The East Washington Association at its
meeting held last evening at Baum's Hall,
corner of Fourth and East Capitol streets,
had before it a resolution which declared en-
, phaucally in favor of local control OF the
school text books and against the schoolbook
trust
The resolution was introduced by Michael
J. Weller, and was referred to the committee
on schools II read as follows:
Whereas the pupils of the first eight grades
. of our public schools are now furnished with
free text books and school supplies at a cost
: of $4,000 annually 10 the taxpayers, and
Whereas the New York Sun of September
29 1894. stated that the American book trust
paid So, GOO bribe in Washington for certain
privileges; and as public interests demand
that the most rigid economy should be exer-
cised in the purchase Of school books, re-
gradless Of favoritism, and
Whereas the Government: Printing Office
in this city possesses the greatest facilities in
the country for the production Of such books,
Resolved, BY the East Washington As
sociation that we believe the printing of all
text books used in our public schools. when
ever practicable, should be done in this city,
thereby eliminating corruption and giving
employment to our own people"
II believe" said Mr.. Weller in support OF
his resolution. ''that a competent committee
could be secured in this city TO prepare text
books for the schools. and that they can be
more cheaply printed here, at the biggest
printing Office in the country il not in the
world, than anywhere else. and save at least
the commissions that are paid tribute TO
ia NarffG he hof ln
paid in bribes.
SPENT FOR SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
'I understand the trust sells books annually
TO the value OF S24, ,OOO, 900, and it is easy to
see that, if necessary, a portion OF the profits
realized can be spent for special privileges. -
The committee is expected to make re-
port upon the subject at the next meeting, to
be held one month hence.
The meeting last night was presided over
py Chairman J. W. Babson, and Secretary A.
r. s7erry took note Of the proceedings. The
ing was an annual conEocation, and the
1crigl business before it was the election OF
-Hrcrs. but there were several reports filed

resident Babson presented a statement of
the years business. He emphasized two
points-frst, that every item of expense had
been met, and the incoming officials would
take charge OF the association with no debt to
meet; and second, that there more names
upon the membership roll than ever before.
He referred TO the stand taken by the asso-
citation In favor OF numerous improvements
that have been consummated, and partic-
ularly TO its cooperation with the Northeast
Association IN favor Of the Baltimore and
Ohio viRduot, which he hoped would event

1.-The movement in which we are engaged is
not confined TO Washington, either, as l shall

repsrtsra compilation, showing the status OF
the veterans in December last as compared
with the present.
That document we have just received by
mali, said the spokesman. "Ir shows that
in the Census Office, under Porter, there were
twenty ex-soldiers employed as watchmen
and in similar capacities. while on the sue

three ex-rebe soldiers and six Southern
gentlemen comprised the Wright guard.
There is a little band that congregates
principally about the Government Printing
Office, styling itself the Interstate Democratic
Association. that questions the accuracy o:

We propose TO prove what we say in our own
time. We make no reckless statements, and
know exactly what we are talking about"
The Protective Association held a meeting
last night at No. 623 i street northwest and
adopted some resolutions touching the sub
ect referred to, which are as follows
Resolved, That the statements embraced in
the resolutions adopted the 2Sth ultimo by
the organization known as the Interstate
Democratic Association TO the effect that in

those who are not members of the Grand

Were in Baltimore.

"Good eye Brodie!"
These and many more like EXPLANATIONS
sounded strangely out OF place in Albaugh's
Grand Opera House yesterday. where Wash
ington was treated TO an innovation in the
shape of an electric reproduction on a cur
tain of all the moves on the diamond field in
the first of the Temple cup games at Balti-

The rooters were out by hundreds, and
unanimously declared it TO be a close next
best thing TO seeing the game ITSELF But it
was funny to hear them yelling in that place
as if the players were within hearing distance
OF their comments.
big diamond was painted on the canvas
with holes representing the positions OF the
players. When the background TO the holes
was red the Giants were in the field, indicat-
ing that they were out for blood. white
background signified the purity of the cham
pions intentions to wallop their opponents.
There was bell which called the batting
number OF the player making an error, another
which called foul ball, and one which rung
from one to four times, as the players made
single, double, three-bagger, or home run.
The bell did not ring four times yesterday
The record was perfect and the crowd ap-
preciated it. They were impartial in their
favors too. The cheered when Rusie and
Esper were pItted against each other and
each pitched his man out in fine shape in the
fourth inning. Van Haltren's triple showed
up in fine shape and the crowd yelled &C
cordingly.
The canvas showed that Baltimore played
an errorless game, as against New Yorks
three errors; signalled every move on the
field indicating man out on the bases by
showing a figure for a second at the base

showed the outs, and kept the aggregate
score of the game, which was 4 to l. Balti-

two plucky steals, which enabled him to come

Without ceasing to scream out sentences like
these he threw a look out toward the foot of the

the cave. He changed all of a sudden his tone

AT the same moment, while the other brigands

rock mass of soldiers invaded the stronghold,

as he looked down the side of the mountain he
