THE BELT LINES.
THE BEST SERVICE FOR THE
GREATEST NUMBER.
F2cts Instead of Exaggerations and
Misrepresentation -Consiiera-
ton by the People.

There has been a great dear said of
proposed bee lines and short lines and
belt lines which have nystihed and mis-
led large number of citizens who are
directly interested The Belt Line propo-
sitions are in the keeping of committee
of the council of which Hon. F. A. Ius-
ten is the chairman. These gentlemen
have been and are guided by the best in
terests of the people, and in the consid-
Grafton of Belt Line proposition favor
the service which will meet the demand
of the greatest number of the people.
1t may be said that two propositions
will be submitted to the council which
may be divided into an outside and an
inside belt. On the inside belt swo cars
would be operated and three cars on
the outside.
The present belt we may say for illus
tration begins at the postoffice and eN-
tends ub Texas street to Texas avenue,
thence to Jordan street to the pagoda,
Crockett, thence to Market, thence to
Milan, thence to Spring, thence to
Texas UP to the postohice. This belt will
not be changed.
AS another proposition it is Desired to
operate the cars from the postofice up
Texas street to Jordan, thence to White
street, On White to Stoner avenue, on
Stoner avenue to Marshall down Mar
shall to the postofice. This road would
open new territory not now accessible to
the cars.
Another proposition is that of Mr.
Conger, who is urging a petition from
residents of Texarkana Annex request
ing an extension from the pagoda on
Jordan street to four blocks TO Irvine
place. Should this proposition be adopt
ed, it would lead to line being operat-
ed from Wichita street, Texarkana An
mex, down Donovan or Louisiana street
to Crockett, to Marshall and On Mar
shall to the postofice.
There would be transfers at the post
office and on Texas avenue and corner
of Jordan street. -
This is in substance the propositions
simplihed It was never intended to dis
continue the service over Texas street
from the postof6ce to Crockett and
Marshall. Having full confidence in the
integrity and intelligence of the council,
who, with Mayor Queries, have at heart
the best interest of the city as well as
the welfare of the people always in
view, no fear Or apprehension need be |
entertained of any acts which would be
a discredit to them. 1t is intended to |
protect the interests of every citizen re-
siding on or having property along the
present belt line, but the council and the
mayor, as intelligent, progressive citi-
zens, will favor the propositions which |
will secure the extension of territory |
and the best service for the greatest |
number of the people.

tiles of love and home. It is through the
teachings of Woodcraft that is 1ncul-
Gated in the mind and heart the power
of kind words, exe1nplifed in loving
acts and in the promotion of morality
and good will The Order of Woodmen
| is not political or sectarian. And, while
it is not political, it teaches respect for
government, obedience to law, the main
tenance of order from which must
spring every blessing which will benefit
labor and promote the progress, the
| welfare and the elevation of Our race.
And the question of creed is also left
to each individual. Peace is its watch
word; the Golden Rule its guide; it
moves on lines of Harmony and Love.
| Its aim is the Fatherhood of God and
the Brotherhood of Man. But, my
| friends, (and l address myself directly
to the uninitiated) there is correlative
| with this order an indemnity feature,
through which is provided substantial
relief to the beneficiary of every Wood
man at his death. 1t may be his wife,
his mother Or some other dependent
loved ones, but this protection, at a
nominal COST is secured by a compan-
ionship with the fraternity, through
which hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been paid to the Widows and the
Fatherless. This feature commends it
self as sound business proposition, an
investment which assures the widows
and the orphans, the mother or the sis
ter of a Woodman from want And
there is still another feature, which is
unique indeed, and is conferred in the
monument of marble which is erected at
the grave of every deceased sovereign
and which is unveiled with appropriate
ceremony. This monument is intended
to designate the hallowed spot where
there is buried a Woodnan. This mar
Bile, an evidence of tenderness, tells its
own story without words in its glorif-
cation OF life and its idealization of
death. It symbolizes the faith of hui
mainly, the hope of an eternal future
of happiness And still there is another
feature and it is the annual cornmemo-
ration, Or Memorial Day, which we cele-
brate with flowers and evergreen, tokens
OF loving remembrance when Woodmen
gather III the cemeteries and httingly
recall the memory of those who have
joined the silent majority across the
Golden Shore. And with these thoughts
which [ have spoken in the hope of i'm
pressing the unintiated favorab1y, l
must close my discourse and thank you
for your kind attention. And as we leave
this scene, the resting place of our dead,
lalloWed by sad and sweet memories,
let us ever bear in mind the noble pre-
cepts OF Woodcraft, that, living, human
ity may be gamer by our lives; and,
dying, our brows may be entwined with
the wreath of approval-the reward to
the faithful-the wreath of Love and
Immortality. /
J, Following this discourse, which re-
ceived the closest attention and inn
pressed wildly those who heard it, there
was sung the closing number on the
program by members of the order, and
Memorial Day was at an end.

BALTIMORE ELECTION
One Vote in Each Precinct Would
Change the Result.

BALTIMORE, Md.-May 6.-Robert NJ.
McLane, Democrat. was elected mayor
yesterday by about 500 majority. the
closest election Baltimore ever saw. One
vote to precinct would change the re-
suit. and make Representative Frank
Wachter. mayor.
The Republicans have not given up the
fight Attorneys have been engaged to
watch the official count. and the mat
ter may be taken to the courts The
supervisors of elections are two Demo
Gratis and one Republican. Wachter's
running mates. Heffner for comptroller,
and Timanus. for president of second
branch, were elected, the latter having
2,01S plurality. He was really the only
McComas man on the ticket. and lncre
have been charges that Wachter was
cut.
Some of the precincts are still in
dispute, and they may make the election
still closer The Democrats elected
three members of second branch city
council, and the Republicans one, but
the Republican hold-overs give that
branch to the Republicans. The Demo-
Gratis carried the frs. branch. having
sixteen of the twenty-four members.

VEGETATION CHECKED
BY COOL TEMPERATURE

The week ending May 4 was unseason
ably cool over the greater part of the
United States. The minimum tempera-
lures on April 80 and May l and wero
the lowest recorded for the last days of
April and first days of May for the past
thirty years. Generally light rainfall
or absence of rain has been favorable for
farming operations, but the unseasor-
ably low temperatures have checked the
growth of all vegetation, and frosts have
caused much damage. Nearly all fruits
have suffered further damage from the
frosts and low temperature. Apples have
apparently escaped with the least in
jury.
Winter wheat appears to have escaped
material injury over the western portion
of the winter wheat belt, and the out
look for this crop continues to be very
promising in Maryland and Delaware
the cold since May 1 has hurt and check
ed tender vegetation. Moisture is need
ed In Virginia there was frost Satur
day, otherwise the week was favorable.
