THE SWEEPING OF STREETS
Through Traffic ON the Gannl Inter

Rock Creek Completed.


A written complaint had been sent to
the District Commissioners by many cltl-
zens Of Georgetown against the recently
inagurated practice Of sweeping the
streets in that part of the city with ma
chimes during the busy hours Of the day.
The complaint sets forth that it is parti-
cularly dangerous at this time of the
year, in consequence of the leaves being
wet by the water sprinkled on them TO
allay the dust, preparatory to sweeping.
This, they claim, endangers the lives of
bicyclists and horses. Horses are fire.
Quently frightened by the sweeping ma
chine and several runaways have result
ed The complainants ask that the old
practice OF sweeping the streets during
the night be resumed.

4 MODEST REQUEST.

The University of Chicago is hard up.
II has only $l2oNoo and its annual de-
ncit is about $4,000, as compared with its
necessary expenditures. 1t, therefore.
asks Mr. Rockefeller for 100000, and
certainly that gentleman ought not 10
hesitate to pass over the pitiful little
sum.
II is entirely in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things that Mr.. Rookie
fsller should respond. He should do so
from sense of gratitude and from the
standpoint of business. When We remem-
her how Nh Rockefeller has accumulated
and is nm accumulaung most of his
loose pocket change it is clear that it is
TO his advantage 20 encourage the con-
sumption Of midnight oil-to keep the
students lamp flaming.
The request is an exceedingly modest
one. MT. Rockefeller would only Doe pour
ing oil upon the troubled waters. with the
result that the Chicago educational ship
would ride out the storm of embarrass-
ment safely and prove an argosy TO him
in the end.
And just here We would give Mr. Rookie
Teller a. further business tip. There are
down i'm this section several educational
sbips that. like the Chicago University,
are also being buffetcd by financial waves.
and which might be turned into a fleet Of
argosics-or. perhaps, at this particular
