on Tracks.

The Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Yer
non Railway Company was today granted
a permit by the District Commissioners for
the construction of it's new tracks in the
vicinity of the municipal building, occa-
stoned by the change in route necessitated
by the construction of the municipal build
ing. The permit provides for the. construc-
ton of the new tracks of the company on
D street northwest from 1871 street to 18th
street, on 18th street from D to G streets,
and on street from 18th to 14th streets,

She Comes to Washington to See the

According to the story of Mrs. Halle III.
Linch, who until yesterday was a carrier
on route number four, which extends from

Vaccinations and her sex. She has been
dismissed from the service by order of

Mrs. Linch, who looks like a woman who

dismissal yesterday when she returned from

throng. He was dressed in the garb
of civilization, and his long, white hair
and beard gave him patriarchal ap-
pearance. His face was grave and
kind.
"My son, kind Providence has won
derfully preserved you. We will go to
church to return thanks for your great
deliverance, and then we will hear
your story.
After songs and prayers Paul was
taken to the home of the patriarch,
where he Jared sumptuously, after
which he narrated his strange adven-
lures to the good old missionary.
$50 you are another, my son, who
has come to dig gold from the earth
in the frozen north" Then, taking the
arm of the youth, he led him from the
house, and, pointing to that great old
mountain, which, grim and gray, tow
cred into the skies, and with his eyes
wildly dilating, said:
In mockery, at the grim gateway of
Alaska, towers that mountain of gold
upon which no white man dares lay
his finger.
Paul gazed at him in amazement,
and began to wonder if he had not got
among race of madmen
How was the gold discovered?" he
asked.
''Its not discovered save by the In
dians and perhaps one other than
yourself. But come in and | will tell
you what other white man than your
self knows Of the island and the noun
tain of gold"
When they were seated in the cozy
parsonage the old missionary proceed
ed to tell Paul the story, but they
were interrupted by the arrival OF
some Indians with a prisoner. The
story told by Father Duncan We have
heard before from the lips of Clum
Ralston. No sooner did Father Dun

When Paul saw the prisoner he ex
claimed:

men who captured the old hermit in
the cavern."

UNIQUE ACTION OF THE TIDE
Reversible Waterfall at St. John, New
Brunswick, Canada.

We have reversible vests, reverS-
sibles nowadays, but ST. John, in New
Brunswick, Canada, has the only re-
versible waterfall in the world. In
the morning there is fall downstream
of Is feet, but in the afternoon the
water runs upstream and falls over
the other way. This phenomenon is
caused by the strength of the wonder
full tides of the Bay of Fundy, which
meet and overcome the water from
river $50 miles long, which empties
into the harbor of st. John through
narrow gorge less than 500 feet wide.
There is suspension bridge over the
gorge where this daily marvel occurs.
and hundreds of people go to see it.
At half-tide the water is smooth over
the dam and vessels go up and down
in safety. The tides Of the bay of
Fundy are the heaviest in the world.
Ii you are ever in New Brunswick
and it's time for the tide to come in
you want to make for the bluffs if you
are not fond of the water.
Vessels come into st. John harbor
and when the tide goes out the water
runs clear out from under them and
they settle down upon the gravel bot
tom Of the slips. Wagons are then
driven alongside and cargo is trans
ferred direct. 1t is an odd spectacle
to see schooners sitting up high and
dry, with no water near them, look
ing as though the only way for them
to get to sea would be to hy. Some
writer has remarked that water makes
an astonishing difference in the ap-
pearance Of river. and 1t certainly
does make big change in the looks
of the st. John water front :

The Same Old Cow.

A man was once travelling by rail
IN the Transvaal when suddenly the
train stopped. Putting his head out of
the window he asked the guard what
the cause OF the delay was.
"Only cow on the line," answered
the guard.
The train soon started again on its
Journey, but, after a few hours. again
came to stop.
The same passenger, again putting
his head out Of the window, asked the
guard the reason of the stOppage.

THE end OF THE GRIP

Mr.. Newman certainly had a very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New
mans for he had head, heart and stom-
ach troubles combined with great weak
ness. He recently said:
"The attack Of grip which had eight
years ago left me in a very bad fix. I
became nearly deaf and my head ached
continually and was filled with kissing
and roaring sounds. My heart fluttered
and had regular running.away spells.

body. had a great deal of pain in the
region Of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. My kidneys
ached so at times that I could hardly

Didn't you give up and go to bed?"
he was asked.
'No, I simply wouldn't. My head
and my back ached dreadfully, but I
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
What did you do to get relief?"
First tried a doctor, but he did me
no good. Then took all kinds Of adj
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until began to use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as got them I
knew that had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else

right away and in three months they
positively cured me. I think l was

VETERANS MONUMENT
lie MARRIED A PRINCESS

Plymouth, Conn. September g.
This town was the scene of rather
unusual ceremony today, the unyeil-
ing OF a monument erected to the
honor and memory of a man once a
citizen of this town, but now living
in Tahiti as the husband of a native
princess. The man thus honored is
Dorrence Aatwater, a native of Ter
ryville, in the township of Plymouth
Z At the age of 16 Mr.. Atwater en-
listed in the Union army and served
thl ough the Civil war. He saw hard
fighting, and spent twenty-five months
in southern prisons. While in Ander-
sonville he had charge of the records,
and secreted a duplicate copy, which
was used afterward by the government
in identifying the federal dead. In
1868 Mr.. Atwater was appointed
United States consul to the Seychelle
islands and three years later to Ia
hiti, where he served for seven years.
He married a princess of the island
and has since then lived there.
The memorial which was unveiled
today consists of a Rodman gun,
weighing $4,000 pounds, such as was
used in the Civil war, with a pyramid
of shot. 1t was mounted upon a
pedestal in Baldwin park.
