your columns. of the suggestion offered by
Capt Rosselle, I think, some years ago
when the naming Of the streets in the SUBJ
urbs north Of the city was discussed? His
proposition was that all streets running
east and west should be called avenues,
commencing at what is now A street north
and A street south, and calling A street
1st avenue, B street I'd avenue, G street Sd
avenue, and SO on.
1t seems to me that this is the stmplest
ana yet most comprehensive plan ever sue-
gested. which would not involve Changing
the name Of any oblique avenue now
streets running north or south. This sys-
tenn prevails IN the new part Of the city of
New York, and is entirely satisfactory I
relieve, and / can see no reason whv #
should not apply here equally as we'll.
There appear to be about sixty-fiye new
streets provided for north of w street. ac-

of the secretary Of the society, Rev. ]. E.

made to the arrangements Tor the puDnca.
tion in a number Of daily newspapers OF
expository notes prepared by the secretary
on the international Sunday school lessons.
The report stated that, counting those
who were interested In all these Drancnes,
there were in round numbers more tnan
5000 persons in the students section OF the
society. The secretary stated that be-
ginning has been made of the permanent
library which 1t is proposed to establish in
the rooms of the society in the Ohio Bank
building. The secretary expressed the opin-
ion that the success of the Bible lecture
course established by the society warrants
the extension Of the plan to other cities.
The report states an assembly under the
auspices of the society will be held In Ashe-
Vile, N c., beginning July IS and continu-
ing four weeks. The hope was expressed
that during the coming year steps would
be taken toward the organization Of the
proposed child's culture club. The receipts
during the year were stated to be $4,OS4
AMI the balance in the treasury 500. 1t was
stated that in order to carry on the work
efficiently at least $4,000 would be needed.
With a view of raising that amount the
executive committee had elected Rev. A. J.
Church, DID,, as financial agent.
Reports on the Bible Reading Union by
Rev. G. B. Patch, and Mr.. C. w. Needham
on the Sunday School Teachers Club were
submitted.
An address on the Bible and Sociology,
being the fourth in the course on the Bible,
was then delivered by w. T. Harris. COM
missioner of education. The speaker traced
the history Of the chosen people Of Israel
as outlined in the Scriptures. He said that
the old dispensation revealed the person
ality of God in institutions. the highest in
stitution being the infinite. invisible church.
The address, which was highly interesting.
was listened to with the closest attention.

era1 hundred men stationed at each have

Hova battery at Mahabo. The enemy was
driven out with loss of eight killed. Two
cannons were captured. The population of
the village gathered around the tombs of

finding that the French respected the
graves they yielded and asked protection

of 5000 men at MADAME, on the other side

companies Of infantry and artillery, at

The Belt street railway management has

served by that corpofation do not appear

sense and justice has been conspicuously
apparent Perm t me On behalf of the sew
enty-five or more men employed on the
brown cars to protest against the inhu-
manity from whierJt those unfortunate
beings daily and hourly suffer. The hours
Of their employment number more than
twelve, and frequently more than thirteen,
each day: yet from the time they get on
are not afforded even lhe shadow of an op-
rortunity to attend TO anything but the
company's business. Nowhere on their dis
torted route are they allowed to stop, save
for the picking up OR dropping Of passen-
gers or the changing of horses. In the

develop. but the management makes no
provision for their relief. It is probably
unknown to the people of Washington thar

A Bachelor Who Had an Idea There
Was Some Compensation.
A Star reporter was talking the other
evening to an Ohio man, who owns a
peach rancho down in Georgia. He had
month or six weeks, and had learned sew
eral things about the Crackers, which he
had not hitherto suspected.
They're a queer lot" he went on, land
I had a most interesting time amopg them
You see 1 staid on my place right with
them, and was thus enabled to see them
and learn their peculiarities as 1 could not
possibly have done in any other way. One
of the oldest specimens was a bachelor
farmer who lived down the road from my
place about half a mule. He was an old
chap and about shiftless any in the
entire county, and the way he lived was
sight to behold. One morning as l passed
his farm l saw him fixing a tumble-down
fence, and l stopped. All around were ap-
pies and pumpkins and other farm products
going to waste. and off al little distance
were beech and chestnut trees with nuts in
abundance and nobody paying any atten-
ton to them"
Good morning, says I.
"'How dy',' says he.
you've got a good deal of stuff around
here says 1.
Yes says he. yankng out a fence rail-
And it's all going to waste, says 1.
81 reckon it is says he, careessly.
"'You ought to have a wife and children
to use it up says 1.
81 don't have to- says he, soiemnly.
I've got hogs
And that was all the satisfaction 1 got
out of him." concluded the BUCKEYE, with
a laugh.
