KORTHEAST WASHINGTON CITIZENS Other Business Transacted at the Association’s Meeting. RESOLUTIONS OFFERED There was a warm-weather meeting of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Asso- ciation last night, and although the attend- ance was small the association manifested interest in affairs pertaining to Northeast Washington. The first business transacted was the reception of the report ot the special committee appointed to investigate charges made against the Associated Char- ities at the last meeting of the association. Mr.Loring Chappel, chairman of the special committee, presented the report, as follows: “The special committee appointed by the Northeast Washington Citizeas’ Associa- tion to investigate the charges made against the Associated Charities by the George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., most respectfully report that they requested the parties mak- ing the charges to give them the names of the persons who felt aggrieved by the treat- ment which they had received from the Associated Charit The report gives the names of the persons upon whom the members of the committee called, and details what was said, con- cluding: “Your committee have labored to ascertain the real and true condition of this matter, and by going personally to the persons to whom we were referred by those who mad2 the complaint to the association, we fail to find any evicen that the Associated Charities have at any time refused assist- ance or sent the applicant to the Grand Army post or to the churches.” One woman upon whom the committee called said she had been properly treated, and had been given fuel. She had been kindly treated by the members of the As- Sociated Charities and had no complaint to find. Another woman to whom the com- mittee were referred could not be found, nor was there any house such as was des- ignated. Chairman Chappel said he. as Well as other members of the committee, had made an impartial investigation and had utterly failed to find anything detri- mental to the Associated Charities. No Criticinm by the Association. President Tucker said he desired that the public should understand that there was no criticism by the Northeast Washingtou Association of the Associated Charities; that the association had only made an tn- vestigation of a complaint made by the Grand Army post. “This trouble,” said Mr. King, “results from the zssociation mixing with affairs with which it has nothing to do.” He was explaining that he was the only member of the association who objected to having this matter considered by the as- seclation, but his remarks were brought to a close by Mr. Carver, who made a point that he was out of order. This closed the charitles incident, and the association pro- eced 1 to the consideration of its regular -usine ‘The railroad business was then called up. Chairman W. J. Frizzell of the committee en proposed legislation presented a report showing the progress of the work, as fol- ws: The Railroad Report. “Ycur committee on proposed legislation by Congress, to whom was referred Senate bill No. 9, ‘To provide for the elevation of the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad In the city of Washington, and for ether purposes,” respectfully report: Af- ter a cons m by the members of your committee, it was thecght that the sub- ject was of sufficient importance to be of interest to the citizens of Washington gen- erally, aside from its special importance to this association. We therefore concluded at it would be proper to have a confer- ence with the railroad committee of the board of trade. Accordingly, a conference was held on the afternoon of April 14 ul- timo, at which were present Chairman Frank Hume and Messrs. C. B. Church, T. A. La Samuel riden and W. J. Frizzell of the board of trade, and Pre: dent Tu Rev. C. € pie, Dr. E. Gallaudet and W. J. Frizzell of your com mittee. “After a full and free conference tt was unanimously acreed to use cur seeparate and jcint influence to have the Lill amend- ed in its first section so as to provide for only one visduct within the city, which should be confined to Delaware avenue, so that the junction of the two branches of the railroad could be formed at or near the intersection of Delaware avenue with New York avenue extended, and thence to follow such lines as may be cheapest in construction end most economical in time and running expenses. The bill being also found to almost completely ignore the offi- cial cognizarce of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and to give in many cases exclusive autFority to the rail- road compeny in respect of changing and readjusting grades of streets and many other essentials, with an occasicnal grant of pierary power to the Secretary of W ar and a rescrvation of temporary authority by the congressional ccmmittees on the District of Columbia, we thought tt condu- elve to the interests of all our citizens that our immediate lawfully corstituted author- itles sould be potential factors In the ad- ministration of this law.* We therefore agreed to recommend such amendments as would bring the Commissioners in close with all the interested parties. We also agreed to recommend that in line 24, on page the word ‘east’ be changed to ‘west,’ so that In closing Ip street, Delaware avenue will not be closed also, and that all that part of the bill di- recting that E street be closed be stricken out. Also that section 8 be so amended as to require that all surface tracks within the y shall be removed immediately after the cempletion of the viaduct, and that the time for completing the work be limited to four years instead of six. On the day fol- lewing the conference the joint committee walted upon the District Commissioners and were most cordially received. They save us an extended hearing and impressed s that they were strong in the belief that cur recommendations were within the lines of what they considered just and right and practicable. “We have seen within the past few days an account fn the newspapers that the con- onal committees, the District Com- oners and the railroad officials met in ‘fh lelphia last Tuesday and examined models of the proposed viaduct, etc. In this account it is claimed that a ‘difference of seventy-five feet in grades precludes a junction outside the city limit, and that such grade will impede the speed of a train fifteen minutes. The topographical maps do not sustain the contention as to grades, at at Delaware and Florida avenues being 5 feet above datum, and at 9th street and Florida avenue, 60.40, a difference of and 70 feet at Ivy City station and &: eet at the point of junction as proposed on the street extension map, showing a rise of 15 feet In a distance of about one mile.

