FIN DE SIECLE FEMININITY'
Ladies Interested in Establishing
an Animal Home.
Mrs. McCreery's Bill for the Protec-
tion of Aimless Minors-wimo-
daug hsis' Annual Election.

The season is fast approaching VIXEN
the club women of Washington will dis
continue their meetings for the summer or
transfer their headquarters TO COO ler
places; but, Notwithstanding this fact, an
other woman's club has just been organ
lied, and 1t means business.
The Home for Friendless Animals is to
be established by a society of West Eud
ladies, and so enthusiastic they are in their
scheme that it can not fail to succeed.
Besides, when woman loves cat or a
dog all other cats aEe- dogs become
subject OF interest to her and are likely to
receive n very liberal share OF tenderness
and petting.
"A dog is always more faithful than
man." said Nine. de Stael. You can
tell your dog all your Secrets" said an
other famous writer, land he will never
betray you"
Whate2er the reason, ii is quite certain
that there are number of charming
women i'll Washington who are Wiling
TO spend time and money 10 prevent the
ill-treatment of dumb animals, and recog-
niZe the fact that life is a God-gift,
something man cannot give and should
not destroy except in self-defense
The entertainment TO be given on Mon
day next at 1421 X street by the ladies
interested in establishing the Animal
Home Will undoubtedly be a society sue
cess. The club has funds already in hand
for the purpose, and will begin work at
once.

Fortunately the rage for white mice that
has from time TO time broken out in epi-
demic form among the fasbionables of
other cities, has so far not made its ap-
pearance In Washington. Since there are
so many pets of other kinds from which TO
make the selection, it is to be hoped
that the white mouse craze Will never get
foothold within the District limits.

ROSues' Galleries.

Recorder Golf of New York has condemned
the practice of placing in the rogues' gallery
the portraits of men who have not yet been
convicted of crime, and he declares that he
will, as far as his power permits put a
stop 20 this unjust practice. There is nc
argument against his proposition The usual
rogues' gallery is supposed to be complete
collection of the portraits of men known to
the police and the courts as criminals. and
should never include lkenesses of men who
have merely been accused of crime or who
have acquitted themselves of such charges
Judge Goh's example might profitabIy be fol-
lowed by judicial officers in other Cities and
a general housekeeping of the criminal al
buns should follow. The French system OF
identification has been adopted in several
American cities with success and has proved
sensible improvement upon the old-fash-
Toned, cumbersome and not always reliable
gallery of photographs, which may be-
come obsolete in few weeks, so clever is
the average rogue in Disgusting his indi-
viduality

Criminally Careless Drlyers

The death of a lady bicycle rider in New
York on Saturday was caused by the driver
or heavy beer wagon turning his vehicle
Sharply to one side, without locking back
ward to see what effect his sudden and
unexpected movement might have upon any
person or vehicle that happened to be fol-
lowing directly or nearly behind him. The
result was that human life was recklessy
sacrihced by collision. unavoidable on the
part of the cyclist. This dangerous habit
Is lar too common with drivers of heavy
wagons and carts who. feeling sure that
their own vehicle will not be injured by
collision with one of less weight, care lit
tie or nothing what befalls other persons
or property as consequence of their GRIM
fnal carelcssness. Indeed. IL would often
seem that they are DESTROYS of bringing
about rather than avoiding such tests of
weight and strength, and the wonder is
that serious casualties are rot more fire.
quent than they are from this cause
Whether the warton habit can be broken
up by the enforcement of any existing, law
or regulation is perhaps doubtful, but an
occasional suit for damages with a punitive
verdict woIld tend to lessen the abuse.
And certainly the employers of these men
ought to require them to have more regard
than they generally show for the lives and
property Of other people.

The Location of the weather Bureau

The chief local interest in Secretary Nor
tons vigorous annual report centers in the
recommendation that the building now used
by the Weather Bureau should be sold, and
the proceeds added to the savings effected
from the recent annual appropriations, thus
making total fund of upward of 81 800, 900.
This, the Secretary suggests would suffice
for splendid structure for the Agricultural
Department which Is at present sadly
cramped for room. This sum should create
building that would be a fine addition to
the present architectural equipment of the
government. 1t should be large enough to
accommodate the Weather Bureau, which
ought to be established in the same building
as the central authority governing it. The
Star does not believe that it should ever be
made to take up room in the city post office
building, which the Secretary suggests as a
mt place for the bureau in the event n sale
OF its present quarters. The post-of1ice is in
the first place too uncertain quantity in
point of the time of completion to be counted
upon in devising such plan, and the Secre-
tary's scheme to lump the proceeds of the
sale with the savings of the past two years
would probably result in the erection of a
new home for the Weather Bureau much
more speedily than that to locate the Their

ing genera ton would be favored by advan-
tages which they could not possibly. obtain
under the government which now prevails.
Nor would the advantages rest altogether
with the Hawaiians. for in commercial as
well as a political sense the islands are of
great value to any nation to which they
may be attached, and most particularly to
the United States, the nearest neighbor.
The administration should have by this
time realized the fact that advocacy of
Hawaiian annexation is not violation of
the principles of Americanism, and perhaps
1t Is convinced that it's former course in
dealing with the islands has proven uni
versally unpopular. This may make Min
lister Hatch's mission easier than was that
of Minister Thurston, who. however repre-
scented quite as fully the sentiment of po-
ltical union that evidentlyprevails through
out the islands.

1t Is pretty definitely settled that the
people of Hawaii want to come into the
American union. This is evidenced by the
instructions given to Mr.. Hatch, the new
minister. before he left Honolulu, as well
as by the entire later history of the islands
These people can no longer be treated as
savages or semi-civilized beings. but must
be regarded as men of modern ideas living
under modern government who desire
political union with a great nation in the
immediate vicinity in whose company they
would be safer from assaults by European
powers. They realize that under the benef-
