INDUSTRIAL FARM
Proposed for District by Seth Farms
worth of Chicago.

Seth Farnsworth Of Chicago has pro-
posed to the Commissioners the establish
ment of a self-supporting industrial farm
school for unemployed in the District
Mr.. FarnswOrths idea is to have this
institution resemble combination of
the workhouse and the poorhouse. He
has been interested in the esta blishm
OF similar institution near Chicago and
is convinced that this Is an effectual
means OF dealing with the unemployed
Mr.. Farnsworth says: Beyond the cost
of an inexpensive equipment it need not
cost the District one cent to run this in
stitution. The poor farms in Illinois,
Kansas and Nebraska are self-supporting
and have money to their credit in the
county banks.
Mr.. Farnsworth contends that such in
stitutiOns as these will eventually do
away with the various correctional and
charity institutions. He suggested to
Commissioner Macfarland the location of
this farm in Alexandria county. near Ar
lingtOn.
BY cooperative working plan the in
mates will share In the profits and they
will earn their cost OF maintenance three
fold.
Commissioner Mcfarland has referred
the matter to the District board Of chart
ties.

Disapproved by Commissioners.

Chairman Smith of the House District
committee has received a communicat ton
from the District Commissioners com
menting unfavorably upon the House bill
to regulate the operation of passenger ele-
vators in the District. by the use of an
automatic safety device to prevent car
from moving up down while the door
is open.
Although the Commissioners believe
that it is important to safeguard the pub
lie as far possible. they say that to In
sst upon such device would complcate
the machinery.
The Commissioners also reported I'M
favorably upon the bill to permit the
Capital Railway Company to extend its
line to Shepherds Landing. They say
that it would be imprac,icable for the
line to reach Shepherds Landing and
offer a substitute bill. which provides
that the company shall first acquire d
right of way Two years is the period
allowed the company for the completion
of the extension. The company is re-
quired to put up $1,000 forfeit. which will
go to the District if the company fails
to carry out the project.

ICE HARVEST IN MAINE.
Companies Report Bountiful Sup
ply of Fine Product.

The officials Of the American Ice Com
pany at this city report that a bountiful
supply of fine ice is being cut on the
kenebec and other rivers in Maine and
that the big icehouses of the company
along these streams are being filed with
the product from natures factory. The
same conditions are said to exist along
the upper part of the Hudson river. and
also at other points in the north where
the ice company gathers supplies, so that
there will be no danger Of any shortage
in the supply Of Ice during the coming
warm weather. The first cargo Of ice
from the north will come up the Potomac
within TIE next two weeks. but will be
discharged at Alexandria and will be
used there in icing refrigerator cars load
ed with fruit and vegetables from the
southern gardens to the big markets at
Philadelphia. New York and Boston.
AS the output of the ice manufa curing
plants, in this city Is ample to meet the
demand for the next two months or long
err it is not probable that the ice-laden
schooners from the kennebec will begin
to arrive until the latter part Of May.
From that time. however, through the
warm months two or three big coasters
will come here each week and unload car
gees of Ice.
Along the upper Potomac ii is stated.
ice was Gu; curing the past ten days
eight inches thick. and a considerable
quantity of ii was stored by those living
along the river for summer use.

Travel by boat is al discount at this
season in some waters. but the steamers
of the Norfolk and Washington line.
thanks TO their protected route and their
superior accommodations. are patronized
extensively the year around. The stress
of weather is rarely felt on the Potomac
or in that portion of the Chesa peake

conditions were the reverse 1t ID safe
to assume that these Stanch craft would
not be much affected by the elements.
These vessels sail at $50 pm. daily COM

MONORAIL TO BALTIMORE.
Rumor That Line Costing 81 ,OOO,-
600 Will Be Constructed.

1t is said that the American Monorail
Company. a Baltimore concern controlling
the patents held in that city. proposes to
build a monorail line between Washing
ton and Baltimore. 1t is asserted that
the company has the necessary capital
and that rights of way have been pro-
cured for a large part of the distance.
The estimated cost is $4,000 per mile or
about 81 100000.
This system includes long, narrow car,
running on single Trail spiked to the
ties in the usual manner. by which system
the inventor claims a possibility of attain
ing and maintaining a speed OF 100 to $50
miles an hour with perfect safety and
comfort to the traveller. The fundamental
principle that causes this evenneSs o. mo-
