Judge Hurt decided against the

perform for the delectat of the little
ones Of Washington on this glad occasion.
There is suspicion in the minds of many
people that the President does not care to
encourage this custom, and is thus trying
to cause it to fall into an ''innocuous desue-
tude." He may be misjudged. and may be
merely trying. to prevent the festival OF
former years from degenerating into riot.
That result however, is hardly possible.
But the President cannot hope to wholly
eradicate the custom of Easter-egg rolling.
Whatever the conditions. wherever the
event may take place. and under what
auspices, there will always be this annual
outpouring Of the children with their gaily-
colored eggs. eager for frolic on the grass

years standing. and another, quite another.

In the death of James W. Scott editor
and principal proprietor Of the Chicago
Times-Herald and Of the Chicago Evening
Post. which occurred in New York yester-
day, a distinct and serious loss has been
sustained. not alone by his immediate fam
lily and the city of his adoption. but by a
wide circle of devoted friends in every
portion of the Union. by the profession of
Journalism. and the country at large. To
most charming personality were Joined
in unusual degree far-seeing and lib
eral enterprise. an energetic public spirit,
lefty conceptions of duty, and broad pa
triotism. These qualities had already made
him power in the country, and would
have made him. had his life been spared,
still more conspicuous figure in public
affairs. AS it is. his useful influence will
long be felt in many ways, and the world
is largely the better for the short time he
was permitted to live in it. This is no
small praise to be said of any man, but it
can be truly said CT Mr.. Scott.

Egg-rolling in the White House grounds
on Easter Monday has become one
of the historical customs of the capital
city 1t Is, in a sense. a national festival:
somewhat altered. 1t may be, from its
original form yet marked with unique .fea-
lures and altogether worthy of continu-
ance and encouragement. 1t is the Chill
dren's Day. They flock in great numbers
to the grounds, with baskets of eggs on
their arms. guarded by parents and nurses
elder brothers and sisters, or adult neigh
bors, eager for a romp on the turf There
was a time when their hearts were glad
dened by the music of a band during the
middle of the day. and that made the &C.
casion enjoyable to the children of all ages
But now there Is a change. President
Cleveland, who has never seemed to enjoy
the Easter Monday festival held in his back
yard. has on several occasions declined to
contribute to the entertainment of the little
folks by ordering one of the government
bands to duty in the grounds, and so has
taken away a great part of the pleasure
of the day. This year he has also refused
or neglected to attend to this detail, and so
the frolic Of 1895 is without the strains of
music. except such as is furnished by the
peripatetic piano-organ grinders who have
been attracted to the spot by the hope Of

Oh, let US linger, April fools,
The world is in its hey-day.
And gentle Expectation rules
With promise of a May day.
A blissful folly's better far
Than wisdom, which but saddens,
'Twere well to idle where we are,
Where every moment gladdens.
The sun will scar the meadow cool.
Where flowers their sweets are shedding
And parch the limpid wildwood pool,
Where tangled shades are spreading.
Most fragile ever was the bloom
Whose beauty shone the rarest,
And swift Is disappointment's doom,
For joys which seem the fafrest.
Too well we know the blight will fall.
The tender guests We cherish
Would leave, had we not known them al
No heart-pain when they perish.
Yet, April fools pray let us be.
And grasp the Aeeting gay day,
Nor whisper that futurity
Will e'er be aught but May day.

No Star Chamber Business.


The action of the Board of District Com
missioners in ordering the proceedings to
be kept from the public only Increases the
determination of the public to work a
change In the system of government that
permits such things. These three gentle
men who arrogate to themselves the power
to inaugurate a star-chamber administra-
ton of District officers, seem to have
lost sight Of the fact that they are the
servants and not the bosses of the people.
Their appointment comes. too, from the
hands of the servant and not from the po-
litical boss of the people. and in that light
and for that reason, much less do they
have any excuse for keeping their proceed
ings away from the public eye. There is
nothing under heaven in the line of duty
to be performed by the trio of District
officers which requires any sort of privacy.
and every act performed by them with
closed doors only serves to excite suspicion
that they are doing something that the
public interest does not demand. Come out
boldly and openly and show your hands,
gentlemen, lest the people think you are
doing something you are ashamed Of.

