There is published in the city of New

bia, s. c. This newly-born claim is rather
surprising When the now famous cruiser
was planned, Secretary Tracy intimated
that he would honor the national capital
by associating it closely with the new navy.
and would honor this, the feetest of the
worlds great ships, by naming it after the
District OF Columbia. 1t is very unkind of

John Boyd Thacher. chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee on awards of the World 8
Columbian Exposition, will, before he COM
pletes his awarding task, be thoroughly
convinced that man is born to trouble as
the sparks fly upward" Mr.. Thatcher. who
has many estimable qualities. has been up
to his chin in hot water Of the metaphorical
sort for several months past and his suf-
ferings are about to increase woefully.
Ninety thousand exhibitors were represent
ed at the fair and 1t was announced some
time ago that 10000 medals would be
awarded. Now Mr.. Thacher comes to the
front and says that there will be but $4,000
medals. For this reduction two reasons are
given. The first is lack Of funds and the
second Is the undoubted fact that no value
Is being attached to the medals because
they have been promised to SO many. The
Star, some time ago, expressed the opin-
lon that the awarding of equal-value med
ais to score Of exhibitors in one line of
manufacture would be unsatisfactory and
must cause strife. Since then the sound
ness of the position held not only by The
star, but by nearly all the newspapers
participating in the discussion, has been
surely made evident.
Half a dozen brewers are now claiming
supremacy for their respective products.
because they all have been awarded medals
that are precisely alike. To be sure there
are differences in the diplomas that accom-
panied the medals but the diplomas do not
seem to be cutting any conspicuous figure
In the advertising. A correspondent who
thought The Star had been illtreating MIR.
Thacher in the matter Of awards, calls at
tention to the legislation which provided for
bronze medals and diplomas of uniform de-
sign and in his letter says that the par
ticular merits Of each exhibit being proper
ly described by a jury of experts, and that
description appearing In the diploma of
award, it Is evident that there will be a
much wider difference in the value of the
awards, when their terms are announced.
than there would be in the giving of few
graded medals to invite the corrupt prac-
tces which have heretofore prevailed in the
unseemly scramble for exposition honors"
This argument approaches the incompre-
hensible. If there have been corrupt p-ac-
tees as to medals in other expositions WHY
may not similar evil influences be operated
as to the Columbian diplomas? If the
1urfes of experts in the various departments
Were honest in the matter Of diplomas land
everyone suposes they were scrupulously sol
why could they not have been lust as hon.
est In the distribution of medals that would
mean something. that would give superior
ity the eminence II deserves and put me-
diocrity out of sight? Now the best and the
comparatively Indifferent are on even terms
so far as the general public is concerend.
For this Mr.. Thacher may not be In any
sense responsible but many people will
hold him responsible. He courted criticism,
and disregarded good advice. He will
doubtless be used as a scapegoat

In spite of the great abundance of school
privileges and the widespread disseminated
OF truth. the fool and his money continue to
part company just they used to do in
those long bygone days when money, or
something that, as a medium of exchange
was just as good, first came into exist
cree. Occasionally 1t is possible to SYM
pathise with one of the sufferers but 1t is
waste Of sentiment to even feel sorry for
the fool who loses his money in an en-
deavor to acquire wealth after such an i'm
possible fashion as that which is held out
as bait by such fraudulent insurance COM
panies as one that has just fallen under
the ban in Pennsylvania. The state in
surance commissioner has completed
searching investigation into the business
of what has been known as the Order of
Solon. After stigmatizing the order as
fraud Of the first water, the commissioner
makes plain the whole scheme. He says
tEat the society was organized in 1883,
that it contracted with it's members to pay
them so a week sick benefits. $500 in case
of total disability, and $1,000 at the end of
seven years, less the amount paid out for
sick benefits and disability claims-all for
$50 per month, or a total sum of $40 for
the entire endowment period. Ten thous-
n.

In four and a half years the poor dupes
Paid into the treasury S5S5,2I.52. The net
available assets amount to $144,549 and
that sum is all that remains of the nearly
$4,000 collected from the ten thousand and
odd weak minded beings who allowed them
selves to imagine that a slowly deposited
capital of $40 could earn for itself $50
within the space of seven years. OF course
the rascals who put up and operated this
confidence game deserve punishment, but
there should be no shedding of tears over
the losses sustained by the so-called VIC
tins. If these latter had not Joined the
Order of Scion, they would doubtless have
invested either in silver bricks or green
goods.

It Is generally admitted that there is no
occupation more dangerous than that of
those VINO go down to the sea IN ships
and human ingenuity has ever since the
early days of navigation exerted itself to
nunify the perils which threaten those who
spend the greater proportion of their days
on the ocean. Double bulls, watertight
compartments, unsuitable life boats and a
thousand minor devices testify to mans
interest in preserving the life of his fellow
man, and day after day does evidence &C
cumulate to show how useful many OF
these inventions are. But now appears a
theorist who desires to undo about all the
good that has been acco-nplis he'd: his in
strument Of destruction is the trolley wire
and the dangers he proposes to introduce
are entirely new. The Boston Courier seems
TO be impressed with the idea that the
steamer OF the future will be operated
on trolley plan by means of a subma-
rfne cable. The advantages of this plan"
says the Courier. would be great, as It
would prevent the necessity of carrying
immense quantities of fuel and of keeping
the vessel loaded down with enormous en-
gines. All he delay and difficulty and ex-
pence OF managing furnaces and engines
on board ship would be done away with by
the oceanic trolley system. and the ships
could be made SO much lighter that they
could go whizzing across the ocean in a
Couple Of days. There can be no
question that the proper means of crossing
the Atlantic quickly is by some system
which will allow the motive power to be
applied from the shore. either by a trolley
or q cable. The limit OF speed for ships
that carry engines and fuel is certainly
practically reached on the surface. and
there are difficulties n the way of subma-
rne navigation which 1t would be hard to

