Trueman Lanham, superintendent of park
ing, the Commissioners yesterday declined
to consider a claim for damages 10 her
home and injuries to herself presented by
Mrs. NJ V. Eagan OF IS I street northeast.

that a tree was blown against her home
during recent storm. but this Mr. Lam
ham declared. could not be charged as neg
Hgence against his department or against
the District, because no complaint had ever
been registered against the tree nor was
there anything to show that Il was in a
condition dangerous to life and limb.

 RICH MEN LIKE SAVAGFS.

The Englishman who travels to Scot land first-class in order to have "a car- Iriage to himself all the way'' may be a very nice fellow, but no one can de- scribe him as cizilized man. He is ! yielding to the savage shyness the skulking isolation, of an OjibWay. The same man has always terror lest strangers should speak to hlm--a thing which is the mark of undeveloped and illiterate tribesmen all over the world. Anyone who compares a third-class carriage full of oigarchs will at once realize that the primary difference con- sists simply in the fact that the third- class carriage is more civilized than the tirstcass carriage; that is to say, it is | more social, more of a community. If you emptied that third class carriage , into field it's occupants could make d
 picnic. If you carried that third-olass i carriage through the air to desert is- | land it's occupants could make a nation. t, They are used to talking with each oth-

pay of Germany. The Germans, says this authority, have from time to time given Raisuli excellent advice to refrain from interfering with Europeans and European property, but he has paid lit- tie attention to it. The Tangier dis tricts, he asserts, are neither safer nor more unsafe than they have been for the last few years, and the question of the conference has had no effect G.le way or the other, as the Moors regard the proceedings with indifference. If any opposition is made eventually to the police it will be owing to the re- strictions placed on the tribesmen, and not to the fact that the police are French or Spanish.
 Perhaps this is as true as any of the news that comes from Tangier.

THE WORST OYER.

The worst seems to be over in San Francisco, and mat worst is so bad that it is indescrlbable, if not unthinkable. We shall now soon know the full ex- tent of the disaster, and we shall also see as we are already seeing, the mag nificent generosity and helpfulness of the people of this country. Everything that can be done for the sufferers is being done San Francisco is far away from some of the rich and generous parts of the country, but railroad trains will go fast on their mission of mercy, and there will be food and shelter for the hungry and homeless before any great misery can come from the lack of them, And sooner than now seems pos sible the great work of rebuilding the city will begin. In the end, dreadful as the situation now is, there will prob ably be better and safer city than the one that has been devastated.
 Reckoning up the losses of life and property and cleaning up the ruins will be most melancholy work. But life must go on in spite of the attacks made on it. Lisbon still exists and fourishes, though in 1755 1t was shak- en by an earthquake which was fol- lowed by fire that burned for six days. Nearly sixty thousand lives were lost in Lisbon and its neighborhood.
