al Belair several years ago, took his place
on the platform of the chapel, facing about
500 of his fellow-convicts. He is a bright
man and a clever speaker, and his address
seemed to be of intense interest to the
other convicts- He spoke Of the great ben
eft the association is TO the prisoners and
the good it has done and is doing.
1T is theory of mine he said, among
other things that in an institution of
this kind the Intelligent men and the we'll
meaning men owe ii 10 themselves and tc
their fellow prisoners to act in hearty
sympathy with every possible good work,
and as far as the rules will permit. the
most sincere loyalty and active co-opera
tion should be given TO every means ara
measure that will tend TO advance the ID
terests of the inmates.
"One reason why this associat ation should
have our cooperation and cordial support
is that it is the only organization in the
State that is the friend Of the prisoner.
Others may say the State church, and
charity organization societies are friends
of the prisoners. and in support of this
position will point to the large expendi-
lures that have been made TO make US
more comfortable and incidentally that we
might be kept more safely from the people
outside who might break in, molest US.
and make us afraid.

building was not erected because of any
friendship felt for US by the State. Ac-

ABANDONED CAR TRACKS
Many Streets Disfgured and Made

Street Railway Company Indifferent

sioners-A Condition OF Affairs
That Has Existed Long Time.

What is to be done with the abandoned
street railway tracks within the limits of
the District has agitated and now con-
Germs almost everybody, except possibly
the managers OF the corporation known as
the Washington Traction and Electric
Company. The managers Of this corpora
ton are not apparently tTou-
bled as to what shall be done with these
tracks. and they have answered more than
one communication from the District
Building relative to the matter in a way
not at all satisfactory to the Engineer
Department Of the municipal Government.
1t has now been from six to eight
months since the improvements incident
to the working consolidation of lines left
some ten miles of abandoned track within
the District, Much of this has cobble-
stone pavement between the tracks or
some other inferior pavement so that the
streets in which these tracks remain are,
almost without exception, in bad condition,
