The Failing Leaf.-The falling IF a
leaf is brought about by the formation
Of a thin layer of vegetable tissue Mt
the point where the leaf stem Joins
the branch of the tree. After the leaf
ceases to make starch and sugar for
the tree, this tissue begins to grow, and
actually cuts the leaf. The falling of
ripe fruit is dependent upon the same
process.

colored, and 1t is said that he visited the
Shepherd alley house two or three weeks
ago, spending the night there. He is said
to have been sick about week, although
no physician was summoned until Monday
morning, which accounts for the delay in
the discovery of the case by the health
department officials.
The house in which Lowery was found Is
also said to be occupied by an Italian tailor.
one Salve, whose daughter Alice. about
twelve years of age. is said to attend
school in the neighborhood. When the

1t was stated at the health office TINS

Mr.. A. Z. RandIe and His Plans for 9
Chesapeake beach Road.


In local railroad circles some interest has
been aroused during the past few days by
the statements made by Mr.. A. e. Randle
who was formerly the president Of the Cap
ital railway which ran through Anacostia
to Congress Heights. that he had succeeded
In interesting New York capitalists in the
project of building the Washington and
Marlboro road, which was projected some
years ago, and for which charter was OBJ
tanned in the year 1895 from Congress for
the District portion.
At that time the Chesapeake Beach road
had not been built and the route Of the
proposed road then selected now parallels
it. The bill gave authority to build the
road from the District line and along the
Suitland road to Pennsylvania avenue ex-
tended, and thence along Railroad avenue
to the Naylor road and across the Eastern
branch by bridge to be built by the COM
pany, and thence north along 18th street
east to Florida avenue, and thence to 7th
street northwest.
Mr. Randle says IT, is the intention to
build this road to Marlboro and all the
way through to The Chesapeake Beach, and
that it will form a feeder to the Capital
Traction system, Some railroad men are of
the opinion that the charter is not now
valid for the reason the road was not COM
pleted within the two years required, but 1t
Is understood that Mr.. Randle thinks that
as the act did not state in so many words
that IL the work was not done within the
period mentioned that The charter would be
forfeited it leaves That instrument alive

Rosa Strathers, a colored girl twenty-three
years Of age, residing in a house Of prosti-
tuition at 1928 D street, decided this after
noon to ''cut it ALL as she frequently ex-
pressed herself. Following her announced
intention, she swallowed large dose of
carbolic acid about 1:5O o'clock. and
twenty-five minutes later was a corpse at
the Emergency Hospital.
Rosa was discovered In her room by an
inmate Of the house. who was curious as to
why she should remain so long abed. The
police were at once notified. and the dying
woman, unconscious when first found,
was hurried to the Emergency Hospital in
the patrol wagon of the first precinct sta

heroic remedies were used to no avail by
the physicians. and at 2:15 o'clock the wo-
man died The coroner was notified but II
