AN ACCIDENT.

Last night as number of children
were swinging on heavy gate in the
rear OF the Virginia Cartilage Company's
building, the gate fell on the 6-year- old
sou and the 3yeaI-old daughter Of w.
Cook. The boy was not so seriously in
1ured, although several scalp wounds aud
bruises were visible. The little girl was
picked up insensible A deep cash was
cut over the left eye, --hich was seyed up
by physician. 1t is not thought that
the child's injuries will prove fatal.

Here are a few facts and
figures which will open your

feet above the ravines, although the points
are little more than half mile apart.
The best lines into the city are. hence, by
some route to the Conduit and New Cut
reads. rather than by streets descending
into these valleys. The system has, there
fore. been broken between the points
named above. and streets are run parallel
with the streams lines of easy grades
1t will be noted at A how streets generally
lead to the Conduit road, and how at B
they trend toward the New Cut road, max
ing these highways the trunk lines of
travel for all those parts Immediately fac
Ing the Potomac river.
A Familiar Section.
The next portion Of the plan that de-
manded some special treatment was that
along Connecticut avenue, a section with
which most Washingtonians are familiar
The present condition of the avenue, with
its deep cuts and fills. Is fair example of
what is necessary to be done for the ac-
commodation of any due north and south
street that may cross it. Not only must it
be remembered that these streets, wher-
ever laid out. are to be graded, but the
lots facing thereon must be cut or filled
as well. In order to picture the effect of
such grading map bounded by Woodley
road, Rock creek and Massachusetts, ave-
nue. was prepared SO as to show, in a per-
spective way, what effect grading a
rectangular system has upon lots and pri-
vate holdings. A calculation was care
this small portion below Woodley road.
the amount exceeding 81 DOC, 900. Apply this
to the tracts for the whole length of Con-
necticut avenue extended, which are equal
ly rough. and you have an expense out of
all proportion to the mere benefits of a
rectangular system. The section, although
rough, Is exceedingly picturesque, and a
fine growth Of trees cover much Of it.
New Features Suggested.
The question suggested was whether
some of the natural beauties could not be
woven into a street system and some new
and pleasing feature be added in place of a
stiff ard formal plan. Between Connecti-
cut avenue and the Georgetown road is a
proposed curved drive, which really takes
the place Of an avenue line, and by its de-
viations forms an easier line of travel than
can be found on the Connecticut avenue
extension. East of Connecticut avenue is
another such avenue, leading from Rock
creek to the Connecticut avenue circle at
tie District line. These two avenues take
the place Of north and south streets, and
by their positions render it unnecessary to
make the enormous cuts and fills occaSioned
by straight lines.
East and West Streets.
Concerning the east and west streets it
will be noted that straight lines are the
rule, and that curves. wherever drawn, are
continuous and make no decided break in
the system. These curved east and west
streets are SO located to follow parallel
with the narrow ard deep ravines, the
ridges and streams lying within the mid
die of the block and the streets intersect-
ing Connecticut avenue where the grade
of that avenue comedies with the natural
surface of the land.
1t is not claimed that such a system
will do away with the necessity of grading,

the mission and it's work and for the con-
verts and workers

speeches. The exercises will commence

there will, it Is announced, be impromptu
talks and testimonials from the converts
and others. the list of speakers including
a number of pastors and patrons Speeches

cation will be invited to partake of a light

plan recently started to help the mission by
getting large number OF subscriptions of
that amount, promises to, be very success

heartily approved of the plan. The propo-
sition is to have every friend of the mis-
sion who can do so conveniently contribute
