Let us supply | bearer AND PARKS Points Discussed by Northeast Citi- zens’ Association Last Night. WR. FRIZZELL DOESN'T WANT FRICTION | Opposed to Granting Permission for Further Railroad Sidings. A CHAIN OF PARKS The proposed route of the Baltimore and Ohio railroed and the manner of construct- ing its tracks, the assessment bill pending before Congress and the proposed chain of parks, were the principal matters to at- tract the attention of the citizens of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion at the regular monthly meeting of the | association held last night. After the read- | ing and approval of the minutes of the last meeting President Frizzell turned over the chair to Mr. Evan H. Tucker, as he desired to speak on the several questions men- tioned. The first matter called for discussion was the report of the committee from the com- mittees on assessments and apportionment of appropriations. This committee was ap- pointed for the purpose of looking after the assessment bill and the report as read reads as follows: “The subcommittee, composed of W. J. | Frizzell, Rev. D. N. Seymour, S. Sower- butts, W. C. Miller and Evan H. Tucker, has reported that on the 23d instant they had a conference with Hon. J. E. Cobb, chairman of the subcommittee of the House of Representatives which has this bill un- | der consideration, and carefully reviewed the bill by sections, making suggestions as outlined by the report. After thanking your subcommittee for the suggestions Judge Cobb stated that he would place the ; Matter before the full committee at a special meeting on the 26th instant, at/ | Which the amendments presented would be | given due consideration. The meeting was attended by your subcommittee, the board {of trade and the East Washington Citi- zens’ Association, which organizations were | ably represented. In view of the [act that the report and amendments were already | before the committee and that the essen- | tial points had been thoroughly explained | by a gentleman representing the East | | Washington Citizens" Association, the | time allotted to citizens for remarks being limited, your subcommittee refrained from | making any statement except to submit a | written statement and concur in the re-j} marks of the representative of the East | Washington Association.” Doesn’t Want Friction. Concerning this matter Mr. Frizzell told }of the appearance of the members of the subcommittee at the Capitol on Friday of last week, as published in The Star at the time. “The members of our committee,” he said, “made no effort to have the bill pre- sented to the congressional committee or have action taken by the committee. Sev- {eral gentlemen of the board of trade and East Washington Asscciation were pres- ent. All we had to do was to urge the adoption of the bill presented by the board of trade, with a few amendments. That | was all we did, and certainly we did not want to create any friction. Right here I | want to disavow any such intention or | making any such effort. This is a serious question and some people think that the board of ‘rade should dominate in this as it has in other matters. In this we will | certainly join issue, but we will work with } them in any matter conducive to the in- terests of the citizens of every ‘section. “We want no friction,” he concluded. The report of the committee was there- upon adopted. Pending Legislation. Mr. Evan H. Tucker, chairman of the committee on proposed legislation, made the following report: “Your committee on proposed legislation | by Congress have the honor to respectfully } report in regard to the bill to define the | route of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in | the District of Columbia, and for other pur- | poses, which was drawn by your committee, | and is now pending in Congress, that there have been six hearings on this question by | the committee on District of Columbia of the House of Representatives, at all of which your committee was represented by a sub-committee, members of which made addresses, and statements which seemed to | engage the full attention of the coimittee. “Your committee had the able assistance jin the matter of Gen. Wm. Birney ‘and Mr. Wm. C. Dodge, who gave it the benefit of | their knowledge and experience. Capt. | Chas. F. Powell, the Engineer Commisston- | er, also rendered valuable assistance by | furnishing drawings and estimates for the j vse of this committee, all information now being before the committee of the House