Seventh street, would work the greatest
possible Inconvenience, besides making
them unsightly in the extreme.
This suggestion should not be entertained
for a moment by the Commissioners or by
Congress, which has the final Jurisdiction
in the matter. No change should be per
mittcd that viii in the least mar the beauty
of the streets or the general plan of their
arrangement. In this case public rights
ought 10 have the preference over private
interests. ana while no Captious opposi-
tiou in the execution Of details should inn
pose any greater Inconvenience or expense
upon the railroad company than is aiso-
lately unavoidable, firm stand ought to
be taken against anything that would in-
tcrfcrc with the free use of the streets No
streets should Dc allowed To be closed ana
none made difficult of access.
The franchises enjoyed bv railroad com
panies are So valuable that the corporations
can well afford TO make liberal concessions
when it comes 10 changing their tracks.
Experience in Europe and in this coi.ntry
has shown that in the cities the Depressed
tra cks are the least objectionable so far as
street traffic Is concerned and whatever
is the least Objectionable we ought to have
here in Washington.

large number of buZZaris were OBJ
served circiing around above the

members was attracted to this spectacle,
and watched the birds With considerable
interest. AT length one of them said:
DO YOU know what those buZZardS are
hanging around here for? IL is for nothing

not disputed. and the superstition prevails

proposition,

While Fitzsimmons is lifting his
voice in pious protest against The
alleged jobbing done by carp in
giving the victory to Sharkey, it
transpires that the honest and gen
tlemanly Fitz had few of his friends
betting his money for him that
Sharkey would stay six rounds. OF
course Fits keenest admirers were
betting Sharkey would not stay six
rounds, and Fitz took advantage of
the dead thing he had on the play to
scoop his friends. There was moth
ing foul about that from Fitz's point
of view. 1t was only when he got
robbed that his morals showed them
selves.
