Martha Ferguson, the negress who
was arrested recently. charged with
sending an obscene letter through the

One Editor Rewarded.
cago Times-H Herald.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
A special dispatch from Winamac, Ind,
the metropolis of the Pink Mink marsh,
says that Edit0r Ingram of the Pulaski
County Democratic Journal, a weekly pa
per published at Winamac, has decorated
his office with red. white and blue bunting
and issued 900 extra copies Of his journal
this week.
This display is not. as might be inferred,
a belated celebration of the Fourth of
July or OF the election, for every hoosier
editor keeps a calendar and generally is
ahead of the times-Wednesday's Journal
at Winamac, we venture to assert, is
printed and posted on Monday. Turning to
the editorial page, this explanation is found
in double-leaded prominence:
Mr.. vtn Hazel, a veteran subscriber TO
this paper, brought in a load of wood yes
terday which has been due this Office for
the last thirty-five years. As It rarely hap
pens that we actually get wood that Is
promised us on subscription, we are cele-
brattng this happy event"
And yet 1t Is said sometimes by pessi-
mists that there are no substantial rewards
In modern journalism. We heartily CON-
graduate Brother ingram.

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Contemplated Improvements Of Road
ways in the Suburbs.
DEMANDS OF 4 GROWING POPULATION
The Parks Proposed to Adorn the
Greater Washington.
SOME IMPR ROW E NJ E n T S

Reference has been made to the inf1u-
ence of street railroads In the develop
ment of the suburbs of this city. and in
the opinion of a great many people the
tendency which is more marked each year
to erect homes in the country in the VI
cinity of Washington is due largely
to the convenience well as the quick
ness of access afforded by the various
lines of street railways. Now that the
bicycle is so generally used by all classes
of people. and especially by those who
live some distance away from the center
of business. good deal of attention is be-
slowed by lovers of the wheel on the con-
dition of the suburban roads.
AS is well known. people who have their
carriages Or ride horseback take great
pleasure in driving out over the country
or suburban roads which pass through
such picturesque scenery. 1t is, therefore,
Lot surprising that, as stated, the Com
missioners intend TO ask Congress for
more liberal allowance than usual 1Or the
care ard maintenance of these roads Some
sections OF the roads are macadamiZed
and gravel has been placed over the sur
face of others, while some effort has been
made to provide for the proper drainage of
the roadbeds.
Not Up to the standard.
AS a rule however it is Said that the
suburban drives not in the condition
which is expected of roads in the vicinity
of the city of the population of Washing
ton. 1t is not the purpose, it is said, of
the Commissioners to ask Congress for
additional money for roads in the suburbs
at the expense of pushing forward the i'm
provements of city streets. 1t is said the
Commissioners intend to ask<for much
money to carry on the improvements in
no n hos n
