Judge r. r. Nelson of the United
States district court created quite a
sensation in court at Duluth last Fri
day noon by making the annouce-
ment that he had rendered his resig-
nation to take effect Immediately. He
had just passed his seventieth year
and served thirty-nine years on the
bench. The judge was hard and
faithful worker and respected by all
classes. He will be succeeded, if CON
frmed, by Pension Commissioner
Judge Lochren, of Minneapolis.

The question what price shall be charged
for gas may be settled in the District ap-
preparation bill instead of by u separate
measure after all. Since the obstacle
opposed the other day by Mr.. Call there
has seemed to be no disposition on the
part of the District Committee to call the
matter up again.
Senator Faulkner has been here all this
week and there have been two or three
opportunities when it might have been
considered, but nothing has been done.
1t Is understood the Senators1who favor
reduction of the price and with whom
Senator Call says he wishes TO act, feel
that the bill is the best they could do
and if Mr. Call thinks anything better can
be secured they are perfectly willing TO
cooperate with him when the fact is made
evident.

as it came from the House fixes rhe price
OF gas at 10 cents per thousand feet and

CURIOSITIES IN STREETS.
Memorial to Congress on the Need of
Better System of Names

Better System of Names,
The memorial of the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association relative to the NAM
ing Oh minor streets in this city, submitted to
congress In connection with a street
nomenclature bill, contains much informa-
ton that is both interesting and astonishing
IN regard to the multi-dupcation Of names.
The memorial is as follows:
The fact is doubtless well known that
great lack OF system exists in the street
nomenclature of tie District Of Columbia.
good example Of this is furnished in the
section which our association represents
our territory comprises several subdivisions,
and is bounded on the south by Florida ave-
hue, on the west by Fifteenth street ex-
tended, on the north by Spring street and on
the eastby yBrightwood avenue. Manyoftbe
streets running east and west, bet ween
Brlghtwood avenue and Fifteenth street,
nave tWo and often three names each. Take
Roanoke street for example. The coptin-
uatlon or this street to the eastward, t.e-
tween the line of Eleventh street extend
ed, Which is the dividing line between the
subdivision OF Columbia Heights and Todd
and Brown, and Brightwood ayeGue is
known as Irving street, while the west
ern end, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets, is called Euclid place. Similar en-
barrasSlng conditions exist everywhere
IN the District, and the confusion and moon
venlence resulting therefrom eau readily
be understood.
And then the great repetition in names
Is most confusing. More than one-cightb
of the thousand names comprised in the
nomenclature OF the public thoroughfares
of the District are repeated once at least.
while in numerous instances three and
often as many as five and six repetit,ops
OF tile same name occur. The name OF
Brown" is represented by two streets,
| two alleys. three courts and one road
| There are four Central avenues. Two
| streets and two alleys are called ''Con.
| gress." There are three Howard" av-
| enues and four Pleasant" five Tea"
| and two Pig alleys. Four streets are
named Madison" while the names of
| "Schdol,' warren Washington and
| Park" are represente> by three streets
| each, each also having one or more alley,
| place or court to its credit.
In the minor streets and alleys are
| found many vulgar and ridiculous names
! which shock the senses. such as Zigzag
| Tin Cup. Cabbage, Swing Hammer, Hog,
Pig. Cow, Goat Fighting. Chinch, and
| Louise. Surely we are not so poor IN
material ms to be forced to use such in
! appropriate names.

on Tuesday the matter was reported
to the Wilder steamship Office.
The Japanese characters in brass on
the wooden arm of the buoy led the
steamship company to telephone to the
Japanese Consulate.
The secretary was sent down and
found the letters to read Banjo" the
the name of a Japanese gunboat Re-
ceiving an order from c. L. Wight for
the delivery of the buoy into his pos
session, he put it into a hack and took
it to the consulate yesterday morning
A reporter of this paper called lit
tie later and found the buoy forming a
very nice decoration on the veranda
The secretary stated that it was just
barely possible that the Banjo" might
have been wrecked, but not in the tidal
wave as some people supposed, for ad-
vices from Japan dated July 18th, 1896,
reported the gunboat in Corea looking
out for japanese interests. How the
buoy ever came to get away from the
Banjo is mystery.
The gunboat Banjo" has the follow
ing measurements: Length over all,
1894; breadth, 260; depth, 1871. Her
gross tonnage is 70S and her indicated
horse power $40.

