TROLLEY TO MOUNT VERNON
No Longer Necessary to Sail Down
the Potomac to Reach the
Home Of Washington.

In these days Of trolley cars and
interurban connections it is no longer
necessary to sail down the Potomac
to reach Mount Vernon, although that
Is always pleasant trip. The Wash
ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
trolley cars carry passengers along
the rivers wooded shores, pass
through quaint old Alexandria and on
to an entrance of the estate leading
to the rear of the mansion house. The
train crosses a bridge which has re-
placed the famous old long bridge
over which the Union army marched
in the COS, privilege denied the con.
federate troops.
AS soon as the Virginia side is
reached the conductor hangs up cards,
one In the front of the car with the
significant word White" and one in
the back which indicates that back
seats are for colored passengers. This
means that in obedience to the laws
of Virginia you must, II white pas

Mount Vernon, with It's century-ol'

hedges Of box~Sod, its deer park, its

men In standing posture. Its rolling
acres of velvety LAWNS so reminis-
cent of the estate of an English gen.

of the man who held 1t the more re-
markable. 1t is not strange that after

to remain here and look after his

SCORES STAMP COMPANIES.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Says
Methods Are False.

Methods Are False.
At the hearing Of trading stamp cases
in the appellate court yesterday It was
declared by Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci White that If the stamp companies
are permitted to do business in the Dis
trict it will amount to a tax of $3.50 a
month on every man receiving 800
He said OF this $4,000 which would go
TO the stamp companies only two-fifths OF
the amount would be paid out TO the
customer, leaving a handsome profit for
tho concerns.
Mr.. White said the whole purpose of the
companies was TO encourage people to
save stamps. In the case Of the Green
Trading Stamp Company. he said, It re-
fuses to redeem IN merchandise for less
than $50 stamps, except for falcon pens.
which he styled a subterfuge.
The cooperative plan was also char
acterized as a subterfuge. It's members
pay Is cents, from which Is deducted the
cost Of securing the . cents, and the
remainder Of the quarter is returned to
the member in installments called dlvi-
dends. In oil other essentials. Mr.. White
said, the plan is Identical with the green

the car reached Franklin Park. From
there events moved more rapidly than did

Standing next TO the man were two

who was well dressed and attracted little
attention, suddenly, and without warning,
attempted 10 strike the women. and was
seized by those standing near.
Breaking from his captors, he elbowed
his way to the front end Of the car,
where he grabbed up a coupling pin and
forced his way back into the car.
BY this time every man aboard was on
the offensive, and as the man approached
the two women. against whom he seem
ed to have a faneied grievance, he spat
at them. and raising the metal high. made
a lunge at them.
Before he could strike he was again
seized by many willing hands and kicked
from the car, with passengers fol-
lowing after him They were not quick
enough, however. and, regaining his feet.

He was hurried to the Fifth street po-

about the possibility OF Justice Moody

proposed TO introduce a bill IN Con-

peeted that he will send in the name for

The fact that no rehearing Is ordered

that the Supreme Court has reached q
satisfactory decision IN those cases. They
were argued Just before the Standard
