AN IMPORTANT CAsE.-The smoke
less powder factory at Ditchley, in this
county, is quite an important enter
prise. The output is about 5000 lbs.
per day and the factory is unable to
meet the demand for that kind of pow
der. About twenty hands are employ
ed, all of whom, except the superlnten.
dent and bookkeeper, are citizens OF
Fairfax. The works are located Il few
hundred yards from the railroad. The
powder is smokeless but not noiseless.
It's color is yellow, aud it is perfect
ly safe to handle, and it will not eX-
plode without cap. You can ignite it
and it will burn like grease, but its ex-
plosive power is great. Two drachms
of it in an old fashioned mortar will
send 64-pound ball distance of 400
yards. There are some ten or twelve
buildings used in the manufacture OF
the powder, and itsells ut 10 cents per
H., wholesale. The company own about
so acres of land, and have a regular
fire apparatus to be used in case OF
emergency.-Fdirtar Herald.

Iii the simple things that rule the world
and appeal to the hearts of men. DR..
Samuel Francis Smith was an accomplished
scholar and bis labors in many fields had
brought him honor, but it was the simple
HYMN, My Country, It's of Thee" that
endearcd him to the hearts of the American
people and made his name famous the world
over. 1t is not a national hymn, but it
comes nearer to that than anything we
have. Or. Smiths labors in the missionary
field will have long been forgotten and all
his mental and moral accomplishments. too;
his personality viii be dim tradition,
when his name will live in that hymn, which
his people has made its own.
Beranger was not far wrong when he
said: Let ME write the songs of
nation and 1 care not who makes its
laws For the poet wins more enduring
fame than the lawmaker. Though his
days may not be passed in the midst OF
the shouts of the populace and he may not
receive the short-lived plaudits that fall
to the solon, yet his words will stir with
unfaiIing fervor the heart of generation
after generation, and will make pulses beat
higher and inspire men with nobler and
boiler purposes.
That is DR.. Smiths hold upon the people
Of the country whose praises he sang.

TWELVE MILLIONS NOW.

II has been stated on good authority that
the bonC-bill schemers have become fright
ened by repeated exposures of The Times,
ard have abandoned their original plan
OF hiding personal and speculative motives
behind "A thorough and general sewer
system for the public good" 1t is also
aneged that these willy gentlemen have
decided to fight for a street extension
proposition without any provision for
sewers.
This is refreshing. It leaves no misunder-
standing of motives. 1t means an undis-
rrtsed effort to AK holders of city property
for improvements on land in outlying dis
triets Congress VIII never for one moment
entertain any such motion, provided de-
termined and concerted effort is made by
the people OF washington to let Legislators
understand that they do not want Ia be thus
saGdled with an enormous debt and enOr-
nous annual interest payments Criticisms
OF lhe way in which national lawmak ers

frequent and loud, but no one is pessim-
ist!c enough to believe that a few rich
men with large unimproved land holdings
car get the next Congress to enact measure
so Numerically opposed TO the wishes and
welfare OF almost every taxpayer in the
District OF Columbia.
Twelve million dollars, the last amount

posed upon by the well-rehearsed stories
which are always at the command OF these
highway proletarians, and they not only
aid and assist them in their life of volun-
tary idleness, but keep In the city class
of beggars who, upon the very first provo-
cation, develop into thieves and thugs
The fellow that knocked the young lady
down on Fifth street, the other afternoon
and snatched her pocketbook, belonged
to this dangerous class of tranps.
Though the unwisdom OF ibdiscriminate
alms-giving has been commented upon
time and time again, there is very iarge
class of our people who still scout 'he
admonition. No abl.-bodied man should
receive assistance OF any sort unless lie
is willing to work for 1t. In fact, the best
way TO do this is to refer the applicant Tor
charity either TO the police or to some
one of the regular charitable organizations.
If he objects and becomes impudent or
threatening, police cell is the proper
place for him.
By observing these and kindred sugges-
lions, the people of Washington can do
much TO check the tramp evil.

TWO CENTURIES OLD.
Christ Church OF Philadelphia Cele-

Philadelphia, Nov. 1T.-When the chimes
in the belfry of Old Christ Church pealed
forth the hour OF the morning service
today. that venerable pa rish recorded the
entrance into the third century of its
houored and historic existence.
The church where George and Martha
Washington worsbipped. and where the
family of william Penn attended divine
services. was fittingly decorated for the
celebration of its 200th anniversary. The
Interior of the building was draped with

day.
The semi choral services. incident TO

character and were read 10y DR.. Charles

sisted by several of the clergymeu. The
sermon was preached by DR.. William j..

INJUDICIoUs LANGUAGE.

One may be pardoned, under eXtraor-
binary circumstances, for rebuking the fair
sex. An occasion for such rebuke has
arisen, and it is all the more painful IN
that nobody of the male persuasion could
have expected 1t to happen. There was
general hope that with the advent oil gen'ie
woman in the arena of public discussion, a
rentler tone would have prevailed. But
this anticipation has been rudeiy shockeu'
There was an International Christiah
workers convention the other day, ana
one of the lady orators made use OF tue
opportunity to haul Yale College severely
over the Goals. She wound 1t all up Dy
telling her audience that she would as soon
think of sending her son Ito hell as to
Yale" If man had made such re-
mark his language would have been roundiy
denounced as unbecoming gentleman;
what shall be said OF u woman that SO
offends?
Such a declaration, proceeding from a
woman's lips, is doubly wrong; for not
only does it not COMFORT with the gentle
ness which we associate with womens
utterances and CRATES upon our feelings
but 1t is unjust to one of the great cduca-
tional institutions OF the country Yale
NAV not be perfect in many respects; in
this it shares the common fate OF most
colleges and universities, but it has noble
record, none the less. 1t is easy to con
denim. at times 1t is proper TO do so,
but the condemnation loses rather than
gains force when clothed in unbccoming
language, and all the more when the
speaker is a woman.

THE LESSON OF A HORROR.

The awful street car accident at Cleve-
land ought to serve as a warning to con-
ductors and mutormen on all electric and
cable lines, but especially the former, to
use the utmost care and circumspection-
Had it not been for the unaccounta bic care
lasspeSs OF the conductor OF that fated car;
had he done his work less perfunctorfy;
had he given but one more look in the Oh
rcrtion of the danger signals, his life and
the lives of fifteen other unfortunates would
have been spared and mourning kept afar
from many families
Fortunately there are no viaducts one
hundred and twenty feet high across a
deep river here in Washington just now,
but one OF these days there will be electric
railways running across the Aqueduct
or some other bridge into Virginia, and
IN electric line across the Eastern Branch
is one Of the things of the not distant
future. Meanwhile, however, there are
electric street railways whose conductors
and motormen viii do well to take a warn
ing from the carelessness OF that Cleveland
man. There are dangers in their way all
the time, but they can be minimized by
proper precaution and carefulness-
There have been accidents here quite
recently in which the carelessness, or what
ever else it might be called. of driver or
motormau played part. The Cleveland
catastrophe is itself a danger signal to
all these employees. Better be sure than be
sorry.
