RAIL WHY'S TO SOUTH
FROM WASHINGTON
Little 5oe T5an Forty Years Since o4nytng Bat Steam
Took People to Aquia Creek.

Although the iron horse sped into
Washington in the early days of rail-
road history from the North, yet rail-
roads had been constructed in all por-
tions of the country when over a quar-
ter OF n century later trains came into
Washington from the South. In July,
1885. the railway from Baltimore to
washington reached Bladensburg and
connected with the city by coaches. and
in the early fall of that year trains
came TO and went. from the Baltimore
depot at the corner OF Second Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue.
In the early SOS Alexandria became
connected with the South by the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad. which. at Cor
louisville, connected with the Virginia
Central Railway, running from Rich
mond to stanton and beyond. BY the
Manassas Gap Railroad, which connected
with the Orange road at Manassas. Alex
andria also got railway connection with
the valley of Virginia, and later Alexan-
dria made connection with the Loudoun
and Hampshire Railway at Leesburg.
Only a'Steamboat Line.
Yet with these railways within a
cannon shot of the Capital. Washington
had no railway connection south and re-
lied entirely upon the Potomac steamers
at Aqua Creek to make connection with
Richmond and the South.
James French was the pioneer Of the
railways leading from Alexandria and
the South toward Washington. Mr..
French. who was then one of the ex-
aminers of the Patent Office. patented a
railway car to run on a line upon the
surface of the earth without excavations
or fills. In order to try this patent the
Legislature of Virginia granted to Mr..

In Apple Time.


(From "Songs of the Apple Tree,
Robert Mitchell Floyd.)
In apple pickin', years ago,
NY father'd say to me:
"There's just few big fellows, jim,
away up in the tree.
You shiny up n get 'em;
Don't let any Of 'em fall,
For fallen fruit is skersely
Wuth the gatherin, 1t all.
Then I'd climb up to the very top,
O. that old apple tree,
IN find them apples waitin',-
My.-what bouncin' ones they'd be!
m with the biggest in my mouth,
I'd Chamber down again.
N II l tore my pantaioons.
1t didn't matter-then!
Sence then, in all my ups m downs,
M travelin' around,
never saw good apples, boys,
Allyn on the ground.
Sometimes. Of course, they look alright,
The outside may be fair;
But, when you come to sample 'em,
You'll find q worm hole there.
Then leave behind the windfall,
IN fruit on branches low,
The crowd gifts smaller all the time,
The higher up you go.
The top has many prizes
That are temptln' you m me,
But, II we want to taste 'en,
We've got to climb the tree.

Who Is Judge Clark

Mr.. Bryan replied with much delibera-
ton and in substance this is alleged to
have been his statement: Il have
thought the matter over carefully;
have given it careful consideration for
many months. have no ambition, no
desire to be candidate myself, but | am
interested in the success and well-being
Of the party. have weighed the quail
fcation of every candidate, and I have
come to the conclusion that Judge Clark
Of North Carolina. is the proper man. "
mo doubt you are right was the
Senator's Iaconic response. The CONVEX
sation turned fortunately for the Sena-
tor. and as soon as he could get away
Mr. Blackburn went out upon the street
and of the first friend whom he met he
inquired. Who the devil IS Judge Clark
of North Carolina ?"
After long search and much inquiry he
learned that Judge Clark is a circuit
judge in an isolated district of the Tar
Heel State, who wrote several free silver
pamphlets during the campaign of 1896

