ST. LOUIS NEEDS HELP.

Gradually the distress prevailing in cy-
clonc-stricken st. Louis is impressing even
Mayor walbridge-snd perhaps also scra-
tor Vest-who from the first day of that
awful calamity have proclaimed that the
rich Western city would he able to take
care of all the sufferers, and that no ont
side contributions were desired. In these
declarations they were supported by the
two relief committees, but the city cnun.
Gil and the lower branch of the State
legislature, both have declared that
great need existed for aid, and that
the country must be appealed 10 fer assist
ance. More than 2,5oo people are h.me-
less and greatly in need of help, and so far
ouly about $3.50, 900 has iecn collected in
st. Louis, which includes the 500, 900
appropriated by the city council. It viii
be weeks before these PEOPLE can reliahi.-
tate themselves in homes of some kind and
even then they will stand in need of pc
cunary aid so as to supply their most press
ing wants.
In East ST. Louis the condition of affairs
is infinitely worse. That unfortunate town
is practically ruined, and there is no tell
ing how long its people must he supported
by outside help. Assistance is desperately
needed. Not only shelter and food and
clothing are required, but the immense quan-
titles of decaying vegetable and mineral
matter under the ruins are generating
gases and poisoning the atmosphere to 4
degree that threatens an endemic of ty-
phoid and other fcvers. The people of East
st. Louis have asked for help: those of St
Louis, although 10 official request for aid
has been made, need it just as badly So
far no great efforts have been made, out
side of Chicago and few other Western
cities, TO supply the desired relief. Further
delay would he inhumane. In every city q
movement looking TO the collection OF
funds should be started, so as 10 be n good
shape by the time ;tn urgent call is made
by the unfortunatcs of st. Louis and her
sister city.

LIGHT WHERE LIGHT Is NEEDED.


When number OF highway rohberies
were committed last winter in and near the
Capitol grounds 1t WIS pointed out that the
darkness enshrouding that locality was the
footpad's best accompiice. 1t is no less
CRAFTY ing than important. therefore. that
in few months darkness is TO he turned
into brightness, and that over the Capitol
and its surroundings light as brilliant as
day will shine through all the hours of the
night Not only this, but distant parts OF
the city viii be illuminated by the electric
glow on the dome and in the tholus of the
big building on the hill. The detailed ac-
count of the proposed arrangement, given
in this issue of the Evening Times, makes
entertaining reading, and the people of
Washington will find no fault with Con-
gress, which, though it dealt niggardiy by
them III almost every respect, has, from
a feeling of personal vanity probably more
than from any other motive, not hesitated
to improve the building in which it trans
acts it,. business, and the grounds surround
ing Il same.
The improved exterior lighting of the
Capitol building and grounds will be de-
cidedls artistic i'll its effect, and add an
other to the many attractions for the
thousands who make Washington their
winter home, or make short visits to
the seat of government 1t is well, how
ever. 10 take some account also of utili-
tarian matters, and hence it is to he hoped
that when Congress comes To frame the
mex, District appropriation bill it will
api.:nach the task in Il more amiable frame
of mind. and cause the remainder OF the
city Il be as well lighted as the section in
the Immediate vicinity of the Capitol.
Parks, streets and alleys, too, need Il much
more thorough Illumination. There ought
to be as little as possible Of shadows in
which the footpad may lurk to pounce
upon his unsuspecting victim. With its
broa,I streets, Washington ought to be the
best lighted city in the country, if not in
the world, but it is far from either. Many
cities il the United States far surpass it
in respect of street lighting, and, taken
as whole, it does not compare favorably
with cities of its size and Importance in
Europe.
The close-cropping process that has been
applied TO all District appropriations this
year has also made itself felt here. Much,
however, has been gained by the action
of Congress relating to the Capitol grounds
1t will insure greater safety to person,
and probably also to property, and Wash
ingtonians will be able to boast that there
is at least one part OF their city, and a very
important one, at that, not only perfectly
but brilliantly and artis,icaliy illuminated.

Eulosis,ic Enough to Suit.

