morning, was the widow Of Judge George
w. Gist OF Mount Sterling, KY. Mrs. Gist
was one OF the most Intellectual and pro-
gressive women OF the present day. She
was native Of Pennsylvania, but has re-
sided in Washington for more than thirty
years, and during that time has been iden-
titled with every woman's organization in
the city where patriotism, woman's pro-
gress or benevolence was the object to be
subserved, and it was mainly due to her
efforts that a flag floats over every public
school building in Washington.
She was a member Of the PresbyteYian n
Church and actively interested in all re-
ligious work As president OF the Woman's s
National Press Association, regent of Con-
unental Chapter. Daughters of the Amer

donal Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. During the civil war
she was a member Of the Chicago sanitary
commission, and as such was identified
with the hospital work, care Of the soldiers
and the distribution of the sanitary sup
plies.

WORK ALREADY BEGUN
RAILROAD COMPANY Coup1v,r,
WITH ACT OF CONGRESS.
PennsyIvanfa Corporation Proyidfnx
for New Bridge Across Potomac
Applies for Permit.

In a letter to the District Commissioners
requesting permission to Law a tennorarv
sue track on 9th street northwest adjoining
the passenger station, Mr.. Joseph Crawford
general agent OF the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad
Company, states that the company has al
READY pegun the construction of works pro-
Vided for in the act Of Congress of Febru-
airy II, 1901, entitled IAN act to provide for
eliminating certain grade crossings on the
line Of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company in the city of Washington" The
work referred to by Mr.. Crawford is in con-
pecdon with the abutments of the new rail-
read bridge across the Potomac river.
Mr.. Crawford asks for the permit for the
temporary track under a provision OF the
Embarrassing act. He says II is desired
to alter the location OF the track already
existing in eth street 30 as to permit of the
laying OF an additional track without in-
terfering with the facilities for public travel
now existing in the street.
THE necessity eor the LAYING OF the nro-
posed temporary track" says Mr. Crav-
ford, arises out Of the fact that as Won
are probably aware. the construction for
ruary II, 1901, has already begun the COM
pany Tor several days past having been en-
gagged In transporting material and doing
prehmnary work for the construction OF
across the Potomac river. As you
doubtless also aware. the facilities of the
railroad company for handling its passen-
ger, mail and express business originating
ana terminating in this District not 10
speak OF through traffic between the north
and south, have been taxed to the utmost
limit, and it Is apparent from the exper-
ience of the past few days that the added
burden incident to the transportation of tho
materials for the bridge work referred 70
will seriously interfere with the perform
ance of the regular business of the road un-
less relief is afforded by the temporary
track In question.
Permit Wanted to Make Connections.
I'm connection with the permit to lay
the proposed temporary track. I would
also ask that we be accorded the privilege
of connecting said tracks with our station
steam boiler In order that the cara oc-
cupying the same. as they win be largely
mail cars. may be heated by steam, ae re-
quired by law"
The District Commissioners have decided
to refer the application to the city solioi-
tor for an opinion. Mr.. c. b. Hunt, the
computing engineer. has recommended that
the permit be granted. He says the mat
ter was presented orally to the city solic-
itor by Mr.. Bradshaw, of the engineer de-
partment, and the opinion was obtained
that section 4 OF, the act Of February II
1901. conveyed the authority for the tsau-
ance OF such temporary pei mt for the
construction of tracks and also for the
temporary connection of theas tracks by a
pipe with the boiler in the station In the
manner requested.

Within the ensuing fortnight the commls-
sioner of patents is expected to submit to
tho Secretary of the Interior and to the
congressional committees on patents a re-
view of the work done by his office during
the past calendar year. Commissioner
Allen has refused to prepare an ABSTRACT

longs first to his superiors There is COM
petent authority, however, to belleVe the
tenor of the statement will be substantially
as follows.
IT. will be recited that the number of
patents issued during the twelve months
of 1900 exceeds the record OF any previous

system and surpasses the annual Issue OF
every other patent bureau In the world.

annlfcations for patent rights considered
during the year, the commissioners force

og the bureau is that every application re-
ceived by the office shall be considered
within thirty days. With a sufficient force
th,s could be readily achieved by the meth
ode now In use. But the thirty-sfx prInci-
mol examiners of the bureau are all handi-
capped by an inadequate force, SO that only
sixteen Of them have been able to consider
oil the patent applications in their prov
;nces within the month following their as
sie,Iment. Approximately an equal number
have generally undertaken all applications
within forty-dve days. The remaining four
have been swamped. rule has been
adopted in the bureau that all examiners
and their assistants who have been unable
to maintain the thirty-day standard shall
continue at work each week day until S

considered In Connection With
Rights of Owners,

Robert w. Mcpherson Of 1910 10Th street
northwest has sent to the District Com
missioners a copy of a letter ne has for
warded to Senator James Mcmillan chair
man of the Senate District committee in
regard to the proposed legislation on the
subject OF the occupancy Of property abut-
ting on alleys IN the District of Columbia
Mr. Mcpherson says he is informed that
the Commissioners propose to initiate leg
islation looking to a more definite settle
ment of the status Of this character of
property. He adds that the Commissioners
are aware that no inconsiderable part of
the land within the area of the two cities
Is comprised in subdivisions of this char
acter and he respectfully submits that any
legislation proposed should take into con-
sideration the vested rights Of the pro-
prfetors as shown on the records Of the
District of Columbia.
In his letter to Senator Mcmillan, Mr.
Mcpherson says:
Il am informed that 1t is intended to ini-
tiate, with the cooperation of the Commits
sioners Of the District of Columbia, legisla-
tion looking to the abolition Of insanitary
dwellings in alleys In the cities Of Wash

cesion OF presenting some views respecting
the rights of some property owners which

1T was the custom or usage for some
generations back In the cities of Washing
ton and Georgetown. and until a very re-
cent date to subdivide the parts of original
lots which abutted on alleys, and to i'm
prove them with dwellings, which could be

ALLEY lots which have been laid out with

come matters of record in the Office Of the

"A large number Of these subdivisions

K been laid In these alleys by the District of
