The managers Of the Oregon state
fair ought 10 be convinced that theii
experiment Of holding ten.dsy fair Is
not success. One week is considered
ample time In states with four or five
times the population OF Oregon and IL
is plenty here. It Is too hard on stock
exhibitors to compell them to keep
their stock on exhibition for so long q
time as ten days especially where
premiums are as small as they are here.
The attempt 10 draw attendance to the
fair the first week by special attractions
did not win and the attendance was
small through the greater part Of the
fair, Notwithstanding the weather was
all that could be asked. A ten-day
fair might have done very we'll In the
old days when wheat was high and
money was plenty and when farmers
did little but raise wheat and could
leave their fArms for week or more
without difficulty. Under the changed
conditions the farmer can not now
afford either the time or expense Of
more than one or two days at the fair.

FLAGMEN AT CROSSINGS.

The District Commissioners have done so
much 90 deserve the thanks OF the community
by their order respecting the haIting of
trains and locomotives before crossing street
railway tracks, that 1t may now be reason
ably hoped that they Will go one step further
and insist that the street railway companies
shall put flagmen at points where their
respective tracks cross. The fact that
flagmen have been regarded as necessary
at certain points, is the best possible argu-
ment for stationing them at other points
where tie danger of collision or of some
other accident is equally great.
Such critical places are the Intersections
of tracks at Seventh street and New York
avenue, Fourteenth street and New York
avenue, and Pennsylvania avenue and Ninth
street. Especially at the last named spot
the necessity for a flaguIan is clearly ap-
parent. There is as much traffic there, if
not more, than at the Seventh street cross
ing. Even greater precaUtion would Seem
to be called for there because the Ninth
street tracks are used by the Belt Line
and Anacostia lire cars, as well as by
The same, argument adduced by Mr.. Phillips
regarding Tie necessity of flagnen at the
Virginia avenue and Four aHd-a-half street
crossing, apply in the present instance.
Danger TO life and limb turks at both places
unless they are properly guarded.
As for The expense involved, that is no
concern OF the public's. In return for the
franchises enjoyed by the street railway
companies the people have a right to so
much consideration as is Eere demanded.
Moreover, the cost would be divided be-
tween all the lines crossing at this point
and at the others referred to and no one
company, nor all of them together, for that
matter, have any cause to make complaint
or objection on that account. The Com
missioners need not feel the least delicacy
IN ordering the companies in question to
provide the flagmen.

MOB LAW.

Two recent attempts at mob violence
put into unplcasantiy bold relief the fact
that our people have not yet attained that
moral poise which permits the law TO deal
with infraetions of its power ard dignity,
no matter how severely personal feelings
may suffer by such n course. On the con-
trary, it Goes not take a great deal OF prov
ocaiicn--in some States at least-to rouse
the mob spirit into instant acticn and cnly
too frequently it W reaks its VIII upcn indi-
viGuals whose guilt is involved in Goubt,
or who are in the hands of the proper au-
thorities and presumably certain to have
their deserts meted out to them III uie
courts OF Justice.
In the Tirfin, Ohio, affair this spirit OF
the mob was especially fragrant bue IL
is q matter OF general congratuiatioh that
the State put forth what power was nee
essary to uphold law and orGer and taught
the mob a lesson it is not likely TO forget.
Sad as it may be that human lie had 10
be sacrificed to do this, 1t Is miinl'eis
better to have done SO than TO nave SHOWN
q vacilla,ing or tenlporiziDg disposition
which would not oDly have encouraged
the mob. but would have weakened the
force of authority in any future uprising
As it is, everything is quiet, and the SOBER
sense of the people has had time to reasser'
itself. II, as is minated, turbulence should
reappear in the event OF a judicial IN
vcstigation of the riot, the same medicine
if necessary, must be applied to cure the
complaint.
Tue people of Fairfax county, virginia
fray count themselves lucky that the law
Officers succeeded in putting the negro
wretch, Albert Hawkins, beyond the niohs
fury, and thereby prevented an act OF
violence, and upon proper reflection they
will feel duly thankful.
Mob violence is the dragon tooth from
which springs whole crop of evils TO
plague Nie community; besides, 1t Is q
DISGRACE TO the State that permits 1t and
a stain upon our boasted civilization.

BOMBASTO FURIOSO.