of Representatives. Your committee expect a | report to be made to that body in a few days, after which the committee will en- | deavor to present the matter to the hauped c.mmittee, to which the bill has been re- , at an carly date. “Your committee also have the honor to} report In reference to the question of open- | ing reservation No. 201, situated between Delaware avenue and Ist street and G and H streets northeast, for a public park, | which was brought to the attention of the association by a resolution adopted on | March 29, 1894, .d referred to this com- mittee; that it is the opinion of your com- mittee from information at hand that said | reservation is now, and has been for a long | | time, unlawfully occupied by the Baltimore | and Ohio Railroad Company, and used by taid company without any authority what- | ever; that said company holds this reserva- tion only by sufferance, and can be com- pelled to vacate the same at any time. Your committee is endeavoring, however, to | procure such further information as wiil establish the true status of the question, and have addressed a communication to the | Commissioners for that purpose. Your com- mittee recommends, in view of the fact | that by the provisions of the bill now pend- ing in Congress the tracks now occupying this reservation will be removed, that while effort should be continued to procure all in- formation possible bearing upon this sub- ject, it would be Injudictous to compel sald rallroad company to vacate said reservation jat this time, and that the question of the opening of the reservation be held in abey- ance pending action on said bill.” Several members spoke in behalf of the report, which was adopted. Chain of Parks. At the last meeting a committee repre- senting the Langdon and Winthrop Heights | associations, as well as the Northeast | Washington Association, was appointed to report on the question of proposed parks, and Mr. Barnes submitted this report as follows: “The undersigned, a joint committee rep- resenting the three associations of the DANGERS OF DRESS. How Men and Women Run Great Risks During the Summer in the Way They Are Clothed. Few people think at this time of the year of| the great importance of dress. In the winter people dress warmly because they know {t is 2 necessity, but im the summer, when | | it is hot, they go to the other extreme and even | dress too lightly. Hot weather causes people to juse Ught clothing; but suddenly the wind changes, the air becomes chilly, and a cold ts pretty cer-| tain to be the result. Now, where most people make & mistake {s in } not guarding against these sudden changes quickly | }aud im time. Ay man or woman who has or a light sult of clothing, and feels a change which | brings @ chill, should at once counteract the chill. | Tits can only be done by the use of some pure stimulant, not gingers or hot drinks, but a pure! medicinal whisky that will refresh the cause the blood to circulate, and bring about tm- mediate reaction. ‘There is but one medicinal | whisky that will do this, and that is Dufty’s Pure Malt. It has for twenty years accomplished what has never beea “known before im counteracting the | first symptoms of sudden colds and preventing the | | possibility Of pneumonia, fevers and all the dis- tressing complaints which follow any cold. It should be remembered, however, that Duffy's Pure Malt is the only whisky which will cer- tainly accomplish this, and, however uiuch deai- | kins, ers may talk to the contrary, it alone should be | taken. moyl5 northeast section of the District, having had under consideration the locations of public reservations in the northeast sec- tion, respectfully report, having reached the following conclusions, which are sub- mitted for approval of our respective as- sociations before being presented to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia: “We indor: the plan of providing a chain of parks or reservations, which shall be connected by a well-constreuted road- way or drive from the Soidiers’ Home to the reclaimed flats of the Eastern branch of the Potomac. We recommend that the site of old Fort Saratoga, situated at the junction of the Queen’s Chapel and Brent- wood roads and midway between the grow- ing suburbs of Brookland and J.angdon, be selected as a small park (say of ten or twelve acres); from this point via Queen's Chapel road, Galveston, 24th streets and Bladensburg road, the tract known as Mount Hamilton could easily be reached, where, from the 