Daniel S. Lamont.

Colonel Lamont. within the sphere of his
activity. was an accomplished and useful
man. Ii is true, too. that no man was
ever saner on the subject of his own capac-
tiles He worked contentedly and sue
cessfully at those things he best under
stood and never listened seriously to temp
tations to go outside of them. Now and
then. when political speculation ran high
and all sorts of stories were afoat, his
name would appear a gubernatorial and
even a presidential quantity. But he
treated all such suggestions lightly and
brightly. and knew both their origin and
their value He wholly above the
weakness of taking himself too seriously,
or al a false valuation.
The office In which Colonel Lamont was
introduced to national life he filled per-
fcctly He was indeed the Ideal private
secretary. He had tact and industry. and
loyalty, and wonderful shrewdness. Both
his political and his journalistic training
stood him well In hand at the White House,
and particularly after Mr.. Cleveland had
chilled his party and made enemies of most
of its leaders. The sole connecting link at
that time between the President and the
democracy was this man, who possessed
the art of Cancellation, of listening and
reply, and whose influence over his chief
was very great. He patiently examined ali
grievances. made judicious reports. and
here and there brought little order out
of an angry chaos. Mr. Cleveland owed
him much and In that case paid his debts.
Since his retirement from political office
Colonel Lamont had addressed himself to
business affairs. and. of kind which
brought into play the strong points OF his
intellectual and temperamental equipment
The large affairs of the railway world, with
It's combinations and negotiations. gave
him room for the exercise of his insinuating
address and diplomacy. and he hourished
there even as he had done In the field Of
politics. And all his friends rejoiced In his
deserved prosperity.
During his eight years residence in WASH
ington Colonel lamont made many friends.
He was particularly pleasant 10 members
of the press. and memories of his thought
fulness and kindnesses to them must be
very many.

The Anacostia Car Service

Il satisfactory adjustment of the Anacos-
tia street car problem seems to have been
secured in the resumption OF the through
car service over the bridge. for which the
residents OF the trans-branch community
were contending. Under the new arrange
ment, which Is restoration of old condl-
tions. each car is operated continuously
over the bridge from the tracks beyond
Thus. II any car contains more than forty
passengers the excess number must alight
when the bridge is reached. Today's news
reports indicate that this rule has worked
satisfactorily during the first hours of the
new arrangement, the surplus patronage
being in an accommodating mood. Whether
this spirit of accommodation will prevail
during the heavy rush hours or at the
times OF the crowding OF the cars with a
more or less disorderly element on the way
to or from a certain pleasure resort in the
Anacostia 'hinterland." remains to be seen.
Indeed, there are possibilities of trouble
in the case as II stands, and the substitu-
ton of the through-car service for the half
shuttle plan may prove after all TO be only
an invitation To more serious blockades than
that of the other night II the European
system prevailed In this country there would
be little difficulty I'm handling the case. In
Paris. for example, there is no car crowd
ing, because the laws forbid. and the laws
are respected over there. The passengers
are accommodated in the order of arrival

A Simple Family Funeral"

there are a-plenty. We get them from St
Petersburg Berlin. Paris. London and
Vienna All are coIored by the surround

each that the other suggested the meeting.
The United States Is not excited on the sub
Ject. Interest over here attaches TO the
Portsmouth meeting. which is near at hand.
The general purpose Of that is peace be-
tween Russia and Japan. and what the

The kaiser's first thoughts are. and al

OF what is necessary to keep the empire
strong and fit for its duties are rejected by
a powerful party in the reichstag.
Still we may credit the kaiser with broad
views at this particular time. The czar
has done well to consult him. and PROBABLY
has received some good and unselffsn ad-
vice. II is a case of a weak man appealing
to a strong man. The kaiser is not COM

Water Waste.

that Col Leach leans 10 a system of don1i-
clliary correction through the inspection

there is an inordinate use Of water in the
residences. stating that the measured sup

then 1t must be admitted that there is
something wrong with the plumbers of the
capital. well perhaps with the water
users.
This is a process of elimlnat ton. The
opponents of general compulsory metering
long ago insisted upon the proof that the
government departments are not the chief
offenders. The report now in hand seems
or its surface to show. but does not in
truth show, that there Is ground for
this suspicion against the public offices.
There may be leaky spigots in those build
ings as well as in the residences
When the leaky spigots have been elimi-
mated and the wasteful hose users have
been disciplined. and the leaky mains re-
paired. and the all-nght open taps have
been closed by law. there may still be an
unusually heavy per capita consumption of
water in the District. 1t cannot then be
laid TO the householders unless 1t Is claimed
that they are entirely too clean.

From the New York Tribune.
Yellow fever having with nut doubt OBJ
tanned a foothold in New orleans, the au-
thorities of that city are trying to keep
the trouble within the narrowest possible
limits. Press dispatches announce that
persons who exhibit symptoms of the dis
ease are being isolated. Well, Isolation
would be ineffective unless 1t had one par
ticular accompaniment. If victims are so
shielded with netting that mosquitoes can
not become infected by biting them. actual
removal to a hospital will not be requisite.
On the other hand, transfer to a special in
stitution would do little good unless the ex-
pedient just mentioned were also adopted.
New cases are being discovered from day
to day, and, though the number is small,
it does not look as If the policy of re-
striction had been enforced as. vigorously
