a criminal record for himself that
cannot be equaled by any other

RAILROAD ASSURED.

Senator II. Martin has had an
interview last Sunday with Gene
raj Manager Krutschnitt and 9TH
or officials of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Co., and they assured
him that they will build the road
to Breaux Bridge as soon as the
right of way is secured, and will
continue the work to Arnrudvilie
as soon as it is practicable.
Mr.. Krutschnitt will communi-
cate this fact officially to Mr.. E.
A. Duchamp, president of the po-
lice jury, telling him the line they
have selected. Now if the right
of way can be secured immediate
ly, the building of the road will
commence at once.
What will be the result OF the
right of way secured by the Pal
metto and Gulf Railroad which
has been secured from Arnaud-
vile to Breaux Bridge, will they
turn it over to the Southern Paci-
fic, or will they hold it for the
Texas Pacific, or offer it to the
highest bidder and pocket the pro-
fits?
IL no obstruction is put in the
way of the Southern Pacific the
railroad to Breaux Bridge and Ar
naudville will be constructed in a
very short time.
Now it is for the people above
to say whether they want it OF
not; the matter rests entirely
with them.
Since writing the above Mr.
Duchamp has handed Us the fol-
lowing letter:

Possible improvements I'm Railroad
Facilities to Tenleytown.
There are some interesting street railroad
rumors which are just now the subject of
considerable talk among the residents of
what Is known as tine Tenleytown rexioa.
One rumor relates to negotiations which
are said to be In progress and which will
result in the establishment Of the ordinary
city street railroad fare for those who wish
to go from the center of the city or from
any part of 1t to Tenleytown. This is to
be brought about, 1t Is claimed, by a trans
fer arrangement between the GEORGETOWN
and Tenleytown road and the Metropolitan
road, but the officials of the latter road
disclaim any knowledge Of such negotia-
uons. In the meantime, however. i'm
Of the former road. and it is stated that as
soon as this work is completed every other
car will be run from Georgetown all the
way through to Glen Echo and Cabin
John. The portion Of the route from the
District line to Cabin John will be over the
line Of the Glen Echo railroad. This latter
road. as is well known, now extends nearly
to the Chevy Chase Circle. One fare, 1t ts
said, will be charged to the District line
Cabin John, the arrangement In this re-
spect being similar to that which Is fol-
lowed in the transportation of passengers
over the Traction Company's lines to Chevy
Chase and the Glen Echo road. It Is
rumored that the capitalists who now con-
troll the Glen Echo road are contemplating
acquiring q controlling interest in the
Georgetown and Tenleytown. so that the
two roads will be under one management.

NOW A LIEUTENANT.
A Washington Boy Rises From the
Army Ranks.

A washington BOY Kisses FROM the
Army Ranks.
But few readers of the newspapers. prob
ably, noticed in the concluding paragraph
of a long list of army orders published yes
terday the announcement that "The death
of Col Jewett of the 21st Infantry causes
the following promotions in the infantry:
Sergt. A. T. Smith of Company H
of the 9Th Infantry. to be second lieutenant
of the 18th Infantry" The order meant
great deal to one person, however, for 1t
marked the elimination of several years of
the hardest kind of work and effort, and
the crowning point Of lifelong ambition.
1t also brought delight to an unusually
large circle of deeply interested friends Of
the party concerned in this city.
Lieut. Smith of the 18th Infantry, United
States Army, as it should now read, Is the
Alfred T. Smith who. 1t seems, just a
short time ago, was a washington High
School boy. The son Of a deceased army
officer, Alfred Smith was resident of this
city nearly all his life. He passed through
the graded public schools and finally entered
the Central High School The High School
Cadets was his hobby. and from the day
he began duty as a rear-rank private until
he carried Off all the honors as captain of
the prize company of the regiment, in May.
1884, he never was absent from drill Or
assembly of the command. AS he passed
s.cncd officer, 1t was agreed that the High
School Cadets never possessed a member
who was a more thorough soldier In every
particular.
His one aim in life being to follow in the
footsteps of his father and hold commits
sion in the army. Alfred Smith, after re-
ceiving his High School diploma, set to
thinking. He soon reached the conclusion
that an appointment to the Military Acad-
emy at West Point was out of the ques-
ticn, SO he surprised his friends one bright
morning September l. 1894. by proceeding
to a recruiting office and enlisting as an
ordinary soldier in the infantry branch Of
the regular army. He was assigned to the
9th Infantry. stationed at Fort Thomas,
KY. and in a few. weeks word reached
Washington that he had been appointed
corporal and was assigned to special duty
as school teacher. 1t was no surprise to his
friends when it was reported that he had
reached the grade of third sergeant Of
Company H. June II. 1896.
All this time Smith had q commission in
view, and he was working for 1t with all
the energy at his command. The death of
Col. Jewett has provided the required va
cancy, and Third Sergt. Alfred r. Smith OF
Company H, 9th United States Infantry. ie
new Second Lieut. Smith of the 18th United
States Infantry. The nomination was sent

Praytnc, Bicycles for Buddhists.
From the St lanes Gazette

From the St. James Gazette.
To SO great an extent Have the japanese
adopted European methods and models that
an enterprfsing Buddhist has adapted the
bicycle to serve the needs Of the praying
wheel as used by the followers OF his creed
Instead Of attaching the written prayer to
the customary wheel which IL generally
fIfned by q convenient stream Of running
water. the new vogue is to fix the prayer
to the hub Of the bicycle wheel 20 that the
faster the. rider can pedal the better he
can pray. Although there appears to be q
spice OF sacriiege In the practice, 1t is ap-
parentH catching on. for rumor has it
that American firms are already preparing
machines with Buddhist collects embossed
on the tires, SO that the bicycle viii be-
come an instrument Of pleasure and q
rrayer-book combined.
