NAMES FOR ‘The Anthropological Society Adopts = Re- port on the Subject. I 18 RECOMMENDED THAT THE OLD NOMENCLA- TURE WITHIN THE PRESENT CITY LIMITS BE RETAINED—HOW IT 18 PROPOSED TO PROVIDE FOR EXTENSIONS—THE SUBURBAN ROADS. The committee which was appointed by the Anthropological Society, consisting of James Mooney, chairman; Wm. H. Babcock, W. H. Holmes, W. Hallett Phillips and Lester P. Ward, to decide upon the best eystem for the nomenclature of the streets and avenues of the District submitted their report at a mecting of the society which was held at the Cosmos Club last night. Though the night was avery un- pleasant one upon which to venture out the meeting was fairly well attended. The repgrt of | the committee had been furnished to the mem- | bers of the society in pamphlet form previously, So that each one was acquainted with the pro- | visions it contained. ‘The réport was discussed in an informal way for about an hour before Chairman McGee put the question on its adoption. Not a dissenting voice was heard and the report was declared to be that of the society. Among those who par- ticipated in the discussion were Commissioner | Douglass, Prof. Goodfellow, Mr. Mooney, the chairman of the committee; Librarian Spofford and Mr. McGee. All commended the result of the committee's work and only made « sug- gestion as to some minor detail. | The report said, after discussing the matter | at considerable length: The committee would suggest the retention of the present system of duplicate numbered streets running north and south and of the presbnt existing duplicate | lettered streets running east and west, and that | all streets running parallel with the present let- | tered streets be known in future as numbered | avenues, beginning with Ist avenue and con-| | tinning in regular succession. | came name. | changes might be made with advantage. | Loughboro’ road.—This name is liable both | known as turpy or 5 road, along which at intervals are erect | ieadiog up Jrom | residence.

Pikes and other country roads are usually known by the names of the principal towns, streams or other features along their lines, as the Bladensburg road, Broad Branch road. Pierce's Mill road, 4c.’ Many of our District roads, following the old colonial fashion, take their names from the early proprietors of the estates thi which they ran, a the Carroll road, the Blair road, and #0 on. Theoretically the name of a road should indicate its ob- jective point or general direction, but this is not often practicable within the District, owing Road names, like those of streets, jonably short and not liable to mispronun- ciation or apprehension, and to avoid redun- dancy those ronds which are approximately continuous along the same line should have the In accord with this idea several should be to the irregular configuration of the surface. to mispronunciation and misreading. On one map it appears as Longboro’. The name does road and should be discarded and the road con- sidered a part of the Ridge road or of the other of which it is a continuation. It would be unwise to change the names of the present lettered streets. ides the con- | fusion which such a wholesale change would necessarily entail for aloug time, the present | simple letter names are the shortest that can be devised, and any other series would require a constant edditional expenditure of valuable time in addressing letters and indicating loca- tions, The difference to business man be- l tween writing a single letter of the alphabet | | and writing a whole word of eight or ten let- | ers every ‘time be has occasion to address a correspordent is something considerable in «| few days or a week, and when we extend this dif- | ference to a whole city, with its population of a | quarter of a mill it becomes enormous. »ption of a system of numbered ave- | ad a parallel with the present lettered | streets should appear impracticable the com- mittee would suggest as an alternative dupli- ate alphabetic series of names for such streets running east and west beyond W street, the first series to consist of names of American cities, the second of American rivers, lakes, &c., and the third (partiel series) of names of trees and lants. This is sufficient to furnish names for all such future streets to the present limits of | the Distri the system may be extended if in time to come should demand licate system conforms to th (pea } ent method in use for both numbered and let- tered #treete and abbreviates the necessity for too great multiplicity of series.

This last proviso would bar out such names as Agassiz, Des Moines and L’En- fant, however much we might desire to com-| memorate the originals. Double names, such as | New Orleans or St. Clair, are also to be avoided. Zand U are always difficult letters to ill in an alphabetic series, and consequently there is little room for choice where they are con- cer: ‘The following lists of names are submitted for the several series proposed: FIRST KERIES—LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET.

Sume of the teachers of the public schools evidently do not look upon matrimony as in- compatible with the discharge of their duties. The board of trustees, however, take another view. Some time ago « rule was adopted which made the marriage of a teacher equivalent to = resignation. In other words, when a teacher marrios her name is dropped from the rolls and there is no necessity for further action. At the session of the board yesterday a further step was taken in the same direction. A list of names was submitted to that body for approval of persons who had passed the recent examina- tion held for teachers’ positions. There was one name in the list of = woman who was said to be the wife of clerk in one of the depart- ments, Objection was made to granting this woman @ certificate on the ground that abe had & husband to support her and that there were & number of women dependent on their ows ex- ertions who were competent to fill these po- sitions, aud that the preference ought to be given fo them.

