F. II. Dean and James Watson, who were
arrested in connection with the street car
trouble at Sixteenth and Burt streets last

for this action and warned them against

NAME OF JEFF DAVIS
WILL BE RESTORED TO TABLET
ON CABIN JOHN BRIDGE.
Story of How Cognomen of President
of the Confederacy Was Obliter-
ated from Structure During
Civil War.

| Washington.-The following order
was issued recently:
| The secretary of war, by direction of
the president, has instructed the chief of
| engineers of the United States army to
take the necessary steps to restore the
| name of Jefferson Davis as secretary of
war to Cabin John Bridge.
Cabin John Bridge is a great stone
arch, until recently the largest in the
| world, spanning picturesque gorge in
the upper Potomac valley, seven miles
west of Washington. This arch sup
ports the aqueduct through which the
water supply of Washington flows and
also serves as a highway bridge on
that much-traveled way-the Conduit
road. The mutilation of the arch has
been commented on by millions of peo-
pie and although the subject is an old
one the real story of the erasure of
Davis name has only lately been told
The erasure has been variously
charged to Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs,
chief engineer of the construction of
the Washington aqueduct, and to Ed
win M. Stanton, secretary of war un-
der President Lincoln. Neither Of
these was responsible. The order for
the erasure of the name was given by
Caleb R. Smith, secretary of the in.
terror, in June, 1862.
William R. Hutton, who was an en-.
gineer in the aqueduct construction,
and who became chief engineer of
the work, has given the following ac-
count:
I'm June, 1862, at the request of the
secretary of the interior, Caleb r.

duct had just been transferred, I ac-
companied the secretary and a mum.

the aqueduct. We went up by boat on
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal.
Opposite Cabin John several of the
party disembarked and walked to the
uncompleted bridge for nearer view.

Home-Made Oatmeal Wash.

A skin whitening preparation that
can be easily made at home is in the
proportion of two tablespoonfuls of oat-
meal, a half tablespoonful of pow
dered borax and half pint of rose
water.
Let the mixture stand three days,
strain, and add half ounce of alcohol.
The addition of the alcohol prevents
the souring which is the drawback to
SO many oatmeal preparations.
If preferred, instead of using all oat-
meal, it can be mixed with half it's
bulk of almond meal. Either of these
washes makes the skin feel soft and
smooth.

Pennsylvania rushed up to Mr.. Smith
and said:
=" Do you know that rebel Meigs has
put JEFF Davis name on the bridge?'
Turning to me, the secretary said:
The first order l give you is to cut
JEFF Davis name off the bridge
A few days later was appointed
chief engineer of the aqueduct. Not
taking the, secretarys remark seri-
ously I did nothing about the removal
OF the name. A week later, Robert
Mcintyre, the contractor, arrived in
Washington to resume work on the
bridge, the work having BEEN tenn
porarily suspended pending the ar
rival of materials. He called at the
interior department to pay his re-
spects to Secretary Smith. The Sec
retary told him to cut Davis name
off the bridge, and the first thing Nc
lntyre did on returning to the bridge
was to set mason at the work of
cutting off the name, which was in
raised letters"
Cabin John bridge is $50 feet long.
The span is 220 feet wide and the
thickness of the arch and the width
OF the roadway on top is 20 feet.
Across the arch and below the road
way runs the conduit, which is nine
feet in diameter. The arch is COM
posed of 1900 cubic yards of Potomac
bluestone, 852 yards of concrete and
SIG yards of brick.
The height of the roadway above
the stream is 100 feet and the cost Of
the arch was $254,0OO.

CHURCH SHOWS GAINS.
Roman Catholics Lead in Statistics with
an Estimated Membership of
1884, 731.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-Sta
tistics for year show that all the re-
ligious bodies of the United States for
the year 1908 together made a net gain
Of 720,647. During the year the number
of churches increased by 1874 and the
number of ministers by 1886. Neverthe
less. the increase is declared to be less
than normal in each item.
The average of membership gain for
the last six years was 912, 728. The total
present number of church members in
the United States is 34,282, 543. Out
ranking every other sect to 1, although
less than the aggregate of Protestants,
is the Roman Catholic, with an. estimat-
ed membership of 1884, 731. This, it is
explained, means adherents rather than
members after the stricter fashion of
Protestant bodies.
Next to the Roman Catholics come the
Methodists with 3,112,44S communi-
cants. Third are Baptists with 1854, 301
members, followed next by these five de-
nominations: Baptists (colored), 1864
SIT; Methodist Episcopal (south), 1,749,-
800; Presbyterian (north), 1,278, 259;
Disciples of Christ. 1874, 725; regular

Pearman, so that he may finish his days

Dead Sea over the arrangement, and

it's little I'd think of that just now, to
save Maude. My love, am powerless !"

by her deathbed than this!
Our nineteenth century training makes

lieve, my brethren, that when the mask
is dropped, feelings are not much the
same as of yore. Bitter tears are shed
over worthless women, and deep lamenta-

privacy of the bed chamber. The matu-
final razor sweeps the chin at times with
a strange fascination for one strong free

For more than an hour does Granville
pace his apartment, musing over Maude's

the slightest interference on his part.
Then he thought savagely of the old duel

times, and run his chance of disqualifying
