The Tenleytown people are hot. Their high temperature, though, is not attribu- table to the weather, but to the action of the school trustees in removing from their midst the eighth grade class. For months they have been asking for additional school facilities and teachers. Instead of having their request complied with, their only public school has been deprived of | its brightest pupils. These are now obliged to come daity to Georgetown, over three miles away. Another evidence of the great need of better educational facilities is shown from the fact that Miss Muntz is said to daily teach a class of seventy-four pupils. ‘There are but four rooms to the old-fash- foned school house, and there at least, it 13 said, 500 pupils in ‘the Tenleytown district. All that section lying between Rock creck, the Loughborough road, Woodley lane and the District line is looked upon and spoken of as Tenleytown. A meeting of the cili- zens is now being arranged for one night this week, with the purpose in view of ie- lecting a committee to lay their grievance formally before the Commissioners. ; ‘The Matthews Shooting. ‘The most intelligent of those about Ten- leytown, who are watching all develop- ments in the Shoemaker-Matthews murder case with interest, say that in their opinion Barnes and Hyson, the principal witnesses examined at the corone's inquest on Mon- day, will, no doubt, be tried as accessories to the crime, it being shown on that occa- sion that they did not become accidentally acquainted with the facts in the case. Hy- son and Barnes were with Shoemaker when he left the saloon. They were made ac- quainted with his intention to get the gun from Mrs. Helen Keifer, and were but a 100 feet away when the shot was fired. On the sounding of the report they went im- mediately back, and without questions of any sort asked for matches. One was struck and held in the face of the prostrate form of Matthews. She is Missing. ‘The police have been notified that Katie King of 1070 Wth street, a girl seventeen years of age, has left her home,and requests them to keep a watch out for her. To a reporter the mother of the girl last night said that ever since last Friday she had been away. She had understood that for some time her daughter had been meeting clandestine- ly a certain Georgetown letter carrier, and she was under the firm opinion that the two were living together. They had taken up their residence, it was said, at a board- ing house on N street. ‘The officers have been furnished with a photograph of the runaway. It depicts a bright-eyed brunette of pleasing face. Near a Tragedy. ‘There came near being another tragedy last night, and the victim, Edward Johnson, a colored man. It was a fight near the Metropolitan Railroad Company's stables on P street. The man who came near coming out the victor was Peter Pentc Officer’ Uppe:man interrupted, | however. just as a heavy savage looking knife was held over Johnson's throat. Work Commenced. ‘The recently organized Potomac Brick and Tile Company have begun operations by purchasing a tract of land on which to build their plant. The price paid for it was $20,000, and the location, on the north side of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, about seven miles from town, being a part of the Arthur Cropley farm. A large force ts con- structing kilns and building the necessary sheds. Henry Mitchell and others interested sold to Samuel T. Smith lot 55 in the subdi- vision of Rosedale on the Tenleytown road. Shorter Paragrap! At the Methodist Church in Tenleytown last night Mr. Harry Robey and Miss Sarah Walthers were united in marriage by the Rev. Mr. Smith. The wedding was a public one and attended by a host of the couple's friends. It was announced last evening at Linthi- cum Institute that Prof. Webster Edgerly of the Martyn College of Elocution and Oratory had offered a yearly scholarship in his institute to the pupil of the elocu- tion department of Linthicum who should be pronounced at the end of each year the most accomplished of the class.

