A Pleasant Evening Spent With
Them at WimOdaughsis.
A unique entertainment was given by the
Wimodaughsis class in journalism Wednes-
day evening. A twentieth century specula-
ton in the form of complete edition of a
newspaper under date of 1901 was read.
The Cosmos contained creditable and clev-
erly written articles on literature, art GUS
toms, travels and manners in the early
dawn Of the coming century. The widest
speculations Of present-day scientists were
treated as commonplace matters of fact.
Seventeen papers were given, in addition
to many bright news notes, and the audi
ence of a hundred or more were highly en-
tertained. The journal was read in three
sections and these installments were sep
arated by the numbers of musical and
literary program. Vocal solos were rem
dered by Miss Ellie Newton and Mrs. -.-ary
Cooper. Mrs. Florence Russell Lyon gave
two readings. After the program was COM
pleted a dainty luncheon was served and
those present were agreed that the evening
had proved one Of the most enjoyable yet
given this season under the auspices of the
Wiuodaughsis. The members of the class
in journalism were heartily congratulated
upon their successful flight into the future.

ment and attracted a large crowd Of neigh

o Business Investment"
If any one doubts the truth Of the above
axiom which The Star sets forth pretty
much every day. let the doubter read the
following convincing testimony:
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Thinking perhaps 1t will interest you to
learn more evidence Of the pulling power
Of The Star as an advertising medium Tor
the modest advertiser, we beg to tell you
Of the harvest Of returns reaped from our
inch card during the past week. On Satur-
day last we had in stock two barrels Of
hickory nuts, which fact The Star an
nounced in an attractive way, with the
gratifying result that ere the end of the
week we had disposed of every nut, and
have still on file number Of orders to be
filled out Of a new shipment Of three bar
rels expected daily. Each mail brought
two and three orders, besides those re-
ceived from regular customers. We feel
convinced that a small space properly
worked will yield rich returns.
Yours, very truly.

STREET EXTENSION.
Citizens AssOcjation Urges Repeal of
the Highway Act.

Citizens AssOctatiOn Urges Repeal of
the Highway Act.
At a meeting of the Meridian Hill and
Lanier Heights Citizens Association, held
last evening, at the residence Of ex-senator
John B. Henderson, president of the asso-
ciaticn, resolutions urging the repeal of the
highway extension act were adopted unani-
mously. These resolutions set forth that
sit is the sense of the association that the
present highway legislation should be re-
pealed as whole, not modified or amend
ed, and that in view of the verdict of two
juries, We, as an association, appeal to the
Commissioners of the District, and through
them to Congress, to repeal the highway
act absolutely and wholly; that all maps
filed in pursuance thereof be effaced from
the record.
THAT we are in favor of the immediate
condemnation, opening, improvement and
completion of main streets and avenues
through the existing subdivisions of the
District; that Of the actual cost Of the con-
demnation, opening, Improvement and COM
pletion of the said streets and avenues,
or e-half shall be paid by the United States
and one-half out of the revenues of the
District of Columbia; and that bonds shall
be issued at the same time to pay the
amount due from the District of Columbia
for the same"
Ex-Governor W. p Kellogg explained
the provisions of a bill which he hoped to
have enacted providing for the practical
repeal of the present highway act.
The chair was, authorized. to appoint u
committee of seven to urge before Con-
eress the action set forth in the resolution.
The committee will be named later. Messrs.
c. c. Lancaster and E. B. Townsend were
appointed a committee to confer with rep
resentatives from such other associations
may desire to cooperate in securing the
repeal of the highway act.
resolution was introduced providing
that the Metropolitan railroad be further
extended along Columbia read to Ontario
avenue, to Howard avenue. to 14th street.
through private property to 18th street, and
thence east to the head of the line at 9th
street. 1t was adopted. y
