President George F. Baer of the Reading Rail-
road has earned a reputation a diplomat of
the first order. He lived up to that reputation
in his recent address to the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature. Both political parties in the Keystone
State are pledged to enact law fixing two
cents a mile as the maximum rate of fare for
passengers on railroads. Said Mr.. Baer quite
blandly to the legislators:
We are given to understand that election prom
SeS were made which have committed the DOM
inant party 10 the passage of a law limiting
passenger rates TO two cents a mile. I assume
That these prediction promises-whe we'll enough
lntended-are subject to reconsideration by men
who have assumed official responsibility.

DOESN'T HAMPER INDUSTRIES.
Eugene Zimmerman Contrasts Eng
lands Policy With Our Own.

NEW YORK, September 21-Eugene
Zimmerman of Cincinnati, father Of the
Duchess of Manchester. was a passenger
on the steamship Arabic, which arrived
from Liverpool yesterday. He has been
abroad three months and has spent most
of his time with the duke and duchess at
Kimbo!ton. Tanderagee and Kylemore
castles. He talked to reporter of condI-
tiOns as he saw them abroad and said:
I'm Ireland and England the conditions
are much better than here. Ireland shows
marked Improvement and this Is because
England assists and encourages manufac-
turing industries in Ireland, In all the
colonies and in England itself. Especially
good results noticed In Ireland There
the government is aiding manufactures
and fisheries with money. The tenants are
taking the land and paying promptly for
it. l found evidences of the Irish return
ing home from America to live in Ireland
Here the policy of the government seems
to be to hamper Industries 1 know 1t is
said that this Is an attempt to regulate
trade, but it is hampering. nevertheless"

the railroads as examples OF hampering

a hundred and fifty years. and long before
1857 they were few in that part of Virginia.
Yet Indian relics abound.
Relics of Low Tide.
Star man walked out on Jones Point. He
followed the shore Of the Potomac doubled
the point and back-tracked along the Hunt
ing creek side. He had not taken many
steps when his eye caught, scattered among
the rocks, pebbles, shells and general debris
of the beach, numerous chips of red. gray
and yellow flint and small fragments of
white quartz. 1t was very curious. in that
this rock is not native to that locality. An
hours search through the shore drift
brought to light score of arrow-heads.
Only two or three were perfect. The others
were broken either at the point across
the neck where the shaft binds. Some of
these broken heads had evidently not been
finished, suggesting the theory that they
had been broken in the course of making.
The deduction from these unfinished arrow
heads and the great number of flint chips
was that the Indians had made their arrow
heads either on Jones Point or at some
place close by. All the relics were found
on the shore at low tide, and no doubt
had been drawn back into the river and
washed up, buried in the mud and uncov-
cred many, many tin,es sica they left the
hands of their makers. 1t would seem
reasonable that the bottom Of the Potomac,
and more especially the bottom Of Hunting

creek, abounds with these reminders Of the
Potomac valley aborgines.
If one would search for these relics the
present Is an inapt season Of the year. for
water-grasses, sedges. rushes and flags
cover the shore. Winter or early spring
would offer the best returns for relic
hunt.
To prove how some persons look over
their glasses, it may be well to narrate
this incident. When the reporter had filled
his pocket with arrowheads and suggestive
bits of quartz and flint he met group OF
natives lettering on the shore. These men
keep their boats on Jones Point and of
course, spend much of their time there.
Must have been lot of Indians around
here two hundred years or so ago." said
the stranger by way of salutation. There
was daZcd look in the faces of some of the
men and an amused expression in the faces
of others. as though the man making up
to them was the oldest fish they had met
for long time. Did you ever find any
arrowheads, spearheads Indian fints
around here?" asked the reporter.
Never heard Of any being found around
here" was the answer that the spokesman
of the crowd made.
Which shows that man may learn
much and find many things to interest him
without going far from home.

LOOKING OVER The RlNhR

Washington now frowns On his right lay
the width Of the Potomac, nearly a mile at
this place, and on his left lay the broad
creek, described on some maps at Hunting
bay. The northwest lire embraced all
there was OF Alexandria. Yes, the Commits
soners had their wits about them when
they chose Jones' Point as the starting
place for the survey.
The lighthouse was erected in 1857. It's
need had long been felt, but years of agita-
eminent could he induced to authorize such
Improvement. The low point and the
long bar jutting out into the river, and the
fact that the channel sweeps diagonally
across the river between Jones' Point and
Rollers Bluff caused a large number Of
ships to go ashore, and caused the same
ship; to go ashore number of times. The
ship that strikes at low tide is apt to stick
tight. Navigation was very dangerous IN
this part of the Potomac before the lighting
of the Jones' Point light, a red beacon
which one may see on leaving Washington
after passing the Arsenal Point. On COM
ing up the river it shines for the mariner
as soon as he has doubled the Fort Wash
ington light.
Jones Point lighthouse is substantial
frame dwelling with a cupola inclosed with
heavy glass. The beacon large oil lamp,
is mounted in here. A ladder leads from a
second-story bedroom up through small

