WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE
Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad
Company to Begin Operations

On the morning Of April s, 1906, the
Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad
Company will be operating street cars
on that part of Eleventh Street which
lies between FLORIDA avenue and Ly-
decker Avenue. measuring about one
mile in length
This morning a permit was issued by
the District Engineer Department 10
Cen. George II. Harries, superintendent
of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, authorizing him TO con-
struct the extension along Eleventh
Street. Yesterday General Harries ap-
piled at the District Building for a per
init Ito eXcavate and distribute material
along Eleventh Street" the purpose Of
these operations being to install an I'M
foreground electric system. The officials
of the Engineer Department saw that
the application was so worded as not
10 compel the company to lay the tracks
within any specified time, as no permit
was asked for TO authorize the actual
construction of the road
The Wording Changed.
c B. Hunt. Engineer Of Highways,
accordingly sent a representative of
the department to see General Har-
ries for the purpose of finding the conf
pany's intention with regard TO the lay
ms of the tracks. General Harries eX-
planned that he expected work 10 be
started on the road by July 1 next. lie
disclaimed any idea OF delaying the pro-
ceedings unnecessarily, and said his
reason for beginning work 50 soon was
that he had been able to get the ma
terials for the road sooner than he had
believed would be possible.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Hunt, how
ever, he changed the wording O. his
application FOR the permit so that the
one he received today authorizes the
construction of the extension, and not
excavations with the view Of putting
IL the extension. Afr. Hunt explained
that the permit for laying the tracks
carried with II the right 10 make the
excavations and distribute the ma
terials.

So prevalent has become the custom
among women moving in society of in.
creasing their means for adding to their
wardrobe by "touting" for tradespeople
that the following advertisement was
unblushingly inserted in London pa
per: ga lady moving in good society
is required at once to wear and to make
fashionable very beautiful, dainty arti-
Gle of jewelry, liberal remuneration;
strict secrecy
1t is well known that it is no uncom-
mon thing for delicate suggestion to
be made at fashionable shops that in
return for tactful recommendation

shoes, as the case may be, gratis, even
paying a commission upon new orders
obtained
The automobile boom opened up a
fresh field for women touts, and one fe-
male expert driver in the social world
is known to have cleared some hundred
pounds as a commission in very short
time.
But it would appear this system Of fe-
male touting is done in London to an
almost incredible extent, women acting
as secret agents for wine merchants,
soap manufacturers and even as touts
for money lenders, while there are sew
eral so-called linen about town. whose
only income is derived from one SER
vice or another.

On liberty or death"
The next morning he hurried with it
to the house OF his friend DIETRICH,
where it was sung for the first time
amid intense enthusiasm. A few days
later it was publicly sung in Strasburg,
and it was subsequently performed at
Marseilles with so much effect that it
was at once printed and distributed to
the troops starting for Paris 1t was
the incident Of this latter performance
that secured the present title for the
song, De Lisle himself having first
called it "Chant du Combat de PAR
NEE du Rhin." The troops entered the
capital on July 80, 1892, singing the in
spiriting melody, and to its strains they
marched to the attack on the Tuileries
on August 10. From that day the
"Chant du Combat was called "Chan-
son des Marseillaise, and finally la
Marseillaise'-a name which has often
led to confusion in regard to the scene
of its birth.
AS originally printed, the "Marseil-
laise' consisted of six couplets only;
the seventh was added when the song
was dramatized for the Fete of Fedora
tion, in order to complete the charac-
ters-an old man, a soldier, wife and
child-among whom the verses were
distributed. De Lisle had been cash
tered for having expressed disapproval
of the. events of August TO- and was
then in prison, from which he was only
released after the fall OF Robespierre,
on July 2S, 1894. In these circum-
stances Dubois, editor OF the Journal de
Literature, was asked to supply stan
"a for the child, and fine verse, begin
ning"Noul entrenous dams la carriere,"
came from his pen.
Oddly enough, poor Dietrich, the
mayor of Strasburg, walked to the scat
fold accompanied by the strains of the
song he had directly helped into being.
AS for De Disle, escaping, as we have
seen, after the fall of Robespierre, he
entered the army again; made the cam
paign of La Vendee under General
Hoche; was wounded, and at length
went into privacy at Montaign This
birthplace), where he remained poor,
lonely, broken hearted man until the
second restoration. His family had
some little property among them, but
brother seems to have taken advantage
of the composer, and De Lisle was
forced to go to Paris, where only
small pension, granted by Louis XVIII.
and continued by Louise Philippe, pre-
vented him starving. He passed away
in friends house at Choisy-le-Roi on
June 81, 1886, being then in his 10th
year. At that place a statue was erect
ed to his mind in 1892, the centenary
of "La Marseillaise.
Those who know the "Marseillaise"
know how thoroughly it accords with
the spirit of the country which claims
il as national air. 1t may not be
strictly true, as an English writer has
commended, that none but French pa
triot could easily seize hold of the mel.
ody." But certainly it is quite unlikely
that anyone but French patriot would
have written it,

