upon this basis In case the company re-
sponsible for a pavement fails or neglects

lied to do the work and must then pro-
coed to recover the amount.
This method works satisfactorily with
such roads as are willing and able to keep
their payemenis in proper repair, that is,
with those roads that do not need the law
but with some the matter has become so
serious that it is necessary TO ask for re-
lief from Congress: the authorities of these
roads pay no attention to the notices sent
them to make the repairs necessary, and it
Is impossible 70 collect anything on the
certificates of Indebtedness, with the re-
suit that the pavements along these roads
are rapidly passing from badly diIapi-
dated TO a dangerous condition. Where the
road is in the hands of "A receiver, as is the
case with two roads at present the diff
cuities of making collection are vastly in
creased.
As remedy for this state of affairs
Nouid propose a law by Congress requir-
ing eacn street car company operating
within the District limits to deposit with
the collector of taxes a certain per cent
or Its gross income, say 4 per cent until
this deposit reached sum amounting To
5000 per mile Of track within the District:
tEls sum to be at the disposal of the Com
missioners for pavement repairs, and to
be deposited with the treasurer of the
United States and held by him in the So me
manner as the guarantee retain of 10

change law which has stood the test Of

that has yet been enacted.
The act providing permanent form of
government for The District OF Columbia
requires a contractor doing work for the
District to give bond equal to the estimated
cost of doing the work under tbs ,ontract.
This bond will have to be carried by the
contractor for several years. The result is
that private parties are not willing to give
their personal bonds upon contract of in
definite length. and nearly all the con-
tractors upon these continuing appropria-
tion contracts have presented surety COM
panies bondsmen. These ccmpanies
charge for the bonds and the result Is that
the District has to pay for the carrying of
the heavy bond of the contractor, and Thus
pays several THOUSAND dollars more than
IT would have to do If the Commissioners

manner several thousand dollars can be

JUS7 AN0THER CRANK.

Rev. Thomas E. Gregory, q Chi cago minister, denounces the bi- cycle as m enemy to health, moral ity and religion. His sensational remarks are quoted by the Times. Herald as follows:
 "The bicycle is menace to the mind. It annihilates the reading habit. The reading-rooms and Ii. braries, as compared with what they used to be, are deserted. 1t is a menace to health. It provokes heart disease, kidney affections, consumption and all sorts of nervous disorders. 1t is a menace to the domestic virtues. 1t breaks up and destroys the home The children are turned into the street or left at home to look out for themselves while father and mother go spin ming. 1t is menace to morality. 1t makes women immodest, and when woman throws off the beau tiful reserve which the Almighty has placed around her she stands on dangerous gS@und. There is no telling what a woman will do after she has lost her womanliness. The bicycle opens the way for everlast- ing ruin to a multitude of young men and women who might other wise escape. It is n menace to re ligion. The churches are being emptied of the young and middle aged. The Sabbath bells call in vain. While they are ringing the boulevards are crowded with souls that are losing their sense of rever- ence. When there is no vision the people perish and the vision is fast dying away. Out in the east there is palm, queen.like among the trees. At the very top of this palm there is tiny bud, and if that bud is cut out the tree dies. The Sab bath with it's worship Of God, is the bud of the tree of human existence without which mans life is dead thing-and the bicycle is cutting out that bud. But l would not seem over pessimistic. The wheel mania is a craze that cannot last forever. Action and reaction are equal, and by and by the insanity must pass away. Experience is our only teacher, but experience does teach. And sooner or later we will learn that, of all the foes of our Christian civilization, the bicycle is the most uneompromising and the most deadly"

Tho commission will estimate in its report that about 300 miles of the road will have to Dc constructed, reach ing from Che Mexican frontier to Luke Tiiioaca, in Peru Only few hundred miles will have to be built by tho Ghil- ean government ia order to connect a terminus of her system with the propos- ed line
 Some trouble is being experienced in estimating the total cost of the line on account of the fact that in some sections tho cost will be 620.

A few years hence she is likely to have abundant means again and will then no doubt contribute with her usual generosity. But we have the best au- thority for saying that, through certain business complications, Mrs. Avery is at present the reverse of rich.
