Sometime ago the CmT1c-REcoBD mildly
suggested that among the streets needing

oughfare.

eral weeks OF painful illness superinduced

THE CRITIC. RECORD would like to sug.
gest a reasonable theory that would prove
of incalculable advantage and tremend-
Gus enhancement in value of O certain
section of Southeast Washington, now
most grievously isolated on account of the
network of tracks of the Baltimore and
L OtOllldC IullTOuO--lDhJ leTTlUOTY lyluR 10
the south of said road situated between
Fifth and South Capitol streets. The ma
| jority of the travel from this region comes
| up Fourth street and New Jersey avenue,
| and the proposition is that the railroad
| crossings at these thoroughfares might be
| bridged in such manner that equestrian
| and pedestrian travel would always be
safe and uninterrupted. The grading and
| beautitylng of Garfield Park has made
| this an especially attractive resort, result
| ing in much travel over the New Jersey
| avenue crossing at this point Not only
| is this an exceedingly dangerous crossing
but, in addition, most aggravating periods
| of waiting have often TO be endured by
| persons in urgent haste. 1t was only a
short time since thai q physician receiving
| call to patient who was taken sud-
denly and dangerously i'll had to wait at
this place several minutes. The railroad
is necessity, of course, but bridge the
streets at the points suggested and a vast
| amount of inconvenience will be removed
and resultant increase in value Of prop
erty.
Mr.. Sullivan of 31l South Capitol street,
young and popular conductor on the
w. II q. r. r., is seriously i'll with pull
monary affection.
The many friends of Miss Clara Nc
Pherson of 413 Fourth street southeast
will be distressed to hear Of her being
stricken again with the prevailing
malady-the grip. Miss Mcpherson had
q severe attack of the same disease last
year.

casion being the celebration of the thirty

the church. The superintendent of the
Sunday-school, Mr.. Fl. A. Lngre, was in
charge of the exercises, and propounded
the query, "Who is the teacher who has
been associated with the Sunday-schooI
the longest ?" and the reply came from
the infant class, Mrs. Waison.n
Mrs. Watson has been teaching the one
class for the past twenty-five years and
| when called to the platform said that she
had taught the parents of large number
OF those who were now pupils in hel
class, etc. AT the conclusion of her re
| marks the lady, who is Jealous churcl
