Ihey are marching with hating step,
A hating step and slow;
And many in those blue-cIad ranks
Have hair as white as snow:
Their youth lies on the battIefelds
Of forty years ago.
The faded, tattered flags they bear,
All torn by shot and shell,
Are sacred emblems of the dead
Who loved their country well;
How great their love and sacrifice
No human tongue may tell.
Those serried ranks are thinning fast
That once with martial tread
The knapsack and the musket bore
Where Grant and Sherman led;
Their sleep is sound and peaceful
In the bivouac of the dead
No more the reveille at dawn
Shall rouse them from their sleep;
No more shall wives and sisters mourn;
No more shall mothers weep;
Their names upon the roll of fame
Times hand has craven deep.
And some lie on those hard foubht
fields
Where now the Blue and Gray
Clasp hands across the battle lines
Their blood has washed away;
Where once the tide of battle flowed,
Their children's children play.
The passing years speed swiftly.
And silence round them wraps;
And to their listening ears there comes
No sweeter song, perhaps,
Than when the battered bugle sounds

Growing Part of District.

II Ia quite apparent that this region Is
one of the growing portions Of the Dis
trict. While the section bordering the old
bounds of the city is now an essential
urban locality with the streets lined with
houses built in rows, the name OF Ecking-
ton is still retained. which was given
some years ago when the land was laid
out as one of the suburbs Of the city.
The houses were designed in accordance
with that notion, and examples are still
to be seen of the cottage and villa type Of
homes with lawns and gardens about
them.

future home is to be house in row.
Several rows Of that description are al
ready there, and some are to be found
along Rhode Island avenue just east OF
4th street. where the cars turn and start
for the Maryland terminus
The subdivision additions to Brook

point, and as that settlement spans the
stretch of country lying between Rhode

cially that section that comes down to
Rhode Island avenue. In fact. for long
distance after leaving Attn street the car
line passes amid fields on both sides of
the avenue.
AS is also the case along other lines of
the outward growth and extension of the
city, it is not until one begins to approach
the Maryland border that the largest
cluster of houses is seen. However, be-
fore that point is reached one comes to
Groves Park. where facing the car line
houses are being built not in rows. but
quite close together. Then there is the
subdivision of Ellaston Terrace, under the
management of the Columbia Real Es-
tate Company, and still farther to the east

CHANGING NOTES OF BIRDS.
Their Varying Calls in Sunshine and
Storm.

From the Scotsman.
One Of the most interesting features in
the study of bird life is to note their
varying calls in the changing circum-
stance of sunshine and storm.
The frequent snowfalls of the recent
winter have often been heralded by the
mournful "cluck, cluck," Of the black
birds as they fiocked round the doors
looking for the crumbs that custom had
led them to expect. The mavis is mostly
mute during storm. and tells his tale
of woe more by his ruffied feathers and
dropping wing than by his voice. His
note, however, is the first to welcome a
change to warmer weather.
The stormcock by which is meant the
blue felt or f1eldfare, does not frequent
the habitation OF man, but there is sno
more certain sign of the approach of
severe weather than flock of these
birds flying southwark. Their note is an
ominous "ctuck, chuck" and but for that
they would often pass unnoticed over
head.
The skylark also passed south uttering
timid. twittering note which will later
give place to a gay burst OF song. The
starlings flock greedily to wherever food
is to be found, be it in field or home
stead. The first blink of warm sunshine.

tops bears faint resemblance to their
noisy clamor in the cornfield. The robin
seeks his dole with an air Of quiet con-
fidence and sometimes rewards us with g.
burst of song quite out of keeping with
his surroundings. The blue tits have no
voice to say they are hungry. though
their actions show it, but their spring

