The train came in on time, drawn by
100, and she stood with calm dignity on
the siding while her wild, hayward
and disreputable sister. all gaudy in
her new paint, with changing bell and
blowing steam. with polished head
light and new flags fluttering at her
shoulders, glided backward like a gay
girl on roller skates, to take her place.
She had helper up the hill. one of
those heavy-mounted climbers, and
when they came to the steep grade. and
the powerful mogul with steady step
marked perfect time, the Rockaway
chafed and fretted like spoiled colt.
At every curve her feet would fly from
under her, and her wheels go round
50 fast that it seemed she would strip
herself; and when the driver shut off
and dropped sand to allow her to get
her footing again she blew off steam
and wasted the water which is so
precious on a heavy grade. Between
stations she would foam and throw
water out of her stack, and when shut
off show dry blue steam in her gauges;
so when they stopped the driver had
to hold her on the center, with her
valves closed and throttle wide open,
for that keeps the boiler strained and
holds the water up over the fiues and
crown sheet In good time the mogul
dragged her and her train to the top,
10.050 feet above the sea, and left her
TO fall down the western slope.

A wholesome Influence.

The aldermen and common councilrnen
of the national capital met at the Arling-
ton Saturday night in larger numbers, so
far as the common council is concerned,
than are usually present on District day
In the council chamber on Capitol Hill,
and representatives of their nearly 800, 900
Washington constituents also participated
in the joint session. The result of the
meeting was a most enjoyable and in
structiVe evening, beneficial both to the
capita. city, and to the legislators them
selves, who as rule are keenly and con-
scientiously alive to their constitutional
obligations toward the nations city, and
need only accurate and reliable informa-
ton concerning the real and urgent needs
OF their national constituency to cause
them to labor for the welfare of the capt.
tai. in whose development they take
patriotic interest and pride. Such open
and public discussions of District con-
Germs and the relations of the capital to
the nation are it is repeated, useful both
to the legislators, confused by the contra
dictory appeals and representations of in
dividuals. and to the District itself.

Extend the Water SuDpIy,

Some time las now elapsed since the SUBJ
mission to Congress by the Secretary of
War of the report on the aqueduct tunnel
and no steps have yet been taken, ap-
parently, for the utilization Of the informa-
ton thus collected by the War Depart
ment at considerable cost. A year ago it
was proposed by the Senate TO amend the
District appropriation bill by adding a
large sum fo- the resumption of operations
on the tunnel project, but in the absence
OF any definite opinion from competent
engineering authorities that the original
plan could be successfully consummated it
was deemed wiser to temporize in the mat
ter, and accordingly an appropriation of
$4,000 was made to pay the expenses of
a thorough survey. The Secretary of War
was thus asked for report from the
engineering authorities of the army and
this mas now been submitted, fortified by
the opinion of a most competent board Of
experts organized to review the Judgment
of the officer in charge Of the aqueduct
and the chief of engineers of the army.
That report is to be accepted as the best
available opinion upon the subject. 1t
recommends the completion Of the tunnel
project at an estimated expenditure of less
than 100000, and there is nothing in any
part of the report to justify further hesita-
ton in the matter providing that Congress
is agreed that an increase of the water
supply of the city Is necessary. This fact
Is receiving annual demonstration in the
periodical water famines that the citizens
experience, and in view of what was pro-
posed year ago and abandoned only for the
lack of information there is little reason
why Secretary Lannon'S report should
not now DE promptly given the form of
a bill, authorizing the completion of the
tunnel and appropriating sufficient sum
for that purpose. This measure should be
passed at this session so that the work
may be resumed during The coming sum-

purpose. especially a. he is fortified by the
opinion Of some Of the justices of the Dis
trict Supreme Court to the effect that 1t Is
the intent of the law that the attendance
at executions shall be limited to those
whose presence is really necessary These
include clergymen. physicians. guards, ju-
rors and reporters. Beyond these classes
there is no reason for further attendance
1t Is wise provision that the reporters
shall be used as members Of the jury re-
quired by the law to certify to the fact of
death by legal process. for this reduces the
number of persons whose presence is re-
qufsite. Warden Leonard estimates that
the number of spectators at the execution,
all told, need not exceed thirty. and 1t is
greatly to be hoped that this number may
not be increased. The very nature of an ex-
ecution should operate to prevent any out
burst OF curious desire to be present. There
Is nothing refining, edifying. or profitable
about the sight of an able-bodied man be-
ing suddenly killed. On the contrary the
spectacle Is revolving. The persons who
seek admission are not the ones whom the
law hopes to impress with the lesson
taught by capital punishment. They are as
a rule orderly. moral men, of well-balanced
MINDS save In this one morbid desire to wit
ness the scenes Of death, and they are far
beyond the scope of the example furnished
for the checking of crime The Star ex-
presses the hope that Warden Leonard will
carry out his present plan to keep out the
crowd next Friday

