MOUNT PLEASANT.
Citizens Association Transacted Some
business Last Night.

The regular monthly meeting of the Mt.
Pleasant Citizens Association was held
last evening, President ]. w. Someryille
presiding. The meeting aas a brief one,
the most important business transacted be-
ing. the adoption of a resolution reques :ing
the House of Representatives to consent
to the amendments made by the Senate TO
the District appropriation bin providing
for improvements in Mt. Pleasant and its
vicinity.
President Somerville reported that the
Sepate had granted the much needed i'm
prcNement of the village school house aud
ne also reported that the Senate had pro-
vided for the immediate eauipment OF a
steam fire engine in place of the chemical
engine now stationed in No. IL house on
1ith street near Eenesaw avenue
Mr.. Chaplin Brown, in referring to ths
Presidents approval OF the act authoriz-
ing the extension of the Metropolitan rail-
road along Columbia road 10 18th street,
stated mat he had been credibly informed
that President Harries has already signed
the contracts for the proposed extension
The extended line, he had also been in
formed, would be completed I'm ninety
lays. although the act allowed six months
That, said Mr.. Brown is another striking
instance OF the progre ssiVe spirit of the
present management of the road. and Ii
gave the people of Mt. Pleasant reason for
confidently believing that in a compara-
lively short time The road will be extend
ed out to Mt Pleasant.
Upon the motion Of Mr.. A. II. ChatfieId.
resolution was unanimously adopted re-
qresting the House of Representatives to
accept the amendmeAts made by the SEN
ate TO the District Approximation bill pro-
NlcIng for improvements IN Mt. Peasant
and vicinity, particularly those providing
the sum OF slo,uuc for sraclng and regulate
ing Lowell street, and a like sum for so
improving henesaw avenue and Park ToaL.
In moving the adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Brown stated that the Improvements
OF these streets had been recommended toy
the District Commissioners, upon their own
motion, being for the purpose of carryin,
out liEes of improyeme ats heretofore man
pea cut 10y them, and for which appropria-
uons have been made from time to time
10 withhold the appropriations now sane
Mr.. Brown, would be a great hardship and
a great injustice. If the appropriations
m ace by the Senate are retained in th. bin
keEesaw avenue Will thereby be CON-
pleted to the Zoo Park, and a roadway
had from kenesaw avenue along the east
ern boundary of The Zoo Park to the en-
trance Of Rock Greek Park Proaerty
owners en- Lowell street. he explained have
dona ted forty feet along the north side OF
the street with the understanding that
The appropriations VIII be made.

THE "FAkIRs- IN TOWN.
A Horde of Street Peddlers Desceud
Upon the Capital.

The "fakirs" are very much in evidence
on the streets today. From the Capitol to
the treasury building they may toe both
seen and heard crying their wares-"Get dc
cn'y 'fishal souvenir oh de 'naug' ration"
DE 'fishal program OF de ceremonies" On
every square some dozens of the gentry
are found. In front of the stores little
stands are placed, where badges medals
ana other souvenirs are displayed 20 catch
the eye OF the passer-by, and when the
contents OF the stands fail TO attract the
stentorian tones of the .fakir'' in charge
are bouno to do SO. Conspicuous among
the articles on sale are large gilt medallions
of the President-elect and flags, canes urn-
brellas, badges, pins. buttons handker-
chiefs, photographs, neckt.es made of .Oll
Glory, with pictures of Mckinley, etc
In fact, the variety Is greater than ever
before seen in Washington. One fakir dis
plays more than twenty different kinds of
medals and badges. Every train brings
recruits to this line of trade, and they
'-open up" almost soon as they reach
the sidewalk.
The ticket scalper appeared this morning,
and their "criers" may be heard outside of
impromptu ticket Offices solicipag-"Here
you are, tickets cas-, wes' mort, sout'
bought. Sold and exchanged" And they
seem to be doing a thriving business

One Of the subjects to come before

One Of the subjects to come before
the meeting of the State Teachers
Association in December is the pres
ent inequality in the school tax laws
of Kansas. In the collection of ma
terid for the association on this
point, it is found that in the County
of Washington the tax rate ranges
from 4 to 80 mills on each 81 of
valuation; in Woodson County, from
l to 80; in Reno, from 5 to 80: in
Shawnee, from 8 to n. The
teachers claim that it is a very I'M
JEST law that forces one community to
pay nine times more school taxes
than another, in the same county,
and that such a law needs to be cor
rected before there can be other re-
forms in the school system or higher
wages paid to those who conduct the
schools.

IeooA Ch1l0roA 8oonoOys
Boston Globe: The public schools
of Brussels have their shortcomings,
no doubt, but failure to impress
economy on the minds of pupils is
not to be numbered among them.
During q period Of eight months the
children were asked by their in
structors to bring to school such
waste and apparently useless articles
as they might chance to find on their
way to school. A great collection
was made. including not less than
1 1926 pounds of tinfoil, 1000 pounds
of metal scraps, 400 pounds of
bottle capsules and old paint tubes
that in the aggregate weighed 220
pounds. As q result of the sale of
this heterogeneous gathering 500
needy children were clothed and
ninety sick children were sent to
hospitals and convalescent homes,
while a handsome remainder was
distributed among the sick poor of
Brussels-all due to this concerted
effort in the line of economy.
