Miss Bloomingdale is once more in
her place. Her work suffered no loss
in her absence, thanks to the excellent
care OF our county superintendent.
On Lincoln's birthday, occurred the
unwilling of a fine portrait of our
martyred president. The picture be-
comes the property of the preparatory
room.
The walls of the high school now
bear the kindly portraits of Holmes
and Whittier, looking out from frames
of beautiful native oak The large at
tendance, at our declamatory contest,
rendered these decorations possible.
The boys literary society will give
valentine sociahle at Mr.. Caley's, next

The results of the last State examin-
alton were very gratifying. Ethel
Tlbbetts, Louise Emard, Inez Cutler
and Eliza La More received promotion
into the high school, and many others
in the preparatory room, finished part
OF their preliminary studies, enabling
them to take some high school work.

Du Maurier's book, s.Trilbv''. has
been admitted to the list in the public
libraries of Philadelphia. The Sunday
Tribune of MINNEAPOLIS, closes an
analysis of the book in the following
terse language: ''Purists in art have
objected to the faulty drawings; purists
in style, to the slang and phonetic
spelling. The slangy French Of the
Latin Quarter, as used by. Trilby, has
been voted bad enough, and yet classic
when compared with the Anglo-French
of Taffy and his two British friends.
and the horrible German Gallicisms OF
Svengali, which are as unintelligible
as Choctaw. We cannot think that the
Philadelphia school committee has de-
cided wisely. Despite its hybrid slang,
its morality of the Latin Quarter and
it's hideous travesties of the beautiful
French language, :Trilby' is not a
book calculated to do the mature,
sensible, well-governed novel reader
any harm. But to place such book
in the hands of inexperienced school
boys and girls is quite different mat

Local papers are frequently accused
OF partiality-0f being more generous
with its comments upon the doings of
some men, families or firms than of
others. Usually this charge is unfair
and unjust and the blame should rest
with the people and not with the editor.
A local reporter can not be omnipres-
ent, nor can he know everything. Those
people who appreciate these two self
evident facts and who take pains to let
the editor know of the goings-on in
which they have a part, are sure to re-
ceive their full share of the papers

sarily neglected. Norris Tribune

Failure to unseat the Alexandria county
officials who were alleged to have been
elected by Illegal methods leaves Alex
andr.a county affairs in a very unsatis-
factory condition yet one that must be
borne until, at the next election. the peo-
pie of the county have an opportunity to
express their Judgment as tc whether their
law officers have or have not exerted them
selves to defeat the purposes of the stat
utes which they have sworn to uphold. The
condition hoTSver is considerably better
than It was prior to the election. Sheriff
Palmer is marked Improvement upon his
predecessor and will no doubt close out the

will probably proceed against the foreign

courage them completely away from the

Virginia legislature strenuous effort will be
made by reputable Virginlans, assisted by
their friends in the District of Columbia

The capitalists of the country are ap-
parently awakening to the fact that some
thing must soon be done with the water
power that Is going to waste so ineXcus-
ably in all parts of the continent, and it
Is not surprising to find instances of the
utilization Of the American rivers, to turn
the armatures of the dynamos and the
spindles of the factories, coming to
light every few weeks. The latest case
in which the force of a stream has been

derful achievements are hoped for from
the tremendous power at the Falls, the
greatest source of natural energy in the
country, and probably in the world. Here
In Washington the case is much more
simple, as far as the distance from the
city to the source of power is concerned.
Great Falls Is but eighteen miles away, and
the smaller cascades are less than half
that distance from what would probably
be the sites Of factories If such q power
could be produced and distributed cheaply.
There are some difficulties to be overcome
here that have not interfered with the

1t is now the duty CT every citizen to
carefully economize the water supply Of
the city. as emergency has unexpectedly
arisen that practically puts limit on the
amount Of water available for distribution
fo- tie next forty-eight hours at least. 1t
Is expected that the equilibrium between
the Dalecarlia and the distributing reser-
voirs will be restored within two days, but
meanwhile 1t Is best for all the peo-
pie to realize that there may be
delays in the process and that their
sole supply of water Is that which is
now contained in the distributing reservoir
This Is unfortunately the season when
water is most lavisbly used. and it will of
course be a hardship on all to economize
Yet 1t is absolutely es sentis1 that care
should be exercised during the coming
hours in the use of water for all purposes
There Is this consola ticn that the emer-
gepcy once safely passed. such contingency
will hardly agrin arise for long time, as
the receiving reservoir at Dalecarlia will
now be added to the citys system
OF supply and distribution, and in
event of trouble m the future the great
capacity of this basin will be added to that
Of the distributing reservoir. so that in
case there is sudden stoppage of the sup
ply from the conduit the city will be pro-
vided with at least twice the quantity Of
water that Is now available for immediate
use.

