The National Association of Democratic Clubs Recommends Its Observance. The following notice has been issued from the office of the National Association of Democratic Clubs: Again, as heretofore, the National Aseoci- ation of Democtatio Clubs respectfully ad- vises the simultancous celebration of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson by all demo- cratic clubs. It is suggested that upon that day every democratic _ society in the Union should open its doors and assem- ble its members to commemorate in the way most convenient and agreeable to itself the advent of. the. great apostle of American liberty, the man who surpassed all other men in sublime devotion and practical service to the cause of human freedom the world over. Insofar as the party of which he was the father, teacher and leader, conforms implicitly to his doctrines and example, has it been in the past and will it ever be, at once right and re- sistless. The time is, peculintiy appropriate for. a general renewal of our devotion to the prin- ciples of Jefferson. For the first time since the civil war the democratic party is about to return to power in all political branches of the general government. We have professed the purity, simplicity and frugality of Jefferson and his democratic sssociates, us, the democratic people, see as best we may that {hese professions are re- deemed by our public servants. We succeed in power a party more ist in its policies and conduet than the ori them- selves, a party which bas burdened the peo- ple with eruel and taxes, which has squandered the public money in riotous expenditures and unconstitutional appropriations, which systematically disregarded the limitations of the Corstitution, and by euch exceases invited the most sweep- ing condemnation ever visited upon any a in America, It has been displaced Testored because the people at large the pure, just and con- stitutional government ‘which Jefferson and his disciples gave them and which we bave promised them. The timely study and exposition of the body of Jefferson's teachings by the democratic societies of the Uniou will go far toward their practical enforcement in demo- cratic administration and will reassure the peopie of our fixed purpose to execute the pledges we gave them, in virtue of which our candidate received their votes. ‘The great democratic leaders of more than half a century ago resolved upon the annual celebration of Jefferson's birthday, selected the 13th of April as the date, and for the «ake of uniformity we recommend tant this day be observed by all the democratic societies in the association. pee Interior Department Changes. The following official changes have been made in the Department of the Interior: General land office—Resiguation: John Coker of Illinois, a principal examiner of land claims and contests, £2,000. Pension office—Resigna’ tions: Warner Wil- hite of Indiana, chief of division, $2,000; Will- liam H. Hyatt of Kansas, clerk, $1.200. Geological survey—Resignation: Henry A. C. Hunter of District of Columbia, palconto- logic draughteman, 21.000. Clerks Work Extra Hours. Extra hours were begun in the office of the fourth assistant postmaster general today. ‘The clerks are required to work an hour longer each day and instead of going home at 4 o'clock as the employes in the other divisions of the office do they are required to stick to their desks until 5 o'clock. In this way it is hoped to be able to get the mass of papers in regard to appointments in the various post offices throughou: the coun- try in shape so that they can be acted upon some time in the near fature. It has been the custom to extend the hours of work at this period in an administration, and also to en- large tne clerical force. Both of these means for hurrying up the work has now been adopted, and it is expected that the appointments of fourth class post offices will roll out of the mill hopper as fast as Mr. Maxwell, the fourth as- sistant, can find time to turn the crank. ect aa coma es reas The Nomad Cycle Club Dance.

Dr. Ritchie is one of the best-known men in Georgetown in connection with the Rock creck problem. Of all things affecting Georgetown this is the most momentous, The doctor de- clares that it is an impediment to trade, a men- | ace to health and abrake on the progress of | the town. Rock creek is the principal barrier | to the anity of the District, Washington and Georgetown can hardly ever become a municipal | unit with this geographical obstacle intercept- ing communication aud isolating Georgetown. | The existence of Rock creek is popularly recog- | nized asa mistake. The creek was all right as | nature designed it, but with a city on either | side and tons of sewage emptying into it a | change has become insperative. “Congress bas | never shown too great generosity toward this section of this District and I fear,” continued the doctor, “that the costly remedies it | for Rock ’ er y | will care plan projected is entirely | Georgetown, only the estimate demands such a lavish appropriation that the plan will not be | acted on. We appreciate the plans of army en- | gineers in this matter, but what we want is i feasible, practical and comparatively in- |expensive scheme which will put Rock creek from the mill to the M street bridge completely out of sight. There area good many historic incidents associated with this sewer, |but we want cleanliness, bealth, good order and progress instead of a train of semi-sentimental memories. Rock creek is a nuisance and should be proceeded against accordingly. Those whoo this im- provement are looking at it with the binocular vision of e and Ohio canal. Thace in mind just now,” said the doctor, as he | pounded the table to add emphasis to his re- | marks, “‘a scheme that appears to be feasible j And that will t the case. I believe that the desired end might be attained by straightening the creck at the P street bend by tunneling | the Metropolitan railroad property and then | building a retaming wall along either side of | the creek. ‘Then deepen the channel and the | walls acting as a compress on the stream would produce a current that would be a self-acting cleanser. with iron and a roadway made along it. 80 we geta cure.
