CHARGES PREFERRED
STREET CARS SAID TO MAKE Elk
CESSIvE SPEED.
Recklessness Alleged Against Motor
men Employed on Cars at Night
Referred to the Police.

The District Commissioners today receiv-
ed communication from Mr.. H. E. Blau Of
314 s street northeast, complaining of the
manner in which the street cars are oper-
ated at night On certain lines within the
District Mr.. Blau alleges that on certain
electric lines cars are operated not only in
violation of the speed laws. but also in
manner exceedingly reckless and danger
GUS" In his letter Mr.. Blau says:
Some of the street railroad companies
operating within the limits of this District
appear to be running their cars in an ex
ceedingly reckless and dangerous manner
at night. The cars are speeded. and this
should be stopped at once and for good. l
refer to the Chevy Chase line running from
the bridge at the Geological Park to Chevy
Chase Circle more particularly; also to the
line running from Georgetown to Tenley-
town. l have Travelled on both of these
lines recently and find that on each road
the cars are allowed to take the steep
down grades without 'braking' until a ter
rifle speed for long stretches, at rate APP
proximating twenty-five miles more
hour, is attained, the car meanwhile bound
ing until it would seem that the wheels
would leave the rails
I'VE all know that the f1ange of the
street car wheel is very narrow. and that
there is little margin for safety at best
when it is considered that a slight depres-
rail, is sufficient cause to throw a train Of
car and trailer from the tracks.
Alleged Violation of Law.
"These railroad companies have no right
to jeopardize the lives and limbs of people
by such recklessness. The law regulating
the speed of street cars is being repeatedly
and fagrantly violated. This fact is known
to all who travel on these roads, and should
be known to the police. whose duty it is to
put a stop to this practice.
After experiencing number OF minor
accidents, which seem to have been avoid
able, 1T is thought that the railroad people
would be more careful and incorporate in
their system of running cars all of the safe
guards possible for the better protection of
the travelling public. l desire to add that
there is a large travel on the two roads re-
ferred to. the cars often being crowded.
In conclusion, l have also to frankly
state that while 1 actuated by less
is more because of personal sense of fear
and a desire to secure some measure of
comparative safety for my family and
friends. who daily use these lines, that 1
call your attention to this matter. / do
not wish to prophesy but If a car and
trailer crowded with innocent people, are
not hurled to destruction on one or both Of
these lines, sooner later, the credit for
failure or prevention will not belong to
those who make up the time schedule of
these two railroads and run the cars, unless
a change for the better is made
The Commissioners will refer this COM
munication to the police department for
report.

BUOY Displaced.

Capt. Bailey Reed master of the steamer
T. V. Arrowsmith, reports the can buoy
marking the Peach Orchard shoal on the
Potomac, as missing, and it is supposed
that it has been run over and carried away
by a passing vessel. The Peach Orchard
shoal is on the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac, between Wilkersons wharf and Upper
Machodoc creek, and is dangerous to navi-
cation. The attention of the lighthouse au-
thorities will be called to the absence of
the buoy, SO that it can be replaced with a
new one.
The bell buoy at the upper end of the
Kettle Bottom shoals has been out of order
for several weeks past. The bell seems to
be broken, and it's sound cannot be heard
a hundred feet away from II.

How to Avoid a Bad Husband.


A young lady should remember
that to be the wife of bad husband
is worse than being an old maid. She
should be careful from the outset
whose attention she receives. Here
are commendable hints.
l. Never marry for wealth. A
woman's life coDsisteth not in the
things she posseth.
2. Never marry fop, or one who
struts about dardy-like, in his silk
gloves and ruffies, with silver cane,
and ,ipgs on his fingers. Beware!
there's trap.
3 Never marry niggard, a close
fsted, meap, sordid wretch, who
saves every penny, or spends it grudg-
ipgly. Take care lest he stints you
to death.
f. Never marry q stranger, or one
whose character ia not known or
tested. Some females jump right
into the fire, with their eyes wide
open.
5 Never marry mope or drone,
one who drawls and draggles through
life, one foot after another, and lets
things take their own course.
6 Never marry a man who treats
his mother or sister unkindly or in-
differently. Such treatment is a
sure indication CT mean and wicked
man.
T. Never, on any account, marry a
gambler, profane person, one no
in the least speaks lightly of Goa or
religion. Such a man can never
make good husband.
8. Never marry a sloven, man
who is negligent of his person or of
bis drese, and is filthy in his habits
The eternal appearance is an index
to the heart.
9. Shun the rake as snake, a
viper, a very demon.
10 Finally never marry a man
who is addicted to the use of ardent
spirits. Depend upon it, you are
better off alone, than you would be
we're you tied to man whose breath
is polluted, and whose vitals are
being gnawed out by alcohol -

Was a Big Mistake.

Columbia State.
When cotton was selling for five
and six cents pound the publishers
OF many weekly papers reduced the
price to one dollar a year. They
probably now realize the unwisdom
of that course, when everything that
goes to make a newspaper and to
keep the making of newspapers alive
mas advanced in price. Any weekly
paper worth reading is worth 81 a
year according to present standards.
