THROUGH HYATTsVILLE.
The Route Of the Proposed Washing

II
ton and Baltimore Electric Road.
A corps Of surveyors Under Chief Envi-
neer Hall. representing the promoters of the
proposed electric railway between Washing
ton and Baltimore, arrived in Hyattsville
last evening, and are stopping at the old
hyatt mansion. where, according to their
own statement, they will remain for about
three weeks. Their purpose in going to
Hyattsville is to enter upon the work of
making survey for the establishment of a
suitable route for the proposed railway. so
Tar as that portion which lies between Riy-
erdale and the District Of Columbia line is
concerned. A survey for this portion of the
road was completed about two weeks ago.
This line started from a point at Riverdale
and ran through the properties Of +. j.
Gramlich and F. H. Smith, and thence along
the north and west bounda ries of johnson
and Wines latest addition to Hyattsyille
The line then proceeded along the rayine
which forms the eastern boundary line of
the Holiday subdivision, across the North
western branch, thence southwesterly to
connect with the lexington and Soldiers
Home railway at the terminus of the con-
templated extension of Rhode Island avenue
to the Maryland line.
1t is learned that this line was satisfactory
10 the managers, but q twofold objection
was advanced. and some other route had to
be decided upon. The first objection, IL is
understood, was found I'm the fact that
o ,ne company was unable to secure
way through the lands of certain persons
north of Hyattsville. The second objection.
and II Is thought the most strenuous one.
lay In the fact that the route did not pass
through that portion of Hyattsville which
was thickly settled, some parts being fully
three-quarters Of a mile from the center OF
the town proper.
n
in Hyattsville, 1t is certain that few. II any
objections will be advanced to the running
OF the road through the center Of the town.
Inc people are very much interested In this
scheme and its consummation Indicates lne
speedy development of not only fayetteville.
but OF the country adjacent thereto Under
an act OF the last legislature Of MARYLAND.
tne charter OF the company was extended
six months from the LIST of August last. and
the company is very DESTROYS of fulfilling its
part Of the agreement.

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER.
Engagement Of the Czarevitch
and Princess Alix Of Hesse.
Romantic Stories Told In the Capitals of
EuropetThey Should Be Taken with
Grain OF Salt, However
Who the Bride-to-Be Is.
1Snecial Ietter.1


1.-THE cable is kept busy with telling
the people of the United States all
about the engagement of the czarevitch
of Russia to Princess Alix Of Hesse.
We are expected to believe that the
marriage of these young people, which
is to occur in the autumn, will be a
love match pure and simple, in which
statecraft and diplomacy are not mixed
up. The czarevitch himself has thus
far considered it mira dig. to either
deny or affirm these pretty tales. Per-
haps he has never heard of them, in
which case Cupid is entitled to sum-
mary satisfaction. Love in royal
circles is not an epidemic affection.
The members of ruling families are
usually married to suit the require
ments of the hour. Processes, par
ticufatly, have frequently been hawked
about from court to court; sometimes,
sad to relate, without finding a bidder
for their presumably fair hands. One
Of the duke of Edinburgh's daughters
went to Roumania a few years ago
not because she loved the prohigate
heir-apparent to the shaky throne at
Bucharest, but because politics" de-
manded a closeralliance between Great
Britain and the Balkan country. The
German emperor-champion match
maker of Europe that af-
fair; and there can be no reasonable
doubt that the same monarch is re-
sponsible for the romantic Romanoff-
Hesse engagement.

When Tompkins' wife requested him to say
where he would go
To spend the summer, she opined he'd say he
didn't know;
But Tompkins he was wary, and he made the
madam blue
BY giving her an answer which showed plainly
that he knew.
-''I have place in mind" said he, that suits
to T.
IT'S just about the finest place that ever I did
see.
There are no bills on Monday morn; there are
no bands that play;
There isn't any landlord vile to fill you with
dismay.
~'-The BOOKINGS plain, but it is good, and bath
tubs they are free;
The meals served at times when it is pleas
ing unto me;
The servants all are civil, and the company is
choice,
And in the running of the place we're sure to
have voice.
1.-The rooms are bright and airy, and there's
plenty Of EN-, too;
There's playground for the children, and sit
ting-room for you;
There is no bar attached to it; the guests don't
have to dress
Some sixteen times day to keep them free

dams He plunged into the woods
parallel with the pass, and worked
toilsomely along until he stood on the
cliffs. above the western end of the
pass, looking towards the Tulerosa
mountains Two precious hours were
lost in searching for trail to the plain
below, but once on the level he ran
over the plain. vaguely conscious of his
direction. intent upon placing miles
between himself and the Apaches The
gray dawn found him at the base of
the Sierras. many a long mile from the
San Bias pass, tired, hungry, thirsty
and lost. He worked along into the
woods, and lay down in the shadow of
a rock and slept. He awoke unre-
freshed. and pushed on, weak and hun
cry, but stout-hearted.
How cruelty hot was the sun, and
how sore and dizzy his wounded cheek
made him! But he trudged along
sturdily over the dusty, blistered, sun
cracked earth. keeping a sharp eye for
danger, and vainly searching among
the arroyos and sun-baked rocks for
water. On and on he walked, up and
down the mountains, across the valleys
and hugging the woods again, in
country that seemed at once familiar
and strange to him. Night over
took him, weary and hungry, with
a swollen face, terrible thirst, and
completely worn out. Tightening his
belt to stay his craving stomach, he
lay down among the powders on the
summit of the range to sleep; but
sleep brought him oblivion without
rest, for thirst and his wound tortured
him through the weary night. The
stars faded out at last, and the burning
tyrant of the day came once more, and
the tired, bloody-faced man started
YEARLY down the mountain towards
the valley that looked SO hazy and
beautiful below.
Surely there must be water down
there, cool, blessed water to moisten
his swollen tongue and ease the pain
of his wounded face, that throbbed
like pulse. The glaring, staring hot
sun beat down on him with fierce in
tensity, and his hot eyes saw every
thing in haze. He rested at the foot
of the mountain, feeling in a vague
way that he must pull himself to-
gether, and then he started warily
across the scorched and tortured plain
where the earth seemed to swim in the
white glitter of bitter alkali, whose
hot dust burned into his cracked,
moistureIess lips. God! How that

