QUARREL OF TRACTION
MEN MAKES PEOPLE WALK

CONGRESS is Washingtons city
- council and the people of the capt.
tai are now experiencing difficulties
which arise from the fact that its al
dermen meet only once a year.
The great new railroad station has
been completed and one of the two
railroads which enter the city has
taken possession. Incoming and out
going travellers are obliged to walk
long distance to the depot from and to
the nearest street car line. There are
many people who in this time of
financial stringency do not care to pay
for cabs, and so a long line of luggage
bearers foot it along daily through the
sticky district mud to the paved door
way of the station.

their first accomplishment, is un-
doubted.
The discovery of this subterranean
melody was made by two negroes
who, while strolling along Broadway,
were surprised to hear music from a
manhole near Twenty street. 1t
was ringing cornet solo rendered
with great spirit. The two immediate
ly fell into a violent discussion as to
what the player was doing under the
street and how he got there. Before
they could decide to call the police a
large audience had collected and when
the solo gave place to the strains of a
full brass band the applause was en-
thusiastic.

MUSIC FROM MAN-HOLES

Further applause at the end of the
selection failed to produce an encore,
but when some one dropped nickel
down the manhole as a contribution to
the band supposedly concealed be-
meath it, with others following suit,
the music suddenly began again, con-
tinuing enthusiastically for many
hours.
Eventually members of the traffic
squad had to disperse the audience of
music lovers, which was blocking the
streets. Meanwhile, with occasional
pauses, the music continued through
the night to the delight of thousands,
and not until the following day was
the cause brought to light. Then It
was discovered that there was a leak
in the electric wires over which music
is sent by company which transmits
it from central producing station to
hotels, halls and private residences. 1t
was one of these wires which had
short-circuited, thus giving Broadway
a free concert, a mystery and a sensa-
ton all at once.

cepts. Last year, knowing that the
station was soon to be completed, the
street railroad officials asked for a
right of way to the new station. The
committee was ready enough to grant
it, but the officials of one traction COM
pany objected to something which the
officials of the other company wanted,
and as a result Of the fight action was
postponed for year, and now Wash
ington walks.
The street car companies are out a
lot of nickels, the citizens are disgust
ed, and the upshot of the whole thing
will be that the objecting company
will gain nothing, for the point which
it fought is now counted as lost, and
the ground plan has been laid for .fu-
ture objection to franchise extensions.
The walking Washingtonians are
angry enough to make certain that
their memories will hold on to the
present grievance for years to come.

wise there would be double reason for
the present cry for more room.
Former Senator PETER of Kansas,
who at one time, largely perhaps be-
cause of his picturesque views on peo-
pies rights and because of his equally
picturesque whiskers, was much in
the public mind and eye, practically
lives in Washington. He is engaged,
it is understood, in the nothing less
than herculean task of making an in
dex for the Congressional Record. 1t
is said that Mr.. PETERS patience is
equal to his soul-trying employment
Former Senator Stewart, "Silver"
Stewart of Nevada, is in Washington.
He is as white as the Snow on the top
of his Nevada mountains, but despite
his S0-odd years he is as strong appar.

Senators Blair of New Hampshire and
Thurston of Nebraska are practicing
law in Washington. The list is too
long for the present writing.

work progressed and the building at
So East One Hundred and Second
street is now completed. Moreover.
although there has been no source OF
revenue but voluntary contributions.
there isn't the sign of a lien or mort
gage anywhere in sight.
The rs rooms are bare of furniture
and the 18 front windows present a
blank and curtainless glare to passers-
by, and Mr.. Tyndall is now trying to
raise the $4,000 necessary to furnish
the rooms.
While the hotel is designed primari-
ly for wage earning girls, young wo-
men who are strangers in the city will
get temporary accommodations provid-
ed they can show credentials of re-
spectability. Room and board will be
furnished at from three to five dollars
a week. Women over 50 are reckoned
as undesirable inmates.
Robert E. Tyndall, brother of the
clergyman, is to be the manager of
the house, which is to be for the bene-
fit of permanent rather than of trans
lent guests. While the hotel will not
be under the control of any one de-
nomination, and attendance upon re-
ligious services will not be enforced
upon the residents, its atmosphere
will be decidedly religious

upon the scene.
Madam" he began deprecatingly,

the smoker

''Well, sir, the sign says smoking

air of being well within her rights.
The guard, finding his authority in
effective, called up the captain of the
watch, who joined his expostulations
to those of his subordinate, but all to
no avail. The woman turned on them
a serene and unruffied countenance,
and, looking at them as though they
were not" proceeded to finish her
cigarette.
When the last little whiff had been
expelled madam arose and, strolling
leisurely through the corridors, was

changing the phraseology of the sign

T HE library of congress, with its
manifold attractions, is of interest
to the average sightseer and accord
ingly the main stream of the touring
public flows toward the great struc-
ture adjoining the capitol. All classes
of all nationalities pass through its
doors, and to be successful in their
calling and to afford the universally
polite service their position demands
the attendants must possess a reserve
fund of tact which might well bring
them into notice in more ambitious
fields.
Recently a modishly gowned woman,
apparently in her early thirties, after
wandering about the several depart
ments during the forenoon, asked to
be directed to the cafe, which is a
part of the equipment of the building.
Having satisfied her hunger. the Wis
itor again acCosting one Of the guards,
inquired the way to the smoking room.
Albeit a bit surprised at the inquiry,
the attendant gave the required infor-
nation, whereupon the woman made
her way to the sanctum and quite re-
gardless of the looks of astOnishment
from the men assembled for their
postprandial cigars, she calmly en-
tered the room
Settling herself comfortably she
drew from her handbag a daintily
monogramed case and, taking there

baths, all finished in marble, and each

like those in the Roman baths will

PASTOR QUIETLY BUILDS
WORKING GIRLS HOTEL

nj EW 1O1h.-W nile 10 women s
~ clubs in their federated as well as
their individual capacity have been
talking about the crying need for a
working girls hotel, and racking their
composite brains for feasible schemes
to get the necessary money, the pas
tor of little church in Harlem is
busy building one.
About two years and a half ago It
occurred to Rev H. M. Tyndall that
the broken stone and sand which were
the by-products of building excava-
tions in the city might be put to n
better use than that of increasing the
size of various dump heaps Why
shouldn't they be purchased, he rea-
soned, for nominal sum by con-
tractors who are putting up concrete
buildings and be used for his new
plan? He determined to become the
first of these contractors. His congre-
CATION had already decided that the
pastors project of hotel for working
girls under the auspices of the Peo-
pies tabernacle at 50 East One Hun
dred and Second street was worthy
and practicable and We're ready to
pledge their support.
So Mr.. Tyndall bought the stone
and sand, and collected a force OF
Italian laborers to turn it into con-
crete. In the intervals when he wasn't
bossing the mixing he was drawing
pictures Of a five-story and basement
building with rs rooms and complete
assortment of comforts and some lux
uries.