106 acres contained in said tract, a magnificent park of seventy to eighty acres should be located. We recom- mend that this be left in its wildwood con- dition, where people could roam and chil- dren could play at will. From here one or more roadways could be laid out to reach any part of the Anacostia flats when reclaimed and landscaped and by con- tracting the river’s bed inexpensive bridges could be constructed and communication with the farther side of the river be easily established. “We also recommend that the square of ground in Trinidad now known as ‘Hol- brook Terrace’ be reserved for permanent use as a public park. These grounds are all well situated on high ground and at present are without improvements, and could doubtless be secured at very reasona- ble prices for the uses suggested. The line of travel from the Soldiers’ Home all the way through this chain of proposed | reservations can easily follow the public| highways now provided, and at the several | angles smaller rks could be laid out, so as to relieve the route of abrupt turns, and we believe would furnish this quarter of the District with substantial and beneti- cent system of breathing spots for the people at the very minimum of cost to the government.” Members of the different associations spoke on the report, which was adopted, Railroad Sidings. Mr. Tucker then offered a resolution con- cerning a pending bill giving the railroad | company power to lay switches from its line on Delaware avenue, as follows: “Whereas a bill has been introduced in Congress, known as Senate bill 2022, provid- ing for and granting the privilege to lay and maintain a side track from the Balti- | more and Ohio railroad on Delaware avenue into certain lots in square No. 720, and whereas by tue provisions of a bill now pending in Congress, wnich has been in- dorsed by this association and approved by the Commissioners of the District of Co-! lumbla, all tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in Washington city not pro- Vided tor by said bill shall be removed; “Therefore, be it resolved, That this asso- ciation is unalterably opposed to the said bill and any other measure the provisions of which are Inconsistent with provisions of | said bill which has been indorsed by this association.” { This resolution was heartily approved by every member of the association, and the | chair referred it to the committee in charge of such matters. Several nuisances in the form of pools of | stagnant water were reported and referred | to the sanitary committee, and the question of making the railroad tracks comply with | the grade at Massachusetts avenue was dis- cussed, Before the meeting adjourned President | Frizzell remarked that several members of the congressional committees wouid proba- | bly visit Northeast Washington this week and look over the present line of the rail- road tracks. —_~-. EXCURSIONS TOMORROW. How the Day Can Be Pleasantly Spent by Rail or Boat. There was once a time when the 30h of May was the most sorrowful day in the | American calendar, and its flowers were | scattered in silence and sadness over the tombs of the nation's heroes; but time, which softens all things,*has worn away the bitterness of grief, as it has of rancor, and while Decoration day has lost none of its sweet pathos, it is becoming more and more the occasion of the first outing of the year on the part of the people who are cooped up in cities. In this vicinity the ex- cursion season is regarded as being formally opened on Memorial day, and tomorrow a number of delightful opportunities will be offered for the dwellers in the dusty streets to find pleasure and reinvigoration in many different directions, The always popular steamers, the Macal- ester and Kiver Queen, will make voyages to the tomb of Washington at Mount Ver- non and will give their passengers a chance | te spend many enjoyabie hours at famous | Marshall Hall. A giance at the attractive | advertisement in another column will give | the time schedule of the boats and other information of interest to prospective ex- cursionists, The day will be celebrated at River View in a gala way and there will be dancing all| day in the commodious pavilion. The steam- | ers Samuel J. Pentz and Harry Randall will | make frequent trips to and from the de- | lightful resort at hours suitable to the con- venience of every one. Those who want to get a sniff of salt | Water will have the opportunity to do so| by taking the steamer T. V. Arrowsmith, | which