DEATH OF F. c. SHAW.
For Many ears Connected With B. and
o. Railroad COMPANY.

Mr.. Frederick c. Shaw, who has been con-
nected with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company for many We :, died at his
home, 316 Delaware avenue northeast, this
morning from pneumonia. He had been i'll
but a short time and had complained of
feeling unwell more than a week ago, but
did not give up his work until last Sunday.
Mr.. Shaw was one of the most popular
Of the railroad company's employees. He en-
tered the employ Of the Baltimore and Ohio
in 1884 and was connected with the legal
department. During the past ten years he
had complete charge of the claim depart
ment over the entire system. His work
called him from one place to another and
his constant attendance In the courts
brought him in contact with members of
the bar and the judges. He was popular
in legal circles in this and other cities.
Mr.. Shaw was born in Dixfield Oxford

ing in the army during the war he came to

CUPID'S CoNQUESTs.
Leap Year a Failure in Philadelphia,
but Not in Washington.

The year 1904-leap year-is declared to
have been a failure in Philadelphia In
fact, the Quaker city folks say that Cupid
wants to know what's become O. lean
year?''
1t is explained that maybe 1t was be-
cause the young men waited for the girls
to turn the trick, and maybe the girls got
faint-hearted and didn't; but anyhow, with
all the extra chances for matrimonial
propositions, there were nearly thousand
fewer marriages in Philadelphia during the
year ending today than there were in 1903.
And that was only an ordinary sort of
twelvemonth.
The clerk of Philadelphia's marriage IL
cense bureau is quoted as saying:
I've seen hundreds of women in here
after licenses who l am sure will ask and
answer every important family question
after the ceremony, but l don't actually
know of a single case where it was certain
that the girl had put the vital question her
self"
Leap year may have been a failure in
Philadelphia but the national capital =
one city in this happy land where the
festive chimes have worked overtime in
the 1865 days of 1904. During the year
1903 the clerk of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia issued licenses to wed
to $3.50 applicants. When the clerks office
closed this afternoon the records showed
that g. 900 marriage licenses had been issued
this year. indicating that 1904 was just $50
To the good over 1903. AS to whether the
increase was due to leap year the clerk
was not prepared to say authorftatively,
but he was willing to let it go at that.

avoid breaking the law. A great part of his
time. he said, is consumed in coming to
court to answer the summons In smoke
cases, and that yesterday he gave up the
agency to the owner, who is a nonresident.
Judge Scott imposed fines of $40 for the
first day and $40 each for Inc two succeed
ing days. The fines were paid.
Mr.. Sansbury said he supposed the in

President Takes an Early Walk.

President Roosevelt, accompanied by Mrs.
Roosevelt, left the White House shortly
after O'Clock today and went for a brisk
walk far down Pennsylvania avenue. 1t is
unusual for the President to appear walk
ing on the business streets of the city; In
fact, so far as is known, this was the first
time he has walked along Pennsylvania
avenue since he entered the White House.
He frequently-in fact, almost Invariably
walks from the White House to church on
Sundays, but his route then is not through
the business section of the city. Even on
Sundays he Is accompanied by secret serv
ice officers, who follow him discreetly at
short distance. Today, however, the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt left the White
House unaccompanied. In few minutes
the officers learned of their departure from
the house, and a little while later located
them on Pennsylvania avenue. The Presi-
dent was inclined to regard as joke the
fact that he had eluded his guards. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt were recosniS0d
instantly on the street and, as they walked
briskly along the avenue, were the recip-
tents of marked, but entirely respectful at
tention. Women bowed and men lifted
their hats to them, the courtesies being &C.
knowledged cordially by both the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt. They were alb
sent from the White House about half an
hour, the President going directly to his
Offices upon his return.
The jamestown Exposition.
Col. John Goode of Virginia called on the
President today to thank him for his in

press the hope that the Industrial EXPOSE

most acceptable and would be a great event
but that the Industrial feature would be Of

the President would give whatever assist
ance possible to help bring about an appro-
priation for an indr-trial exposition He
went on to say that the directors of the
exposition had raised $1.200.0O0 for such
an exposition and were hopeful that Con-
gress would give them aid to carry on the
plans as originally projected.
