I.auds montreal polltenes..

To the Editor OF the Evening star:
l had the pleasure of being in Mon
treal during the International Roman
Catholic Eucharistic Congress, and de-
sire to express my appreciation of the
uniform courtesies which the citizens
extended to visitors, which were de-
cidedly pleasant and served as les
sons to those who benefited by those
courtesies.
The residents Of Montreal are said
to be noted for their hospitality, but
sometimes one is inclined to doubt
those hearsays, and it is only when
we have personal experience that we
believe. But the hearsays In regard
to the Montreal citizens are true, from
my own investigation and those Of
others who were there during my time.
II a stranger happened in the financial
district during the busy hours he had
no difficulty in getting the desired in
formation about directions to this or
that place, or even along the market
places, where courtesy is not looked
for ordinarily. 1t was just the same in
all parts of the city, on the trolley
cars, steamboats, and trains-all Of the
employees had time to explain matters
that were presented to them, and If
they could not give the information
themselves they saw to 1t hat it was
secured.
Then. again, there was a marked abb
sence of drunken men or rowdies in
the streets day or night, and at no
time did one hear any profanity or
coarse talk.
Another thing that was noticed dur
the last day Of the congress, was the

the former governor was ignored IN
the makeup Of the platform commit
tee, the men appointed being bitter
enemies of Progressive measures and

mitted a grave offense by asking the
Endorsement Of the Republican voters

for United States senator to succeed
Senator Kean. If the leaders of the
Regulars snub such prominent men in
their own ranks, what will they do to
Progressive candidates and measures?
Or candidates in the campaign for
nominations and our stump speakers
denounced the acts of the Regulars in
the last Legislature, their candidates
this year, the Payne-Aldrich tariff and
C~annonism, and they told us we could
not vote for candidates of the Regu-
lars. There are a great many Progress
sives who. like me, will not vote for
any Regular candidate at the Novem-
Der election, and our leaders will know
it after the ballots are counted.

Horn Code for Motorists.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Your reader has been in command of
motor-boats and cannot see why some
thing like the rules for them should not
apply to automobiles. For instance, at
a cross-road the automobilist, keeping
on the right of the road and going to
turn sharp to the right on the ap-
preaching road, should give one sharp
blast of his horn. If he is going to
turn to his left, thereby crossing the
approaching road, he should give two
sharp blasts of his horn, II he Is going
to keep straight on he should give three
sharp blasts of his horn.
The first one to blow could be &C
knowledged by the approaching auto
mobile with the corresponding number
of blasts, and then he would know his
intentions. This rule applies on the
water; why not on land? I think it
would eliminate a great danger.

A CRISIS.

The throne from which Manuel
of Portugal does most OF his reign
ing is said to be totterfng.
Carpenters of state are working
overtime putting new peers under
it, and perhaps the situation may.
be saved from a loud crash.
Manuel Is a heavyweight for
any throne, no matter how carefully
1t was selected or how much was
paid for It. He should not be held
entirely responsible, however. for
this sag.
It Is believed that the real I'M
dermining was done during the life
time of Manuers father. who would
have been a strain on most any
throne that was ever set up.
Friends of Manuel in this city
will be glad to learn that the crisis
has been passed, as he Is a HARM
less young man, and II he ever lost
that job might have difficulty in
securing another in his particular
line.
While he was undergoing his edu-
cation Manuel specialized in the
royalty business. and knows very
little else. There are few II any
positions in that profession open
just now. and quite a number OF
applicants have been IN line for
each possible place for a long time.
SO, everything considered, it is
just as well ManuePs advisers

possible for him to continue to live

HUDsoN CoUNTY,s NEW COURT HOUSE.

uu TDSON COUNTYS court house has been long a-bulding and
IL isn't vet completed. The ground was broken for the build
ing four years and six months ago and there had been a
DELAY of several years owing to conflicts of authority and litigation.
AS the work was prosecuted by a committee OF the Board or free
holders the inevitable scandals arose. 1t has been charged that
the construction cost about a million dollars more than 1T honestly
should cost, but there is no doubt that the county paid dear for it's
whistle. The quality of the work done is also to be demonstrated
by experience. But Hudson county has shown good enterprise in
getting a court house that in size, architecture and decoration
compares favorably with the Essex county court house, which
was built without a dollar of graft, because it was built by a com
mission independent of the Board of Freeholders.

