BRIGHTwoOD PARK CITIZENS.
Meeting of the Association to Discuss
Public Needs.

Meeting of the Association to Discuss
Public Needs.
Tie regular monthly meeting of the
Brightwood Park Citizens Association was
held at its usual meeting place last even
ing, Mr.. VIM. NICK. Clayton presiding.
The question of sidewalks was the first
to come up, and the latest Developments
IN the matter, as learned in a recent let
ter from the Commissioners, was declared
to be not as satisfactory as they might be.
After several really unavoidable delays,
1t was stated, the engineer connected with
the sidewalk department Of the District
government made his appearance last week
and made the surveys necessary to set
the lines for the sidewalk. In doing SO he
found 1T absolutely necessary that a great
deal of filling be done before the pave
ments could be made. This was understood
to be because of the unavoidable settling
OF the new ground, and on this account,
it was reported, the work cannot be car
ried on this fall, as it would only neceSsi-
tate Its replacement in the spring. 1t was
further reported that the Commissioners
offer to furnish temporary sidewalks of
heavy bridge timber, should the property
holders desire to put it in place. 1t was
DECIDED as the sense of the meeting that
this offer should be accented
The questions of sewerage and the great
need of a school house were discussed.
The number of families in the Park. to-
gether with those in Petworth, VINO would
be benefited, it was commended, Is amply
sufficient to justify the erection of a school
building.
The applications for membership of
Nessrs. E. L. Stoll and T. w. Mummaw
were favorably reported by the member
ship committee.

An open meeting ofsthe local Federation
OF Labor was he'd list evening at Plas-
terers' Hall. corner a Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and ~ street nsrthwest. President
Roy Carroll presided, = and DR.. e. T. Lee
was secretary. Mr.. Carroll introduced the
speakers, the first d whom was Mr..
Thomas G. Hensey. =
Mr.. Hensey argued 1hat unless the peo-
pie OF the Dfstrid OF Columbia were al
lowed to vote, Congress had no right to
tax the property owners. He claimed
tnat the worst blowf' ever struck at the
rights OF the people of the District was
when Congress, t&enty-six years ago, re-
pealed the charter of Tthe cities of Wash
ington and GeorgaowA and created in its
stead a territorial form Of government.
Ihe secretary read a letter sent by DR..
Robert Reyburn and Mr.. Thomas G. Hen
sey to President Mckinley, requesting an
audience for the purpose of discussing the
question OF restoring suffrage to the people
OF the District. Mr.. Hensey said that the
conference subsequently took place and
that President Mckinley was in favor of
the suffrage movement.
LIT. Robert Reyburn, Mr.. Richard J. Beall
and Mr.. F. L. Siddons presented a report.
whach was adopted, comprising resolutions
expressing the conviction that the members
OF the Federation of Labor knights of La
Dor. Central Labor Union and other citi-
zens of the District of Columbia believe that
the present government OF the District is
un-Amerlcan, and In direct violation OF all
the principles on which the republic was
founded. and should be forthwith abolished;
declaring that it is the most costly munich
pal government in the civilized world.
The present form Of government Of the
District Of Columbia, the resolution stated.
" as never intended to be permanent. With
out any fault of their own, the people have
been deprived Of the ballot. Of tho govern
nlent Of the schools, police, fire and health
departments, and. in fact of all control Of
their municipal affairs. -.
Addresses were made by Arthur Keep,
vice president of the local Federation of
Labor: Donald McCathran, Mr. Cahill DR..
Robert Reyburn. DR.. c. B. Purvis and
others.

COL. R. G. INGERsOLL.-Col R. G..
1ngersoll, one Of the most eloquent orators
of modern times. will deliver at the New
National Theater next Sunday night his
new lecture, entitled why 1 Am An Ag-
nostic." Colonel Ingersoll never fails to at
tract large audience, and the admirers OF
his power Of word painting extend to the
realms of the orthodox In this lecture he
tells the story of how he became an ag-
rostic, beginning with mis- early childhood;
how he " as raised among people who knew
they had the truth. They had no doubts.
They knew that the human heart was ut
terly depraved SO that man by nature was
in love with wrong and hated God with ali
his might.
