There may be nothing iii the civil service act to

as Henry Irving and Ellen Terry. anxious to
test her claims to comfort and elegance. he

and moulded depth, 80 feet. She Is built en-
tirely of steel, and her great beam naturally
gives her much stability, which enables her to
carry an enormous spread Of sail, and she looks
more like large sailing vessel than q steamer.
She has eleven water-tight bulkheads, which
enable her to float and be quite safe with any

why Are We Thus Honorcd,


1t seems strange and unaccountabIe TO the
employees on the new Pension building that
they are compelled to work ten hours for a
days work when every other work being done
by the government, In or outside of the District.
is based on the eight-hour principle. We
receive no more for ten hours than the others
receive for eight. We. the mechanics and
laborers, believe the eight-hour law passed by
Congress TO be the law. 1t seems. however. to
De very peculiar law. as 1t can be applied or
ignored TO suit the convenience of those in
power. IL Is now being enforced all over the
country-not because those I'm power wish to
curry favor with the laboring classes. OF course
not, nor because they would like to be elected
or reelected to Office. Oh, no. away with such
a thought II is simply that the workingman
may oe oenehted.-and that is what we want,
the benefit OF this law while II ia alive. We
expect 1t to die again soon after the elections
are over. We ask only for what is right, and
We want nothing more than JUSTICE.

Where the Railroads. Should Co.

To the Editor OF HE EVENING STAR:
In considering the various proposed routes for
the two railroads and the location Of the depots.
1t should be one of the conditions to remove the
b. and o. from the northeast section of the city,
which has been greatly damaged by 1t, as well as
to restrict them In passing and locating in the
southern section. To turn the B. and O. rail-
road down the east side Of the Eastern Branch.
as proposed in the Morrill, plan, would be a
rather heavy exaction. Why not turn il down
the valley northeast Of Mt. Oliyet cemetery to
and along the Eastern Branch to q point ada
cent to the b. and p. road and enter the CITY
through separate tunnel parallel and adjacent
to the b. and P. road? The Metropolitan
Branch could be connected with the main road
at the point where 1t turns into the valley, and
at this point. II desirable, depot could be
located for the transfer Of western passengers
Both roads teing adjacent at the west end Of
the tunnels. they should be required to purchase
the entire blocks between X and l. streets south.
from the tunnels to the east side of Water street
and along the east and north sides OF Water
street to the Long bridge; the entire distance to
be an elevated road. And for the location Of q
union or separate but adjacent depots, the pur-
chase OF squares 64S and 695 west of Cos,
northwest Of 695 500, 697 and 73S, should be
made. This location would be sufficiently CEN
tral the space ample, and the proposed location
OF the roads would be less damaging to the city
or private property than any other of the pro-
posed localities, and there is reason for now
placing them where they in future will not seri-
ousiy interfere with the growth and prosperity
Of our beautiful city. The railroads. If they
want privileges should be willing to pay for
them. The property necessary for the proposed
location and route Is very little improved, and
can no doubt be purchased at low figure. E.

THE AMERICAN CLIMATOLOGICAL
ASSOCIATION.
Interesting Prsceedingx i'm Washing.

The first annual session Of this association
was concluded Monday evening The afternoon
was mainly devoted to the reading and discus
sion OF paper on Dryness read by Dr. c. Deni-
son, Of Denver. The author took the side of
variability as against equability because, as was
shown. the former always goes with dryness and
the latter with moisture In evidence of this the
the doctor presented rule for classifying all
climates according to the data as given by the
signal service. This classification is based upon
a rating table which represents the average or
mean of climate for the whole United States
In this table the rating number. for each degree
of temperature Is the combined mean of rea-
tive humidity and elOudiness per cent. and abso-
lutte humidity in tenths Of grain Of vapor to
the cubic foot OF air. A third of the combined
records OF any place, when compared with the
table, gives the relation of each climate to the
mean for the United States. Thus all the sig
nal service stations were studied by seasons aud
graphically Illustrated on four maps:the moist
places being colored In four shades of blue ac-
cordng to the degree Of moisture, and the dry
places in four shades of red. The four charts
will be published in one large map for the use
Of physicians.
Climate was divided into four equal
divisions, viz. extreme dryness, moderate
dryneSs. moderate moisture and extreme mois-
ture. The discovery Of the rule for rating all
climates on q uniform basis. and its ingenious
illustration, ELECTED hearty commentator from
the members of the association. The method
sheds new light on the subject OF climatology,
brings out the peculiarties of localities in strik-
ing manner, shows the wonderful climatic re-
sources as to moisture and dryness in our own
country, and furnishes q basis for definite re-
search In regard to the effect of climate In dis
ease. Interesting papers were also read by Dr.
Donaldson, Of Baltimore, on "City Air and City
Life Injurious to Consumptives," and by Dr. j
s. Cohen on "The use OF Compressed and Rari.
fed Air as a substitute for change of Climate in
the Treatment of Pulmonary Diseases"
