classed as suci-and for this reason the
decision of the court of appeals which
afrirms a verdict involving the payment
OF $4,000 damages is most timely and will
no doubt serve as u warning TO all the
companies in the city. u may be expected

for damage suits.
Some passengers, II is true. are unneces-
sarily dilatcry in their movements when
getting on or off cars, and such, especially
women. are most trying to the patience Of
conductors. But at the same time these
ought 10 remember that they and their COM
panics arc public servants, and that it is
their business TO study the comfort and,
above all things, the safety of their pa
irons. To neglect doing this is likely to SUBJ
ject them and their employers to annoyance
and expense, which with ordinary circum-
spection and care can Just as well be

Washington Needs Fireboat.

The fire along the river front this morn
ing demonstrated more forci'bly than any
argument could possibly do the necessity
for n fircboat. Such an addition tn the
fire fighting equipment of the city has
been repeatedly urged by the chief uf
the department as well as hy the harhor-
master. No city that has considerable
water front and important business in
tcrcsts along the sane but has prov f,le'i
itself with one or moro of these steamers,
and their experience has proved the wisdom
Of the expense.
On several occasions if Il fireboat had
been available considerable loss II !.rop-

age done by this mornings fire is COM
parativefy slight, but this is due only To
the excellent work of the department.

The Star Again Challenged
1t Still Seems Afraid of It's
Circulation Books-Popu-
larity of The Times
Continues to
Increase.

Washington readers know n good thing
when they see 1t. and the fact that The
Times cannot supply the dema nj for
papers. demonstrates the popularity OF
publishing Il morning and evening edition.
Two editions 4 day furnishes tie public
all tlir evs before il has time TO become

subscribe for 10th the morning and even

including the Zig Sunday paper. for 80
cents Il month.
The Star continues TO publish its latest

Times challenge. In Saturdays edition
1t claims TO have an aggregate weekly
circulation ufNl SO. 500. which, it says, is
"mauy thousands in excess OF any other
Washington paper The aggregate cir
cuiation Of The Times for the same week
was 24l.1eO. or 51,s14 in excess of the
Star. Both the star and The Times claim
statements are sworn to by reputable gem
tieinen, and are equally entitled to credit,
but rs that OF The Times is considerably
the largest. it must be admitted that the
Star is attempting to deceive the public
when il claims the greater circulation.
Ipasinach as The Times believes in
publicity, and wants all the advertising it
can get on the subject, it rciteratcs the
Challenge OF last week to the Star. for
comparison of circulation books. and asks
that they be submitted to an expert COM
urittee equabiy appointed, to examine
them. Unless the Star accepts this propo-
sition il must either withdraw its state

stand before the public as a self-confessed

AS JONES SEES IT.
BRYAN WILL NOT ACCEPT THE
POPUMIiST NOMINATION.
viii Do Nothing That VIII Reflect
Upon Him as Gentleman or as
Democratic Candidate.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a special to
the World from Washington says
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairnaL
of the Democratic national committee,
has returned to Washington When
asked by the World correspondent the
question: Twill Mr.. Bryan accept the
nomination offered him by the Popu-
lists?" he answered slowly and DELHI
erately:
How can he? He was nominated
with Mr. Sewall on the Democratic
platform and will do nothing that will
reflect upon him as a gentleman, or as
a Democratic candidate.
Il see that some of the Populists are
declaring that unless Mr.. Bryan ac-
cepts their nomination by August 3
the central committee will withdraw
his name and nominate some one else
in his place. Well, let them 10 SO. Mr.
Bryan having been the nominee Of the
Democrats and of the Silver party, COM
mon decency would al least suggest the
proprietv of his accepting those nomi-
nations first. But suppose the Popu-
lists do nominate another candidate for
the presidency, what would be the re-
suit? Mr.. Bryan received thousand
votes in their convention and then this
central committee. composed OF few
men, comes along and nominates a new
man. L will simply mean the disrup-
ton and disorganization OF he Popl,ist
party.
I'VE all know that we are going to
have either Bryan and Sawall or Nc
Kinley and Hobart The best men and
the most intelligent of the Topulist
party will vote for Bryan and Sewall."
In conclusion Senator Jones. accord

and west as broad minded and patriotic
men. On the other hand he said the
YPopulisfs of the south were out for
no-hng but "spo,ls Mr. Jones se:d he
did not propose to allow Mr.. Watson TO

CRACK TRAP SHOTS TO MEET AT
BURNSIDE TODAY.
1t VIII Be the Greatest Interstate
Battle at Live Birds Ever Fought,
and Interesting Results Are Look
ed For.

CHICAGO. August about 200 of
the crack trap shots who are to take
part in the Dupont worlds Champion
ship shooting tournament, which be-
gins at Burnside, ILL.,, tomorrow, ar
rived today. Among the principal
ones are: Charles McAllister of Balti-
more, c. NJ Grimm of Spirit Lake. ia,
G. W. Budd, Des Moines; Tom Gollen-
der, Nashville; R. O. Heikes, Dayton;
Justus Won Lengerke, New York; Fred.
Dev1ne, Utica; o. r. Dickey, Boston;
Joe George, San Antonio; R. S. Wad-
dell, Cincinnati; Chauncey NJ. Powers,
Decatur, ILL.,; E. D. Fulford, Utica;
Harvey McMurchy, Syracuse; Judge
Logan, Cincinnati. Several delegations,
notably the Buffalo, Chattanooga, Mo-
bile, Cincinnati, Omaha, Kansas City,
st. Louis, Philadelphia, Wilmington,
Milwaukee and Pittsburg, will arrive
in the morning. 1t is more than likely
that upwards of 1000 shooters will be
in attendance. Ex-Governor Peck of
Wisconsin will accompany the Milwau-
kee delegation. Some OF the teams that
will compete in the team race are the
strongest ever gotten together, and the
members have been in constant prac-
tice over two weeks. 1t will be the
greatest interstate battle at live birds
ever fought. The eastern men come
confident Of beating the WeSternerS,
and the latter are seemingly confident
of holding their ground. The south
will be represented by about $50 shoot
ers of high class. A special tent with
the word Dixie in big letters upon it,
has been prepared at their headquart-
ers. Twenty tents have been erected
for the convenience of the shooters
and more are in readiness. The team
shoot will take place Wednesday,
which has also been selected as ladies
day. A special entertainment has been
arranged for their benefit. The worlds
championship race will be at twenty
five birds a man. and will be a handi-
cap, the handicap being in distance
This race is creating more excitement
than the team shoot. The handicap
ping is in the hands of a committee
Lomposed of a number of leading eX-
parts. No shooter will know what his
handicap is until after his entry is
made. Signor Guidicini, the champion
of Europe, has written J. H. Robbins,
the editor of the Sportsmen's Review,
that he will be unable to be present
on account of the holiday shooting fete
now in progress in Belgium. The let
ter was received today. The champion
ship race takes place on Thursday. To-
morrow and Tuesday will be devoted
to sweepstake shooting. 1t is thought
that the team race and the champion
ship contest will occupy the remainder
of the week.
