Miss Mary Scott and Miss Fannie Gra- hem of Washington have been the guests of Mrs. M. M. Little. Arrangements have been finally completed for a crossing and cennection between the Kensington electric road and that-of the Capital Traction Company at Chevy Chase power house. The cost, owirg to the heavy forgings at the crossing of the Baltimore | and Ohio tracks, will be about $690. Not orly will this obviate the unpleasant walk | at the trans¢er,kut it will reduce the running j time so as to enable passengers from the Baltimore and Ohio local trains down to take the electric cars in time to reach the city before business hours. Arrangemei are on foot looking to the adoptioa of a 5-cent fare for transients from Kensing- ton to Chevy Chase cireie, thus making a 10-cent fare to any part of the city. In that event each alternate car on the Chevy Chase line will be made a through car to Kens ngton, giving a twenty-minute service at all hours of the day, except during busy hours and emergencies, when the service will be doubled. The unexampled succ23s of the Kensington braach shows that this tegion is destined to become a feeder for suburban lines such as wiil warrant the most liberal treatment in the way of fa- cilities.

District and Metropolitan railways keep mostly to the north side of the Thames. But South London has its electric under- ground, the only one of the kind, I believe, in existence, though there are electric trains almost everywhere now, except in: London, and probably Liverpool is not alone in its electric elevated. I myself Fave never had occasion to use it, but cu- riosity led me once to make a journey along its entire length.. The trip is made in a quarter of an hour, and trains run every three minutes. I be- lieve as yet there are but ten trains in all, but as each makes the round trip in half an hour, a larger number could hardly be maraged. The journey for the unaccvis- tomed has an element of novelty. You are carried down to the platform and up again to the street level in an elevator. There is no division of classes, and the cars are built somewhat on the model of street cars; three are attached to each en- gine. I found the light—though it may have been a chance that one day—atro- ciously bad, the jolting dreadful, and the stations clean and dull compared to those on the ordinary underground. For, of course, there is no smoke, and the tiled walls are immaculately clean; as up and down lines have each a separate tube or tunnel, there is a platform but to one side, and it is fmade as narrow and contracted as may be; while it is the one place I know where London is as silent as M. Daudet so recently found it. The absence of smoke is an advantage in @ way: The atmosphere may savor of the cellar, but there is no danger of being stifled and suffocated by foul air. London being the most conservative place in the world, naturally the electric railway has not yet achieved so great a popularity as to warrant the creation of rivals. The Londoner must have time to make up his mind about it; he is still in that stage of uncertainty when he will pay his penny or twopence to go below and inspect the plat- form. The wonder really is that this one line happened to be built in the metropolis, which has been most backward in accept- ing the modern applications of electricity. Do not London streets, except here and there, still wait for the electric light? A REVIVAL OF FALCONRY. IMs Cruelty Defended as Being Less Than That Inflicted by Shooting. From the Pall Mall Gazette. Considerit:g the sport obtained during the past autumn, it 1s surprising that falconry is net a much more popular pastime. To some extent, no doubt, expense is in the way, but this need not necessarily be so very large as is often represented. We «now of some scnoolboys who have had very great fun with birds of their own pro- curing, and whose pocket money is ngidly limited. One has a merlin, which has been the death of many larks; another has a sparrow hawk, which has proved the bane of black birds; a third has procured the most beautiful flights of all with a kestral that seems to have quite overcome its native affection for mice, and has taken to flying at all sorts of medium-sized fowl. No doubt the modern humanitarian may object on the ground of cruelty, but the common-sense point of view is in contrast with the gun, which not only is more destructive, but dangerous as well. And hawking never re- sults in the infliction of suffering, an in- fliction incidental to the marksmanship of young gunners. This consideration applies to adult as well as juvenile sportsmen. For