THE LORIMER INVESTIGATION.

6N HE United States Senate committee to inquire into the cleo
ton of Senator LOrimer by the Illinois Legislature. has
ample powers, and if the committee fully exercises them the
truth about that scandalous election will be brought out in all
its hideousness. In the indictment and trial of several of the
Legislative boodlers many damnatory facts were brought out, and,
Though packed juries permitted the criminal legislators to go free,
their purchased leniency can have no effect on the Senate com
mittees conclusions. Crooked attorneys and jury fxers will play
no part in the investigation except, perhaps, to spirit witnesses
out of the way. If the half of what is alleged about the Lorimer
election be true the United States Senate will sacrifice its self.
Prospect and the respect of the nation if it permits Lorimer to
retain a seat procured by such means.

why Not End the Auto Smoke Nuisance.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There has recently been put in opera
ton In New York a regulation relative
to automobiles that could be applied to
Newark with every promise of remedy
ing u condition that is a general public
nuisance.
The regulation has to do with the
smoke that nan autos make in pass
ing through the streets. and besides
being decidedly Objectionable to people
who are obliged to be in the wake of
these cars, 1t has been shown that the
condition is entirely unnecessary.
Most of the nuisance is caused by
careless drivers flooding the engine
with oil and otherwise running to ex-
tremes In feeding the car with lubri-
cants and gasolene. The authorities in
New York now impose a fine upon n
driver whose car leaves a trail of the
ill-smelling smoke.
We have enough Of the same nuisance
In Newark to justify q similar regula-
ton, and the Board of Health or the
police would do well to consider the
matter. v. T.

BALLOONS MEASURE
VELOCITY OF WIND
Uncle Sam Sacrifices Flocks OF Them
at $50 Each To Conduct Weather
Experiments.

MT. WEATHER, Va. May Is
While high altitude observations are
made mostly with kites. the United
States weather bureau scientists nave
10 use balloons when the wind is too
light at the observatory. These are
red rubber balloons inflated with hy'
drogen. Each balloon is about three
feet tall when inflated. There Is
enough gas TO lift recording instru-
ments TO immense nights. With these
free balloons observations have been
taken at the immense hight Of II miles
80 900 feet-far above the point man
may attain and live.
The rubber balloons cost $50 apiece,
and as each balloon destroys itself IN
making successful flight, the cost or
furnishing balloons TO the scientists Is
considerable. Often eight or ten bal
looms a day are sent up.
The instruments on the balloon cost
SIS. The scientists at the station have
devised a neat plan for getting the
instruments back.
At the level of the ground there 10
heavy air pressure upon the inflated
balloon. AS the balloon rises this
pressure diminishes, and consequently
expands, increasing the size OF the
bag.
When the balloon reaches tremen-
dous hight this expansion is sufficient
to burst the balloon. Instantly the
instruments shoot toward the earth at
the start OF their 15-mile drop. Next
instant a parachute that had been tied
to the instruments opens and the val
liable freight drifts gently to the earth.
Anybody who finds the parachute
gets SO for notifying the station.
The station also gets observations

1877 MEN KILLED BY
EXPLOSION IN MINE
Wellington Coal Minis 10 Sealed To
Smother Flames That Have Been

WHITEHAVEN, Eng, May 13.-1he
Wellington coal mine was sealed to-
day to smother the flames that have
been sweeping through It's galleries

officials think they can put out the hre
without flooding the mine.
Throughout yesterday the rescue
parties made considerable progress In