Mr. H. H. Martin offered a resolution ask- ing that. the association recommend that section 81 of the police regulations be amended, so as to provide that it shall be unlawful for any person to set in motion, run, or operate any train or rallroad car or Iccomotive on, or over, any grade crossing or intersection of steam railroad tracks with streets, avenues or roads where there is no flagman to operate the safety gates and otherwise warn the public of danger. Mr. Miller offered a resolution asking that a suitable crossing be laid across the Balti- more and Ohio railroad at 6th street, and that the necessary safeguards be put there by the railroad company. Other matters of minor importance were discussed, including small improvements. During the discussion President Tucker was asked what had become of certain bills, including the dollar gas bill, and he re- sponded that they had been killed in the Senate. A communication was received from the M. M. Parker Lodge of Masons asking that the association send delegates to a_meet- irg to discuss the plan of getting for North- east Washington a large public hall in a building where organizations might have rooms in which to hold meetings. The president appointed three members to act as such a committee, and also appointed a committee to wait on the Commissioners and inform them of the association's plan fer suburban street extensions. In this connection the association will renew its contention for a public park on the present site of Graceland cemetery, and that a boulevard from the Eastern branch to the Scldiers’ Home be provided. President Tucker and Messrs. King and Sowerbutts compose this committee. In connection with the proposed suburban street exten- sions the question of reclaiming the East- ern branch flats came up, and this question will also be urged when the committee calls upon the Commissioners. ——+-—_ BISMARCK AT EIGHTY-ONE. Odd Bits of Humor and Reminiscence From Friedrichsruh. From the New York Sun. Bismarck receives comparatively few strangers now, and consequently the vast number of speeches and interviews which in former years came from Friedrichsruh has dwindied to only an cccasional remark or story. The German purveyor of Bis- marckiana has found his occupation almost gone, although but a year or two age he was able to fill columns with the latest in- formation from the Saxon forest. Here are about all the odds and ends of anecdote that he has been able to gather since the princes eighty-first birthday en April 1: A professor at luncheon with Bismarck about three weeks ago remarked that the prince's special knowledge of mediaeval history and geography was amazing. ‘Oh, yes,"" was the old chancellor's reply; “if I had not loafed so much in my youth and hed only learned to sit more indus- triously in a chair I might have amounted to something.” Bi -k spoke of the German lack of aggressiveness and self-esteem in the da: before the conquest of Austria and Franc He often had feit, he said, that a German never would he ‘able to feel the proper amount of confidence in himself. He had changed his mind, however, after meeting Richard Wagner, ‘the composer. Wagner had enough self-esteem for a whole natio: he was the most conceited German it ever had been his pleasure to talk with, The old chancellor also has told another drinking story, only a little one, to be sure, yet, as a Bismarck drinking story, perhaps worth repeating. He and a neightor of his early manhood had tried a whole afternoon to drink each other under the table. Four bottles each of heavy Rhine wine and five quarts of champagne between them had Vecn emptied before Bismarck had his horse brought to the door and made ready to start for home. His hest called two men to help put him in the saddle, Bis- arck, however, leaped into the saddle un- aided, and started off, erect and fast tn his eat, ON a swift dash down the ro: d. When his hat blew off he turned, rode for it at a gallop, leaned over and snatched it up, ane then, straightening up in his saddle, it to his astonished friend. Bismarck Went back to try to settle the question of stperiority at the cups, but his friend declined the challenge. He said that the hat trick had discouraged him, Schweninger is trying to persuade Bis- marck to go to Kissingen or Gastein next summer. The change, he thinks, would benefit the prince's health. Bismarck, how- ever, Is determined to remain in Friedrichs- uh, ‘The railway journey is tiresome,” he Says; “but, worst of all, I always fear now that some accident may happen to me, and ave come to the point where I feel I die in my own bed and not in a unge land.” Since he ceased to werry over the polit- ical vagaries of the young emperon the prince has grown noticeabl qu rin mind and stronger in boc He is again erect, and strides through the Saxon forest with the vigor of twenty years ugo. His only stimulants now are Bavarian beer and very dry champagne. must st English Women itn Politic From § mer’, The position of English women in polities finds no parallel here outside of the states of Wyoming, Colorado and Kausas. En- glish women vote on every question but the selection of members of parliament. That right ts within sight. Each of the three great parties has a woman's league actively werking with it. Its place is rec- ognized, and certain parts of the canvass, such as house-to-house visiting, is largely in its hand This worl the political secrc-ary organ- izes. She has her district, her subcommit- tes her political methods. In her books she has enroiled the name of every voter in her district, his occupation, his resi- dence, his political affiliations. Of this in- dividual she keeps constant trace. She chases him from lodging house to lodging house. In the record of two years one rest- less person has’ moved his trunk thirteen times, yet her finger was upon him. She visits his wife, pets the children, offers a recipe for a stew, captures the family con- fidence, and all to gain or keep a vote. She holds public meetings once a month in connnection with the masculine organiza- tion and helps to provide entertainment, speakers, or, perhaps, speaks herself. Here is a woman in the thick of machine politics, a new woman, a womn bachelor. She fs little, demure, cherry-cheeked, low- voiced, conventional in manner to the point of preciseness, and with those pretensions to fashionable costuming that Americans recognize as English.

