AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Citizens Do Not Like the Estimates fer
Streets.
Claim Western Section Has Been
NeSlected-Other Local Notes
of General Interest.

The citizens of Georgetown are incenSed
over the action of the Commissioners in
their estimaeS for the next fiscal year in
the line of municipal improvements. Not
a single street in this section of tine city is
embraced in the schedule, the improve
inents going to all other sections of the
city but Georgetown. This is something
which has never happened before since the
present form of government was inaug-
urated, the people say. There are thor
oughfares in the heart of town which are
sadly in need of repair, and which have
been in such condition for number of
years, and yet no action has been taken to-
ward improving them. The only improve
ment that Georgetown has received lately
is the asphalting of NJ street, from Poto-
mac street to the Aqueduct bridge, and
this the citizens regarded as an unjust

from all over the United States to the arena
Of the Bohemian Sporting Club in New

There was fairly strong betting contin-
gent among the spectators and Lavigne was
the favorite, several bets being registered
at odds of 10O to 40 on the Saginaw lad.
There were also good many bets at even

For the next few years he gave his

cluded from the columns of the Japanese
papers he started organs of his own, but
these were SO frequently suspended and
suppressed that he soon seuandered a
large fortune. Popular sympathy was
with him, however, for when the i'm

Two sessions ago he was further honored

dignity and rare ability, his decGsi ons

justice, which was something of a reve-

Major Josiah Grout, the Republican
candidate for governor of Vermont, is a
genuine Green mountain boy. He was
born in Derby, Vt, in 1912, and for

broke out and enlisted in Company of
the First Vermont cavalry. He was
chosen second lieutenant and rose to the
rank of captain in 1868, during which
year he was severely wounded. He was
reported as "killed in action but re-
turned home all right and became a
major in the frontier cavalry.
When hostilities ceased, Major circuit

the bar. After practicing in various
parts of New Hampshire and Vermont
he removed to Chicago, but returned to

FOURTH AT THE ASYLUM.
A Patient 6 Feet 6 Inches Tall I'm
personated Uncle Sam.

The various holidays and anniver-
saries are observed by the large asy-
Ium family much the same as by small
Ter families. The members of the aSy-
lum family, however, are so numerous
that they are enabled to a have big
celebration among themselves.
For the Fourth a picnic in the beau
tiful walnut grove on the grounds was
planned, and speakers stand erected
with seats arranged around in a nat
ural amphitheater- The heavy fail Of
grove so wet that the exercises were
held in the asylum hall
The. patients from the various depart
ments formed like military companies
and marched to the hall to the sound of
fife and drum. Mr.. Samuel Burris, one
of the patients, bout six feet six inches
in height, dressed as Uncle Sam, car
ried the national flag. At the hall the
exercises consisted OF music by the asy-
lum band, the singing of patriotic songs
by the large chorus and an address by
A. H. Vance. Superintendent Eastman
acted as master of ceremonies, and
everybody had a good time.
Two or three barrels of lemonade,
fifty gallons of ice cream and some
cake furnished the Fourth of July
treat.
Among the large number of patients
at the asylum cases are not unfre
quently found in which the regular
medical staff find it advantageous to
consult members of the medical pro-
fession who devote their time to diff
ferent specialites. The physicians and
surgeons of Topeka have kindly re-
sDonded to calls of this kind which
have been made in the past, and would
