BABY DID 1T.



DinEv street Car
On one Of the cold. rainy days Of the
past week a Washington Star reporter
was on a car on the Pennsylvania ave
nue. line coming down Capitol hill.
There was a pretty good load OF passen-
gers. II was cold, wet and uncomfort-
able inside Of the car. and the rain beat
a tattoo on the windows without that
brought anything but pleasant refec-
tons to the passengers who would have

there was a big reinforcement Of pas
sengers. They piled IN very uncere-
moniously bringing with them a rush
Of cold air and scattering showers OF
spray from their soaked garments. In
the crowd which got aboard was
woman with baby In her arms. The
woman was rather poorly and thlnly
clad and had no umbrella. There was
some delay In her getting a seat and
she looked decidedly forlorn and help
loss trying to maintain her balance and
at the same time look out for her child.
But with all the environment calcu-
lated to make men mean and surly
some one had enough gallantry In spite
OF the weather 10 offer her a seat. But
mother and child got many a rcproying
look from the other passengers. Those
who were In an ugly mood on account
Of their unpleasant surroundings found
II very soothing to their RULED fe ling

OF her shoulders which meant more
than she said. But baby was wrapped

Its mother. needless OF what her neigh
boris might think. began TO unroll
the quaint covering to see how his
diminutivc majesty was getting on.
Everybody In the car was watching
her with looks Of mingled dlsapproval
and curiosity. She finally got the roll
undone 20 that Mr.. Baby's face became
visible. And such a face a. II wasl

probability will never light Mp slml-
lar occasion. Baby's Appearance
worked like a magic charm on the rest
OF the passengers. As soon a. his face
was uncovered he took q survey OF the
passengers about him with owlish
gravity. Then, as II struck by some
highly ludicrous idea In the coniem-
platlon Of the scene. he burst Into n
great III OF baby laughter. lie CHR

There Ia much discussion among
those concerned in the reorganization
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad as
20 the form OF the charter the company
Ia to have or whether It Is advisable
to forocloao the property at present. In
view Of the fact that the present Con.
Eress has failed to give the company a
new charter. A story Is anoat in Wall
Street TO the effect that the failure OF
Congress to pass the expected legisla.
ton was partly due 10 the efforts OF
the bondholders OF the Seattle. Lake
Shore and Eastern Railroad. who are
said to have a 100000 claim the
Northern Pacific refuses to adjust.
The sale OF the road IL advertised 10
take place next month, but as no action
In regard to the new charter was taken
at this session OF Congress Il is consid-
cred likely that the sale win be post
poncd. A charter might be obtained
from onoof the states. but It would lack
many Of the valuable rights that are
enjoyed by the old company under its
present charter.

As meath the stars they seek the sea.
Two ghosily picke;s guard their posts.

A Locomotives Lite.

Some careful experiments which
have been made In England prove that
the life Of locomotive is about 5OO.-
900 train miles" In other words,
that a locomotive OF the latest ap.
proved pattern will run 100000 miles
before wearing out so as to be useless.
In making this run OF 100000 miles the

artisans engaged in the handicrafts, sew
eral hundred are employed in adding to
that which is not merely useful-the ele-
ment of beauty, the graces of form and
color that make esthetical objects for
houses and offices.
Now, it is a peculiar fact that the jap
anese excel in making ornamental goods.
They are naturally good workmen, having
a strange manual dexterity almost from
birth, but they have for years made a
careful study in the lines likely to be de-
manded by the great western nations.
Early Japanese travellers in the West were
greatly pleased with our methods OF house
decorations. Being an exceedingly imita-
tive people, they forthwith began to manu-
facture goods on our designs, and ere long
they began to introduce their own goods
to the West. The commonest observation
teaches that japanese work in beads, car
pets, rugs and BAN boo has driven many
dollar from the home country.
1t is noted particularly and emphasized
by all who know w. ]. Bryan well, that
one of his strong mental weaknesses is his
total inability to see anything on his op-
ponents side of the question. For this
reason his speeches in Congress on the
tariff question singularly ignore any ref
erence to the possibility of dangerous
competition from the Orient. When con-
fronted with the facts of the case BRYAN
and his friends fall back on the general
fallacy that protection is for a special class
interest and derogatory to the entire
country. They suggest no remedy against
the threatened innovation from the
Orient.
