Eliminating Grade Crossings.

Gl1m1UdI1uS 0EaOc CROSSINGS.
Mr. Gallinger quoted figures to show
what has been done in other cities in the
way Of municipal aid for the elimination
of grade crossings. He said that possibly
he would have no objection to the Patter-
son amendment. but that he would come to
that later. That amendment had not been
placed before the District committee for its
consideration. So far as the railroads were
concerned, he understood that they were
entirely contert to have the matter rest
just where 1t is.
The committee wanted the Improvement
because it would be In accordance with the
project for identifying this city. He SAID
that since further studying the question as
to the rights Of the Baltimore and Potomac
road to occupy the mall he had concluded
that from legal standpoint Congress had
right to remove them from the mall, but
at the same time he did not consider that
that affected the business aspect Of the
question. He did not think that after they
had made their expenditure thfre anybody
would seriously propose doing Chat.
Opposed to Monopoly.
Mr.. Patterson said that he was ready 10
cooperate heartily with the committee on

than to foster the proposed monopoly in

Mr.. Hoar's Comment.

Senator Hoar suggested that the amend
ment Of Mr. Patterson Of Colorado had no
practical Importance. for the reason that
Congress will at all times have a right to
authorize any new railroad company to
come into the District of Columbia, and In
so doing would have right to determine
how their cars should enter the city and
where their terminal should be-
Senator Patterson called the attention of
ar. Hoar to the fact that the bill provides
that the railroad companies may allow
other railroad companies to enter upon
this approach and to use the union station
under such terms as might be agreed upon
by them, but Mr.. Hoar maintained that
the right to allow others to come In and
ne the union station was one that could be
conferred by Congress hereafter. On the
other hand, X Mr. Patterson's amendment

The Companionable Wife.

A Frenchman said recently, "Let
every woman have two hours a day
of serious mental occupation, dur
ing which the faculties Of her mind
will regain their balance, all their
powers will be systematized; her
tired head will be rested, and her
good sense and judgment will regain
their empire, and peace will dwell
in her agitated heart" Every
housekeeper knows the truth OF his
words. The care Of the home may
be delightful occupation, ut II
ought not to exclude every other in
terest. There can be no happiness
for a woman with brain and imagl
nation in life that limits her to
mere domestic drudgery. Every
housekeeper should study herself
and learn her lone talent"-for sh.
surely has one-and turn to its de-
yclopment asa relief. BY so doing
she brings added happiness to he
family as well as to herself. Th'
least companionable wife is the ont
wholly occupied by househord cares
a. an men know in their souls.

queen, was invited when at the eli.

Trafalgar Hats.

The year 1906 was memorable
one. as on Oct. 81 was fought and
gained the battle Of Trafalgar, and
then, as now, iashioa complimented
heroes by devising toilets named in
their honor. So Nelson was com
memoraled by a hat-the "Trafal
gar"-and every woman and child
adopted the wondrous structure
which would Guido even tie head

bill practically concluded its labors
Tor the week. On Friday afternoon
the private pension calendar was
cleared, and on Saturday eulogies
were pronounced on the late Repre-
sentative Polk, Of Pennsylvania,
and the late Senator Kyle, ofSouth
Dakota, This week the bill OF Rep
resentative Adams so amending the
statutes as to permit Of the grant
ing Of passports TO citizens OF our
insular possessions, will be passed,
and will probably be followed by
the Naval appropriation bill, which
will doubtless occupy some time.
There is a provision in the bill, as
reported from the Committee on
Naval Affairs. whereby the Secre-
tary OF the Navy is authorized at
his discretion to build one or more
of the new battleships in govern
ment navy yards. This provision
is approved by the labor organiza-
tions, but is opposed by the repab'
lican machine in the House, and in
the Senate by Senators Hanna and
Mcmillan, who are stockholders ol
the Trust whi.h now constructs
the naval vessels Of the United
States.
There has been prevalent in con
gress a grage suspicion that the al
fairs of the War Department in the
Philippines have been administered
with a lavish hand. The figures
disclosed by the voluminous docu
ments forwarded to the House II
regard to the Pacific transport ser
vice. and which were elected from
the Secretary Of War only by th'
most peremptory resolution, i'm
mediately led to the belief that sim
liar methods had been pursued II

Senator Hansbrough, OF North

sale Of liquor in all public build

has recently adopted rule OF prac-
Itice in his court which has had a
nest bene fetal effect, and which, If
put in practice all over the state,
would do more to expedite business
lin the courts than anything can
imagine. The Judge recently an
nondced that if the attorneys in .
case are not ready to proceed at the
time set for the trial he will dismiss
the cause. OF course he was a lit
tie bit lax in carrying out this rue
at first, in order not to be too strict
with the lawyers. As soon as all
THE attorneys at the bar there knew
what to expect, however, he began
Ito enforce the dictum vigorously,
and several lawyers who we're slow
lin coming at the proper time found
when they did put in tardy ap-
pearance their own delay had de-
Heated their suits, and that the cases
had been ordered dismissed. Pre-
vious to the time the judge an
nounced he would hold all attorneys
to the rule there had been innumer.
