The Columbia and Maryland Railway Company has undertaken the enterprise of constructing an electric railway betweea the cities of Baltimore and Washington, and the road will probably be completed in about ayear. The financial and business manage- ment of the project is under the charge of Mr. W. Kesley Schoepf of Washington, and Mr. 8S. W. Huff is electrical engineer. The company’s offices are located in Baltimore. In many ways the railway, which will be approximately forty miles in length, will be of special interest. In the construction standard steam railway practice is to be followed. About 1,500 men are now at work on the track, which is being constructed at both the Baltimore and Washington ends of the line. The company has had many obstacles to contend with in obtaining rights of way. In the construction of the Hne a number of expensive bridges are to be constructed. When all the preliminary difficulties have been overcome, it is stated that a very large force of men will at once be set to work. Trains of four cars each will be operated, and it is estimated that a loaded train will weigh about fifty tons. The motor-car sys- tem will be adopted, ard specification will call for a speed of sixty miles an hour on the level stretches. The cars are to be built with cross benches and center aisles, and the general arrangement will resemble closely ordinary passenger coaches. It is the purpose of the company to operate both local and express trains, and a very heavy traffic is expected. The voltage to be used in the operation of the line has not yet been decided upon, but is still under consideration by the engineers. As the use of the ordinary 500-volt system will be attended by many drawbacks, a transmission voltage of 1,000 volts has been favored. If the companies which own the patent on the three-wire system are award- ed the contract, that system will doubtless be seriously considered. The officers be- Heve that some radical changes from exist- ing methods of transmission are advisable. Current will be furnished from two power stations, one located at Washington and the other at Baltimore. Each plant will have an aggregate capacity of 4,000 horse power. Specifications for the apparatus and equip- ment will soon be issued. A second electric line, having the same ter- minus and which in a measure will come into competition with that which has just been described, is the Ellicott City electric road, connecting Baltimore and Ellicott. The pro- ject is one that is wholly different from the enterprise of the Columbia and Maryland company, although it has sometimes been confused with the latter. It is stated that this road will be in operation next spring. ——_~+o+—____ HERR LIEBKNECHT SENTENCED. .He Predicted the Triumph of Social- Herr Liebknecht, the socialistic leader and editor, was sentenced yesterday at Breslau, Germany, to four month's imprisonment fgr lese majeste.

A Man Who Has Formed a Useful Partnership With These Insects. From Sclence. A sirup bottler has improved upon the prison lesson of Bruce. He has taken the spider into partnership in the working of one of his most important departmenis. Files, cockroaches and other insects, at- tracted by his sweets, and encouraged by the genial air of his bottling room, used to interfere with his work, get into his bottles, steal his goods and “worry him to death.” He has recruited the spider against his foes and vanquished them. Some 6,000 spiders now make their home cn the ceiling and walls of his bottling depart- ment. Their webs are everywhere and they behave themselves with great intelligence. Said the bottler to an interviewer: “These creatures know more than a great many people. Spiders do not care for sweet things and never drop into my vats or get into my bottles. I never disturb them except to feed them occasionally. They appear to know my call, and will come out and feed from my hand or take a fly from my finger. “They shut themselves up during most cf the winter months in the little nests you sce stuck like daubs of mud about the ceiling. When winter comes I brush away all the webs; they prefer to weave new ones every spring. “Each May they reappear ready to unravel the silken fabric that is stored in their bodies. It is just about then that the flies have hatched their first young. If the spi- ders appeared earlier the crop of flies would soon give out. “I have only been running this spider farm for two years, but I find my little part- ners indispensable; they will not endure in the place a single fly or insect that is a plun- derer of sweets and sirups.” ———_ +e- MAN'S PHYSIOGNOMY. It