rRoLLEY AND r srREEr.

Everybody will synipa athize with the
desire OF the merchants OF
street that their fall and win
ter trade shall not be interrupted and
injured by the construction of that portion
of the new underground trolley system OF
the Metropolitan line which passes their
doors
That street is very narrow, compared to
Pennsylvania avenue, through which the
cabiesystem was introduced without serious
interruption of business. 1t is certainly
serious contemplation for the business men
and women of street-this possible OBJ
siruction of their thoroughrare for months
during the busiest season.
1t is probable. however, that there is no
necessity for alarm. The Metropolitan

to make an improvement in their motive

chances are in favor OF their not reaching the
business squares of F street before the dull
season of next summer mai kes its advent.
1t would be profitable TO the railroad
people, as well as to the shopkeepers, to let
this part of the road rest as 1t Is till after
the holida VS.. Injury to business is injury to
street car patronage. Thus, both the very
slow methods of the management and the
question of profit are favorable 10 the
wishes of the business people OF the busy

FATE OF A SAVAGE TRIBE.
Story of II High Priests Prophecy
and Its FuIfiiImenf.

At a village near the source of the Oyapok,
the stream over which Brazil and French
Guiana are disputng, says the Journal des
Voyages, an old man of the Caicouchiane
tribe of Indians, the only person of this
tribe thereabout, and he tells the story of
his peoples fate. The tribe was once great,
he said but for two generations 1t has
been without a country. His people once
had country on the Tumac -Humac Noun

nerous people from the east came against
his people and their allies. The great
priest of his people abode three days with
out food in the house OF divinations and
came out looking as il ten years had passed
over his head. He reported that the yo-
locks had decreed death 10 the people.
Then the braves Joined their allies and the
war went on.
The invading people were not brave, but
they came in swarms until the allies We're
wearied with slaughter. Mary years passed
and many young warriors persisted, while
the women cried out that their lovers were
dead. The first to make this outcry was
Anita, who had lost her lover in the noun
tains of PARTON. Then the high priest cried
that this language deserved death. and
Anita was strangled by the old women.
Then the high priest at length declared
that the fates had prophesied Alright, and
it was time for the people to take flight
through the forest.

PROF. cArrELL's EXPERIMENT.

If that somewhat Improbable story be
true, that Prof. Cat,ell, who is said to
hold the chair Of experimental psycho!-
three of his own children In his Isolated and
desolate mountain home 10 note the de-
velopment of their so-called spiritual bod
les, the professor himself should be brought

medicine. But IL is questionable If the
soul or mind viyiseciOn to which Pref.
Cattell is said 10 be sub icctjng his children
can in any way add single atom OF
hope for an increase Of human happiness.
After all the probing that has been
done by morbid theorists, despairing thcci-
ogists and students of human origin and
destiny of all kirds, the soul is yet a spir-
itual terra incognta- From the piiloso-
piers OF earliest record one may learn
that psychological analysis is the shortest
road to utter pessimism, and the unhealth-
ful cropping OF their modern prototypes but
gives additional proof Of this proposition.
Soul growth and soul perfection, IL the
word may be cmployed, is best promoted BY
a close mingliDg of souls with other souls,
proliting by their spiritual mistakes and
successes, as wits are only frightened and
Kept bright by friction with other wits.
Prof. Cattell should for his own sake turn
his boys loose-that is, If there be i Prof.
Cattell, and il there be boys. While he
watches psychological phenomena in his
babes his own soul will shrivel to dust.

DoCKERY'S LITTLE COMMISSION

Ex-Congressman Dockery, of Missouri,
was always known as a man who talked
not wisely but too much. Finding himself
reaching the sere and yellow leaf OF Con-
gressonal service without having made
any lasting impression elsewhere except
upon his own vanity, he concluded to reor-
ganiZe the Government service.
Knowing nothing of the work required
to be done, he discovered by some process
of introspection that there were too man. y
employees in the departments. knowing
no more of bookkeeping than the inhabit-
ants of COCOA trees in the Gaboon country
know of Sanscrit, he concluded that the
system which had been the growth of
long years, always being developed and
improved as opportunity offered, was
obsolete. inadequate, and not to be en-
durei.
He succeeded in securing the appoint
ment of a commission to investigate and
report. with himself at its head Anybody
In Congress can succeed in a similar per.
formancc with little trouble. The COM
R,ssion hired q New York expert at q
big salary, who knew NO more of methods

sworn statement of The Times.
No better evidence can be offered of the
popularity OF The Times. which, in a com

Whether they are fishing, or shooting. or
otherwise recreating themselves, cannot

evidence of their existence.
