Gently opened as far as Arlington, says
the Electrical Engineer.
The line is run somewhat OF the
plan of the ordinary suburban steam
road, the train consisting of three long
cars equipped with air-brakes, COM
pressed-air whistle, signal lanterns,
green flags at the end and all the para

cars will not stop anywhere and every

buy their tickets at stations. The
route winds through obscure city
streets, using the underground trolley
system until outside the city limits,
where the overhead trolley is used for
the remainder of the distance. A rail

the Presbyterians at Tent Endeavor.
DR.. James NJ. Patterson, of Detroit,
presided there.
The members of the convention were
last night reinforced by thousands of
Washington church members who had
been busy all the day, and in addition
the sightseers who focked into the
monument grounds could be numbered
by the thousands. The tents were
brilliantly lighted by electricity and the
scenes were unusually picturesque and
interesting.
Postmaster General Wilson, who pre-
sided in Tent Endeavor, received an
ovation when he appeared upon the
platform, and his brief speech elected
tumultuous applause and a waving of
handkerchiefs such as has not been
seen at any of the day meetings.
Ex.Postmaster-G General Wanamaker,
who presided in Tent Washington, was
also accorded an enthusiastic reception.