will leave the 7th street wharf to- morrow morning at 9 o'clock for Colonial | Beach. It may be a little cold for bathing, but the resort is famous for fishing and crabbing, and a large crowd will doubtless go down. Nelson Division of the Uniformed Rank, Krights of Pythias, will give an excursion tomorrow to Pen Mar over the Pennsyl- vania railroad, the round trip fare being price. The train will leave the Gth street | depot at 8:30 a.m., and will return in time for early supper. There are few such beau- tiful and picturesque spots as Pen Mar, and as the mourtain scenery is now at its best the lovers of nature will find a rare treat in store for them. This evening at 6 o'clock the steamer Lady of the Lake will leave on an excur- sion for Norfolk, returning Thursday morning, for which’ the round trip fare has been reduced to $2. There will also be an excursion over the B. and O. R. R. tomorrow to Arundel-oi the-Bay, the train leaving the New Jers avenue station at 8:30 a.m., and large num- bers of persons will, no doubt, take the delightful trip to Mount Vernon afforded | by the Pennsylvania R. R. and the Wash- | ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon elec- tric railway. —_—_>—. MARTYN COLLEGE. Attractive Commencement Exerrises at the Academy of Music Last Night. The commencement exercises of Marty College took place last night at the Acad-| emy of Music, It was a pay audience, and every seat was occupied. The program was an entertaining one, and showed that the pupils of the college have reached a goodly degree of excellence in their work. The first number of the bill was a Shaftesbury drill by a number of young ladies robed in Greek gowns. This gave complete satisfac- tion to the audience, and was loudly ap- plauded. The next thing in the nature of entertainment was the annual address, de- livered this year by Mr. William E. Mow- rer. His speech showed carefui preparation and satisfactory results. It contained a good deal of worthy advice, and was well! said. Miss May Carrigan recited “Old Day- light vs. Dim Lightning,” a descriptive race piece, and evoked enthusiasm. The Ralston School of Physical Culture gave an exhibition of graceful athletics. Miss Abbie Johnson was in charge of this branch of the program. Part No. 1 of the program was closed by Edna R. Edgerly reciting “Gladys and the Echo.” Mr. Harry P. Wil- kins declaimed “The Suicide” with due et-| fect, and Miss Abbie Johnson recited “Laughter.” The comedy, ‘Triumphs of Theosophy,” was presented with a capable! cast, as follows: Mr. B. Frank Alden, Miss Robin M. Sharpe, Miss May Carrigan, Mr. | F. C. Gideon, Miss McNaughton and’ Miss Evelyn Certer. Recitations by Miss Zue H. Brochett and Mrs. Lulu C. Rober:s fol- lowed. The comedy, “Country Cousins,” came next, and this was presented Gideon, Miss Marie McNaugiton, Mr. Miss imitation of an old-fashioned det given by Rev. C. C. Morkart, M Alden and J. C. Lewis. “The Mode-n ciety Drama” was given by Miss McNaugh- | ton, Mr. Wilkins, Miss Sharp, ond the come’ ‘Sam Slick,” by Julia Stevins and Mr. von. Two scenes from “Dr. Jc and Mr. Hyde” were given by Mr. Franklin J. Miller and Mr. Cherles A. Harbaugh. The piay, “Fate of Tyranny,” was presented by @ cast of twenty persons. Mrs. Lulu Cox Boberts, Mr. J. C. Lewis and Mr. Wilkins sustained the leading parts. The Academy Orchestra, under Prof. Arth, furnished the music. $ THE NAMB INDICATES, HALL'S VBEGE- table Sicilian Hair Renewer is a renewer of the hair, ip ug its growth, health, youthful color and beauty.

Senators Lost Another Game at Bos- ton. Petty was given the most wretched sup- Port in the game at Boston yesterday after- noon and the Senators lost what should have been an easy victory. It is claimed that defeat was due to a questionable de- cision by Umpire Stage, but eleven errors by Washington to two by Boston, and but four earned runs to the credit of the cham- pions, make that statement rather indi- gestible. Every man on the Washington team with the exception of “Roaring Bill” Hasamaear and Petty contributed to the error column. In the sixth inning the score stood 10 to 8 in favor of Manager Schmelz’s men, but in the seventh the home team batted out six runs and followed it an inn- ing later with four more, which settled mat- ters pretty conclusively.

We were booked to play two games in Philadelphia, but the rain pre- vented us from playing any, and it looks as if we might have a taste of the same thing here. = “Our men are in first-class condition.

