The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court to the effect
that the right of way through por-
tion of the District in the vicinity
OF Deanwood. which was granted
to the old Southern Maryland rail
road some twenty years ago, still be-
longs to that corporation or its sue
cessor has led to renewed gossip in
regard to the movements OF the Wa
brsh railroad. The connection of
the name OF this company with the
matter seems to be due mainly to
the fact that it is believed there will
be an effort made on its part TO gain
access to this city as soon as it's
western connections with Baltimore
are completed.
Some time ago, when John r. Nc
Lean and Senator Elkins began to
spend money freely to build mod
ern electric railroad between this
city and the Great Falls, it was said
that ultimately that line would be-
come part OF the Wabash system
when the latter extended its line to
this city. The electric road is near
ly finished. and the plans of the Wa
bash as far as its Maryland connec-
tions are concerned have been ma
tured, but the Washington part OF
the scheme which was so freely gos-
slipped about has dropped out OF the
current talk, and now very little is
heard about the Wabash establish
ing passenger terminal at the Vir-
ginia end of the Aqueduct bridge,
which is the terminal OF the new
electric line TO Great Falls.
The fact is that no definite an
nouncement has been made of the
plans Of the Wabash terminal in this
city, but it is regarded as highly pro.
bable that when the time comes a
line will be built from its main stem
or the Western Marylsnd, directly
down TO the city on toe north, and
permission gained from Congress to
enter the District, If in the mean
time some working arrangement is
not made to use the tracks of some
existing right of way.
Once in the District, the law re-
hating to the union depot gives the
right to enter it and make use oi
that terminal.

st. Mary's Bully Wins a Fight.

After seven ludicrous rounds last
Thursday night, at the Echo Athlet
ic Club, the st. Mary's county bully
was awarded a decision over Kid
Hoy, of Cleveland. The pair were
to go six rounds. but at the end OF
the latter they were tied on points,
and were required to go another
round.
The bout was the main attraction.
as Kid Egan, who was to have met
Kid Wise, refused to go on, as he
claimed the house was too small.
He was offered a substantial purse
by Manager Weiss, but still held of,
and the negroes were put on. Bal

AFTER mrs. walters had read Up
the subject thoroughly and taI,ulat-
ed the results of her investigation
in her meth0iical mind. she told her
husband says the Chicago NespS,
that she was going to make a change
with baby. I'VE have been making
q mistake with him. Last night
after dinner we played with him
and rocked him for a full hour. To
night be is 10 be put to bed and left
TO go to sleep by himself.
Walters, who is an extremely
youthful father, was about to say
that rocking the baby was part Of
the fun. : Fortunassly he re1iized
in time that this was not likely to
meet with the approval OF his wife s
more serious mind, so he suggested
instead that baby might cry.
We must be prepared for that. .
Mrs. Walters said. gently but firmly.
For a night or two be may cry
very hard. But console ntious
parents will not neglect the best
good Of their children because of a
few tears"
Mrs. Walters did not give her
resolution time to cool. The baby.
dimpled and cooing and ready. for
his evening frolic, was put TO bed
and the door closed upon him. At
first he appeared to regard this as
new feature of the game From the
next room his parents could hear
occasional interrogatory gurgles.
Then there came faint wall. then a
flood OF invective in baby language.
He's calling US names now, :"
said Walters. I'm glad he takes
that tack rather than the plaintive. {"
He had hardly spoken when an
ear-splitting Shrek sounded from
the next room. Walters sprang
from his seat, but his wife waved
him back.
This is only what was to be cx-
pected, Robert, she said. determin-
ed, though pale. He will cry hard
tonight, and possibly tomorrow
night. BY that time he will have
learned his lesson. All the autho-
rites have consulted agree that it
is impossible for healthy child of
his age to injure himself by crying. "
Walters suggested that it would
have been better to accustom him 70
the change gradually. On this
point, too, his wife was firm, quot
ing her authorities with Irritating
readiness. The Walterses are a
harmonious couple, but this time
they came near quarrel.
There, he's quieting down at
last, said Mrs. Walters, trumphan-
tly, aud she was right. Baby
frantic outcries had given way to
pitiful sobs. Presently these also
ceased, and Mrs. Walters smiled
across the table at her husband,
who smiled back. Both were sore
lieved that the ordeal was over
that they were inclined to overlook
whatever might have been unplea-
SAINT in the past.
Now, you see, he's asleep. I'm
going TO take peep at him -
She stepped lightly across the
room and opened the door of the
bedroom. Then she uttered a sue
cession ofshrieks compared to which
baby's recent exhibitions were as
nothing. With a bound Waters
was at her side. fearing he knew
not what.
The baby lay on the floor. a big
lump on his forehead. caused by
hitting the floor when ne fell out of
bed. He was sleeping peacefully
in spite OF the fact that there were
undried tears on his cheek.
