WHO ought W KNOW Sdlu ulIeeH.
"Rex" thought it was twenty, but
then the Captain and the madam are
heavy weights and the roads like a
constituencies grocer's sugar-rather
sandy. Yet whatever the distance
and nature of the road the drive was
most delightful just enough sun and
shade and good humor to make it
thoroughly enjoyable
We passed through large grove of
freshly boxed pines which the madam
said reminded her of one of Gustave
Doree's weird paintings, and when
we told the Major the impression it
gave us, his genial countenance as
sumed broad smile as he told us the
anecdote Of a stranger who having
witnessed such a sight and passing
through the grove as the evening
shades appeared, said, II never saw
such a burned lot of grave stones in
so small town." To one who sees
for the first time the ghostly effect
the remark would seem very pat.
Arriving at the farm at about high
noon we were greeted by the Major
and his accomplished family, Mrs.
Petty, Miss Petty and two bright
boys. After bountiful repast, which
elegant strawberries, ice cream and
coffee brought to a close, stroll was
taken over the farm by the Major,
Capt. McNair and the writer, visiting
the strawberry bed of ten acres. Am
I right Major? didn't take notes
and the memory of an "old un" is
treacherous, but 1 do know that
charming young lady told me they
shipped forty bushels one morning
before eight o'clock. The beds were
truly a revelation to one who had
spent his life in a crowded city and
had never seen more than a garden
patch of that delicious fruit of which
DR.. Boteler said more than three hun
bred years ago: "Doubtless God could
have made better berry but doubt
less God never did," l hope the good
old doctors spirit can hover over some
such farm as the Majors and see
what the handiwork of man has done
to assist nature in the perfection Of
his much extolled berry. And then

and other fruit all under perfect cult

early good-bye's were said and the

the healthfulness and beauty and safety of
the city, and all other qualities which tend
to make it a desirable place of residence,
would be immensely enhanced By such a
law. Yet do not think that there is any
provision in the railroad bill which has
passed the Senate for the protection of the
city against the continuance of the smoke
nuisance. This point should not be over
looked. If we are required to contribute
vast sums of money and valuable fran
chises and property rights to railroad com.
panies those companies should be compelled
to treat us as decently as they treat the
people OF other cities. My own idea would
be to have the government build tracks and
terminal facilities and acquire electric en-
gines for the hauling of all trains into or
through the city. and to allow trains to
enter only upon its own terms. In ais way
the corporations might be control ed sum-

Railroads and the Smoke Nuisance.

10 the Editor OF Inc Evening Star:
The discussion of the anti-smoke law in a
recent issue of The Star served to call at
tention to one of the most important mat
tiers that will come before Congress this
winter mean railroad legislation. While
the existing law. whether amended as you
suggest or not, would afford great relief to
the community IL Adequately executed, yet
the smoke from steam railroad engines
passing through the heart of the city at
all hours Of the day and night would still
constitute nuisance I believe, though.
Congress ought to forbid the use Of steam
engines by railroads within the limits of
the District OF Columbia and require the
use of electric engines in their stead. Such
an anti-smoke law would mean something.
