Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
KENSINGTON, Ma, April II, 1902.
A reception was rendered the Rev and
Mrs. Charles S. Biggs Tuesday evening at
the home of Mr.. Watson W. Eidridge by the
members of st. Paurs M E. Church. A
very pleasant evening was spent, although
there was general regret over the fact that
Mr.. Biggs is to leave this place for new
field. During the evening several speeches
were made, and Mr. and Mrs Biggs were
presented with a handsome tea service as
a token of the esteem of the congregation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Biggs will leave Saturday
morning for Brunswick, Md, to which
place he was appointed by the conference
recently held in Baltimore.
the second annual convention Of the
Young Ladies Single Blessedness Society,
which. was to have taken place Tuesday
evening. was unavoidabiy postponed until
next Tuesday evening. April %, 1902. at 8
o'clock. II will take place in the town hall.
1t is said an excellent entertainment has
been arranged for and an enjoyable evening

lobby in the Pennsylvania railway station
in Philadelphia. s,-:--.
A new possible use of the mammoth wait
ing room in the proposed station has been
suggested The arrangements of the sta
ton are so planned that this waiting room
-2i5 by 135 feet-together with the lunch
room and private entrance on the east side
of the building, could be cut off entirely
from the balance of the Station without
seriously interfering with the operation of
the trains or the coming or going of pas
sengers In that way the Ma gnificent wait
ing room, shown in the illustration,
could be utilized grand inaugural ball
room, with ample provision for retiring
rooms and supper rooms. The possible
of the station for purposes of an inaugural
ball Is lessened by the probability that a
grand armory building will be erected on
18th street below Pennsylvania avenue,
and with large drill room which would be
available for the holding of an inaugural
ball. But the waiting room of the pro-
posed Pennsylvania station, when COM
pleted. will be the most magnificent place
in which to hold an inaugural ball in this
city.

ing In the Senate fixes the cost of the sta
tion at not less than $4,000 600 although 1t
is stated In the report of the Senate COM
mittee acting on the bill that its cost Is
more likely to be s5.0O0,0o0.
The Waiting Room.
The waiting room Of the proposed white
marble station win be one of the most i'm
posing portions of the structure. It's d.
mensions will be colossal, as indeed will be
the dimensions Of the entire structure as
planned. It will be 245 feet long and 135
feet wide. with lofty arched ceiling. A
regiment could pass through it or drill in
one end of the big apartment without inter-
fering with the ordinary course of traffic.
On the right or east Of this waiting room
is ladies' waiting room and lunch room
The lunch room is 4o by 160 feet in dimen-
sions. On the same side Of the sta
tion is a private entrance, which may be
used on occasions of inaugurations or when
some great ceremonials make it desirable
to provide for the reception of incoming
travellers. On the west of the main
entrance are the baggage room, ticket Of
flee and cab entrance, the cabs to have a
stand inside the inclosure. Beyond the
waiting room is the lobby from which pas
sengers pass out of the gates to the trains.
This lobby is so feet wide and $50 feet

portion of the station is ninety feet from
the sidewalk to the caves, yet the enormous
frontage of 76O feet, which is longer than
the Capitol. makes necessary every device
Of the architect in order to give height to
the structure. This IS done by the terracing
Of portion of the plaza. The effect of this
terrace in the Illustration is to give the sta
ton the appearance Of standing much
higher than the middle of the roadway Of
Massachusetts avenue, although as planned
the driveway directly in front of the build
ing is but four feet higher than the mid
die of the avenue. This slightly higher
elevation does not make the grade required
to reach it sufficiently steep to be trouble
some. while 1t insures perfect drainage of
the great plaza, and at the same time TO
that extent lessons the amount of filling re-
uufred along the line of Massa chusetts ave-
nue. which forms one of the most impor-
tant of the problems connected With the
entire plan. The height of the terrace itself
is greater than four feet. as the floor OF the
portion Of the plaza included in the Ter
raced portion Is lower than Massachusetts
avenue and is reached by steps from poth

theological study in teaching and as as

powers of mind. which he improved by
liberal culture. Both in his writings and
oral discourse he was very remarkable for
the clearness, force and elegance of his
style. In the combination of these qualities
he was rarely excelled. In his manner he
was unobtrusive, genial and pleasant. In
his moral and religious character he pre-
sented a rare example Of f1exesHence. Where

