under his facile pen, that will

Is it sentimentP Those who
love the beautiful will catch the
inspiration that prompts all that
is attractive within the inner re-
cesses of the heart and soul, be
cause the thoughts are but the
expression Of the immaculate
teachings of nature. The practi-
cal and unimpressionable will
think such ideas the variest "rot"
and useless waste of time and
talent.
Right here the thought intrudes
itself, is it not strange that fair
woman, the most attractive and
sensitive creation of earth, is
passionAtely fond of sentiment.

LONDON, April >. 1905
ONDONERS are beginning to
realize at last that the problem
of conveying them from their
homes in the suburbs to their
work every morning and back
again at night is becoming increasingly
serious and one that must be grappled
with and settled at once if disaster
financial and otherwise, is to be avoided.
Accordingly a bill will be introduced at
the present session of parliament for the
appointment of London traffic COM
mission, which shall have autocratic
powers over 'the companies and public
authorities concerned in the business of
carrying passengers within the London
area.
The fact is that London. although the
oldest and greatest of cities. and one
of the best equipped in many of the con-
veniences of life, is ages behind the times
in the matter of traffic facilities. She
began dmly to realize this fact some
years ago, and then began feverish
race to capture what every one saw, at
last, was a great source of revenue. Be
fore that she depended on the crawling
old horse omnibuSeS and almost equally
slow and much dirtier underground
The awakening was due, of course. to
the foresight and genius of an American.
Charles Il. YerkeS came along. d
gold mine that was not being worked
and straightway set about working il.
He planned d wonderful system of UNI
foreground raiways-"tubes" they are
called here-and he built most of them.
He died, however, before the system was
completed and before his plans were
fully worked out. and the Yerkes tubes
are now in as bad a mudde as the other
London passenger-carrying companies.
His example caused the directors of
the underground to wake up and electrify
their line They electrified the line, but
they have not been able to make it pay.
and their last condition is worse than
their first.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-04-11

When the awakening came the omnibus
companies were practically in control of
the field Their old buses numbered along
comfortably with the drivers asleep on
the box, and the conductors only suf-
ficiently awake to collect the fares. They
paid comfortable dividend to the share
ployes. When the awakening came, how
ever the omnibus companies joined in
the rush for modern facilities. They
went in for motor OmnibuSeS-great
noisy. evil-smelling vehicles. that rush
about the streets carrying havoc to cabs
and other traffic, and in wet weather
when the streets are greasy are quite I'M
comfortable. The public took TO them
at first because of their supposed speed,
but it soon deserted them again on ac-
count of the vibration. the evil smell and
the liability to break down. And then
it was discovered that the motor buses
did not pay in any case. The engineers
had given them working life of ten
years. They wore out in two three
years and the repairs ate up their earn
ings during their short life.
The companies, with characteristic
British business methods, could only see
one remedy for all this Instead Of adopt
ing the policy preached by Mr.. Yerkes
of giving the public better service at a
lower cost, and thus inducing larger
numbers to use the new facilities pro-
vided, the British managers OF all the
lines adopted the policy of reducing the
service and charging more for it, Be
fore the advance in fares London was
one of the most expensive cities in the
world to get about in. Now it is beyond
doubt the most expensive.
In New York or Chicago one may ride
twenty miles for cents, and If one rides
only block or two the charge is the
same. The companies make money by this
system. In London the theory is that one
must pay for exactly what one gets Tie
local traveller in London may have q one
cent ride which takes him about half a
mile, but If he wishes to get across on
don-about the same distance as from the
Battery to the extreme northern limits
of New Iork-t Will cost him anywhere

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
To Clean Gloves,

White gloves may be cleaned in the
following way: Lay them on clean
table and rub into them mixture of
finely powdered fuller's earth and alum
In equal quantities. Work this well in
and then brush it off. Afterward
sprinkle the gloves with dry bran and
whiting, then shake and dust them.
Another practical way to clean gloves
is with benzine or benzine soap. The
com bination of these two is death to
dirt. Al small sum will purchase a
wooden hand. over which the glove is
slipped ready for scrubbing. A scour-
Ing brush, much like a nailbrush in
form and sitter as to bristles, is dip
ped into the cleansing mixture. and the
glove is thoroughly scrubbed. 1t is
hung to dry. and the glove stretchers
bring it into shape when the cleaning
Is done.

Decision Declares st. Louis Court
Unconstitutional.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-An
aepinion, written by Judge CAN'T, has
been handed down by the supreme
court holding that the law creating
she court of general sessions in the
city of st. Louis is unconstitutional
and the court is invalid and void.
More than 700 cases have been tried
fa the court since it's creation in
May, 1907.
According to the supreme courts
decisions criminals who are confined
on pleas of guilty and on sentences
nnposed by Judge Rodgers of the
coeart of general sessions are illegally
restrained OF their liberty and are en-
titled TO- freedom.
'rhe courts decision was based on
Ihe suit of the school board of St.

which it was sought to divert moneys

His Suit Against Chicago City Rail-

Chicago, Feb. 23-Judge Ball, in
the superior court, has dismissed the
bill filed by Clarence H. Venner of
New York seeking to enjoin the Chi
cago City Railway company and the
city of Chicago from operating under
the ordinance recently granted by the
city to the company. Among other
things sought by Venner was a re-
ceiver for the company and the estab-
lishment of how much money was
used to influence the passage of the
ordnance In concluding his opin-
ion Judge Ball said: ... ..
This complainant purchased his
stock and waited until the ordinance
had been passed and bonds issued be-
fore he filed his bill that he might
come into his reward. | shall quote
Justice Brewer of the supreme court
of the United States, who said in the
case brought by this same complain
