Proceedings of the Association at Meeting Last Evening — Appoint- ment of Standing Committees. The North Capitol and Eckington Citi- | fens’ Association met last evening in the hall at the corner of R street and Lincoin avenue. Progress on the project of the as- Sociation for the erection of a public library end hall was reported, and committees for the ensuing year were appointed, * The association was called to order by Wm. G. Henderson, president, W. J. Hughes acting as secretary. | ‘The following were elected to member- ship: George T. Haslam, C. R. Richards and R. J. Mawhinrey. Irwin B. Linton announced that the chair- man.-of the committee on the Baltimore and Ohio viaduct had visited Commission- '| er Black, to inquire regarding the proposed viaduct, and was told that the Commis- Sioners were not yet ready to take up that matter. As soon as they were ready notice would be given the committee. brary and hall was made by C . Kern, chairman. Kern said he and Mr. Henderson, president of the association, had had a conference with ex-Commission- er Truesdell in regard to the offer of the fatter to donate a suitable lot on which to build a public brary and hall. A Proposed Donation. Mr. Truesdell agreed to give a lot on Quincy street, adjoining the site of the new school house on the east, with only such Provisions as would be necessary to insure its use for a public brary and hall. The lot to be donated would be 40 by 90 feet, though fifteen feet in the front would be reserved for parking. The committee had not been able to for- mulate definite plans fer the building and for securing the moncy necessary for its erection, but in a general way it was thought the structure to be recommended would be 36 by 75 feet and two stories high, with an ornamental front. This would give light and’air on ali sides of the build- ing, the windows of the west side opening ‘on the playground of the school house, now under course of erection. More definite Plans will be presented to the association at its next meeting. President Henderson said he regarded the Project of building a public library and hall as feasible and believed such a building -would be of great advantage to the section in which the association was interested. In addition to giving the people there a li- brary, it would provide a more suitable place for the meetings of the assacjation than had been available in the past. The association then amended its consti- tution, providing that the vice president and treasurer of the association shall be ex-officio members of the executive com- mittee, and that that committee shall meet every two weeks instead of every week.

The death of Johnson, which occurred the Sth of the following month, was the result of a quarrel between him and the boy in @ cook shop. it appearing that Johnson, whose reputation was not good, threatened to beat the boy. The lad then picked up a stone and threw it at Johnson, striking him in the head and fracturing his skull. Attorneys M. T. Clirkscales and P. W. Frisby explained to the court that the boy's previous character was excellent, and the government admitted that no malicious premeditation on the part of the boy could be shown, and did not, therefore, op- Pcse the imprisonment of the little fellow m the reform school until ho reaches the age of twenty-one years, or until he is sooner’ digcharged for good conduct. eee RECEIVES A DONATION. Gift of Books to the American Unt- versity. The American University yesterday re- celved a very valuable library of about 500 volumes, the gift of Professor Higbie of the University of the Pacific. About one-half of the library is on subjects of interest to oriental scholars. Professor Higbie also Presented the university with a fine collec- tion of mineralogical Specimens, and sets of surveying and other instruments.

First there is a little “out sorts "’ feeling, the digestion isn’t just right, the appetite falls 3 the liver is inactive, the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food is imperfect, the blood gets im- ure and the body is improperly nourished. ese conditions get worse and worse.

He stage gered slightly, his eyes were bleary and hig voice thick. “What is this case?” inquired Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, entering the room. “Seems to be a ‘case of beer,’ softly re plied Clerk Lum Harper with a self-satise fied smile. Ogston told the court just how it hap pned, but his explanation was far from satisfactory. His honor had very little te say in regard to the case. His statement was: “Kive dollars.” ——e Local Feather-Weights to Meet. Alex.