He | PETITION AND MEMORIAL Against the Garbage Factory Adopted Last Night by Citizens. ‘The South Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion met last night at the hall of the Wash- ington Athletic Club. Seventy-five people were present. Ten of this number were women and @ reasonable percentage were {die spectators, who apparently felt but Uttle active interest in the proceedings. ‘The meeting called forth nothing sensation- al. There was a fair sprinkling of home rulers in attendance, and early in the even- ing there were promises of a wrangle. The suffragists were outnumbered and withdrew from the meeting without making any dem- onstration. The association was called to order at 8:30 o'clock by the temporary chair- man, W. A. Richards. On nomination of Mr. ‘Richards, E. C. C. Winter was unani- mously elected as president. On assuming the chair he sald he did not want it, but would preside as best he could. He then took some back-handed shots at the suf- fragists by stating pointedly that the object of the meeting was to suppress the slop boilery and that this was the only business they were to consider. Mr. W. C. Prentice, temporary secretary, was elected perma- nent secretary. He read the minutes of the previous session. Mr. Frizzell, president of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Asso- clation, was Invited to a seat on the plat- form. ‘He expressed deep appreciation for the honor. He said that the zeal which the association was manifesting was warranted by the necessity. When people flew to arms, as had the people of Southwest Washington, something was wrong. He told of the ex- periences which the people of his locality had passed through with the Baltimore and Ohio raiiroad, which had acted as though {t owned the earth till brought to bay by the intrepid citizens of the northeast. South Washington, he continued, was under the thrall of a’ more grasping monopoly than the B. and O.; it was run over and trampled on by the Pennsylvania, The Baltimore Sanitary Company, which disgraced South Washington, must go. It must be destroyed root and branch. “Fellow sufferers,” sald the speaker, “stand shoulder to shoulder, stamp out this Iniquitous institution; people here should have the benefit of the taxes they paid.” He said that if the garbage mill must be kept In Washington, put it in that section near Rock Creek, already ruined by the gas company. ‘President Winter indorsed the sentiments of the speaker and said that “if we want to suc- ceed we must not go to fussing and show- ing our teeth. Petition and Memortal. Secretary Prentice then read a memorial to Congress and a petition to the Commis- sioners. A copy of the petition was also appended to the memorial. The petition denied that the locality populated by the petitioners was occupied mainly by brick yards and factories, or that it was unlikely ever to become a residence section of the city. Even though these reflections made by the Commissioners were true the citizens of South Washington had redress against a nuisance. The document recites that while the Commissioners were making an exami- nation of the garbage factory,and upon which investigation they based their favor- able report, their coachman, who was sta- tioned outside the factory, was overcome by the sickening stench. The petition alleges that complaint was made against the estab- lishment of the factory in South Washing- ton and that offal and garbage are dumped into the gutters of South Capitol street. The petition states that the management of the garbage factory has improved since the anti agitation opened. The report of Health Officer Hammett Is denied and the statement made that complaints against the alleged nuisance were frequently made to the health authorities. Blackstone's defi- nition of nuisance is quoted and the Com- missioners invited to get an opinion on the matter from the District attorney. The National Sanitary Company, the wharves of the Odorless Excavating Company and the fertilizer factory of Mr. Patrick Mann are condemned. “Fully awakened to our rights, says the petition, “we are determined to de- mand our full share of all improvements, The memorial to the Senate is simply plain statement of the case. On motion of Col. A. E. Redstone, the memorial and petition were adopted. Col. Redstone wanted to know if residents of Northwest Wash- ington were eligible to sign the papers. President Winter announced that they were glad of all the assistance they could get, but indicated that northwest autographs were not at a premium. It was decided to appoint a committee of ten to enroll members of the association. Méssrs. John C. Howland, H. H. Blackburn and Mr. Flemming made speeches. Mr. Howland advised them to stick together, using as his text, “In union there is strength.” Mr. Blackburn defended the Commissioners and slurred the suffragists, and Mr. Flemming said delightful things about the press. On motion of Mr. Gatch- ell, a vote of thanks was given the orators. President Winter congratulated the as- sembly on its orderly conduct. Adjourned tilt Tuesday night next. —_—_ WASHINGTON PRESBYTERY. 1 Fall Meeting Held Yester- day at Ballston, Va.

