THE EVENING STAR a regular and permanent Family Circulation mueh more than the combined eir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As n News and Advertising Medium it hi » competitor. ln order to avoid delays, 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 Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. — The Out-Door Produce Market. There seems to be a general protest on the part of the patrons of the Center Mar- ket and its neighboring produce stand against the proposition of the District Com- missioners to remove the farmers who at present occupy the north side of B street between 7th and #th streets to the now un- improved ground known as the old hay market. The open-air market on B street. frequented by farmers who retail their own produce at low prices,-as-well-as by huck- s'ers whd masquerade as farmers to avoid rayment of a license, ‘s a great convenience to housekeepers and other buyers who ara thus enebied to do most of their marketing at one pince and under cover. To remove the retailing farmers to the old hay market square would compel the hundreds or thous- ands of men and women, especially the lat- ter, who now patronize the open-air stands to suffer a con-iderable inconvenience, and in winter time or in wet weather to be sub- jected to a severe discomfort. This is par- ticularly true if, as they now propose, the Commissioners should make this change be- fire fitt'ng up the hay market square with the proper means for accommodation that* it requires before it can be used with any sert of comfort by the farmers and their patrons. Regardiess of the lezal question at issue between the Commissioners and the market company, the rights of the pa- tvons of the market and of the outside stands demand that the case should not be settled harshly or too radically, but that after waiting so many mionths or years. the Commissicners should now consent to postpone this radical change for a short time—at l-ast unul they have means enough to equip the proposed site for a retail cut- door market. ~The Ware on ‘Trade. Probably no organization of business men has ever planned more work to do or has imore energetic members with which to do it thea the board of trade of the District,which held its annual meeting last night. Presi- dent Warner's address summarizing the work of the year showed that, although there was a great deal accomplished in the twelve months, there still remains a long list oF local needs to be supplied. The board has grown in a way which proves that the citizens and merchants of Washington are cenvinced that they have at last found a satisfactory means of expressing themselves and of bringing their requirements emphat- ically before Congress. The imembership rell increases from year to year as the board more and more convinces the national legis- lators of the real requirements of the Dis- trict, and the prospect today is that this use- ful body will continue to develop and to pro- Guce good results for the local welfare. The committee reports shcw that the scope of their operations and investigations is very wide Indeed. Such subjects as grade-cross- ings, the lack of a good sewer system, the need of a free public library, the extension of the streets, new bridges, and a better water supply are attacked with vigor end in- telligence. The greatest difficulty in the ‘ay of securing proper and needful legisla- for the District is the lack of apprecia- cn on the part of many members of Con- &ress of the true relations that have been imposed by law between the District and the national government, and the board can in the future, as it has in the past, do excellent service by explaining the gbligations of Con- &ress to such of the national legislators as have not served long enough to fully under- stand this matter or who have in the past for various reasons persisted in ignoring the true responsibilities of the government in this regard. oe Two Dangerous Creeks. The recent accident by which a woman lost her life in the James Creek canal by crowning points again to the great danger that exists in the unprotected condition of this open watercourse that runs through a large section of the city, which, if not as thickly populated as some other neighbor- hoods, yet deserves more consideration from those who make the appropriations than it now receives. In the northwest there is Rock Creek and in the south James Creek, both of them streams of water pol- luted by sewage and surface dralnage and exposed in such a manner that death to those living near at hand is a constant pos- sibility. The malarial influences of these streams, which are little else than open sewers, have been felt by the citizens every season until they have become weil-nigh intolerable. The dual nuisance thus created by the negligence of Congress in falling to appropriate for the Improvement of these water courses must be abated. James Creek should be covered over without delay. Pending such action by Congress the Com- missioners could probably take some steps to guard Its now unprotected banks and bridges. The recommendation of the cor- oner’s jury that lights and guard rails should be provided on the bridge where the accident occurred is a sensible one and should result in action in that direction. oe The extract from Mr. Bayard'’s Edinburg speech, published in yesterday's Star, would seem to give probability to the report that he means to reside in England after the close of his official term in London. if it was not to curry favor with his future neighbors, why did he seck to biacken the character of his countrymen?

There are certain crossings In the city that are exceptionally risky, and at these no vehicle shculd be permitted to be driven at a greater pace than a walk. In a majority of c2se3 where peie-trians are struck by car rlages or wagons, it is the result of toc much speed on the part of. the offending ve- hicle and of too exacting a requirement on the pedestrian to watch his course over a thickly populated thoroughfare where the dinger comes from several directions at ence. The burden of precaution should rest with the driver at these dangerous points but the pedestrian should b2 made to bear his share of the charge at all other places than at actual street crossings, and it ought to be made plain by regulation that the pedes- trian leaving the curb to cross the street at a place other than the intersection of two streets becomes responsible for his own safety. ——__ + = ____ Knights of Labor. It was natural that the Knights of Labor should bring their national assembly this year to Washington since they have wisely selected this city for national headquarters and have erected an office building here. ‘This organization is large in membership and the deliberations of the present assem- blage, which began its sessions today, may have important results. While the operation of its constitution makes its central repre- sentative organization a comparatively small body {t reflects the wishes of a great army of workingmen in every part of the ccuntry and the action of such an important gathering may bear directly upon the inter- ests of the laboring classes of the nation. Washington will doubtless some day enjoy the distinction of being the scene of every such gathering of this organization as its members are looking more and more to na- tional legislation and realize that to this end their best energies should be expended at the seat of government. ——_ ++ ___ Welcome Visitors. Members of a comparatively new pro- fession are meeting in Washington this vcek, and they are just as welcome as though they belonged to the oldest trade known to man. The National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers {s a modern creation, an exponent of the latest ideas of a wonder- ful science, and its members are men of in- telligence and skill. This organization has raade remarkable progress in the few years of its existence, and, though small in num- bers compared with some of the other traies unions and workingmen’s societies, it has a big future, for the tleld-of electricity has only just been opened, and the possibilities of this science are as yet unmeasured. May the electrical workers come here again ar-d may their membership roll be quadrupled on their next visit. —___+ ++ ___ As the market fs primarily for the use of the housewife, her views on the method of accommodating the farmers who come to market are entitled to great weight.

While some, even large, citfes are slow to recognize the altered conditions, and con- inue the wasteful methods of ‘a gener2- tion now past, the general tendency is to- ward a healthy change in practice and a wiser provision for the near future.

Martin of 7o2 T street n.w., Washington, D.C,, in a recent interview had with him “by Mr. H. D. Brodie of the Washington Chronicle, said: “Having suffered for many, years: with dyspepsia, indigestion and biliousness, I tried every known remedy, consulted many physicians with the hope of getting cured or even relief, but nothing seemed to relieve me. After meals I would feel as “if a ball of lead was lodged in my stomach, tired and listless, as though life was scarcely worth living. Finally I was attracted to the ad. of Ripans Tabules, and concluded to try them. After taking the first two or three I was surprised to find the relief they gave, and by the time I empted the first box I felt like a new man. I have never been without Ripans Tabules since, nor have I ever suffered since. I heartily and earnestly recommend them to any one suffering as I did.” pee ‘Tabulos are sold by druggists, or by mab ue price (50 cents a box) is sent to thi Caomickl Con ny, No. 10 Spruce st., New York. cents.
