the driver.
aDon't you try to run over me"
retorted the pedestrian.
The conversation took place at a
muddy crossing on Western Avenue
between the red whiskered driver OF
delivery wagon and red-boned
man with basket on his arm. The
latter, to avoid being run over, had
seized the horse by the bride and
stopped the animal with a sudden
ness that nearly threw the driver off
his seat.

want to be run overl" yelled the red
whiskered jehu.
"My friend" answered the man on
the crossing still holding the horse
by the bits, don't you know that
this crossing belongs to the people

TENALLYTOWN RAILROAD.
The Report of the Directors Submitte
To the COmDany.

The Report of the Directors Submitted
to the Company.
The report as read yesterday by Presi
dent Drum of the Georgetown and Tenally-
town Railway Company shows the enter
prise to be in fourishing condition.
The amount received from all sources up
to and including December 81, 1890,
amounted to S2lS,243.06, while the
expenditures from the date of incorpora-
ton up to December 81, 1890, amounted
to s226,967.17. The cost of constructing
and equipping the road exceeded its capt
tai stock by IS, 1911, but the earnings of
the road exceeded its operating expenses
by nearly s2,4O0. The total number of
passengers carried from April &C. 1880, to
December 81, 1S90-practically eight
months-was $4,000. The highest num-
Der carried in any one month was in Au-
gust, when there were transported &C, 03S
people.
When 1t is remembered that from the
commencement of operations to the middle
of September they had not to exceed four
cars with which to do the business of the
road, and for long portion Of this time,
and that, too, the busiest of the season,
not over three cars, one can readily
see how severely the plant was tested.
The railway has been completed from
Water street in Georgetown to the District
line, the terminal points fixed in the
charter, and the cars are now and have
Tor some time been running between these
DCints

II has often been stated as n curious
fact that japanese women don't know
how to kiss, and on this point a retired
Navy officer tells of an experience had
some thirty years ago with charming
japanese girl with whom he had become
quite smitten. He says: IL was night
that would have spurrcd the most timid
love to action; and inside an hours
quarter | had my olive-complexione
fairy waist-encircled and her head resting
lightly on my shoulder. Then, Boswell,
i kissed her. Who wouldn't? You're
right, sir. No one but blind man whose
time on this planet was long overrun. She
seemed bit surprised Bat she made no
objection, and so ] kissed her again and
then again. But she did not return my
chaste salute. She just nestled little
closer to me, that's all.
At last got tired Of making all the
demonstration. / wanted her to do her
share But as she seemed unlikely to do

of her helping me out. She asked me

Asked me what forl l inquired If she
didn't like IT,. She didn't know. Then |
inquired II she disliked it. She didn'
know. She had never had any one 90 T.
before and had never tried to kiss any one
herself. told her to try IL once for luck
But she said she couldn't. Boswell, you
could have knocked rue down with n
feather.
However, recovered myself and tricl
TO teach her. She was willing pupil
but beyond getting her to pucler her lips
/ couldn't make her gor The kiss was be-
yond her. She would blow through her
lips or draw in good-sizcd breath. But
kiss she could not. Well, Boswell, | am
not one to give up without struggle.
And was not then. So taught and
taught and taught, but it was no use.
She Just couldn't that's ALL

TRYING LIQUOR CASES.
The Story of u Quintette of Your
Tnnars


Topers.
Timothy Il. Whelan was tried in the
Criminal Court to-day for keeping an un-
licensed bar at 1855 Fifteenth street north
west in July last.
The prosecution presented very weak
case, and, on instruction of Justice Hag-
ner, the jury returned verdict of not
guilty.
After the Whelan case Justice Hagner
went to the General Term to conduct u
case, while Judge Montgomery succeeded
him in the Criminal Court.
The next case taken up was that of
Thomas J. Mason, who keeps saloon at
Four-and-a-half and + streets southwest,
charged with selling liquor to minors on
July 10 last. Five little boys appeared as
witnesses against Mason. Clarence Dom
nelly, bright 12-year-old lad, testified that
he bought five bottles of beer from Mason
on the date above mentioned. He told
Mason that his father wanted the beer,
ana upon procuring it he took it to sta
ton House alley, where, in company with
the other young topers, the beer was con.
sumed. 1t appeared that precocious
beer drinker of - years named Frank
Langlein, who was also placed on the
stand, had stolen fifty cents from lady,
and set up the drinks for the boys and
sent Donnely after the liquor.
The next witness, littleWillie Lewis, who
never goes to Sunday but knows
that he won't go to Heaven if he tells a
lie, said that he was one of the five boys,
and that in the course of their tipping
they drank about thirty-six bottles.
William Lewis, colored youth, but no
relation to Willie and Charles Butts, who
ran away to Alexandria this morning,
formed the remainder of the quintette
that carroused in Station-Hou Alley.
The counsel for the defense claimed that
the Donnely boy had not bought beer at
Mason's place on July TO- but that it was
procured by the boy Butts, whom it was
customary for older persons to send foI
beer, and that Mason sold it in perfect
good faith

