Railway.
Mrs. Cooper, Who Caused the Fear
sOn-FOrd Homicide, Returns-Ac-
cidents and Deaths.

The work Of the extension Of the Glen
Echo electric railway Is being pushed as
rapidly as circumstances will permit. Men
are working ct both ends Of the line, and
originally it was expected to complete the
improvements by the 18th instant; but
owing to various delays the labor will hard
ly be finished for another month. The ex-
tension at the eastern end will be from
Chevy Chase circle to the present tracks
In making this extension a portion Of the
present used track will be abandoned and
connection with the union depot at Tenley-
town severed. The new tracks Will branch
eff from the present tracks about third
of a mile below the union depot. just where
the first trestle work commenced, and Iol-
lowing the line Of small stream, the De
ginning of Powder Mill branch. run to the
circle and make connections there with the
Chevy Chase road.
The western extension will be from the
present north side of the Conduit road.
lear Glen Echo, across the Conduit road
end thence along the tracks of the Great
Falls railroad to Cabin John bridge. The
Glen Echo road had the right OF way IN Its
charter to take this route. and granted the
privilege to the Great Falls road upon the
condition that it could run cars over the
track, which was readily granted. The
preparations for the laying of the track
to make connections at this place are well
under way. An embankment has been laid
on either side of the road. and the tracks
are in place. There are only few hundred
feet Of rails to be laid. and that IN the
shape of a curve.
The rolling stock of the road is being re-
paired and rev cars added. Already SIX
rev cars have been secured, and more are
expected while the old cars will be repair
ed and reprinted. and the entire road I'M
proved, making 1t one of the best in this
section of the city. The improvements are
being made under an additional loan. which
Was secured on the railroad as whole.

Novel Way to Get Rid of Numerous Street
Beggars.
There is a gentleman Of this city who is
so fortunate as to he able to converse in
several languages besides English and has
the remarkable faculty Of Speaking each
without an accent foreign to that Ian
guage-in fact, his acCcntuution of the
language he choose, is so perfect that he is
frequently mistaken for a native of the
country in which the language is the
mother tongue. He has adopted novel
way Of Kidding himself of the importuni-
ties of the professional striker. When he
is stopped or approached by one of the
class, he talks to the fellow in a foreign
tongue, and it is not long before the i'm
portunities cease
A few days since this gentleman was on
Kearney street, when tall specimen of
the mendicant class, whose breath was
strong with the fumes of liquor, stepped
up to him and asked for Il dime to get
meal.
"Que voulez-vous?' politely asked the
gentleman, turning toward the fellow.
The beggar looked amazed for mo-
ment, but he repeated his question, and
he received another retort in French from
the gentleman, who moved on about his
business, but the fellow followed him,
and, after repeating his demand half a
dozen times without producing the desired
effect, he exclaimed in disgust: "What in
thunder is the matter with you? l can't
understand word you say" Then in a
moment he added, Say, you old bloke,
what are you doing in this country, any
how, if you can't speak English?'
The gentleman has tried this a dozen
times or more of late, and as he has not
been annoyed by one of these beggars for
more than a week, although he has passed
many of them, he has come to the conclu-
sion that de gang is on to him" and will
let him alone in future. Francisco

When Proverba entered the room, she
asked n question of each of the puzzlers
present, receiving an appropriate reply,
which included one of the consecutive
words which formed the proverb. To her
first question Carrie replied, mo, l do not
know where your thimble is" To her next
question Bert said, There is no time like
the present" Esther's answer was, 1.-THE
question you have put is rather embarrass-
ing " Anna said, "No, it is not very
difficult proverb. " John reply was, You
will probably have TO ask several more
questions. William said, Eyes, there is
a piano in the library" Edwns answer
was, There is many slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" Julia said Indeed, it is u
very pleasant evening" Frances replied,
1.-THE only way for you to guess the proverb
Is to select the right words from all that we
have said. This Proverbia did very cas-
lily and triumphantly.

Few things more amusing than Miss

been told in Print. We know everybody in
that school as intimately us Mary Witford
knew them in the year 1796-the English
teacher who was so welded to grammar
and arithmetic-Nary hated to study; the
French teacher whom she both loved and
feared, who had passion for neatness and
used to hang around the children's necks
all their possessions found out of place,
from dictionaries and sheets of music to
skipping ropes and dilapdated dolls; the
schoolgirls who came from every part of
England and France; above all, the school
plays-"The Search After Happiness,
which they were permitted to act as a
great treat, because Miss Hannah More
had written it, If you know nothing
about THE Search After Happiness" you
have no real idea how dull play can be.

How much may dope1o upon q glove
fastening wi.s illustrated, says tho Lcwi>
ton Me Journal, ut ono CT the Monson
slate quarries III an adventure which the
person concerned would no. care to repeat.
He was derrick man who stood on the
brink OF cno Of the great chasms from
which the slate rock is hoisted. His duty
was to catch hold of big hook depending
from the end of tie boom as it swung over
the bank and attach 1t to the crate to be
cent back into the pit. Standing upon the
very edge, he reached out to catch the hook
which dangled near him. 1t was winter,
and he wore thick buckskin gloves.
Tho hook slipped from him as he leaned
out, but caught into tho fastening of the
glove. The swing OF the great boom took
him OF his feet ia an instant and carried
him out into giddy space, with his lifo do
pending on the gloves holding fast. His
whole weight was hung on that button,
and there was clear IFS feet of space be-
tween him and the floor of rock below.
The moments that passed before the boom
could be swung over the bank seemed like
hours to him. but he got there at last safe
and sound. He explained that he did not
care move his hand in the glove to attempt
to catch the hook with his fingers for fca,
tho change Of position would loosen the
button so j: would give way. His pres
encc of mind in keeping rs still as possible
may have holped to keep the slender thread
from breaking.

Here's a Isl, of Pleasant Reading.

The SO called Expulsion Of Lord
Dunraven from the New York Yacht
club reflects very little credit upon the
members Of that impotent and unsports-
manlike body. 1t is difficult to speak
calmly Of the puerile spite shown by
these 50 Yankee yaclitsmen in going
through the farce of ''expclling'' a
member who had already signified his
intention Of severing his connection with
the club, and who, heaven knows, lad
little enough reason fer wishing to re-
main in it. By their shameless eager
ness to put an insult upon an honorable
if mistaken English gentleman, the
members of the New York Yacht club
have forfeited even such modified re
spect as we in this country have hitler
to had for them. They have made it ut
terly impossible for any self respecting
Englishman ever again to challenge for
the Americas cup. l can hardly sup
pose, however, that that fact will cause
them any regret. for they have all along
displayed determination to retain the
trophy by hook or by crook.-London