The times are hard with the violators of
law in Washington. Some obstacles are
even being placed in the path of those who
sell liquor without license. The work of
the police yesterday In breaking up
several "speak-easies'' was a part of
the excellent program which has been
inaugurated and which should be persist
emily and impartially followed. The I'M
licensed har encourages secret drunken
ness and debauches, spreads disrespect for
the law, and enables liquor dealers to pros
per without paying their just 1.-THE to the
revenues of the city. The police are to be
encouraged in their work against these

A very valuable human privilege is the
right of free inquiry into matters that
deeply concern us. and this privilege has
always been literally exercised in the
United States. 1t may therefore be as
sumed that there is no improperly In ask
Ing to the whereabouts of the safety
tenders which, according to the order of
the District Commissioners, should have
been on all mechanically propelled street
cars in the District fifteen days ago. Such
inquisitiveness is of the pardonable sort,
ana is really entitled to reply. Satisfied,
however. that no matter where these fem
ders may be, they are not attached to the
cars, The Star would follow the logical con-
tinuation of the question and ask where is
the regulation which made the use of fen
ders compulsory by April 1. Is it sus-
pended or not? Can the Commissioners sus-
pend it after ii has once become operative?
II II has been suspended, is the suspension
temporary or permanent, and when did the
Commissioners reach a conclusion that sus-
pension was proper? The statute under
which the regulation in question was
framed and promulgated clothed the Com
missioners with certain powers in this mat
ter. and under that authority the Commits
sioners prescribed certain penalties to be
assessed in case the regulation should be
violated. To the general public it would
appear as though there had been gross
violation, but up to this time there does
not appear to have been any collection of
the fines that are certainly several days
overdue. Are the penalties to be collected
or not? Are we to have tenders or not?

LORD SHOLTO'S TROUBLES.
a Threat to Shoot His Wife Did not Have
Any Effect.


Any Effect.
San Francisco, November 13.-An
Examiner Los Angeles special says:
Lord SholtO Douglass last evening
threatened to take the life of his wife.
In the corridor of the Ardimour, at
Sixth and Broadway, in highly pitched
tones and while labOring under great
anger. he informed Lady Douglass that
if she entered her mothers rooms he
would shoot her. Lady Dougless was
cool and collected while all this loud
talk was being made, and did exactly
what he told her not to do. She went
to her mothers room and talked with
her. Lord Douglass did not shoot her,
nor did he make any attempt to.
At the usual hour Lady Douglass ap-
peared at the stage door of the Burbank
Theatre. but Lord ShOlto was not with
her. She was accompanied by her
mother. The stage door-keeper admit
ted both ladies'. Shortly after Lord
Sbolto turned up. As soon as he heard
where Mrs. Mooney was, he became
greatly enraged. He was told to go and
invite her to leave. He did so. Mrs.
Mooney said it was all right, and that
she would stay. Manager FTawley then
said that Mrs. Mooney must leave the
dressing room. This was too much:
LADY Douglass was loyal to her filial
affection. Drawing herself up to her
full height. she said with great dra-
matte power that where her mother
conld not stay. she would not Then
LADY Douglass withdrew to her dressing
room. packed up her belongings with
the aid of her mother, and left the
theatre. Lord Sholto, who had, during
the interval, been prancing around be-
hind the scenes, tailed behind. When
LADY Douglass arrived at the hotel, his
Iordship went in after her, and then he
made the threat to shoot her, but he
evidently reconsidered mis- words. Hos
tilities ceased for the while, but they
were resumed to-day.
