MUST RESTORE THE STREET.
Abandoned New York Avenue Tracks
Ordered Removed.

Ordered Removed.
C. NJ. D. Browne, IA r Street north
east, has written to the Commissioners re-
questing that the railway tracks in New
York Avenue, between Fifth and Seventh
Streets, be removed. These tracks have
been abandoned, but were formerly used
in connection with the first electric line
in this city.
1t has developed since the receipt Of the
letter that it is the intention Of the En-
gineer Department to require the removal
Of these tracks and the paving Of the
space now occupied by them with asphalt.
Funds suficient for this work were de-
posted by the railway company before the
permit for the reconstruction Of the re-
mainder of their road was issued.
On recommendation Of Commissioner
Beach the Commissioners have agreed to
notify the City and Suburban Railway
Company to remove the tracks and put the
street into good condition within sixty
DAYS from the date Of notice, as required
| BY the provisions Of the act Of Congress
approved June Is, 1898. compelling rail-
way companies to remove abandoned
| tracks.

Prof. H. F. Moore, Of the United States
Fish Commission, has lately conducted an
investigation into. the possibility OF oyster
culture in the Great Salt Lake, and is now

possible to produce oysters in or about
the lake. Its water contains % per cent OF
salty matter, while that of the ocean con-
tains only or per cent, and the oysters
could not live in the lake.

10, THE AUTOMOBILE INN
The Machine Has Opened a New
Field for Women.
One of Them Has Already Arranged
for 0Id-FashiOned Country
of HOrseIess Carriage Travellers.
Her Reason for Expecting Success.

THE automobile has opened a new field
for women who have their own livings to
earn, observed woman the other day who
proposes TO become the proprietor and
manager of a new old fashioned country
inn. People are just beginning to appre-
ciate the many advantages of this novel
means of travel, she observed, 'and by
next season l believe it will not only have
taken the place of horses but for short
pleasure trips must rival the palace and
observation cars.
Don't imagine l refer TO our becoming
motormen as a profession Iilmean that
automobiles will so increase ahe1travel over
country roads that there is tbouhd to be
demand for well-kept public houses-inns
after the manner of those famous in the
days of the stage coach and, which are oc-
casionally run across in England today. 1t
is as keepers of these inns that women will
find new means of earning their living
and it is just such a position as will appeal
to the old-fashioned, womanly woman--the
one who looks well after her hbuse, keeps
a good table. attends to her chickens and
cows and maybe fattens her own roasting
pigs. The place / have taken is on
mountain road, a good days run from

ing, remodeled after the type of the Blue
Dragon the Peacock and other famous hos
telries where l have stopped in Great
Britain. 1t is large house and almost en-
tirely overrun by Virginia creeper, and
while the windows are both broad and tall
the sashes have those diamond loaded panes
we all admire. Then, too, there are several
tall chimneys and a number OF peaks and
gables TO the roof, so you see | really had a
good foundation to begin with as far as
appearances were concerned.
The interior / am having changed. The
walls and ceilings are all modelled on CID
time methods, and so is the furniture. The
beds are high teastered affairs, with deep
valances of white dimity, and the presses
and chests OF drawers all have that cleanly
delightful odor which only bunch of rose
mary and other such sweet-smelling herbs
can give.
And, by the way, perhaps had best tell
you now before forget it. In the kitchen
garden L have planted good supply OF
! herbs for just such purposes and | also
secured several bushes of that old-fash-
ioned sweet rose from which our grand
mothers distilled their rose water, and
used the petals to scatter among their fine
linen and laces. But my gardener tells me
they will not grow in this climate. Do
you know anything about them?" Here
the future innkeeper looked anxiously at
the writer and recognizing a reply in the
negative, heaved sigh of regret and &C n
tinued
''The public rooms will be even more
like those of the English inns than my
bed chambers; for, to tell the truth, while
following foreign models in appearance,
| have made those chambers thoroughly
modern as far as conveniences are concern
ed The floors of the public rooms will be
sanded and some OF them at least strewn
with fresh rushes every week.
There will not be yard of carpet in
the house, and the guests may have feather
beds whenever they prefer them-the thick
downy kind that our grandparents eonstd-
cred so comfortable. The waterworks VIII
only be in evidence in the bathrooms, and
these, though numerous. are not so con-
spicuous as to give their surroundings an
incongruous appearance.
"Of course, / am to have open hreplaceS,
big. old fashioned ones, in every room In
the house, and in each of the wide halls.
They constitute one of the chief charms OF
the place and as wood is both plentiful
and cheap, you may be sure there will al
ways be roaring fires OF big logs when the
weather demands 1t.
e'My glass and china is plain, and where
I could not secure pewter took heavy
old-time plate engraved with the arms OF
my inn; an inn always has arms, you
know. The kitchen is both old and new
1t has all modern conveniences as we'll as
a huge fireplace, roasting spit, and
Dutch oven.
"On the farm and in the gardens l shall
raise all the vegetables, melons, and fruits
used in the inn. | take great pride in my
poultry and cows, and assure you / have

you ask why such inns have not been
thought of before. The people who travel
in horseless carriages will belong to a
wen-to-do class. both willing and able to
pay for such comforts when making trips
through the country in their own machine,
for business or pleasure. They will be
about the same class as these who. in days
gone by journeyed by stage coach. While
not the very weaithiest. perhaps they will
be able to appreciate and pay for the hos
