Familiarity with the prevail
ing standards of etiquette gives
young man a distinct advan-
tage, and he who is sure that he
knows is at ease and conforms
automatically to social require
ment. None can be perfect in
department who has to stop to
consider how things ought to be
done. If a man be a gentle man
at heart the outward polish is
easily acquired-between man
ners and morals the tie is init
mate. A true gentleman is sim
pie, unpretending, natural. He
is courteous ana considerate,
and has the personal dignity
that comes of self.respect, not
self consciousness. He treats
every woman as lady, speaks
we'll of others and recognizes
hospitality as mutual obliga-
ton. Ladies' Home Journal.

Deputy MarshaIs' Mileage.

Controller Tracewell of the Treasury De-
partment In disa;lowing the mileage ac-
count of West Virginia marshal, insists
that deputy marshals shall use the shortest
practical route in taking their prisoners to
jail or in serving warrants. In the case
in question the shortest route lay through
the famous Shooting Creek country, where
1t is said moonshiners made it almost i'm
possible for deputies to convey their pris-
oners in safety. The controller says in
part:
THE government cannot afford, even in
directly. to encourage by a show of fear Of
resistance Of its processes by few ignor-
ant and vicious mountaineers known to In
fest the region In question. 1t is to be, I'M
derstood by them and all others that the
federal government in making arrests for
violations Of its laws will make them and
execute them and not violate it's own laws
regards the mileage of it's officers for
fear Of these outlaws. The government is
perfectly able to cope with these lawbreak-
and lawdefiers, and will furnish it's
officers all necessary assistance to enforce
it's precepts according to its own methods
1t is not its method TO sneak Its prisoners
through out Of the way. places in order to
avoid those persons who seek to defy anI
nullify its mandates

Railway Station Gates.
the Editor Of The Evening Start

/ want to register kick good and hard,
against the outrageous manner Of handling
the travelling public at the 9Th street sta
ton. Possibly the conditions at the Balti-
more and Ohio are bad, but the situation
at that station has not come under my
observation, as has the trouble at 9th
street
During the summer, and particularly on
Saturday afternoons, great crowds leave
this last mentioned station, and the condi-
tons that prevail there are simply abom-
Unable. The gates, which are in reality
two parallel iron rails-a veritable fat mans
misery-are opened few minutes before
the departure of a given train. and then the
fun begins fast and furious. The great.
surgfng mass of humanity is damned
through this small space, each one being
compelled to show his her ticket to the
gateman, who leisurely inspects and punches
it. while the holder is being punched on all
sides by the struggling mass. Commuters
with their bundles-and commuters gener-
ally have an assortment-are held up and
every one delayed by this senseless custom
of showing your ticket In the meantime
the crowd in the rear Is surging forward,
and woe be unto the old and infirm the
young and unprotected who are caught In
this jam. Last Saturday evening this
Kicker to prevent an old and infirm lady
from being literally crushed. had to take
her up bodily and fight against the crowd
to get her safely through this funnel /
also observed little children in their moth
ers' charge almost crushed. This is moth
ing new and has been the rule, not the ex
ception, each summer for several years
past.
This evil should be remedied. In the
large eastern cities-Boston, for instance
where much greater crowds pass in and out
of the stations, no such conditions exist.
The wide gates are opened and the passen-
gers go to their trains without the sense
less custom of showing their tickets. Wash
ington has so many real good kickers that
l have 'refrained from this protest. in hope
that some of the professionals would be
heard from. Their silence impels me,
amateur, to rise up and implore the travel
ing public 10 make such a noise about the
ears of the railway management that this
trouble may be abated. Can't some Of the
other real kickers join in the cutlery?

struction of the permanent way down to
Siguan in the adjoining province.
From Pekin to HankOw.

