The work of rebuilding Smiths wharf

completed and ready for service early

TINTED States senators often be-
- come good friends, but somehow
they are not prone to becom-
ing real chummy with one another.
Exceptions occur from time to time
to Prove the rule. One OF these excep-
tons applies to Senator Philander C..
Knox of Pennsylvania and Senator w.
Murray Crane Of Massachusetts,. If
the afternoon wanes withcat their
meeting, one is likely to start out to
see where the other is and to learn
what has happened.
Often the Knox automobile and the
Crane automobile exchange honks in
the morning. Not infrequently the
senators ride to the capitol in the
same car. When the luncheon hour
comes, Senator Crane may descend to
the committee on rules, perhaps herald
his advent by turning ont the lights
in the vestibule, and then lead his
crony of to the senate restaurant.
The fondness that Senators Crane
and Knox evince for eating together
is reminiscent of the fondness that
former Senator Edmunds of Vermont
and the late Senator Allen G. Thur
man of Ohio used to have for drinking
together. That was in the earlier
days, when drinking at the capitol was
not frowned upon.
All the oldsters in political Wash
ington are fond of recalling that story,
how the two senators kept q black bot.
tie in the room of the committee on
judiciary. They were certain to ad.
sjourn there twice or thrice every after.

III ASH1NGTON.-The census taken
w recently by the police force of
the District Of Columbia indicates
that the national capital is growing
in population at an exceptional rate.
The increase in inhabitants for the
last year is reported as 1872, which
would mean a growth, If steadily main.
tanned, Of almost 100000 for the cur
rent decade.
OF course such a rate Of growth has
not been maintained since 1900. Ac-
cording to the federal census of that
year, Washington's population was
27S,71S. The population reported by
the police in 1908 is 339, 403, so that
the increase in eight years has been
6O,6S5. BY 1910 Washington may be
expected to gain at least $4,000 more
inhabitants and it's population to rise
to about 355,OOO.

rapid strides forward. Baltimore

and 1900 was III, while Washington's

will undoubtedly be greater in tho
decade from 1900 to 1910, for Balti-
more's growth was checked for q year
or more by the losses of the great
fire Of 1904, while Washington's
growth has been stimulated by enor-
nous building operations most of
them conducted under the auspices OF
the national government.
The check to business resulting
from last falls panic will also be felt
less in Washington than in perhaps
any other American city. The ma
tional capital does not depend for a
livelihood on manufacturers or COM
MERGE, and it's workers have steady
employment assured them because the
governments activities are being con-
tinually extended.
In it's physical aspect Washington
has gained enormously in attractive
ness in the last eight or ten years. It
is an ideal residence city, and it's
charms appeal most potently to Amer

them. It has become the winter home

r HE war department is looking for a

beer and whisky at army posts. The
beverage must not be of the class of
drinks prohibited by the anticanteen
law.
The federal courts have never
passed upon the question of the per-
centage Of alcohol which will render
a beverage an intoxicant The state
courts also have been chary of decid.
Ing the question. In certain cases the
authorities have spoken, however.
Thus, in Rhode Island, it has been
held that where beer contained 2.e9
per cent. of alcohol no evidence was
necessary to show it was intoxicating.
In Texas, a tonic containing from 81.

Finally, arriving at Belgodere In the
early morning and learning from the
innkeeper that no carriage has passed

Roadway, 30 of these on horseback and
eight of them climbing precipices; and
despite despair and anxiety. sleep
claims him-the terrible sleep Of utter
exhaustion.
It is late when he opens his eyes
again and with start wonders where

which stands Isola Rosa. The inn

he gallops of, retracing his steps, all

Where is my stolen bride?"
The night before, Edwin. turning tc

Yes, if Cipriano Danella has her.
He apparently wants chance at my

So he and Edwin walk their horses
up to the junction of the Morosaglia
road.
Did you find that flower here?' he
asks Edwin.
Yes, pretty well toward the middle

one way to settle it, If this cyclamen

So it is arranged that Barnes takes
the road toward the lie Rouse, and
Edwin follows the path leading to the
east toward MOrOsaglia.
