MRS. LITTLETON'S
WITTY RETORT.
Changing Names Not NeCss-
SarIIy a Serious Matter.

l credit Mrs. Martin W. LIttletOn
with the best snap fire retort of the
year. Mrs. Littleton was among those
who urged the house committee on
public buildings In Washington to
change the name Of the house office
building to Jefferson hall as a tribute
to the author of the Declaration Of In
dependence.
But" objected Acting Chairman
Burnett, ITO change the name Of
building so well known would be
about as much honor as giving q man
a secondhand suit of clothes"
"You men who never change your
names seem to think 1t very serious
proposition" retorted Mrs. Littleton.
Some Of us who have changed our
names seem to think 1t Is pretty
good thing after all."-New York

atmospheric conditions, Heaton sug-
gested, even the smaller broom corn
raisers stand chance of losing $50
or more day for each day the corn
stands without cutting.
This year Heaton raised over 400
acres of broom corn, much of which
is being damaged by standing. Next
year, he says, he intends to plant
between thousand and fifteen hum
dred acres of broom corn, and to
avoid another big loss by the labor
famine, will contract for its harvest

MEN AND BOYS, HUNGRY
AND HOMELESS, GATHER
IN MISSIONS BREAD LINE

Every morning, promptly at O'Clock,
while the greater portion OF the city's
population is peacefully sleeping, scores
Of unfortunate men and boys, hungry
and homeless, gather at the Gospel Mis-
sion, 2l4-2l6 John Marshall place north
west. to form Washington's bread line
1t is a scene of sadness which is en-
acted each morning at the little mis-
sion. Fully 100 men and boys. some
young in years, but with the cares Of
the world sunken upon their wrinkled
and hardened faces, and others old and
feeble, tottering with premature age,
stand in line each morning before enter
ing upon a day of arduous toll
This bread line was established in Oc-
tober and will be maintained by the mis-
sion until March 80 next. To each person
in the line is given a cup of hot coffee
and several rolls. 1t is estimated that
by March 90 more than 80, 900 cups of cof-
fee Il, 900 loaves OF bread, and thousands
of rolls will have been distributed by the
mission.
The mission is now appealing to the pub
lie TO aid in the charitable work which II
is undertaking. 1t is pointed out that
81 will feed approximately 100 of the hun
cry, homeless creatures who form the
line. Henry D. Gordon is treasurer Of
the fund. and will receive contributions
at 216 John Marshall place or at his law
ofices, 6l5 Fourteenth street northwest.
The mission has been handicapped in its
work because of the small supply of
clothing which IL has had to furnish the
ragged unfortunates. Herbert W. Kline,
superintendent Of the mission, has an
nounced that a wagon will be sent to
any home for clothing which residents
Of the city may be willing to donate.
The inmates Of the mission are fur
nished with hot and cold baths, towels,
and clean beds, and are allowed the use
OF a piano, local newspapers, and cur
rent magazines.
Because of the unusual amount of
poverty and suffering caused by the
cold weather. the Salvation Army yes

900 REGULARS
SENT TO CHINA
American Expedition Ordered t.
Tientsin to Guard Railway
During Uprising.

Manila, Jan 12-American troops are
on their way to China. after weeks OF
waiting and weeks OF suspense. The
First Battalion Of the Fifteenth Infantry
sailed from this city to-day aboard the
transport Logan. bound for Tientsin.
Nearly 800 men form the Chinese expe-
dition. In addition to the battalion, now
equipped and recruited up to full war
strength. squad of hospital attendants
was sent, as well as one or two field
pieces.
The troops will require from four to
six days 10 reach the Chinese coast. They
will disembark and proceed Immediately
to the interior, where they will take
positions along a stretch OF about fifty
miles Of the Pekin Railway.
No duty other than the protection OF
the line against attack from Chinese rev.
olutionists Is mapped out for the Ameri-
can troops. They are in no sense an in
vading party, but are proceeding to the
treaty, which gives the powers the right
to guard this railroad IL necessary to
keep 1t open.
Mai James Arrasmith is in command
OF the American troops. He is one of
the most experienced Of the field officers
in the Philippines, and Is regarded as
fully qualified for the work ahead Of him.
The American officer is ordered TO re-
port to the American Minister at Pc
kin and keep in close touch with Mr.. Cal
houn.
To-day's movement Of troops Is the
first into China since the Boxers ten
years ago threatened the lives OF all for
eigners in the Chinese empire.

ATLANTIC STORM
WRECKS VESSELS
Revenue-cutter Service Kept Busy
from Maine to North Carolina
Aiding Ships in Distress.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 12.-Raging on the
Atlantic sea board from Maine to North
Carolina, one of the most terrific storms
In years is driving craft to destruction
On shoals and rocky reefs and imperiI-
ing the lives of the men who have at
tempted to save crews and passengers
ef the doomed. vessels. In the Hydro
graphic Office and the Revenue-cutter
Service numerous messages were re-
ceived telling of wrecks and possible
death Revenue-cUtters stationed along
the sea coast have been sent to the res
cue Of vessels that are laundering in the
giant seas.
The intense cold and the binding snow
storm have doubled the dangers of death
by storm. Crews and passengers exposed
to the biting gale for hours have been
carried from their ships by the rescuers
Of the Revenue-cutter Service. They
were unable in one instance TO raise a
hand to save themselves.
Thus far the wireless reports are in
complete. 1t is feared that by morning
the death toll from the sea and snow
will mount high. Until the weather
breaks it will be impossible for the Off
cials Of the Revenue-cutter Service or of
the life-saving stations to tell what dam
age has been done to cOastIng vessels.
From Metenic Island. Me. came word
this afternoon Of the most serious of the
wrecks thus far reported. Seven men of
the hfe-saving crew at urnt Island. who
rescued the thirty men on board the
steamer Carolyn, are on board the ves-
sci, which is now being battered to pieces
on the rocky shoals of the southeast end
Of the island and. despite the heroic ef-
forts of two revenue cutters to reach
them, they appear doomed.
The Carolyn, a big freighter plying be-
tween New York and Portland, foundered
on Thursday night, supposedly because of
a miscalculatiOn OF her course during the
binding storm. The southeast corner of
the island, exposed on three sides to the
waves, which ran mountain high, was not
go yards away from the steamer when
she was driven from her course and on
the rocks.
The life-saving crew at Burnt Island
was the first to pick up the ships S. o.
S.-the signal of dire distress-and the
crew Of seven men, after forwarding the
message to the revenue cutters Andros-
cOggin and Woodbury., reached the crew
Of the Carolyn shortly before the waves
ripped great seams in the HULL, and with
the aid Of the revenue cutters thirty men
were carried ashore to safety
After the crew had been landed, the
two cutters Started back for the seven
men left on the Carolyn. The last re-
ports were that the huge steamer was
slowly breaking up and the rescuers
were making desperate efforts to save
