been placed In the window. a man about
fifty years old went into the store and
asked TO look at rings Of a peculiar de-
sign which were IN case in the back

The sharing Of the cost Of the elimina-
tion Of grade crossings between the rail-
ways and the District and General Gov
eminent is entirely in accord with the
presidents in other parts Of the country.
Many Of the States have laws on the sub
ject, fixing the exact proportion TO be

cost. This is the plan adopted by the

The Final Settlements.
The original railway bills provided that
the Baltimore and Ohio should be paid
81 500 .OC0. ana that the Pennsylvania
should be donated the land occupied by IL
on the Mall as an equivalent OF this sum.
The only change from this plan is that
as the Pennsylvania viii nOw give up its
holdings on the Mall it viii be given the
sum Of 81 500 900 the same as the Balti-
more and Ohio
A question has arisen as to how the
Pennsylvania shall be paid this sum One
suggestion is that the District and the
United States shall share equally in the
expense. Another is that as the Govern
ment is to receive back from the railway
its Mall ground it should pay the entire
sum
II is argued against slis latter plan that
it would be manifestly unfair to the
United States. because the ground was
originally all donated Dy it. If now the
Government should pay the entire sum
the District would be at practically no
expense for the elimination Of grad
crossings on the Pennsylvania Railw-y.
No decision has been reached by The Sen
ate committee as yet on this point
