From the Chicago Record Herald.
No truer exposition Of the fact that
Washington has come up from being solely
the legislative capital of the United States

sources of modern newspaper, and these
are none too great to present the combined
history of the growth Of The Star and the

tempt the barest synopsis Of the amazing
transformation 1t records that has taken
place in half century.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
The Washington Evening Star celebrated
it's fftieth anniversary last Tuesday by the
publication Of an immense edition, consist
ing Of five parts and an Illustrated maya
zine supplement, containing altogether ia
pages. The Star is one Of the most prosper
GUS and trustworthy newspapers in the
country. The people Of Washington swear
by It: all OF them read 1t regularly. some
Of them doubtless when they can get 1t
without paying for 1t. 1t has prospered
wonderfully in a material way, and the sue
cess which has attended 1t has been the re-
ward of merit. We do not always agree
with 1t In its views upon public questions
and political policies, but we respect 1t for
the honesty and cleanliness of its life.
The Star Is very large part of Washing
ton. 1t has grown with the growth and
strengthened with the strength Of the ma
tional capital. The Washington of today

THE TEXAS DELUGE
NO ABATEMENT IN THE RAIN.
FALL THERE.
Three Lives Reported Lost and a Vast
Amount of Damage to
..-- Property.

DALLAS, Texas, July 26.-The deluge of
rain which has been pouring over central
Texas since Thursday, and which has been
covering the western portion Of the state
since Sunday, has not abated. In addition
to three lives lost at Stephensville, reported
last night, there has been much property
damaged. AT Cameron yesterday fifteen
inches of rain fell within four hours. A
thousand feet of the Santa Fe track was
carried away and a portion of the Aransas
Pass road was destroyed. Little river rose
twenty feet in eight hours, but is slowly
receding The streets of Cameron are bad
ly damaged, and farms in the bottom lands
are flooded.
At Galesville ten inches of rain fell.
Two Texas and Pacific passenger trains
were tied up at Weatherford all day yes
terday.
Big Springs is probably the greatest suf-
ferer from a property standpoint, as water
is over the town from four TO twenty-five
feet deep. The railroad track for ten miles
west of Big Springs has been washed out
and the bridges are gone. Fifty passengers
are waterbound here. No attempt will be
made to run trains until the water recedes.
The foundations of brick and stone build
ings are damaged, and many are expected
to collapse. The damage will be enormous.
At Waco the Brazos was still rising at
midnight, and was within foot of the
danger line. 1t is still raining there.

Into New Control,

BALTIMORE, July 26.-It is announced
here that the Seaboard Air Line Railroad
Company has bought the South and West
ern railway. The latter is a new company
under which two or more roads will be con-
solidated. 1t owns the Ohio River and
Charleston railway, which it is proposed
to extend from the coal fields of Southwest
Virginia to Lincolnton, N. c., where, ac-
cording to the plans, connection is to be

The proposed road will be about 275 miles
in length. hut 1t Is thought that the mile.
age will be increased by its extension in a
northerly direction. Connection may be
made with the Detroit Southern at Ironton,
Ohio. The Detroit Southern operates from
Detroit to Wellston, Ohio, via Lima, 343

WORK ON WHITE HOUSE
Mansion Stripped From Attic
to Cellar.
FURNISHINGS STORED
REMOVAL OF IRON FENCES FROM
THE PARKS.
Report of Col. Bingham, Engineer Of
fcer in Charge of Public Build
ings and Grounds.

In his annual report, Col. Bingham, the
engineer officer IL charge of public build
ings and grounds, makes the following brief
reference to the work of remodeling the
Executive Mansion:
The sundry civil act approved June 26,
1902, contained provisions for an office
building for the President and for remodel
ing the White House. Work was done be-
fore the close of the fiscal year, but full re-
port is postponed to the next annual report,
the following preliminary remarks being
the work up to date: The site selected for
this building is situated west of the con-
servatory and was occupied by four green
houses and two old frames. In June the
United States employees IN the greenhouses
removed the plants therefrom, and the
buildings were Immediately demolished, and
excavation for the new building CONNIE nc i.
Such Of the old materials from the green
houses were worth saving were hauled to
the property yards at the propagating gar
dens.
by sundry civil act approved June 2s
1862, authority was given for rent of tenn
porary offices for the President during the
reconstruction of the White House. The
house, No. 22 Jackson place, on west side
of Lafayette square, has been leased for
this purpose from July l to November /,
1902, and the Presidents offices removed
thither. The usual telegraph and telephone
connections have been made, and the house
fitted well practicable for its tempo
Tary use.
The changes are to be so extensive that
1t has been necessary to strip the house
bare from attic to cellar. Carpets, curtains,
furniture, etc. have all been stored $50 far
as practicable, in government bulldings).
The silver and portraits of the Presidents
have been stored in tire-proof buildings. The
glass, porcelain, etc, has been packed in
barrels. All gas aud electric fixtures have
been taken apart and packed. In short, the
best has been done with the furnishings OF
the White House that could be in the short
time possible after the President decided
the work should be done and Congress ap-
propri3tod therefor.

Removal of Park Defenses.

ut being the wish Of Congress- says
Colonel Bingham, that the public parks
should be as open as possible, all the former
high iron fences have been removed, except
where absolutely needed. This has left the
edges of the parks with unfinished APP
pearance, which, in many cases, is very un-
slightly. 1t has been found by experience
that simple stone curbing gives a pleas
ing finish, and is sufficient TO preserve
neat border line between park and sidewalk
Lafayette Park is an illustration. Franklin
Park, one of the prettiest and most fire.
quented in Washington, suffers for lack of
this. A simple but tasteful granite curb
