists, or by maf If the price (G0 rents # box) is sent to fhe ea Chemical Company, 0 Spruce st., Ne Sample vial, 10 cents. 0005 09000000000 00000000 (Lewis Box ‘COUCHES We make a specialty of these cele- brated Couches.
