For nearly 100 years the city has re-
manned as laid out by Washington and
L'Enfant. Towns and villages have sprung
up in the District of Columbia adjoining
the city without any supervision or ,lirec-
ton from the authorities in charge of the
District. The individuals or groups of in
dividuals who have Subdivided these trac is
have paid. no attention to the streets CT

to run in any direction and of any size
always narrow. In no case conforming to
or harmonizing with the plan of the city
(See solid lines on map)
A few years ago the peculiarly evil eff
feet of this method dawred upon the Com
missfoners and the property owners in
Washington. The matter was brought to
the attention of Congress and for several
years no new subdivisions have been allow
ed without first being authorized by the
Commissioners. Since this time they have
been studying the subject of street extern
sions. They have wisely determined to ex-
tend the streets wherever practicable or
the lines of the present streets and
avenues.
The map, accompanying this letter shows
the proposed extension of streets in dotted
lines. Although the system has not been
finally adopted there will probably be little
deviation from the plan as shown.
The section west Of Rock Creek Park Is
very rugged, with high hills >and deep ra-
vines. Through this section, and in some
places adjoining the park, the streets will
probably run so as to agree with the nat
ural contours of the land, giving winding
roads. terraces and picturesque villa sites
Within the last few months Mr.. Fred
erick Law Olmsted was, by act of Con-
gress, called into consultation in reference
to the extension of the streets; but both
the Commissioners and Mr.. Olmsted are
handicapped by the law under which the
proposed extension of the streets are to be
made.
The extension of the streets in the SUBJ
urbs has been divided into sections. The
first section is from North Capitol street
to Rock Creek Park. Mr. Olmsted has di-
vided the first section up into five divisions
on four of which he has made a report.
His advice as to running streets parallel
to the railroad line, but one square distant
with only occasional crossing, was COM
mended and adopted.
His last report includes suggestions as to
the treatment of the proposed boulevard
along Piney branch, between the park and
home, making suggestions as to the treat
which run In and across the boulevard
Mr.. Olmsted's studies are preliminary to
more detailed consideration of the question.
1t Is most desirable that the park and sys-
TENS of parks should be studied and map-
ped out by capable and experienced land
scape architects. 1t is to be hoped that
Congress will authorize a comprehensive
plan to be made which can be developed in
detail as the Commissioners obtain the
money.

Richard O'Gorman, the eminent Irish
nationalist, scholar and orator, died in
New York, Thursday night aged seventy
five. Two years ago he had a severe at
tack of the grip, from which he never re-
covered, although he was able TO be about.
For the past month he had been confined
to his room. He was born in Dublin in
1921, and was graduated from Trinity Coll
lege. His connection with the Young Ire
land party is a matter of history. In 1S4S
he was indicted for high treason, and es-
capped to this country. Settling in New
York he engaged in the practice of law,
and served two terms corporation coun-
sci. In 1888 he was elected judge of the
superior court. He retired at the end Of
1890. having reached the age of seventy
years.

Interesting Letter From the Painter
of the Picture.
In acknowledging the receipt of letter
from the president of the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art, advising Mr.. Watts that his
now famous picture, entitled Love and
Life had found a resting place on the
walls of that Institution, the distinguished
artist wrote as follows:
JANUARY %, 1895.
Dear Sir: beg to return my best thanks
for your letter. OF course it Is a satisfac-
ton to me to know that the picture 1 had
the temerity to offer to a great Nation has
found so admirable resting place. Under
any circumstances I could not have pre-
sumed to make suggestions, but certainly
the picture would not be in it's place in
dwelling house, being essentially a gal
lery picture.
sfbly aid in giving a stimulus to the idea
of establishing a sort of Luxembourg. No
great or wealthy Nation should be without
the wealth represented by literature and
art. 1 understand that the Corcoran in
stitution is intended to be of this kind. AS
1 said before, the picture could only be in
it's place in such a locality; but I confess
I was greatly shocked to learn that there
was a refusal to hang it In any place on
the score that it was immoral. 1t was
the first time, after more than sixty years
so considered and I was tempted to write
and beg that the picture should be de-
stroyed, and nothing remembered excepting
my object with all humility in presenting

Mrs. Browning, follows, in which, in the
opinion of many persons, will be found the
key to the motive of the painting:
Life and Love.
Fast this Life of mine was dying,
Blind already and calm as death;
Snowfiakes her bosom lying,
Scarcely heaving with her breath.
Love came by, and. having known he
In dream of fabed lands.
Gently stopped and laid upon her
Mystic chrsm Of holy hands.
Drew his smile across Der folded
Eyelids. the swallow dips;
Breathsd finely the cold did,
Through the locking OF her lips.
So, when Life looked upward. being
Warmed and breathed on from above,
What sight could she have for seeing,
Eyermore Aut only Love?

A New Industry.

