THREE CENT FARES
House Votes Amendment on
Union Station Bill.
RAILWAYS SEVERELY SCORED
sharp Criticism of the Company's
Management and the ExtOrtiOnRte
Clause Cat ont of the knasndfIsesss.
Paragraph Requiring seats for All.

The House Of Representatives put itself
on record last night. by vote Of 40 to
l02, for scent fares on the Street railways
Of Washington.
This action was taken when Mr.. Bah
cock brought up the bill allowing the
street railways 20 lay tracks TO connect
with the Union Station. The smoke-law
section was stricken out and the S-cent-
fare amendment substituted. No penalty,
however, was attached 10 violations Of the
law.
The proceedings began when Mr. Bah
cock brought in d rule as follows;
THAT Immediately upon the adoption Of
this order it shall be in order to take up
the bill IS. SID, entitled An act authoriz-
ing changes in certain street railway
tracks within the District of Columbia
and for other purposes. with the amend
ments thereto reported bS the Committee
on the District Of Columbia 20 offer
hereto the following amendments:
"First-To strike out section Is Of the
House substitute providing for wide tires
unless the said amendment shall be ruled
out on a point Of order.
Second provide for universal Scent
fares to be collected only from passengers
provided with seats, and after votes on
the aforesaid amendments the question
shall be on the committee amendments
and on the bill to final passage without
intervening motion or appeal
Debating the Rule.
Twenty minutes was allowed each side
to discuss the merits OF the proposition.
Mr.. Babcock said that the manufacturers
and wholesale merchants had been forced
to obey the smoke law. and the same rule
should apply to the steam locomotives
coming into the city The smoke bill
bad been placed on the Union Station bill
because it was held to be mcritorious
and should be passed The matter of the
greatest Importance now was to authorize
the street railways TO begin the work
that would enable them to meet traffic
demands when the new station was COM
pleted and. to avoid complications, the
smoke law was separated from the bill.
Mr. Payne. of New York, asked If the
bill as it stood compelled any road 20
carry a passenger free.
Mr.. James, of Kentucky. made an
earnest appeal for the people of the Dis
triet of Columbia. Ho said the street
railways seemed TO be especially privi-
legged. Congress stood ready to iegislatc
or everything under the sun, but when it
came to making the local street railways
respect the rights of the public there was
silence and failure to act. He declared
it was an outrage TO allow the street
railways to keep on robbing the people.
They were compelling their patrons to
pay dividends on their franchises which
had cost them nothing. and on a capt.
talizatiOn that was vastly inflated with
water. As Mr.. James closed his appeal
for relief for the people of Washington
the galleries broke out into applause.
The galleries were by this time packed,

A Trick That Is Sometimes Played on
ths London Cabby.
Have you ever tried to play on cab
man that old joke Of the lost sover-
eign?" It's very funny. A friend tried
it last summer in London and succeed
ed too. He took n GROWER after mid
night at Piccadilly Circus to go to his
lodgings at Bayswater Remembering
the staleness Of the "lost sovereign"
dodge. he thought it would hardly go
down" with a bright, cunning cabby,
but resolved to try for the fun of it.
Just as he came in front of n public
house Il few doors from his home the
fare stuck his head out of the cab
window and ordered the driver to halt
Il say, cabby, I've dropped SOW 1t
must be on the bottom of the cab. Just
pull up at that pub till I run in and
get match, so that I can find the
coin"
'All right. SIR said the cabby and
pulled up opposite the door of the tav-
ern. The fare allghted and had taken
scarcely three steps In the direction Of
the pub" when. 10. Mr.. Cabby whip
ped up his horse and few away into
the darkness of the night. carrying
with him, as he supposed, that sover-
eign snugly concealed In the cushions
OF the cab.-London Tit-Bits.

for centuries pastry making went no
further. even among the nations III the
south OF Europe. But in the beginning
Of the middle ages change began 10
take place III the method of mixing the
ingredients. and some other substances
We're brought into use. Butter. eggs
aud salt found their way into pastry
making. and the result was a manifest
improvement. Paste next came TO be
used as an Enclosure for meat. seasoned
with spices. etc. Afterward it went a
step further the next use being for the
Enclosure OF creams. fruit. preserves,
etc, and later still il began to take the
many fanciful shapes in which it has
since been commonly found In the
early stages of English cookery the
pastry eases were called collins or
''coffynes" ard We're made in various
sizes from "Gret coffynes with lowe
liddes" for the ''tartes of fliesche" TO
the "smalle coffynes" for "tartolettes"
of ''fische or filesche." mixed with
