Baseball Once More.

Some of the stereotyped signs of
spring have been a bit shy about
coming forward this season; where
fore Ii is good that, whatever frost
bites may befall the initial robin,
or however the crocuses may be dis
couraged by wrong font tempera-
lures, the baseball opening is no
movable feast. 1t comes at a fixed
time. and It is a surer sign of spring
than any other. The calendar is
utterly unworthy of credence-es-
pecially this year-and Easter is
only generalization; but the call
to PLAY ball" is a reliable sign of
the times.
Washington lost the first game.
A good omen, according to people
who have lunches and such like.
We hope their hunch is right this
time. We have hoped so for 10
these sundry seasons, and it has
ever been the hope that, long de-
ferred, maketh the fan heartsick.
But it is impossible for any run
OF luck-even bad luck-to last for
ever. Washington has been strug-
Cling for decades against a fate that
seemed to have consigned her to a
tail-end situation. She has been the
citizens on foot" in the baseball
procession. There is no reason for
it, either. The town Is the best
baseball community, population con-
sidered, In the country. Its loyalty
is beyond all encouragement. its
enthusiasm is never TO be trusted
with weights on the safety valve. and
its faith in the home team is OF the
variety that moves mountains. Some
day, some day of days, this old
town is going by some lucky chance
to get a real, winning team; a pen
nant aggregation; and then there
are going TO be sensational doings
1t is not to say that anything of
| the sort is to happen this year
That's different Prophecy is danger
Gus, except Of the ex post facto sort
and that would never be allowed by
the constitutional lawyers who hold
sway these days. But, still, in the
glad, new hOpefulness Of the bud
ding percentage table. we venture
TO make just enough prediction to
warrant US, IN case things go right
in indulging later the pleasing re-
trospection that "we told you so.
For some day, somehow, Washing
ton is going to get a team that will
cut the ice. Why not this year;
Why not?

The Atonement.

The performance Of The Atonement."
Coleridge-Taylor's composition. viii be
given next Wednesday evening in the
First Congregational Church by the
society which bears The composers
name. Much interest centers in this
presentation for the reason that every
one Of the preceding recitals by this
choral society has been marked by IN
usual success in every way. The
chOruses were always well drilled. each
part being admirably sustained and for
the coming recital additional care has
been taken that this may even surpass
other work of the organization.
Coleridge- -Taylor's version Of The
Atonenent'' IS something quite different
from what is usual. He has not used
Biblical words for a setting. but has
been supplied with words by Miss Alice
Parsons. The work vas written for and
first performed at the Hereford. Eng
land. Festival, in September. 1876. Since
which time IT has been rendered many
times IN England. Its first American
reading was given by the Church Choral
Society at ST. Thomas Church, New
York city. February. I904. upon a nota-
bic occasion There is the greatest in
terest on the part OF musicians. and
music lovers TO hear the work
A fine audience is already assured by
the advance subscription for seats. At
the opening last Saturday. a long line
was in waiting 10 secure seats for them
selves and frierds. and when they were

Well Worth the Money.

A disposition appears IN some
quarters 10 sneer at the work OF the
United States Weather Bureau, and
to protest at the request of its chief,
Willis L. Moore, for an annual in
crease of s126, 900 for the lettering OF
its service. There are those who as
sert that the bureaus claim Of SS per
cent of correct prophecies is farcical
on the face of things, and who de-
mand proof in the shape of tabu-
lated record OF instances showing ex-
actly what the weather bureau has
been able to accomplish in this direc-
tion during a given period.
Few are the observers who are
prepared to argue the question Of the
correctness of the weather forecasts
It is easy, when an unprotected rain
happens to ruin a new suit or a
dream of q hat, to denounce Moore
and all his works, and Just as easy,
on the other hand, to forget benefits
received in the shape of correct
prophecies. So far as percentages are
concerned, the goOse-bone. the
ground hog, or the weather sharp of
Slocum's Corner may have as ad-
mirable a record for aught we know.
But one thing is absolutely certain,
that the storm warnings sent out by
the Weather Bureau are Of the great
est value to shipping along our
Eastern coast. There is no question
that millions of dollars worth OF
property and hundreds of lives are
saved every year by the splendid
service given to navigators. Even If
the department does cost a million
and a half dollars year, we can
think Of no branch of Government
service that is better worth it for
this feature alone.

LADY COOK SENDS

New York, April I4-Mrs. Olive

next week to a place down town where
she can be near the public Libraries,
where she likes 10 spend her time.
Mrs. Logan said that she knew Lady

The Choral Society.

The Choral Society concert at the D.

interest IN the community. and a large
sale Of tickets is expected Arrane.,
ments have been made whereby any ac-

Deals 10 that portion OF the Washington
music-loving public which is specially
interested In works which exists within
the special provinces of the society, TO
give its hearty support 10 this sole Of
fering OF the Choral Society this season.
This plea IS made not so much because
OF the immediate financial aid Il will

that they have undertaken, and in pIac-

years still greater works with even bet

Growing Capitol Hill.

