The cars are of fine Workmanship, be-
ing made by a well-known st. Louis coIu-
pany, while the motors are from New Iofk
Everything has been done to secure the

A. n. Connect, chief engineer in charge OF
the construction of the road. 1t was
watched with interest by President Phil
lips, Supt Coleman and other officials Of
the line.
Everything ran smoothly till about 1890
a. H., when a motOrrnau, not yet familiar
with tile workings of the system and the
new track, ran his car into an open switch
at the eastern car house and blocked traffic
for long time.
Supt. Coleman said. however, that every
thing would soon be running as regularly
and smoothly as un the Ninth street line.
They would put in new motors and cars as
fast as possible. He could not say exactly

Commissioners Deny Request
Concerning H Street.
THE BEAcH-EMPLoYEs
Salaries of the Attendants VIII Here
after Come Out of the Appreprfa-
tion-Mr. Stevens Allowed to Use
..,IlIe Money Derived From Renting
Battling Suits.

The contract work of resurfacing the
north side OF II street northwest, petWeeh
Fourteenth and Seventeenth streets, ad-
jacent 10 the tracks OF the Metropoiitah
Railway Company, has but just com
mencei, and cannot be completed Deiore
the Goth OF the month, i'll consequence OF
which the proprietor OF the Arlington
Hotel and Druggist Doggc.t asked the Com
mlssloners 10 have the work suspended
until after the Christian Endeayor conven-
lion adJourn5-
The matter came before the board off
ciaily. and il was 5no wn that TO discontinue
oDerat ions at this time will have tine eiicct
of throwing 100 men out OF employment
and TO proceed will really work no injury
to anybody.
The street is said to be in 70 condition
for bicycle riding, being at present 1uil OF
pitfalls, and Contractor Crawford argued
against any order to disturb the existing
arrangement The south half of the street
will lac clear of obstructioas. he said, aud
SO also will be the car tracks, practically.
and he could see no reason for stopping tie
work now.
The Commissioners decided to permit
incnt on the square between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets. which will require j
week TO complete.
The batlting beach. under the superin-
Tendance OF Mr. W. X. Stevens, will from
| henceforth be conducted upon much more
systematic plan than he has been able to
| carry out, thanks to his persistence ana
| the action of Congress, nd when the time
comes for utilizing the Inner basin, with all
| the improvements he has in contemplation,
| Mr.. Stevens expects to be able to furnish ac-
| co,nInodation that will do the city proud.
| Every dollar heretofore appropriated to
| tie beach has been expended in the plant.
| and nothing of moment Will lie required in
| that direction this year.
The District las, therefore, proposed to
| relieve the superintendent OF all charges
for his employees. heretofore paid out OF his
! fees for bathing suits, which are his private
| property, and permit him to have that
revenue for his compensation for service
| 1t has often occurred in the past that the
income was inadequate to meet the eX-
penses, and the employees were at such
+! times paid out of the superintendent's pri-
| waite means This. the Commissioners agree,
is unjust to him. Hence the transfer OF the
| responsibility.
AIR. Stevens has four regular employees,
three 10 ysaud man. and the a We rage daily
| pay for the four is SO. This will hereafter
be paid from the appropriation. and in lieu
| OF salary which the Commissioners today
| rendered him. the superintendent preferred
to depend upon his fees.
Ii is understood that arrangements for the
| accommodation OF the people have been
very much improved lately, and the patron
age during the convention week is expected
TO be large.

dukedom amounting to as much as 50 500,
while IA kn,ghtbood merely entails the pay

The private business Of the college of
heraids-that is to say. the moneys which
its members receive and which they do not
turn into the treasury, but share amoLg
tuemseives-are the fees which are paid BY
Individuals anxious to prove their descent
from noble families of antiquity. and " ho
wish to have searches made III the records
OF the college with that object in view.
Only those who are cynical enough to real
ize the amazing extent OF human vanity and
conceit can appreciate why tits that the
sums derived from this source far exceed
all the other sources of revenue that fall
TO the share of the college.
Thus, when Thomas Brassy, the multi
millionaire contractor, whose father had
commenced life as day IabOrer on rail-
road, and whose cstimabIc mother had
peddlcd matches as girl in the streets or
Liverpool, was raised to the peerase. he
immediately set to work to prove. with
the help of the college of heralds, that he
was descended in a direct line from Rob-
ert de Bressie, a nObleman who lived IN
Cheshire in the reign of King Edward III.
In the same way, when the brewer OF
Dublin stout, Edward Guinness, was cle-
waited to the House of Loras is Lord Ivea gh,
the first thing he did was to apply to tine
college of heralds to prove that be was
descended from Art Magenpiss.' the
Lord OF Iveagh," who came over from
Ireland as far back as the year 1880.
Heaven only knows how much money the
brewer peer must have paid to the college
of heralds TO secure this proof, as all the
English and Irish historical works of refer
ence show that the noble family OF Masen-
t.., ,srI, boo fNns 70 n
1898.
Money, however. goes long way at the
college of heralds, and without any de-
sire to impugn the heraldic integrity of
such imposing personaged as the kings-at-
arms, 1t must be confessed that there is
abundant evidence to show that heavy fees
possess the power to dull the perspicacity
of the members OF the ancient and august
college OF heralds.
