AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Putting the West. End Schools in Good Ropar A Pleasant Birthday Affair—Died 5S: denly Last Nigh.—Other News of Interes: When the next session begins George- town will have a building devoted solely to the needs of the West End High School students. The moving of the graded classes, who have occupied it since its construc- ton in 1876, has been accomplished grad- vally. Last year all had been removed but one eighth grade class. This has at last been accommodated in the Addison build ing on P street. Curtis butiding has ac- commodations for 600 students. There are twelve class rooms. It is the oldest. brick school building in the West End and was erected with money borrowed from the custodians of the Linthicum free school fund, largely through the instrumentality of the late W. W. Curtis, after whom it was named. Its cost was about $40,000. It was the original home of the Linthi- cum Institute, and it still contains the Peabody library, the gift of the philan- thropist to the Georgetown people. Curtis building is .being provided. with an entirely new steam-heating system since the doors were closed on. commence- ment day. About $1,200 will be expended on it. The apparatus is a tl h one end will affect every corner of the building. For some years back cold days have made it often uncomfortable in Curtis. New stairways are Also being provided throughout, the frame ones being replaced with slate and iron. THE EVENING STAR, All the basement floors are being renewed and other miscellaneous improvements made. ~ A Birthday. Yesterday was the birthday of Mr. Morris Walmer. It was also the anniversary of the nativity of both his mother and father. This being rer embered by the family’s host of friends a big surprise party at the Wal- mer residence was the result. It was given young Mr. Walmer directly and to his father and mother Incidentally. By 9 o’clock the house had become a gathering place for one of the merr.est crowds that ever congre- gated. Some of those present were Mr. Geo. Giles, Mrs. Giles, Mr. E. H. Harmer, Mrs. Harmer, Mr. D. F. Dunberth, Mrs. Dun- berth, Mr. Geo. Morrison, Mrs. Jack, Mrs. Brow! Mrs. Lawton, Mrs. H.

H. Parsons, Mr. Geo, Potter, Mr. William Ballard, Mr. William Poston, Mr. William Sebastian, Mr. Tom Beller and Mr. Herman Schultz. On behalf of the ladies Prof. Ogle made Mr. Walmer an ap- propriate sift. Refreshments were brought im abundance. Heber Tent. The membership of Heber Tent, No. 19, Independent Order of Rechabites, turned cut In force last evening to celebrate the twenty-sixth anniversary of their organiza- tion. They had for their guests the mem- bers of Faith Tent (female) and H. Hudson Tent Gunior). The history of the tent from August 11, 1S67,. to.

