THE GREAT FALLS RAILWAY.


Today the engineering forces of the Washing
| ton and Great Falls Railroad Company are at
work making the final surveys and preparing
plans and specifications for the Immediate
construction of the road, which will
be pushed to completion without an
other days delay. The route selected as
heretofore mentioned in TIE STAR, has
the District terminus at the Aqueduct bridge
reaching that point from the high ground above
by means of an elevated structure. The route
which by actual measurement is twelve miles
long, will be laid with double track in the
center of public boulevard $50 feet wide and
lighted throughout its entire length by cleo
| tricity.
Negotiations for the furnishing of the rolling
stock are being earnestly entered into and con-
tracts will be signed within few weeks.
BY the terms of the charter work must be
commenced by the 29th of July, but it is
thought that the greater part OF the tracks will
be LAID ere that day comes round.
During the past month 100000 worth of lots
on the Conduit road between the Palisades of
the Potomac Companys property and the
subdivision of Hurst and Clark were sold, and
on most all these lots fine houses will be erected
at once.
WORK on THE HIGH SERVICE PUMP HOUSE.
Work on the high service pump house located
! next to the distributing reservoir began this

A Newsdsaior Pays For a Libel.

A libel case somewhat similar to that
which Messrs. w. H. Smith successfully
defended the other day has just come
before one of the correctional courts in
Paris. NJ. de Sesmaisons, a former min
lister plenipotenhary Of the French re
public at Hayh, at present residing in
Paris, was annoyed at some comments
upon his conduct while in America that
appeared in the New York Tribune. The
article spoke vaguely of his having ac-
quired a certain notoriety and of his be-
ing irresponsible for his actions in the
eye of the law,
As the New York Tribune has no prop.
erty in France, NJ. de Sesmaisons judged
it was useless to proceed against that
paper. but he decided to indict NJ. Bron.
tano, the proprietor Of the Anglo.
American library in the Avenue de
rOpera, where copies Of the offending
number were sold. The plaintiff asked
for $4,000 francs damages.
Without admitting so extravagant a
claim, the court condemned the unfor.
tuuate news agent, who quite possibly
cannot read English, to pay 5000 francs
to the plaintiff, as well as a fine Of 10C
francs, and to insert the terms of the
Judgment in any 10 newspapers NJ. de
Sesmaisons may select.-London News.

1RAclNe ONES ANCESTRY.


GeneaIogy Appears to BE a One Sided and
Partial Thing.
A conversation among a group of peo-
pie the other day, all of whom were of
good New England families, brought out
some curious admissions. Only one of
the party could trace his descent, in the
line Of motheTS farther than to his grand
mother, though several could trace it
very much farther in the paternal line,
and even in what they called the ''ma-
ternal line," which meant of course the
mothers fathers family. All present
could tell the maiden name of their moth
ers mother, but only one could tell the
maiden name of her mother. OF course
many in New England among those gem
ealogically careful people who can tell
you the names of all their 16 great great
grandfathers and grandmothers can do
this, but these are comparatively few.
And those who cannot carry back the
line of mothers more than three genera
tions include the representatives of some
Of the most aristocratic families in New
England, whose line of paternal descent
is unbroken to the settlement and beyond.
Let us think for moment what this
question involves. Suppose you write
down your own name. Then write down
on one line just above it the names of
your father and mother-the fathers
name first on the left, the mothers sec
ond on the right. You perceive that
these two people had an equal interest
in your being. There is atleasta chance
that you are like your mother in impor-
tant physical and mental respects.
Now, set down on line above these
two names the names of your grand
fathers and grandmothers, beginning
with your fathers father and ending
with your mothers mother. These two
couples again had as much interest in
your father and your mother as your
father and mother had in you, and there
is in you as much of your mothers
mother rs there is Of your fathers IA
ther. Now above this line write down
the names Of your eight grandparents
which you should surely be able to do if
you are a Yankee Each one of these
sight had an equal interest in you. Now
you perceive that you have a pyramid
standing on its apex. You are the apex.
The left hand edge of it is your line of
fathers, and on the right hand of it is
your line Of mothers.
In all likelihood you derive rather
more Of your characteristics from the
right hand edge Of the pyramid than you
do from the left and while in all prob
ability, if you are from a good New Eng
land family, you can go on stretching
out the left hand edge of the inverted
pyramid you cannot go on with the
right hand edge any farther, and this
means that your genealogy is a one sided
and partial thing. Boston Transcript.