By Gilbert x Clay.
 New Orleans, April 3O--The week closed with cotton quiet and steady. Opinions are divided as to the ultimate course of prices but in the absence of fresh devel- opments both sides are content to let time do the work. The shrinkage in spin ners takings has stimulated the belief that high prices have forced consumption well within the compass of supply, yet many adhere to the view that spinners were handicapped by determination of dry goods people to abstain from active purchases, and 1t Is only question of de- ferring the demand to a subsequent perio3 when the effect on prices will be more pronounced. It is evident that some substance attaches to reports of improved business in Manchester, otherwise Liver pool would not be inclined to pursue the upward path with the visible statement unsatisfactory and large exports from this country heading towards the English market, with improving business condi- ton foreign traders are forced to give careful attention to the stocks abroad and ignore all technicaities for the reason that American stocks at ports and counted towns are undergoing steady depletion and it is evident that holdings at uncounted interior points are not of sufficient quantity to be relied on In a serious way Thus with numerous com plaints at hand concerning necessity for replanting and prospects for an early movement of the new crop somewhat clouded, the short seller seems to be as- suming greater risk by far, and buying on low periods appear to be policy to pursue for the present.

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter,

By Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, April 3O-Wheat-The local professional element pulled the wheat market early on the strength at Minneap- oils. Very little assistance was given by the outsider and the trade in conse- quence was limited. The tone on the whole was firm, Duluth reported export bids close to the market and the sale of small lot of one northern to eastern mills. There was a much better inquiry here. Two hard changed hands at May pricesvand one northern at good prem lum over 1t. One northern at Minneapo- lis is selling there over the May stocks here decreased 1500O0 bushels yesterday. Receipts were light everywhere Weather is ideal and temperatures reasonable. There were light rains in the southwest but clear throughout the spring wheat belt. The cash news which is factor in July is all strong and we think this op- tion should be bought an oil recessions. Liverpool closed with very little change from yesterday. Estimated receipts for Monday, six cars.
 Corn-The market was dull and draggy but buoyed up early by the firm tone in wheat Little interest was shown in 1t and trade was featureless, except for some May liquidation by small scattered holders. Receipts were moderate Ele- vator receipts for 75,0oO bushels of con tract were cancelled today. Demand was rather slow. Cash market was easier and fully half cent lower. Iowa advices say planting will commence there next week. Deliveries reported to be heavy Monday and 1t Is the current gossip that Armour will take the contract. A brisk demand is needed if the market Is to have a material advance. Liverpool closed un- changed. Estimated cars Monday, 150

Shortly after fresh buying caused an advance of to 2 points on new months and the old eased off slightly subsequently,, however. they also improved to points on shorts cov- ering. Later in the session the bearish visible supply and spinners takings state ments and the warmer weather through out the belt occasioned break of 15 points from the top on the near positions and to 10 points on the late, making the net loss to 3 points on old crop months and il points on the new. The visible supply of all kinds decreased 5000 during the week vs. a decrease of 5000 last year.

COT ION OPENS AT ADVANCE

New York, April 30.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to 12 points on room covering and some little buying of the new crop through commis- sion houses based on bullish set of Llv- erpool cables and continued talk of lower temperature than desirable in the cotton country. There was considerable liqui- uaLIon, however by om .ongs preferring profits to carrying cotton over Sunday and rlsklng a more favoraule turn in weather conditions, ard following the call the market lost point or two of the ad- vance, but ruled generally steady In tone with business limited. The visible sup ply statement was quite as bearish as expected as to spinners' takings during the week.
 Receipts at the ports today 1,221 bales, against 6l1o last week and 6O25 last year. For the week, 3S,00O bales, against fl 1903 last week, and 69.29S last year. Todayls receipts at New Orleans were 4l42 bales against 1549 last year and at Houston l06O bales against 1453 last year.

ACCEPTED WITH LANGUID INTEREST Bank Statement Was the Only News of Importance FURTHER GOLD SHIPMENTS Increase In Cash Item of Banks In Week of Largest Gold Shipment
 On Record Is an
 Anomaly.
FURTHER GOLD SHIPMENTS

New York, April 3O.-The bank state ment was the only news of the day with any important bearing on the stock mar ket and it was accepted with languid in- terest. This was partly due to the feel ing that the statement was not an accu- rate showing of actual conditions. An increase although a small one In the cash item of the banks in the week oi the largest gold exports on record, IS an anomaly in itself. It is partly explained by the fact that the statement does not reflect the sS, 100000 shipment of gold that went ont today, and which will be car ried over into next weeks statement,
 Even allowing for this, the cash re- serve is more than $22,OOO,O00 better than was estimated from the known move ments of money Local cash operations are given as the explanation of the dis crepancy The increase in the loan Item was not greater than expected In view of the weeks railroad note issues. Fur ther issues are expected and the placing of the s37, 100000 New York city loan IS expected to affect the loan item stlll 1ur- ther It is also generally believed that the outgo of gold up to this time' except the Morgan shipment that went today, Is for other purposes than the Panama ca nal payment, the principal portion or which, therefore, remains to be provided for.
 The details of the operation are still somewhat obscure to the Wall street mind, especially the manner of the ac- tual withdrawal of government deposits from the banks and of gold from the treasury. and their immediate lodgment. This uncertainty was one of the factors in the stagnation of the days stock mar ket. The price movements of any inter est were confined to specialties. Local bond sales, par value, $997000.
 The growing warmth of political dis cussion heralding .the approach of the presidential campaign is having its usual influence towards conservatism in the market.
 Bonds have been dull but prices were steadily maintained. United States new is advanced 14 per cent on call during the week.