conquer. The trolley system is capable
of great extension, and we may yet live to
get to Europe by its means"
But suppose the trolley-wire should break
AS It undoubtedly would-what then? How
would the engineless ship be controlled?
And II cable could be made that would
Withstand the strain of a winters gale. how
could 1t be charged with sufficient electrici-
ty to make 1t effective? And what a horri-
BILE thing 1t would be should head-wind
drive a trolley ship backward until 1t col
lided with the next following vessel! The
block" system would be absolutely neces-
sary to satisfactory operation. but there
seems to be at least one obstacle to the
establishment and maintenance of signal
stations in mid-Atlantic. If the Courier
will only rig up such an apparatus as the
one 1t so vaguely outlines. and then put
on board the first of its boats the various
trolley syndicates and their hirelings, The
Star will contribute a reasonable sum to-
ward the expenses and will send a rep
resentative to the starting point to wish
the trolley-lovers bon voyage"

Thoughtful men of the negro race are now

Thoughtful men OF the negro race are now
discussing what Is commonly called the
negro problem in a manner that gives more
hope for the future than anything that has
occurred in the history OF the American
negro since emancipation. The sentiment
which seems to be gaining ground gives
promise of a second emancipation that will
free the negro from the chains put upon
hin, by false notions Of life. delnsive dreams
and errors of nl-advised educational
schemes. To the current discussion no more
forcible and important contribution has
been made than the Thanksgiving day ac-
dress delivered by Prof. Hugh NJ. Brown
At the Lincoln Memorial Church. an alb
stract Of which was printed In yesterdays
Star. He told truths which might have
been offensive II they had fallen from tine
lips OF q man not OF the negro race. The
negro. as Prof. Brown showed, has his
future IN his own hands. No people was
ever made strong and great except by it's
own efforts. Many mistakes have been
made In the past by the negro himself and
by those who have sought to befriend him.
Now the pathway to an equal place in the
world with those OF other races has been
pointed out, and 1t remains only for some
practical colored men and women to lead
the way.
II the negro Is to become valuable as a
citizen. and he must be that before he can
mjoy In its fullness the equality 50 much
prated about, he must begin his work from
the ground up. He must seek those avenues
OF employment in which he is needed and
In which he can be of most service to the
community. and he must strive to make him.
self the master Of such callings. When he
has become master of one others will open
to him 1t Is unfortunate that the negro's
ambition has been directed largely to COM
peting with the whites in the professions
and in enployments that should IN the
course of natural development become
theirs only after they had mastered those
pursuits in which hand and brain are equal
ly engaged The situation is very much as
1t would have been IL the first settlers Of
America had insisted on devoting them
selves to professional life instead of turning
to the ak and pillow. Scientific Industrial
training may work out the problem and
work II out within a generation or two, SO
the negro will no longer be considered as a
nobody. to quote Prof. Brown, but will take
his place as q valued member Of society.
With progress achieved in this way it is
probable that race prejudice and all its at
tendant evils would disappear.

A STORY Foe CHILDREN.
ALL ABOUT SAINT NICHOLAS AND SANTA
CLAUS.


Boys and girls should know that st. Nicholas and
santa Claus are really one. st. Nicholas lived in
the year 800 and IL said to have been the bishop
OF Myra. So good was he that children were taught
to love him.
Santa Claus, or Klaus, is really the Dutch name
names.
Over one thousand years ago the good saint IL
said to have supplied three poor maidens with mar
rage portions by secretly leaving money at their
window. and as this took place just before Christ
mas all the children in Flanders and Holland put
out their stockings Christmas eve in the hope that
Santa Klaus, or Krecht Globes as they called him.
would put in present before the morning, and
this custom has been observed for 300 years.
The dear old saint looking just like he did 90
many years ago, may be on Monday at the
new Palais Royal corner of G and 18th SITS.
house has been built for him in the great show
window and you may see him at work making the
dolls and toys that you will find in your stockings
on Christmas morning. To the rear Of the house
you will see the saints garden, where his pet ami
mails will be playing. And you may observe that
when he leaves his house by the front door
he has only to walk a short distance to his store
room, which is In another large window, and where
you can see thousands Of books, toys and games.
Bicycles and what not for boys and thing girls
like best.
In another window is a view of a windmill in mo-
tion and real water In the stream that runs under
the bridge close by.
When you visit the store be sure to go to the
basement floor, where you and handle and
be told all about the toys and games. And girls
must not fail to visit the doll department. Easy
to find because you will many of them climb
ing the two long ladders that reach from the first
to the second floor, where is the main army Of
dolls-an army larger than ever gathered before in
one store in Washington. But there is no end to
the surprises in store for you Monday. You will
learn more in half hours visit than could be told