is Very Rare to Find a Face That is Symmetrical. Fiom the London Daily News. Mr. Phil Morris’ experiences have led him to the conclusion that symmetrical faces are very few and far between. The sides of the average face, he declares, are unequal, and one eye frequently goes up while the other is half closed. Often the nose is not straight, and many people have a habit of looking as if they were asleep. The distinguished Royal Academy asso- ciate has been giving some account of the troubles and vexations which come of por- trait painting. There is a touch of disap- pointment, he says, when folk see their own portraits or those of their friends on canvas for the first time. Once he was en- gaged in painting a lady who had just be- come a grandmother, and he had treated very delicately the ravages which time had made. The lady’s husband brought him another portrait, which had been painted twenty-five years before, and having ex- pressed some slight surprise at the new icture, pointed to the old one and sald, ‘That was how he saw his wife.” Nearly all ladies declare they don’t want to te flattered, but the artist who takes them at their word does so at his peril. According to Mr. Morris, artists who de- vote themselves te portrait painting are influenced not by mere vision, but by a cer- tain preconceived idea as to how they may treat a face. The late Mr. Frank Holl, he says, had a book—Lavater's “Physiogno- my"—containing pictures of human types like hawks, foxes and other creatures, and when he as about to paint a portrait he used to try to find out which one of these animals cr birds the sitter most resembled. For instance, he would enlarge the ears of a fox hunter, and, by acceniuating the fea- tures, paint a most remarkable likeness. It is advisable, in Mr. Morris’ opinion, to let a sitter watch the prog of his por- trait. If this is done the artist can tell by the look of disappointment on the sitter’ face when, in his estimation, ther ar. thing wrong. Moreover, by more Interest is lent to the ta: It appears that one of the re queen allows herself to be painted so often by Herr Angell is that she can see the work in progre Some artists, unlike the Austrian painter, are martyrs to neryous- ness, and decline to allow the sitter to see the portrait before it is completed. of sitting ons the Huyler's Cocoa and Chocolates are unsurpassed for thelr purity and deliciovsness of flavor.

November Weddings and Other Social] and Personal Notes of General and Local Interest. The family of Mr. John W. Ebert, who keeps a German sausage and cheese stand in the Royal street wing of the city market, are very much worried at the disappearance of the husband and father. On last Monday morning Mr. Ebert left his home on North Columbus street for the purpose of going to Baltimore to visit an uncle residing at No. 1808 Landvale street. He was seen to take the 10 o'clock train for Washington, since which time all trace of him has been lost. He has not appeared at his uncle’s house, and none of his friends have seen him since. His wife and children, ten in number, fear that some accident has be- fallen him, and are nearly crazed at his dis- appearance. Their fears are greatly added to by the fact that Mr. Ebert has been in bad health for some time, and is suffering from lung trouble, which forced him to re- sign his place at Portner’s brewery some time ago. Mr. Ebert is a very quiet man, and has many friends, who deeply sympa- thize with his family, and hope that no evil has befallen him. November Weddings. Cards are out for the marriage of Miss Bertha Gibsen, daughter of Mr. George Gibson of Washington, to Mr. James G. Hud- son of this city, the ceremony to take place in Washington on the 27th instant. Miss Weltha Knight, daughter of the late Ferdinand Knight, will be married to Mr. Wm. Schwarzman of this city in Trinity Church by the Rev. W. H. McAllister Thurs- day, November 28. Cards are out for the marriage in the First Baptist Church Tuesday, November 26, by Rev. Mr. Butler of Miss Bffle Cline, daugh- ter of Mr. James Cline, to Mr. Thomas Ballenger. The approaching marriage of Miss Bessie Guy of this city to Mr. William Mankins of the Pennsylvania railroad freight station in Washington has been announced. The cere- mony will take place in this city on the 20th instant. Case Continued. The case of Wm. Deavers, who is charged with stealing leather from a Southern rail- way car in the fall of 1892. was to have been examined by Justice Cotts in West End yes- terday, but in consequence of the indisposi- tion of the justice, he having fallen and bad- ly injured his