SITE FOR THE NEW CLUB HOUSE TO BE PUR-
CHASED ON STREET.
The question of the location of the new club
house has been an absorbing topic among the
Columbia Athletic club men for some time At
a meeting last night the report of the building
committee, together with the recommendations
of the board of governors, authorizing the pur-
chase of what is known as the G-street prop
erty was agreed to. The property is owned by
Mr.. John r. Mclean and is located on G street,
between 18th and 18th. 1t contains 27,52l
square feet. The price to be paid is not to ex-
coed $4,000, to be payable in twenty years, at
5per cent interest. Mr.. Mclean offers to ex-
pend $4,000 on the erection of the clubhouse
provided the club spend like amount, he to
receive per cent interest This proposition
was also agreed to, and the club was author
lied to issue second-mortgage bonds to cover
the Indebtedness. On the walls of the reading
room last night were hung plans of the new
clubhouse, and also q statement detailing the
scheme for paying its Indebtedness. The build
ing will be a handsome structure. four stories
and basement. Among the features of the
new house will be the gymnasium, which will
occupy the entire third floor, and swimming
tank on the first floor. Ground will be broken
as soon as the weather permits.

TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE CoLoRED
neutrality-suspicious. ADOPTED.
Georgetown's colored citizens held a mass
meeting last night at Ebenezer A. NJ. E. church
to discuss the talked-of change in the location
of the colored public school-house in that
place. The edifice was crowded with indignant
men, but the business before them was trans
acted in a very orderly manner. The meeting
was called to order by John II. Ferguson, and
then prayer was offered. When this was con-
cluded a committee, consisting of DIR. G. IL.
Cursor, A. T. Brown and A. Locke was ap-
pointed to give expression, in resolutions, to
the hitherto pent-up feelings of the colored
people of Georgetown respecting the projected
removal of colored pupils of the Wormley
school building to the Montgomery-s
school-house. While the committee were at
work on the resolutions the meeting was at Its
urgent request,
ADDRESSED BY EX-sCHooL-TRUsrEE JOHN II.
BROOKS.
who sketched the history of the purchase of
the site for the Wormley building, and said
that he officially approved the selection before
it was purchased. 1t was bought, he said, of
Mr.. Mitchell, the present school trustee for the
fifth district. The Montgomery-street site was,
he claimed, utterly unfit for school purposes,
and in this opinion the District Commissioners
and the school trustees all agreed at one time.
Its purchase later could hardly be understood.
The object, however, had now become per-
fectly plain. The Commissioners intended re-
moving the colored children from the Worm
ley building and locating them in the undesir-
able Nlontgomery-street building.
THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
on resolutions was then presented by DIR. Cru
scr. and agreed to. 1t reads as follows:
''Whereas the Commissioners have. for I'M
just reasons, prepared to remove the Wormley
school to a place unfit for the same purpose
the present is used. and whereas we doubt the
legal and moral reasons contemplated be it
resolved that we, the colored citizens of West
Washington. do solemnly enter our protest
against the proposed movement; that the
movement is Illegal unjust and unfair discrimi-
nation on account of color and past condition;
that the money appropriated for the specific
purpose to build the Wormley school was wise,
judicious and appropriate; that the transfer of
the colored school children to another build
ing would be Numerically opposed to the best
interest of the colored children of West Wash
ington. and that a committee of five be ap-
pointed to cooperate with the committee ap-
pointed on February at the Fifteenth-Street
Presbyterian church."

CLOSING REMARKS.

Mr.. Crusor. ST., made few remarks on the
subject. in which he referred to Mr.. Cox as the
person to be especially benefited in this matter.
He (Crusor) was delighted to know that but
few days more of office remained to the Com
missiOners.
Chairman Ferguson also made brief speech
and Il. ID. Ruffin read a letter from School
Trustee MITCHELL in which it was stated that
the Commissioners had not taken any action in
the matter as vet

forward by political, social, religious,

upon to pay about four and a half
million dollars. 1t is fortunate that
this loss comes at the end Of fairly
prosperous year, or the blow might
have been more disastrous than it
is. The sudden loss will probably
cause the retirement from business
of two companies. and the impair

but as whole it will be borne with.

large proportion of it will fall on
foreign companies, and it is a mat

have to draw on their home offices.
All the companies, home and foreign,
will undoubtedly have to sell certain
securities in order to obtain the
money to meet their losses.

day he received what was supposed
to be second stroke of apoplexy
from which he failed to rally. He
was pronounced dead. and the family
SO notified relatives and arranged to
have the body prepared for burial.

vice versa. The pay for the trip has
been increased some, but, what is
much more important, the men will
also receive pay for over time when
more than twelve hours is consumed
in making the run. When for vari-
Gus reasons over which they have no
control they are compelled to lie along
the road on side.tracks aud consume
from fifteen to twenty hours in max
ing a trip, they will get paid for it. As
may be imagined the boys are very
cheerful over the increase.

DO THEY KNOW ny NAME7

Little child, with eyes urlifted
To the quiet evening skies,
With the love-light of the angels
Shining in your tender eyes;
When your roselips murmEr softly
With the music of prayer,
Trembling to the sunset portals,
Let my name find entrance there
Ask the angels if they know me,
kneeling at the mercy seat;
Weary of lifes solemn pathways
Where the sharp thorns pierce the feet,
Weary of the world SO lonely
Where my griefs no pity claim;
While you whisper TO the angels,
Ask them if they know my name.
In this weary world of sorrow,
In its shadow, in its shrine,
What is there SO true and tender
AS that trusting heart of thine?
All. of such the Masters kingdom
Is, and you his love may claim
While you whisper to the angels
Ask them if they know my name
1t may be that they will answer,
Deeming not my love is dross,
While Irest me, broken-hearted.
In the shadow of the cross.
So. while still your sweet lips tremble,
Let my plea your pity claim;
While you whisper to the angels
Ask them if they know my name?