The German en- y Tor must have been very
much amused wnen he read the speech OF
one OF the natives OF the CameToons in
proposing the health OF the kaser'' at a
recent festival. The speech follows: The
emperor is the wfsest and most pow crful
man in the world. He sees the treasures
in the middle of the earth and he has them
brought forth. He spans the world with
iron threads and as soon as he touches
them his words travel over space. He has
steamships that sail on dry land. When a
mountain stands in his way he bOres hole
through it: il river bars his progress
he builds u street in the air Though the
emperor is the richest man OF all men.
ne has only one wife, and though his
wife is the most beautiful woman on
earth he had not anything to pay for

A Striking Advertisement,

A very striking and novel form OF cleo
trical advertising is to be attempted at the
opening OF the EarlS' Court exhibition in
London A sign containing series or
luminous words formed of incandescent
lamps VIII be constructed. The letters of
the words viii be raised 30O feet from the
ground. and each letter vii; be forty feet
in height. The whole sign will cover an
area Of abolt 10000 square feet. From
tests that have been made IL is expected
that the illumined letters will be visible
on clear night at distance OF six to
eight niles, but whether they will be
iegibie SO far away remains To be seen

AN oyERwonKED oFFIcIAL.

In the general slashing the District bill
got At the h auds of the conference commit
tee the office OF the inspector of buildings
was treated more shabbily than almost
any other under the District government.
Inspector Brady had asked for three addi-
tional inspectors-he has only four now
but the House of Representatives refused
to heed his request. The Senate gave him
one inspector, but even this one eve lamb
was ruthlessly slaughtered in the confer
cnce. The unfairness of this action be-
comes apparent when it is known that
OF the four assistants Mr.. Brady now has,
one has his whole time taken up with the
inspection of elevators, SO that only three
remain to assist him in covering the
whole area of the District. The grave
responsibility that attaches to the duties
of the position is thus unreasonably in
creased, and the most serious consequences
of this Congressional delinquency would
result in case there should be sudden
reviva! of building operations.
1t is OF the utmost Importance that the
office of the inspector of buildings should
not be crippled in its operations. On the
contrary, its efficiency ought to be en-
iarged and increased by every reasonable
means. Upon the activity and circumspec-
ton of its employees depends largely the
security of buildings, and consequently
of the occupants thereof. Too many in
stances are on record OF disasters resulting
from improperly constructed cdfices which
were directly traceable TO the carelessness
of building inspectors. 1t is just as had
when, as in the present instance. the in
spector is insnfficiently provided with as
| sistants. Inspector Brady cannot he ubiqui-
/ tous. His office work almost overwhcims
| him, and either it must suffer or he can
| not give that attention to the general su-
pervision of affairs outside which they
should have. 1t is a physical impossibility
| for three assistants to cover the District
| thoroughly. One more would not have
| been a great deal, but he would have at
| least ughtened to some extent the heavy
burden now resting on the inspectors
| shoulders.
| In justice both to the inspector and to
the important interests placed under his
surveillance the action of tie conference
! ought to he reversed, If this be possible.

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the state
ment below will show that
the circulation sworn to is
bona fide one.
1t is easily possible for
newspaper with an elastic
conscience to swell its Iegit-
innate circulation enor-
mousIy, in order to deceive
advertisers. by sending out
thousands of papers to
news stands, which are re-
turnabIe, and which are in
fact returned, but neverthe-
less are included in what
purports to be an honest
statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers,
however, Judge by results,
and bogus circulation don't
give them.
The family circulation of
The Times is many thou
sands in excess of any other
Washington paper and is
believed to be fully two
times that of its afternoon
contemporary.

husband, for printing furnished him
while ne was manager Of Pauline's OPP
cratic ventures, and that as a star
she was to receive a salary Of $3.50 per
week.
Miss Hall testified that her operas all

time to time she said she advanced to
her husband considerable money.

Mr.. Oppenheim waited patiently for an
hour at the court house this morning
for Miss Hall, but she failed to appear.
Finally his patience became exhausted.
and then he asked Justice Mccarthy
to have her default noted. This was
done, and an order issued against the
actress to show cause why she should
not be punished for contempt Of court.