HIS STEADY WATCH WAS MAINTAINED.
their prey and could wait, and it was
evident only few were left to watch
the trapped man. Then the big yellow
moon came up, flooding the valley and
pass with light, casting big shadows
from tree and bowlder, and il1uminat-
ing the space that separated the
trooper and the Apaches. Once he saw
an Apache fitting ghostlike among the
cedars to reach his flank; but Frank
Inns shot, and the Indians yell dis
couraged further attempts. The rocks
below and back of Franklin's po-
sition were buried in black shadows,
made all the more dark by the con-
trasting light, and the desperate man
determined to leave his trap and
endeavor to get round and back of
his foes into the mountains in
the darkness. To go out on the m oon-
lit valley back towards the cavalry
camp seemed too madly hazardous even
to man in his desperate dilemma; for
he rightly imagined that when they
learned his escape the Indians would
scour the plain for their victim AS a
preliminary to his break, he fred a
couple of shots haphazard at his foes,
and his luck was rewarded by yells of
rage from the Apaches- Leaving this
impression of vigilance, Franklin took
last look at his poor dead eomrade,
and shuddering at the thought of the
morrow's outrage on that body, he
dropped down from the powders
among the black shadows, and, creep
ing as cautiously as a wolf, worked
down and round the position of the In

The czarevitch and His Fiancee.

AS heirs presumptive go, the car
evitch, otherwise known as Grand
Duke Nicholas, is nice sort of fellow,
even though he has been a little tickle
as far as lovemalking is concerned. A
short time ago he was reported as
being infatuated with the fiaxen-
haired sister of the German en-
press, and still later he thought Of
marrying Princess Helene d Orleans,
daughter of the Comte de Paris. AS
the orthodox Greek church forbids
marriages between cousins he had to
give up the charming Helene. Nothing
daunted, his imperial highness looked
around once more, and discovered the
pretty granddaughter of Victoria in the
'leepy little ''residenz" of Darmstadt

The Cars Unlimited Power.

Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown" is dOubly true in Russia, and
until the czar guarantees a constitu-
tiona1 government to his people his life
will be in hourly danger. The days of
autocracy are numbered. For years
the intelligent Russians have protested
against existing conditions They have
seen every country in Europe develop
into representative governments. In
Russia alone the whole Legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial power IS vested in
one man, the emperor. He is the head
of the state and the church. He is the
judge and the jury, the prosecutor and
the informant He rules the press,
controls the stage and dictates the pol
icy of universities and other institu-
tions of learning. He knows no law
but his own will. Wretch or scholar.
saint or sinner, who dares criticise his
smallest act, has forfeited his life or
liberty. The constant struggle for life
mas made Alexander III a tyrant- He
has sent more victims to Siberia than
any one of his immediate predecessors
Entire armies of innocent men and
women have been carried into exile by
the so-called administrative process
"a proceeding which denies the ac-
cused the privilege of being heard in
his own defense. And yet nihilism con-
stantly is developing greater power,
proving only what the wise men of
many generations ago said, that perse-
cution does not kill progressive idea.
The time is sure to come when Russia,
with it's immense material resources,
will join in the onward political move
ment- Truth may be crushed and
shackled, but it will live: and the one
hundred millions Of people who now owe
allegiance to the Russian throne will
some day make their own laws. Until
then the lot of the car, whoever he
may be, will be but a succession of days
of terror and anguish. Without lib
erty there can be no happiness, and we
are afraid that Princess Alix, after she
has become czarina of Russia, will
often long for her quiet, peaceful

and contented hausfraus-

The Ronanon Family.

To be czarina of Russia means a great
deal The Russian empire covers fully
one-sixth of the firm land of the habit
able globe, and contains a popu1stion
Of over 100, OOO, 900. Over them the car
rules absolutely. But to be q member
Of the Romanof family is not quite SO
desirable. This dynasty was founded
by Michael Romanoff, car of Muscovy,
in 1913. Its foremost representative
was Peter the Great, who ruled from
1859 to 1928. He reorganized the army.
established q navy and conquered many
provinces. In his youth he worked as
a ship carpenter and blacksmith in
Holland and England, and for some
months studied the sciences so that Ok
ford gave him the degree of d. c. L.
His reign was one of bloodshed. He
began his career by thrusting his sister
Sophia, the princess regent for his
brother Ivan ", into a convent, and
compelling the rightful heir to abdicate,
and ended it by putting to death his
son Alexei on the ground of treason
able conduct. The family now reign
ing in Russia can lay no just claims to
the RomanoT name, as that dynasty
became extinct in 1872 in the person
of Empress Elizabeth, who died with
out issue. 1t was succeeded by the
dynasty of Holstein-Gottorp. The first
representative of this family was Peter
Ill, son of Peter the Greats daugh-
ter Anna, who had married duke of
Holstein-Gottorp. This unfortunate
monarch married Princess Catharine OF
Anhalt-Zerbst, who had him deposed
and strangled, and afterward ruled as
Catharine II. It is doubtful if any
reigning house mentioned in history
has SO terrible history as that of Rus
STA; and any woman thinking of ENTER
ing the Muscovite family circle should
look upon the dark side of tho picture
before being carried away by the daz-
cling prospects of unlimited power.