Attention is directed by the exer-
cises of yesterday afternoon to the
noble and artistic group of buildings
which will soon crown Capitol Hill.
In the course Of the next few years
four imposing structures, generally
related In design, will face each other
the great Capitol, the new Library,
and two Congressional Office build
ings. 1t is not at all impossible that
In the future fifth may be erected
for the accommodation of the United
States Supreme Court.
This group may well make Ameri-
cans proud. The Capitol is one of the
few American triumphs OF architec-
ture. It's general artistic quality is

ment embodied in the park commits
sion plans. No other single struc-
tlre in the country, not even except
ing independence Hall and Faneuil
Hall, is the object of so much vener-
alton and affection from living
American citizens. 1t is the center
Of the Nations political life. How
well 1t Is. then. that it is not less
notable In appearance than in asso-
ciationsi
The one rival of the Capitol in
Washington is the Library of Con-
gress. Designed TO be less conspicu-
Gus than the Capitol, it is still one
of the finest architectural adornments

or any other. That 1t cost $50, 600
less than the estimates and was
finished ahead of time gives il extra
interest, hut 1t has an impressiveness
which is entirely independent of those
considerations.
Now the President has laid the
cornerstone for the third building.
It will be keyed still lower than the
Library, but, like it, will yet be one
Of the notable structures in a city

To Edit the Building Rules.

Much good can come of the ap-
pointment by the District Commis-
sioners of a committee of ten citi-
zens to edit the present building reg
ulations. At present the manual is
obscure, sections of IT are mutually
contradictory, there is much re-
dundancy in it, and the understand
ing of it by builders and owners is,
in consequence, decidedly vague. A
simple readjustment of the regula-
tions so as TO eliminate their quail
ties as bad copy"-to use news
paper phrase-will alone prove a
great help to the whole community,
Further than that, as the Engineer
Commissioner has said, regulations
of this character should be thorough
ly reviewed every few years, because
of the change in the character of con-
struction material, and for other
reasons" There is, indeed, no little
dissatisfaction with the substance of
the present rules. Responsible busi-
ness men. beyond the suspicion of
deliberately seeking to commit fraud
by selling as sound structures build
ings which have been badly put to-
gether. have felt for years the need
for tightening the restrictions in sew
eral respects. On the other hand, 1t
is known fact that the old reguIa-
tons did not compel provision for
sufficient light and afr. That defect
has been remedied by the last amend
ment TO the manual. but in the judg-
ment Of real estate men and con-
tractors it had several parallels
which have not been touched.
The ten men chosen by the Com
missioners represent all classes Of
citizens interested in building opera
tions and abundant knowledge of the
problems which those regulations in
volve- They are surely counting
upon, as they have right confident
ly to expect, the help of the efficient
Building Inspector. His long expert
ence with the architects, contractors,
sanitary experts, and business men
of the community should help the
committee greatly to adjust its sew
eral points Of view and conform its
several opinions.
Finally, it is TO be noted that
these ten citizens must serve without
pay. That most of them will accept
the responsibility under such circum-
stances goes without saying. Yet the
service must be expected to take
much time and try the patience
severely. This is the kind of labor
for the general welfare which good
citizens should be ready to perform
at all times. OF it in the District,
there has been so far an abundant
supply. The old board of school trus-
tees and the present Board of Chari-
ties are instances enough and it may
be expected with all confidence that
this new board will take rank with
them.

A Horses Hands and Feet

Now the horse never puts his heel on
the ground nor even the ball of his foot.
He stands up on the very tip Of his toes,
and this is in part, the reason why he
can trot so fast. Dobbin's heels are
half way up his hind legs, anu what we
call lis knees are really his wrists. The
part corresponding to the upper arm is
short, and is 50 imbedded in the mus
clcS of the shoulder that the elbow
comes next tue body, But the horse has
only one digit on each limb, and the
wrist bones are comparatively small.
The so-called ankle, then, is the knuckle
where the digit joins the hand or the
foot, aud the foot" is only single thick
finger or toe. with great nail for a hoof
The lower half of the horses FIRE leg is
really Il gigantic hand with only the mid
die of the palm, while the correspond
ing part of his hind leg is a big, single

Irish Ancestry of Addicks

One Of the guests at dinner of the
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick was ]. Ed
ward Addicks, of Delaware, who based
his right to be present upon the fact
that HIS grandmother was an O'Sullivan.
Mr. Aidicks' lull name, 10y the way, is
John Edward O'Sullivan Addicks.
He displayed with pride ring of gold
set with Il fiat amethyst on which was
engraved the = Sullivan coat of arms.
The strange feature of the ring was that
it was hollow. being really Golden
tube. Mr. Addicks said the ring Was
hollow because in the days when It as
made gold was worth more than labor
Now the same amount of labor expended
on the ring was worth much more than
the gold, so rings are now made solid.
He said the ring had been in his family
more than 400 years
