annual meeting on Saturday evening, there was an
agitation unlike any that had been known III ''e
club for long time The motion 10 permit car"
playing was made by Henry Fielder. leader OF 'he
opposition ticket. His four cahuiuates were
elected and all are said to have favored the notion
which was carried by vote OF % TO oil.
The emnhatic denunclaton OF the proposed in
novation by Senator Johnson. NJ. F.. Clarendon,
president of the town government ana other ie"U-

that a majority OF the Board of Governors mad

CTTY,s WATER SERVICE.

Some Important Changes and I'm.
provements to BE Made.
Some important changes will shortly be
made in the water service of the city,
which, it is believed, will materially beneht
the consumers. A twenty-inch main Will
be laid in street from the pumping sta
ton to 32d and P streets. to increase the
water supply of Georgetown. A twelve-inch
main will be laid out P street to S5th street
and out SOD street to T, thence along I to
35th, In order to further improve the high
service in the extreme northwestern section
of the city.
The most important change in the service
will take place in South Washington. Here
a twelye-inch main will be laid from the
twenty-inch main on B street, down 10th
street to H. and thence east along H to "A
street. When this is done the valves which
allow the water to serve the southwest VIII
be closed and that section fed by the new
twelve-inch MAN. This will in no way d.
minish the water supply Of the section. 1t
is low, and the gravity service will at al!
times keep 1t up. Such an arrangement Will
materially help the high service, as 1t Will
keep that large volume of water which fell
in the low area on tap for the higher Sec
lions.
The new pumping engines at the U street
station are in need Of better quarters, and
within a few days specif1ca tons will be is
sued and bids invited for the erection OF
new brick structure to take the place OF
the old building.

Closing the Wells.

Gradually the public wells Of the city
are being abandoned and filed. There has
been no sweeping order, but each day or
so an order goes forth closing well. There
are comparatively few left, and 1t is be-
lieved before another summer comes not
one of the old original wells will be open.
The Commissioners. however. believe in
pure water, and determined effort will
be made at the next session OF Congress
to get an appropriation sufficient to sink q
number of deep wells all over the city.
The experiments recently tried upon these
deep wells were SO satisfactory that the
Commissioners became convinced that deep
wells were the only proper ones for Wash
ington. There are two Of these wells in
the city at present, and more would have
been sunk il there had been sufficient ap-
preparation.
Another old well was ordered closed to-
day. 1t has long been landmark in the
northeast being situated at the corner
of 4th and E streets. A public hydrant
will be erected near by. supplying the resi-
dents in that section with Potomac water

Serving an Attachment.

Constable Swinburne had an exciting ex-
perience yesterday afternoon at No. 612
Pennsylvania avenue, where he went to
serve an attachment. Several able-bodied
cclored men were with him, but Mrs. st.
Clair Fechner, little woman with a pis-
toll, was arrayed against the combination.
and the result was that the furniture
wagons went away empty. The constable
got in the house, but Mr.. Fechner locked
the door leading to his apartments, and
when the pistol was drawn there was
cry of police, and Sergeant Lombardy and
Officer Newkirk responded. The appear
arce of the uniformed officers meant the
restoration of peace, and today the consta-
BILE was given possession. 1t Is likely that
there will be legal contest, as it is claim
ed that the household effects are exempt
from the operations of the law.

Attacked With Stones.

