DOUBLE TRACK
MT. VERNON ROAD IMPROVE
MENTs APPROACH COMPLETION.

The roadbed for the new double track of
the Washington. Alexandria and Mt. Yer
non railway is nearly completed from the
siding at Spring Park, just west of Alex
andria, to the siding near Braddock
Heights. distance of about mile. and
within the next week, it is thought, the
laying OF the new track. which will con-
meet these sidings, will be started. A con-
siderable portion of the grading has also
been done from Braddeck Heights to
Lloyd's, and workmen are now employed In
moving the poles that support the trolley
wires. in order to make room for the new
track
The ties and rails which will be used in
the double tracking have been distributed
along the line of the road from Four-Mile
run to Alexandria, and there will be no de-
lay for want of material when the grading
Is completed. Within the next three weeks
or month the trains will be using the por-
ton of the new track nearest to Alexandria
and 1t is expected the work will be COM
pleted in July.
When the double tracking is finished be-
tween Alexandria and Four-fnile- run the
laying of the additional track from Airing
ton Junction to the south end of the new
highway bridge over the Potomac will be-
gin. This will be a much more difficult
piece of work than is the double tracking
only has the Columbia road in Alexandria
county to be bridged, but the long trestie
and fill over the Little river. back of jack
son City, will have to be widened to ac-
cemmodate the second track. This work,
it is expected, will be completed early in
the coming fall.
With the completion of the new highway
bridge and its double track and the double
track to Alexandria,, The Washington Ar
ington and Mt. Vernon Railway Company
VIII be able to give a superior service, 1t
is claimed. and avoid many of the vexa-
tious delays that have been causing fric-
ton between the railroad management and
the people of Alexandria who have to pa
tronize the road.
The four new motor cars. which were
ordered from the Brill shops in Phis.dei-
phia over two months ago. are now COM
pleted, and are expected 10 arrive here
some time during the week. They will at
once be taken to FourMie run to have
their motors installed and will be placed
in service as soon as possible. AS has been
stated, they are slightly larger than those
now in use.
Besides these new cars, motor II has been
recently rebuilt and equipped with four
fifty-seven- horsepower motors, and motor
I is now in the shops and will also be re-
built and equipped with the improved
power Several other of the old motor
cars are in the barn at Four-Rfie run be-
ing overhauied and put in order with i'm
proved equipment for service on tne road
during the summer.
1t is stated that the new company that
now has control of the Mount Vernon
road will make every effort to put the
road in condition to give good service and
to please it's patrons.

Cremation in England.

There are nine crematories," SAYS
United States Consul Mahin at Nottinham,
in active operation in Great Britain.
Statistics demonstrate that cremation is
making Roadway slowly in that country.
and 1t is believed that the feeling against
1t, whether founded on religion or senti-
ment, is gradually weakening While the
public is slowly becoming accustomed to
the idea Of cremation, it shows very little
interest In the subject. This is laid partly
to ignorance and partly to the stricter re-
quirements as to certificates, ETC., than in
cases Of ordinary burial. In 1894 law
court held that unless explicit instructions
had been left in the will an executor is not
competent to cremate his testator The
ground of the decision was that every one
Is entitled to Christian burial and that
cremation Is not Christian burial Thus 1t
appears that only enthusiasts for hygiene
who make the stipulation themselves are
cremated. It Is a request that testators
generally hesitate to make and one which
they are inclined to fOrego when they think
Of the feelings of their relatives who are
usually strongly attached to the older plan
OF burial. The advocates Of cremation have
had the misfortune to lose In the death of
Sir Henry Thompson the most powerful
champion OF the oAnse.''

EASTER AT ST. ELIZABETH's.
Special Services for the Patients at the
Institution

The Lessons of the F,astertide are to be
pictured to those who are being cared for
at the Government Hospital for the insane
and the story of the resurrection will be
recalled to them not alone by the religious
ceremonies that take place this afternoon,
but symbolically well by the Easter
lily which this morning in generous num-
bers graces each ward. infirmary and
building where they dwell. The flowers
were supplied by the officials of the hos
pital from the institutions greenhouses.
An exquisite floral display, which Wilt
hardly be equaled in the city, has been
arranged.
The annual exercises incident to the cell
ebration of the festival will begin in the
assembly hall of the hospital, on the third
floor Of the old central building, at 3
o'clock pm. Rev. William E. Parson,

respective buildings at the sound of the
great bell, and. accompanied by the hos
pital attendants, will proceed to the hall.
The members of the medical staff will be
in attendance to see after their comfort
and disposition.
The commodious hall bears the impress
of the florists skill, with its attractive and
costly array of Easter flowers, palms and
dollhouse plants. The large stage has
been artistically treated, with pulpit in
the center, while five floor pyramids OF
flowers adjacent thereto complete the dis
play. Delicate fringes of maiden hair fern
with asparagus, spirea, vari-colored hya-
cinths, narcissus, cinnerariaS, Gala lilies
and scarlet sage have been intermingled
with beautiful effect, forming massive
bank of flowers, while above all, in the
center, tower prominently the immaculate
Easter lily. Marguerites and tall palms
form the rear decoration. In the embrasures
OF the windows tulips, marguerites jon
quils, hydrangeas. The last-named also
form a handsome stage setting.
The program to be carried out is as fol-
lows: Choir "Christ's Victory, banks;
hymn 30, Diademata; scripture reading,
Rev. DR.. Parson; choir, Il VIII Lift Up
Mine Eyes, Stearns; prayer. Rev. DR.. Par
son; flute selection from Mendelssohn;

eminent Hospital, which will be directed by
Prof. Edward 7. Davis, with Mrs. Eliza
beth Nelson organist, will be assisted
by Mrs. Charles Linger, Mr.. Daniel c.
Smithson and Mr.. Watson Isaac.
All day yesterday preparations were in
progress for today's exercises. at which
probably 100 inmates will be present.
Numerous flowers were forwarded to the
various wards. none being forgotten, there
to remain until the bloom is no more.
