500 STILL. OUTSIDE.
agreement AboIishing Commissions
rs Now in Erect.


The agreement abolishing commissions
on all railroads in the United States, with
the exception of the 500, goes into effect
today. Since the first of the year COM
missions have been In force on several
of the roads which were signers Of the
agreement, and to- eaualize conditions the
orders were not made effective for one
month -
The agreement for the present at least
will be binding in all directions. The 500
remains outside the fold, and the officers
of the line indicate that 1t will not con-
cur. Before noon today 1t will be impos-
sible to secure commission on any BUSH
ness, except that over this line, on any
railroad entering the cities.
Whether the agreement will remain in
force is another question. A railroad Of
fetal who is regarded as conservative
made the statement yesterday that with
the 500 out he would give. the agreepent
two months to run. He stated that with
the rush of spring business, and with the
considerable amount of prospective east
bound steamship business from the West
and Northwest, the 500 cannot fail to Sc
cure more than a. share The conditions
are unequal and promise further trouble
between the 500 and the Chicago lines.
This view may be stated to be that of a
considerable number of passenger men.

FISHTOWN'S OLDEN DAYS
4 Piscatorial Mart Before the Cap
ital was Founded.
Unique Old Place Noted for Its In
dustry by Day and RcNelinr When
the sun Set-Its Border-Town Like
irchitecture-Dusk Ncrmaids of
the Potomac Fifty Years Ago.

The fishing seasons of the Potomac River
antodate the foundations of the Capital
Of the United States. When Capt John
Smith came into the Potomac the oars OF
the boats. passing through schools Of FISH
would kill scores of them as they struck
the waters. Washington and Mason were
the owners of fishing shores and carried
on the business. The Alexandria fish wharf
became. early in this century the main
landing place of the Potomac fisheries
Scores OF wagons from all the counties of
this neighborhood, even as far as the Blue
Ridge, were driven in during March, April,
and early May TO secure the supplies OF
herring which was the food fish of the
slaves on the plantations. Even late as
1850 the coming in of wagons continued
and this pen picture of Fishtown at that
time is made by an old newspaper Main
who was familiar with its sights and scenes
for many years. The change. which. early
in March, came over the northeast corner
Of the old city was as great as that which
visits the fields and forests when the magic
of spring replaces snow with green grass
ami covers the naked limbs of the trees
with luxuriant foliage.

room was arranged as a music room. where
daily concerts were given by blind mu-
sicians. The other room was filed with
exhibits of books. maps, and music. and all
sorts of handicrafi done by the blind-kin-
dergarten. woodworking clay modelling.
typewriting fancy work. sewing by hand
and machine. chair Gaming. and broom and
mattress making.
Thus the work of educating the blind and
extending TO them the best and surest help
was auspiciously begun. The home of the
Aid Association contains books printed in
the raised characters as well as maps and
charts but il is found that labor is the
most efficient means for making the blind
forget their affiiction. That toll which
makes rest and recreation sweet to those
gifted with sight is provided for the sight
less and they are given a purpose in life.
II would perhaps be desirable addition
to the life of these afflicted ones to pro-
vides for them means for learning the art
OF music and furnishing them instruments
which. in their leisure moments, would df-
ford them never-ending delight. The eX-
quisite susceptibility of the blind 10 this
most beautiful art cannot be overestimated
and its soothing and refreshing influence
would furnish the most ennobling means
of recreation.

ing to do something which will rescue them
from pauperism.
The story of the founding of the Aid
Association is thus described by Mrs. Hunt
in her last annual report:
''On December s, 1897. about thirty per-
sons met in the parlor of Mrs. Joan Rus
sell Young 1855 Q Street. and discussed
the advisabiity of beginning work among
the blind people of the District of Column

manent officers were elected. The title of
the Aid Association for the Blind of the
District of Columbia was adopted, the
work TO be non-sectarian. On February
Is an officer for the Association was opened
at 1907 Street and kept there until
June l. when ii was transferred for the
summer to Tenleytown. the country home
of the corresponding secretary. During
the first three and half months 25S calls
were received at the Office from the blind
and those interested in the Association.
About forty applications were received for
aid of various kinds. Two cases being es-
pecially urgent in demands for immediate
relief the applicants were allotted rooms
and their expenses paid by the Association.
AT the semi-annual meetings the names
Of the generous friends who had given aid
were read and gratitude expressed From
the School of the Blind at Columbus Ohio
and from several individual friends Il mum
