WORK HARD DESPITE SPEAKS CANNON Advocates of Beautiful Washington Not Frightened By His Figures. CONGRESS DELAYS MATTER FRIENDS OF PLAN TO MAKE NAT10NAL CAPITAL ONE OF THE : MOST BEAUTIFUL CITIES IN WORLD WOULD ISSUE BONDS. Washington, Aug. 29. There has been much interest lately In a discus sion of the proposition that the gov ernment Issue bonds to raise money for the beautification of Washington. Friends of the project, and It has some very able and earnest ones, in one fell swoop,' would make the American capital the most beautiful city in the world. They are impatient with the progress which congress has made in that direction. The argument is that as it is planned to build for posterity, posterity should pay the bills. The further argument is advanced that by building piecemeal no comprehensive plan can be followed In view of the fact that much of the building done during the past century has been without plan. Once started on a general plan, such as that proposed several years ago by the Senate's park commission, all future improvement could be In harmony with ML When the park commission's plan for a Greater Washington was submitted It was scoffed at by Speaker Cannon and some of the other leaders in congress. Cannon, then chairman of the appropriations committee, declared It would cost a billion dollars. This figure was thought to be sufficient to damn the project for all time. But a billion dollars doesn't stagger the present earnest advocates of a more beautiful capital. In fact, a billion dollars is close to the amount of money they have in mind. They want congress to pass a law authorizing the issue of a billion dollars worth of Washington Improvement bonds and providing for a commission of which the president of the United States should be the head, to oversee its expenditure. They qo not want all the bonds Issued at once, of course, as that would call for the payment of millions in interest before there was any use for the principal; but tney want congress committed to the entire project and the matter of money so arranged

... TO THE CITIZENS OF IRIdHUVEOMO ... The Committee in charge takes this means of official notification of the FALL FESTIVAL. The Festival will be held on the 6th, 7th and 8th of October, lasting three days, devoting the first day to Agricultural displays, live stock shows and other attractions which the Farmers of Wayne and adjoining Counties arrange to exhibit. The second day will be Industrial day, which will consist of the exhibitions of products and wares of the manufacturers and merchants of the city and adjoining towns, and many other attractions that are particularly characteristic of Richmond. The third day will be devoted to military displays, band concerts and maneuvers by the Tenth Regiment of the U. S. Army now stationed at Ft. Benj. Harrison. The Regiment of soldiers will be in the city at least two days, which attraction alone will be one of the greatest the city has ever had. The entire program for the Festival is not complete as new features and attractions are being added from day to day. The Advertising Committee has outlined an extensive campaign of advertising, within a radius of 30 miles, which should be the means of bringing from 15,000 to 25,000 visitors during the Festival. The Festival should be made the most important event in the history of the city and to accomplish the end most successfully, every citizen should join in the work and help extend a hearty welcome to the visitors, demonstrating that RICHMOND is a desirable place to come to make purchases and show them that it is the best city in the West to locate in. The Festival will represent the expenditure of some money, which money will be spent as judiciously as possible to get the best results. The Finance Committee will have entire charge of raising funds to carry on the Festival and for the entertainment of the visitors. The members are men who must necessarily leave their business to work for this cause, and it is therefore' essential that when the sub-committee assigned to your district calls upon you, that you be ready to state what amount per day you are willing to contribute toward the edification and advertisement of our City.

that it will only be necessary for the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds when more is needed. It is estimated that it would, take twenty-five years to use a billion dollars intelligently in improvements, and it is proposed that the bonds should run from 50 to 75 years. As a matter of course, the main thing the advocates of this plan have in view is the beautification of the capital, but their ideas do not lack a practical side. The executive departments of the government fere in pressing need of more room, and it would require probably twenty-five million dollars to supply their Immediate wants. Prospect of a treasury deficit has kept congress from making appropriations for new buildings, even though it has been shown that the saving in rent would pay the interest on the investment. When structures like the new agricultural building, the new national museum or the new house and senate office buildings are erected, they are built to stand for centuries. Yet these buildings are being paid for out of the current funds of the government, whereas the next generation or the generation beyond that, will be infinitely better able to pay for them. The gross income of the government exclusive of postal revenues, for the fiscal year ended June 30 last was $601,126,118.53. The gross income of the government fifty years ago, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1S58, was $46,655,365.96. Here is found the argument of those who believe posterity should pay for making the National Capital beautiful and for the erection of buildings to be used by posterity. The income of the government has multiplied about fifteen times in the past half century, and America is but on the threshold of its development. Even if it mutiplies but five times in the next fifty years, there would be an annual income in the neighborhood of three billion dollars. It Is true, of course, that expenditures increase with income; but there will be no disputing the point that a man with an income of $5,000 a year is much better able to pay off a debt of $1,000 than is the man whose income is only $1,000. During the past fifty years Washington has been converted from a straggling, uncouth town to the most beautiful city on the Western Hemisphere and the bills have been paid as they were contracted. The same policy could be followed and the city made still more beautiful in the next fifty years, but it would not be possible to follow a uniform program of beautification. It goes without saying that Congress is not going to authorize a billion dollar bond issue until there is a very healthy public opinion throughout the country demanding it. It would appear, therefore, that the projectors of the Bcheme have got to carry on a campaign of education. This may not be so hopeless as would at first appear. The past generation has seen a great change in sentiment with respect to

zc 3E Washington and there is now a lot of national pride in the Capital. It is not so many years ago that the project of moving the seat of government farther west was seriously discussed. No one dreams of such a thing today. Each year sees an Increasing number of visitors to Washington, and there is almost unanimity among these visitors that the Capital should be made the world's most beautiful city. WHO WILL WIN?

The players In talking over the result said it was the hottest series of games that has been played in Richmond, for many a day. It is probable that "the Richmond team will go to Straughn In the near future fpr a return game. Winchester Wins. Dublin, Ind., Aug. 29.

THE OCEAN DERELICT. It la the Moat Patent of All Dafri Tbat Threaten Seafarern. Of all the spectacles of the seas none is so tragic as the derelict, the errant of the trnckless deep. Weird beyond description is the picture presented by some broken and battered hulk as she swings into view against the sky line, with the turgid green seas sweeping over her moss grown decks and a splintered fragment of mast pointing upward, as if In protest against her undoing. It Is a sight also to arouse fear. For the derelict is the most potent of all the dangers that threaten the seafarer. Silent, stealthy. Invisible, it Is the terror of the mariner. It Is the arch hypocrite of the deep. Against It skill of seamanship, vigilance In watching, avail not. Lights and whistles, beams and buoys proclaim the proximity of land; the throbbing of engines, the noises of itiipboard life tell of an approaching vessel; icebergs and floes betray themselves by their ghostly radiance and surrounding frigidity of air. but the derelict gives no warning, makes no signal. The first sign of its existence is the crash, the sickening tremble and quaver of the ship suddenly wounded to death. P. T. McGrath in McCIure's. Roae Cuttlnara. Country Life advises taking cuttings of roses In the fall and says: They should be about eight inches long and covered with sand about a foot deep through the winter. In the spring set in rows in good garden soil, upright Trim to six inches tn setting out. They will take root and can then be transplanted into nursery beds. This is for outdoor culture. The cuttings should be taken just before frost arrlTes and from nearly matured wood. Idleneaa. It is an undoubted truth that the less one has to do the less one finds time to do it in. One yawns, one procrastinates, one can do It when one will, and therefore one seldom does It at all. whereas those who have a great deal of business must buckle to it. and then they always find time enough to do it In.
