Summer's warmth. with the accompany- ing desi srybody to set owt doors as possible wherever there is shade or other form of se: able attrac- tiveness, calls attention to the lecal lack of playgrourds—of parks in which the ildren can romp and gamboi from sun- to sunset. Washington is rich in of a certain sort—parks in which the ampled and greon, where trees and flowers flourish and add beauty of the scene, where foun- play and monuments in nze or @ their homes, where woodland combine to deligat the senses is conspicuous absence of res- rise parks grass and to tains ns there —but ervations in which the little enes may dis- port themselves their > sur, ewn innocent a playground but its seope is in toe nerrow and its location inconvenient t for those who reside in its im- inity.

There are several measures in whieh there is much popular among them the bill to amend the ington and Soldiers’ Home and Railroad Companies. This bill has been passed by the Senate, after being properly amended, and has been favorably reported upon by the House committee on the District of Columbia. In the ordinary course of events it ought to come up for consideration in the House next Monday and if the House is at all anxious to please the people of the District it will promptly make the bill a law. The} bill now pending will, if placed upon the statute books, compel modernization of plant and methods and improvement of service and will do it without injustice to any of the parties concerned. Monday is District day and the first bill to be dis- pesed of should be the Eckington and Belt Line bill. ent sources such testimony more than ordinarily interes: ing as it does from the to Hox threwirg the rot m man the republic id ii —————— Trolley Sueceeds Steam. There will soon be inaugurated the first 1 instance of the electric trolley super- eding the steam locomotive on compa tively long hauls between a city and the neighboring suburbs. This will be afforded by the electric line running to Alexandria, which will be in operation, it is stated, in a short time. There has been no question in the minds of practical railroad men for sev- eral years that in the ordinary course of de- velopment the electric motor would soon become of sufficient power and cheapness to warrant its use as a substitute for the heavier and more complicated steam loco- motive. In several cities of the north the suburban travel has of late been almost wholly carrted by this means, and the great trunk lines have been devoting their atten- tion to a rearrangement of their systems, so as to %&ke advantage of the reduced cost and greater convenience of the trolley mot The traveling public, too, living mear the great centers of habitation, obtain a benefit frem this. change, fer it becomes pessible to run trains en quicker headway and te make more frequent stops than is possible under the old-fashioned system. It is interesting, however, to note that the people of Alexandria have not secured the full advantage of the local change that many of them expected. They cheerfully granted the right of way and other priv ileges to the electric company in the belief that its establishment as a coanecting link between Aiexandria and Washington would produce a competition with the Pennsyl- Vania road, and would thus reduce fares and increase the facilities. However, it now develops—as The Star long ago announced— that the electric company is no more nor less than the Pennsylvania road, which will proceed to take off the local trains to Alexandria, placing all of that business In the hands of the electric line, which is but the suburban agent of the greater corpora- tion. Of course, competition under these circumstances Is out of the question, and the people of Alexandria, while they may have a quicker and perhaps, in time, a cheaper service, are in a certain sense de- prived of the benefits which they expected. But of course the railroad company is merely anxious to better its own condition, and it has chosen this means to take ad- vantage of electrical cheapness without losing the valuable patr@nage of the Alex- andria traffic. It is not too much to expect that in course of a short time all strictly suburban travel will be accomplished by this same means. ——+ ++__ Is Human Sacrifice Eusential. Sensible people are they who profit by the experiences of others. Philadelphia teaches us a lesson we ought to heed. Two trolley cars collided at the intersection of Frank- lin and Green streets, and there resulted severe injuries to several passengers, one of whom may die in consequence. of the damages sustained. The collision came about through a misunderstandti the motormen as to which car should take precedence at the erossing. It is remark- able that similar misunderstandings do not freauenily take