The Commissioners are in receipt of
2 communication from David 5. Carll,
civil engineer and general superintendent
calling attention TO the fact that il is
dangerous for cars going cast TO stop at
New Jersey Avenue and 3 Street south
easJ. on the near side Of the street, as
required TO DO by the recent order issued
by the Commissioners. Mr.. CARL states
that the company offers no objections TO
tho stop for the trains bound west, but
he does ask that the trains bound east
should not be required to stop on the near
side lie informs the Commissioners that
il is impossible for trains going up Cap
itol HiH to obtain a high rate Of speed,
and he says they could be- brought to
stop in very short distance at any time
ON reaching New Jersey Avenue.
Mr.. CARL states that he is fearful that
II every train is compelled To stop on the
grade il might lead sometime to serious
results. il the track were slippery and
The trains should start to run backward
down the grade. Mr. CARL adds that it
Is on account Of this danger that the pres
ent regulations OF the company forbid
auy stop al the street crossings on Capt.
tol Hin. between First Street west. and
the east side Of New Jersey Avenue, eX-
Cept in cases OF emergency.

Thomas W. Gumer has written to the
Commissioners and submitted q state

disclaims any desire TO influence the
Board Of Commissioners uuduly or upon

thinks that the police should never for

Poor President LoNbet is in terribly

everything, even Indirectly religious, a
danger to the republic 1t seems that

bending his knee at the elevation of

the gallant and chivalrOus old Marshal
MaeMahon. contented themselves with
merely bowling their heads, holding
that an inclination of the latter con-

of respect-or. rather, of recognition
to the divinity on the part of so exalted
a parsonage as the chief magistrate Of
the French republic.
President Loubet, however. who had

folks who are utterly devoid of those
pretensions and afectations that dis

spent her entire life since her marriage,

future thereby, and it is difficult to
describe the sensation which this act
of reverence created among all present.
1t was done naturally and with that
simplicity and absence of pose which
have characterized President Loubet in

succeeded President Faure; and the
only reason why he has never had any
previous occasion of thus publicly

news in his own family. This he sent

Chicago Inter ocean,
Far away in the southern seas, some 200
miles from the coast of the ancient land
of gOld.'' and almost COO miles from the
sunny country of the Golden Fleece, there
may be deserted little speck of land.
Scientists regard it as an appraised coral
atoll, and take peculiar interest in it
from the fact that it is the only known
tropical island of any large extent which
uD to the last few wears had never been
inhabited by a savage or a civilized race.
1t is called Christmas island. Why, no
man living can tell. As to the date of the
first discovery, the past is equally Obliv-
iOus; yet it has been an object OF spas
mode attention on the part OF VOyagers
on the high seas for at least two and a
half centuries In 1866 the wandering
Dampier OF Holland sighted this small
woody island and since that date il has
appeared in Dutch maps but II was not
until 1885 that a British surveying vessel
succeeded in finding an anchorage and in
landing and partially exploring the island.

Of the commander. in the light OF what
has happened since, is interesting:
Man has never lived on Christmas ISL
and. nor would it be q pleasant residence,
as, apart from the fact that there IS no
water-the rains sin ing into the lime
stone rock-the extreme discomfort of 10
comotion and the absence of any harbor
whence the product could be conveniently
shipped, will deter any settler from seek
ing a nome there until other more favor
able spots are occupied " Within ten
years or 50 after this prophecy the island
had population living and thriving on it
Of some 600 souls, and from the phosphate
deposits found on it a Pactolean stream
