NEW ROUTE TO LONDON. Found That Mails Can Be Carried Quicker Across America Than Via Sues Canal, According to officials of the New|} York Central railroad the British gov- ament has ‘decided to send Aus- ian mails for London by way of San Franciseo and New York instead of as formerly by way of the Suez eanal. It has been demonstrated that the Pacific and American route is ‘ slightly over three days faster than \ the old route from Sydney to London, by way of Colombo, Aden, Brindisi and London. “We have heard the good news from the San Francisco officérs of the Oceanic Steamship company,” said an official of the New York Central rail- road. “Shipments of Australian mails will leave New York for London every third week. It is our hope that the Australians will travel to their mother country by this route. We Hope,.too, that a large freight traffic willi be at- tracted this way. “The new steamer Ventura, of the Oceanic Steamship company, has brought about this innovation. The Ventura is a fast boat. It is one of ee sister ships built by the Cramps 't Philadelphia. The line from Sydney o San Francisco is an American one, London is the only English portion of the trip.” COMES TO POVERTY. Relative of George Wa Found to Be an Inmate of the Almshouse. Alice Washington Fairchild, who is 65 years old, and a third cousin, once removed, of George Washington, ap- peared the other day as a pauper be- fore Superintendent George Blair, of the outdoor poor department of the department of public charities and was sent to the almshouse. Mrs. Fairchild has occasioned much anxiety and dis- appointment to many persons who be- came interested in her because of her lineage and her poverty. These per- ; sons declare she has been a tramp for the last 22 years and that she is incor- rigible and irreclaimable. There is no doubt that her father was Lawrence Washington, who in- A A herited the Mount Vernon property, of Gen. Washington’s half brother, ohn Augustine Washington. Mrs. Fairchild has often been before the public as the subject of articles, and for a time her claims to distinc. * tion on account of being a Washington were doubted. Mrs. Walter Lester Carr, of the Mary Washington Colonial Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion, verified Mrs. Fairchild’s state- ments by the Washington book and had her fully identified, WINTER BALLOONING. M, Santos-Dumont M. Santos-Dumont is bringing to a close negotiations with the prince of Monaco'’s engineers for, the con struction of an aerodrome below the city of Monaco on ground bordering on the boulevard de La Condamine, says the Monte Carlo correspondent Heratd:—tt-witt be $1 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 15 meters high. It will shelter the Henton-Humont No. 7 measuring 9-meters— ‘diameter, and of which the capacity will be 1,200 cubic meters. When the airship leaves the shed it will pass over the Bay of Monaco, where it will be put ‘through evolutions daily during the months of January and February. The superficial area of the bay is about 300,000 square meters. Whenever the weather permits the eeronauts will leave the bay and carry their experiments out over the Mediterranean. Finally, near the end of February, M. Santos-Dumont will attempt an aerial passage from Monaco to Calvi, Corsica, a distance of about 200 kil- ometers, which he hopes to be able to accomplish in four hours. Wy Plan Cars for Women Only. ,¥ A vigorous correspondence has been proceeding in the London press lately on the comparative politeness "| of different races toward their wom- L } en, in which it is alleged that the ‘ treatment of women in America by m in the street cars came in for rough criticism, and it is claimed p; that, as a whole, chivalry toward the | weaker sex is more general in Eng- land than anywhere else. A curious commentary on this conies this week in the shape of an appeal fo the coun- ty council to establish a system of Street cars especially for women, as in the busy time of the day women have no chance of a a Place in the council’s cars.
