The Polka.

The polka is the natural dance for
the feet of the people. Take in evidence
It's origin. A Bohemian peasant girl
was seen dancing "Out of her own
head" extemporizing from the sheer
Joy Of her heart song, tune and steps
This she did on a Sunday afternoon in
Elbeleinitz. and an artist, one Josef
Neruda, who spied her, made note Of
all he saw. The people Of the town
adopted the dance and called 1t the
pulka, half step. In 1885 it reached
Prague and Vienna in 1910; thence it
spread rapidly through Europe. When
NJ. Cellarius introduced it to the Pari-
SLAMS, we hear that all else gave way
before 1.-The all absorbing pursuit, the
polka, which embraces in its qualities
the intimacy of the waltz with the Vi
vacity of the Irish jig."-Casselrs Mag

The Horse and the Stage.

Once upon a time in a melodramatic
theatrical performance the leading man
took n fiery, untamed steed on the
stage. After the horse heard some of
the lines delivered by several of the
actors he began kicking the flats and
wings TO pieces, sending them up
among the dies.
"IIelp. helpr cried the leading man.
"Nay, nay" answered the manager.
"The horse shows great discernment.
He is trying to elevate the stage"
Moral.-We should not scorn the
most humble effort in good cause

Commissioners Favorable
to Bill Now Before
Congress.
NEED OF THE IMPROVEMENT
SIGN Authorized Shall Be Completed
Within Two Years From the Date of
the Issuance of Permit

The Commissioners Yesterday submitted
TO the House Committee on the District of
Columbia their report upon House bill
No. 12.S05, requiring the Anacostia and
Potomac River Railroad Company to cx-
tend its Eleventh Street line to Columbia
Heights and Holmead Manor.
''One of the main reasons" they say,
for the extension of Eleventh Street is
the need of additional street car facili-
ties between Seventh and Fourteenth
Streets il the section rorth of Florida
Avenue, and the street was opened with
the general understanding that il was TO
be railroad route
Reasons for Extending Line.
1T traveTses the territory bordering the
thickly settled suburbs of Columbia
Heights and Holmead Manor. and the
trend OF improvements indicates that the
line will probably be built up with dwell
ings within the course of few years.
when the need for railway facilities will
be as great there as they are south OF
Florida Avenue.
1T is believed that this territory should
be served by northern extension of the
Eleventh Street line of the Anacostia and
Potomac River Railroad, and it would
seem that the time has arrived when the
company should be authorized and re-
quired to make the extension.
THE street is not now in condition for
the laying of the street railway tracks
but the Commissioners have submitted
an estimate of $4,000 TO grade and ma
cadamize the roadway, and if this is
granted the street. it is believed, can be
placed in proper shape for the construc
tion of an underground electric railway.
To Be Completed in Two Years
Section OF the bill requires that the
extension authorized shall be completed
within two years from the date OF the
issuance of a permit by the Commission
ers. 1t is recommended that this section
be stricken out and that the following be
inserted in lieu thereof:
Section 9. That the extension herein
authorized shall be completed and cars
regularly operated thereon within two
years from the date of the passage of this
act. Failure to complete said extension
or to operate said cars as herein required
River Railroad Company liable TO fine
of 500 day for each day of such fail
ure. said fine to be recovered in any court

Damages for Injuries.

The testimony offered by the Govern
ment tended TO show that on August 3

damages for personal injuries.
Near the close OF the afternoon ses-

then made motion asking that the court

not guilty against the defendants. The
motion was overruled by Justice Barnard
and Kupferberg was called 10 testify in
