6 NORTHEAST WASHINGTO! A Meeting of Citizens in Reference to District Commissionership. BAST WASHINGTON WANTS A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD—MR. SILAS C. CLARK THE CHOICE OF TRE MEETING—MR. DODGE AND MR. THOMAS ‘W. SMITH NOT CANDIDATES. Polities and parliamentary practice were well imtermingled at the large meeting of the North- east Washington Citizens’ association held last night at the Peabody school. Mr. W. C.Dodge psesided. The whole meeting progressed upon the fundamental idea that East Washington is entitled to representation. MR. W. C. DODGE NOT A CANDIDATE. The first choice of the meeting seemed to be Mr. Dodge, and Judge Barton made the first move in the game by placing his name in nomi- nation. This called forth a declination from that gentleman, who said that he was not a candi » having something else in view, a| place which he thought he was better qualified to fill. Then a gentleman named Gerouard, who | said that he wished. for the sake of his own fluency, that the rest of the audience were | French, declared that Mr. George Francis Dawson, the’candidate presented by the south- | east people, was not interested in the northeast section, according to his own declaration, made several months ago to him, the speaker. Mr. Gerouard NOMINATED MR. LORING CHAPPEL. Finally an effort was made to postpone ac- tion, and a motion was put forth to appoint a committee of five to confer with like com- | ‘ittee from the southeast to agree. if possible, | m one candidate for Commissionership. | Then Mr. Barton, as the advocate of iminediate and decisive action, moved to amend by in- structing the committee to endeavor to secure the joint selection of either Mr. Dodge or Mr. Thomas W. Smith. MR. SMITH DECLINES. | The latter thereupon followed suit with Mr. | Dodge and declined the honor. The amend- ment was not adopted, and the motion to ap- | int a conference committee was laid on the ible. The nomination of a candidate seemed inevitable and several names were rapidiy | placed before the meeting. : are! Mr. Dodge presented that of Silas C. Clarx; | Mr. Gerouard that of Chas.

THE NOMINATION OF MR. CLARK MADE UNANIMOUS. | Mr. Clark’s nomination was made unanimous, and he expressed his extreme gratitude for the | compliment. His life, he said, was elmost | done, but aa long as he is spared he shall ever be devoted to the interests of East Washing- ton, the most beautiful section of the city. It was then decided to xppoint a committee of twelve to present Mr. Clark’s name to Presi- dent Harrison and urge his appointment in case of the failure of Commissioner Webb to Secure a confirmation. Before the selection of the committee had | been accomplished, however, a motion was car- | ried to postpone the presentation of the name | of the candidate, and the association adjourned until next Thursday night. gs it so The Painters’ Convention.

Theywill not wait until the train arrives here before they begin operations. They can work acrowded train to as good advantage as they can a street car, because if they secure a watch valuable enough to warrant an additional expenditure for their trip they can stop off at the first town and dis- ose of it to some member of the “fraternity.” f, on the other hand. it is not of enough value to warrant sucii action, it can easily be thrown from the car window.

The Citizens of South Washington En- ter Upon a Legal Railroad Warfare. The railroad problem, as it is presented to the residents of South Washington, was consid- ered at a meeting last evening of sociation, No. 1, at Potomac hall. dent, J. H. Jobnson, presided.

The delegates to the central com- | mittee were instructed to support this proposi- tion and none other. On motion of H. K. Gray, a committee of | three, including the president of the associa- tion, was appointed to act in conjunction with a like committee to be appointed by the South Washington Protective association. On motion of O. T. Thompson, 2 committee of two for each day in the month of March, be- ginning with the 6th, was appointed to watch the unlawful obstructions of the streets by the railroads, and report the facts on oath to the district attorney and urge prosecution in each case, ney Riddle’s letter concerning shington railroad agitation was read. Dr. Charles Allen thought it at last showed an improvement in spirit, and while he regretted some of its inaccuracies, he thought very favorably of it. He thought the citizens couid and should furnish abundant evidence of the obstruction of the streets on which to base ‘tion of the railroad: W. H. Shea recailed tat anearly stage nm Commissioner Wheatley had informéd him that the railroads were liable to | prosecution for allowing their cars to stand in the streets longer than a specified time, thereby forming a dangerous obstruction. — Why He Broke the Engagement. From the Chicago Tribune. The North Side romance of Mr. Bebber, the shoe clerk, and Miss Tempie, which began with the fitting of a shoe and ended in a runaway match to California, bade fair to have its counterpart on the South Side. A Wabash shoe clerk, who is one of the elite of his pro- fession, and a Rhodes avenue girl had advanced through the initial stages of courtship to an engagement, | Yes v, while down town, she dropped | into tht shoe store. The entrance of a cus- tomer a few minutes later drew the clerk from her side, and she amused herself by looking over some new samples of evening slippers. “I called only to see you,” she said on his re- turn, “but now that I have seen them I must ”* tapping with her fingers the dain- have these. ties, No. 23¢ “Let's see if they'll fit,” he said, though he knew they would. She had not come prepared to expose her foot for a fit, but there was no reasonable ex- cuse for refusing, and she submitted with a de- murring little smile. Ont of its shoe came the shapely right foot, eased in a black silk hose. She set it down at once on the white rug, but the quick move- ment was lost at the moment on the lover in his admiration of the arched instep outlined on the favorable background. The fitting began. ‘Ihere were somewhat ner- yous yet becoming blushes on her part and de- lays on his. Presentiy he drew his hand sharply from the bottom of her foot. A drop of blood welled from the tip of his second finger. The awful truth was revealed to him. Without look- ing up he quickly finished the fitting, boxed the slippers, and was relieved by the advent of several customers.

