Ave. NEEDS OF GEORGETOWN Discussed at a Meeting of Citizens Last Evening. The representative citizens of town turn- ed out in force last evening to discuss the disadvantages the place is laboring under, devise means for thgir improvement, and introduce new measures, the successful adoption and carrying out of which would be of inestimable benefit to the District west of Rock creek. Dr. Ritchie, the presi- dent of the West Washington Citizens’ As- sociation, called the meeting to order, and Dr. A. B. Shekell acted as secretary until the arrival of Mr. W. H® Manogue. Mr. H. B. Looker was the first to formally address those present. He is the chairman of the committee appointed to wait upon the Commissioners and request that they regu- late the dumping of refuse matter on the banks of Rock creek, in order to maintain a firm foundation. No doubt, it was thought, in the early future retaining walls or improving walls would be built, design- ed to greatly add, not only to the appear- ance of the section, but to the health of the people of the neighborhood, as it is pro- posed to provide for the confinement of the sewerage which now openly empties into the stream. The Commissioners stated in answer to ene. request that they did not have juris- ction over all the lands along the banks, as some belonged to private parties. | wou'd, however, act in the citizens’ behalf as far as their power would permit. On the completion of this report it was moved and seconded, and a resolution drawn to that effect by Mr. Looker, that Congress be petitioned to give the Commissioners power to legislate in this matter. Mr. Marbury reported that the dangerous grade on the south side of M street near |Sist, caused by the raising of the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, and which daily causes the fall- ing of horses, had been reported to the pres- {ident of the company and he had emphati- {cally stated that the company was in no way responsible or Hable, as the work had been done under the supervision of an en- igineer of the District. ‘When asked what had been done with the new street improvement schedule, Mr. Marbury replied that owing to more urgent business the schedule had not yet received congressionai consideration. Over the Aqueduct Bridge. The mort important question of the meet- ing then came up, when Mr. Geo. G. Bote- Aer read a communication from Mr. J. E. Clements, representing the citizens of Falls Church and vicinity, asking that he request the West Washington organization to recommend favorably, and do ail in their power to further the passage of the bill asking for the reconstruction of the Aque- cuct bridge, and its adaptation for rail- |vead purposes., The bill is known as Sen- ate bili No. 1574, and was introduced by Mr. Gibson of Maryland. Its passage would ; mean much to both Georgetown and Ross- lyn. | ‘Yhe Norfolk and Western's bill asking for jan entrance into town was brought for- ward also by Mr. Boteler. It met with the | approval of the meeting, was indorsed, and its passage through both houses will be worked for. Mr. Jesse H. Wilson, the school trustee, spoke of the urgent need of additional edu- cational facilities for the pupils of the High School in Georgetown and advocated that a committee of citizens walt upon the con- gressional appropriation committee and pre- sent the needs of the section in this re- spect. This gave rise to a motion, which was accorded a favorable reception, asking for the establishment of a committee having the building up of the educational interests of the town as its chief work. Mr. Wilson asked that the association recommend the incre se of the school appropriation to $70,- erry, S. Thomas Brown, J. H.Wiison, J. E. Padget and John Marbury, jr.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: j The gas bills for December and January ; have been outrageously high all over Capi- ; tcl Hill. Mine, with the ordinary lights, was larger than ever before, even when the gas was higher in price. Indeed, it was larger during those months than it was when we ; did all the cooking for a family of eleven ; and heated a sixty-five-gallon boiler wholly with gas! It is simply because of the ex- cessive pressure which the company has put on the gas, obviously for the purpose of making a bright light during the investiga- tion. Consumers who have no automatic governors should turn it partly off at the meter. Light the gas and then turn it off at the meter until you have the proper-sized flame without any blowing at the burner. It is a double outrage, because not only are consumers made to pay for a great deal more gas than they burn, but tHe unburned, gas poisons the atmosphere of the room#f As Dr. Jackson testified in the gas investi- gution in New York, this excessive pressure is one of the favorite games of the gas com- panies to get ahead of the public. February 8, 1894. CAPITOL HILL. —<—>_—_ By the Luther Alllance. The first of a series of entertainments was given last evening by the Luther Al- Mance of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, Rev. W. H. Gotwald, pastor. Owing to the in- clement weather the attendance was not so large as expected. However, all those {present were highly pleased with the even- ing’s entertainment and were glad to know that more would follow. The entertain- ment consisted of recitations, instrumental and vocal selections, and an address b; | the pastor. The new Augsburg song | Was used and several selections sung by the entire audience. Those who participated were: Mrs. Nailor and Dodson, Misses Hofman; Messrs. Guy V.