danger of its being turned up, which in
a year or two kills the plant.
The other precautions to be taken in
planting do not require special mention,
as they are such as would commend
themselves to any one having even a
slight knowledge of arboriculture. The
best time for planting is the early part
of the rainy season. Irrigation and also
manuring are sometimes resorted to in
Mexico, but if suitable site has been
selected neither will be necessary on a
new plantation. 1t may be added that
the practice. of manuring the nursery
ground is not good one, as it units
the young plants for their ultimate des-
tination.
The export of coffee from Mexico in
1S94-5 was 324,395 cwt. The cost OF
coffee growing per acre in the sixth and
subsequent years after planting is esti-
mated at FL It's, and the receipts from
crop of 1,200 pounds of coffee at q
Mexican cents are put down at f27 IS,
leaving a margin of Els IS per acre for
interest on capital and profits to the
owner. In making these calculations it
has been assumed that a good site has
been chosen for the plantation, and that
the land and its products have been
treated.

means of the dredger pipes, the new
wall along the Nuuanu stream, confin-
ing the water to a certain limit, and the
whole appearance of the place goes to
show that some good work has been
done by Superintendent of Public
Works w. E. Ravell and his assistants.
The wall is not yet completed, but
will be in a little while. Hotel street
used to run into a marsh and a small
wooden building where Cinnamon used
to clean the bones of their relatives
preparatory to sending them back to
China for interment. Now there is a
complete change. 1t runs directly into
King street, and at this point is very
nicely curved. All the old buildings
have been removed and now none but
the very best are given place. Stand
ing at the foot of Hotel street and look
ing up, the Arlington Hotel can be
plainly seen. There is a clean sweep
for the cooling breezes that are so
scarce now, and the disagreeable smells
from the marshes that used to exist are
a thing of the past.
The most convenient part of this adj
dition to Hotel street is the fact that
now there is straight run to King
without having to turn off on some
side street.
Just now men are busy at work NOV
ing the houses to the rear, and about
the chemical engine house, so as to pro-
vide for the cutting through of Pauahi
street clear to the stream. After the
wall in that vicinity is completed the
dredger will be set to work filling in.
1t will not be long before men will
be set to work digging the new bed
which will join the present stream
several hundred feet above st. Louis
College, doing away with Smiths
bridge and making the course straight
The stream will run along in front
of st. Louis College. There will be q
twenty-foot driveway between the bank
and the College fence.

OPERA HOUSE LIGHTED.
Mrs. Irwin Selects COlors for the

MTS. lfWln Selects tOlOrS Tor the
Balcony Projections.
The Opera House was lighted last
night throughout, between the hours
of and 9, for the purpose of allowing
Mrs. W. G. Irwin a chance to inspect
and pass judgment upon the colors used
on the ceiling and the balcony projec-
ions of the four boxes. Mrs. Irwin ex-
pressed herself as being very much sat
isfied with the color of the ceiling, al
though by daylight she had thought
this too light. The incandescent cleo
trio lights seemed to produce just the
proper effect, and brought out most sat
isfactorily the ornamental work.
Each one of the four balcony projec-
lions had been painted different color
so as to give room for a choice None
of those represented were chosen, but
Mrs. Irwin expressed wish that they
be painted kind of golden bronze to
accord with the panels of the theater,
and also that the tips of the plumes be
gilded.
The walls will be painted light sal
mon color, to accord with the panels.
A walk around the theater disclosed
the all-important fact that from any
point in the building where seats are
placed a good view of the whole stage
can be obtained.
