NOW SAID TO BE UNITED IN AN EFFORT TO GB- CURE RELIEF—THEY WILL NOT INSIST OK ANT PARTICULAR PLAN—THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE B. AXD 0. DEPOT. A citizen interested in northeast property, speaking of the action of Citizen's association No. 8 Monday night in deciding to petition Congress for some action to relieve that sec- tion of the disadvantages it suffers on account of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks, said to h Stan reporter: “The action of this meet- ing is in the line of good sense, and the peti- tion there adopted will reveive the signatures of nine-tenths of every person in any way in- terested in that section. The entire and ex- clusive control of the subject is in the hands of One of the most effective argu- ments made by those who have been opposed to any settlement has been that the people of the northeast could not agree upon any plan, and that they would much prefer to have the railroads remain as they are to having them take any one of a dozen streets. This impression has been indus- triously circulated by the attorneys and other paid fepresentatives of the Pennsylvania system, which has greatly profited by the do- nothing policy of Congress, The members of the present Congress have been made familiar with the at —— under which the eastern and southern sections have been for years and are still laboring from the nuisance of surface steam railroad tracks, and I believe that a large majority would, if the opportunity were given, vote for any settlement the proper committees might re) favorably upon. There are a number of persons prominent in the eastern section who have on all occasions ventilated their objection to every form of set- tlement that has been offered, but the objec- tions of wine ceperee go so far as their indi- vidual property interests relate, and no farther, and any sensible member of Congress in vot- ing upon this will justly weigh. these various objections and give them their full value. To many the round-about route for the Baltimore and Ohio has many objections, such as the additional time reqquired make the circuit, while to many others the sole objec- tion to any tunnel whatsoever is that it may possibly come within fifty feet of their prop- | erty, but that it would be all right—a porfect blessing—if it were to go down some other fellow’s street. And it would be very amusing if some of these philanthropic objectors were to be put upon the witness’ stand and have the real grounds of their ——— to this or that method of settlement developed. THE POINT NOW RAISED, “But the tunnel or round-about settlement,” he continued, “‘is not the subject the people of northeast Washington are now discussing, and I am one of those who think that the Baltimore and Ohio people are wise enough to have come to the conclusion to drop the subject, at least for the present. The people and public of Washington need to have the Baltimore and Ohio system given the opportunity to compete in South Washington on equal terms with the aie ipa system more than the Baltimore and Ohio people needs the additional traffic. The Washington public hailed the advent of the Pennsylvania system ‘as a great deliver- ance from the arrogance and extortions of the Baltimore and Ohio; but like the frogs in the fable the people will find that the Pennsylva- nia company can and will play stork as well as any other corporation if given the opportunity. Itis to the interest of Washington city asa whole that both railroads should enter South Washington on equal terms, with equal and abundant track facilities, so that the enormous crowds that have occasionally in the past come here and will more frequently in the future can be easily, quickly and safely handled, and in this way the great objection of thousands upon thousands of those who would otherwise | come here be removed. A SUGGESTED PLAN FOR RELIEF. “As to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,” the citizen went on, ‘the people of the northeast think they see in the request for a permit to improve the station at New Jersey avenue and C street a small ray of daylight, an indication that the managers are be; ing to settle upon some definite policy for the future. They would make a mistake were they to vacate this depot. It is much more central and convenient for many people than a station in South Wash- ington would be. If in connection with this im- rovement this company would ask permission ‘or a system of overhead tracks reese yin lst street from the Boundary the joy of the people of the northeast and by right ‘every one inter- ested in the welfare and improvement of Wash- ington would be complete. At the Boundary another passenger station has, I believe, been planned, and quick access to this can be had over the new electric railway. + COMING INTO THE CITY. “From this boundary station a clerk inany of the up-town departments can reach his desk more quickly than from the one near the cap- itol, and twenty minutes sooner than if by tunnel or roundabout he were to get off at any roposed station in South Washington, The Itimore and Ohio company could at small expense divert the tracks of the main stem near Ivy City and connect with this system of double ‘tracks overhead, and asa result the main stem tracks in East Washington, which have always been and always will be an in- famous disgrace to en city and to any rail- road corporation, can ajl be removed and these streets opened to use and improvement, either of whic! now absolutely impossible. The appreciation in value of the ground owned by the Baltimore and Ohio that would be ox upon the market weal gy ae to pay for the whole of this expense. enever such an overhead system of tracks is publicly decided upon ground in the northeast, now offered freely at 15 cents a foot, will be worth 50, and ail others in the same proportion. At once street-car lines could be planned for that section,now im- possible; sewer and street improvements car- ried on, and the millenium begun. From the foot of the capitol (eye-sores to every eam | will be removed the great lumber yards an flour and other warehouses, the owners of which have all these years been patiently wait- ing to purchase sites from which they will not be removed,and upon which they can build such buildings and make such other improvements as their business demands. This they cannot do so long as the matter remains open as at present. Masonic Elections. Federal Lodge, No. 1, F. A. A. M., last even- ing elected officers for the ensuing year as follows: G. Z.