Some of the Spanish papers in Cuba are
In a ''parious" state. They are frothing at

The Corcoran Cadets fair at the National

OF Capt. DonIer, and the Columbia Athletic
Club, who were tue guests of the occasion
The presence of three of Washington's
most popular organizations was quite suf
ncient to attract a large crowd and the
scene presented was even more brilliant
than on the opening night. The ladies IN
charge OF the various booths made The
best of the opportunity. and lost no time
IN introducing the gallant young soldiers
and club nien TO the manifold attractions
of the fair.
The fortune tent, where a readl -Tzigane"
discloses the events of the past and reveals
the mysteries of the future. was quite
literally patronized, as were the various
other booths, and it is safe to say that
the visitors only succeeded in retaining
enough cash o pay their car fare home fter
they had explored the various attractions
offered for their edIfication and amuse-
ment.
Mr.. John H. Pellen. In his German act,
entitled "PretZei as a Soldier" did much
toward entertaining the large audience,
and Prof. West In his feats of legerdeniain
helped to amuse them.
Tonight the Third Battery including the

NOXIOUS FUMES IN The GAS
Sulphuretted Hydrogen Disclosed
by the Nostrils Of Sufferers.
Analysis Indicates That the Company
Is Making Experiments, But 1t
Declines to Explain.

The presence of suIphuretted hydrogen
In the gas of the Washington Gas Light
Company on Monday night and last night
has been cause of considerable annoyance,
especially in closed rooms, where the gas
is kept burning throughout the night.
Dr.. +. T. haiIeifIuger, the druggist at
;hode Island avenue and Fourteenth street,
called the attention OF The Times to this
matter last night, and gave the reporter
u practical demonstration OF the noxiOrs
element In the gas. DR.. Haffelflnger said
hat he mad called tie attention of the
company to 10, but they would neither
acknowledge or deny the facts.

mat his cnaiiner was Tiiis-i WITH the ocor
OF the well-known disinfe Giant OF sulphurous
oxide, which, while it is used to kill germs,
will also kin the man with the germs if
ne inhaies ii too freely. He thought at
FIRST that one of the boys had dropped Il
match into the receptacle for sulphur in
tae room, but he finally traced the trouble
TO the gas itself, which was giving out
the noXIous fumes.
He discovered that 1t was sulphuretted
ydrogen ana that 1t was being given out
IN unusually large volume. The hydrogen
''''is cr'upnni,d is consumed but the residue
floats through the air in the form of
,J.s.d1Hs oxide, which affects the
mcmbrauous lining Of the throat and is
otherwise dsagreesble. Although it is

DR.. Haffeifinger demonstrated the Iurge
quantity of the gas in the coal gas by
passing the latter through solution of
copper. the result bring the immediate
formation of large flakes of the suiphide OF
copper. He also turned the gas on paper
saturated with sugar of lead. and in a few
moments the paper was black with the
suiphide OF lead. Both Of these results, he
said. would not be had If the gas was
even reasonably pure.
Several or the residents in that neigh
borhuod, he said, had suffered In the sane
way. The Times saw one of item, Mr..
NJ. Modem. at 1905 Rhode Island avenue,
and he said that he had gone through
pretty much tle same experience as that
of Or. Haffclfinger. Others were spoken
to and they said that their experiences
were very disa grecable.
In the absence NJ any explanation, which
was politely asked from the company.
there is an impression that the manufac
turers are experimenting in the manu-
faCoIre and that the consumers are getting
the benefit.

Since The Times began Publishing its

heard from the camps OF its competitors
But, 1t was only when the strongest rival

for popularity that undcrhand methods
which would not be tolerated in ordinary
business transactions, were called into use.

Reporter Friebus Disclaims Any IN

Editor Times: In view of tue fact that

regards as a reflection upon his ability and
integrity as an officer, certain statements
made by me in a report of the police court
proceedings OF the 23d instant, 1 gladly
take the opportunity to retract any such
reflections.
The story was written about three
quarters of an hour after the sehad passed
by in the regular routine, and failing to
listen atteutively 10 the testimony, the ex-
aggerations Inadvertently occurred. l
have since discovered that the boy referred
to in the arrest was ten years old and that
he was not locked UP over night. The zeal
with which the officer was described as
making the arrest was overdrawn, he hav-
ing, as 1 now learn, acted entirely under
orders.

clear Officer Joyce Of the reflections upon
his work in the line of duty that my report
intimated ard regret that have been the
