Travellers In the west are familiar with

the old-fashioned railway time table," and
now it is being introduced in the east by
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway. The pas
senger department Of that road has just
issued an attractive specimen Of this form
OF railway literature, handsomely illus
trated with half-tones, and containing a
great deal of interesting historical informa-
ton. The annotated folder, in addition to
giving the time of arrival and departure Of
trains, also furnishes a description Of the
principal towns on the route their re-
sources, history, etc. AS there are so many
spots along the route Of the c. and o.
around which cluster memories of the
great civil war, there Is unusual opportu-
nifty to provide Information of that kind in
the folder. which will doubtless be highly
appreciated by its patronA

visits the island does some discovering on
his own account. He discovers, for in
stance, that the climate is the finest in the

rates are reasonable and that the scenery
makes all other scenery that he has seen
seem tame. Once a week a steamer sails
from Baltimore for Jamaica. If you are In

HISTORIC FORT WASHINGTON.
Paper Describing It to Be Read Befor'

Columbia Historical Society.
At the next meeting which will be held
Monday evening, the Columbia Historical
Society will return to its old place, the
banquet hall OF the Shoreham. During the
past fall. while this building was In the
hands Of workmen, the society used the
banquet hall OF the Arlington. The pro-
gram for the coming meeting Is one that
covers quite wide field Of interest. A
paper on historic Fort Washington will be
read by DR.. ]. Dudley Morgan. His access
to the papers of Major L'Enfant, who de-
signed the fort in the latter part of the
eighteenth century, will enable him to give
information relative to the beginning of the
first fertilization Of the nations capital.
which will be of great value.
A paper Is also to be read on the old
Washington library, which was organized
about 1911 and was the first library of any
size in this city. The facts in regard to
this old-time institution which went out of
existence some years ago have been
brought together by Mr.. w. Dawson John
ston Of the photographed department of
the Library Of Congress, and the original
research into this subject made by Mr..
Johnston has resulted in bringing out many
important facts relative to the literary life
Of the city.

The cold and rough weather of the past
two or three weeks has greatly interfered
with the building of the new sea-wall on
the Eastern branch side of the Washington
Barracks Park, but yesterday a large force
Of hands was at work rapidly pushing the
stone work to completion. The wall on the
eastern and western sides of the park have
been finished, and only about a hundred
yards remain to be built, where it takes a
broad and circular sweep at the southwest
corner of the park. When the stone wall is
completed and is properly braced, the work
of pumping the mud from the river bottom
which is to be used to raise the reclaimed
land to level with the other part Of the
grounds VIII be begun.