Aitcheson C Momo, Gee cently raised by Messrs. Simon Wolf and W. they revorsed their order in several cases, The case which ‘called out the opinion was that Herman Edel, to whom license was refused be- cause he was convicted of selling on Sunday in May last. Mr. Davis’ opinion holds at regulations issued by the - missioners in September could not be made to apply to occurrences prior to Septem- ber and related only to the ensuing license ear, The opinion says: The offense of Mr. | del, namely, his having been guilty of selling | on Sunday in May, 1833, was committed during | | the license year ending October 31 of that year | and long anterior to the promulgation of the regulation now in force. Under the regula- tions as they existed at the time of his offense a single conviction of selling on Sunday would not, unless the fine therefor remained unpaid, have subjected the offender to the liability of having his license refused for the succeeding year. This regulation in effect gave notice to every retail liquor dealer that he might, with impanity, once violate the law against selling on Sunday, provided that he should pay the fine for so doing; and Iam clear that it would be unjust, if not unlawful, afterwards to pre- scribe that the very offense thus in effect con- nived at by the District, should operate to de- rive the offender of his business. I am, nest deg of opinion that the application for reconsideration should be granted, and that unless the case presents other considerations rendering contrary action proper, the license should be granted.

ASEH EEEE Nature Untashionable. From the Hartiord Times, Many society Women just returned from Eng- land are using powder and paint on their faces. Cosmetics have ‘been very little used among | the best people for the past few yvars, asevery- one know Ladies were not ashamed to be seen Wi Jean faces,” but it would appear that rot dcream balm and chalky powder are all coming back again, It is weil known that the charming princess of Wales cnipioys @ professional “make-up,” aud that ber face, wd shoulders ure carefully dune over each day. This is the only grievance the Eng- lish people bave against tueir beloved prin- cess. Perhaps our returning American prin- cesses are under the impression that the cout queen of Engiand can do nothing wrong, au so they imitate her. The appearance of the wrinkled-up oid women who were belles forty years ago, and who used cosmetics most freely, hould be a warning tw those just beginning to ‘touch up.” eee eee Diphtheria Spread by Cats. Science. Domestic animals have often not only been suspected but found guilty of spreading infec- tion. In his report on the recent sustained prevalence of diphtheria in Enfield, England, Dr. Brace Low, of the medical department of | the local government board, incidentally states that during the continuance of the epidemic cats were observed to suffer in considerable numbers from illness; and in December, 1887, , and in January, 1558, there was a large mor- tality among those animals—so much #o that | the attention of the dust-contractor was di- rected to it. He stated that never in his pre- vious experience had he seen #0 mi cats in the dust heaps, Some houschoi ing their cats ill, destroyed them. there were no known cases of dipht ring in the practice of the veterinary su: at Enfield, yet they saw many cases o fluenza” at this time among animals, The following is an illustration of the possible con- nection between diphtheria in children and im cats: A little boy was taken ill with what turned out ultimately to be fatal diptheria. On the first day of his illness the cat, which was in the room ai the time, licked the vomit on the door, In a few days (the child meanwhile hav- ing died) animal was noticed to be ill, and, her sufferings being so severe and so similar to those of the dead boy, the owner destroyed her. During the early part of its illness this cat had been let out nights in the back yard,as usual. A few days later the cat of a neighbor, who lived a few doors farther off, was noticed to be ill. also been out in the back yards at night, The second animal, which, however, recovered, was the pet and playfeliow of four little girls, who, grieved at the illness of their favorite, nursed it with great care. All four girls developed diphtheria, the mother being convinced that they got it from the cat; and, indeed, no other source of contact with infection could be dis- covered. It is easy to imagine cats catching infectious diseases like diphtheria, when we remember how often milk and other unused food from the sick-room is given to the cat, or by some people thrown out in the back yard for the benefit of their neighbors’ cats if they have none of their own. It is a frequent occurrence to see children carrying cate in their arms, and even kissing them. It is obvious that, if the cats were ill with diphtheria, the children, under such circumstances, wo almost inevitably contract the disease, oo Rather a Heroic Course. From the Boston Post. I heard the other day an authentic story of something that happened here in Boston, which recalls an incident in one of Balsac’s novels and tends to support the old saying about truth and fiction. It seems that the wife of a young mam who has a little house of his own somewhere in the outlying districts, but whose salary is very small, fell ill, and was unable to leave her room for several months. The doctor, as often happens, Prescribed ‘@ great many remedies, tonics, and bever: such as Apollinaris water and champagne, which, being very expensive, were far beyond the young husband's means, What could be done? He was bound that his wife should have everything which the doctor ordered, and his purse having been emptied, he stole out one evening with the parlor clock is arm and returned with a #5 bill. A for a few bottles of port wine, and, to cut the story short, by the time the young woman was able to Wn stairs, the rooms on the first floor haa been stripped of their contents to pay the grocer and the upothecary, It must have been a bitter moment for the young Wife when the first saw what havoe been wrought in her drawing-room, and I dare say that for afew minutes at least her — man felt that he had been too clever by half. Itmust be acknowledged, however, that he acted pretty wisely. Health’ is more im- nt than furniture, and in time the bouse- treatment at transplanting.
