troubled the bird was plain enough
Some creature had ventured too near
her nest and she WAS expostulating
as vehemently as she knew how. Bent
on Kidding the bird of the annoyance,
whatever 1t was, the fisherman
strolled toward her and suddenly
jumped back with a startled express

In the middle than a fat mans wrist.
Blacksnakes are harmless and help

down many living things that prey
upon garden truck. And this snake
would not have been hurt If he had
moved our Of the way. But he WAS
llstless and disclosed anger at being
disturbed. Thereupon the fisherman
struck him sharply with heavy stick
and the snake squirmed for time
and died. The fisherman gazed at
him remorsefully until he noticed a
dead catfish lying near by, and then
his remorse turned to amazement.

WILL HONOR FIRST PRINTER"
oina to Be Recognized BY
Press Association.

The memory of William Parks.
"First Printer to the Public" first
newspaper editor In the colony of yir-
glnia, is to be honored with sub
stantial scholarship at William and
Mary college, and with tablet to be
erected upon the green in front Of the
college campus, according to the
terms Of resolution adopted at the
recent annual convention at StauDfon
of the Virginia Press association, the
New York World states.
Parks, an Englishman, after short
stay in Maryland, was invited by Gov.
William Gooch to establish press at
Williamsburg. Coming to Virginia In
1730, he was, In 1873, appointed off,
cial printer and held that position
until his death in 1850. In 1876 he
began the publication of THE Vir-'
ginia Gazette, containing the Fresh
est Advices, Foreign and Domestick."
This marked the beginning of Journal
ism in Virginia.
That Virginia should have Jagged
behind New England with respect to
printing was due to the repressive at
titude of the governing authorities.
In 1871 Sir William Berkeley, the gov
ernor, in response to inquiries touch
Ing the state of the colony. made his
oft-Quoted comment on free schools
and printing, thanking God that yir-
ginia was free from both. While the
first actual use of the printing press
in Virginia occurred In 1882, the steps
to suppress the evil by the powers
that were. both In Williamsburg and
London. were effective until the ar

The first issue Of the Virginia Ga
zette appeared on August 9, 1885,
After Parks death there was no

Before District ofheials Bake q re.

sirability Of installing .,a System OF
high pressure water mains Rs means
of fire protection they will inquire
into" the question Of whether insur-
ance companies would reduce pre-.
miums in Washington If such sys-
tenn Is put into. operation.
The department heads who are
gathering data for submission to the
Commissioners said today they have
not yet learned how the insurance
companies would look upon higher
pressure in connection with FIRE IN
surance rates. but they indicated that
that phase probably would be taken
into consideration later.
One insurance man pointed out to-
day that Washington is better situ-
ated than most large cities in the
matter of fire insurance rates, be-
cause of the wide streets and the
fact that there Is no congested area
of skyscrapers in which q confiagra-
tion could spread rapidly.
High-pressure fire mains. he said,
would further reduce the fire hazard
by providing the fire department with
streams of water that would reach
the tops of the high buildings that
have been erected here in recent
years.
The possibility of lowering insurs
ance rates, however. Is regarded by
civic leaders as of secondary con-
sideration.
These men who take an active part
in the affairs of the trade and civic
organizations feel that the primary
aim should be to, give the fire de-
partment high pressure so that ii

Cites Phases Of Question
Which It Says Were.
Missed in Opinion.

Officials Of the Washington, Railway
and Electric Company believe that
there are several phases Of the street
car merger question which 7Corpora-
ton Counsel Stephens did not take
into.ceasideration when he drafted the
opinion that the companies could con-
solidate under existing law.
1t was learned today that the COM
pany has written to the commission
setting forth the points which it be-
lieves were not fully weighed by the
corporation counsel when he inquired
into the question Of whether addi-
tional legislation by Congress is need
ed to permit the w. r. 4 Il. and the
Capital Traction companies to unite
Engineer Commissioner Keller,
chairman Of the utilities board. said
today the points raised by the w. H.
& e. have been referred to Mr.. Ste
phens. The colonel said he would
make public the company's reply
after the corporation counsel has had
raised.
Although legal minds appear to be
divided on the question OF whether
the two companies could merge now
without an enabling act. persons in
touch with the traction situation be-
lieve that no steps toward con-
solidation are likely to be taken un-
til Congress has acted on the bills now
pending. describing how the union OF
the lines should be effected.
The fact that the valuations placed
on the properties of the street car and
electric light companies are still being
contested in the courts also Is looked
upon as an obstacle to immediate
merger.
1t Is known that one point which
officials of the w. r. & f. are consid-
ering is that Mr. Stephens made no
mention in his opinion as to whether
the Potomac Electric Power Company.
which is owned by the w. r. & E..
