We find the schools in good condi-

the finances. There are very few Diff

Mr. Foster said the money paid the ash
contractor is a needless expenditure. Only
few persons are really benefited, and he
thought the money could be expended on
the schools or In some other direction
where 1T would do a greater amount of
good.
The resolution was adopted and referred
to the committee on proposed legislation.
FavOrs Better Police Protection.
DR.. L. D. Walter, chairman Of the COM
mittee on police and fire departments. Of
fered a resolution reciting that the associa-
ton is in hearty accord with the efforts of
Maj. Sylvester in his efforts to secure better
police protection through an increase of the
present numerically inadequate force. He
also moved that the executive committee of
the association urge upon Congress the
early adoption of the recommendation con-
tanned in the estimates of the District Com
missionerS.
Major Burke was the only member of the
association to oppose the resolution. and
when he had concluded his remarks DR.
Walter said the objections were not well
founded. He spoke in the highest terms of
MAJOR sylvester and the policemen under
him, and said that the force is as efficient
as any force in the United States That
the city is in need of such an increase, he
thought no one could successfully deny.
The resolution was adopted.
Railway to GfrdIe City,
Major Burke then offered resolution to
the effect that this association regards
the construction of a military and postal
railway around the city of Washington, to
be owned and controlled exclusively by the
United States, as the most reasonable solu-
ton Of the present railroad problem. and
that we urge upon Congress the necessity
of immediate action in respect to such a
railway, taking in view the esthetic as we'll

The Great Dismal Swamp is a region
strange and interesting, weird and SOL
itary. 1t occupies billowy plain
some forty miles in length by twenty
FIVE miles In breadth along the Allan
tic seaboard. extending from Suffolk.
Va. In southerly direction. well into
the bounds Of North Carolina. Its
deep shades, great stretches of brake
and Its very solitude make 1t region
Of interest. To the naturalist and
sportsman 1t has much to offer. In its
silent Businesses, the black bear finds
home admirably adapted to his pro-
lection and in every way favorable to
his increase. Here amid the dense
growth of underbrush and timber. he
may live in comparative safety. And
there is perhaps no locality in the
whole eastern United States of like ex-
tent which can offer a larger bear pop
ulation than this great morass. The
white-tailed deer is also an abundant
denizen Of the swamp. frequenting the
elevated parts. In addition to the deer
and bears, there is big-game feature
of rather unusual nature. The
swamp abounds in wild cows. These
animals, OF brown color and some
what smaller than the ordinary COW,
having for many years been under the
peculiar conditions Of the swamp, un-
til they are almost completely special
lied, are extremely wild. They are
feralized from the herds of the farms
adjacent to the swamp. and are the de-
back wandered into the Businesses and
were lost to their owners, finally be-
coming wild. Being no longer recog-
nized as property the sportsman may
call game all that he may have the
prowess to shoot. Lake Drummond,
some ten miles from Suffolk, Va, is
the only body of water in the swamp.
1t is beautiful sheet of water, OF an
oval contour, and fringed with n
heavy growth of timber, mostly cy-
press, white cedar and black gum. Its
water is OF dark green color, owing
TO the decaying vegetation OF the sur
rounding country. but is suitable to
drink, and possesses the quality of re-
naming pure longer than most other
water. For this reason 1t is often car
ried to sea by sailors on long voyages.
The characteristic mammalian fauna
is Of semi-tropical nature as regards
the smaller forms. while there are
many tropical plants. OF birds there
are not many kinds. prothonotary.
hooded and Swainson's warblers and
the Maryland yellowthroat being the
principal smaller forms. The trees.
some of which are primeval, are large
and beautiful, while there is a luxuri-
ant growth of ferns and aquatic plants.

SAYINGS and D0IhdS
HotD the Frsncb CsOisfed the
British Lions Gail,

The Petit Bleu Of Brussels publishes
an open letter from the Belgian his
torlan, Barral, to Edmond Rostrand
the author of "LAiglon," which
touches on a curious point of real or
alleged history. Rostand's wife is a
granddaughter of Marshal Gerard,
who in 1882 led French army through
Belgium.
The object of this letter is to ascer-
tain II Nine. Rostand has any papers
Of her grandfather which may throw
lignt on the attack made by his troops
on the British Lion, which stands on
hill at Waterloo. The French SOL
diers. it seems. endeavorcd to over
throw this insulting monument, and 1t
was all that the marshal could do to
prevent its destruction.
Now M. Barral has discovered that
though the British Lion Is still there,
its tail has been sadly twisted, and he
wants to know how and when.
The tall, once borne proudly aloft,
fiamboyant and aggressive, now trails
as Imply and tamely as that OF the
harmless and necessary cat.
In the Brussels Museum is a plaster
cast marked Model of the Lion OF
Waterloo" and this has an erected
tail. while the iron on the battle field
has dropping one.
According to NJ. Barral's account the
French soldiers broke off the lions
tail. which was subsequently replaced
by new one or by the old one in a
new position.
NJ. Barral has also interrogated the
proprietors Of the Belgian foundry
where the lion was cast about 1880.
They state that the original model had
an elevated tail and feel quite certain
that the cast was like unto it.