We have played good ball against every club we have met, and the Bostons must acknowledge this, so far as they are concerned. “A tail-end club will always get the worst of it, and suffer a good deal from this handicap.” Base Ball Notes. The western series will be inaugurated at National Park this afternoon, with Louis- ville as the visitor Joe Sullivan has been given a ten days’ notice of release. Pitcher Otis Stocksdale of the Washington Club, who has been suffering with inflam- matory rheumatism, has had a relapse as a result of the recent wet weather. Last Week he was again confined to his bed. The Pittsburg Club has signed William Merritt, the ex-Boston catcher. Every league club is scheduled to play | two games to morrow. The Pittsburg players returned home from Cleveland, making strong complaints against the treatment they received in| Cleveland. The Washington club is just now going through the experience that the Phillies did in ‘83 and ‘St Ishmael himself never stacked up against a harder game than the | Senators are encountering at the present | writing.—Philadelphia Press, | In the Louisville team will be found Matt Kilroy, Larry Twitchell and Danny Rich- ardson of Washington's 1892 team, the best | team Washington ever had; Jerry Denny, | the king of third basemen; Tom Brown, the best base runner in the ‘business; Fred Pfeifer, for years Anson's right bower and | the best second baseman Chicago ever had; All America team in its tour around the world; Tim O'Rourke, the heavy hitter whom Manager Schmelz recently tried to secure—all these are familiar to the patrons of the national game. Pennsylvania Loses to Brown. Brown defeated the University of Penn- sylvania in an eleven-inning game on Lincoln Field, Providence, yesterday. The score was 9 to 7. Up to the ninth inning the game belonged to the University of Pennsylvania, but Cook was hit by aj pitched ball and took first. George and White went out, and Lowney knocked a single, allowing Cook to score.

Yale and Georgetown played an exciting game at New Haven yesterday, and the blue just pulled the victory, 4 to 3, by the great work of Capt. Case, who hit safely and stole second, third and home, making the winning run. Georgetown beat Yale early in the season, and there was business in the air yesterday. Dowd pitched a great game for Georgetown, striking out eleven men, while Carter was steadier. Both teams fielded sharply, but Yale's work was not as clean as her opponents’. ‘The features of the game were two long | throws from left by Speer, cutting off two men at the home plate, and a one-handed catch by Carmody. Georgetown had the lead in the ninth, and with two men out and two strikes Greenway made a hit and got home, tying the score.

The opposition proved so strong to the L street cross-town bill in the House yester- day afternoon that Mr. Richardson was constrained to withdraw the bill from con- sideration, in order that the entire District day might not be lost. After antagonizing the bill in debate until a vote was de- manded on Mr. Richardson's amendment, which was published in The Star, the op- ponents made the point of no quorum on the vote. As there was evidently not a quorum present the bill was withdrawn. Mr. Heard then called up the bill to close the alley in the square occupied by Gon- College, and it was passed. The bill to amend the incorporation of the Washington and Great ‘alls Electric Railway Company was then calied up. Mr. Heard explained that the proposition contained in this bill is to so amend the charter as to get the railway entirely away from the Conduit road. He said the | promoters of the road propose to purchase their own right of way, and to go across to 4th and Prospect streets in Georgetown, and not touch the Conduit road at ail, only when they cross it. The bill was amended by permitting the company to lay its tracks on Prospect street between Sith and 36th street. The section permitting the use of the Tenallytown tracks was also stricken out, and the bill was passed. The District of Columbia Surburban Rail- way bill was called up. This railway pro- proses to enter the city from the Bladens- burg rcad at E street northeast, and pro- ceed thence westward to 4th street, to D street and Louisiana avenue to 7th street. | Mr. Williams of Mississippi offered an amendment striking out the names of the | incorporators of the bill, and providing that | the charter granted by Congress should be sold to the highest bidder. Mr. Williams advocated his amendment in a lengthy speech, and Gen. Sickles of New York in- dorsed it. Mr. Coombs of New York also favored a general provision which would apply to all street railways in the District of Columbia, and during his remarks said: | “When bilis come upon this floor and we jare so persistently pressed to consider ‘ street rafiroads, it excites our suspicions.” | The District committee had been previously | taunted with transacting more street rati- way business than any other kind, and was ® little bit sensitive upon this point any- | bow, so Mr. Coombs’ remark brought Mr. Richardson upon his feet to demand an ex- | planation. Mr. Coombs insisted that he had not in- tended to cast any aspersions upon the members of the District committee, and Mr. Richardson insisted upon being ag- grieved at the remarks of the member from Brooklyn. After a wordy debate upon the matter and renewed assurances upon ihe part of Mr. Coombs that no charge was made agaizst the committee, together with | repeated disavowals by Mr. Richardson of | any motive save consideration for the peo- ple’s interest, the matter was dropped. The House adjourned without action upon the bill. ————— Lacania’s Fast Time.