The house was crowded to the doors, and the standing room sign was posted long before the curtain went up. The play was “Two Old Cronies,” incidental to which a number of first-class vaudeville artists contributed new and pleasing acts. The “Two Old Cronies” is a musical farce-comedy of con- siderable merit. Last night was the first performance of the season, and there were fome rusty places, but the show went smocthly enough, and put everyone in good humor. There {s a host of pretty gi With abbreviated and dazzling costumes. Frank M. Wills and Wm. T. Bryant take the leading roles and are clever. The spe- clalties included Miss Madeline Marshall, Royal Star Quartet, Ray Vernon, Swin- burns and Howard, Oreon Trio, Fulton Bros. and Ed Warren, Burt Hart, W. T. Bryant and Frank M. Wills. The perform- ance concludes with the living pictures, which must be seen to be appreciated. In the summer garden Miss Clara Beckwith, the water queen, gives her highly enter- taining aquatic exhibition. Again tonight. Entertainment and Camp Fire.—Tomor- row evening the Old Guard and the Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps wiil commence, for three nights, a joint entertainment and camp fire at Dr, Jameson's grounds in Park strect near 14th street, Mt. Pleasant. Every night there will be an excellent pro- gram, and there will be ice cream other refreshments in abundance. On the last night there will be realistic camp scenes of army life, in which many comrades will participate. — Not juste! Charles Stewart and Emily Stewart, a middle-aged white couple, were before Jus- tice Taylor this morning charged with be- ing vagrants. They were arrested on Sth street last evening, and the officer sald that he found them begging. They owen as though they were poor, but they look: decent, and as though they had seen bet- ter days. Stewart told a pretty straight story. He said that he and his wife were from Philadelphia, and that they been out in Chicago to the world’s fair, and were on their way home. Of tourse, he didn’t have very much money or they would have gone right throt on the tratn. It was their intention, he to get out of town as soon as possible. “Are you a member of either branch of the industrial army?” asked the judge. “Hardly. I've got thore sense than that. I am a working man who Is really on the Icokout for work.” Their personal bonds were taken on con- dition that they would leave town within the next twenty-four hours. ——— Looking for a Son, The Commissioners’ mail this morning brought a pathetic letter from a mother away off in Calffornia. She was inquiring about her boy, the eldest of eight, who had left home to seek his fortune in the great world. His name is Charles Henry Blas- il. The last she heard from him was in She heard, however, that he had joined Coxey’s army and came to Washing- ton, Concluding, she says: “I would like to find cut if he Is alive. If he ig dead or among those who are in rison I should like to know. A child four- een years can very easily be led astray, and he has always been raised to be good, honest, truthful and a Christian. But now- adays the influence 1g very strong for boys to be led on the downward track. If-you can find out anything atout my dear ‘son will you be kind enovgh to let me know? If he ts dead, where buried, so that I may get his remains and bury them here. Please answer and relieve’a troubled mind.” The letter has been sent to the police for 2 read by Bro. R. E. Smith. Chief Ruler Wm. Lenz made a neat address. Remarks were made by Bro. Thos. B. Marche, who called to memory the good work done by this tent in Georgetown. Remarks were also made by Bro. Trexerler, an original member of Reber Tent; also by Bro. Wm. Marche and by Sister Lowe of Faith Tent. A cornet solo was given by Bro. Ed. Hanshew. Re- freshments were served in abundance, and at a late hour the tent adjourned, well pleased with the celebration. Died Saddenty. Mrs. Rosanna Pomfrey, for several years an inmate of the Aged Woman's Home, 1255 82d street, died suddenly at midnight. She had been to Anacostia in the afternoon, and had returned apparently benefited by the trip. She retired as usual. About 12 o'clock an occupant of the next room heard a severe coughing outside of her door in the yard and the hydrant rufning. She got up and saw Mrs. Pomfrey stagger toward her from the running spigot.

The meeting was well attended last evening, the new president, Mrs. Gen. R. D. Mussey, being Mm the chair. Much in- teresting business was transacted and plans laid for the work of the coming year, In connection with the reports as to the finan- cial success of the delightful lawn party recently given by the legion much appre- ciation was expressed of the generous re- rponse made by the Old Guard to the invi- tation given them, with other organizations of the city, nearly every member of the Guard being present. The legion decided to reciprocate and to attend In a body the Guards’ lawn party to be given this week en Friday night, August 17. As many members and their families as can will assemble at Legion Hail at 7 o'clock, pro- ceeding from thence to the grounds, where others will be in waiting, so as to enter tcgether. oo Menaces to Health.

