THE FINCASTLE ROAD.
Three Miles Already Graded and the Work
Moving Right Along.

moving N1ShC Along.
The Fincastle railroad is moving right
along. Over three miles of the road
have been graded, and three different
gangs of'men are at work on two miles
more that arc partly graded. Mr.. Hous-
ton expects to reach the terminus of the
Fincastle branch in sixty days and have
the road all ready for the track.
The contract for supplying ties was
awarded yesterday to Geo. .. Houston
& Co., who also have tho contract for
laying the track. 1t is expected that
track on the eleven miles of the road, as
soon as the grading is completed, will be
laid in from fifteen to twenty working
days. Tracklaying will commence at
tho Cloverdale end and be pushed
through to Fincastle with all possible
dispatch. BY commencing tracklaying
from tho junction of the Shenandoah
Valley the work of unloading the rails
will be obviated, as tho rails can be
taken direct from the cars and laid on
the ties.

pounds Of lead. The storage tank is
admirably located and the water will
have two hundred feet fall to the town
level. This will give hundred pounds
pressure and will be ample to success
fully operate water motors for light
manufacturing.
Miss Eleanor Durham, young lady
residing at Accotink, seventy miles
below Alexandria, was drowned at Col
onial Beach last Saturday. She was
crossing the gang plank to the steamer,
when she missed her footing and fell
into the water between the steamer and
the wharf. Her companion, Mr.. Stout,
jumped in to save her, but could not
find her body, and not being able to
swim he narrowly escaped drowning.

A LADY DENTIST.
Experiences of a Woman in New Field
of Work for The Sex.

Experiences of a Woman in a New Field
of Work for The Sex.
On the front of modest house in quiet
neghborhood black oval sign bore in gilt
lettering an inscription indicating that within
could be found female. Thoughts of big
man with bowling t0othache rushing in to
be relieved of his misery by pretty, soft
handed woman at once flashed through the
reporters mind. But when the door was
opened by little woman with the brightest
of faces and clearest of compilations almost
her first words showed the reporter that his
thoughts were fallacious.
81 do not extract teeth, except of children
and schoolgirls" the little woman said.
"Dentistry is now divided up into specialties,
like all other professions. Now, do not think
it is because | am woman that don't pull
teeth. There are three men dentists within
block of me who, as rule, do not extract
teeth. Indeed, the newer practice of dentistry
is to save the aching tooth, even when ap-
parently hopeless case. 1t is hard work,
but 1 do not see that it affects my nerves or
health nor acts so much on my sympathies as
other things do A professional woman with
an office at home in the midst of family life
has much to divide her attention and to oc
cupy her as woman that a man dentist is
not usually hampered by l was one of the
first four women admitted to Columbia Col
lege. applied to another school for admis-
sion, and, although they had announced with
a flourish that they would not discriminate
against my sex, l was refused
''Do you belong to the Dental Society?''
'Well, no. l have not applied, for hear
from good authority that woman dentist of
my acquaintance has applied and been refused
because some of the conservative old fossils
objected. Isn't it funny the way we women,
now that all the doors to professional knowl-
edge are open to us, are denied all the benefits
of cOnldraderje as soon as we get out into the
world, except on sex lines? That is, women
in pure self-defense have to get up clubs and
societies of their own, when a union of the
forces of men and women in the same line of
work would make one stronger club and men
and women become better acquainted with one
another than they now are. Hence prefer to
stay out and ask no one for admission until
men come to their senses and give us cordially
and manfully equal opportunities with them
selves. The professors who opened the way
for us into the college will have to go little
further and open the dental societies to us
also.
''There is plenty of room for women den
lists and plenty of people who even prefer
them to men. Women require more dentistry
work than men, not that they eat too much
sugar, only that there is an organic tendency
to decay in the teeth of women. / don't pre-
tend to account for it,"
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-04-12

does seem to me that now is the time to i'm
press on their minds that they want to be as
honest, as brave, and as God-fearing as was the
man whose name they bear.
There is great deal in name and l can
perfectly understand people applying to the
Legisasure to have it changed sometimes. If
l was man 1 wouldn't want to be named Al
gernon, nor l wouldn't want to have any idiotic
family name taken from "Burkes Peerage"
and given to me. Being a woman, wouldn't
even curse q cat by naming it Maud, or Cora,
or Ida, or Blanche. There may be good women
who have borne such names, but they must
have had wills of iron to combat the influence,
and women with wills of iron are not usually
agreeable women.
NAMES THAT ARE NTIsNoMERs.
Fancy great-grandmother being named
Maud.
Fancy Martha Washingtons name having
been Cora
Fancy woman who devotes her life to nurs-
ing the sick and working among the poor be-
ing called Ida!
And fancy, if you can a pass6 old lady with
false teeth, bleached hair, and a complexion
that comes from makeup box addressed as
Blanche. Why, you can't fancy it to save
your soul
Fancy good carpenter named Algernon
Fancy an honest cashier named Clarence
Fancy an elevator man named Guy!
Fancy q decent, law-abiding citizen who
votes the Democratic ticket supports his own
wife, and takes care Of his children called
Percy You had much better name him We're
de We're at once; let him wear freckled shirt
and suck at the top of a cane.
What kind of names do like for women
Names that they won't be ashamed of when
they grow old
What kind do I like for men? Those that
suggest manliness and honesty and honor.
No niclnames? Well, now, if you love
James you are going to call him ''Jim;' if you
love John you are going to call him "Jack;"
if you love Thomas you are going to call him
"Tom;" if you love Frederick you are going to
call him erred, and if you love William you
are going to call him ''Will.n But these are
our own special names, and not the ones for
the use of the world at large. Somebody
laughs and looks very knowing at the idea Of
a short name-but you needn't be so personal
my name is Barbara, but am always called

THE FLATS OVENIENT.
Bad Results of the Neglect of Congress to
Make appropriations.

Said an old river-front man: ''It was a
strange lack of foresight on the part of Con
gress in neglecting to make an appropriation
for the continuation of the work on the Poto-
mac Flats. Maj. Haines ought to know best
what amount is needed for carrying on the
work for the fiscal year, andit is unfair to pre-
suppose that he would have asked for more
than he needed. The work has already been
greatly delayed by insufficient appropriations,
and the engineer has at times, for lack of
funds, been compelled to resort to makeshifts.
have been economy to appropriate a sum sufii-
cient to push forward the dredging and filing
rapidly, for if the work proceeds by fits and
starts the silt sifts in rapidly, which in turn
must be remoyedin the future, and, moreover,
year as has happened for two or three seasons
past, it will undo a large proportion of the
work already done.'
