are those of the Clarendon mills, which
employ 200 operatives, and the West Boyls-
ton Manufacturing Company, where a
greater number of hands are working
In planning for the changes the question

largely into the discussion between the
metropolitan water board and owners Of
the praperty taken for the Improvement.
In most cases. however, settlement has
been reached by the payment either of the
sum based upon the assessed valuation of
the property or. leaving the ques ion of
price to the town for adjustment.

FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
MeetfnG OF the District Association to
BE Held ThuFsday Evening.

Meeting OF the District Association to
BE Held thursday Evening.
The District OF Columbia Woman Suf-
frage Association will hold its regular
meeting in the Riggs House parlor Thurs
day evening. June 10. at 7:30 O'Clock. After
the regular order q well-known woman
lawyer will read q paper before the society.
The members extend q cordial Invitation
to friends to be present.
The following are given as six out Of
sixty reasons why this association exists:
I. Because women are American citizens,
and the Constitution Of the United States
says: The right Of citizens Of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any
state. on account Of race. color or previous
condition Of servttude."
z Because they are Taxpayers and 1t is
principle Of our government that taxa
ton and representation are inseparable.
.. Because every citizen should have q
voice in the selection of those who make
the laws which he or she must obey.
4. Because every citizen in q free republic
Is entitled to individual representation. and
no person having but one vote can repre-
sent himself and another person, even with
the latters consent
D. Because q vote means power and wo-
men need this power to protect the inter-
ests or themselves, their homes, their chill
dren and society.
g. Because politics, which means the gov
ernment, needs the combined influence of
men and women. Without the ballot wo-
mans influence Is indirect, negative and
irresponsible. Votes talk, votes count.
votes compel respect, votes accomplish.

mtttee In charge was instructed to appear
before the Commissioners and enter q pro-
test against the operation Of this plant
and to take such steps as might be deem
ed proper looking to condemnation Of the
crematory and It's removal. The Anacostia
railroad was not forgotten. It was termed
the mysterious railroad Of the city. The
road. 1t was claimed. has been operating
20 the disadvantage of the residents Of
this section, and q special committee was
appointed to take steps to compel the COM
parry to run its cars over the route speci-
ned in Its charter, at regular intervals. or
abandon the route altogether. and make
room for some other company which will
give South Washington better accommoda-
ton.

In power, Is allowed to remain in Its pres
ent en condition. and many deaths are
charged to its account. 1t was denounced
as disgrace to the capital Of the nation.

this description of property lies in South

This law was declared to be very detri-
mental to South Washington. and the hope
was expressed that in the near future it
would be changed