thorities are usually Informed before
any great harm IS done.
SO long as the logical result of the
teachings of Mrs, Eddy is this non
observance of quarantine and GER
tainly quarantine has no rational rea-
son for being, If disease does not ex-
island so long as there are people
who carry their faith to such an ex-
IRENE, the whole body of Christian
Scientists will probably have to bear
the odium. 1t is not known that any
of the leaders have made a point of
contradicting these extremists, or that
they have made any serious effort to
curb the extravaganza of certain
members of their following.
1t is not a week since a young
woman died of typhoid fever in West
chester. Pa, without medical attend
ance, because she was a follower of
Mr.. Dowie, and did not believe in
medicines. Doubtless there are thou
sands of Christian Scientists in this
country who repudiate Mr.. Dowie and
all his works, and there is also large
sect among. them processing no al
legiance to Mrs. Eddy. The public
has no concern with these schisms and
variations. They are matters of faith
and not of law.
But the vast majority of people
believe that quarantine is necessary in
case of contagious diseases, and that
it is unjustiiable TO allow anyone to
die for lack of medical attendance
The records of the medical profession
Justify the belief that cases of serious
illness should not be allowed to take
their course without the use of all
possible means for relief and cure.
1t is difficult for the ordinary mind
to see how denial of the operation of
natural law is TO be upheld in a case
of rheumatism, typhoid fever, or
cholera morbus, and not in a case Of
smallpox. This distinction has never
yet been made half as clear to the
public as have the doctrines preached
by dozen leaders of Christian Scien-
fists, to the effect that there is no
pain, no disease, no evil Of any kind,
and that if a man suffers from a be
lief in broken leg it is because he
has not faith enough to believe he can
arise and walk

Russia Will Object.

Now this treaty is about to come 20

indications of her refusal to consent 10
its renewal, and of her resolve 10 take
such advantage OF her position at the
mouth of the Danube as she may deem
fit. The other signatory powers are Ger
tain to object, and the question may be-
come a burning one. But it is very
complicated affair, and as L have men

country who knows so much about it as

Infant Princess Christened.

The little daughter of the ex-Crow-
Princess of Saxony, born under such
singularly sad circumstances at Lindau,
on the Bavarian shores of Lake Con
stance, has been christened, receiving
the names of Pia Maria Monica, and has
been inscribed on the local birth regis
tiers as a princess of the royal house of
Saxony. She is so delicate a child that
the intention of the court of Saxony to
remove the infant from its mother S
care as soon as it attains the age OF
three weeks will probably have to be
modified
1t is related in court circles at
Vienna and at Berlin that the Crown
Prince of Saxony sent telegram to his
former wife congratulating her on the
birth of the child, and conveying kindly
wishes for her speedy recovery. This
tends to confirm the story which l re-
lated here some time ago to the effect
that the prince still retained sentiments
of sincere affection for his former con-
sort, and that as soon as the old King
of Saxony had been gathered to his
fathers reconciliation and a remar-
rage would probably take place
Let me add that it was the ex-Grand
Duchess of Tuscany who was present at
the baptism of her little grandchild.

History of the Ouirinal.

In reply TO the inquiry OF reader
from Chicago, 1 would say that the
Quirinal-that is to say, the metropoli-
tan residence of the King of Italy-was
built in 1874 by Pope Gregory XIII, the
Pontif who reformed the calendar and
gave us the one which now bears his
name and who also invented what is
now known as the Gregorian chant. I'm
til thirty-three years ago the Quirinal
was occasionally used as a residence by
the Popes. but since Rome has become
the capital of United Italy IL has be-
come the abode Of the reigning house OF
Ital..
1t has been very much altered and
added 10 since then. and, indeed, the
major portion. and in fact nearly half
OF the palace as IL now exists may be
said TO have been constructed since 1870.
The residential portion Is almost wholly
new, and ii is the Older part of the
palace-that is to say, that formerly used
by the Popes-that Is now devoted TO
state functions.

Hard TO Please.

The Senator cheerfully complied. He
named Judge Parker, but soon learned
that the New York jurist did not quite
come up TO the standard set by Mr..
Bryan. He then mentioned Senator
German, Senator Hill, Mr.. Olney, Tom
Johnson, Carter Harrison, and half a
dozen others whose names have been
mentioned as possibilities. Mr.. Bryan,
it IS said commented upon every one,
giving his objections to each. and as
signing his reasons for believing that
none of those suggested would quite
meet the requirements.
The Senator's list was finally exhaus-
ted. after he had spoken of more than a
dozen. to some Of whom he could scarce
give his own Endorsement Finally, he
gave up the task OF finding candidate
who would please the examiner, and
turning 20 Mr.. Bryan. he is reported to
have said:
We'll. Mr.. Bryan, If none OF these,
then pray tell me what man you would
choose?"