place in this city. At 7th reet and Pennsylvania avenue and at h street and New York avenue the danger has been reduced to a minimum by the stationing thereat of signalmen who irect the current of street-car tratfic, but 9th and Pennsylva avenue and at at other points where the danger is quite as great as at those crossings where the sig- nabmen are stationed there tection. is no such pro- It is reascnable—in the light of past and present carelessness in this mat- ter—to suppose that there will be no in- crease in the force of signalmen until a life-saer! ing catastrophe takes place; ch will come the customary apol- activity. ——__ e+__ Chicago rejoices in two brand-new postal ears. Simply a3 cars, these would be things of beauty, for the builder's ski decorator’s art hav their attractiveness lies in the great, gold-tettered names on the des. The vehicles are named, respeccively, “Wash- ington Hesin: and “John M. Hubbard;” Mr. Hesing being Chicago's postmaster and Mr. Hubbard his assistant. Here in Wash- ington we have, as yet, but one postal car; it is a temporary affair that is being used while a car is being built in place of the one which was burned up on Fifteenth Street. We would suggest that the new car christened “James P. Wiile‘t.” If that Suggestion is adopted and the gilt letters are only made big enough, Postmaster Wil- lett would not, perhaps, change places with the Czar of Russia, not even in coronation time. ——_~+ e+. Give the Employes Both Holidays. Owing to the fact that Memorial day and Independence day fall on Saturday this year, there is a fear among the numerous employes of private firms that they will not be enabled to enjoy them because of the impertant business character of the last day of the week. It can be easily seen, by a moment's reflection, that a closing cf all stores on the Saturdays under consider- t work to the injury of thei: Proprietors or be inconvenient to the pub- c, for the simple reason that the public, s depemfted on for support, will be engaged in celebrating the great anniver- Saries and will have neither time nor incli- n for anything like busin The orks in private establishmeats should, therefore, be given the holidays of May 20 and July 4, and no one will be ihe loser. ——++-—___ Mr. Campbell of Ohio, like the gentleman and the patriot that he is, asserts that while he does not seek the democratic nom- ination he will not dodge it if it comes his way. Mr. Campbell has not always met with the rewards to which his admirers consider him entitled. But it is to be said that although there may be men who have run for office more successfully, there are few who have run oftener. In a brief trial of speed he may not come out first, as a ruls; but considered as an example of en- durance there is none to snatch the laurels from his brow. — + ___ It Is safe to believe that every man who suggests the establishment of an inde- pendent republic west of the Mississippi as a possibility considers himseif a person fully qualitied to fll some exalted position therein. ———_++—___ The statesmen who are just coming into the arena have before them a series of im- pressive warnings of the manner in whizh their present utterences may-be unexpect- edly flashed upon them in years to come. —_—_+++—___ The people in control of the ice business will now proceed to their annual task of convincing the public that those frosts last winter were only imaginary. ‘The fact that Colonel Watterson was very much shocked by the Parisian bicycle cos- tumes is another vindication for American institutions. —__--+___ Mr. Platt may find some slight consola- tion in considering the extra rewards that attach to the successfully conducted Ione hand. oO one hundred and thirty men were employed today on the new eity post-office building, say those who have charge of the job. —_—__++-____ If Mr. Cleveland should say some sharp things about Congress in a message it would be only in the nature of reciprocity. —_—__~+ +s ___ The campaign has already had the effect of directing attention to much available presidential material for 1900, ++ ___ Mr. Hanna does not propose to take any risk of punetures by running over inter- rogation points. ———~++--____ Incrense the Fire Department. From the National Building Register. The disastrous contlagration of Monday night, by which a quarter of a million dollars’ worth of property in the central business section of the city was destroyed, and in which five brave fire-fighters lost their lives and several were seriously in- jured, was a sad thing, and should prove a substantial argument with Congress to make the appropriation so often demanded for the increase of the fire department. No city in the country today has a braver or more intelligent set of workers than those that make up