hatch into the cupola- There ia room
enough in here for a man to stand and to
walk around the light. Outside a narrow
plank footwalk, guarded by a slender iron
railing, circles the light To perch on
this footWalk by the side of the light and
above the roof Of the dwelling and per-
haps forty feet above the shore of the
river, gives one the sensation of greater
height than the actual distance would seem
to warrant The view is impressive. Ones
eye may sweep the Maryland shore from
Piscatway creek to Oxon run and thence
along the District shore to Washington.
Against the skyline you see the Capitol,
the Library, the post office. the monument
and number of the tall private buildings,
and rising high above the east hills are
the stack of the Government Hospital for
the Insane and the water tower on the
heights of Fort Washington.
An Indian Resort.
The light-keeper, Mr.. wilkins, takes
pleasure in showing strangers the working
of the light and in pointing out the objects
of interest that may be seen from the top
of the lighthouse. In the group picture the
fatherly looking man is the lightkeeper,
and the children were visiting at the light
house when The Star man strolled that way
last Sunday.
Jones Point, or some place very close to
1t, must have been a favorite resort of
Indians hundreds Of years ago. 1t Is not
likely that any Indians have been there in

seen from afar by thousands, but
visited by few persons. 1t is not
place of extravagant beauty, and
makes but a slender appeal to those
persons who are always reaching after
scenic splendor still it has quiet charm
which satisfies its friends and repays those
who take the trouble to make a visit to
the place.
Jones Point is the lands end of Alexan-
dria. 1t is low-lying spit of land hun
dred yards wide at its base, narrowing to
a rock-strewn point that juts out into the
Potomac river a mile below the business
district of Alexandria and at the mouth or
Hunting creek. From the outer tip Of
Jones' Point a bar makes out to the chan
mel of the river A spar buoy marks the
extremity of this bar. A good deal OF the
bar is exposed at low tide, and even at
high tide the water is very shoal there
There are few trees on the broad portion
of the point but when the summer Sun
beats down on that nearly water-bound bit
of land shade is at premium. There Is
some grazing land on the point and this
Is taken advantage of by the cows that
wander down from the southern part of
Alexandria.
Jones Point is entitled to consideration
for three things-the south corner stone or
the District of Columbia, the lighthouse and
Indian traditions.
As may be ascertained by any one in
terested in the subject, the survey of the
District Of Columbia, the TERRITORY of Co
lumbia'' or the Federal Square" was begun
on Jones' Point. From there a line was
run ten miles northeast Another line
was run ten miles northwest and then
these lines were Joined by others run
northeast and northwest, giving to the
District diamond shape If man looks at
1t in a north and south line. 1t ought not
to be necessary to remind any one that tnis
was the shape of the District before that
part which Virginia coded to the federal
government was receded to that state
Columbia is still on Jones Point, but it IS
not to be seen. When the lighthouse was
built the sea wall hemmed in the corner
stone. In fact, 1t is thought that the cor
ner stone is part of the sea wall, being
on the inner face of the wall under the
south steps of the lighthouse. Tie light
keeper will tap the outer face of the sea
wall where the steps lead from the light
house to the river shore and say, THE
south corner stone Of the District is in here.
The records prove It,"
Made Good Start.
Jones Point was good starting place for
a new land. The surveyor had at his back
the Potomac river, with clear view as far
down as Warburton Manor. where Fort

Europe. This money, unfortunately for her
peace Of mind comes to her from her grand
father, NJ Blanc who founded the gam
bling palace Of Monte Carlo. and there
made such huge sums that he died I'M
mensely wealthy.
1t was mainly because OF the talnt on
the fortune that King Edward tried to dis
suade King George Of Greece from per-
hitting the match. and perhaps there also
fingered In the king of the Britons some
vestige of the traditional hatred Tor the
stock of that ruler who finally at Waterloo

The Princess Marie and Prince George
are said to have met in Rome. She Is an
ardent lover of the arts, and was studying
paintings in the famous city of the seven
hills when she met the son Of the ruler OF

brothers Of the emperor and the least

Her favorite diversions though, are much
less intellectual than these. She is ar

bilist.
Prior to her romance with Prince George,
there has only been one occasion when, with
any show of authenticity, the princess was
reported engaged.
Then 1t was said that she would wed the
Count De Tredern, a son of that vcomtesse
who played such part in the Gen. Bou-
LANCER episode, and whose name Is familiar
In the United States from the vain number
Of lawsuits she instituted to prevent her

The gossips were not content at attack
ing the Princess Marie because of her
descent on the maternal side from the
gambler who, expelled from Germany,
founded Monte Carlo. They also revived
an odd scandal that the wife of Prince
Pierre, the father of Prince Roland, Maries
father was Justine Ruflin, wife of a jour
newman plumber whose marriag e to Prince
Pierre had always been disputed during her
life.
They pointed out that the name OF the
alleged wife Of Prince Pierre was excluded
from the Almanach de Gotha while she
lived and that during the same period
Prince Pierre was entered as bachelor.
Thus they tried to prove that Prince Roland
and his daughter were only by courtesy
entitled to the great name they bore.
