WASHINGTON

The past week in Congress has
been rather tame-a little orstorisl
bandinage by Senator Raynor Of
Maryland urging the insurgent Re
publicans in a playful way to aligu
themselves where they belong, with
the Democrats. This was answered
by Senator Dolliver of lowe, who in.
sisted that the insurgent Republicans
were the "real party" and that they
would continue TO uphold the ban
ner. Debates ON various bills repre-
senting the administrations concep-

is solely at present a party matter
Neither candidate has much If any

A GIRLS ENTHUSIASM

The first bride who ever made a
honeymoon trip on a railroad Ia
America did more by that act TO ex-
pediate the building of the worlds
first trunk line, declares Mr.. q. F.
Carter, in his book. "Whsn Rail-
roads were New" than the ablest
statesmen, engineers and finanolers
of the Empire State had been able to
accomplish by their united efforts in
half dozen years.
The bride who achieved SO much
was Mrs. Henry L. Pierson Of Ram
apo, New York. Mr.. and Mrs Pier.
son we're in Charleston, South Caro-
lima, early in january. 1881, on their
wedding tour. When Mrs. Pierson
heard that q steam locomotive was
to make its first trip with a train
load of passengers from Charleston
to Hamburg, six miles away, she
was eager to take the ride; and her
husband agreed.
The two cars were crazy "contrap
tions'' on four wheels, resembling
stage-coach bodies as much as they
did anything else; but the train con
trived to get over the entire system
of six miles and back again at fair
ly satisfactory speed.
The bride was delighted. She
could talk of nothing else. When
she returned to Ramapo che gave her
brother-in-law, Eleazer Lord, and
her father in-law, jeremiah Pierson,
such glowing accounts Of ber railroad
trip that they were fred with enthu-
siasm. The bridegroom had already
become almost as ardent an advocate
Of railroads as his bride.
Young Mrs. Pierson gave it as her
opinion that If a steam railroad were
built it would be possible to go from
New York to Buffalo in twenty four
hours. At first the men-tolks were
inclined to smile at this, but they
were thoroughly impressed with the
value OF the locomotive as described
by this ardent advocate.
Mrs Persons girlish enthusiasm
was the determining factor which
crystallized the ideas of those men
and led them to take the steps which
finally resulted in the building OF
what is now known as the Erie read,
which, by uniting the ocean with the
Great Lakes, became the worlds
first trunk line.
No railroad had a more romantic
history than this one, which had its
inception in so romantic an incident
1t required twenty years of toll and
anxiety, sacrifice and discourage
Inent to get the line through, but il
was accomplished at last, and the
bridegroom and bride were agair
passengers on trip, which will liv'
in history.
This time the bride was a hand
some woman of middle age, but sht
was just as proud Of her husband al
she was on that first trip. for he wal
vice. president of the road, the long
est continuous line in the world; anC
the trains did move at speed tina
would have carried them from New
York to Buffalo in twenty four hours
just ss she had prophesied two dec
AIDES before.

FROM the London Globe.
1t has always seemed a most extraordi-
nary thing that the land between the
Tigris and the Euphrates, which was the
seat Of the greatest empire of the ancient
world. and which shared with the Nile
valley the distinction Of being the rich
est corn-growing land. should have for SO
many centuries laid desolate and waste.
But the natural richness Of the soil is
not the only factor in the fertility Of
the land. Even more than Egypt 1t was
dependent on careful and scientific irri-
CATION and in the days Of the great SOW
ereigns of Babylon the canals were most
strictly and jealousy guarded. But when
the ancient empires finally fell the canals
and irrigation works were neglected and
left uncared for, with the result that in
a few years time the sand of the desert
and the weeds choked up the waterways,
and the land relapsed into desolation
But the new ministry at Constantinople
has awakened to the importance of the
matter, and Sir William Willcocks. the
famous engineer, who wrote a most vaIu-
able monograph on the Babylonian canals
a few years ago, has been intrusted with
the work The total cost on the Euphrates
is estimated at quarter Of million of
Turkish pounds, of which 100000 will be
spent in the first year. For such an alb
surdly small sum can the desert be once
more turned into fertile land.

From the London Telegraph.
No French actress Is anybody this sea-

must be acting. But Nine. Marthe
Regnier has at all events chosen kindred
topic, with which she is undoubtedly ia
fashions. She has. 1t seems,
made an exhaustive study Of the subject,
from hats to lingerie. Her lecture will.
at all events. begin at the beginning-not
merely at, but before. the deluge. for she
lays it down incontrovertibly that the
first woman to be In the fashion was
Eve. She naturally dressed to please
Adam. Yet Nine. Regnier denies that
all women dress only to please men. "Of
course we want to please men. but we
also want to look nice for our own
sakes. Any one of us alone on a desert
island would still cOntrive to look nice with

destroy certain illusions
There are some fashions. however,
which she will attack, such as that of
hats under Louis XVI. when the Duchesse

son. the Duke de Beaujolais. in his

rejects some fashions of today in hats
and in attenuated gowns. We must not

daring remark. and she adds. judiciously,
that her motto is simplicity, with a note