the local fire brigade. From the beginning it was evident to enlookers that the force of men present, and every enging, hose-cart, chemical and truck in the city were on hand, were wholly inade- quate te cope successfully with the blaze until several structures had been complete ly destroyed. THE WEEK. The wéck has been an yctive ene among democratic. voters; the democratic conven- tious of Iowa, Scuth Carolina, New Hamp- shire, Wyoming and South Dakota met, and, with the exception cf Lowa, fatled to announce a preference for any presidential candidate; New Hurepehire and South Da- kota declared for the single standard far the country’s mcney, while the others de- clared for free cofmage of silver. The Senate defcated, by 42 to 9, a proposition by Mr.-Gorman for the issue of $100,000,000 of 3 per cent trearury certificates to meet Lrospective deficiencies; this was followed by the defeat of Mr. Peffer’s proposition, by 43 to 12, for the issue of greenbacks to meei the «pprcpriations made by the forti- fications bill; the Senate, by 6 yeas to 41 Trays, defeated a motion to proceed with the consiceration of alleged election irregu- laritles in Alabama, occurring at the time Gov. Oates was elected; the Senate passed the District appropriation bill, carrying, ap- proximately, $7,300,008, and, in opposition to the House, making specific appropriations for numerous private charitable institu- tions,some of them of a sectarian character; obstruction to the bill to prohibit the issue of bonds was withdrawn and, by 34 to 20,the Senate adopted the motion of Mr. Butler, author of the bill, to preceed with it. The Supreme Court decided that state laws re- quiring railroads to have separate coaches for whites and blacks are constitutional. The WSth gencral assembly of the North- ern Presbyterian Church opened at Sara- toga, N. Y., and Rev. Dr. John L. With- row of Chicagc was elecied moderator. At the Methodist general conference, held in Cleveland, Dr. C. €. McCabe and Dr. Earl Cranston were elected bishops, The annual meeting of the Associated Press was held in Chicago, and the reports of the board of directors show- ed a steady growth in the member- ship of the great news service. Foreign. The triumphal entry of the czar and czarina into Moscow prior to the coming coronation ceremonies was one of the most brilliant pageants ever seen in Europe. The official celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday anniversary, which occurs next Sunday, took place througho tt the British empire; the queen is seveniy-seven years old. The steamer Altmore brought the news to Victoria, B. C., of the stoning of two English missionaries at ai-Chau, China, The death sentences Imposed upon the four reform leaders at Pretoria were commuted to fifteen years’ im- prisonment. The represeatusives of the British, French and Russian govern- ments at Constantinople received checks for £10,000 as Turkish indemnity — for the outrages at Jiddah in May, 189 There was a great demonstration of the people of Pretoria at the funeral of F. L. Grey, the member of the reform committee who committed suicide. The Archduke Charles Louts, eldest brother of Emperor Francis Joseph, at the age of fifty-four, and Otto Camphansen, formerly Prussian minister of finanze, died. In the District. A serious fire occ ed Monday night in the ccmmission merchants’ square, bounded by Louisiana avenue and B street, 9th and 1th streets; the Hives of five firemen were sacrificed; relief funds for the families of the deceased have been started. The ses- sions of the Supreme Council of the A. P. A. were brought to a close, and also the sev- enth annual convention of the Regular Army and Navy Union. The trial of the celebrated Holt will case was begun, ard Irvin Ford, after an exceedingly brief hear- ing, was promptly declared guilty of the murder of Elsie Kreglo. The victorious Morton Cadets, the engineer riflemen and the Mount Pleasant Field Band returned from the Savannah interstate drill, and were accorded a rousing reception, with fire- works and a military escort. The annual ccmpetitive drill of the regiment of High School Cadets was begun before a big audi- ence. A tennis tournament, under the auspices of the Sovthern Tennis Associa- tion, tor the championship of the south was begun. A successful ial trip over the recently completed road of the Washing- ton, Alexandria and Mount Vernon rail- Way was made. The Civil Service Reform Association of the District of Cohambia met in annual session. The death of Captain William L. Cash, inspector of ritle practice of the first regiment, D. C. N. G., and a well- known citizen, occurred, and the remains were interred with military honors, es SHOOTING STARS, . The Weather Prophet. After all, let’s confess that his errors are few.
