UNION STATION.
Hope for Agreement by Conferees
This Week.

meeting of the Senate and House con-
ferees on the Union station street rail-
way trackage bill will doubtless be held
about the middle of this week and an at
tempt will be made to reach an early con-
clusion as to a compromise on the meas
ure.
Senator Gallinger hopes to have the bill
ready for final action by Congress by the
end of the week, but he is not by any
means certain that this can be accom-
plished.
1t is rumore1 that the Senate conferees
are willing to allow the House amend
ment for universal transfers to go into
the compromise bill. but will hold out Tor
no regulation of schedules by the Com
missioners. The determined attitude OF
the House on the bill and it's instructions
to it's conferees give promise Of a pro-
longed session.

MONEY FOR THE DISTRICT.
House Committee Started in to Per
feet Appropriation Bill.

The District subcommittee of the House
committee on appropriations met today
and started in on the work of perfectins
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill. This will probably occupy the COM
mittee all of this week. and the bill will
go before the House some day next week
The committee has frankly expressed its
intention, in view of the rather ticklish
financial condition that prevails in the
country and the necessity for retrenoh-
ment. of being as economical as possible
with the District bill.

The second resolution provides that wit
nesses shall not be examined or cross-ex-
amined directly by counsel-either counsel
for Lilley or counsel for the Electric Boat
Company. When the lawyers represent
ing the two sides in the controversy want
to ask questions of witnesses these ques-
tions must first be submitted to the spe-
cial committee in writing, and If the
questions are deemed proper they will be
put to the witness by member of the
special committee.
The third resolution has to do with Mr..
Lilleys request that the committee take
action to prevent him being shadowed by
detectives. This resolution asks Mr..
Lilley if these detectives he complains of
have hampered him in any way in bring
ing evidence before the special commit
tee and says, if they have that the sub
committee will do everything possible to
protect him, member of the House.

All Employees to Be "of6cers :,

The Senate committee on the judiciary
today ordered reported favorably a bill
extending to all agents and employees Of
the government, or persons pretending to
be such. the penalties already prescribed
by law for Officers guilty of extortion.
The necessity for such a provision arises
by reason of a court decision that a
special agent is not such an Officer as
could be punished under the law relating
to extortion by government officials.

WHAT ABOUT A COOK STOVE?

Now that summer time and dog
Gays" are just ahead, everybody who
summers" at home. is considering
Row to simplify things and get the
most comfort out of an uncomforta
BILE situation.
We interview the ice-man; order
thin clothes; plan to ease up here and
relax there; but more than likely we
forget the one most important item in
the whole hot-weather scheme-some
means of doing the family cooking
without the insufferable heat of coal
fire in the kitchen.
Everyone with experience knows
how hard it is to stay in a stuffy room
to prepare a meal, let alone the doing
Of q big baking. But everyone doesn't
know how very easy it is to change Il
hot kitchen to cool one, and do bet
ter cooking at the same time. Just add
to your list Of summer conveniences
New Perfection Wick Blue Flame
Oil Cook Stove and you've done all
that any one can do to lessen ho-
weather discomfort.
Wouldn't it be fine of a summer
morning to step in the kitchen, put on
The kettle, broil the steak. make the
muffins, filter the coffee and give the
breakfast call in one-fourth the time
you'd take to do 1t all on a coal stove :?
And wouldn't it be fine to be as cool
when the breakfast was prepared as
when you first entered the kitchen?
/ People who have tried it say that
the New Perfection Oil Stove actually
does everything in the line of cooking
and domestic service without over
heating the room or the worker.
Undoubtedly the reason is to be
,Cund in the blue flame principle on
which the stove works.
A cylindricaf chimney concentrates
the heat at the stove top and in this
way prevents surface radiation as in
q coal or wood store.
1t is easy to see that this lessons
very much the matter of personal dis
comfort in summer housekeeping.
So don't forget the New Perfection
Gil Stove in your summer plans and
you will have a comfortable kitchen
and the best cook stove in the world.

ADDS TO DIN OF PARIS.

While in America societies are being formed for the suppression of street noises, Paris has added an- other to the terror of the streets. It is a new form of bicycle alarm. The bell and the horn have had their day, and now the favorite "avertisseur" consists of a sort of miniature tambourine, which is struck by a small wooden hammer operated by contact with the spokes of the front wheel. It is certainly effective, but the noise is said to be enough to revivify a cadaver. So great is the demand for the new alarm that in less than eight days a single shop sold more than a hun- dred of them.

AT OLD SWEET SPRINGS
Beautiful Spot in Mountains Of We<s Virginia That Has Many At
 fractions.

In the mountains of West Vir- ginia, which are not as well knowE to the country at large as they de- serve to be, are many lovely spots, that are summer resorts as well as beautiful resting places in spring and fall. Old Sweet Springs is such a place. It is far above the sea level, and there has been a hotel there ever since 1792. George and Martha Washington spent the sum- mer of 1197 there, and there Jerome Bonaparte met Elizabeth Patterson. There, too, is still standing the "Lewis Cottage" said to have been the first house erected west of the Alleghanies. There is a golf course at Old Sweet Springs which Is said to be very fine; anyway, there is a mint patch by the brook. The springs themselves are believed to cure nearly everything, including dandruff Without vouching for this latter fact, doubtless if you play golf every day without a hat, they will help.-Travel Magazine.

NOTES OF GOLDEN EAGLE.

Every pair of eagles whose habits I have had an opportunity of watch- ing over a period of few years would seem to have invariably at least two alternative sights for their nests; some have three, and 1 knon of one with four sites. In fact, \ only know of one pair out of many which habitually resort to but one place and only one.
 The reason for this is, however, apparent, for owing to its situation it has never been disturbed. The nest is in small cavern on the face of an absolute wall of limestone rock some Sot feet high, at about 400 feet from the summit. Above the cliff is a talus of loose stone at an angle of 45 degrees or so, above which again rise other precipices. To reach the nearest point above this nest would be long days work. Saturday Review.
