GOOD NEWS FOR PUBLIC Fair Haven and WestviIIe Railroad Co. to Absorb New Haven Street
 Railway Co.
DIRECTORS HAVE AGREED
4 STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING TO
 RATIFY THE AGREEMENT.

the Public-A Long Step Toward Uni- yersaI Transfers and Single Fares Will
 Almost of Necessity FoIIow-Improved and Shortened Routes.
 A notice printed in this mornings Journal and Courier gives promise of a new era in the history of New Ha- ven's transportational facilities, which has been long predicted and eagerly awaited It appears that the stock holders of the Fair Haven and West vile Railroad company have been sum- moned to take action upon some plan by the New Haven Street Railway com- pany.
 The details of the plan have not yet been made public, but it is authorita- lively stated by the officers of both companies that the directors of the companies have arrived at an agree ment which they will recommend to the stockholders for ratification at their re- spective meetings to be, called, and which, it is believed, will be promptly confirmed by them.
 It Is not announced that any definite plans have yet been adopted with re- spect to the use which shall be made of the united properties. Such plans will naturally await the action of the stock holders. There seems to be little doubt, however, but that many advantages which have been anxiously looked for will accrue to the public, It will al most of necessity follow that mutual transfers will be given over any part of the system of one company to that of the other, within single-fare limits.
 It is morally certain also that some plans will be adopted which will relieve 4he congestion of traffic on Church street. and do away with the shuttle arrangement whereby all cars are run hack and forth from Elm to Chapel streets. It is quite certain, too, that some improved and more direct routes will be established between the center of the city and some of the suburbs. The long-standing grievance of the summer residents at Morris Cove and Lighthouse Point will, no doubt, be remedied by through route from those noints to the center of the city by means of Tomlinsons bridge (unless forbidden by the courts).
 These are but a portion of the advan- tages which the company confidently expects will be realized from the man. apement of these united systems by the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company.

 F4SHODA AFFAIR.
GA Matter," He Asserts "Which Might Develop to the Utmost Gravity"-. British Government Animated by
 Frfendliest Spirit Toward France and
 Does Not Wish to Inflict Humiliation on
Fair Treatment Desired.


 London, Oct. 19.-Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the exchequer. speaking at Northchilds this evening announced that the government had opened negotiations with view of se- curing to the subjects of the various powers "the right of devloping the re- spective spheres in which each country IS especially interested" Regarding the Fashoda question he said he wished cordially to acknowledge the desire evidenced in the speeches of Lord Sal isby and Herbert, Asquith to help the government in the matter, "a matter which might develop to the utmost gravity"
 Tt is impossible he continued, flor France to maintain that she has politi- cal rights at Fashoda. The government is animated by the friendliest spirit to-, ward France and does not wish to in- flict humiliation. What we desire is fair treatment. Our work in Egypt is not completed. Africa is big enough for us both. Surely we ought to be able to agree to respect on another's rights and claims. I hope, trust and believe the question is capable of a friendly solution, but this country has put her foot down. If, unhappily, an other view should be taken by France, the queens ministers know what their duty demands"

Bacon as Food for Soldiers.

Ofall of the meals supplied to the
army, bacon is looked upon as the most
valuable. 1t certainly is the easiest to
handle, the most palatable and serves
the greatest variety of purposes of any
meat known. Properly cooked, bacon
makes not only meat, but an excellent
substitute for butter. AS rule, bacon
is not sufficiently cooked to be most re-
lished 1t should be crisp so that it
will break or very nearly SO. a slice
of bacon that cannot be cut with fork
is not cooked enough to acquire the
best flavor. 1t is quiet out of the ques-
ton to furnish butter for the use of the
army, therefore bacon fat, heated un-
til it smokes, is substitute not to be
lost sight Of.-New York Ledger.

cause he can borrow one has invented a

his own horsehesh. Yes, we know him.
He is first cousin to the man who never
winds his watch for fear of breaking

lative of the man who went into the
yard last winter to soak his hair in
water, let it freeze and then broke it
off in order to cheat the barber out of
hair cut.

END OF THE WORLD.
And of Course the Bible is the
Source of Authority. Now
Get Your Wings Oiled.

"Prepare We for the second coming
of Christ; the twelfth hour is about to
strike"
Captain Charles a. L. Totten, West
Pointer, mathematician, writer invent
or and savant, says the human race
stands upon IAN ominous threshold and
that March next will witness the Sec
ond advent of the Lord which to or
binary intellccts means the end of the
world. In the fullness of truth he
continues, sit means the end of man s

system. The iron crown will be
knocked Off mortal brows. and with an
iron rod immortal hands will hence
forth direct such human affairs as may
survive the crisis. Ii this be not plain,
God help the English understanding
Captain Charles A. l.. Totten, who
predicts the second advent of Christ in
the year 1899 II, is called by the
world Il dreamer, u man of fine, but in
one line of misdirected intellect. Yet
as Il matter of fact, Captain Totten is
one of the few men whose prophecies,
wild as they appear are studied care
fully and approached with respect by
the scientific men of the age. They
are read and studied, perhaps, not
with any shade of belief in them, but
because of the depth of the research
which they display, and of the mathe-
NAUTICAL mind anlytical almost beyond
precedent of which they give evidence.
Totten's name is respected all over
Europe.
This artillery officer bases his pre-
dictions on the Bible and mathematics.
He made Il prophecy seven years ago,
and said that just before the end there
would be Il military era. The Spanish
American war, he now says, is the full
tilment of the prediction. There was
Il strong hint in the foretelliny that an
Anglo-Sa Xon people would be arrayed
against another race in war. Behold
fuilment the second. Russia and Eng
land are to dispute and perhaps go to
war over the eastern question. Lo,