John L., Sullivan is posted on topics other than those of the ring. While seated in a box at a St. Paul theater the other night, something was said about a man making hay while the sun shines and saving up for a rainy day, which caused John to remark: “There's a good ‘eal of rot In all this taik about saving up for a r: guy gave me a lose of to him: ‘What's the use of saving up your money till you're so old you can't hav2 any fun spending it? What's the matter with enjoying it when you're young and can get some good out of it?’ And, speaking of get- ting old and dying, why you all know it’s only a case of three days to plant you, and then you're forgotten. “But now that these scientific fellers have discovered the X-rays, which show up a man's inside, the doctors, they say, can keep him alive. But I can’t see what's the good of Hving forever unless they can find some dope to keep a fellow young. “Then there’s another kind of scientific guys,” continued John, “that claim that after a man dies he is turned {nto some sort of ananimal. They say that these nervous, fidgety, droublesome cusses turn into mos- quitoes, because it’s their nature to bother everybody, while the toughs and bullies are turned into mules and elephants.’ He Knew It. From the Chicago Post. The lawyer laid aside the story of Edl- son’s life and looked out of the club win- dow. + “What a lot of money there is in pat- ents,” he said at last.

It is no wonder that poets have been touched with this revival of a lost sense, and it $s no wonder that the poetry whicn bas been written has been good poetry: ON Ew from the Netlers hands, Made whole as by magle power, ‘This gladness understands, It fs only one such as I, Reborn to the world of sound, Again hearing life’s sweet song . ‘Through @ scuse that was silence-drown'd, Go ask them, and they will tell How happiness stream'd thro’ tears, When thelr loving voices fell Like music upon my ears! How I danced and reel’d with Joy, And thank’d the God of bliss, When again my wife's “I love you" T heard as I felt ber kiss; How I clasped the boy to my breast, And bless'd him, and drank each word, As he prattled the prayer taught him, And every word I beard; 1. Hlow the song of the Lird tn the cage, And tho buzz of the chandel And the tides of noise In the street, And the belis ringing loud and clear, And the tick-tick-tick of the clock, d the counds of feet In the hall Swept to my brain emotions ‘That thrilled my senses all. And thanks were mingled with gladness ‘That, back to my loved I'd found My way from the Tomb of Silence {nto the World of Sound. Pp. F.

Outwitted the Trainmen and Rode From Philadelphia to Washington. From the Baltimore Sun. Passenger train 511 of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which arrived at Camden station at 8:45 p.m. recently, brought a singular, unwelcome and unpaid-for pas- senger, whose advent caused mingled séenti- ments of amusement and superstition to the officers in charge of the train. The sin- gular passenger was a large coal-black cat, with particularly large green eyes, one ear alertly cocked and the other, through some encounter, perhaps, with another of his kind, drooping and dejected. ‘The cat was seen strolling leisurely about the train yard of the Chestnut street sta- tion, Philadelphia. His curiosity seemed attracted by train 511, and he gave it as thorough an inspection as the limited time of its delay at the station allowed. When the train began to move slowly out the cat gave a tremendous bound and landed on the front truck of one of the cars. There he settled down composedly, blandly purr- ing his evident satisfaction with travel, seen parading up and down the front plat-| form of the first car, after the fashion of an experienced tourist. Not liking his os- tentation, Conductor Louis Bennett, with firm decision, grasped Thomas by the scruff. of his inky’ neck and pitched him into space. ‘After such rude treatment a cat of any self-respect would, no doubt, have conclud- ed that his presence was unwelcome, and would have retired with dignity.

Between W: mington and Baltimore trains do not st for water, but receive it as they speed along. Thomas, in returning to his favorite position on the front platform of the car just behind the tender, had not allowed for this, and as a consequence when he crawled off the car at Baltimore he presented a sorry sight, with his sleck, glossy coat drenched and disordered. Several laughs at his expense were joyed by the trainmen, and it was thou that after such discouraging experiences he they’re mad at m To Fit the Appetite. From the Chicago Recor.
