SAT ON WHITE HOUSE FLOOR.
Pretty Girls Grew Tired waiting for
the President.
From the Baltimore Sun

From the Baltimore Sun.
Washington. April 24.-Excursionists
fiocked to the White House before the
President had his breakfast yesterday
They were for the most part pretty
young women in summer gowns. Ar
rangements had been made for them
TO pass in review before the President
and shake his hand at $50 o'clock.
The young women gathered in the
East Room promptly and awaited the
coming of the President. Senators FL
kins and Spooner, who are fighting the
administration on the Cuban question
had engagements with the President
and detained him. Then several rep
resentatives who wanted some post
masters insisted on being heard.
Finally, when the clock struck II and
the President was still engaged, one OF
the girls said she could not stand Ii
any longer and seated herself on the
floor. Half dozen more followed her
example, and in FIVE minutes half the
summer girls in the East Room had
found seats on the carpet. There they
sat in the most unconcerned manner
and chatted about the sights they were
missing while they were waiting.
When the President finally appeared
the word went down the line like
magic and the girls scrambled to their
feet. shook out their skirts and each
asked her neighbor if her hat was on
straight. They they all shook hands
with the President, and he told each
he was delighted to see her. Most of
these unconventional young women
came from Boston.

BARE HEADS IN FASHION.

Going around bareheaded, a custom
which is said to have originated at
Groton, but which is really only Lon
don, has taken a strong hold in New
York in the fashionable set" says the
New York Times. Two summers ago,
young Eunnewell was the only one of
the tennessee doree at Newport who
adopted this fashion. Now a number
of the younger men can be seen riding
in the park in the morning without
hats. On the warmest day of last
week small pony carriage was driv-
en- down Fifth avenue filled with young
people, little girls and lads. The
boys were hatless as they drove up
and down the avenue in the hottest
hour of the day.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Is the Only Medicine That Can
Promptly and Permanently
Danish All Wasting and
Dangerous Diseases.
Ii Restores Lost Health When Phys
leans Pronounce Your Case
Incurable.

If, in springtime, sick people-young
and old-act with promptness, wisdom
ana decision, suffering, agony and mis-
cry would never be carried into the
summer months.
To delay the work of banishing dis
ease, regulating the nerves, purifying
the blood, and restoring perfect diges-
ton is serious mistake.
When the blood is sluggish, impure
and poisoned, when the nervous sys-
tenn is unbalanced, when digestion is
deranged. and the appetite poor and
variable, be assured your condition is
critical, and calls for instant attention
before the summer months bring addi-
tional dangers.
AT this time the use of Paine's Gel
cry Compound will do a marvellous
work for every run down, sick, and
diseased man and woman.
It's fe-giving work first commences
with the blood, which is made clean
and pure; then the nerves are quickly
set in order digestive vigor is fully
restored, the appetite is made natural,
sleep is refreshing, and the responding
heart is made light and joyous.
1t is well to bear in mind that
Paine's Celery Compound owes it's
origin to the most distinguished physi-
clan that this American continent ever
pIouuceu, ana MS marvellous preScIlp-
ton is publicly Endorsed by our best
and ablest physicians.
If all sufferers who have been dis
appointed in the past will promptly
start with Paine's Celery Compound,
they will be astonished and delighted
with the speed with which this Won
derful remedy is able to call a halt
to wasting and dangerous diseases. 1t
is now making tens of thousands well
and strong, and fitting them to enjoy
the summer months which, to the well
and strong, are pleasurable and happy.

