POSSIBLE CONJUNCTION.
Rumored Deal Between IL. aud q. and

The report is renewed that the Seaboard
Air Line and Baltimore and Ohio will IN
the near future form close union and
while each will continue to be operated in
dependently of the other the arrangements
for the interchange Of business Will make
as close a connection between those two
corporations now exists between the
Southern and Pennsylvania lines.
Evidences multiply that following the
discharge by the United States court at
Baltimore of the receivers OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company the new own
ers of the latter will make a strong effort
TO secure a share of the Southern's traffic
between the north and the south. which
was cut off al this city a few weeks ago
when, through deal between the Southern
and Norfolk and Western railway comma

Underwood of the Baltimore and Ohio,
who Is relied upon by that company's
stockholders to bring the road up 10 a
state of great prosperity.
1t is likewise understood that while the
new owners of the Seaboard are building
the necessary short links TO complete a
Hhe OF their own from Richmond to eX-
treme southern Florida points, the Sea-

more and Ohio, have an entrance controlled
by the Seaboard Air Line and the BaIti-
more and Ohio into Washington, which city

arrangement north OF Richmond
II Is believed to be the plan of the Balti-
more ana Ohio TO before long build a line
south from Washington TO a point near
Quantico, to which place the Seabosrd
would construct Its own tracks. BY this
means the Seaboard would secure an an
ran route between New York and the south

II has always been a notable fact
in Washington that whenever a man
or woman gained especial prominence
in politics. war. or society there APP
reared on the streets Of the capital his
or her double. All the presidents have
had their doubles. and Cleveland used
TO be greatly annoyed when told that
Lawrence Gardner, who was connect
ed with the democratic national COM
mittee from the District of Columbia,
was his exact image EX-Congress-
man Fowler. of New Jersey, took the
greatest delight in being mistaken for
President Mckinley, and il is said he
affected the presidents style and dress
to heighten the resemblance.
One of the female clerks in the
treasury department during the Cleve-
land administration secured many in
vitatIons 10 social entertainments
simply because she looked like Mrs.
Cleveland, and certain hostesses
wanted her presence ut their func-
tons to make the unwary believe that
Mrs. Cleveland was one of the guests.
There have been many facsimiles in
human form of the various army and
navy heroes of the late war constant
" seen about Washington, and their
doings have often caused stories to be
circulated about the originals, which,
Mt times. were embarrassing to the lat
ter. But so far as known, the grip
man who looks like Dewey had not
traded on his resemblance. but seems
content with attending to his work
as Dewey does.-New York Mail and

Method of Shirt Painting.

spirit portraits are painted was de-

day. Frederick Beach is suing to an
null the marriage of his aged mother,
Mrs Harriet f. Beach-Rogers, to
Henry Richardson Rogers, the spirit
ualistic medium.
A letter by Mrs. BeaCh-Rogers was
put in evidence She wrote she had
long yearned for picture of her
mother, deceased. One evening an
4 clean canvas was put on the easel
and many cut flowers of many colors
were placed beside it.
The lights in the room were turned
low. Soon soft, almost inaudible mu-
sic was heard. Mr.. Rogers on a
lounge, went into n trance The spirit
of his mother appeared to Mrs. Beach
Rogers and stood near the easel In.
stantly another shadowy shape took
dim form. The spirit artist dipped n
brush into the vases in which the flow
ers were and drawing the brush over
the canvas rapidly painted portrait
of Mrs ach-Rogers' mother. 1t was
a spleadid likeness. in beautiful bright
colors, and was completed in l. min
uteS.
Frederick Beach testified his mother
had a spirit picture of herself, with
the shade Of Henry Ward Beecher
standing behind her.
"Beecher my guiding spirit" she
told her son.

The English boy choirs are the best

with them TO spend more money on
their choirs, says the St Louis Globe
Democrat. In many of the cathedral
churches in England the boys are
taken into the church school, receive
their education, board, lodging, cloth
ing and are paid an additional com
penSation for their services in the
church. They receive "A daily training
at the hands of competent masters
and the high efficiency of the English
choirs is due 60 the fact Of this daily
exercise in the music OF the church.
Many great church musicians have
graduated from the boy choir. Prof.

certain special cases of great impor-