Some matters of routine business were trans- acted, as follows: } Certificates were ordered to be issued to the following successful candidates in the examina- tion id November 18 and 19: Blanche E.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. Bostox, Dec. 12, 1892. Politicians in Massachusetts have to tell what they do with their money. These returns are @ little slower in coming in than the results of the election, but they come after awhile. They furnish some very interesting reading usually, especially for some who accepted “‘retainers” in ignorance of this somewhat new requirement and so did not expect to see their names in print. It is especially amusing for chairmen of ward committees to see their names among the beneficiaries of the other party. It hap- pens though, and it happened this year. MONEY SPENT BY BOTH PARTIES. The state committee treasurers of both par- ties made their returns a few days ago. Honors were easy as to the amount spent. The repub- lican state committee spent 59,835.77, of which @52,947.18 was subscribed this vear. "The democratic state committee spent $55,684, of which ¢59,812 was received this year ‘The re- pu have a balance of @5,097; the demo- crate a deficit of $1,091. The ‘republicans re- ceived $28,075 from the national republican committee ‘and the democrats $23,250 from their national committee. The largest republican individual contributor was Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, with $7,000, and the largest individual democratic contributor was Congressman John F. Andrew, with $6,585. Some of the large republican ‘contributors were F. L. Armes, $2,000; J. M. Lasell, €1,500: James Phillips, jr., $1,000; Samuel Hailo, $2,500; William ©.’ Plunkett, $1,000. Some $6,000, in addition to the funds of the national committee, came from the hands of Chairman E. 8. Draper. Among the democratic heavy contributors were Col. Charles H. Taylor of the Globe, $1,- 500; Henry L. Pierce, $2,000; Alfred Hemen- way, $1,000; Moses T. Stevens, 1,000; Martin Brinner, $1,000. COST TO CONGRESSIONAL. CAXDIDATES. The congressional candidates also have to make returns. Geo. Fred Williams’ campaign cost €3,500 and Gen. Draper, his opponent, used $6,000 to defeat him. e marked and marred Australian ballots have been “sent to their account with all their imperfections on their heads.”, The executive council formally declared Russell elected by | 2,634, and December 8, the month having ex- pred ihe ballots were destroyed.

Collins, Cleveland elector-at-large, the highest dem- ocratic vote, 176,818—a presidential plurality for Harrison of exactly 26,001 votes. The eur- tain has dropped on the last act of this mem- orable campaign in Massachusetts and the scenes are shifting for a new drama. Hon.W. E. Barrett has practically abandoned his fight against Congressman Henry Cabot Lodge for Senator Dawes’ seat. As predicted by Tuz Stan, he was forced to do this or else sacrifice'all hope of being re-elected speaker of the legislature. But his candidacy for the Speakership» hardly fares better than his renato- rial aspirations. Representative Frank P. Bei nett of Everett is out for the prize. He say WILL RUN AGAINST BARRETT. “Yes, I have consented to be a candidate for speaker, though I notice that Mr. Barrett now states that he hus a majority of all the members of the legislature committed to him. “If what members and other prominent re- ublicans say can be relied upon, that is to say, f they are not mistaken in their opinions, what Mr. Barrett says can hardly be true in this in- stance. “‘As to the grounds of opposition to Mr. Bar- rett I will leave it to the republicans of th commonwealth to state them, as they are free! expressed to me in ail direction speaker of the house for four vious speak years.

The strongest complaint against the engine room was that of Mr. B. F. Waddey, who resides opposite and basa sick daughter. NOTES.

Appropriations Made by the Federation of Labor. Immediately after the reading of the minutes at the convention of the Federation of Labor at Philadelphia yesterday the committee ap- Pointed for the purpose reported on the special order for the afternoon, the celebration of Homestead day. It was recommended that 1,000 be appropriated from the funds of the federation for the defense of accused employes Of the Carnegie works now awaiting trial. Several delegates opposed the appropriation on the ground that that amount could be used to the better advantage of Homestead people if contributed for some other purpose. It was also argued that the call for assistance was a re- | quest for individual donations. A substitute Was offered in accordance with a suggestion in the president's report that « collection be taken from the delegates present for the pur- pose in view. After some discussion ex-President Weihe of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers was called on to enlighten the del- egates on the situation at Homestead and recited the result of the fight up to the present time. Inconciusion he said that the association would make every effort in defense of its accused members. The substitute was finally defeated and the re- port adopted unanimousls AA proposition to contribute €500 additional for the non-union men who struck in sympathy with the Homestead members of the Amalga- mated Association caused some discussion. It was argued that the first duty of the Amalga- mated Association was to these supporters, and that every cent for their relief should be contri- buted through the hands of the Amalgamated offi- cials. One of these who was present, Delegate Cer- ney, made a vigorous defense of his organ’ tion and its liberal treatment of the non-union | laborers who assisted in the struggie. He de- clared that the association had expended im- | mense sums in this cause and were only com- | pelled to ask for aid through the desertion of some of its members, who had been guilty of the basest ingratitude and who had caused the Amalgamated men a loss of $100,000. An amendment was offered to place the 2500 in the hands of the Homestead general relief committee of the Amnigamated Association, but a motion to indefinitely postpone the ques- tion prevailed bya vote of 20 to 18. Reconsid- eration was moved and carried by a large ma- jority. Ona second ballot a heavier vote was polled, but the postponement was again carried | ¥ a vote of 9 to 36. Roll call was then de- | manded. Amid considerable excitement the names of the delegates were called. As on the yeas and nays the members’ votes were counted | according to a unit basis proportioned to their | representation the motion to postpone was de- featod by a vote of 1,036 to 946, and the $509 appropriation passed unanimously, as all those im the minority decided to change their votes when they found their proposition defeated. Another appropriation of 2500 was granted for the defense of the Cur d'Alene miners and $500 more to the Tennessee miners’ de- fense, despite protests that the treasury could not stand these repeated demands. President Gompers and others contended that a wrong course had been pursned in un- dertaking to make donations for which there was no financial provision. At the close of this discussion the convention adjourned until today. te THE AMERICA’S CUP RAC Lord Dunraven’s Challenge Accepted—The Contest to Occur in Ten Months, At the special meeting of New York Yacht Club held at club house yesterday Lord Dun- raven's chajlenge to race for America’s cup was unconditionally accepted.

Tom Con, fireman, was run over and fatally hurt. Several buggies were smashed and the occupants more or less hurt. ‘The en- gine was turned over and completely demol- ished.