instance, com- pare the }ags made even by a most suc- cessful faiconer and a dead shot. With a goshawk Mr. ‘Boynton has killed since the middle cf September 194 rabbits in thirty- four days. What gunner would think of boasting about an average of six per diem? Even his best day—twenty-four in twenty- four flights, though it argues luck and skill far past average attainment—would be a very trivial result of a few hours’ good shootirg. The excellent season’s bag re- corded by Mr. Newall, forty-six hares, three rabbits and six miscellaneous birds, would be trivial for even a weak gun. And every Uife taken with a falcon means far more amusement than is to be derived from mere- ly pulling a trigger. Again, it may be point- ed out that in heron hawking many falcon- ers rescue the bird ere it is injured, and let it go, to enjoy the delight of a hard fight for life. ee His Self-Denial. From the Chicazo Evening Post. The honeymoon was over, and they had settled down to show themselves staid and steady old married people. “Harry,” she said, knitting her pretty brows as if greatly perplexed. “I’ve been trying to arrange things a little system- atically today.” “Quite right,” he replied. “It’s time we were settled and had everything arranged properly.” “Yes, but, Harry, the fact is I-I——’ “You what? Nothing has gone wrong, has it?” he asked anxiously. “Oh, no, but every one was so kind to us that I find it a little hard to—to—. It wouldn’t be proper to sell any of the pres- ents, would it?” “Certainly not.” “That’s what I feared,” she said with a sigh. ‘You see, I don't know just what to do with them all.” “Do with them?” he exclaimed with mas- culine readiness to settle any problem. “Why, use them, of course.” “But how, Harry? How?” she asked. “We have eight clocks and only a seven- room flat.” z He gave a low whistle. “Then we have five dozen silver spoons and four cake baskets.” He began to look perplexed himself. “There are twelve butter knives and six fruit dishes,” she added. He swore softly to himself, but made no suggestion. “We have three sets of fruit knives and—' “Enough,” he exclaimed. please with them. “But, Harry, I want you to—" “They're yours,” he interrupted. were all given to you and not to me, weren’t they? It wouldn’t be fair for me to assume any right to them when they were expressly givon to you.” And thus she first learned of man's abil- ity to dodge a difficult problem. “Do what you “They UNIVERSITY NOTES.

There Are About 80,000 Bohemians, Poles and Slovaks There. From the New York Times. The Slavonian element among the foreign population in this city is not at all incon- siderable, although the, Slavonians, es a rule, are unostentatiowa unassuming and desirous of living in peace with their neigh- bors. There are, it is estimated, nearly ¥J, 000 of them in this city; and of this num- ber about 40,000 are: Bohemians, 20,000 Poles and 15,000 Slovake. There are also Slavonians from Hungary. The number cf Russian Slavonians here is believed to be very limited, although adetter recently was received from Russia stating that the Rus- sian synod had authorized the raising of a subscription to build and maintain a Rus- sian orthodox church in: New. York, and to send a clergyman to take charge of it. Formerly most of:the Bohemians lived on the east side, below 1th street, but they ; moved uptown in theswake of the cheap | cigar manufactories; or, rather, the tene- ment-house factories, in; which they work- ed and lived, were abandoned by the manu- facturers, and new. ones. were started on the east side uptown. Very many of the Bohemians are cigar makers, having learn- ed that trade in Prague and other plazes in the Austrian empire, where the govern- ment has the monopoly of the tobacco trade and industry. : Most of the Bohemians are brown haired and of fair complexion. They are very in- dustrious, and, as a rule, are very honest. They love to dwell near each other, and to speak their native language, and many of the children who have grown up in this city speak both English and Bohemian quite fluently. ‘The great majority of the Bohemians are Roman Catholics. The few Protestants are descendants of the old Hussites, who never embraced Catholicism. They are, however, as a rule, frecthinkers and poor church-goers. Although there are so many of them in New York, they have only cne small church, in East 62d street, which is under the direction of the Redemptorist fathers. ‘The Polish immigration to this city is not nearly as large as it was in former years, and very many of the rising generation have been born in this city, or came