But by far the most important under
taking in which Russia Is engaged within
the limits of China proper is the construc-
ton Of a great trunk line joining Pekin
with Hankow, which, although nominally
conceded to a Belgian syndicate will, in
reality, be completely controlled by Russia
and France. The finances of the line are,
to all intents and purposes, wholly in the
hands of the Russo-Chinese bank; and the
whole affair has been managed so adroitly
by the Russian and French ministers at
Pekin that while, masking any political
design. they have practically acquired the
ownership and direction of the railway.
Turning to Russia's Junior partner In the
far east the writer goes on to say, one
cannot help observing that the two prin-
cipaI railway projects with which France
Is connected are mainly designed to thWart
British interests On the chief of these.
the Lu-han concession, in which Belgium
was put up as a preliminary blind, the pub
lie Is pretty well informed. The second
scheme is the projected line from Laokai. on
the Tonking frontier. through the valley OF
the Red river, to the capital OF 1unnan.
The route has been recently surveyed. ana
the money for the undertaking has been
guaranteed by the French government. The
railway will therefore be built and Its po-
litical object is not far to seek.
Besides the projected railway to Yunnan-
Flu. France has obtained other concessions
Germany has three railways in contempla-
ton of which two possess little importance
outside her own sphere, unless the lmpe-
rial capital should be removed to kalfong,
In the adjoining province of Honan, IN
which case Kiaschao would become the
chief port Of the empire.

The RaiIrOnd Situation,

1t 10 understood at the interstate COM
merce commission that the next meeting
of the officials of the railroads comprised
in the western trunk line territory, with
the members of the commission, will be
held on September Is, instead of Septem-
Der 4, as originally fixed. The railroad
magnates agreed last year to meet here
four times a year to consider the rate
situation. This situation, as viewed by
the commission, is better now than usual
though there always is more or less COM
plant of failure of roads to strictly MAIN
tain published tariffs. There is some de-
moralization among the transcontinental
lines caused by the low rates based on bids
for transporting soldiers but 1t is con-
dition that is officially sanctioned, al
though the same rates under a contract
with private parties would be sharply in
uuired into.

The bureau of equipment, Navy Depart

to be erected at the United States naval de-
pot at Frenchman's bay. The coaling plant
will have storage capacity for 10000 tons
of bituminous coal and will be provided
with simple but effective machinery for
handling the coal with the greatest posi-
BILE dispatch. There were four bidders who
submitted propositions based on their own
plans as we'll those of the Navy Depart
ment. The bureau of equipment is now tab
ulating these offers, but it will take some
time to tell which is the most acceptable.
The bidders were as follows:

other $780, 800.

Distressing Noises.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
While the subject of whistling coons and
other nocturnal nuisances is being ven
tilated will you allow another subscriber
to give vent to his "howl' over annoyances
experienced while confined in bed for
about a month with typhoid fever, further
aggravated by nervous exhaustion and @
consequent loss of sleep? Living in LIE
Drot Park section, perhaps the most an
noying thing to me was the almost constant
ringing of the bell attached to Howard
University, which. began between and q
am. and banged away at intervals of half
to one hour until 10 pm. AS l lay tossing
about l often wished 1 could get hold OF
that bell and break 1t into a thousand
pieces, together with the ringer. No sooner
when bang, bang. would the music of
the bells" begin, and 1 would roll about IN
nervous agony. Again, in this neighbor-
hood several large ponds are formed by
heavy rains and these are soon filled with
large and small ''croakers," who make
night hideous with their calls one to the
other until far into the night. Thinking
that at last l might get some sleep during
the still, calm hours between midnight
and morning I would close my eyes, when
presently chorus Of half a dozen or more
singers or Whistlers would go by, and In an
instant I was as wide awake as ever. Is
there no rest for the weary In this or
derby city of Giles?

CherbOurg's Increased Importance.

The only new lines of steamers which
have recently been established between the
United States and France are the auxiliary
freight line of the Compagnie Generate
Transatlantique French line) and the line
operated by French-Canadian company,
according to recent letter to the State
Department from Consul Thackara at
Havre, France.
1.-The caEings at Cherbourg of the large
steamers" says the consul, have increas-
ed the maritime Importance of that port.
The commercial situation there, however,
will not be greatly changed until important
improvements are made in the inner har-
Dor At present the transatlantic steamers
have to lie in the outer harbor, and passen-
gers, baggage and merchandise have to be
embarked and disembarked by means of
small steamers"
