with his betrothed talked freely of the ap-
preaching nuptiais. At about ten o'clock he

hour later il was discovered that the maid had
gone with him, taking all her clothing and
leaving note saying that before another hour
had elapsed she would be Wellington's wife.
The couple went directly to clergyman in
Stamford and were quietly married.

The Senate has wisely provided for another
Improvement of national concern, namely.
a survey for a suitable avenue to Mt. Vernon.
Although only twelve miles distant, it now re-
quires full day to reach this point of interest
and pilgrimage. The plan is to open a wide
avenue on the Virginia side of the Potomac and
provide 1t with driveway and railroad track,
which shall make it possible to reach Mt YER
non in half an hour.
Connected with this. il is proposed to erect a
bridge OF imposing architecture from a point
near the White House to Arlington This il
needed to make accessible that spot of intense
interest to the nation 1t is the point about
which the veterans and all their friends make
first inquiry. At present il can only be reached
by a drive of several miles. and at an expense
OF IS for carriage fees. The proposed bridge.
in connection with the projected Mount YER
non avenue, would place this national GENE
terry and park within easy walking distance of
the hotels, and within ten minutes ride by
street cars.
The survey ordered will probably lead the
next Congress to begin the work on the bridge
and the avenue. The Rock Creek park has
good chances at the present session. and it will
be a certainty during the next Congress if the
present does not conclude to take the credit of
It, The condemnation and purchase of lands
south of Pennsylvania avenue and the hall OF
records with an audience chamber adequate for
all public occasions, should become certainties
during President Harrison's administration.