sIBLEY HOSPITAL REoPENED.
An Asylum for Care and Comfort of
Poor Patients


The Sibley Memorial Hospital at the
corner of North Capitol and Pierce
Streets has been reopened and is now
ready TO accommodate the sick poor of
the District. All reputable physicians can
send their poor patients to the institution
where they viii receive the best of care
at the hands of competent nurses. Physi-
clans can attend their own patients, and
in fact are expected to- as there is no res
ident physician at the hospital One thing
requisite for admission of patients will be
evidence of their inability 10 pay for
treatment. Rev. a H. Ames, D. D., is
the superintendent of the institution and
Miss c. A. Aikens as head nurse is in
charge of the hospital proper.
The hospital is the generous gift of the
late William J. Sibley, as a memorial to
his wife and is part of the Lucy Webb
Hayes Training School. conducted by the
Women's Home Missionary Society of the
Methodist Church. 1t was first opened
for the reception of patients on March %,
1895, and for financial reasons was tenn
porarily closed for over a year until the
present month. During the term of its
operation several of the most important
operations known to surgery were per-
formed there successfully and a great
many patients were treated there.
The hospital has two wards and few
private rooms capable of accommodating
in all about twenty-five patients and is
eouipped with a most complete operating
room. 1t is not endowed and is dependent
on voluntary contributions entirely for its
maintenance.

PRAISE FOR POLICEMEN.
Major Sylvester Pleased With Work
Recently Done

Major Richard Sylvester superintendent
of police. has issued the following circu-
lar 10 the members of the police force,
commencing them for their prompt ac-
ton at the time of the escape of Muir

The major has lately concluded an in
vestigation of the alleged carelessness
exhibited by the officers Of the Sixth
precinct, the direct result of which has
not been made public, but from the fact
that no mention of 1t is made in the lat
est circular, il is presumed that the in
quiry exonerated the policemen on duty
at the station. The circular is as fol-
lows:
1T is pleasant to note the general ac-
tivity and interest on the part of the Off
GERS and the individual members of the

The superintendent desires to express
the departments appreciation of the in

members of the force On that occasion.
and he hopes that the same may obtain al
all times, especially when emergency
cases arise in the future.

what can be done by a limited force al

kinds 10 perform.

WIDOW GETS HER PROPERTY.
Justice Coles Warning To Justices
fE,.a

Oh 1he Be5ce
The opinion of Justice Cole, given yes
terday in the case of Cannatello against
Raimondi. viii no doubt have the effect
of making justices of the peace go slow
in their executing judgments against
widows. especially if their whole estate
consists of a few pieces of wearing aD-
parel, bed clothing, and some cooking
utensils Justice Cole, in dismissing the
case. said I'm effect that the law which
permitted a constable to virtually turn
widow out of doors for the purpose of col
lecting a judgment such as was rendered
against Widow Raimondi is a horrible one
and he would find it a hard thing to en-
force it.
The case came up before Justice Cole
in Circuit Court No ] yesterday on an
appeal from Justice of the Peace l.. c.
Strider. who had rendered a judgment for
$50 against Mrs. Ninciniz Raimondi for
assaulting the child of Mrs. Cannatello.
Mrs. Raimondi was not able to pay the
amount OF the judgment and execution
was issued against her.

found nothing at the home of Mrs. Raj

At the trial before Justice of the Peace
Strider Mrs. Raimondi was represented
by Campbell Darlington and Irving Will
hanson, who procured bond for her and
carried the matter TO the Supreme Court

THE FLEMING-SAKS CASE.
Interesting Condition of Affairs De-
veIoped i'm Court

rather unusual condition of affairs
was developed in Circuit Court No l.
Justice Cole presiding, this morning. when
the case of William II. Fleming against
Saks & Co. was called.
Lawyer FTisby, who appeared for the
plaintiff, announced that he was not ready
to proceed with the hearing because of the
absence of his client. Justice Cole asked
where the complainant was and why he
was not present. to which Attorney Fris-
by replied that his client was working for
Saks & Co. and could not spare the time
TO come.
The court said it was rather unusual
condition of circumstances for a man in
the employ of another to be suing him
for damages, but being assured that this
is nevertheless a fact allowed the case
to be passed.
The facts in the case are. as stated by
Frisby. that Saks & Co. insure all their
employees in an accident insurance COM
pany. and Fleming is among those insur-
ed. Some time ago Fleming was injured
while at work in the Saks store and sued
the company for $500 damages before Jus
tice of the Peace Mills. He obtained judg-
ment. and the matter Is now brought to
the Supreme Court OF the District of CO.
lumbia to have it enforced. as IL will be
impossible for the Saks company to COL
lect from the accident company without
judgment having first been obtained
against il.