side, which confined him to his bed, the case was continued until the 25th, and the prisoner released in the sum of $200. Deavers was represented by Mr. L. C. Bar- ley, and the prosecution was conducted by Mr. C. C. Carlin. It will be remembered that Deavers was arrested by Officers Smith and Furgesson of this city, and he was turned over to Fairfax authorities by Mayor Thompscn, as published in The Star at the time. Henry Athletic Club. A fifteen-round sparring contest on its merits between Jimmie Lynch of New York and Jack Daly of Wilmington, Del., will be given at the Henry Athletic Club in this city tonight. Both men are in fine condition, and a good contest is expected. There will be a preliminary bout of six rounds between two local sparrers for points. Lynch has been training hard at the club room for some time and says he is going to win with hands down. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Annie Mason, an old white woman, arrested by Capt. Webster, charged with vagrancy, was sent to the work house for ninety days; Oscar Robin- son, colored, arrested by Officer Bettes, charged with assault and beating Pristella Robinson, colored, fined $7 or thirty days on the gang; Charles F. Green, colored, ar- restéa by Officers Dean and Jones, charged with seducing Estella Lee under promise of marriage, was made to marry her and pay the cost of the warrant. Fire Last Night. There was an alarm of fire last night at 1:40 o'clock, caused by a small blaze in the cellar of the Star Clothing House, H. Fried- lander, proprietor, on King street. The en- tire department responded, and in a few minutes the flames were extinguished, but not before a great deal of damage had been done by water, which damaged the stock. The origin of the fire is unknown. When seen by The Star man this morning, Mr. Friedlander said that he could not as yet say what the damage would amount to; partly insured. Corporation Court. ‘The corporation court, Judge J. K. M. Norton presiding, was engaged all day yes- terday in hearing the chancery case of the Cleveland Iren Shipbuilding Company agt. the Haskins Wood Vulcanizing Company, and the entire day was taken up in hearing the arguments. Faneral of Mrs. Kaus. The funeral of Mrs. Kaus, wife of Coun- cilman Frederick B. Kaus, took place yes- terday evening at 3 o'clock from her late heme on Queen street between Royal and Fairfax. Mr. F. T. Benson, pastor of the Methodist Protestant Church, conducted the funeral services, which were attended by a large number of friends of the deceased. The interment was in Bethel cemetery. Notes. The president of the Occoquan-‘Wood- bridge Telephone Company, Mr. Edward Abner, has written a letter to friends in this city stating that his company had abandoned the idea of conducting an ex- change in this city. Mrs, Mary C. Powell has tendered her resignation as secretary of the Mary Custis Lee Division of the Daughters of the Con- federacy of this cit: Mr. B. B. Isaacs, a brakeman on the Washington Southern railway, had two fins gers mashed off yesterday afternoon in the freight yard of the company in this city. ‘The crossing asked for on Columbus sireet from the west gate of Christ Church to the opposite corner is badly needed, and the city council should have the crossing laid.

Belief in the Evil Eye and Other Su- pernatural Terrors is Strong. Dunkirk Letter to London Dally News. Old beliefs and superstitions, which are gradually disappearing from the more im- portant of French cities, still retain a pow- erful hold on the inhabitants of this part of the country, where successive regimes have implanted a curious mediey of customs and legends. In the villages adjoining Dunkirk, and in the streets adjacent to the harbor, where the sailors and their families reside, supernatural agencies and manifestations are firmly believed in. Certain old women and men are credited with the power of wishing evil to any person who offends them, and should they, with extended finger, touch a human being or an animal, disease or death will of a surety ensue. ‘The counter-charm consists in rapidly pur- suing the worker of the spell, and in plazing a hand on his or her head. A number of these so-called witches are much dreaded, and create quite a reign of terror around themselves. Some are reputed to enjoy the faculty of changing their outward appear. ance at will, and a certain old woman, who died a few years ago, was stated to have ce- casionally transformed herself into a Slack cat. It happens not infrequently that the victim of a spell appeals to the priest, and begs him to intercede. == es A One-Armed Typewriter.
