Exchange of Traffic and CONSTRUCTION
of Tracks Discussed.

Tracks DlScusseO.
1t is understood that Mr. James Christy
jr., general manager of the Washington
and Annapolis Electric Railway Company,
which was organized for the purpose of
building an electric line between this city
and Baltimore, with branch to Annapo-
lis. had a conference yesterday in BaIli-
more with Mr.. George r. Webb president
of the united railways of that city, rela-
tive to an exchange of traffic between the
two companies After the close Of the con-
ference announcement was made that the
prospects appeared to be good for an agree
ment looking to the proposed excnange.
A prominent railway official of this city
said this afternoon that there was more
probability that the City and Suburban
railway of this city, which now has it's
terminus at Berwyn. Nd. would in the
near future be extended to Laurel, and that
eventually the line between Laurel and
Ellicott City, Nd. would be built rather
than that new line will be constructed be-
tween Washington and Baltimore.
There is. he said, an agreement in exist
ence, under the terms of which the Balti-
more Security and Trading Company which
owns a charter for the building of a road
between Ellicott City and Laurel, agreed
to construct the proposed line. and an
agreement was made with MIR. Nelson
Perrin. the former president Of the United
Railways of Baltimore, to have the cars Of
the former company enter Baltimore over
the latters rails. When, however, Mr..
George r. Webb, the present president of
the United Railways. entered office. he re-
pudiated the contract entered into by Mr.
Perrin. and a suit is pending to COM
pei the United Company to perform it's
part of the contract
1t Is asserted that most of the right Of
way for the Washington and Annapolis
line. which is to be thirty-one miles in
length, has been secured, and 1t Is promised
that the distance between the two cities
will be covered In about forty-five minutes

Counsel questioned the witness concern
ing his estimate that at night the vessels
of the fleet steamed eight miles to the

was sought to be made that to make this

speed than three knots an hour, which the

Score Four Notable Successes During

LONDON. September 2.-While Mr..
Kruger and DR.. Leyds are drawing up petit
tions to President Roosevelt and the cZar
asking them to intervene the fighting Beers
are helping themselves in South Africa by
celebrating the expiration Of the period in
which Lord Kitchener proclaimed they
must surrender by four notable successes.
killing sixty-eight officers and men, wound
ing sixty-three and capturing five guns and
300 men. The situation is singularly like
the opening of the war, two years ago, the
names of the same places recurring in the
dispatches.
Utrecht, where Major Cough was en-
trapped, was the scene of a similar am
buscade eighteen months back. Acton
Homes where the Beers yesterday reap
peared, is eighteen miles southwest OF
Ladysmith, prominent in the early hostili-
ties and the Natal colonies are mastering

General Joubert invaded Natal in 1899.
In Cape Colony fighting is again going on
south of Stormberg in territory traversed
by raiders and their pursuers half a dozen
times.
British Are Exasperated.
The governments publication of these re-
verses causes an outburst of evaporation
against the conduct of the war, not in
South Africa, but by the ministry. The
great ministerial journels accuse the gov
ernment of trying to run the war ION
the cheap by not providing Lord Kitchener
with sufficient resources.
The Times, while it has no misgivings
as to the final issue, accuses the home au-
thoritieS Of lack of organized, sustained ef-
fort, of a disposition to postpone military
for financial considerations and of failing
to grasp the moral and intellectual dam
age, which the prolongation of the struggle
intiicts on the empire. Other ministerial
supporters aver that precious months
which should have been spent in preparing
for another campaign were wasted in
electioneering and that Lord Kitchener has
not been supplied with the requisites.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Women on the quest for beauty per-
haps do not realize that one rousing
headache will knock a whole day from
their lives.
Brain fatigue induces q headache
that is unbecoming, for it takes at
least three days to recover ones looks
after an attack of it. Vary your oc-
cupation, and do something that can
be classed as manual labor. Diet also
should be chosen with view to the de-
mands on the system made by the
brain.
A woman has not the vitality to be
beautiful without the necessary food
to keep up the circulation of the blood
and the health of the tissues. To eat
wisely, is the hardest thing possible
for a grown-up person to learn. And
it is exactly the lack Of this which de-
stroys good looks the soonest. Father
Time is out of the running when com
and too many sweets
For bilious headaches open-air ex-
ercise is the cure, and, if that is impos-
sible, gymnastic work and singing are
the next best. In everyday life we dc
not properly attend to our respiration
If one observes closely she will see
that singers are younger, fresher and
prettier for their years than women
who have no voice. The imitation OF
the lungs is a life-giving exercise that
affects the whole system. Fifteen min
utes singing the scales would ward of
many a headache arising from slug
gish liver.

snake skin is delicate one to handle and there are not many men who know how to take it off it's owner, tan it and keep 1t in shape for use in a belt. The skin is used for other pur- poses, but most of the good ones are never ahead of the demand.
 Only once in awhile is one of these belts made up for a man. The vast majority of them are worn by women and most of them are made up to or- der. usually being the present of some young man who does not hesitate to tell a story of the capture of the snake that will make the wearer think that he is one of tho bravest snake hunters that ever lived.
 As a matter of fact there is nothing particularly dangerous in the pursuit and killing of a rattler. The snakes are timed and always try to run if there is any chance for them to get away. Usually there is such chance that the snake makes the attempt to escape, and when it does it's capture is assured, unless the hunter is clumsy or the ground very broken. No man ex- perienced in the hunting of snakes ever places himself in a position to be stung by the quarry, and in the case of the hunt of the rattler the prey al- ways gives notice of it's presence be-

switch. A very light blow will break the neck of the snake and then the body may be laid aside until the mus cular contraction has stopped and his snakeship is ready to be skinned and the oil tried out of the body.
 In the country there used to be great faith in the properties of rattlesnake oil as a cure for rheumatism and simi- lar diseases, adn there was always a ready sale for it. Once in awhile a man would turn up with belief that the poison from the glands of the snake was good for the disease from which he was suffering, no matter what it was. The poison is not harrr,- full if it is taken into the stomach, un- less there is an abrasion of the mem branes through which the poison can enter the blood. Mason used to drink the poison once in awhile just to show that it was not harmful, and he told those that saw him do it that the stuff tasted good. No one ever wanted to make an experiment to find out what the flavor was, and Mason's word was taken.
 The supply of snakes is running low of late years, for the war made on them by the farmers and the owners of the pig places in the country is begin ming to tell.--New York Sun.

 Many of the hunters of rattlesnakes are charmers of snakes in way. One of them, Charles Mason, who for years made part of his living by the sale of snake skins and oil to visitors in the Berkshire hills, was able to handle any one of the many snakes he caught alive without apparent effort or dan ger to himself Long experience had accustomed him to the society of ser- pents, and he knew all their habits so well that he was prepared for any move.
 The favorite spot for snake is on the sunny side of a rocky ledge, where it can lie and get warmed through. The serpents go to such places in great numbers, and the hunters, ap- preaching them from behind, catch them with a slip-noose of piano wire at the end of small but rigid pole. Creeping up behind the snakes the hunter slips the moose over the head of the snake that he has selected until N is just behind the triangular head. Then with a quick jerk he draws the snake into the air. Sometimes the force of the jerk is enough to break the neck of the snake, but to make 'ure that 1t is killed the hunter strikes t a smart blow on the head with a
