CITIZENS FAVOR A CHANGE
Propose to Abolish the Office of
Superintendent of Charities.
The Northeast Association ADOPTS n
Resolution for Organization OF
q Board Of Fifteen.

The Northeast Washington Citizens AS
sociation took action, at is regular meet
ing last night, in favor of abolishng the
office of superintendent of charities, and
in favor of the organization of a board OF
charities for the District, instead.
A resolution was adopted prescribing that
the board proposed shall consist OF fifteen
members, to he appointed by the Commits
sioners, and to serve for three years with
out compensation.
IL Is also d part of the plan that one
third OF the members OF the board shall be
appointed for one year. one-third for two
years, and the remainder for three years,
and that the District shall be divided into
fifteSC wards, one member to be selected
from each.
The Commissioners are to provide suit
able quarters for the accommodation Of
the board, and to appoint. upon the recon-
mendation, citizen to serve S secretary,
who shall have charge OF the office, and
receive compensation for his services.
A copy of this resolution was ordered to
be sent to the Committee on Appropriations
of the Senate and House, and to the Com
missioners.
The association expressed itself as in
| ing for the appointment of citizen Of
East Washington IS one of the two Com
mssioners of the District soon to be chosen.
| The committee appointed at recent meet
| ing to take this matter in charge was con-
| tnued, with the view of cooperating with
| the East Washington Association to ac-
complish the purpose.
resolution was adopted strongly in
| corsing the recomm endation of the Com
1 mss.oners as contained in their estimates
| for the ensuing year for an appropriation
| OF $780, 600 to provide manual training
| schools.
amendment was offered, however, in
| creasine the number of such schools IS to three
and providing that one of the three shall
be located in East Washington.
| President Tucker made reference to the
| bIoad-minded, comprehensive report sub
| mitted by the Commissioners to Congress
| uIon the Baltimore and Ohio viaduct bill
| and expressed his qualification that so able
| presentation of the question had beer
| made.
On motion of A. II. F Halsten, it was
| directed that a committee of three be ap-
| pointed on charity, and that such com.
mittee, when appointed, be instructed to
see that East Washington shall receive
its share OF the public funds, if any, which
may be available for charitable purposes.
Upon the general subject of charity, a
general discussion arose, and the general
| sentiment expressed was strongly COM
| mandatory Of the police method of afford
| ing relief, as against any other.
Remarks on that line were made by
| Messrs. Tucker, Frizzell, Chapel and
| others, and as an instance OF the efficiency
OF the police department the story recently
printed in The Times was quoted in which
! it was shown that case Of destitution
was reported, Investigated, and relief
| furnished all in less than an hour.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Successor of Federal Executive Is
Not Held by Injunction.

The United states Supreme Court yester-
day in an opinion by Justice Gray, held that
an application for an injunction against an
executive officer of the government was
vacated by his death or resignation.
The court maintained in an Oregon land
case against Secretary Hoke Smith that
thesuccessor of an executive officer against
whoma mandamus or injunction was sought
was not responsible in the matter.
As Mr.. Smith had ceased to be Secretary
of the Interior the court would not con-
slider the application with reference to
Secretary Francis. Mr.. Lamoreux is still
commissioner of the land office, but the
court held that he could not be responsible
for what Mr.. Smith had done.

single legs and one leg with two feet,
all inside of one shell, the double foot
growing between the heads. Either
head can control the double foot, but
only its own side feet, and unless both
heads are of one mind neither can move
the shell. Both heads must be fed,
which shows that there are two stom-

JoHNsoN'S YOUTH.
How the President Began Life In .
south Carolina TatIor's Shop.

south Carolina TaiIor's Shop.
Three-quarters of a century ago in
the little village of Laurens, in the state
of South Carolina, there lived and Ia
bored at the tailor's trade young man
who was destined to play an important
part in the affairs of the nation. Of
humble origin, and having had prac-
tically no educational advantages, he
had in his character the elements of
true manhood and by force of brain
power and ability attained the highest
position of honor and trust in the re-
public.
Andrew johnson left his home in
North Carolina by reason of trouble
with his employer, and went to the
then ultra-eXclusive and aristocratic
village of Laurens. He had no inhuen-
tial family connections, and was as
poor as the traditional church mouse,
his worldly possessions consisting only
of the clothes he wore. To one ac-
quainted with the social conditions of
the ante-bellum south, the difficulties
incident to obtaining recognition by
man handicapped as Johnson was can
readily be imagined. The sterling
worth of the young tailor, however,
made itself felt, and demanded the adj
miration and respect soon accorded
him even by those who were wont to
consider one not to the manner born de-
serving Of but condescending notice.
Soon after reaching Laurens Johnson
car11ra1 TNncitinn in, n fnilnrir h
lishment, and this he held with perfect
satisfaction to his employers until his
return to his North Carolina home. He
was a painstalIing laborer. and took
commendable pride in doing his work
as perfectly as possible. A coat cut, fit
ted and made by Johnson is still in eX-
istence. 1t was made for Col. Henry c.
Young, a prominent lawyer and poll
tician of upper California, and is now
treasured by his descendants as one of
their most precious possessions. The
fact that the coat is still in good state
of preservation may possibly be taken
as an evidence of the excellency and
durability of the work.
Johnson's stay at Laurens, brief as it
was, marked very important epoch in
his life. 1t was there that he met his
first love, Miss Sarah Word, a charming
young woman of education and refine
ment, who saw in the modest and re-
firing young journeyman tailor a man
of character and strength and promise.
Johnson's regard for Miss Word was re-
ciprocated, and the young people en-
tered into an engagement to marry.
They were thrown constantly into each
others society, and the future presi-
dent of the United States once assist
ed his fiance in laying. stufIing and
quilting a quilt. This quilt is now
owned by Mrs. J. T. Bolt, of Laurens,
granddaughter of Miss Word. who sub,
sequently married William Hance. On
either side of the quilt are Miss Words
initials, IS. w." which were made
stuffed and quilted by Johnson, unas.
sisted. The enthusiastic young lover
was very DESTROYS OF placing his own in
itials beside those of his sweetheart,
but this Miss Word would not permit.
The quilt was on exhibition at the At.
lantic exposition last fall and attracted
much attention.-National Magazine.