From the Baltimore News. “I firmly believe that the best material in the city churches—and by this I mean the con- gregations of course—is obtained from the churches and chapels of our country towns,” said a prominent clergyman from one of the counties. -‘As soon as the young men reared in the country, who, as a rule, I believe, make much better church members than young men brought up in the city, as soon, I say, es they | have made enough money and have arrived at an age when they can take care of themselves, they desert the country for the city, and when they have joined some city church, which gen- erally follows soon after their arrival, no work is too hard, nor any sxcritice too great in behalf of their newly adopted spiritual home. ‘They do more for itin a month than they did for their country church in a year. Then, too, tuey have less of those newfangled notions and ideas which make the young city man skeptical “I feel very sure that if the city ministers! were asked the significant question, ‘Where does the best new material in your congrega- tion come from?’ they, in nine out of ten cases, would answer: ‘From’ the country.’ Take the wealthy and most active members of the best city churches, and you will tind that many of them lived their early life in the country. ‘This is the reason why the country churches progress so slowly in membership ind wealth, When asked about my church in this connee- tion I always repiy: “The old foiks go to heaven and the young people to the city,’ But all 1 can say it is hard on the country churches and their pastors.” co. — — 200.

Leaders in religious enterprises, as well as politicians, are open to the suspicion | of waiting for an issue to become popular be- | fore adopting it. The hesitation of the church at the present juncture may, possibly, be owing to the fear that an impartial investigation of present vital questions in the light of the Word of God might result ina struggle that would, while advancing righteousness, involve the loss of the sympathy and adherance of the “better classes.” The time was, when in our land there | was no recognized antagomsm between the working classes and the churches. It is a new [seme in our civilization. The cause should easily discovered by unclouded eyes. Fifty ee ago aristocratic D ag ecotor pr were jooked upon as vagaries and treated with con- | tempt. In the churches people felt nothing of the chill of caste. A glance at the centers of population must convince us that now all is changed. ‘There is an evident rivalry in the erection of splendid edifices and in the social and oratorical qualifications of the ministry. The poverty of the workingman’s home is accentuated by comparison with the richness of the sanctuary. The chief seats are vivid with purple and fine linen.

The great human heart of the people comprehends in some measure the fact that Christianity is not a cement to hold a rich veneer to a body of inferior materials, but a furnace to fuse all elements into one homo- genous mass, Under present conditions it is sheer folly to talk about the rich and the poor meeting together in the house of God; the poor decline the invitation, intro Citizen Gann Reforms, From the Montgomery Advertiser. Citizen Gann, of Athens, Ga., the head of one of the leading firms there, recently gave a re- porter a brief history of a life remarkable in some respect ‘Forty yearsago this last Christ- mas,” said Mr, Gann, “I got ona spree. I de- cided it should be my last and it was. ButI didn’t quit drinking. One d: in the June foliowing, I went into a bar-room.