under the impression that it was necessary to protect the timber and conserve the water supply and to protect the irrigating interests of the Salt river valley; second, that when it came to the point of per fecting said consolidation it was discovered that the ability of the owners of the odd-numbered sec tions to transfer their lands was so hampered and hedged about that the acquisition by the government of the lands which they could con vey would not effect the purpose intended, and that the government would simply be exchanging valu- able lands for those that are prac- tically of no value; and, third, that an investigation of all the in terests involved or supposed to be involved in the proposed consoli- dation of these reserves makes it perhaps an open question as to whether there exists a necessity for such consolidation"
 It now seems from the present attitude of the secretary that he has forgotten the above statements made and is backing water. How ever, whatever move the govern ment makes it has but three alter natives. First, to consolidate the reserve and pay our indebtedness; second, to consolidate and refuse to pay and be made to pay any how; and, last, to leave us as we are at present. So pay your money and take your choice.

A DaStardly Deed.

About 4 o'clock last Monday morning the night yard men at the local station heard groans emanat- ing from beneath a box car, and upon Investigating, found the per son lying there in a semi-conscious condition. They immediately notified City Marshal Kennedy and together they made a more thorough investigation and found a half nude woman under a very low built car. After considerable difficulty she was taken out in a half dead condition, from exposure to the cold, and taken to her house opposite the coal chutes.
 When the day dawned, and after the woman had regained conscious ness, it was learned by her story and the tracks in the dirt between her house and the railroad tracks, that she had been the victim of an assault. It appears that the wom- an came here recently from Pres colt and rented a house down on the row. Some time during Mon day night a man went to the house and forced an entrance. It appears that a struggle ensued and the tracks in the dirt showed that the woman had been dragged along the ground to the railroad and thrown under the car where she was found later on.
 From the meager description she was able to furnish, and a time book found on the trail, it is pre- stunned that the deed was committed by an Indian employed at the chutes who has since been missing.

The Reserve Question
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST FACE


 These lands were purchased by this company because of the timber supposed to be located thereon, and in pursuance of the purposes for which this company was formed, extensive mills have been establish ed in the locality of these lands. The company having expended in the construction of such mills, rail roads, and other adjuncts a sum fully equaling if not exceeding $3OO,OOO, and it naturally expects to continue the operation of these mills, and has never understood that it was expected to discontinue such operation for no other return than the mere exchange of lands, which it had previously at great expense located and purchased. It has, however, fully realized the urgent needs of the people in the Salt river valley, and has endeav- ored in every possible way to lend itself to the accomplishment of that purpose by the creation of a forest reservation, which would not, how ever, absolutely destroy the plant hereinabove referred to and the operation of the same.
 "With that desire it stands now ready to relinquish to the United States government, on the terms and conditions set forth in your letter of January II, 1901, 90,OO0 acres of the total acreage of 123 900 owned by it.
 ''The 33,0O0 acres which the com pany is not prepared to agree to relinquish to the United States are described upon the inclosed list"
 Further proof, if any were neces- sary is shown by the following extract from a letter to the secre- tary signed by E. B. Perrin:
 ''So far as the Saginaw and Man istee Lumber company is concerned, I am informed that it owns large body of lands within the proposed reservation, aggregating something like 120,0O acres, concerning which I am not able to say what particu- lar disposition they will make to the government, but believe that as to same their position will be fully set forth in communication direct. Said Saginaw and Manistee Lum- Der company have, however, a direct interest in the lands owned by me, the interest in question be- ing a right to cut the timber and remove the same from all of the lands so owned until 1926"

few years has caused some to ask the
question: Are they worth the price
paid for them?'
way they are. In some instances they
may fail to pays fair rate of interest
on the money invested. but that may
not be the fault Of the land, but the
fault of the farmer. The. value Of farm
lands must be determined by the pos
siblties of their production and not
what they may be actually producing.
The way to determine the value of any
thing is by the amount of the profits
it will earn.
The day has passed when anybody
can buy piece of land in this section
and farm it profitably. Not because
the soil will not produce as much now
as in the past, but because of the in
crease in ahe market value of the land.

getting out of order and makes it easy

among people Interested in dairying at
the Pan-American exposition at Buff
falo, where it was awarded the gold

machine, considering that New York is
the greatest dairying state in the union.
Fifty consecutive tests showed
the loss per COW during a year to be
less than seven ounces OF butter fat.
This is practically nothing compared
with the loss per COW by the setting

to fifty pounds per year. This goes to