IMPROVEMENT OF RAILROAD TERMINALS
AND THE WAR AGAINST GRADE CROSSINGS.
BY CHAS. E. KERN.

the railroad structure would offer to a
comprehensive Improvement of that grand
park A determined fight was waged in the
House. under the leadership of Representa-
tive Cowherd, against this spoliation of
the park but it was unsuccessful in the
face of the determination of the railroad
company and it's friends to retain posses
sion of that which it had occupied free of
rent for so many years.
The combined measure now pending re-
tains the Objectionable bonus to the Balti-
more and Ohio payable jointly by the Dis
trict and the government. and adds the
grant of an equal sum to the Pennsylvania
company in supposed compensation for the
REIMBURSEMENT of the public lands which
it now occupies and which had in addition
been granted by the legislation of 1900. The
Star expressed it's approval of the prin-
ciple upon which this latter bonus was pro-
posed but regarded the matter as being
strictly between the railroad company and
the federal government, the latter owning
the lands and itself paying for the relin-
quishment. An attempt was feebly made
to divide this sum as in the other case be-
tween the District and the government on
the ground that the original grant of the
public space to the Baltimore and Potomac

passed act allowing it to enter the Dis
trct. The Baltimore and Potomac road at
first established it's depot in South Wash
ington, at 9th and c streets southwest,
by virtue of an act of Congress. In
1871 and 1872 the common council first,
and then Congress, authorized the company
to establish it's depot at the corner of 9th
and B streets northwest on land which
was marked on the maps as a great public
park, but which had never been improved
and was partly covered by unsightly
shacks, crazy sheds and miscellaneous de-
bris, which had accumulated through many
years of neglect
1t was not long before the increasing
business of the railroads, the improvement
of the city and the increase in the traffic
the streets began to bring the question
of grade crossings prominently before the
people. For twenty-five years there has

discussion that resulted in the plan for the
elimination of grade crossings now about
to be adopted can appreciate the import
ance of the campaign that has been carried
on in the District by it's citizens led by
The Evening Star to bring about this end
1t is not only that a pan has finally been
agreed upon that is subject for congratu-
alton but it is the fact that this plan in
wolves a solution of the problem on scale
of magnificence that must for generations
to come command the admiration of all.
In the final solution OF this problem there
has been some difference of opinion as to
the division of the cost between the rail-
roads and the District. The Star in
sisted from the outset that the imposition
of the burden of 81 100000 upon the capital
government and District jointly-to aid the
Baltimore and Ohio in defraying its ex-
penses of grade crossing elimination mad
no foundation in equity or in the prevailing
custom in many cities of the norm Where
the railroad terminals have been modern
lied. This paper while the bills were pend
ing before the Fifty-sixth Congress, dis
cussed the subject at great length and Sc
cured the testimony of state and city en-
gineers on the matter of the division of
cost proving to the satisfaction of the Dis
trct and many of the Districts friends in
Congress, that there was no warrant for
the bonus to the Baltimore and Ohio Not
wthstanding this showing the bill was
passed as framed, and a large share of the
cost which should have been borne by the
railroad alone, was foisted off upon the
community, which was furthermore re-
quired to donate street spaces of great
value to the corporation for permanent use
and to bear the cost of incidental damages
outside of the railroads right of way.
The Mall Space.
No such feature was presented by the
bill relating to the Pennsylvania line, al
though The Star objected emphatically
to the grant in perpetuity of the Mall
space not only on grounds of equity, but
in view of the permanent obstacle which

1t was in 1927 that the first charter was
granted to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company to construct a railroad from Bal
timore Nd to the Ohio river. with lateral
railroads in any direction whatsoever in
connection with said railroad" In the
following year Congress authorized the
construction of one of the branches of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad into the Dis
trict of Columbia, with a restriction that it
should not pass through or use any of the
public squares open spaces of the city
without the special consent of Congress- In
authorizing the road to enter the District
Congress provided that the tracks should
be so placed in the thoroughfares that they
would not impede the passage or trans
portation of persons property along the
same" This provision meant in actual
practice very little at the time it was
placed in the charter. A scattered village
received the railroad as a great boon, and

practical use of that provision was seem

B. and O.'s Monopoly Broken.

For many years the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad enjoyed a monopoly of steam rail-
road transportation in the District. Its
monopoly was broken by giving the Balti-

by Maryland in 1853, and in 1867 Congress