To the Editor of The Evening Sta ‘The new company for our western branch of the High School is about to be formed. ‘The commissioned officers, it is stated, are to come from the central school. Why 1s this? Why not make the company com- plete from our own branch of the schoo.? Surely there is good material here for every purpose. I know that the boys are com- plaining bitterly on this account. Perhaps some of them may not join the company at all if they find that their officers are not to be of thelr own school. Therefore make up the company complete from our own branch of the school. COMPANY. od Go to Metzerott Hall tomorrow evening.— Advt. 1—Chief Justice | $9,130. | the city, AMUSEMENTS. Friend Fritz—Next Monday evening promises to be a gala event at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House. It will be the first ap- pearance here of Marion Manola and John Mason since they began starring, and also the first time here of thelr operatit comedy, “Friend Frits.” In its English adaptation it has been furnished with considerable come- dy and a delightful score by that talented musician, Julian Edwards, best known here by his music of “Jupit In “Friend Fritz” he ts said to have written music that for its originality and melody has rarely been equaled, his five songs for Marion Manola being gems of melody. The produc- tion of “Friend Fritz" is a novelty. The three sets painted by that famous French artist, Lafayette Sceary, are sald to be masterpieces. The opening here marks the two hundredth performance of “Friend Fritz” by the Manola-Mason Company, and in honor of the event Manager Aibaugh has decided to make it a souvenir occasion by presenting to every lady attending this per- formance a memento in the shape of a handsome gold enameled sword pin, one of the most expensive souvenirs in the history of theatrical mementos. Vesper Bells.—The coming of Gray and Stephens to this city never fails to bring out large audiences, for the attraction which they offer is both unique and delightful. In “Vesper Bells” they have a play which is full of human interest, and which serves not only to effectively introduce Minnie Oscar Gray as a character actress, but to show the wonderful intelligence of Mr. Stephens’ dogs and ponies in a striking but natural manner. Scenically the pro- duction will have every advantage, and the vast 1s one which promises good work in all the parts. The friends that the play and the company have won among the ladies and children would be sufficiently numerous to assure a generous welcome next week. Weber and Field's Company.—Again Manager Kernan comes to the front with high class vaudeville. This time it is Weber and Field’s own company,which will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week. ‘The eccentric characters,unique dia- lect and peculiar wit of these two gentle- men are too well known here to require com- ment, but their show does not depend upon the hustling proprietors alone. They have surrounded themselves with a coterie of ar- tists, who, in their respective acts, are pre- eminent. ‘Their excellent program includes McIntyre and Heath, the black-face origi- nators; Jas. F. Hoey, better known as Youn, Mule, a brother to “Old Hoss;” Abachi an Masand, acrobatic wonders; Miss Capitola Forrest, the fascinating high kicker and dancer; Johnnie Carroll, in comic and top! cal songs; Marion and Bell—“Nuf Sed, and the famous Fansons. Metzerott’s Hall.—Tonight there will be a mandolin, banjo and guitar concert at Metzerott Hall, in which some of the best performers on ‘those instruments will par- tictpate. The program has been carefully arranged, and the entertainment will be thoroughly enjoyable. “As You Like It."—The Mberty bell com- mittee, under whose auspices the al fresco performance of Shakespeare's charming comedy, “As You Like It,” will be given on Friday in the grove of the Tuttle es- tate, at the head of Connecticut avenue, are working earnestly to make the event nota- ble. The committee consists of Miss Mary Desha, Mrs, F. F. Ballinger, Miss Lilian Pike, Mrs. Patty, Miller Stocking, and Mrs. Catchings, wife of Representative Catchings of Mississippi. The following is the list of patronesses: Mesdames Adlai E. Stevenson, John G. Carlisle, Walter Q. Gresham, ‘Wilson 8. Bissell, John M. Schofield, Charles F. Mai derson, Shelby M. Cullom, Edward C. W thall, James K. Jones, Francis M. Cock- rell, George G. Vest, Joseph N. Dolph, John A. Logan,Beverly U. Kennon,and Elizabeth Blair Lee. Mr. Hanford has secured a cast that will be an improvement even on that which was seen at Marshall Hall, which Was thought to be well nigh perfect. Miss Eleanor Merron, a beautiful and talented | actress, who has been a leading member of Dan. Frohman's Lyceum Stock Company, will play Rosalind; Miss Sallie Williams will again be the Audrey, Mr. Creston Clarke the Orlando, Mr. C. B.' Hanford, Jacques; and the other performers will be practically the same as were seen at Mar- shall Hall. The demand for tickets has been very great, and if the weather is pro- Pitious, Messrs. Hanford and Cloward Promise to present the finest performance ever seen in Washington. ———E WASHINGTON HUMANE SOCIETY. e Work Accomplished During the Month Reported in Full.