here when children with their parents. There is not much to distinguish them from the Bohemians in personal appearance, and two persons, one a Pole and the other a Bohemian, can express their wants to one another by speaking in their respective languages, or rather dialects of the Sla- vonian. The Poles are much better church- men than the Bohemians, and are, as a rule, very devout Catholics. They have a church, that of St. Stanislaus, in Stanton street. The Slovaks are a very industrious por- tion of the community. Generally they are more flourishing than the Bohemians and Poles. Many of them are employed as wire ABOUT CONSISTENCY. A Public Man’s Estimate of Thins . Virtue. From the New York Post When General Cass was Secretary of State under President Buchanan, the writer had charge of that branch of the diplomatic bu- Teau in the Department of State which included our relations with all the govern- ments on this hemisphere. Affairs with Mexico were in a somewhat critical posi- tion, and for several weeks General Cass requested my presence at the department for three or four hours every evening. Our labors were regularly interrupted about 10 o'clock by ‘the appearance of a servant from his house (which is now incorporated with the Arlington Hotel) bearing a tray with tea and sandwiches, whereupon we devoted ourselves for a few minutes to refreshment and gossip. On one of these occasions I said: “Pardon me, general, but I have always thought you were defeated for the presidency by the ap- prehensions of the business interests of the country that you were such an anglo- Phobist that your election would result in a war with Great Britain. Has this idea any foundation?” “T think it has a was his reply. 3 4 “Will you excuse me'again?” I continued. ‘How is it, then, when you were In the Sen- ate your speeches were so frequently bitter toward England, and that since you have been Secretary of State you seem to study to maintain the closest y relations with her?” Re ee “My son,” he sald, “when God gives a man great power for good or ill, He Jmposes upon him an awful responsibility and one that he perhaps never felt before. It is not for me to imperil the peace of two great nations for the sake of being consistent with my speeches as a Senator.” Seg es A Professional. From London Tid-Bits.

Others are mem- bers of the orthodox Greek church. As many of the Slovaks come from Hungary, they established the Church of St. Eliza- beth of Hungary, in East 4th street. They were joined by a large number of the Mag- yar Hungarians, who later became the ma- jority in the church and gradually assumed the control, and managed to have the Slo- vak priest removed and a German priest appointed in his stead. The minority Slo- vak element protested, but without suc- cess. Then they decided to leave the church and to build or purchase another church for themselves in the vicinity. They obtained the consent of the arch- bishop, and negotiations are already being made for the purchase of a site in 4th or Sth street. 20+ The Red Sea Miraele Reproduced in - Oregon. From the Klamath Falls Express. It 1s a well-known fact that at certain times of the year Link: river, a stream a mile and a quarter long, which connects the great water systems above and below this point, becomes almost dry. This state of affairs, however, lasts, a8 a rule, but a few hours, during which time people have been _known to walk across the river, 800 feet wide, without getting their feet wet. The bottom of the river has been dug out in many places by the action of the water, forming large pot holes, and when the river becomes dry these holes are filled with trout, which are left stranded. At such times it {3 a common occurrence to see men and boys knocking the fish on the head with clubs, and in this way they secure many a good meal. There are many traditions regarding this phenomenon among the Indians here, but the real cause of the low water in the river is the action of the wind. The course of the stream is southeast, and the high winds which prevail in the spring and fall are from the south, and blow up the river. The outlet from the upper lake being small, the force of the wind keeps the water back in the big iake, causing the river to become very low. money (of which $500 mi trosteer at time of sale) in one, two aud three years, er centum per hy, tr ith nui from ‘day of sale, secured ‘en the premises, or all cash, at’ purchas- and if terms are rot complied witn in jays from day of sale trustees reserve the right t» resell at risk and ¢ cliser on five days’ notice in The By r newspaper.