An Austin Reveillc reporter was in
formed the other day that man by
the name OF Reese was engaged in
killing wild horses in the Edwards
creek range for the purpose of get
ting the hides and tallow. 1t is said
that the hides bring $3.50 and the tai
low, when tryed out into oil, Is worth
$3.50 per pound. The horse oil for
light machinery is said to be far su
perior to lard oil, as it will no. gum
up, but it viii not last as long as lard
oil.
If the above statement is correct, it
will prove to be very beneficial to stock
men, and net good income to any
man who goes into this business.
Many ranges throughout this State
contain thousands of wild horses
which are not worth the price of
catching, and as they only cat up the
feed from cattle and sheep the soon,
or the ranges are depopulatcd of the
wild horse the better for all concern.
ed. Near Dayton, Nevada, there
are also several people engaged in
shooting horses for the hides and tai.

OFFICIAL PAPER.
The Ma "a OF His Business.

When the man who canvasses for
names for the city directory knocked
at the door on the top floor of Har-
lem tenement house it was opened by
Il small boy, bright.eyed and ragged,
with that expression of premature
agedness on his face that makes the
children of the criminal classes look
old enough to be their own fathers.
In reply to questions, the boy gave
the name of his parents. Then came
Il puzzler. "What's your peppers
businessP" inquired the directory
man. "Business?" Eyes. What
does he do for living?" The boy
laughed. sOh," he said, "he steals
lead pipe off roofs, and sometimes he
breaks into houses. Say, you amt a
policeman, are you? Well, that's all
right. Pepper amt got no regular
business. Sometimes he lies along
the water front and robs drunken
sailors and sometimes he sandbags
people. To-day he's trying his hand
at picking pockets on the Bowery, but
l guess he'll get pinched, because he
generally does at that game. Don't
put him down as pickpocket, mister,
for he's a regular greeny at that"
The directory man scrubbed some
thing III Il notebook and moved away.
The boy called after him curiously:
what did you put pepper down as
Mister?" The directory man said
nothing, but held up the book, in
which was written: "Jnoes, John
politician, 1924 Avenue A." and
moved off to the next fiat."-N. Y.

ABOUT MOSQUITOES.
The Little Pests Get Looked At by .
Scientific Eye.

-
Scientific Eye.
There are supposed to be about one
hundred and fifty species of mosquitoes
in the world. Already twenty-one
species have been identified as native
to North America. The largest va
rieties occur in the tropics, where in
sect life of all sorts obtains its fullest
and most pestiferous development. No
where, however, are these blood
suckers more abundant than in far
northern ATTITUDES, as in Arctic Alaska,
where they appear in countless swarms
during the brief boreal summer There
are at least three or four species of
Jersey mosquitoes, one succeeding
another during the progress of the sea-
sons. The biggest known mosquito is
only found as fossil, happily. 1t lived
in tertiary times, being contemporary
with the mastodon and megatherium.
To it has been given the appropriate
name of 'culex damnatorum,' mean
ing ''gnat of the damned"
There is no reason to doubt that
mosquitoes carry diseases, says the
Washington Star, and they are seriously
suspected of propagating yellow fever.
1t has been noticed that yellow fever
comes with them and goes when they
depart; also that it, is worse in seasons
when they are most plentiful and in To-
calities where they are most abundant.
But respecting this complaint compar-
atively little has been definitely. as
certained. The mosquito is likewise
accused of propagating malaria by
carrying the infection from one person
TO-
however.
1t has long been known that only
the female mosquito bites. The male
possesses no lance for inilicting
wound, such as his mate is provided
with. The purpose ci his existence is
merely to perpctuatc the species. and
he never enters house unless by ac-
cident. The natural food of the female
is the juices of plants, and it IS not
known why she seeks blood. The in
diligence seems to be a kind of diSSipa-
ton with her, like whisky and tobacco
with human beings. Unlike the latter.
She never gets full but once. Her sting
consists of i've extremely sharp needles,
two Of which arc barbed. They unite
and form an awl, which, having in
flictcd the puncture, serves rs q tube
for sucking the blood of the victim. The
suggestion that poisonous iluid is intro
duced into the wound for the purpose of
making the blood more liquid is mere
theory.
The female mosquito lays her eggs in
a boat-shaped mass on the surface OF
still water. From these the larvae,
called ''wrigglers," are patched. When
the wrigglcr considers that he has
wriggled long enough he comes TO the
surface and carefully eXtricatcs himself
from his skin, which serves as raft
for him to stand upon. This is the
danger point of his life, for the least
breath of wind may upset the raft and
drown him. Happily escaping this
fate, he flies away as soon as his wings
are dry. If Il ''she," the insect loses no
time in seeking for some animal or per-
son to torture. 1t has been contended
that the larval mosquito has some USE
fulness, consuming miasmatic germs in
the water; but thi S is more than doubt
| full.
