More H1ghness to BE Brought Low.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your excellent paper which always looks
out for the rights and interests Of the peo-
pie, did most excellent public service in
driving the nuisance of high-crown and
wide-brim hats out Of the theaters Of the
CITY, For this relief much thanks" to
use the language of Gentle WILL" But,
pray, do not let the good work stop there
In the interest of your readers which is
only another name for the public at large,
please bring all your guns to bear on the
abuse of high prices at the theaters, and
see If a reform cannot be brought about in
that respect. Salaries in other walks of
life are generally lower than they used to
be; rents have been reduced; there has
been a shrn cage along the whole line; In
comes are smaller than formerly, and
pretty much everybody has to study and
practice economy in one form or another.
1t costs, however, just as much to go to
the theater now as 1t did In flush times,
when money was great deal plentier than
at present, and more people had 1t TO
spend. 1t still costs a dollar and half to
occupy an orchestra chair-the same rate
If remember Alright, that prevailed during
the high-price era of war times.
And not only that, but they have the ef-
frontery to charge two dollars seat for
the variety show entertainment holding the
u w
is there, 1 should like to know, in or about
this company, or the play 1t presents, that
justifies, or even excuses an advance over
the regular rates?-which were already too
high. There isn't a star in the concern.
not member of it is entitled to more than
an ordinary salary; the company is not
very large, or expensive, and there Is moth
ing In the performance itself or in the
manner in which it is produced that calls
or should call for an unusual tax on the
public. Why, then. any advance in prices?
Other peoples salaries are reduced; why
should actors and actresses be an exception
to the rule, and why should theaters and
theater r anagers be a favored class, and
keep prices as high as formerly? Other peo-
pies business feels the pressure of hard
times, and prices are lowered accordingly.
Why shouldn't theirs be?
The reply will probably be that the hard
times have had the effect to reduce the
size of audiences, and that therefore re-
duction Of prices cannot be afforded.
The simple and conclusive answer TO this
Is that q reduction in prices will Increase
the size of the audiences. This Is au i'm
mutable lawsof trade. Not only will the re-
ceipts be increased in amount but the
actors will have the novel experience or
playing to full houses always, instead Of
To from 30 to 60 per cent of empty seats,
as is often the case. This would not only
encourage and inspire the actors. but also
increase the pleasure Of the audience.
Let one or two managers make decided
s.cut' in prices. as merchants do. and 1
venture to say that they will be both sur
prised and delighted at the result.

The Police Census.

The work Of the police census takers will
be finished In a few days. and 1t will then
be known to what extent there has been a
change In the population since 1892 The
returns of the third precinct were turned
In to Chief Clerk Sylvester Tuesday. In
this precinct the figures show an Increase
Of about 900 over the census of two years
ago. Just what the other precincts will
show IS not known. In the first precinct
the figures may fall short Of those of two
years ago. This Is in the business part CT
the city and the police found that a num-
Der Of the large lodging houses were with
out the usual number of permanent board
ers and there are also many vacant houses.

The Scale Accepted.

The protesting plate printers employed in
the bureau of engraving and printing
have decided to accept Chief Johnson's
order cutting the revenue stamp scale 10
per cent. There were about 300 men pres
ent, representing both the knights and Fed
Grafton of Labor. After discussion it was
agreed that while the reduction, in the
opinion of the men. is unjust, there is no
prospect Of relief and the committee ap-
pointed Friday night to wait on Chief John
son was discharged from further duty.

In concluding his report on this subject
Col. Elliot saws:
"Under present conditions there appears
to be no cause for apprehension respecting
the healthfulness of the Potomac water as
delivered by the river into the intake of
the auueduct at Great Falls. 1t appears
that without the use of alum, or with this
use if the alum be used in quantities not
preiudicial to health the color of the
water that exists after freshets in the Po-
tomac can only be partially removed by
filtration.

The Senate Committee VIII Recon-
mend Its ratification.
The Senate committee on foreign relations
devoted the entire time of it's meeting to-
day to the consideration Of the commercial
treaty with Japan, and at the conclusion
of the conference decided to report the

formation as to the details of the proceed
ings 1t Is understood that no opposition to

Of the committee or by any other Senator.
The agreement was read carefully section
by section and the members of the COM
mittee present commented upon the sepa-
rate provisions with the view of throwing
as much light as possible upon them for
mutual benefit.

1.-The vertical rate of fall of water in the
European system IS not allowed to exceed
a rate of about inches an hour, making
a yield of filtered water of from so to 100
gallons per square foot of filter surface.
AS has been stated, the rate of vertical fall
of the column of water above the sand in
the mechanical or American system Is 5
inches or more minute or % feet moro
an hour making a yield CT 5000 to 1900
gallons per diem of filtered water per

about ore-third of the body Of the sand,
the dow inward rate of percolation through
the sand in the European system is there