The sudden end of New York avenue
at the approach to the fine new bridge
that stretches across the network or
tracks of the terminal of the Union sta
ton is forced on the notice Of those who
use the trolley line along that thorough
fare.
The cars. instead of going straight
along on the line of New York avenue,
as the broad expanse of the bridge ap-
pears to suggest, take a sudden turn and
pass at the side of the freight station
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
thence through lexington.
The obvious reason why the cars stop
and swerve off to the north In such an I'M
expected manner is because there is no
road to the east Of the bridge. Up to
the present time that section Of New
York avenue is merely a map street.
During the present season it is expected
it's course will be graded through the
hills and wooded heights north OF the
Kendall Green property, and so on, prac-
tically to the borders Of the property
of the National Training School for
Boys.
Routes May Be Readjusted.
What the street railway company will
do when the avenue is opened remains
to be seen. But it seems that there will
be a chance to readjust a portion of
the system with mutual advantages to
both the company and the public. This
might not be the case were it not that
during the coming season 1t is expected
another great thoroughfare will be open
Rhode Island avenue. which is inter-
rupted at I'd street east, and from there
to 4th street is as yet unopened.
This gap in the course Of an avenue
which extends through the city, and now
all the way out to the bounds Of the Dis
trict at Mount Rainier Heights. Is incon-
yenient to the public, as all such situa-
lions must be, for it obliges detour o.
greater or less extent At the present
time the cars of the LIE Droit Park line
cross Rhode Island avenue at Sd street
northwest, and thence north and west to
the terminus at Georgia avenue.
1t may no doubt prove to be better
route when Rhode Island avenue Is con-
tinued to the east to have the cars OF
what is known as the Maryland line come
from the center OF the city along tha.
route and thence east out Rhode lsiano
avenue, while cars may also continue ou'
New York avenue.
In other particulars of possible changes
in the line Of streets the benefits Of the
opening up of these two great thorough
fares are manifest, but it is quite evident
that as one result of the street extension
work during the current season many
benefits will come to that section of the
city and the District

From Harper Weekly.
When the passion play at Oberammer-
gau was in progress ten years ago an
American visitor spent much Of his spare
time looking up the actors In their homes
and chatting with them about the play.
One complaint he met almost everywhere
was the tremendous fatigue the perform
ers suffered at the close Of the eight
hour performance. Coming to the home
Of Hans Twink. the Judas Of the play,
he found the painter-actor in quite
cheerful mood.
Does the performance fatigue you so
much. tOo?" the tourist inquired
Ere Herr Twink could reply his little
ten-year-old son chirped up:
PA, he don't get so tired. He hangs
himself at o'clock and comes home
two hours before the others"

BLOODSHED THREAT
In YARDAMAN FIGHT
VitriOlic Articles Stir Both
Senatorial Factions.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 3l.-The Senatorial
contest IS beginning to get interesting.
To-day Leroy Percy, one Of the candi-
dates. published long article taking
Former Gov. Vardaman severely to
task, and giving reasons why he should
not be sent to the Senate.
He published articles from Vardaman's
newspapers, in which he assailed Mr..
Roosevelt and his mother, Mr.. Mckinley,
Mr.. Taft, Bishop Galloway. and other
ministers of the Gospel. to show that he
was not fit man to represent a great
State at Washington.
This article was printed in the News
OF this city.
About the same time the News was
placed on the desks Of the members Of
the legislature a great bundle of Brook
Haven Leaders were distributed. This
paper, edited by B. T Hobbs, made a
terrific assault on Mr.. Percy and his
friends, charging them with using whisky
and debauching members of the legisla-
ture TO pull them away from Vardaman.
Tonight in the lobby Of the Edwards
House Frank Cannon, charged by Hobbs
with being a barkeeper for Percy, made
dive for Hobbs, but Hobbs was too
quick with his gun and Cannon halted
remarking that he was not armed.
Two ballots were taken for United
States Senator tonight, showing the
deadlock to be as tight as ever. On the
first ballot Vardaman received IS votes,
and on the second y. The other candi-
dates showed their usual strength, with
Percy, IS; Alexander, a; Kyle, II; Bird,
16, and a few scattering TO make out I6g
votes and S5 necessary 10 a choice.
It is predicted that. something will drop
Tuesday or Wednesday. The opposition
candidates declare they are now well or
ganized and ready to begin the elimina-
ton process. all being pledged to vote for
any man agreed upon against Vardaman.