Secretary Carlisle has reasonably decided
that bulls are not Immoral instruments
and can not therefore be kept out of the
country when someone seeks to import
them for fighting purposes, and that the
bull-hghters themselves can not be eX-
cluded under the alien contract-labor law
There Is. however no real local ointment in
favor of the fights. There is good deal of
sport in the average American 1t shows
itself In the patronage bestowed upon all
manner of games that are exhibitions of
skill and endurance, and upon fights be-
tween wel-matcned specimens of the HUI
man race But the unequal unsportsman-
like exhibition of brutality known as bull
fight has never found favor in this climate
These disgusting spectaclss are not typical
of the south, old or new. They can not be re-
garded as characteristic of the people of
the land. They are foreign. in the very
grain and essence of their theory ard prac
tice. If the Exposition is to be representa-
tive of the civilization of the south no worse
spectacle could be enc sen. II the fights
are to be simply permitted as means of
en- tertanment it is doubtful whether they
will be popular. In Spain the people flock
by the thousand to the bul-ring because
from childhood they have been trained to
embowelling a number of wretched. trem-
bling, blindfolded horses, unable TO run
away or resist. and of exhausted bull
Slain by a sword-stroke. Travellers IN
Spain visit the bull-ignt as a characters
tic sight of the country. and as such with
its multitude of Spanish spectators, men
and women, old and young. they find it
interesting. But when the Spanish atmos-
phere and surroundings are removed and
all that is left is the brutal slaughter of
helpless blndfolded horses and tired
out bull. the main effect upon the average
American observer Will be to make him
sick at the stomach. The agility of the
bandilleros, who on foot thrust sharp
barbed darts into the bull and dodge his
rushes. and the skill of the matador who in
hicts with sword the death stroke, will
continue to excite admiration, but to suit
American tastes the horses of the picadores
must be permitted to see the approaca ching
bull and to have chance for their lives. If
a party of cowboys. with lassoes and re-
volvers, and mounted en- trained horses,
were substituted for the picadores, an ex-
hibition of craftsmanship under exciting
and dangerous conditions would be given
that would have decided attractions. But
the spectacle Of a plcadore forcing his
shrinking. blinded horse s!dewfse toward
the bull. in order that the animal may be
the more conveniently ripped up, and of
the gored horse lettering about the arena
with bleeding entraiis protruding, is enough
to make every man of US member of the

California, but they are surely not of a
character to deter energetic, brainy men
from pushing to completion an enterprise
that has such great future. The gov
eminent should years ago have taken def
mite steps towards the utilization of the
power either at Great or Little Falls. or
both. and it Is a. somewhat melancholy
spectacle to behold this vast possibility
slipping past the city every hour. Wash
ington should today be enjoying all the
power that it needs from these cataracts
1t is regarded as probably true that one
OF tine motives for the location Of the ma
tonal capital at this point was it's prox-
unity to what the advocates of the site
realized would eventually prove a val
liable source of power supply. Modern in
vention has since then more than covered
the gap between the possible and the ap-
parently impossible. and there is today no
mechanical obstacle in the way Of
profitable use of the river for the produc-
ton of electric currents that cannot by
the exercise of slight ingenuity be OYER
come Greater achievements by far than
that which a successful Harvesting of the
Potomac would represent have been &C
complished on every hand. If the mighty
Niagara can be subdued and made subject
to the will of man. surely the Potomac
can he tanned and made to do the work

Local street-railroad circles are disturbed
by ruInors and counter-rumors as to the
requirement of suburban facilities by the
powerful and wealthy Washington and
Georgetown Company. Similar allegations
have been made as to the METROPOLITAN
Company. but the facts have not yet been
given to the public. Whatever be the
foundation upon which the stories in cir
culation are based it must be insisted that
the trunk-line companies will blunder seri-
ously If they do not reach out after and
secure either the suburban roads already
in opera ton or rights to make such extern
sions as the public believes should be made.
Already has the extension idea taken root
in the administrative mind of the Wash
ingtor ard Georgetown Company. for that
corporation is on record as being more than
willing to run lines out 22d street and
18th street extended it has commenced
operations on its extension to the Aque-
duct Bridge. 1t is not for The Star to point
out the lines Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT which
promise much profit, but 1t is entirely
within the newspaper province to suggest
that one or other Of the two big companies
in this city should speedily get possession
of these roads which are too poor to do
business In a busness-ike way. OF these.
the Anacostia road is one-confessedly IN
able either to pay its employees living wages
or to make decent appearance - while
another is the lexington and Soldiers
Home road-the poverty of which Is as
serted TO be so great Notwithstanding the
wealth of the outside capitalists who own
most of its stock that it cannot afford to
purchase such mechanical equipment as
can legally be operated within the city
limits. Both these roads tap a country
that is thickly populat ted at night by peo-
pie who live in Washington during the day
time both would therefore be valuable
feeders. to either the Washington and
Georgetown or Metropolitan companies.
There are other suburban lines that per-
haps may be little if any less desirable
contributors to the great volume of urban
street railroad traffic; they should all be
concentrated as much as possible as to
management. for then would ensue econ
oncal operation. and, as the result of one
fare-instead as now of two or three fares
would follow suburban growth and con-
sequent increase of street railroad business.
Enterprise pays in any industry.

The old, old jealousy between the east
and west has cropped up once more in
Rochester, N. Y. A Chicago girl-an OPP
orator upon the typewriter and the rider OF
bicycle-arpeared at the office OF her EN-
ployer yesterday and was promptly dis
charged; not because she was from Chi
cago or because she lacked skill as type
writer. but because her neither limbs were
attired in Incorporating boomers. 1t
was admitted by the unsympathetic Roch-
ester employer that bloomers might be en-
tirely proper in the lakeside city. but he
declared loudly that whatever one man
could do to keep the blighting bloomer
away from Rochester would be cheerfully
done by him. Yet the probabilities are
that this same being would vote unani-
mously to compel every male blanket-wear-
ing Indian to put the Indian legs inside a
pair of government pants"

When first philosophers beheld
The forked lightning leaping,
They little dreamed what force would be
Delivered to mans keeping.
With joy they labored; but their thoughts
Would not have been SO jolly
Had they but known their patient toll
Would wind up with the trolley.
When honest Franklin flew his kite,
His neighbors' scorn but gaining
They said he didn't know enough
To go in when twas raining
There never came to him the thought,
So rife with melancholy,
That in the after years his work
Would wind up in the trolley.

for any charitable organization
now in existence in the islands,
