give a great deal of unsolicited advice
to officials there as TO how to run
their end Of the Navy Department.
The pet subject for criticism with
these self-constituted advisers. is the
use of the cruiser Columbia as re-
ceiying ship in place of the old frigate
Vermont
ITS a shame to use one of the fast

pose" they declare
When this criticism is voiced to Rear
Admiral Barker the Commandant Of
the yard. he says quietly and tride

CAR JUMPS TRACK.
Notorman Hurt; Lamp Post and Mail Box
Smashed.

a Traction car one Of the first out of
the sheds Jumped the switch at Ninth
and Main Streets yesterday morning at 3
o'clock and made an unsuccessful dive for
the plate- glass windows of the building
formerly occupied by the Polk Miller Drug
Company.
The car was brought to a standstill by
striking the iron lamp-post at the corner,
which supported the mail box. This post
was broken in two places and pieces of
Uncle Sans box were hard to find. The
car followed the owl of the Passcn-
turned up Ninth Street, and as the snow
obscured the switch, it was not noticed
by the motorman to be open, and as a
result the car dashed into it at a good
rate.
The car and windows were badly
smashed, and Motor1nan Jolliff was
thrown o,st and painfully if not seriously
hurt
ington Hotel and DR.. A. G.. Brown was
called TO treat him. After being made as
comfortable as possible, Mr.. Jolliff was
taken to his home at Twenty-ninth and
G Streets.
DR.. Brown found the NIotorlnan to be
suffering from strained back and a
number of small cuts and bruises on va
rious other portions or MS body and he
fears that he may be injured internally
There were no passengers on the car
and Conductor Mcguire was in charge.
The injured man did not know that the
er car had just passec up Ninth Street
and the rule is for the car following TO
turn the switch. The snow and olusn at
that point, confused Mr.. Jolliff and he
