The JOY of n Japanese Mother at a

The JOY of n Japanese Mother at
Baby Show on a Pacific Steamship.
DR.. y. Nelson Beach, surgeon of the
steamship China, when last here told
the story of the most remar rkable baby
show and of the most remarkable prize
winning family that has yet been put on
record, says the San Francisco Examiner.
The China, on the last trip to the Orient,
took on board at Honolulu 4IO japanese
all home ward bound after having worked
out their contracts on the Hawaiian Islands
Many of the Japanese had their wives and
children with them aud there Were eighty
three babies under four yeaTs-fifty three
girls and thirty boys.
The Ell Ghty three aImond-eyed young
sters furnished amusement for the cabin
passengers for time When there is no
view save the broad horizon eighty three
japanese babies are great attractions
Somebody suggested a baby show. The
mothers had never heard of a baby show.
but the eagle on an American dollar is a
great interpreter, aud the Japanese COM
missioner of emigration to the Hawaiian
islands, who was a passenger on the steamer,
aroused the maternal pride of the little
mothers ia the steeraGe. BY contribution
of the cabin passengers purse was made up
and prize were offered for the three
haudsomest girls and the three finest boys
under four years.
The eighty three little Japs in gorgeous
kmonos We're placed on exhibition one
afternoon and then the judges awarded
the pTi ZeS.
After the prizes were awarded start
ling discovery was made. The little girls
who took first aud second prizes We're
sisters and the little boys who took first
and second prizes were brothers. But
when the passengers found that the prize
winning little boys and girls We're brothers
aud sisters, all children of the same parents,
there was astouishmeut Unbounded and
the passengers made UP purse of So for
the mother of the prize winning family,
in addition to the prize money bestowed
on the children.
If there had been more in the family
they would have had the rest OF the prizes,
l suppose" said DIR. Beach. but the ward
of four prizes to four children of the same
family, the oldest of the children 4 years
of age. was sufficient glory for the mother,
who was the pTOUdest parent / ever saw.
The wards We're fairly made, and none of
the Judges knew that the children We're

USING THE MEMS MONEY.
4 bont $4,000 Deposited by w. & c..
EmnloYe- w ith the Compamy.

Employees With the Company.
One OF the conductors OF the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company has
been doing some figuring on the deposits
made by the employees with the company
from which they get no return.
According to his statement, the COM
pany has in its treasury about $4,000
annually, which can easily produce an
interest of 81 .OOO. OF course, when the
employees resign or are discharged they get
their money back
nductors-regular, on tTailers and
eXtras-are obliged to deposit S25 apiece
and the gripmen-reguar and extra-de-
posit SO apiece. On this basis and the
number of men employed lie states that
there is on deposit for the Georgetown end
81 800; for the navy yard, 81 500; for the
Fourteenth street line, $500, and for the
Seventh street line, $3,S00, making a
total of 1850
The conductor expressed the opinion that
in view of the number of years this money
has been on deposit the men might be shown
a little consideration.
THE consideration we got recently" he
said, "can be told in a little incident that
occurred this week. AT the Navy Yard

ANACOSTIA ROADS FUTURE
Havemeyer Syndicate Would Be
Glad to Purchase the Property.
One of the Dead Lines" May Be Aban-
doned and the Track Used on
jackson Street.

The offer noted in The Times exclusively
of yesterday morning for the purchase OF
the AnaCostia railroad franchise and eqHin=
ment, appears to be but one Gf several
similar propositioErs affecting the future
or that Corporation.
A late TumOr, which seems to be well
grounded, is to the effect that there viii
be a branch OF the road built from
junction with the present line at Jackson
street eastward and that it VIII eventually
extend to the Overlook Inn
The grou nd upon which the inn and various
other improvements are located consists
OF a large tract, owned by what is now
recognized as the Havemeyer syndicate,
in which the late Senator Hearst was largely
interested The company sought by Con-
gresSional enactment to procure a fran
chise for road to its property, but owing
to complications that arose from the muI
tipIicity of such applications, she Have
meyer project did not culminate as was
desired and nothing was done
The proposed extension OF the AnacoStia
road Will be by Jackson street in direct
line to the German Orphan Asylum, over
route for which the company already has
charter
Tocoutinueft TO Overlook Inn win require
Of road. The idea of those interested in
the development OF that section is to either
induce the owners of the stock TO make
the extension or 10 accomplish the object
by purchasing a controlling interest, and
then ask Congress to amend the charter to
cover the remaining distance.
The Havemeyer Companyis anxious foran
outlet. Col. A. P. Bliss, member, stated
last night that thesyndiCate stands ready
at any time to promote the enterprise,
and the expense Will be a secondary matter
The fact that the AnaCostia Company has
vested rights in a roadbed to within a
short distance of the Havemeyer property
makes it extremely probable that the
proposition to build the branch line, and
equip it with rapid motive power, will
meet with the substantial support of that
corporation.
The proposition is said to have the sane
ton Of those most deeply interested in the
company, and President Girls wold will be
asked to give his assent. The stock nee
essary TO cover the expense of constructing
the new branch is already guaranteed, and
it is probable that one of the so called
dead lines viii be abandoned and the
rails transferred to the Jackson street
branch.

A strange occurrence connected with the
forest ire which ragged throughout Mexican
county is reported from the KinZua valley.
on day when the fires were burning the
fiercest and the men Were worn out and
almost dead with hunger, a dark cloud
suddenly overcast the sky aud rain began
falling. With the shower seemed to fan
hundreds of fish, ranging from three TO
eleven inches in length. The fish were
perfectly formed, aud in many instances
where they fell upon the burning enbers
they were found by the half -famiShed
men aud eaten with great relish The
people of Kinzua valley were greatly
puzzled by this wonderful shower, but it is
believed the fish were washed out Of the

A hoodoo of a rather serious nature
seems TO have fallen over the new Ninth
street electric line. Another attempt
was made to run car last night after the
horse cars had been taken off and the effort
proved a failure because some Que had
dropped something on the parallel under
ground current-bearing rails and thus
abridged the circuit.
The car started out from the power
house as on the night before and made tue
circuit of the loop in five minutes, when,
just as il reached the intersection of Four
and-a-half and L streets, where il stopped
on Monday night, it again came to a stand
still The cause was apparently due to a
break in the circuit.
The officials OF TIE road are not a little
exercised over what appears to be the
efforts OF somebody to prevent the use of
the new line. IT is said that yesterday af-
ternoon two coils of Wire were found
wrapped about the underground rails near
the intersection of Ninth and F streets
In order to place the wire it was necessary
to raise one of the man-hole caps.
About . O'Clock last evening workmen
also discovered heavy iron spike d--aI'-----.;I1
in the flow slot in Four-and a.haIf street
near l.. lew days previous, it is said,
an iron bar was discovered across the
underground rails near L street, and to
show that whoever placed it there under
stood what he was about 1t was laid edge
wise, 81 that il could not easily burn out.
The workmcn last night charged the
plow on the car. in the hope OF relieving the
difficulty. but II was unavailing, and at

ing to run out another car.