As a party of young ladies and gentle
men from Laurel were enjoying a straw
ride last Monday night, and we're going
through Savage on their return home, they
became the targets OF a shower of stones
thrown by q crowd of half-grown boys.
who seemed to tie acting purely in a spirit
of mischief. The perty consisted of Misses
Maggie Bagley, Jennie Berry, Mary Sadler,
Grace Holbrook, the Misses Clark and
Messrs. Pruse, Ed. Walk, Wilton Snowden
Fenwick Richard Foote and Crommiller,
and was cEapeIoned by Mrs. Heath, who is
a guest of the family of Mr.. William Snow
den an influential politician of Laurel. Mr..
Richard Fcote was str uck back of the ear
and bled freely from the wound. Mrs.
Heath was injured in the breast, and all
the members of the party received ugly
bruises from the missiles, the arms of the
young ladies being black from the effects.
The wounds of tho injured ones were
dressed by Dr. Crcmmiller when they
reached Laurel, and were discovered not to
be SO serious was first expected. The
party then visited Oak Crest and INDUCED
in dancing at that place for several hours,
forgetting for the time the interruption of
their straw ride at Savage. The boys who
threw the missiles are unknown to the
party, but the authorities of both Laurel
ard Savage are quietly investigating the
case, and If the culprits are caught they
will be severely dealt with by the law.

Renninr Association.

Vice President Mewshaw called the Ben
ming Citizens Association to order a little
after 8 o'clock last evening.
In the matter Of appearing before the
Commissioners to inform them Of the &C.
ton of the association in reference to the
driving of live stock over the road. the
chairman of the road committee said II
would be impossible for him to be there at
the appointed time, but that he would see
the Commissioners early enough and ar
range to be heard at the proper time
Being entirely satisfactory the suggestion
was approved.
Mr.. j. w. France said complaint had
been made to him that scholars were COM
PEELED to walk about mile in all kinds OF
weather in order to avail themselves OF
the advantages offered by the manual
training school, which is located in a frame
building near the Piney Branch Church.
and he thought the association should take
action looking to the erection of an addi-
ton to the brick school house. After a
full discussion of the subject 1t was, on
motion of Mr.. Plowman, decided to ap-
point committee of three on education. to
which this and other similar matters could
be referred. The committee will be an
nounced next Tuesday evening.
Mr.. S. R. Hipsley was appointed to Sc
cure the associations lamps, and after a
few other small matters were discussed

The "Lcts, of Life.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
There were two little sisters at the house,
whom nobody could see without loving, for
they were always SO happy together. They
had the same books and the same play
things, but never a quarrel sprang up be-
tween them-no cross words, no pouts no
slaps, no running away in a pet. On the
green before the door. trundling hoop,
playing with Rover, helping mother, they
were always the same sweet-tempered lit
tie girls.
You never seem to quarrel" naid to
them one day. How is it that you are
always so happy together?'
They looked up, and the older answered:
"Oh, you know, Addie let's me, and 1 let
Addie."
I thought moment
"Ah, that is it, said; "she lets you,
and you let her; that's it."
Did you ever think what cause of dis
cord not letting" is among children?
Even now, while I have been writing, a
great crying was heard under the window.

"Fie, fie! Is that the way sisters should
treat each other?"
"She shan't have my pencil" 1nuttered
Gerty; shell only lose it"
"And you'll only lose my ball." retorted
Mary, land shan't let you have it."

A Pretty Happy Girl.
From Rams Horn.


There are many plain young girls whose
faces are lined with discomfort and I'M
happiness. There Is a drawn. perplexed
expression between the eyes, and the cor
ners of the mouth have a decided droop.
These are the girls who have a settled
idea that they are plain beyond remedy,
and the distressing belief has deepened the
lines of dissatisfaction; but in reality there
Is only cloud over the face, cast by the
habit of unhappiness.
A pretty story by which we can all profit
Is told in an exchange as follows:
One morning certain girl whose face
was under this cloud walked out across
the sunshine of the common. For a mo-
ment the lghtness of the morning had
lifted the gloom and her thoughts were IN
usually pleasant
What a pretty, happy girl that is we
Just passed." she heard one of two ladies
passing say to the other.
She looked quickly around with envy
in her heart to see the pretty girl but
she was the only girl in sight
why, they mean me! No one ever called
me pretty before! 1t must be because l
am smling!'
Again. as she was getting on a horse
car, she heard the fates were out in her
favor): DO you see that pretty grip
well, 1 declare. 1 am always going to
look happy if this is what comes of 1t! 1
have been called homely all my life, and
here twice in one day I've been called
pretty"
