CHANGE ISiTHE MAIN ROUTE
Columb bin u md Ma ~ la MI Railway Com.
pany AduptsEa New Course.


Baltimore. Md Feb. 4.-Thc CO.
lumbia and Maryland Railway Com
pany has made Il most important change as
to the line of its main route between Balti-
more and Washington.
Heretofore. it has been considered as
virtually fixed that the crossing of the Pa
tapsco River from Baltimore county into
Howard, was to he made at Orange Grove,
station of the Baltimore ohio Rail-
road, between Ellicott City and Relay Sta
ton, about four miles from the former
place aud two miles from the latter.
The site for one of the two big power
houses. to operate the whole line, was also
considered as determined upon, the same
being property to he acquired from Mr..
John Glenn. in Baltimore county, opposite
Orange Grove.
The company has finally concluded. how
ever To cross the Patapsco at leicester,
two miles southeast of Ellicott City and
four miles northwest from Relay. The ap-
proach from the Baltimore county side will
still he from the Glenn property. which has
an extensive frontage on the PatapSco.
The projected power-house will be in How
ard. instead of Baltimore county, and will
bn located upon land which the authorities
of the Redemptorist College, at Leicester,
have donated the company.
To cross the Patapsco at this point will
involve the construction OF an iron trestle
bridge 200 feet in length and l95 feet in
height at the point of the greatest altitude.
While the Columbia x Maryland road will
be n donblc-track system. yet it is pro-
posed iu lay but a single track on the bridge,
and the remainder of the width usual to ac-
commndate double tracks will he given. in
all likelihood. to footways and bicycle
maths. The addition OF a drveway Y has been
under consideration. and financial support
has been promised from the section con-
tiguous: but the failure of this support thus
far to uateraliZc has caused discoura Ee-
ment of the driveway idea.

HOG.KILLING TIME.

A Season Of Great Moment In Parts Of
Virginia.
''Hog-killing time" in the country
is one of the most important seasons OF
the whole year. Hog killing is the single
item of farm work that is generally
postponed, not only until cold weather,
but until the crops are all gathered and
housed, the cow stables and other rag
ged outbuildings patched up" and put
in order, the potatoes, turnips, cab
bages, ETC., kilned, the apples gathered
and stored away and huge piles of
wood provided for the proverbial "log
fires. And then butchering begins,
not unlike long, carefully planned in
surrection. No one knows just why,
says the Richmond Dispatch, but the
wholesale "cutthroat," "bloodshed"
business begins about one hour before
day-daWn, and he who happens to be
out so early in the morning sees little
else than outdoor fires dotted over the
neighborhood and hears little else than
the deafening. squeals of dying
swine, until the last pampered Jockey"
has paid the penalty" Perhaps 1000
fat hogs have been butchered in King

up about some country home. Even
the little ashy-faced darby takes on n
broad grin when daddy" kills hogs,
and very soon after that important

been applied externally. The hogs
raised here this year for pork were
unusually fine. and the meat is said to
he of the very best quality, notwith-
standing the fact that the pastures were
poor and that there was an absence o.
other advantages during the summer
and fall.

VERY GLAD OF 1T.
PardonabIe Satisfaction of an Officer Over
Woman,s Misfortune.

PardonsbIe Satisfaction of an Officer Over
Woman's Misfortune.
a good story of a military officer is
told in the New York Times. It ap-
pears that in the crush at the diplo-
matte reception at the white house he
was pushed violently against n formid
able looking woman. She glared at
him for an instant, and then said, in q
menacing way: "Be good enough to
give me more ROOM"
pardon me, madam, but cannot"
answered the officer.
Whercupon the lady detached a long
pin from her bodice and plunged it in
to the arm of the man. He braced
himself and did not vince; and she
drove it in again. After repeated at
tacks she remarked:
II don't believe you can help it, after
oil, or you wouldn't allow yourself to
be pricked in this way"
81 told you, believe, that couldn't
help myself" answered the officer.
Later in the evening, when the officer
was in the east room, the same lady
made her way through the crowd and
spoke to her enemy:
"It was q diamond pin, and I have
lost it,"
The officer bowed very low and said:
"Allow ME to say, madam, that am
very glad of it,"

Sharp Young Man Who Profited by Roths-
child's Friendship.

child's Friendship.
A good story of Lord RothschiId is
going the rounds, and it deserves to be
recorded. young man once came to
him with letters of introduction, which
stated that he was thrown entirely on
Ills own resources on account OF the
death of his father, Il much respected
man, who died from grief OH account
OF his bankruptcy. 1t was further
stated, says London TitBits, that the
young man was very clever and smart.
and Lord Rothschild was asked if he
could do something for him. The mil
lionaire took him by the arm and
marched him through the city and past
the stock exchange, introducing him
to several well-known brokers on the
way, and then babe him farewell.
But" said the young man, who ex-
Pected great things, ARE you not go
ing to do something for me?"
"My dear fellow" replied the other,
"if you are as clever as l am told you
are, you will know what to do your
self"
The young man was smart enough
to take the hint, and by the prestige
his apparent friendship with Lord
Rothschild gave him, obtained unlim-
tied credit. He soon made Roadway,
and is now one of the most successful
brokers on the exchange.

Millions in the Tower.

The Julius Tower OF Spandon, a
comm onplace round tower, crowned
with battlements, is very popular for
one reason. 1t harbors the great war
fund of the German Empire, consist
ing of 12O,O00,O00 marks (s3O,0O0,OOO)
in gold coin. The immediate sur
roundlngs of the tower are rather
lonesome and uninteresting. Nobody
is allowed in the neighborhood except
those mortals who twice year have
to inspect the treasure. At all other
times only the uniform step of the
sentries enlivens the dreadful monot-
ony of the place. Every six months
a member of the Reichstag. delegated
for the purpose, and accompanied 10y
several officials of the Imperial Treas
ury, approaches the gray, old tower,
to inspect the fund, in order that he
may assure the German people
through their representatives that the
big pile OF money is still there.
After long performances, the heavy
iron door admitting into the tower is
at last reached. where soldier with
loaded gun stands sentry. Only the
possessor of the magic password, the
"open sesame which is altered twice a
day, can hope to proceed, otherwise,
an energetic shalt" backed by men
acing movement with the gun, must
be expected. This is the last living
obstacle, but three more iron gates
must be passed, one of them leading
through the walls of the tower, which
are nine feet thick. The room where
the gold is kept is fully 80 feet above
the ground. Nor is the yellow metal

hymn for the English people. The
words, set to the tune america" are
as follows:
Two empires by the sea
Two Nations great and free
One anthem raise.
One race Of ancient fame
One tongue, one faith, we claim;
One God whose glorious name
We love and praise.
What deeds our fathers wrought,
What battles we have fought,
Let Fame record.
Now vengeful passion cease;
Come victorious, peace;
Nor hate or pride's caprice
Unsheath the sword.
Though deep the sea and wide,
Twixt realm and realm, it's tide
Binds strand to strand.
So be the gulf between
Gray coasts and islands green
Great populace and Queen
BY friendship spanned.
Now may tho God above.
Guard the lands we love
In East or West,
Let Love more fervent glow
AS peaceful ages 90
And strength yet stronger grow
Blessings and blest.
