CLOSED ELECTRIC CARS.
Washington Traction Company r.
ceiving a New supply.

Washington Traction Company Re-
ceiving a New Supply.
New closed cars for service on the va
rious lines of the Washington Traction and
Electric Company are arriving in the city
almost daily, and are being put on the
tracks as speedily as possible. At pres
ent the company is running all of the closed
cars that are in its possession and Is using
its best endeavors to expedite delivery Of
the winter carriages 1T long ago contracted
for.
To provide for the demand for new cars
consequent upon the opening of additional
electric lines the company entered into
contracts for sufficient number of closed
cars last spring. These were to have been
delivered. Vice President Harries said to-
day, by the 18th of October. The COM
pany holding the contract found itself I'M
able to deliver all the cars at that time
but they have been coming in installments
just as speedily as they were finished. 1t
is expected that a dozen or more of the
closed cars will arrive this week. and they
will materially ameliorate the condition ex-
listing some of the lines.
Mr.. VIM. J. F,riZZell today called upon
the District Commissioners for the purpose
of securing, if possible, their assistance in
compelling or inducing the street railway
companies to run closed cars in cold or
very Indictment weather Mr.. FrizZeu par
ticularly complained of the failure to place
closed cars on the Columbia line in such
weather, and also complained to the Com
missioners of what he charges Is lack Of
consideration for or courtesy to the trav-
cling public by that line.
The Commissioners took his complaints
into consideration, stating that they are
examining into the question for the pur-
pose of discovering whether they have au-
thority to compel the companies to run
closed cars in very cold and inclement
weather.

A Protest.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

Many of your readers are indebted to you
for the frequent protests you publish reIat-
ing to the grievous wrong done to our citi-
zens by those who control the trolley roads
in not supplying a sufficient number OF
closed cars as the winter weather APP
proaches. To many persons, even when
the weather is fair, seat in an open car
is Objectionable, as 1t is attended with
great risk of taking a serious cold, and
when it is raining an open car is utterly
unfit for use by a civilized community.
How often do We see an open car with Its
seats drenched from end to end and all the
occupants Of the car obliged to stand! All
that the people ask is that every section OF
the system be provided with an ample sup
ply of closed cars. would suggest that one
Of the medical societies of the city pass a
suitable resolution on this subject, contain
ing positive statement of opinion as to
the Injurious effects caused by the exposure
incurred in riding in open car at this
season of the year. 1t Is all well enough
to provide open cars for the smokers and
for those who prefer them. The question
arises in connection with this subject. and
Is often asked whether the city authorities
have or have not the power to compel the
officers of our trolley roads to provide an
ample supply OF closed cars. y. y.

Like St. Francis of Assist, he has a

imported direct from the loft of j.

best loft in America. This little blue
cock pigeon, winner of the Lake View
Flying club race, has some individual
ity Of his own. Always on the alert for
the rights of himself and mate, he is
extremely sensitive to touch and will
except the owner who dares to Law
hands on him even in the most Gelicate-
~ caressing manner. Encirc.eG on his
right leg is narrow silver band with
his number, 1859, engraved, upon it.
Previous to this long-distance race
this little creature had won three 9TH
crs this season. He came out first in
l00-mile race, and later won in 300 and
500 mile contests. His pedigree sug-
gests not alone blue blood. but almost
"a coat-of-arms, SO large a space on pa

years ole, wears saucy, independent
air as though the dignity of the whole
loft rested entirely on his silver gray

let fly from Las Vegas, N. NJ, and ar
rived in Rogers Park August 3 at ten
a. m, thus making the trip in 10 days
and two hours

CrOD Bulletin.

Following is the summary Of the
North Dakota crop bulletin, issued by
the weather bureau in cooperation
with the North Dakota weather and
crop service, for the week ended Sept.
10, 1900:
While the past week has been more
favorable for harvesting and thresh-
ing than the two preceding ones, still
rains have fallen almost daily in some
sections, retarding all work, and caus-
ing grain to further deteriorate. In
some sections where there has been
no rain, threshing has been going on,
with variable results, most of the
wheat grading low on account of
damage from wet weather.
Harvest may be said to be finished
except OF flax, and of that all sowr
early has been cut, but that sown late
is still green and shows no signs of
ripening, but if not harmed by fros.
within the next two weeks, which
seems improbable, will make a good
crop.
Corn and potatoes are ripe and are
being gathered in most sections. Fod-
der crops are being cut, while the late
rains have caused such rapid growth
OF grass that in most sections plenty
OF hay will be secured for feed.
