1t is a matter of little wonder

1t is a matter of little wonder
that Boies Penrose introduces an
amendment in the senate to the bill
providing for the election OF sena>
tors by popular vote, which he
hopes will kill or smother the bill.
Penrose is an accident, as senator
from the great state of Pennsylva'
MIA. He would have positively no
show whatever to succeed himself,
if the sovereign people of that state
had their say. He is very small
atom in the history of the
Keystone state AS tool only OF
Quay was he elected. 1t is to side
track just such men as Penrose,
that the people demandto have the
right of senatorial selection. 1t is
to be hoped national pressure will
become SO great that the measure,
as a constitutional amendment must
pass in the upper body of congress.

VALUE OF TIME.

no man can work" O
Nothing is so dear and precious
as time" wrote Rabelais some hun
dreds of years ago, and the words
ring as true today as they did when
the ink on his quill was still wet.
More than 1900 years before RABIES
lais, the Savoir voiced the same
idea in different words, the words
with which this message begins.
Once king lying on his deathbed
moancd: II would give my king
dom for one more hour OF time. "
Was he thinking Of the opportuni>
ties he had lost, the many, many
hours he had thrown heed,essly

Nothing is SO valuable as time,
and nothing is used with so much
profligacy. No man is sure of to-
morrow, and yet how many spend
today as if there were no limit to
the tomorrow>? We begin wasting
time in our youth. and we keep
right on wasting it until time for US
comes to an end. The individual
who says he hasn't time to do a
certain thing today will devote to
some useless employment far more
than the amount of~time that woulc
have been consumed in accomplish
ing what was desired of him.

The Helland-America steamship line has
Issued a pamphlet Dutch Art as Seen
by a Layman.' 1t has been prepared by
James H. Gore, Phi. D.. professor Of mathe-
MATES aad geodesy in Columbian University,
Washington, and is in itself a work of art,
being profusely illustrated; the illustrations
representing some of the famous paintings
of the art galleries of Amsterdam, The
Hague and HARLEM. Tourists who con-
template a trip abroad, intending to visit
Holland. will find this publication interest
ing and valuable. Lovers of art also will
doubtless study it's pages with pleasure and
profit, illustrations and descriptions of the
several paintings being so artistically pre-
scented as to make it guide book worthy
of preservation.
The steamship company has not only dis
played commendable taste and enterprise in
publishing this work, but evinces a spirit
OF liberality as well by distributing the
same gratuitously on application to any Of
its officers or agencies.

CHILDREN's OUTING.
The Committee Active and the Outlook
~
ENCOURAGING,

Although matters connected with the
children's excursion to Chesapeake Beach
next Thursday, Goth instant, are pretty
well in hand, 1t is said, there yet remains
much to be done. The members Of Pioneer
Council, No. /, Sons of Jonadab, have
worked earnestly toward the end that the
day may be one of thorough enjoyment to
all who go with them and especially are
their efforts directed toward the comfort
and pleasure of the little people. The man
agement at the Beach has made most gen.
erous concessions and have placed at the
disposal of the committee everything that
can tend toward the good time that all may
confidently expect. The committee reports
that the citizens of the District have made
generous donations.
To make final arrangements about the
general management of affairs on the day
of the excursion the committee and neni-
bers of Pioneer Council generally will meet
with others who are actively interested in
the movement at rooms 66 and g. Corco-
ran building, tomorrow at o'clock.
AS the expenses incurred in this outing,
which is on a somewhat extensive scale,
are not at all Insignificant, the funds avail
able at the present are not yet sufficient
and additional cash donations are solicited.
Ample provision will be made for any
number of people in the way of supplying
edibles and general entertainment.
The Star will acknowledge all donations
sent to 1t. One subscription additional to
those previously printed has been received,
that of Mrs c. c. Black, 81.

FUNERAL EXPENSES.
City Solicitors View of Proposed Code
Amendment

The city solicitor yesterday submit
ted to the Commissioners an opinion on the
bill to amend the code of law for the Dis
trict of Columbia relative to the payment
OF the funeral expenses Of decedents. By
the bill it is proposed to amend the code so
as to make reasonable funeral expenses"
without limitation in amount, a preferred
claim against the estate of the decedent.
By the code provision is made for the al
lowance Of funeral expenses, lat the discre-
ton of the court, according to the condi-
ton and circumstances of the deceased. not
exceeding 5000"
Mr.. Duvall, in his opinion, says: THE
provision of existing law, it seems to me,
affords a sufficient preference for funeral
expenses, and the maximum amount al
lowed appears to be quite ample for the
purpose. 1t may be that early payment in
some cases is delayed, but this does not
necessitate legislation such as is proposed
in the present bill. ! should think that
public policy would dictate the curtaiment
rather tina nthe enlargement Of funeral ex
penses, with a view to preventing unneces-
sary ostentation and display on such occa-
sions."

DEATH OF MRS, RIDGELY.
Wife Of the Controller Of the Currency
Passes Awav.

Mrs. William Barrett Ridgely, wife OF the
controller Of the currency, and daughter
Of Senator Cullom, died in Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, at 2:15 this morning.
Mr.. Ridgely and his family and Senator
and Mrs. Cullom and family will leave with
the remains at 7:45 o'clock this evening
over the Pennsylvania railroad for Spring
field, Ill. The funeral will probably take
place in Springfield Monday.
The announcement of the death of Mrs.
Ridgely will be a great shock to her Wash
irgton friends, very few of whom had any
knowledge of her illness. She was widely
known here, having spent a part of every
winter with her parents for many years.
For the past twelve months having her
own residence here she was identified more
thoroughly with social life. She had many
charming qualities which endeared her to
her friends, and a pleasantly cordial man
ner that attracted strangers. She leaves
two daughters, the elder of whom was to
be introduced into society next winter.
The anticipation of this event had been
source of great pleasure to her mother. A

could. The post office building was afire,

mace in the basement. and the smoke had
descended on the roof from the high black
stack at the south of the building.
