Opening sixteenth Street.

The second bill called up by Mr. Mcmillan
was House bill 1887, to extend S street.
The report accompanying this bill states:
The section known as Belair and Kalo-
rama Heights, lying north of Massachu-
sets avenue and west of Connecticut ave-
nue., has been for the most part subdivided
for ten years. The lands for the streets
have been dedicated to the District of Co
iumbia- No improvements can be made in
this section, however. owing to the fact that
the streets on the east have not been OPEN
ed through two parcels of ground known
as the Kali and futile tracts. The propo-
sition now is to open S, 22d and Decatur
streets through this unsubdivided land, on
condition that the owners of the Kali tract
shall donate sufficient land for the streets
tension Is to be divided between the prop
erty benefited and the District of Column
pfa The expense to the District will not
exceed 1880, sum that will speedily be
returned by the increase in the taxes which
will result from building I'D that subdi-
vision.
THE committee has amended the hill nv
providing for the opening Of 10th street
from Morris street to the District line. on
condition that the owners of the upsnh7j
vided land along the line of 10th street do
nate the right of way to the District of CO.
lumbia.
1.-The whole cost of this extension and
widening will be about $3.50, 900 to the Dis
trict of Columbia, and this sum It is nro-
posed TO take from the surplus revenues of
the District of Columbia, which now
amount to between 100000 and 81 900 600.
and which by the time the street can be
opened will reach 81 100000.
1.-THE committee has considered very care
fully the question of dividing the extension
of openings between the District and the
land benefited. So far as the assessment of
at least one-half the damages on the lands
benefited. the opening of 10th street viii
unquestienabfy increase the value of the
property along that street two or three
fold. and It is only proper that the owners
of these lands should pay for such benefits.
-''1t has been contended before the COM
mfttee that In street-opening cases, as In
other cases, the extension should be shared
by the District Of Columbia and the gen.
eral government. and while your committee
believe In the abstract justice of this prin-
ciple, still they also believe that 1t Is much
better to expend the surplus revenues of
the District In necessary Improvements
than 1t IS to leave that money lying idle In
the treasury. Moreover, 30 long ais the rate

The Prisoner of Zenda Reading.

Mr.. Edgar Judson Ebbets, the well-known
lmpersonator and reader, gave last night
at the Universalist Church dramatic read
ing In condensed form from the novel of
Anthony Hope, and held the entire atten-
ton of his audience throughout
His delineation of the cynical Sapt and
the daredevil Rupert Hentzau were espe-
cially good. and the large gathering evil
denced their approval at it's close by pro-
longed applause. The evenings entertain

Protection Of Game.

protection OF Game.
House bill 2524, for the protection of game
in the District of Columbia, was then taken
up and passed as reported BY the commit
tee, as was House bill 1904, authorizing
the Commissioners to remove dangerous
buildings. The latter 4ylH was passed exact
ly as 1t passed the House., and needs only
the signature of the President to make it
a law.
House Bills Passed.
After the bill for the public library site
had been passed, the following House bills
ware taken UP and passed:
631, to confirm title to lots IS and IL
square $50, in the District.
HOB to regulate the heights of buildings
in the District.

the lands in the city of Washington.
SfS, to provide for assessment certifi-
Gates of the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Mcmillan called up House bill au-
thorizing certain extensions to the lines of
the Capital Traction Company, but Mr..
German said he hoped the bill would be
allowed to go over until another day, when
all the city railroad bills could be consider
ed at one time.
House bill S62S, to punish the impersona-
ton of weighmasters In the District, was
passed.
Sale of IntOxicants on Sunday.
Mr.. Hansbrough called up Senate bill
1928, to prohibit the sale of intoxica ting
liquors on Sunday in the District. Mr..
Hansbrough asked that the bill on this
same subject which has been passed by the
House be substituted for the Senate bill
which passed.
At l o'clock the consideration of District
bills was discontinued. There was no dis
cussion on any of the bills during their con-
sideration, and every bill acted on was
passed in the form it had been reported
from the committee, with the single excep-
ton of the public library bill, which re-
where.

Its immediate fnvigorsting effect in such cases is
shown in the following letter from Mrs. Fannie

on government land. The men We're
released on bonds of 500 each. They
have taken UP government land on
the Augua Fria river at point called
Cool Water Their ranches are
almost denuded of the mesquite tim
Der. Previous to their Indictment S. j.
Holsinger, special agent of the gen
eral land office warned them to stop
cutting such large quantities of wood.
Subsequently he put an attachment on
the timber already cut. fOrbidding its
removal. 1t is claimed that the men
under arrest have conducted n whole
sale wood business; that they have cut
quantities- of wood and sold it to
large. wood yards here. The law per
mits those who have taken up govern
ment land TO cut wood for their own
purposes. But the enforcement of its
nave nOL DCcA 11$Au
for various reasons. WoOd-cTt-
tiers who have brought in a load
of wood. and with the receipts bought
provisions have not been molested and
the law so far has only been enforced
in extreme cases. 1t is said that near
ly all fhe wood consumed in Phoenix
last winter was brought in from gov
eminent land between the Auga Fria
and the White Tank mountains. Ii
is also claimed that men have located |
claims in that district and abandoned |
them after stripping them of timber |!
only to take up other claims.
Deputy United States Marshal Per
terIe visited the Aqua Fria when the I
grand jury met and says |
there had been a great |
amount of wood cut in that /
region, and especially about Cool
Water. In some places the green
wood is piled up in long piles collect
ed for hauling on Il large scale Mr.
Porterie says that on the claims of the
three men under arrest there was a
pile of green wood. which appeared to
him to he about 100 wards long.

