Recent additions which have been H.. le
TO this famous collection Of works of art.
under the direction of its present owoer
Mr.. Henry Walters, have enhanced its at
tractiveness very considerably, and make
II probably the finest private collection in
this part Of the country. Among the re-
cent additions is a water color by Mariana
Fortuny, called Faithful Friends" de-
picting an old beggar seated on the ground
with two dogs as hts companions. Fortuny
presented this picture to the committee OF
French artists In 1871 to be sold for the
benefit Of the sufferers from the great Chi
oago fire. II was purchased by Mr. Cut
ting OF New York, and at the death of that
gentleman passed into the hanis of Mr.
Walters Nineteen miniatures have also
been added to the collection, a number of
which are of historic value. They com

ing from the collection Of the Earl Of Chi
chester. and showing the Duke Of York at

OF New York, and Matters "Casini de

Several important additions have also
been made othe oriental gallery notably

TWO beakers. known in England as Long
Eliases.' of the finest period and exceed
ingly rare. A number of porcelains are also
on their way from China, and are ex-
peeted to arrive during the course of the
exhibitions. although they may not be in
place by the opening day.
The idea Of giving exhibitions for the
benefit of the poor was started by William
T. Walters, the founder Of the gallery, and
his plan has been carried ON by his son.
So much has been said about the value and
magnificence Of the collection that further
| praise Is unnecessary In these columns. and
art lovers in Washington will lose q most
happy opportunity II this chance IA allowed

BUYING NEW RAILS.
The u. and o. Has Made Contracts for
6S.O<DO Tons

The receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company have determined to lay
about 800 miles of new track during the
current year. and have awarded contracts
for 5000 tons of new steel rail- The con-
tract for these rails has been placed with
the Carnegie company of Pittsburg, Pa,
and the terms secured are said to have been
the most favorable made in a long time,
being at the rate Of $50 per ton, figure
which will result in a saving of at least
100000, as compared with the price OF
steel rails less than three months ago
1t Is also understood that the receivers
will not issue certificates to pay for these
rails but will take the money out Of the
earnings CT the road, and that they have
about twelve months within which they can
pay for them.

Two conductors ON Excursion Trains,
Ihere has been much discussion within
tne last few years in railroad circles con-
cerning the handling Of excursion and other
trains carrying large numbers of passen-
gers. A number Of times accidents have
happened to these heavily loaded trains
ahd' almost invariably, investigation de-
veioped the fact that the conductor was so
busy taking tickets that he did not have
the time to pay the proper attention to
running the train.
The receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad have been investigating this mat
Ter Tor some time, and have decided that
hereafter whenever there are excursion
trains On the road there shall be two
conductors to each train. 1t will be the
uuty OF one Of these conductors to attend
10 the passengers and collect the tickets
while the other will look after the run
nlng or the train. General Manager Greene
mas issued the following order to general
superntendentS. effective al once:
In view of the coming inaugural when
we VIII nave very large passenger busi-
ness, deem 1t essential that the trains
should be fully manned. You are hereby
authorized to put an extra man on all
these extra trains who will take the
tickets, leaving the regular conductor to
give his full time to the running of the
train.
This not only applies to the inaugural
tion trains. but to all excursion trains in
the future"
IL Is said by many good railroad men that
this Is the only proper solution of the
problem OF handling large numbers of peo-
pie on trains expeditiously and safely.
