Snow in Front of Reservations.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Once more those disgraceful impediments
to walk along the north side of Pennsyl-
vania avenue-the stretches between 18th
and Gth streets and between 18th and 18th
ticulary-when all the sidewalks were
clean and dry, those two long stretches
were runways of water and mud, repei
lent to men and a terror to ladies. The
street gang had proVidently left enough
snow along the base of the Hancock statue
to keep the whole length of sidewalk COW
cred with a thick coating of mud all day
today. and will probably last through sew
eral days more. They had carefully piled
the snow along the entire length of the
coping, that no portion of the sidewalk
should escape. Then the engineer who eS-
tabiished the grade some years ago at the
junction of Il street ingeniouS,y arranged il
so that all the surface How from Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Il and Sth streets should
concentrate on the line that pedestrians
to the sidewalk IN front Of the Hancock
statue. Then he put the catch basin IN ex-
actly the wrong place This must have
cost him some mental effort, hut he sue
ceeded.
l reiterate that this Is very hurtful to
the trade of Pennsylvania avenue. 1t must
keep great numbers of people from coming
down onto the avenue. The business men
on the avenue should take some steps to
remedy this evil, and the authorities should
certainly see that pedest rians can be able
to pass along the main promenade of the
city without having to wade through long
stretches of quite unnecessary mud and
water JOHN McJ3IROY

who spoke in competition for the honors
all proved to be bright writers and still
better orators. Their work in general was
above criticism and each acquitted himself
creditably. The full list of speakers and
topics was as follows:

Horrible Act of an Insane Woman
Mem Frederick. Md.


Information of a horrible tragedy which
occurred yesterday afternoon near Freder-
lex, Md, reached this city today AS told
to the police authorities of Frederick by
Mr.. David Wachter, husband of the muir
deress. Mrs. Wachter, while insane, placed
their sixteen-y ear-old son in trunk and
Smothered him. About 8 o'clock last even
ing Mr.. Wachter took his wife before JUS
tice White and told the magistrate of the
occurrence Mrs. Wachter stood calm and
composed during the arraignment, and when
her husband had finished his statement she
said: Il felt it to be my duty to do it, as
his time had come and his God wanted
him" She did not seem to realize the
enormity of the crime, and after being
questioned by the magistrate was placed
in a wagon by her husband and accompa-
MED by deputy sheriff, was taken to
Montvue Hospital, to be placed in the In
very meager but it is learned that Mrs
Wachter has been of unSound mind for
some years, but was released from the hos
pital short time ago and returned to her
husband and family cured.
The son who was suffocated was a weak
minded and defo1ned child. Mrs Wachter
took him and, wrapping him in a blanket
placed him in a large trunk and strained
the lid down tight. Her husband was away
from home. When he returned to the
house and inquired about the boy the
mother answered that she did not know
what had become of him. search re-
yealed, however, what the poor woman ha d
done. The boys name was Robert E Lee
Wachter, and he was an invalid from birth
The husband is nearly heartbroken Mrs
Wachter said she knows her act will kill
her parents, but she declared she Would
take her own life at the first opportunity
1t is understood the coroner will hold an
inquest in the case today. The scene of
the crime is about twelve miles from Fred
eriek, and the present condition of the
roads makes the place difficult Of access.

Source of Difficulties.

In the manag cement Of political matters
the existence of two races, the French and
the English, was found to be an embarrass-
ment and a fruitful source of difficulties.
The country, however, had gone on with a
fair measure of success; possessed enor-
nous resources and had before it magni1i-
cent possibilities.
Mr.. Charlton declared it goes without
saying that it was in the highest degree
desirable that the relations between this
country and the United States should be
amicable and friendly. Canada had given
to the United States In tariff matters much
better treatment than she had received,
and the result of her liberal tariff policy
was that the American imports into Can
ada far exceeded Canada's exports to the
United States. Commercial concessions
were asked for by the Canadians. They
should unquestionably be given by the peo-
pie of the United states, and it was of vast
Importance that the arrangement of the
fiscal relations of the two countries should
be uron a basis mutually reasonable and
designed to be equal, which at the present
time was not the case.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-02-22

With regard to the political structure OF
the institutions of Canada. Mr.. Charlton
pointed out that the organic law, or con-
stituti9n, was known the British North
America act. 1t secured a federal union of
the provinces. That of the United States
served as model. but various departures
had been made from it.
The policy of the dominion in some re-
spects, he said, had been somewhat ambi-
tious. very expensive system of canals
connected navigation at tideWater at Mon
treal with the navigable waters of Lake
Superior, and the country had subsidized
and practically built continental line of
railway from Halifax to Vancouver. IL ac-
comphShing the construction of these ex-
pensive works a heavy debt had been in
CURED, which had proved somewhat bur-
densome to the people of this young coun-
try, and the scale of expenditure was high
er than prudence would dictate.
