The Board Explains.
This bill Is intended to provide a very
desirable street railway connection. The
north end Of the Aqueduct bridge Is the
present terminus of the two principal street
railways of the District. as well as of a
suburban trolley road-the Washington and
Great Falls Railway Company-all Of
| ton at Both. NJ and Prospect streets. The
southern end of the bridge is the terminus
of the trolley lines leading to Falls Church,
to Fort Myer and to the National cemetery
at Arlington. wei! patronized lines, on
which special occasions-notably on
Decoration day-very large crowds are
carried The gap between these existing
lines is the length of the Aqueduct bridge
and a few visits to 1t would satisfy any
enc OF tine propriety of providing, under
proper arrangements, for the transfer by
rail of the large number of foot passengers
who cross 1t from one terminus to the
other. The ease With which a continuous
| trip can be made II the construction here
recommended be carried out would very
greatly augment this travel. and the public
convenience would thereby be increased.
Only ON Present Piers.
| The crossing Of the river by a street rail-
| way can be practically accomplished only
| on the present piers. A new structure
throughout. has been hitherto suggest
ed, would be impracticable for financial
reasons as well as objectionable from con-
alterations of appearance and convenience
The construction of an elevated track
above the present bridge structure has also
been suggested. but aside from its very
large expense and certainly Objectionable
appearance. these are good reasons for not
! overlooking the existing substructuro to

one cent per passenger carried in cars

they are collected.
Sec. 5. That the railway track across the
bridge shall be the east side thereof
and approximately on a level with the

REV. j. WOOD.
Biographical Sketch of the Presiding Elder
of the A. M. E. Church.

Biographical Sketch of the Presiding Elder
of the A. M. E. Church.
The subject of this sketch was born
in Hall county, Georgia, six miles
from Gainesville, May 10, 1888, where
he lived with his parent, Mrs. Mason
Wood, and Mr.. Lem Jones, their only
child, until he was II years of age. He
then went to LumpkIn county, Geor-
gia, to work In the gold mines near
DeloDaga. There he Joined what was
then the Southern Methodist church
under Rev. VIM. Thomas, who now
lives in Way and was styled at
that time great saint. He lived IN
Lumpkin county several years. He at
first, however, was under a man at
DelOnaga named o. Griscol. He re-
manned IN the Southern Methodist
church until after the war.
That the Southern Methodist church
did not harmonIze with his manhood
may be seen in the fact that he Joined
the A. NJ. E. church IN less than ten
minutes after he heard of it. He had
now moved from Lumpkin, or Delon-
ago, to Atlanta, where he met the
Rev. James Lynch, who was on his
way to Ohio. Rev. Lynch stopped
oyer In Atlanta with Brother Robert
Webster.
1t happened that one day our sub
ject was passing along Alabama street.
Brother Webster met him and intro
duced him to Rev. Lynch. Rev. Lynch
said to him: 81 understand you are
preacher here" eyes. am" replied
Rev. Wood. "Don't you want to join
my church," asked Bro. Lynch. 81
belong to church" he replied. "What
kind of church is your's?' "My-
church," answered Bro, Lynch, sis
the A. M. E. church." 81 have not
heard of that church," said Elder
Wood. "Will you tell me something
about it?" "My church, or the one |
belong to-" said Rev. Lynch, has its
own bishops, presiding elders, and
transacts its own business" "Col-
ored bishops, and colored presiding
elders, and cOlored preachers, and
transact their own business?" asked
Elder Wood, IN great surprise. eyes,"
was the reply.
"Well, you will never leave here I'M
til join that church." Rev. Lynch
was standing on the platform of the
car ready to go. Elder Wood was
standing outside of the Car on the
platform of the depot, but raised up
his hands, took the VOW and joined
the church then and there. He then
asked Rev. Lynch to get out and re-
main with him that night. But Rev.
Lynch said he had bought his ticket
and checked his trunk to Chicago and
cOuldVnot do so. Elder Wood said to
him: "Give me your check and will

Wife aud Mother

Keeping her house well and
making the little world over
which she rules happy, faithful,
beautiful, the womanly woman
has neither time nor inclination
for the life of out-of door glaring
publicity which many of the sex
affect. What ambition she has
goes to the fame and being
Of her husband and to the future
success Of her sons. She feels
that it is far more blessed thing
to be the wife and mother of
heroes than parsonage on her
own account, and that the glory
cast by the man whose name she
bears is brighter and more suf-
ficing than any with which she is
able to surround her own name.
She does not wish to make
speeches on platforms, to see her
name in the newspapers, to be a
leader of movements, to talk ar
rant nonsense on difficult subjects;
but she hepls her husband in his
study, in his laboratory, and
many a man has owed as much
of his fame and success to his
wife's quiet AID silent aid as he
has owed to his own native
mower.

Catarrh Means Danger,

Because if unchecked it may lead
directly to consumption. Catarrh
is caused by impure blood. This
fact is fully esta blished. There
tore, it is useless to try to cure
catarrh by outward applications
or inhaiants. The true way to
cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
great blood purifier, cures catarrh
by its power to drive out all i'm.
purities from the blood. Thous.
ands of people testify that they
have been perfectly and perma'
nently cured of catarrh by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.
