Walt Whitman and Others.


Doubtless the person, who edited the
names for the new library building had
troubles of his own,' but think he did not
go FAR astray when he selected Walt Whit
man to adorn the walls Whatever some
folks may think of Whitman's poetry there
are many others, especially in Europe. who
regard him as the most original and virile
America has yet produced. There is some
thing more to poetry than rutilant rhythm,
Jingle and tricks with words But there
are others. The line had to be drawn some
where, and if the names Of many dead
authors have been omitted it certainly was
good taste to drop those If the living.
Let ME make suggestion. Cannot We
add to the glories of this beautiful building
painting the lily as it were) by adjoining
the Wills Of some of the rooms. like tine
one set apart for Senators, for instance,
with portraits in oil of famous authors?
All those who have Travelled abroad know
how much oil paintings add to the interest
or galleries, the National Portrait Gal
lery in London; and how far short marble
comes to giving good idea of a man or
woman. Would it not be possible to COM
mission Mr.. Watts, the leading portrait
painter of England, to paint for the library
portraits of such persons. say, as Shakes
peare. Milton, De Foe. Cowper. Coleridge,
Dickens, Browning. Charlotte Bronte, Ten
nyson, Carlyle, HuGibras, Chaucer. Swim
ly as worthy? Why not have one room
for American portraits, one for English,
one for French, for German, for Italian.
and so on? At least we might make a be-
ginning with our own first-class authors.

Some Reasons to suppose That She
Has ElOped.

Some Reasons to suppose That She
Has ElOped.
A good deal of talk has been occasioned
within the past day or two by the disap-
pearance of a young married woman who
is we'll known. especially in German circles.
in Washington. The fact that young
man when she has known for a good many
years left town at the same time lends
color to the belief that there has been an
elopement.
The young woman is Mrs. Rosa Ager.
who lived with her husband on a farm
about two miles beyond Brookland. She
is the daughter of Mrs. Pfuger. and comes
of a family of means. She Is not more
than twenty-five years of age, and was
married eight years ago to Rufus Ager.
vino is employed on the dairy farm that is
operated by his father, Mr.. ]. B. Ager. a
prosperous and well-to-do citizen, who car
ries large milk business in Washing
ten.
Among the men who worked about the
farm and drove one of the milk wagons
was young fellow by the name of George
Smith, who formerly worked for Mrs
Pfuger but went to the Ager farm after
Miss Pnuger became Mrs. Ager He was
regarded as first-class farm hand but
recently the young husband had reason to
suspect that he was too much attached to
Mrs. Aser. 1t is said now by friends of
the family that matters went so far that
Rufus Ager threatened to shoot his wife
and young Smith unless there was radical
improvement. Mrs. Ager insisted that his
jealousy was unfounded. and, partly for
the sake of their seven-year-old daughter,
the husband agreed to let the matter drop.
Wednesday evening Mrs. Ager and Smith
were missed from the farm and since then
nothing has been heard from them. Smith
was in the habit of going to Florida to work
through the fall and winter, and 1t Is sur
missed that the pair have left for the sunny
south.

RAILROAD MEETING.
Annual Gathering of the Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern.


and Ohio Southwestern.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
Railway Company, which is owned and
controlled by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company. was held at Cincinnati
Thursday. and the old board Of directors
was reelected. This also insures the re-
election Of President e. R. Bacon for an
other year when the directors meet for
reorganization.
In view Of the fact that it has been be-
cause of the defiant attitude Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Southwestern Railway
Company toward the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton on the subject Of passenger rates
mored that the Baltimore and Ohio was
about to withdraw from the association
came to be generally credited In railroad
circles, much interest has been manifested
in many quarters to learn whether the true
status of affairs would be made known
at the annual meeting of the stockholders
of the B and o. Southwestern.
AS the refusal Of the baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern through its owners, the Eal-
tiInore and Ohio, to comply with the orders
OF the Joint Traffic Association, ccnst1-
tutes a grave offense, according to the
rules of that body. there has been consider
able anxiety to learn what the Joint Traf-
fic Association proposed to do about 1t.
Thus far they appear to have decided TO
ignore tne dCtlOn OIL FreSluGNt DdCoil.
On this subject President Bacon says In
his report: 1.-The Joint Traffic Association
went into effect on January l, 1896. but un-
fortunately for this property several lines
competitive to it did not join the associa-
ton, and these competitors outside of the
association were enabled to take traffic at
rates which were prohibited to this COM
pany, the result Of which was that the
increased traffic, which the company had
right to expect during the last six months
of the year, was not realized, and sub
stantial part of the net earnings for the
first six months Of the year were lost In
the second six months
THE matter is receiving the attention OF
the board of managers of the Joint Tra f1c
Association, and 1t Is believed that early
in the next fiscal year such determination
will be made as will protect and relieve
this company from these traffic cond Tors,
which have prevailed during a portion OF
this fiscal year."
Continuing. the report says: 1.-The gross
Sc. As, 1893, and operating expenses "a, 2Ss,32
an increase in the former, as compared
with the previous year, of $135,5fO, and in
the latter Of $271 POI, thus producing net
decrease of $135, SOL"
In reference to the report that the Balti-
more and Ohio might, under certain con-
tingencies, withdraw from The Joint Traffic
Association, as above limited, 1t is proper
to state that Receiver Murray of the Balti-
more and Ohio stated within a few days
past that no such move was contemplated
by himself or his coreceiver. Mr. Cowen.

Push Cart Offenders.

The push cart merchants who spend
most Of their time lodging the police and
obstructing the entrances to stores about
the neighborhood of It'll street and Penn
sylvania avenue give the police more trou-
tle than almost any other class of offend
ers. Some of these men have been arrest
ed at least twenty times, but the small
fines imposed have been paid and the law
again violated. Judge Kimball says that
the merchants have some rights which the
court will protect. Yesterday the court
raised the fine to SO, and James Costas
was the first one to pay the increased
amount In imposing this fine the Judge
said he hoped it would serve as warning
to others.
