LEXINGTON WANTS LIGHT.
Sidney II. CIuxtOn Sends n Letter Of
Complaint TO Commissioners

In response TO a request from Electrical
Engineer Walter c. Allen, Corporation
Counsel r. II. Thomas has submitted an
opinion 10 the Commissioners in which
il is held that as the Potomac Electric
Power Company IS a public service cor
poration, It Is bound to supply citizens
with electricity on those streets where
its conduits are located.
The matter was brought 10 the atten-
ton Of the Commissioners by COM
munication Of Sidney II. Ciuxton, 81 Q
street northwest, who complained Of the
insufficient lighting OF lexington. Mr..
Allen, to whom Il was referred. stated
that he had recommended the substitu-
ton Of gas lamps for electric lamps In
lexington, but the citizens OF that neigh
borhood objected on the ground that
there would be a possible discOntinuance
Of the private lighting service.

PRESENTS STILL IN STORAGE.
Express Companies May Not Finish
Delivering Packages for a Week

Express AOAhaEAhAE@ A0s wv
Delivering Packages for "a Week.
Christmas at the local express COM
panies has been one of the busiest seasons
seen for many years. It is estimated that
the increase over the Christmas OF 1905
has been over 20 per cent, and in spite of
all the efforts Of the companies to prevent
congestion, many packages have not yet
been delivered.
One of the companies which had two
warehouses last year sold one of them, and
as "a result it was forced TO meet the busy
season with only half of the facilities it
had a year ago. When the influx of par
GELS became so large that il was impossi-
bic TO accommodate them at the store
house, the cars in which they were sent
were utilized to keep articles until they
could be sent to their destination. At
present all Of the Christmas gifts are not
yet delivered, and it will be fully a week
before things reach their normal cOndi-
ton. Another company stated that dur
ing the days Immediately preceding
Christmas the pressure Of business was so
great that it was necessary TO double the
working force.
Meanwhile those who have not yet re-
eeived their expected Christmas present
from outside of Washington must not
despair-they win get it yet.

Professor Pearson Delivers illustrated
Lecture at G. F. College.

"If women only knew" said Secre-
tary Pearson in an address at the
Greensboro Female college last night.
He was showing some steroptican
views of the snowy heron whose
plumes are extensively used for milli
merry ornaments AS he threw on the
screen the picture Of a great heron,
PROSTATE, spotless ali over but for the
red, aacerated place from which the
plume had been torn the audience be-
came perceptibly STILL and sober, and
serious.
Mr.. Pearson said these plumes could
only be gotten during the breeding sea-
son and that aside from the horror Of
killing the herons to get their plumes
(for this was necessary the young
were left to starve. Women didn't
know this, he said. for if they did they
would motor those with normal
hearts would not-wear the aigrettes
which ordinarily are so highly priced.
The great blue heron, the little blue
heron, the white heron the cormorant
and many other kinds of fowls were
described in an interesting way as to
their ways and homes. Interesting re-
miniscences of Professor Pearson's ex-
periences in getting the photographs in
the Orton pond near Wilmington and
other places along the coast were also
given as view after view, all of them
remarkably clear and perfect were
