MISS HARRADEN is ILL.
Comes Here for a Change of
Air and Longs to Be
Home.
The Author of Ships That Pass in
the Night" Now a Confirmed
Invalid.

Beatrice Harraden. the little English
woman who gained fame as novelist by
writing "Ships That Pass in the Night"
came here Wednesday from FL Cajon, San
Diego County, an invalid in search of a
change of air from which she hopes to de-
rive strength sufficient to enable her soon
to hasten on her journey to her old home
in London.
A fraii constitution and overwork Is the
cause of her present condition. Four
months ago she was compelled to stop
work on her latest novel. though she had
nearly finished it. Since that time she has
been failing in health, Notwithstanding
the favorable climate OF Ell Caion, where
she has been living with Mr.. and Mrs
John Kendall, who came up with her from
San Diego on the Santa Rosa and who are
now with her at the Occidental.
How long the unfortunate little
authoress will remain in this City de-
pends entirely upon her condition. She
is eager to start for England as quickly as
possible. w ednesday evening she was too
i'll to see any one. Mrs. Kendall, how
ever, furnished the information in regard
to the plans of the little authoress, whose
pest heroine returned to her home in Eng
land from a health resort and with her
death ended that pathetic but eccentric
and fascinating story of 'sShips That Pass
in the Night"

BALDWIN rs BEsIEGED.
once Hunters Render the Life of the
United States Marshal Almost
Unbearable.


United States Marshal Barry Baldwin
threatens to grow gray or, what is worse,
fall a victim to paresis unless there is
let up in office-seekers. For two weeks
past there has been a continual stream of
"de push seeking Barry's sumptuous
quarters in the Appraisers building in the
vain hope of being appointed Election
Supervisors or Marshals.
Parrish, the Marshal's right-hand man,
declares, with much seriousness, that re-
gardless of the fact that no regular busi-
ness has been transacted for two months,
the courts and the Grand Jury not being
in session, he has never been so busy in
his life. He says it is practically impossi-
BILE to make the office-hunters understand
that the law requiring United States Mar
shals and Supervisors at every election
precinct was abolished four years ago.
In the meantime Baldwin has found q
temporary way out of the difficulty. When
he reaches the office he asks, if stranger
happens to be on the inside, IFS Mr.. Bald
win in ?" Parrish, of course, catches right
on, and invites the Marshal to step inside
and swait q few moments" When Barry
desires to leave he informs his head man
that he cannot wait for Baldwin any
longer"
In this way the United States Marshal
goes to and from his Office. The only
consolation he finds nowadays Is to make
an occasional "escape" to Attorney Sam
Knights office, where the two engage in
an amicable discussion of gold and silver,
and why one is better for the country than
the other.

POSTAGE ON RAILROAD MAIL.
The Recent Order Is Being Contested
bv the Coruorations


by the Corporations.
Neither the Southern Pacific Company
nor the other railroad corporations Of the
country propose to submit without a
struggle to the order of the postoffice
authorities providing that all mail matter
heretofore carried free by the railroads
shall be franked with postage stamps.
Attorneys are now at Washington argu-
ing the matter with the Federal authori-
ties. Their claim for the resembling of
the order is that each railroad has the
right to carry its own letters. and that it
has therefore the right to extend that
right to other railroads. It is further
claimed that so long as no compensation
is received for carrying these letters there
is no violation of law.
Meanwhile the Southern Pacific Is obey
ing the order only so far as it relates to
mail destined for points not on its own
lines, pending a final decision from Wash
ington, which is expected any day.
It is safe to predict that the corporations
will win their point, as they are too rich to
pay postage as other people are compelled
to do.

Must Have Water.

Mr.. George Golden, farmer residing
near this city, went to the spring after a
pail of water. Contrary TO Mr.. Golden's
anticipations he found that access to the
spring was cut off by two enormous black
snakes lying coiled up in the path and
which refused to give the right of way to
the owner of the spring.
Mr.. Golden secured q club and, with a
determination to assert his rights, pre-
pared to kill the snakes or make them get
out of the way; but the reptiles were not
to be frightened by man and club and
when Mr. Golden neared them they both
showed fight to such an extent as to con-
vince the owner of the spring that it would
be not only useless but dangerous to at
tack them with club.
The snakes are said to have stood
straight up on their tails and not only re-
fused to yield their place of refuge, but
showed fight with such determination
that Mr.. Golden concluded to return to
his home and secure gun. Finding that
his own gun was not in shooting order, he
went to q neighbor near by and secured a
gun and then returned to the spring and
dispatched the snakes. 1t Is said they
were about eight feet long and quite large
in circumference. e.--Cumberland Times.

FOR A UNION STATION.
IN Engineers Plan for 18th Street
and Florida Avenue.

ana FlOf1Oa Avenue.
The Commissioners have had under con-
sderation the matter of requiring street
railroad companies to combine in MAIN
tanning union stations and Kidding the
streets of unnecessary trackage at points
where different lines meet or cross. One
point where the multiplicity of cars and
tracks has caused considerable complaint
on the part of the public is at 7th and
Florida avenue.
The congestion of street travel
at this point, the terminus of four
street railway lines, has drawn atten-
ton to the ACCESSIBILITY of the con-
struction there Of some sort OF union
station. A civil engineer, VINO has given
thought to the matter, has drawn plan
for union station, which, In his opinion,
plicated tracks. This plan is shown in the
accompanying cut Explaining this plan,
the engineer said to Star reporter:
There is urgent present necessity for
the construction of a Union station for the
city and suburban railways centering at
Florida avenue and 7th street northwest.
Aside from these railways. this Is an ex-
ceedingly busy point, for just here one of
the greatest ttcroughfares in the District
enters the city-the 7th street road is
practically the Crly highway for the whole
of the fertile Rock creek basin and for
much of the rich farming country beyond.
travel over this read crosses Florida ave-
nue. at this point and here four rapid
transit railways terminate. Important lines
of the two great city reads and the two
largest suburta an roads form their junction
in the imrI ediate vicinity Of this intersec-
ton. The number of people transferred at
this point can hardly be estimated, but
some idea may be obtaired from the fact
that one of the suburban roads alone car
ried about million and a quarter passen
gers last year, nearly the entire number
arriving or departing from this junction.
Compared with other Washington
streets, both Florida avenue and 1th street
are very narrow. the latter being but
eighty-five feet from building line to build
ing line. and the former only eighty feet.
And yet in this narrow space the trains
Of three rapid transit railways are made
up and dispatched, while preparations are
being made to add a fourth by the con-
struction of the Metropolitan road to this
point. The congestion of tracks and
SwitC hes here has equal in any other
part of the city railway system, and that
there will be only an increase of this men
acing nuisance is shown by the fact that
the Capital Traction Company has during
the past week been laying additional tracks
and switches between 7th street and Flor
ida avenue. The noise and confusion at
times remind one mere Of a great railroad
yard than anything else. Not infrequCnt-
ly dozen cars will be crowded around this
intersection, with trains being made up and
dispatched in three directions at once. The
necessary switching of cars back and forth