Mr. Harris Indigmant at the Hold- Back Policy of the Housc—Only Just Claims, An echo of the Ford Theater disaster was heard in the Senate yesterday afternoon, Just before the sundry civil bill was sent back to a further conference between the two houses. Senator Harris, the chairman of the select committee for the investiga- tion of the claims arising from that acci- dent, asked Mr. Cockrell whether the disa- greement upon the appropriation of $105,000 to pay the established death claims was upon the principle of granting relief at all or as to the amount of the relief to which the Senate had agreed. Mr. Cockrell an- Swered: “The disagreement Is first on the principle that if we recognize this Mability it will make the government Hable in cases of accident to railway mail employes, etc., and extend the principles of lability of the government to its employes beyond any- thing that has ever been done. The House conferees have urged also that the House has had no opportunity to investigate and consider the matter. Then they object in one or two instances where they think there were no relatives so near to the de- ceased as to entitle them to any compen- sation that might be paid. They are very stubborn in their opposition to this appro- priation.” Mr. Harris replied with a most indignant speech, in which he upheld the principle that the government Is Hable for the loss of life and the injuries caused by the fall of the 10th street building. He declared that the sufferers in the railway mail serv- {ce or any other government service bear no sort of parallel to the present case. “The government owned the Ford Theater,” he said. “The government placed 500 or 600 of its employes there to perform their offi- cial duties. The government undertook to change that structure and by reason of that undertaking, and in its execution, the building collapsed and a number of men were killed instantly by the disaster, A number of other employes were more or less seriously injured, and many of them very seriously. “I shall not undertake to assert that there would not be a legal lability under exact- ly the same facts occurring between em- ploye and employer if they were private in- dividuals and could sue each other, but I need not assert the legal Hability that ex- ists for the injuries thus sustained. Wheth- er there be a legal lability or not, no fair-minded man can hesitate to believe and act upon the opinion that there ts the highest order of equity in favor of a fair and reasonable compensation for the in- juries sustained by reason of that accident. The committee of which I have the honor to be the chairman are uanimously of that opinion, without the shadow of doubt or dissent. “As to the amount of compensation in the death cases, there may be margin for dif- ferences of opinion, but that a fair and reasonable measure of compensation is de- manded by every consideration of equity and justice, no fair-minded man can doubt, in my opinion. From the unfortunate po- sition that I occupy as chairman, I am the recipient of the statements of the suffering widows and crphans whose husbands and fathers were killed In that disaster. Most of them today are suffering in penury and want. Delay Is exceedingly hurtful, if it may not be even more fatal than hurtful. ‘The Senate amendment merely provides for the death cases. The cases of injury re- quire a much larger scope and a more ac- curate investigation than where the persons were killed upon the instant. Therefore,the committee reported an amendment and ask- ed the commfttee on appropriations to in- corporate the appropriations to provide for the widows and orphans of the persons who were killed there. In respect to the Injured parties, the committee proposed to scrutinize and carefully investigate, and finally determine according to their honest Judgment what measure of compensation should be granted in each individual case. This much I ‘have deemed it due to the posttion I hold to say to the Senate, and having said it I hope our conferees will give it such weight as in their judgment they think fair, reasonable and right.” There was no further discussion of this matter and the bill was sent to confer- ence with the item still In dispute. — DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

The strect nomenclature of Washington is acknowledged to be cne of the finest in the world, Outside of the city limits, how- ever, the condition is chaotic. Many Schemes have been devised, but nothing has yet been done toward unraveling the tangle. Prof. William B. Carr of this ty has given this subject considerable attention, and writes thus to the Commissioners: “I take the liberty of inviting your at- tention to a few thoughts in reiation to the ndmenclature of the streets of Washington. The system of names for the streets of a city 1s a matter deserving a good measvre of care and thought. Names once applied are not easily and satisfactorily changed. The question involves the convenience alike of young and old, of rich and poor, of the learned and the unlearned, the permanent dweller end the occasiortal visitor. The raticnal capital is pre-eminently fortunate in having the simplest, and, for that rea- Son, the best, street nomenclature ever devised. This remark is rot designed to embrace its avenues, upon whose names, however, no reflection shall be cast; but it is intended to apply only and with all the force and emphasis of which the words are susceptible both to the numbered streets that run from the river northward and to the lettered ones. whose direction is east and west. The ease and brevity with which any point within the city’s mits may be uttered or written, whether in the interest of business or of pleasure, of trade or of society, is simply urapproachable by any other system than that which thus far ob- tains in this city. To the position thus far taken there will assuredly be no negative. It may be safely assumed that there is a general and almost universal desire that, if possible, this same simplicity in desig- nath the city's thoroughfares may be ob- served and continued. Your correspondent maintains, and hopes to be able to show in a few words, that this same simple system can be carried onward and outward to an indefinite limit. There is, of course, no trouble with the numerals; the system al- ready in use cun and should go out to the clty’s utmost eastern aud western limits; and-no doubt it will. But how shall we name the new streets running east and west after the alphabet, with its twenty- five accepted characte! shall have be- come exhausted? Let us, at this point, pause a moment and learn a lesson from the musician, the plano maker and the organ builder, all of whom use only the first seven letters of the alphabet, though they have to name many times that num- ber of notes, keys and pipes. The first twenty-five sheets present no difficulty. Let us name the second series of twenty- five streets (with a very slight departure from the language of the music men), 2 A, 2 B, 2 C, &c., to be read, not twice A, nor yet double A (as the organist does), but simply ‘two A,’ meaning a second A, the first of a second series of twenty-five streets; then, of course, the third series of twenty-five streets will be called 3 A, 3 B, 3 °C, &c. Subjoined find a brief table of streets, running and to run E. their proposed designations: twenty-five are, as at present, A, B, C, D, &c. The second twenty-five will become 2A, 2 B, 2.C, 2D, &c. The third twenty- five will become 3 A, 3B, 3 C, 3D, &c.
