General Howard in St. Johnsbury.-

Gen. o. o. Howard OF Burlington spent
Sunday in town by invitation OF the
Young Mems Christian association. In
the afternoon he spoke at the association
hall which was filled by members and
friends who desired to hear the veteran
general He took as his subject the
Power OF Small Things" drawn from
the scripture "a little lcaven leaveneth
the whole lump" Many of his ilustra-
tions were taken from his own expert
cnces from childhood onward to the
present, showing the Importance OF the
little things as influencing life. In the
evening Gen. Howard addressed a still
larger audience at the union service held
in the North church. He said he was not
a minister and could not preach a SER
mon but wanted to talk little about
the great loving.kindness OF our Heav-
enly Father" He recalled many Incl.
dents W hich came under his own notice
and experience while in the war, of the
love of fathers and mothers for their
sons and how much they did for them
because of this loving and then
compared this with the loving kindness OF
our Heavenly Father, how much greater
that was and how tar-reaching. At the
close he made brief appeal for aid Tor
the Home missionary society of which he
is president, in response to which a col
lection was taken.

DIR. Hazen's Address.-At the recent
celebration of Washington's birthday at
Smith college, Northampton, Mass, DR..
Charles d. Hazen of this town and head
OF the history department OF the college,
delivered an interesting as well as in
structive address, the subject being Some
ideals of American democracy" DR..
Hazen first spoke OF the events of the six
years after the treaty OF Paris, describ-
ing the great difficulties attending the
formation and adoption OF the copsttu-
ton. 1t is matter for wonder and
thankiulness that congress succeeded in
carrying through scheme OF union. 1t
was TO the personal influence OF men like
Washington that this success is due. He
quoted passages referring to Washington
from eminent British and continental
statesmen and historians, all OF which
tended to show the practical sapaci,y
and wisdom of the American statesman.
DR.. Hazen showed from past history
that, while as rule lofty ideas had orig
mated with leaders OF the more cultivated
class, the masses of the people had re
ceived those ideas more readily, and had
been more ready to act on lofty princi.
Piles, than had the aristocracy In con
clusion, he spoke Of the present situation.
and, while admitting that as yet democ.
raey had failed to settle certain questions,
such as that Of municipal government,
the outlook for the future, taking into
consideration the accomplishments Of the
past, is decidedly hopeful.

Buy the highes' priced soap you can
buy and that will be the cheapest in the
end.

Those are the two reasons why mild
soap like Harmless is cheaper at SC. than
it would be at &c. or &c.

appropriation bills. The bill for an in
ternational monetary conference was
taken up and after two hours of ami

legislative stage of the bill and it now
goes to the president The debate on
the bill brought out earnest speeches
from the silver Republican senators
and frequent reference to the break at
the st. Louis convention. Senator
Dubois warned his former Republican
associates that the silver Republicans
had thrown off their old connections
for good. Senator Teller referred to the
choice of MIR. Sherman as secretary
of state and Mr.. Gage as secretary Of
the treasury as indicating that the in.
coming administration would not be in

A Short Session of the City Council,

Iation Was Passed.

in-law, was given a preliminary examina-
tion in the police court last night before
Mayor Thompson The courtroom was
crowded and great indignation was ex-
hibited by those present when they heard
the statements OF the several witnesses, in
Guiding the unfortunate victim. When the
little girl was placed upon the stand her
eyes were wet with tears. She told her
story of the brutal treatment in straight
forward manner, substantially as reported
in The Times.
Mr.. William Zimmerman and William
Beach corroborated the statements of the
child in regard TO Clark having called for
her at Mr.. Beach's house.
Mr.. Zimmerman stated 20 a Times re-
porter last night that the child acknowl-
edged to the members of the family that
Clark had feloniously assaulted her.
Clark made statement, in which he
denied having left his home oa Monday
night.
The only witness called for the defense
was Mr.. Frank Walker, and he knew
nothing about the case, and stated that
he did not see the prisoner after 4 o'clock
Monday afternoon.
Mayor Thompson committed Clark to
Jail to await the action OF the grand jury
of the corporation court.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD own IT
The Railway Franchise on the
Aqueduct Bridge.
The commissioners Oppose Confer
nrPropr.etary Rights Upon the
Great Falls Railroad Company.

House bill No. SO39, introduced at the
last session of Congress, to authorize
the Washington, Arlington and Falls Church
Railway Company to enter the District
nv way of the Aaueduct Bridge, was re-
turned to both Houses by the Commission
ers Yesterday, with a recommendation for
adverse action, for the reason that they
are opposed to investing any company with
proprietary rights in the bridge.
The Commissioners are of the opinion,
however, that the extension OF street rail-
roads, terminating near the south end OF
the Aqueduct Bridge, to the Union pas
sencer station at NJ and Thirty-sixth streets,
would afford much convenience and &c
commodation to the public, and that the
only practicable route for such extension is
over the bridge.
They object to the revival of the fran
cbieses, powers and privileges once con-
ferred upon the Washington and Arlington
Company, which are not deemed judicious
and which long ago expired by liniitati'n.
The board is of the opinion that any rail-
way tracks which may at any time oe 'ald
upcn the Aqueduct Bridge and its ap-
proaches should belong to the public, ana
their use be permitted to any street rail-
wav chartered under.thc laws OF Virginia
and terminating at Rosslyn, under proper
regulations, and for a given rate OF toll,
to be fixed by the Commissioners at not less
than one cent per passenger carried In cars
over the bridge.
The Commissioners believe, also that the
tracks on the bridge should be elevated
above the roadway to height OF IA
feet its full length, and lead into the
Union station at the second floor, which
is arranged for the reception Of cars. The
cost of reconstructing the bridge, they
say. will be about $50, 900, which amount
right be appropriated by the govern
ment or advanced by tie Falls Church
Company, in lieu of the payment OF tolls.
A suggestion is made that should Con
gress decide to grant the Falls Church
Company, or any other, the right to re-
construct the bridge in the manner in
dicated, the company might be reimbursed
for the cost incurred by having the toll:
OF other companies placed to it's credit
until the expenditure is covered, but il
should be a stipulation that the permit
shall not be construed SO as to give the
company any ownership in the bridge
nor to release it from the payment o.
tolls.

says that his spine was injured and his
lower limbs paralyZed, and lie is now 8
helpless, hcdridden cripple He has ex-
pended $500 for medical treatment and
