OPENING
OF Nineteenth Session of the
Industrial Institute and Col
lege Occurred Yesterday.

and College there Is no more i'm
portant event in the local calen-
dar than the beginning of the
school year, and the opening of
the nineteenth annual session,
which occurred esterda
awakened just as much interest
as did the first opening eighteen
gears ago. Perhaps it will not
be amiss to take a retrospective
glance and contrast the first
opening of the school to that
which occurred yesterday.
When the college first opened
its doors to the white girls of
Mississippi in October, 1885 there
were but two buildings-the
chapel and dormitory-the latter
being the same building which
was used by the old Columbus
Female Institute for many years,
made to look new by the generous
use Of paint and varnish, with a
gallery added here and a cupola
there to give the structure a mod
ern appearance. But time brings
many changes, and the eighteen
years which have rolled by since
the opening of the first session
have brought many additions and
improvements. Instead of two
buildings there are now eight
large handsome structures, which
afford accommodations for over
100 hundred students, while dur
ing the first session the nun Der
provided for was but a scant two
hundred. OF course this increased /
number of students has necessi- I
tated many additions to the fac
uIty. and nearly forty officers and /
teachers are now employed.
Although the school did not .
open until yesterday both stu
dents and teachers began to ar
rive on Monday, and during the
past few days the street have
been filled with ladies whose
faces showed intelligence and
cnlture and girls who looked
bright and happy, for the stu
dents who have been here during
former years all love the college
ahd are glad to resume their
studies, while the new girls are
anxious to enter an institution of
which they have heard so much
that is good.
The formal opening occurred
at eleven C l o C K yesterday
morning, the spacious chapel be-
ing crowded with the students,
friends and patrons of the insti-
tuition. 1t had been expected
that Governor Elect Vardaman
and State Superintendent Whit
field would be present, but both
of these gentlemen were una
voidably detained at b o N q.
However, Lieutenant Governor
Elect NJ. M. Evans was present
and made most interesting
talk. Addresses were also made
by Rev. A. j. Miller, Rev. JOS
eph Herr, Rev. j. W. Dorman,
Rev. Dunbar H. Ogden n d
Hon. ]. T. Harrison. All of
these addresses were of a con-
gratulatory nature n d t b q
speakers took occasion to felici-
tate President Kincannon on the /
condition ( h e
school and spoke in terms of
highest praise regarding the work
that he has accomplished and
the vast strides that the institu-
ton has made during his incum-
bency. Mr.. Kincannon replied
to these speeches on behalf of
the institution and made a neat
little talk in which he returned
thanks for the nice things which
had been said about him and
about the school.

An lncipient Blaze.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Woodford Ray
of 725 First street returned from the
Memorial day exercises Saturday
night they discovered smoke pouring
out of the door and windows of their
kitchen. They gave the alarm and
neighbors notified the city hall. The
fire company responded but before
they arrived the fire had been quench.
ed by means of the garden hose. No
serious damage was done.
Before leaving for down town Mr..
Ray took his pipe out of coat which
was hanging in the kitchen. The
pipe felt warm at the time as he re-
members it. and it is supposed that
the pocket caught fire from the pipe
and slowly smouldered The coat and
several other garments had been con-
sumed when the family returned.

The Usual Fire Lesson,

This mornings fire illustrated most con-
spicuousy the efficiency of the Washington
fire department and also the need of
five minutes after the alarm was struck
water had been turned on the blaze, which
threatened hotel building and other val
liable property, and inside of fifteen min
utes all danger of a serious confiagration
was over. The fire was peculiarly menac-
ing in its nature and difficult to reach vet
50 promptly did the department respond
with such speed was the apparatus put
into service. so smoothly did the men per-
form their duty and so effectively did the
police cooperate that the fire was under
control in almost record time
While this excellent work was being done
at the corner of 18th street and the avenue
the department was so depleted that other
portions of the city were exposed to serious
danger 1t would have been difficult to

blocks away. in the center of the retail
district Any two or three-a alarm fire in
Washington leaves the greater part of the
capital at the mercy of chance. Yet, when
ever the plea for more men and steamers
is presented to Congress on this reckoning
the answer Is given that the city does well
enough with what 1t has. and additions are
made to the department only at a rate
which enables 1t to keep from being hope
lessly distanced by the growth of the COM
munity. 1t has never in recent years been
adequate and the process of catching up is

