A few days sjnce was in the store
Of an old Alexandria matchmaker
when a gentleman called in and hand
cd him fine gold watch and said he
had been amongst dynamos and that
his watch WAS magnetized and ruined.
The matchmaker was asked TO exam

demaguetized. The matchmaker told
his patron that the watch was not mag
nctized nj all, and further that no
watch could be maguetized without
coming in contact with II magnet that
he bad repaired compasses and charged
needles thirty years ago; that nothing
could be magnctized without first hav

magnet had been exposed to The strong

heir

Douglas Street Grade Appraisers Decide on
Their Report.
A board of appraisers, composed of w. j.
Mount, q. G. .Bassett and A. w. Phelps, sat
yesterday afternoon in the Builders and
Traders headquarters in the New YORK Life
building, for the purpose of hearing COM
plants from property owners as to wha:
damages, il any, there would be to property
by the proposed grade of Douglas street, be-
tween Sixteenth and Twentieth.
DIR. J.C. Denise and Mrs. j. r. Meredith,
who own residence property at the corner of
Nineteenth and Dodge streets, claim they
would sustain damages by reason of the
grade. They were asked if they did not con-
slider that their respective pieces of property
would be benefited by grade which would
make Eouglas business street. Neither
thought their property would be enhanced in
value But the cut, they said, would dam
age 1T. ..,.y r.f
Ex-Judge Anderson, who Is also a
property owner In the district. thought
otherwise, and said that 1t was essential
that the cut be made. He thought all
property would be benefited rather than
damaged. He and DIR. Denise INDUCED in
little unpleasantry in which the former
SAID he was no mossback no hog for
damages, but man OF progressive ideas
who wanted to see the town grow by
improvements being made. Dr. Denise
retorted that MIR Anderson wanted the
Chairman Mount called them down and
they subsidized.
Mr.. Bassett asked DR.. Denise il he did
not think the Improvement of Douglas
street would benefit Dodge.
mot now" replied the doctor. I'm fifty
years it might but we are not considering
| prospective benefts-simply actual benefits
| or damages at the present time"
I'VE don't want it for business street" !"
! interposed Mrs. Mereuith. "The property is
our homes, and that's what we want 1t for.
| The proposed grade will spoil the property
| for residence. BY the previous grades we
| consider that our property has deprecated
| in value. l can't understand why the
| property owners on Nineteenth and Dodge
| streets are to be assessed for the grade of
| Nineteenth and Douglas when it is detrimen-
| tai to our interests 1t is unjust, as we
don't want to pay for thing that i, an in
| jury to u.s."
MIR. BasseJt said that Douglas street must
be a business thoroughfare, and to make it
| such the cut was inevitable.
| Others also complained of the damages
| they would sustain, but the board decided TO
| allow no award of damages. as it was
| thought the benefits to accrue would offset
| any damages. The board accordingly made
a report Of that nature to the city council
| last night.
