A Few Pertinent Inquiries.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
What is the use of the District Com
missioners and the management Of the
Washington and Georgetown Street Rail-
way Company bothering their heads about
the location Of a transfer station on 18th
street at the parting of itss lines? Or.
rather why should either the roadway or
the sidewalk be obstructed by a kiosk
or booth erected there for the use Of the
companys employees? Why not have the
conductors on the cars give transfer cou-
pons to passengers intending to change
cars at that junction? With that arrange
ment in force cars going to and coming
from Georgetown would stop in front of
the Riggs bank, and those on the 18th
street line would stop on New York ave-
nue., as formerly. Thus 18th street would
be somewhat relieved of it's present
crowded condition, and passengers would
pass from one line to the other without
danger Of being run down by cars NOV
ing in the opposite directions. and also
without the delay and Inconvenience which
must always attend the hunting up of a
transfer agent, wherever he may be sta
toned
If the company has any valid objections
to this plan l do not know what they are.
1t works, l am told, to the satisfaction of
both its patrons and the company on the
F, street line. and it doubtless would on
all lines If fairly and patiently tested.
All that is necessary to be done is for the
conductor. when ne collects fare. to ask
the passenger whether transfer is de-
sired at a particular junction.; and, IL SO.
to deliver the coupon. properly punched,
there and then. 1t might possibly in some
small way be little more troublesome or
expensive to the company than the pres
ent system. but 1t Is not easy to see why
1t should. Besides, IL 1t did, that is a mat
ter that neither the District Commission
ers nor the public need worry themselves
about very greatly. The comfort and con-
ventence of car users are the things to
be looked after by the public authorities.
The avenue line has the most valuable
street railway franchise in the world, and
its profits are probably the largest, in
proportion to its actual original cost. II
can therefore very we'll afford to give its
patrons the maximum Of accommoda ton
with the minimum of vexation; and this
1t ought to be willing to do, without COM
pulsion.-which must and will be applied,
II necessary. PATRON.

Fatal Quarrel Over "a Bird.

James Halstead, ffty-three years old, the
proprietor Of a dyeing establishment in 18Th
street near 10th avenue, New York. lost his
life yesterday In a fight resulting from a
dispute over the merits of a canary bird.
Halstead was an Englishman and a love.
OF pets OF all kinds.
Yesterday afternoon he went to John
kieff's bird store. No. 80 LIST avenue, TO I1lI
a pair OF rabbits. While I'm the store Mat.
ing department, entered.
AT that moment Halstead was criticisms
a certain canary that Green had purchase
on a previous visit. The men did not agree
as to the merits OF the bird and words soon
led TO blows. Green finally struck Halstead
IN the face with his fist and the latter Sell

Yesterdays games resulted as follows:

Boston won yesterdays game by timely
batting and superior fielding.
Sullivan made three errors that were
costly. and even Farrell and O'Rourke.
usually reliable, made misplays. -Four OF
the Bostons reached first on errors and
three on balls.
Wise batted heavily. securing a home run.
a double and two singles. He also fielded
his position well. accepting all Of seven
chances offered.
The Senator'S batted hard. but were un.
fortunate in landing the ball at critical
times in the fielders' hands. Seven went
out on flies to the outfield.
The Senators play Boston again today,
probably Maui going in the box. They will
be at home tomorrow, playing New York
two games.
1t is said that ST. Louis has offered Haw-
ley and bonus for Joyce. 1t is certain
that a good pitcher Is needed more than q
third baseman. Whether Hawley win All
the bill is a question for the local manage
ment to decide. Stockdaies experience a,
Boston was not gratifying, though Wash
ington had the luck to win.
With a good pitcher or two the prospects
are good for climbing to the top Of the Sec
ond division. The club is batting heavier
than Cincinnati, st. Louis. Chicago and

4 New Theory of Sleep.
o be C II inued.D

Some discussion has been going on
concerning Herr Rosenbaums recently
proposed theory of sleep-namely, that
the an9mic condition of the brain is due
TO an excess of water in the brain cells
of that body. The supposition, as stated,
is that sleep is essentially matter of
nervous action, and the direct cause is
thought to be fatigue of the nerve cells
which communicate with the heart and
bring about some change in the circula-
ton. The nerve cells are thus supposed
to be full of water when sleep comes on,
and this water during sleep passes into
the venous blood as waste and the nerve
cells then receive nourishment from
fresh arterial blood. Then when the proc
ess is entirely over the sleeper awakes.
According to this theory, sleep is not
solely healthy because it rests the body
and brain. but also because it invigor-
ates them. 1t is also to be inferred
from RosenbGum's theory that the nerve
cells and brains Of infants who sleep so
much must contain more water than is
to be found in those of adults, and that
the effectiveness OF brain cells is in in
verse ratio to the water contents.-New
York Tribune.

Teller in livery stable. Well, that

looked pleased and pointed the boy to
barrel of 7-cent sugar.
Don't you know what teller is in

thing that settles it. But l must go and

waited till the grocery man went to draw