ton in the premises. other than to suggest
a way out Of the difficulty entirely con-
sistent with the principles of sportsman
ship and fair play. 1t is evident to an I'M
preiudiced observer that the board cannot
now decide the championship without re-
versing its action in the past in one respect
or another.
Why not then. in view of the apparent
all sides being reached by the directors of
the contests. refer the whole case to COM
mittee of, say. three men who are familiar
with the rules of the game and are capable
OF rendering a verdict in consonance with
the requirements of the sport? Three such
arbiters can easily be found. who have no
connection with and no personal interest
in any of the teams composing the league.
A frank submission of the question to them
would prevent further friction and work
to the best interest of amateur base ball
next season. The Stars concern in the well
fare of the young athletes of Washington
did not cease with it's donation Of this
prize. It is anxious now that no trouble
may be provoked by the present contro-
versy to prevent the continuation of the
competitions. The basic principle Of sport
is submission to the DEGREES of the umpire.
Fair play and clean-spirited rivalry should
always go together and there is no reason
to believe that they cannot be associated
effectively in this present situation.

The Star has always been a supporter of
clean, wholesome sport and whenever oc-
casion arose in the past it has given its
aid to praiseworthy amateur competitions
in the District by contributing prizes to
stimulate healthy rivalry. In pursuance
of this policy 1t offered. last spring. silver

adopted by those in charge of the play.
1t Is doubtful whether any series of base
ball games ever played in the District
aroused such a degree of popular interest.
The grounds were crowded at each contest
and the work of the various clubs was
watched eagerly and encouraged heartily
by partisans and by the impartial sport
loving public. The Stars purpose In the
premises was accomplished beyond expecta-

need of more specific statutes on this sub
ject. II the street railway company be-
neved the switch to be necessary and the
steam road objected to its installation q

have been found in the courts. The duty Of
the trolley company to provide an absolute
preventive was not lessened by the conduct
of the co-user of the crossing. Nor Is the
requirement to adopt such a device the less
because Of the adoption of an elaborate
system of stops on the part of the trolley
cars on approaching the crossing. 1t is not
enough for the managing directors and
their immediate agents to order their
motormen and conductors to follow certain
methods at dangerous points and then to be
given absolute immunity from liability
when this system fails In an emergency.
The derailing switch is none the less essen
tial because of the fact that the other de-
vices and methods serve efficiently in nine

thousand. 1t is that thousandth case for

False Prophets.

All self-respecting. progressive trades I'M
ionists in the United States should deplore
and denounce the spectacle which Is pre-
pairing for Monday in New York city in
connection with the celebration of Labor
day. The present plan is that the line Of
marching workers shall be headed by two
persons who represent the worst possible
evil to which labor can be exposed. These
are Samuel Parks and William Devery.
Parks was recently convicted of extortfon
and IS now out of the penitentiary on
respite granted by another court on the
amazing ground that it is not crime to
secure money from an employer as a con-
sideration for having a strike called on
Devery Is the former chief Of police of the
big city. known from ocean to ocean as the
head of the New York grafters man
without a shred of honesty in his moral
composition and openly the tool of the
gamblers of the metropolis and their can
didate for mayor of New York.
The danger of aff1lating with such dis
credited and disreputable men Is already
apparent to many thousands of the workers
of New York and current reports indicate
that Mondays lines will be materially thin
ned by reason of general dissatisfaction
with the program Both men are seeking
to bolster up their personal fortunes Parks
hopes for a rousing ovation to demonstrate
that the working world is still with him
despite the voice of the law. Devery to
pose as the patron of labor in a bid for
votes for mayor. Neither man is a true
friend of labor. Parks. it is true. aided
in the process OF forcing upward the wages
of the iron-workers. but he took precious
care to line his own pockets well at the
same time. And for all the good he may
have done to his co-workers he struck them
a blow from which they cannot easily re-
cover in years. in forcing them into an un-
justifable strike last spring and holding
them out of employment long after the
folly of their refusal to work had become
evident. Today thousands of wrecked
homes testify to the wantonness of this
mans demagogic, selfish policy. Millions Of
dollars have been lost to the workers and
tens of millions to the builders property
owners and merchants of the city. Years
of prosperity will not fully atone for the
calamity of this strike. for which Parks
alone can be held responsible.
Conservative wOrkingmen of all trades
must recognize that blind loyalty to a man
of this stripe In the hour of his just punish
ment is blow to the welfare of the whole
community. Parks and Devery marching
side by side cannot be accepted as the types
OF American labor without doing infinite
harm to labor's cause. They are not mod
els of the average workingman. Parks is
not today an example Of the true labor
leader. despite his success In leading nearly
a hundred thousand workers in New York
Into poverty. Devery is not type Of the
true patron and friend of labor. unless as
an exponent of the policy that by graft
alone shall labor thrive. To the extent to
which these men are sincerely indorsed by
the workingmen of the metropolis Monday
will the solution Of the so-called labor
problem IN the interests of all be post
poned
