The FEATHER clerk seems to nave set
his seal of disapproval on the Reno car
nival and street fair. He is evidently try
ing to make a midwinter fair of the
show. Yesterday mornings storm ruined
most of the decorations, upon which the
Remedies had expended much money, time.
labor and praise, and the continued
threatening Weather made 1t necessary to
postpone the queens coronation, which
was set to take place last night.
The cold and stormy weather will ma
teriaily curtail the profits expected by
the Remedies and put a damper on every
thing except the midway shows. headed
by the notorious Little Egypt From all
accounts these exhibitions will be SC
torrid that nothing less than a north
western blizzard would have an effect on
them. If Little Egypt" and the other
street fair attractions succumb to the
wintry blasts and fail to give the whole
program as advertised Reno will be full
of disappointed visitors and to~wnspeople
this week-and the weather will not be
the thief source of disappointment either.

Another washoe Mining Discovery.

Word has been received in this city that
another important mining discovery has
been made near Reno. says the Carson
Appeal. Some time ago a man by the
nam of Tubbs found a gold ledge stu
ated about six miles east of Reno that
shows over four fet In width and assays
all the way from $40 to $50 Ga ton. The
discovery has been kept a secret for some
time n Tubbs, together with a number
of friends. have located all the country
that shows mineral formation. 1t is said
that some exceedingly rich specimens
have ben brought into Rene and only
those who were interested were allowed
TO know OF the high assays and the ex-
tent of the ore deposit. 1t is to be
hoped that the rumor is well founded and
that the mine will prove another Wede-
kind.

The broken wings are Spliced, or set, as in

A Boiler Law Needed,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

Tc the Editor of The Evening Star:
The recent disastrous explosion of a hot
water boiler in the northwest section of the
city should call for some special and speedy
action upon the part of the proper off,
Gals. In the testimony brought out at the
inquest over the body Of the unfortunate
butler it was stated by two thoroughly
competent witnesses that this accident
a safety valve been on the boiler and the
same in working condition. One of the
most prominent steam filters in the city
claimed that these valves were never placed
on hot water boilers unless specially de-
manded. and although he had installed
many boilers similar to the one that eX-
ploded but few had the safety valves. Is 1t
not strange that such a grave danger
threatens most of the large houses in the
city. when a small continuance, possibly
costing but a few dollars, would give abb
soiute security? Such a condition should
not exist. Some law should promptly be
enacted compelling these steam filters to
place valves of the above character on all
hot water boilers, whether considered high
low pressure. The writer agrees with
the article appearing in The Star of Thurs
the verdict was unjust. Admitting the ac-
cident was due to the buffers carelessness.
it is evident that such carelesSneSs would
not have resulted in the loss of life and de-
struction that followed had the installer of
the plant used the precaution of adding the
is nonsense. Surely it Is the duty of these
people to avail themselves of every safe
guard known against the possibility of such
a catastrophe. and when this is not done,
If trouble ensues, they should be given
their share of the blame. B. r. H.

Street Extension and the Deficit.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have just read the editorial in your is
sue of the 9th instant entitled Bankruptcy
by Street Extensions Do you think this is
quite fair. without reminding the public of
other expenditures which have been made
for the Massa chusetts avenue and Connec-
ticut avenue bridges? In this editorial you
critiCise the lack of assessment where 10th
street is concerned. TO be fair should you
not state that Connecticut avenue was ex-
tended through Washington Heights with
out one cent having been levied in assess
ment on the adjacent territory? To be fair
should you not have stated the amount of
lands donated for the extension of 18th
street to the District line of 100 feet in
width? The law required 10 per cent in
donation, while 90 per cent was given. To
me fell the lot of not only donating but
of procuring all the other donations the
value of which, heard one of our Commits
sioners state. amounted to $25O,OO0. 1 have
only to state that should the 10th street
measure fail said donated lands will
revert to the former owners, who are so
disguised with the obstacles which have
been thrown in the way of their effort to
do their part as good citizens they will
never, while they live or own said lands
make donations for 18th street or any
other. THOMAS BIAGDEN

WORKING BADLY,
Phones Used by Police in Outlying
Precincts


Major Richard Sylvester, the superintend-
emf Of police. has called the attention of the
District Commissioners to the fact that
a number of the police patrol box tele-
phones in the outlying precincts have been
working badly Of late, and has asked that
the matter be looked into. 1t is said that
about fourteen patrol boxes in Georgetown,
eleven in the third precinct and twelve in
the ninth precinct were in bad order. The
paper has been referred to the electrical
engineer. 1t lis stated that many of the
patrol boxes in the precincts designated
are old and practically worn out, some of
the instruments having been in continuous
service for more than ten years 1t is
claimed that these boxes would have been
replaced some time ago If the necessary
appropriation had been available
The police telephones are on an entirely
separate system from the other District
lines. The telephones in each of the ten
precincts lead to a switchboard in the
station houses. Some of the lines in the
outlying precincts are quite long and re-
qutre constant attention.
The fire alarm system is in excellent con-
Qition, ii Is stated
