Lincoln" together with several hundred
opinions of his life and character by emf
nent persons in this and other lands
The Memorial Association of the Dis
trict, has until recently had charge of the
house and relics, paying the rent and all
expenses amounting to 500 month, but,
the funds beconsing exhausted, Capt. Old
roged took the entire responsibility on

shot, and the house Oh Tenth street, where
he died. now used as a Lincoln Museum.

Corporations and Public Water.

Editor Times: 1 would like TO know
if it IS not an injustice to the property
holders, taxpayers and tenants in the
neighborhood of Thirteenth and F streets
northwest, for the Metropolitan Railroad
Company TO furnish water for 100 and
more horses each day and might, and draw
off of the public spring water from Frank
lin Park, which causes the flow 10 bt
very weak. The same railroad company
have shown their coIors in the past through
their agents, and they are sun grasping,
and would deny the surrounding nejghbOr-
hood the water they are rghtfuIly entitled
to. They pay a boy seyenty-five cents
TO do the work OF drawing the water,
and bleed the public, when they are able
to fully pay for whatever they want.
Your careful attention is called to this
abuse, and as The Times is a paper OF
the people and for the people, / wish
them to investigate this gross wrong.

Good Roads by Convict Labor.

Editor Times: Why would il not be ex-
pedient TO use convict labor exclusively
for the improveme of the roads OF the
country, instead of in the manufacture Of
various articles that are thrown on the
market III direct competition with the
product of the honest wage-earner?
We need good roads They are a crying
necessity IN every section OF the rural
districts, yet the labor expended on such
improvements seems invariably to be
grudgiuSly given, and the benefit de-
rived the most meager and unsatisfactory
to all concerned It would seem that in
this field Convict labor would come less
into competition with honest industry than
in any other that might suggest itself
