Washington, June 25, 1910. - . With the departure of Congress,' the President, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps and the fashionable throng that is ever here when Congress is in session, it would be an ex aggeration to say that Washing ton is deserted, for there are Mill here" the government clerks who are the bone and sinew of the Civil Service and whose hands and eyes are so thoroughly edu cated that the routine of govern ment in all its labyrinths is car ried ou by them, even when the heads of departments are absent The shops and eating-houses, hotels and real estate offices are still here, but there is an air of unfrequentedness about them that tells that every one yho can get away has left Washington for the summer. They have not left to find a more comfortable place but because it is the fashion There are few cities more pleasant to live m than is Washington un der recent improvements. The swamps of the Potomac which once surrounded the city have to a great extent been transformed into beautiful parks. The streets for breadth, smoothness and shadiness are unsurpassed by any City in the country. Horses as a means of pleasure transportation have been to a larger extent ban ished by the Automobile than in any other city, and thousands of these most modern vehicles may be seen from four to ten o clock in Potomac Park, Rock Creek Park and Soldiers' Home, carry ing loads of pleasure-seekers bey ond, the bounds of the hotter city and bringing them home re freshed for sleep. Excursion boats are every afternoon and evening loaded with people who go -to -the Potomac resorts at Marshall Hall, River View and Colonial Beach. Those who do not care to tiav 25c for a round jt ' i trip embracing a ride of thirty-two miles on the cool river and amid beautiful scenery, can for 5c be transported to Glen Echo, Cabin John's Bridge, Chevy Chase Lake and other electric-car accessible places beyond the cit limits. It is well known that the work of seeking recreation is much more toilsome than the regular work in which the majority spend their" lives, but notwithstanding the constant demonstration of this fact, it -is never admitted, and those who enjoy the superior com forts of staying at home will always envy the others who en dure the hardships of travel and of seeking alleged pleasure in ituffy hotels and boarding-houses at "resorts." 1 The capital will not again know the President and his entourage until : probably the middle of October. Great improvements were planned and appropriated for in ; Washington by the last Congress. Thj beautiful Lnion Station which has just been finish ed and'which faces the Capitol over a plaza of ten or fifteen acres in to be farther improved at a cost of three and one-half millions of dollars by the purchase of blocks of r.hean houses lying between the Capitol and this station, and in terfering with the view Dotn iroro the Capitol and the station. When these houses are raxed and remov ed there will be beautiful strip ol narV between the Capitol and the station, and the visitor arriving in Washington and passing tnougn rti maimiflcant railway station will get a first sight of the capi tal from this grand park: aispuiy- inir th facade and dome or me Capitol of the United Stated with the offices of the Senate ana uwuw f Rjmnuientatives and the li brary of Congress grouped about it. Other Improvements are pan ned In the building of three gov ..nt dunartnwnt buildings, the Department of Commerce and- Labor, and the Uepamnena Tn.;rn The next generation win sjee a transfigured Washington. It has long been tne ignoran i,.t it i the most beauti- falcitT in the world, but there eaa be no doubt that it ta yearly growing more beautiful and it is possible that in time it may out atrip other capitals in splendor of architecture and statuesque orna mentation. The lart census shows that the eity basin tie past" , -a ia 42.000 to its popula tion. This is smaller number than amMtious residents had ex pected, but it may be noted that during the last ten years electric car transportation has penetrated the country in all directions and that there are outlying towns like Chevy Chase, Forest Glen, Wood side, Silver Springs, Kensington, Hyattsvillo and other towns that have drawn from the population of Washington, but whose inhab itants have offices and business here and who are really tributary to the capital city. Wealth of the Negroes. Salisbury Post. The negroes of the U. S. have made great progress, when their once moneyless condition is con sidered, in material things within the past ten years. The American Economic Association estimates the value of property owned by negroes in 1900 at $300,000,000 and the New York Worl'i thinks the census this year will show that this has been increased by $200, 000,000. The Knoxville Sentinel says that in 1900 Georgia negroes had assessed property to the amoust of $14,118,720. This had grown to $27,042,072, a gain of 91 per cent., by 1908. In Va. there has been an increase from $15,856,570 to $25,828,330, or a gain of 02 per cent. In North Carolina there was a gain of 123 percent, or from $8,478,399 to $21,253,581. The negro is learn ing the lesson that if he would accumulate he must be both thrifty and saving. The honest, industrious negro has the friendship of the Southern whites, who will continue to give him the helping hand and encour age him in his purpose to better his condition. That he has ac cumulated so much is as gratify ing as it is surprising. Those Plea of Boyhood. How delicious were the pies of boyhood.

Judson Harmon today was re nominated for Governor on the Democratic ticket by acclamation. The following resolution, pre sented bythe committee on reso lutions, was adopted. by the con- fvention, endorsing Governor Har mon for the presidency of 1912: "We invite the attention of the nation to Judson Harmon and the work he is doing for Ohio. -Two years hence it will have been com pleted, then we can spare him for larger duties, ne beMeves that guilt is personal, is acting on that belief at home and would act upon it in larger fields. A high sense of duty provides his only motive for official action and his sense of justice alone compels judgment. Firmness and strength mark him the man to supplant vacillation and weakness. The nation needs a real man and the Ohio Democracy here presents and endorses for the President, in 1912, Judson Harmon." Work 24 Hours a Day.

In about 1833 tbe finished statue ar rived at the customs bouse In London, but to the astonishment of tbe sub scribers the dean of Westminster, Dr. Ireland, declined to give permission to have It set up In tbe abbey, and owing to this difficulty, which proved insur mountable, for Dr. Ireland's successor was of tbe same opinion, It remained for upward of twelve years In tbe cus toms bouse, when (1846) it was re moved to 'tbe library of Trinity col lege, Cambridge. - .

They were descending a road when one of them chanced to remurk tbat he was hungry, and the English "sahib" bought blm some food at a wayside shop. Tbe Kaffir saw the money change bands.

"Where Three Empires Meet" Literary Ceneorehlp In Ruaala. In an article on tbe literary censor ship In Russia a writer. In the Frank furter Zeitnng says tbat some of tbe queer example of this work on tbe part of tbe czar's government are worthy of note. In a poem tbe line "Under strange skies we may be hap py" was canceled, with tbe remark tbat "no sky can be more conducive to happiness than tbat which spreads over Bnssla." A biography of Bums rokow mention tbe novel "Korew" as bis first "creation." ' Tbe sentence was blotted out because "God alone cre ates. Man may write, work, compose, etc, but he does not 'create.' " When tbe names of the gods of Greek my thology are written capital letters most not be used "except In tbe case of Mara. Our gracious czar bas bad so many war that he owes Mars tbls compliment" A poem was suppressed because It contained the line, "To sol itude devoted. 1 despise tbe world."

The choir began the hymn. When they came to the line, "Neither are they afraid," the composer of the music had no written it that it had to be repeated first by the soprano, then by th alto and finally by the bass. The soprano seemed to be f ' conservative taste and sang the line, "Nee-ther are they afraid." Ap parently the alto had departed from the usage of her forefathers, for when she brought out the words they became "Ni-ther are they afraid," and it became a serious question which side the bass would take. - Tbe bass was an Irishman. Out rolled his rich voice, "Nay-ther are they afraid." So the quest-on of usage still re mained uuser.led. London Stand ard. - ' The Rcots ef Altruism.
