School Girls Should Have Allowances
BY MARGARET e. sANesTER.

pecially pretty or has taken hOnors in
school, or her father is i'm a very bOun-
tiful mood he throws her bill or a
coin of gold, and she is temporarily
rich. But her lot is not so enViable as
that of her friend who has something
regular on which she can count. and
whose spending money is neither doled
out in driblets or flung out by the
handful, but given her in a business
like way on the first of the month, or
perhaps every fortnight.
If l were you and were living in the
beautiful season where the years are
approaching the teens, or under Is, l
would persuade the powers that be TO
give me an allowance.
Some parents begin when their chill
dren are very small, and the first al
lOwance is only a few cents a week.
This is gradually increased as the chill
dren grow older. A girl Of II should,
if possible, have weekly or monthly
allowance large enough 70 pay her car
fares and travelling expenses back and
forth to school or town to pay for her
stationary, pens and pencils, TO cover
little presents she wishes to give, and
dainty articles for her toilet. and to
purchase the trifes such as ruching,
ribbons and bits of embroidery which
make the delicate finishings of a young
girls dress. II might and should also
include enough to buy stockings, hand
kerchiefs and other requisites of the
wardrobe
If a girl has been carefully instructed
in the art of spending money, by the
time she is Is she should be able to Sc
lect her aOwn clothes and take entire
charge of the outlay for frOcks, wraps
hats and shoes Few girls are taught
this art as they should be. II is at least
as important as music or French.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The House republicans in caucus yes
terday afternoon, after long aud
acrimonious debate, voted that they
would recommend for passage ofthe Esch-
Townsend bill for regulation of freight
rates, which describes the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, as
well as establishes court OF transporta-
ton. This action, while representing the
sentiment of a majority, by no means
was unanimous, since the entire repub-
lican delegation from Pennsylvania, %
in number, and many members of other
delegations, including two from Mary
land, opposed action at this time in the
shape which wss finally adopted, and pre-
ferred action along the liues suggested by
Representative Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
in his speech of Wednesday, which in
dorsed the plan Of the appointment of
joint committee from the Senate and
House, which should meet after the ad-
jeurnment of Congress and perpare
plan for submission to Congress at its
next session. The caucus decided to
recommend the Esch Townsend bill for
the supervision of railroads by vote Of
l0T to Al. Opposition became so bitter
that the speaker exersed his utmost au-
thority to save the Presidents desired
legislation.
The caucus decided to vote for a special
rule, authorized in resolution offered
by Mr.. W. P. Hepburn, chairman of
tho interstate aud foreign commerce COM
mittee, providing that the Esch.Town-
send railroad rate bill shall be taken
up for consideration in the House at IL
o'clock on Tuesday and vote be taken
at o'clock on Wednesday, the minor
ity to be permitted to offer no other
amendment than the Dsvey substitute.

SINCE the Corporation Commission

not appeared to be in sympathy with the
many others who inaugurated the move
ment looking toward better travelling
facilities between this city and Wash
ipgton. and some have suggested that 1t

against railroads. 1t is also asserted
that the city has at times stood In It's own

rstions. Wedo not desire to be under

PAW which fails to perform its duty as
common carrier, nor be classed with
another element which looks upon a
railroad as = common enemy to the body
polite, but purpose to call attention to
the fact that railroads have received as
many favors ia Alexandria as in any
other city in the country. Over half a
century ago the Orange and Alexandra
Railroad was given the use of Wilkes and
Union streets throughout their entire
length and the company is still enjoy

Washington Southern run from one end

closed by railroad tracks and Henry st
its intersection with Wolfe is rapidly ap-
.proaching similar condition. The
Alexandria. Loadoun and Hampshire
Railroad many years ago was given the
privilege of extending its tracks south to
Cameron street. The history of the cleo
trio railway is fresh in the minds of all.

when the ferry has becomes thing OF the
past and when it is found impracticable
by many to patroniEe steam trains. The
Corporation Commission has held its
sessions and heard complaints, and its
verdict is awaited with interest. 1t is
generally believed that its directions will
be on the lines of common sense and
that better travelling conditions will soon
be in evidence.

Warsaw, Feb. 4.---The strikers ar,

Quoting the strike and are doing every
thing possible to prevent outbreak

TOday's Telegraphic News
ToIstoi's announcement.

London, Feb. 4.-Count Vladimir
Shertloff, the literary agent Of Count Leo
Tolstoi, the famous Russian writer, and
exponent of social conditions in the Car s
domains, has given out summary OF a
announcement which Tolstoi will
shortly issue. This announcement will
deal with lessons drawn IRON the recent
trouble in Russia. The summary is as
follows: First--All governments, whether
monarchical, constitutional, or republic
can, are nothing more than organized
institutions which being immune from
punishment have the power to punish
others and to plumber and rob. Second
Neither the Russian workingmen nor
the intellectuals are true opponents of
the peoples real needs. Third-Those
elementary measures which they demand
from the government, like freedom of
person, speech and conscience, although
essential conditions for life of culture,
do not touch the central problem, which
is the naturalization and communism of
land. From neither the w0rkingmen nor
intellectuals of Russia, brother countries
do we hear anything of this crying need
of the people. Despite the apparent
freedom of 80 called cultured countries
and despite their parliaments and their
legislative assemblies, they do not allow
this all pressing need to be satisfied.
Fourth-There exists in other countries
so called free and independent press,
but its freedom is only apparent; for the
whole press is controlled by wealthy
persons who admit no advancement of
the people. We have only to observe
the fate Of Henry Georges nationalist
ton scheme to see the truth of this.
Fiftn-A general policy lies in the indi.
vidual morally, aud religiously, and when
there is real respect for others, lack OF
gentleness, hatred and brute force all
disappear.

full wreck about two o'clock this morn

completely off the track and over the
fence alongside. The eastbound train
was blown many feet into the air.