My horse was stan about twenty steps from the door, and between the bar-room and horse I made a resolve to never drink another drop. I got on my horse, came on by where my sweetheart lived, stole her, came on toward Athens, married her at a small church near Brinceton, spent my re- maining $15 for some clothes for her, for the old folks would not let her have anything, and commenced life without anything. We both went to work with the intention to have some of the world’s goods, and every Christmas found us with more and more. I chewed to- bacco twenty years and one morning laid a pi on the mantel with the determination to quit, and for over thirty years have never tasted the stuff. I never bought a cigar in my life and never played a game of cards in my life. Twelve years ago I quit cursing. I was most profane. and one night my wife told me I ought to quit it. Itold her not to say another word about it, and from that day to this an oath has never passed my lips.” +: eS, Is Chamberiain Coming Round? HE INVITES THE GLADSTONIANS TO DISCLOSE THEIR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. The belief which has been growing in London during the last few days that Mr. Chamberlain was inclining toward a reconciliation with the Gladstonians was further strengthened by the Birmingham statesman’s speech in the house of commons yesterday. In the speech Mr. Chamberlain said the speakers of the opposi- tion had made the debate sterile by avoiding the m ue.

The chairman requested that the remark be withdrawn, and Mr. Dilion complied, Mr. Russell aiso disclaim- ing any personal reference to Mr. Dillon. A little later a squabble between Mr. Thos.

Tampa, Fla. Special to the Herald. A license has been issued by the judge of probate of Hillsborough county for the mar- riage of George William Sutherland Leveson- | Gower, widower, otherwise the Duke of Suther- land, and Mary Caroline Blair, widow. The duke has been here for two months past, living quietely on some property which he has acquired and devoting most of his time to hunt- ing, shooting and fishing. The smail but com- comfortable house on his place has been honored since his arrival here with the presence of a handsome woman, known as Mrs, Blair, who has shared in his sports and pastimes, and who was nore or less of an enigma to the natives. Was she maid, wife, widow or prospective bride. This doubt seems to be solved to-day by th announcement that the lady in question is about to become the Duchess of Sutherland. Poetic as well as retributive justice is ey satisfied by this match, since Mrs. Blair is the widow of a dependent of the duke, whom he accidentally shot and kilied while on a hunting expedition. THE FORMER DUCHESS, The duke became a widower only last No- vember by the sudden death of his wife at Stafford House from a cold contracted in seeing the duke off for America, Her maiden name was Anna McKenzie, the only child of Mr. J. Hay McKenzie, of Cromartie, Scotland. Five children were issue of the’ marriage—Lord Gower, who died in early youth; the Marquis of Stafford, Lord Tarbat, any Florence, who became the wife of the Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, M. P., and who died in 1881, and Lady Alexandra, still unmarried, She was a woman of most estimable personal character, and a close friend to Queen Victoria. THE NOBLE DUKE. The duke has been a frequent visitor to our shores, gencrally coming in the stateroom of his own big steam yacht, which, if it bore the brave name of Sans Peur, was perhaps not al- ways sans reproche, It will be remembered that eg b one visit in April, 1886, he rather upset New York's idea of what a real British nobleman should be by appearing at a fashionable wedding in a short peajacket and otherwise deporting himself like a jack tar ashore. It is said that bis grace is sufficiently fasci- nated by the climate and sport of Florida to be willing to abandon forever his legislative func- tions as a peer of the realm, and intends to ex- patriate himself in the interests of Tampa (Fla.) oranges and orange blossoms.

From the Chicagy Mail. “If the fool-killer is in town I can direct him to a certain number on one of our fashionable boulevards where he will find a ripe subject.” This remark came from a young man in my presence, and I asked him what he meant. “I was sitting in a dentist's office to-day,” he said, ‘when a fashionably-dressed woman came in and wanted her teeth examined. The den- tist made an examination and told her that her teeth were in good condition and that they needed no repairing. One of her front teeth, the dentist told me afterward, had a gold filling which was artificial and had been inserted not | from necessity but for effect. This filling she | wented removed and a diamond set in its place. | She said she was tired of the plain, every-day gold and wanted a real solitaire diamond set in | the center of a nice white tooth. The woman | lived on one of the most aristocratic boulevards in ‘ago, and the dentist gave me he: uame sub-rosa.” The fad of having diamonds set in the teeth, | while not much indulged, is not new, as it was started in New York about a year ago. I asked Dr. A. B. Clark what his experience had been | with diamond filling, and he told me he had | never been applied to for so aristocratic a fill- ing, and did not believe he had a customer who | would be so foolish as to want it. The cost, he thought, aside from the cost of the diamond, would be abont £40, maybe more. “L have known cases,” he said, “where women have had cavities bored into good, sound teeth and gold vet in purely for show, and it is very common, when I wm preparing front teeth for | gold filling, to be asked by both male and fe- | male customers to do the filling from the front so the gold can be seen.” cis oO Pauncefote to Succeed Sackville.
