Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1890-07-26

The delay incident to the lowering and rails
ing of the gates was experienced by the public
ZIG times within these fourteen hours and
nearly 5000 pedestrians and considerably over
1000 vehicles were exposed to these delays
There was nothing to raise this days travel
above the average. The obstruction at this
crossing, as in the other Baltimore and Poto-
mac crossings, affects travel and traffic on the
river, tho going of business men to and from
the river front and the passage Of the 80. 900
people living south of the tracks to and from
the main city. No matter what the urgent need
Of haste such delays are liable to occur En-
gines on their way to burning houses in South
Washington have been stopped. Not only is
this crossing, like the others on the Baltimore
and Potomac, an obstruction, but il is q death
trap. Here the tracks branch off from Mary
land into Virginia avenue. There is no fenc-
ing. and the curling is low, while the tracks
are not filled IN. According to the record
above printed it appers that public
reservation 101. between 7th and 9Th
streets, which the road cuts in two, was
used fifty-one times on Tuesday for the pur-
pose of shifting cars and making up trains
This use of reservation and avenues is a direct
violation of law. but the reservation is the
roads regular shifting ground at this point A
number OF accidents resulting in death or
manning have occurred by reason of this il
legal shifting of freight cars between 9TH and
9th streets, and this portion of the road has
contributed its fair proportion 10 the $50 cases
Of death or serious accident at the Baltimore
and Potomac crossings
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1890-07-26
Written for THE EVENING STAR.
Old DAYS,

Written for THE EVENING STAR.
Old Days.
Old days, love you for the sunny fancies
You've woven for the grace of present days
The scent OF heliotrope and purple pansies
That rises from your shady woodla nd ways
Your light is meIowed to a faint reflection
That filters down the aisles Of retrospection.
You mind me of maiden with a candle,
Seen in the distant shadows of a hall,
Whose softly gliding, silent velvet sandal
Treads light as flower petals when they fall:
About whose face the shadows of her tresses
Float lovingly in wavering caresses.
love you for the old associations
Dear days. when !, a small, light. h earted lass
Went seeking for the scarlet wild carnations
And spider-ilios in the orchard grass;
And may-apples in tangled forest mazes
And long-stemmed columbine and white-frilled
daisies.
The ropes Of mist that linked the dewy ridges,
And hollows, moist and fragrant, lightly
SPAWNED,
Seemed to my youthful eyes like silver bridges
That reached unto the realms OF faryland
How many a fancy sweet as this Is ended
And dear old days, their charm and yours ar.
blended.
Old days, love you for your wholesome sweetness
That lays upon my heart its gracious spell,
And soothes away the sense OF incompleteness.
The secret Of whose power cannot tell
Old days, say, in fullness of conviction,
Your memory is like benediction.

Ashamed Of Their Own Jest.

On the Fourth Of July, after the air ship
ascension had proved q failure, q man
approached p. c. Campbell, the inventor, and
said: Mr.. Campbell, that was an excellent
ascension; allow me to express my appreciation
Of IT," and he deposited penny in Mr.. Camp
beHs hand Mr.. Campbell gravely thanked
him. and o second man came up and went
through the same proceeding, and was
followed by u third. Then they all enjoyed q
hearty laugh. The inventor calmly looked at
the three coins and remarked: well, you can
see that have some cents, and before I give
in ! will convince you have considerable. "
The trio were SO impressed with his reply
that they spologized for their rudeness and
expressed their belief in him.

Whisky Wanted in Norway.
From the London Daily News

From the London Daily News
The bona fide traveller in Norway appears to
suffer occasional inconvenience from the
stringency Of the local liquor laws. Mr.. Boyer,
in his Weekly News published at Bergen, has
invited English tourists to speak their minds
on this subject, and the result is rather ex-
tensive correspondence. One gentleman, who
signs with the inappropriate name of Waters, "
writes from Vossevangen to tell how his party
OF English tourists discussed the matter and
agreed that glass of whisky toddy all
round" would have tended to promote the fes-
tivlty Of their gathering, but even this pro-
fessed indulger IN might caps acknowledges
that the Norwegian legislature cannot be ex-
pected to make special exceptions in his be-
half: Another thinks that Inability to obtain
a glass OF spirits in a hotel would scarcely
deter any but an inveterate drunkard from
planning summer tour in Norway" While
u. E.B., )" who dates from Odde, suggests that
those who, like himself, take an occasional
glass of spirits and water should carry supply
with them.
