THE CITY POST OFFICE.
WILL 1T EVER BE BUILT ON THE
AVENUE SITE ?
An Impression Gaining Ground That It
VIII Not-What the Delay in Perfect
ing Title May Lead to-G Street MAY
Get the Post Office.

IA good many people who have been
watching the matter" said business man
yesterday, "are predicting that the City Post
Office Will never occupy the site selected on
the Avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets. They say If the Post Office is placed
In the proposed temporary quarters on G.
street it will never be moved from there
There has been so much delay in getting at
the value of the lots in the square opposite
the Star office, and such high prices are being
asked by the owners, that it is believed the
matter will get into tangle and nothing will
be done before the reassembling of Congress.
Then that body is liable to become disgusted
at the way the matter has heen handled and
repeal the law authorizing the purchase of
the Avenue site. 1t would be great thing
for street if the Post Office was located
there permanently. 1t would give fresh
boom to the street, which is already develop
ing wonderfully FAST
There seems to be q good deal in what this
gentleman said, and there is no doubt that a
strong impression prevails that in the end the
Avenue may lose the post office, unless an
agreement is speedily reached between the.
appraisers and the property-owners and the
purchase closed 1t would be serious set.
back to the Avenue if the post office should GO
elsewhere. 1t would put an end, ne doubt,
for some time to come to all schemes of in-
provement on the south side and make still
more difficult of realization the scheme to
have the Government acquire all the land this
side of the Smithsonian grounds and between
the Capitol, the Avenue, and Fourteenth or
Fifteenth streets. Further, If the post Office
were located permanently on street it would
etill further increase the present tendency of
development in that direction and away from
the Avenue. When this is made plain to peo-
| pie who have interests on the Avenue no doubt
they will stir themselves to keep the post
Office on the site selected by the late Congress.

A PLEA FOR FAIRGROUNDS.
An Old Boy Who Still Sympathizes With
the Young Ones.

An Old Boy Who Still Sympathizes With
the Young Ones.
Editor Sunday Herald:
1t is shame that the boys of Washington.
are not provided with recreation grounds
Notwithstanding our spacious reservations,
there is no spot where the younger generation
can get rid of their supernuous vitality and
develop their sinews and lungs and enhance
their health generally. One after another
their ball grounds are covered by the march
of improvement. Thus 1t happens that their
restless lives are taken up with pool and
cigarettes and that idleness which, as the old
German said, is the DEVILS pillow. When
they do happen to break through the unnatural
restraints that surround them and indulge liz
sunepttious attempts to play in the streets
their fun is spoiled by the police, and in some
cases they are subjected to the tender mercies
of the Police Court. 1t is devoutly to he
wished that the authorities, while they are
laying out the spacious parks now in contem-
plation and under way, will provide literally
for boys in. the matter of Fairgrounds, in
Guiding bathing facilities. | was boy once
myself, and | hope | am an old boy still.
Give the boys chance. AN OLD Boy.

Improvements at Kernan's Theatre.
Manager Herman, of Kernan's Theatre, will
eXpend several thousand dollars in improving
his house this summer. The principal feature
of the improvements will be the construction
of the new entrance to the theatre from
Pennsylvania avenue. Mr.. Herman some
time ago purchased the property next to Har-
Yey's on the Avenue, and on this he will build
the new entrance to his theatre. The present
entrance on Eleventh street will be retained
as a gallery entrance and exit.

for their home, already furnished and fitted
at Orleans, Ionia county. The presents

Public Opinion.
THE PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING BETTER
CITY GOVERNMENT. II

THE PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING BETTER
CITY GOVERNMENT.
The petition addressed to the respective
committees of the three political parties
OF this city and signed by number OF our
leading citizens must certainly be needed
and complied with. The basis of represen-
tation Is fair and IL the ward caucuses are
well attended and properly conducted the
result cannot but be o vast improvement
over our old methods. Let us eliminate
politics from our municipal elections; eschew
party and elect men; men of known integrity
and business ability. This Is the only
way In which we can rid ourselves and
shake of the barnaces and parasites who
have so tenaci0usly adhered to, and been
carried along and nurtured by the city gov
eminent for years.
Think OF the unreasonable taxes we are
called upon 10 pay; and then of the reckless
and worse than idiOtic expenditures. The
J0bbng is not all on SO extensive scale as
the ''Myers d. Co." COATES d Co.." chose
cart" ''sign posts" and the drafting of
street ordinances by an ex-alderman.
There are innumerable small leaks of which
the public seldom hear.
Then again look at the moral government
OF the city. Every whiskey hole in the
place is running i'm open violation of the law
every day in the week. Houses of prostitu-
ton numerous and public, bringing shame
and ruinto many otherwise happy homes.
The pool room visited nightly by scores of
young men whose fond parents believe to be
I'm attendance at the Y. M. G. A. In those
dens OF mfamy and vice they will learn
more evil in one night than the Y. nj. G. A.
can eradicate in one year. The moral and
religious element in this city spend their
money freely in building churches, support
ing schools, societies and organizations OF
all kinds calculated to educate and christian
ize our youth. And can they longer sit
calmly by and permit the growth and luxu-
RANT development of those fostering infiuen-
ces (the saloon, br0thel and gambling table,
which more than tenfold counteract the
influences of all their good teaching? l
think not. 1 tell you the people are de-
handing better city government. Can it be
had? Why most certainly! Let the signers
of that petition and all other citizens who
believe in decency and good government
cast aside their party affiliations and the
thing is done. Let them attend their re-
spective caucuses and see to it that men are
put in nOminatiOn-men who regard their
oath of Office and will execute the law against
all offenders; men who will put their foot
on knavery, jObbery and wasteful eXtrava-
gance of every kind
Reader the people are demanding better
city government. Are you with us? Ii so

jubilee singers to give one of their grand
concerts i'm Plantation and Slaves melodies
at the Congregational church Thursday
evening, April 9. These songs have sung

INTO existence and have won for the singers
far greater reputation than any other SINH

appreciated when sung by ordinary people,
but when sung by this famous company of
colored singers there is a certain soul-stir-
ring, charming way that they alone can
sing. Admission, 35c. Children, 25.
