Lessons in Values. That we are constantly offering unrivaled values is an indis- __ ji! putable fact, but rarely do we have so many to offer as at the | present time. The backward spring is partly responsible, but || careful buying and unlimited command of capital haye con- tributed in no small degree to make such values as these pos-_ |!li! sible. Judge for yourself whether they are not the greatest | values that you can recollect seeing, and remember that we ar- range terms to suit without extra cost.

It quiets the nerves, re- stores ambition—kills headache, sweetens the stomach and breath, opens the bowels and forever removes the thousand and one dis- tressing ills of the stomach. Finally, it makes lazy livers Work and perform their functions exactly as nature intended. Lax-Tone is refreshing. It is stimulating and strengthening.

Meeting of Police Comminsioners. Mayor George L. Simpson has issued a call for a meeting of the board of police commissioners this evening at 8 o'clock. As stated before, a meeting of the commis- sioners was to have been held Tuesday evening, but for lack of a quorum it was postponed. Mayor Simpson was not pri ent, as the meeting was not called by him. Upon being informed of the matter witich s proposed to lay before the board the oe extended the call, as above stated. Consideration of the question as to whether a policeman may engage in politics activ is the object of the meeting. The ques applies to Policeman Frank Spinks, has announced himself a candidate for the office of city sergeant. General and Personal.

Ordway, executor of the estate of Gunes «. Ordway, for a setlement relative to the auction sale of building and materials con- nected with the Washington Market Com- pany. The claim, states the attorney, fs that the District is lable to account to the owners of the building removed from the Washing- ton Market Company’s premises on Penn- sylvania avenue to the grounds of the wholesale market,'It being alleged, he ade that such removal and location were made with the consent of the then superinteadent of buildings, ana that an arrangement was made by which the District should have one-half of the rental ‘and those who had placed the building there should receive through the collector 6f ground rents the other half of the rental for its use, etc. T am of the opfnicn,” says the attorney, “that neither the superintendent of build- ings, whoever may be intended by this designation, nor any other official, had legal authority to make any such arrani ™ment as that mentioned, and the District of Columbia, therefcre, was not and is not bound thereby, nor is it liable to account for any rentals. % “It further appears that the alleged own- ers of the building desite to remove it to a Private lot. The presumption is that a building thus located upon the land of an- other becomes the pfoperty of the land owners, and unless the owners of the building expressly reserved the right to re- move it, they have no such right.” ee Protests Against Change. A protest against the action of the school board in recommending a change in the of- fice of superintendent of colored schools has been filed with the District Commissioners by Mr. Henry Johnson of 149 Monroe street, Anacostia. Mr. Johnson says Superinten- dent Cook has stood out in»late years against those clamoring for blindly follow- ing the white schools, regardless of differ- ence in home culture, preferring instead a middle ground based upon that best suited to the opportunities of the colored youth. He also contends that Mr. Cook has single- handed and alone, for almost a quarter of & century, built up the educational monu- ment for the colored race at the nation’; capital. z AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN BON 33 i Eiseman Bros., \ Parish “House Completed by St Alban's ¢ | Corner 7th and E Spec Episcopal Congregation.

Bon Marche, 314-316-318 7th St. : KO} tee ot St. Alban’s Episcopal Parish has just completed a parish house on the chapel lot, fronting the Murdock Mill road, at Tenley- town. The building is an attractive one and contains a hall with a seating capacity for about 400, with a stage, dressing rooms and other needed space. Connected with it is a neat cottage for the use of the care- taker, with kitchen accommodations for the use of the parish guilds and other church organizations. In the basement of the main building it is proposed to fit up bowling alleys and a gymnasium for the use of the young men, who at present have only a smoking room for their separate use. The nucleus of a free circulating Mbrary has been installed in a room in the build- ing, and numbers already several hundred books. Monday evening next the first lec- ture will be delivered in the hall by the Rev. Philtp M. Rhinelander, on Quo Vadis, illustrated by life-size stereopticon pictures. The erection of the partsh house has been a valuable addition to Tenleytown. Collection for Georgetown University. The Coleman Museum of Georgetown University has just received a valuable col- lection of corals, jewels and minerals of the Philippine Islands, which were presented by the Jesuits who are residing on the ts- lands. The collection is said to be most complete, and quite noteworthy because of the presence of many rare specim , which increase the value considerably. The gems have been spread into the northwest dra‘ ing room, on account of the crowded con- dition of’ the Coleman Museum, and_are open to the inspection of the public. It is said a similar collection, equally as valu- able, has been presented to the government by the Jesuits, and will be placed on exhi- bition at the National Museum as soon as it can be properly arranged and catalogued. Attempted to Jump From Bridge. John Johnson, a colored man, aged about twenty-five, attempted to jump from the M street bridge this morning about 4 o'clock, and but for the timely appearance of Po- Ncemen Lohman and Connors would have accomplished his object. The man was climbing over the rail and was ready to drop when he was caught. The prisoner talked in an erratic way, and, thinking he was out of his mind, the police sent him to the station, where he is held_pending an in- vestigation of his mental ability.