A new andidate for fistic honors has made his appearance in the pugilistic arena and threatens to disturb the peace of Gentleman Jim in the future. For some time past the pages of the Senate have been perfecting their physical forma- tions by work in a home-made gymnasium that they have fitted up in one of the base- ment rooms of the Senate wing. They have used light dumbbells and a few other simple pieces of apparatus, with which they have become quite expert. The celebrated internationa! mill at Jack- sonville has caused a great pugilistic en- thusiasm to spread among the boys, and several pairs of boxing gloves have been ate chamber those posted on the repub- Mean aide, rivairy has shown itself in many competitions, and it was quite natural that when the boys took up boxing the spirit of contention should cause fac- tons to clash over the fistic merits of the two sides. So what. with boasting and and betting, the boys wrought up to a pitch of excitement, could allay but a genuine passage oe So, after numerous coun- cells, it was led that each side should select a champion and that a mill should be Senate fought under Queensbury rules with amendments. The Champion Chosen. The democratic boys, after a little sparring among themselves, chose Master J. Jolly Jones, jr., as their representative, and the republican lads pinned their colors to the sleeve of Master Blair. Each boy selected his seconds and bottle holders and both agreed upon @ young committee clerk, who is interested in athletics, as referee and timekeeper. The fight took place about ten days ago in one of the basement rooms. There were no ropes, no sawdust, none of paraphernalia of the prize . The id of erg factions ghee ed the walls and served as ropes ding, to ki the pugilists from bruising themecives. se Six-ounce gloves were tied on the bantam figts, the referee gave his instructions to the boys and finally gave them the word. The fight that followed would defy the in- genuity of a veteran sport to describe with accuracy and justice. There was little sci- ence and much hard, solid slugging. Fouls that would forfeit a championship flashed before the confused vision of the referee by the dozen, but he soon saw that his chief function, beyond holding the watch, was to keep the boys from clinching and growing too earnest. He had little to do, however, for, before the first round, which lasted two minutes and a half, was half over it be- came apparent that Jones was hitting the harder blows, and, accidents, would easily win. Indeed, he saw his own advan- tage, ana forced the fighting so nard that when the time was called he had his op- ponent well whipped. refused to re- spond when the second round was called, and Jolly was declared the victor. In Supreme Court Circles. This bit of experience made the boys of both sides very much concerned over the problem of how to fight the whole world to @ finish, and their talk was not long in reaching the ears of the nine pages of the Supreme Court. Certain intimations as to the strength of young Jolly’s right arm were spread abroad and there were hints dropped that the young man could defend the championship of the Capitol against all comers, with especial emphasis on the Su- preme Court. Under these conditions it was not difficult for the sporting members of the two governmental concerns to ar- range a bout, and, as before, young Jolly was put in training and the Supreme Court pages selected one of their number, Ewing by name, to do battle for the belt. This fight took place last Wednesday in the same place and under the same auspices as the first one. The two boys, when divested of their coats and vests, were exactly of the same size and height. They each weighed about 110 pounds, and when stand- ing together were almost an exact match in every particular. A Lively Bout. The first round was fierce, and the lit- tle feliows poked their gloves into each other's faces with force, if not much sci- ence. At the end of the first round it was nip and tuck as to which was the better. Jolly seemed to be taking things easy and his opponent still had a calm confidence that he would be able to put his combat- ant’s head in chancery, if not in the Su- Preme Court, When time was called for the second round both boys were eager to go ahead, and began to land some pretty stiff blows. The referee—the same as in the other fight—was dancing around to keep pace with the lively little men, and the boys standing around the walls’ were shouting their encouragements to the wear- ers of the gloves. It was an exciting mo- ment. Each boy had landed about twenty blows on the other when young Jolly saw a good chance for his knock-out. Ewing was off his guard for a moment, and with a flash the young Senator's right had flash- ed in an upper-cut, aed the youthful jurist sprawled on the floor. “One, two, three, four—" the referee was counting the seconds. The representative of the highest court t= the land was on his hands and knees. 4 re, six, seven—" of the judiciary was corner. “Eight, nie—” he was fumbling with his Gloves as he crawled. “Ten!” He had reached the corner, had freed bis hands from the gloves, and sat in his chair, struggling with his fellows, who were imploring him not to give up the nght so soon, li ‘s needless to say that there is not a proujer young man on American soil than the young champion of the north end of the Capitol. He is now after wider honors, and his mates are busy arranging a mii between him and the best boy that the House pages can put in the field. This match is to take place within a few days, and its outcome will be watched by both Senators and members. It il _not be the lirst time that there has been a fierce strug- gle between the two houses of Congress, and each side is making bets and bragging hard over the probabilities. the juvenile member crawling toward his ene a a The Chameleon Craze in Boston.

A large number of the dealers seen promis- ed to comply with the request, save one, who says the sale of chameleons is a legiti- mate business, and that he intends to con. tinue it. Where the reptile is used for legit rate purposes the society offers no pro- test. Yesteniay the following statement was sent from the society's headquarters: “The American chameleon is said to have a keen relish for the ctmex lecturalis, a- certain w blood-sucking insect, the terror “ot cleanly housewives. The suggestion is made that while some lizard wearers are only gratifying a barbaric taste, others may be using these chameleons to help them get rid of offensive and abhorred insects.” eee Sweden’s Grentest Actress Dead.