about the same time that 1t would take to

either. At the first touch Of my instru-
ment on the sore spot have known big

perfect rage of anger. And after they had
been cosxed, soothed and wheedled, like
great babies, to submit to the necessary

TO REVISE PRINTERS WAGES.
The Government Printing Office Dis
Cussed in the Senate To-day.


The Government Printing Office Dis
cussed in the Senate To-day.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. German called
certain employees in the Government Print
ing Office.
The Committee on Printing had reported
a substitute allowing 20 per cent. addi-
tional pay for night work.
Mr.. German explained the difference
between the House bill and the substitute
and expressed his preference for the
former, which was, practically, paym ,nt
by the hour instead of by the peace.
Mr.. Cullom took the same position.
Mr.. Henderson, chairman of the Com
mittee on Printing, expressed his surprise
Mt the position taken by his colleague on
the committee (NIr, Germany. whom he
had supposed to have favored the substi-
tute.
The House bill, he said, proposed to
restore the wages paid to printers, book
binders and pressmen to the rate of fifty
cents an hour, or from 25 to so per cent.
over the present rate; The present pay
was by the thousand ems. He did not
artisans in the Public Printing Office
had any cause of complaint either
as to the justice or generosity of Con-
gress. Their compensation exceeded that
paid in the average printing Offices. Two
or three years ago they were allowed by
Congress an annual leave of fifteen days
with full pay, which increased the appro-
priation over 100000.
AT the very next session of Congress, a
demand had been made for thirty days
leave, as given to the Department clerks,
and 1t was accorded to them at a cost to
the Government of some $240,000 year.
He thought that then there would be,
for time, cessation of hostilities, and
that Congress would not have further
had come to the House the de-
mand which had resulted in the
pending bill, on the claim that the Gov
eminent Printing Office employees were
more poorly paid than in other parts OF
the country, and that the cost of living in
Washington was greater than anywhere
else in the United States.
He took issue with both of these posi-
tons. From the most distant parts of the
country there were constant applications
to Senators and Members to procure EN-
ployment for them in the Government
Printing Office, but the supply was
greater than the demand. Ungracious as il
was, unpleasant as it was, to refuse the
requests of these employees, it was the high
lie interests, that he should not succumt
to clamor; that he should not bow dowr
to a demand which was not founded in
equity and good conscience. and was moi
founded in right. He hoped that thu
Senate substitute would be agreed to.
Mr.. Cullom advocated the cause of tn,
printers, and submitted the points of tn,
non-permanency of their employment "a,
compared with those working in privat,
establishments and of their having to g
home to vote.
The matter was not disposed of when
at 2 o'clock, the Elections bill was laid be
fore the Senate.

Cigarette Consumption Cured.

The secdy one struck Liberty Enlight-

"And ], madame, have discovered a
cure for cigarette consumption. 1t is a
secret that keep locked in my overcoat
breast pocket. But common humanity
demands that save your son from his
fate. | am essentially an after-dinner
speaker however"
The woman gave sim a square meal,
and after the chap he'd distended himself
to terrible degree, he wrote few magic
words on piece of paper, breathed on it
and handed IL to his hostess with the mo-
milton: "Open it in three minutes. 1t is a
sure cure. Good-by." Then he went
away quickly.
The paper when opened disclosed the
words: xiii the boy"
But the philanthropist had drifted
thence.
