Holidays.
from the New York Times.


1t is curious comment upon the assem-
bled wisdom of the state of New York that
the ridiculous bill to make another legal
holiday should have passed both houses of
the legislature. 1t is to be hoped, and, we
suppose, to be expected. that Gov Odell
will veto this absurd measure. The first
condition of legal holiday is that 1t
should celebrate. as Emerson had 1t, real
and not pretended joys" Nobody needs a

haps a certain number of New Workers.

the same at the close of a business day.
Nobody but our engaging friends of the

brate the feat of their compatriot
The plain fact is that we have too MANY
holidays already. Lincoln day stands as a
monument of legislative folly, and Labor
day as a monument of legislative dema-
gogism.
1t is high time to call halt Not ONLY,
should We call a halt. but we should take
some steps backward. Christmas day. New

How BARRIERS Are Supplied.

mo barber need own towels these days;
in fact, very few of them do said one
of the craft to Star man this morning.
Now companies attend to that for the
barber. In the old days the barber had to
spend great deal of money In providing
towels and in having them laundered, un-
less of course he had a wife to do it for
him, and even then he had to buy the tow
els Nowadays all he has to do is to send
an order to supply company and a wagon
brings them to barber at small rate
per hundred. all laundered and folded and
counted. He gets his hair cutting cloths
in the same manner. When they have been
used the wagon calls for them and sup
plies clean ones in their place The bust
ness has grown greatly since it was first
started and now the company supplies
coats to the BARRIERS. white vests and coats
for barkeepers and towels to business

designations From Fire Department.

To the Editor OF The Evening star:
A condition Of vital Importance in con-
nection with the fire department of this
District exists which calls for immediate
and henceforth daily agitation until rem
edied In the past week two designations
have taken place, one of them to the adj
vantage of the police force. This man was
undoubtedly a good one. or Major Sylvester
would not take him, consequently the fire
department loses the services of a trained
fire fighter to the detriment of the COM
munity, and in his stead takes novice.
1t is also certain the other fireman was a
good one. or he would not have had a
chance to go to the navy yard. presumably
for better hours or pay. This necessitates
another novice to fight fire, who, by the
time he becomes proficient, will be so dis
gusted with the hours of duty and pay for
same that he will be seeking other condi-
tions. The new law calls for chief of
five years experience. What will his abili-
ties amount to If he Is handica pped with
novices? Is 1t not more necessary to have
privates of experience and plenty of them,
and Furthermore, is 1t not necessary to
create such conditions about them that 1t
will be easy to keep them in the depart
ment? The fire department should be
placed on an equal footing with the police
department. as to both duty and pay, and
police vacancies can be filled with good
men (pay calls for it, without having our
trained fire fighters seeking the same.
Our fire department at present is COM
posed of first-class men. The community

WARM FIGHT IN PROSPECT
Representative Calderhead After Sena.

Representative Calderhead of the fifth
congressional district of Kansas is after
the scalp of Senator Burton and a warm
political fight is in prospect that will not
end until 1906" said r. c. Taylor of Topeka
to a Star man at the Arlington this morn
ing. Both Representative Caderhead and
Senator Burton have a large following of
strong friends in the state and the former
will prove formidable adversary to the
incumbent. Senator Burton is not in good
favor with those in the fifth district who
are pushing Representative Calderhead to
the front. but both of the men have strong
friends, many of whom are mutual friends
and for this reason much friction is bound
to arise

Budget.
From the London Chronicle.

1t is difficult to realize that the term
budget. now so often in every ones mouth,
is a term less than 200 years old, the ear
lest mention of the word dating no farther
back than 1913. We borrowed it from the
old French Ianguage-bougette, meaning a
small bag. in which in former times it was
the custom to put the estimates of receipts
and expenditures when presented to parlia-
ment. Hence the chancellor of the ex-
chequer in making his annual statement
formerly said to open his budget. In
time the term paSsed from the receptacle
to the contents, and curiously this new sig
MITIGATION was returned from this country
to France, where it was first used in an off,
cial manner in the early part of the nine
tenth century.

RED CROSS SOCIETY
A COMPLETE REORGANIZATION
MAY BE THE RESULT.
Present State of Affairs Not Known to
Many Membership Fight
on Miss Barton.

1t IS regarded as extremely probable by
persons acquainted with the condition of
the affairs of the Red Cross Society that
complete reorganization of the society will
result from the difficulties in which some of
the members find themselves at present. 1t
Is asserted, with some authority, that the
suspended members contemplated a reor-
ganization of the society on a more bust
Eesslike basis when they were suspended,
and it is limited that this was, to a great
measure. one of the causes of their sus-
pension. This phase of the matter will not
be discussed by the suspended members,
however. until final action is taken with
regard to the statement which the sus-
pended members promise to make public:
This statement, as has been indicated, Will
not discuss the situation in the society,
but will simply state the position of the
suspended members and set them In the
right light before the public.
Members Ignorant Of State Of Affairs.
. AS evidence that the society needs a COM
plete reorganization it is pointed out that
the members of the organization at large
are in total ignorance as to the real state
Of affairs, and it is charged that 1t is the
policy of those now in control to keep dark
the real situation by making it appear that
the fight is on Miss Barton. None of the
Miss Barton either directly or by inference.
They have carefully refraned from doing
So it is said and have nothing but praise
for her and her. womanly devotion to the
cause she has made her life work. The
principal charge made against the present
controlling power is that some of the money
intended for relief work was diverted to
pay salaries, not to Miss Barton, but, in
some instances, to persons who had no part
in the work
Collection in New York.
Another matter that is exercising the
members of the association considerably
relates to the collection in New York of
about $12, 0OO also for the Galveston fund.
For two years past, 1t is charged, the So
cfety has been endeavoring to get report
as to what was done with this fund, with
out success. 1t is not charged that
there has been anything crimina|ly
wrong in the manner in which the
affairs of the society have been ad
ministered, but it is claimed that there
have been lax business methods, and that
bring about a reform AS stated. none OF
the suspended members of the society will
discuss this phase of the question at pres
ent, as they are more closely concerned in
having their side of the case, or rather
their position. fairly placed before the pub
lie. When this is done, they state, there
will be time for consideration of a reorgan-
iZation, but not until then.

A NIGHT PROMENADE.
After the Rain Was Over the Crowd

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

ATLANTIC CITY, April 16, 1903.
There was weeping on Easter Sunday,

of about one hundred thousand women

make individual triumphs and to assist in

But while the doWnpour spoiled the big
pageant as per schedule, there was a pa
rade that was not on the cards, but was
the most picturesque ever held on the
boardwalk or elsewhere, for that matter
In the early evening the clouds rolled
away the air cleared, the full moon rose
out of the ocean and the stars were as
brilliant as in southern skies. BY telepathy
or some other means the word flew along
the beach front that the parade would be
held under the stars. and within thirty
minutes the walk that had been deserted
was thronged with a brilliant crowd of
men and women The latter, for the most
part were hatless and in evening dress.
as were the men. The display of gowns
was the most gorgeous ever seen on the
boardwalk. and the jewels displayed on
fair necks and arms were worth the ran

probably unique-it was certainly never du-
plicated in this country.