WORKMEN'S OPPORTUNITY
Carnegie OF the Westinghouse Project
To Build Works at Manchester

London, July 29-Mr Andrew Car
negie says regarding the Westing-
house company's decision to establish
great works at, Manchester similar TO
tile ones at Pittsburg:
british labor will be almost excIu-
sively employed and the success of the
project depends on what THE British
workman permits the Westinghouse
company to do. If labor restricts the
product of the wonderful machinery.
and # it is not sober and steady as
the American labor, the issue is doubt
full. The Manchester works will have
the great advantage of being near
the consumer. The rivalry of the Pitts
burg and Manchester works vii! be
more important than that of the
Shamrock and Columbia. 1 never
knew business conditions in the
United States to be SO favorable

in the unraveling of the great Peralta-
Reavis fabric.
Mr.. Provost is still young man
He is an American citizen. born in
| Mexico of a French father and a
Mexican mother. He is small of
stature. big of brain, smooth and win
ming of voice and velYety of touch,
He is an accomplished linguist. an
! accomplished lawyer. an accomplished
gentleman and altogether one of the
most accomplished and lovable men
of the western world. Such a CONVEX
Satieralist never came into Arizona
before him and none have been here
since
He was the man selected by the gov
ernment to find the loose end of a
thread in the Reralta-Reavis web
which had been years in weaving and
seemed to be so free of defect that
most of the property owners in the
best part of Arizona believed that the
St Louis adverturer was their land
lord. Mr.. Mallet-PrevOst made care,
full study of the fabric and then Went
to various churches in Mexico and
Spain where Peralta-Reavis had
been before him. He found several
loose ends which only one man fD
many thousands would have
discovered. 'Peralta7Reavis thought
he had hidden them indis-
in his web. Mr..
Mallet-Prevost was not guided
wholly by genius. He had a knowl-
edge of ;ihe b9ws and customs of Mex
leo and Spain through many ages
which Peralta-ReaviS had been I'M
able to acquire. though he had made 1t
the study of his life. When Mr..
Mallet-P-Hvost returned the govern
ment was ready to go 10 trial. He
was present in the last hearing at
Santa Fe mainly as a witness |
He had handed these loose ends to
others and they pulled them, complet- !
ing the unraveling. So outside the
circle of the court of private land

part in the destruction of this stu
pendous scheme was not generally |
known.
He was employed by the Venezuelan
government in. the boundary case
nearly four years ago. He was at
Tucson shortly before going out to

JIM FISK WAS KILLED FOR HER.
Josie Mansfield Now a Woman of Sixty
and Paralyzed.

A little while ago all London went
| to a benefit 10 Lydia Thompson, on
whose stage Josie Mansfeld's charms
shone in this country. Now Josie
Mansfield goes to her sisters house in
Philadelphia, there probably to end
her days.
The once statuesque and lovely wO-
mans right side is paralyzed; she can
not utter a word. Her brain is still
keen and sensitive, her big gray eyes
obserNanG and sympathetic. She I'M
derstands everything that is said to
her. But that her mind is not nicely
hinged is proved by her tendency to
meaningless laughter, by her childish
pleasure in trivial things. Hour after
hour she huns bars of operas or of the
street songs of Paris.
Instructive sermons can be written
around Helen Josephine Mansfield.
Her own parents tried to start her on
the wrong road. So at least Frank
Lawlor, the actor, the Mansfeld's first
husband, always said. He declared he
married her that her parents might
not use her as Matchmaking instru-
ment. Soon Lawlor divorced her. Jim
Fisk took her under his protection and
gave her a house at No. 329 west
Twenty-third street There they and
their friends feasted.
The king of Erie, jealous of Ned
Stokes, threw over Josie Mansfield.
There were threats of publishing
F'isk's letters to her. The tragedy on
the main stairway OF the Grand Cen
trail hotel resulted.
Josie Mansfield sued Fisk's widow
for 5000, 900 she claimed Fisk owed her.
The suit was thrown out of court. She
went to Boston. There crowds boot
ed her on the streets. She fed to
Paris.
In London, in 1891, she married Rob
ert Livingston Reade of this city, a
good fellow rich, of splendid fam
lily. He took her that she might save
him from drink He went crazy, but |
his mind. She divorced |
him.
For three years Josie Mansfield has
been living in Boston, calling herself
Mrs. Josie Welton. Now i'll, sixty |
years old, what memories crowd the !
winter of her days-if memory she |
has?-New York World.