The Unserviceable Auxiliary Nav,

The steamship st. Paul. recently beached
on the Jersey shore, has been sent from
New York to Newport News to be locked
for examination and repair. This indicates
anew the deplorable lack of facilities for
handling large men-of-war and merchant
vessels that has often been noted as evil
dence OF the great amount of work that is
yet to be done before this country can rest
assured of having a safe equipment. The
st. Paul, il must be borne in mind, is a
member of the auxiliary navy, and as such
should be regarded in much the same light
as a war ship. In case this cruiser and
her sister ships should be drafted into ac-
tive service the lack of suitable drydock
facilities would seriously reduce their fight
ing efficiency. The same is true as regards
their general equipment, which is not now
supplied, and yet the government is an
nually taxed large sums in subsidy, which
would be fine investment except for the
fact of this peace-meal and Improbable
policy.

A Morbid Curiosity.

In July last, when arrangements were in
progress for the execution of two con-
demned murderers, 1t was announced that
an effort would be made to keep the attend
ance down to the minimum allowed by the
law The Star applauded this movement as
good and wholesome and expressed the
hope that 1t would result in discouraging
the morbid curiosity of those who have NO
duties to perform in connection with these
infections of the death penalty. At the first
execution the attendance was gratifyingly
small, but week later the pressure for
tickets upon the warden and others in au-
thority became so great that the crowd of
spectators was increased and the old-time
scenes were re-enacted of unseemly crowd
ing to witness the last moments of an I'M
fortunate human being. Next Friday another
man pays the extreme penalty for taking the
life of fellow creature. Already the ap-
phcation for tickets has begun and once
again the jail warden finds himself con-
fronted with an eeger crowd, seemingly I'M
conscious of the horrible nature Of their
quest. The warden declares, however, that
he will resist the pressure. and as he has
sole charge Of the execution there is no
good reason why he can not carry out his

The Hebrew Fair.

The fair for the benefit of the building
fund of the Washington Hebrew congrega-
ton, TO be opened tonight, deserves gener-
Gus support from the citizens of the capt.
tai, Irrespective of their religious belief. II
Is planned that the new synagogue shall
cost 100000 or more and, as now planned,
1t will be a handsome addition to the archI-
tectural attractions of Washington. This
fact alone entities the present project to
hearty encoura cement, but In addition It
should be remembered that the Hebrews of
this city are most generous givers on all
occasions when money Is required for pub
lie objects, and render effective support to
all enterprises similar to that which they
are about to inaugurate The fair de-
serves to be a notable success.

Good Work by the board of Trade.

Such occasions as that of Saturday night,
when the board OF trade met the national
legislators in the genial and pleasant at
mosphere of social reunion, should tend TO
increase the spirit of good will that as a
rule prevails between the nation and It's
capital virtually it's ward, the city of
Washington. While there are occasional
misunderstanding on the part of some
members of Congress as to the RESPONSE
bilities of the central government in re-
spect to the District yet by means of Just
such gatherings as that of Saturday night
there Is diffused among the legislators
general appreciation of the real needs and
requirements of the District and of the oh
legations resting upon them to foster the
best interests of this city of the nation.
The board of trade has done a great edu-
cationaI work in this line, and 1t has con-
stantly pressed upon the attention of Con-
gress the most urgent of the Districts
needs and has accomplished some whole
some and desirable results. The project
for new municipal building has been
kept alive and recommended with many
forcible arguments session after session
until now the time seems near at hand
when the present ridiculous accommcda-
tons of the municipal government will be
replaced by a fine modern structure, an Or
nament to the city. The board has vigor-
ously and persistently labored for the sue
cess of the free library plan which, it is
practically assured, will be realized before
the end of the current year. There is now
pending before the Senate measure max
ing for the adjustment of grade crossings
on the line of the Pennsylvania railroad in
this city, and this, it is expected, will be
soon followed by another relating to the
occupation of streets at grade by the Bal
timore and Ohio. These measures repre-
sent a work of years on the part of the
board of trade, aided by The Star. The
board has also fought vigorously for a
modern reconstruction Of Long Bridge and
other bridge improvements. Through the
efforts Of the board there is a more hope
full prospect than ever before of the franz
ing and adoption of modern code of laws
Tor the District. Better school facilities
and increased police and fire protection are
among the many other projects heartily ad-
vocated by this organization, while the
board has always fought for the better
ment of health conditions, and to this end
has urged a more complete sewer equip
ment and tbs improvement of Rock Creek
and the James Creek canal. In view of its
creditable list of accomplishments, and of
endeavors that seem about to be crowned
with success, the board of trade has well
earned the grateful appreciation Of all the
citizens of Washington.
