The Association Opposes Scaling Down the Appropriations For the District. Many Matters Taken U, jewers,Lights and Sidewalks—To Urge Appropria- tion for Unemployed—Resignation. The regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association was held in the Presbyterian Church of the village last evening. In the absence of the president and vice president of the association, Mr. Chapin Brown was elected president pro tem. Upon the call of committees Mr. Wood- ruff, from the executive committee, re- ported that Capt. Derby of the office of the Engineer Commissioner had informed the committee that $1,000, remaining unex- pended on account of the Spring road sewer, would be used tor the comstruction of the sewer on Center street. "rom the committee on schools Mr. Em- ery reported tnat he had conferred with the Commussioners and the school board rei: tive to the school house estimated for by the Commissioners, and those officials had promised to do everything in their power to Secure the retention of the item in the ap- propriation. ‘The matter would be brougat to the attention of the Senate District com- | mittee tomorrow morning, and he believed that the greatly needed building would be secured. | For the committee on lights Mr. Emery stated in reference to the lights promised the village by the Commissioners that the posts had been erected, but the lights had not yet been turned on, although promised | for November 1. On the motion of Mr. Childs the commit- tee on lights was instructed to call the at- | tention of the Commissioners to the failure | to have the lights in operation as promised, | and to urge them to procee-] in the matier at the earliest practicable moment. Secretary Exeley then laid before the as- sociation a letter from President J. W. | Somerville, in which Mr. Somerville stated | that force of other duties would prevent his further continuance as president of the as- | sociation. The communication was laid on | the table until the next regular meeting. Mr. Woodruff of the committee appointed to confer with the Commissioners in ref- | erence to the proposed suburban street rail- road out 17th street to the National Rock Creek Park stated that there was a strong opposition to the occupancy of the street on the part of down-town residents on the street. The matter was discussed by the associa- tion, it being stated that there was a ma- jority of the residents of 17th street in fa- vor of the road, and the necessity for the road to suburban residents pointed out. The recommendation of the Secret: the Treasury, that the cstimates submitted to the District Commissioners be scaled down, was next discussed, the unanimous opinion of the association being that a re- duction would not only be a great hardship to the laboring classes of the District, but that the progress and welfare of the Dis- trict would be materially obstructed and retarded, and a resolution expressing those views, offered by Mr. Woodruff, 'S adopt- ed without a dissenting vote. On the motion of Mr. Emery, the request of the Commissioners that a bill appropri- ating $20,000 be at once passed by Congress for the purpose of granting substantial re- lief to the unemployed of the District, was hearti approved, nd Messrs. Emery, Brown, Woodruff, Nixcn and Cole were appointed a committe2 to appear before the Senate District committee at 10:30 tomor- row morning and urge the immediate pass- age of the bill.

Wer-‘her Gets Here. Several Late Attempts at Highwa Robbery—Both Victims Residents of Fort Myer — Other News. At about 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon highway robbery took place on the govern- ment road leading to Fort Myer, in the vi- cinity of the little wooden bridge that crosses the branch at the foot of the last hill. Mrs. Crusoen, wife of a trooper in com- pany K, ninth cavalry, stationed at the fort, was the victim. She had been to town to make some purchases and was returning home on foot. Just as she approached the bridge a man suddenly jumped from a place of concealment and wrenched from her hand the little satchel containing her purse. The act was such a sudden one that she had no time to resist. Those at liberty at the fort were notified and a hunt made for the robber, but the efforts to capture or see him proved fruitless. It was near this spot two nights previous cavalry, was set upon by two men, robbed of $30, ‘beaten, left for dead and then had his clothes slashed into strips. Neither of the victims are able to say whether their assailants were white or not. Miller is still suffering from effects of his severe beating.

As this might cause some people to look for an arbitrary reduc- tion on the part of the authorities and hence suspicion as to the justice of this curtatl- ing, I feel constrained to send you a few words of explanation. Each exhibitor was required to send in a complete list of the objects he wished to have examined, and for each article an or- der for its inspection was made out and given to a judge. This order was in part blank, having a space upon which the Judge's findings were written. In this w it often happened that each article w: commended, and if this one thing had con- stituted the exhibitors’ entire display he would have received for it an award. Frequently these orders for parts of the same exhibit fell into the hands of several judges and each might propose an award, but it did not follow that this particular ex- hibitor should receive one medal and one diploma for each recommendation, but the one diploma will contain the various rea- sons proposed by the individual examiners. ‘This one diploma with the various points of excellence stated thereon will be just as valuable as if each point were relegated to a single diploma. It might be said that the medal is for the exhibitor and the diploma specifies why the exhibit obtained an award for its maker. Therefore, the “reduction of medals’ or diplomas simply means that condensation or consolidation which was originally in the minds of the committee on awards. be Hereafter, when you hear an exhibitor say that he received four medals and four diplomas, you can say to yourself, one medal and one diploma for four meritorious features, If a three months’ experience as secretary of the largest jury at the exposition counts for anything, I can say thd the “one man system” offers more advantages than any plan yet proposed, and, furthermore, the blame heretofore placed upon Mr. John Boyd Thacher for all inefficiencies of this system should be placed upon the persons in authority who proposed incompetent friends and secured their appointment as jurors.
