THE “EVENING STAR ha: a regular d@ permanent Family Circalation much more than the cembined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies.

It is slow work, this persuading the steam railroad companies that it is the humanely- proper and busivesslike thing to abolish grade crossings within the-city. Unofficial- ly and withcut any apparent enthusiasm representatives of the great corporations admit the desirability of elevated or de- pressed tracks. gndorce in awhile they chat hopefully about the vast and expens- ive improvements they some day hope to see inavgurated and in operation. Occa- sionaily there comes a cheerful and inspir- {mg sound from the Capltol—a few words indicative of Congressional interest in the homicidal conditions which are permitted by Céngres: to exist. In the meantime lives are being sacrificed. and men and women are being crippled :hrough collision with engines and cars against which the public is insufficiently protected. At an inquest held im this city yesterday the jury censured the Baltimore and Potomac Company for running engines acress public thoroughfares without equipping the engines with suffi- cient lights on the rear-as well as the front. To this verdict the coroner added @ recommenaation for electric lights in- stead of ges lamps at grade crossings. The chances ure that had a powerfully-re- light been on the rear of engine 3 last Morday night George H. Wheel- €r would not have been killed. An electric ight might also have been a preventa- d by the grade-crossing will be for many influences are com- bining to its urban elimination, but in the interim the companies should make use of every available safeguard. The work of eievation or depression is costly and must be undertuken with reasonable deliberation -but the financial consideration is not to be advanced when human life is in the bal- ance; and it is possibig to be over-deliber- ale. If Italy's national dency toward homi- ide could only be centered upon King Menelek’s Abyssinian warriors the crafty and pugnacious African woulé soon be de- feated. Baron Garofolo discussed the sta- tistics of homicide in Italy before a Roman audience recently and threw considerable ght upon a topic which must be interest- ing alike to Italians and tovrists who may be sojourners in Italy. During 1893, said the baron, the total number of murders in as about four thousand, or one homicide every two hours.

Nowhere do the people appreciate more thoroughly the advantages of one restful day in seven and it is undoubted that if it were certain that there was complete ab- wence of all statutory provision as to the closing of stores on Sundays the conditions would not Be likely to suffer any material change. Public sentiment is ‘much more powerful than even an act of Congress, and public sentiment would speedily thake itself felt should there arise any necessity for rebuking those who had no regard for either the religious or physical demands which have made Sunday an _unquestion- able necessity. There are, of course, many thousands of people resident in the District of Columbia who are by no means regular in their at- tendance upcn the many and varied serv- ices conducted by those who toll steadily and faithfully for the betterment of them- selves and their fellow creatures, but the absentees are not to be reached by legisla- tion. If it shall be shown that a “Sunday rest” law fs essential to the maintenance of decency and order at the national capital The Star will surely be found among its advocates and supporters, but at present the community does not seem to need the application of such a stringent measure as that which has been proposed and is now being discused. 7 —__~e-+__—_ Don’t Rush to Alaska. An Alaska gold-craze is threatened, and hundreds of men are preraring to start for the placer-diggings of that most remote pos- session of the United States. That some of those venturesome ores will succeed is rea- sonably certain, and in the course of two or three years there may be several Alaska millionaires, but the great majority of the gold-seekers will have their trouble for their pains. The Star has no desire to di: courage the man who seeks to make a for- tune elther in Alaska or anywhere else, but it is only fair to warn the “‘tenderfoot” that many and serious obstacles lie in the way and that mining is nature's most attractive lottery-scheme. The Alaska summers in the vicinity of the placers are short, hot and overburdened with mosquitces and other pestiferous insects; the winters are exceedingly long and excessively cold. Food is expensive and work for would-be wage- earners is scarce. If a strong, vigorous, stout-hearted man has money enough to live upon for a year or two. while he is de- veloping Lis claims, and if he is not par- ticularly in love with civilized society, he may do a little better on Forty-mile Creek than he would in business in one of the states; he may, if fortunate or persistent, achieve great wealth. The average man, though, and the man who has -no capital and the man who would svffer from home- sickness had better remain in these lati- tudes until the hardy piorcers have amend- ed residential and business conditions in the very far northwest. ——_~+ ++ ___ During the present era of enthusiasm over home rule for Ireland and home rule tor Cuba, Washington begs to mention that she would like to have one of her.cit- icrs appointed recorder of deeds occ: storelly. —— + +__ It looks as if Corbett would have to be content for a time with fostering his repu- tation as the man who might whip the champion if the champion would give him a chance, ——__++2___ Mr. Hale is entitled to the privilege of inquiring what time the Senate will get to accomplish anything if it is proposed to verify every utterance made by its members. —_—__++s_____ Mr. McKinley is being reminded every now and then that no matter what field of use- fulness a man may select in this era he is bound to encounter a a great deal of competi- tion. —__—__+e<-_.

Mrs. Mathilda Cohn of No. 529 San Pablo avenue, Oukland, California, in an interview by Mr. H.

They done wonders for me, and I would not be without them now for any money. Two days ago I went to an evening party and ate a hearty supper at 11 p.m. I felt so well after using the first box that I thought I was cured 6f my dyspepsia, but I suffered for it, the next day. 0, how sick I was! but I took two Tabules and they brought me out of bed that same day.
