The Boys Anxious for Service.

THE boys are all anxious to be sent
somewhere and every one is set on seeing
the war out. 1t nearly broke my heart to
be sent back, but my eyes wouldn't stand
the climate, so the doctors said, and that
settled it. The regiment won't be ordered
anywhere for two weeks, 1t is confidently
felt by the men and officers.
THE dog tents have been replaced by
large ones and now the men can dress in
side. 1t looked mighty funny at reveille to
see the fellows trying to get out of those
dog tents and pulling them down on top
OF them. You see the sand is very deep
and the peg of dog tent is only six inches
long and won't hold in such soil. Then the
men had to dress outside of those dog
tents, as there was not enough room with

a ballet nightly.

After the routine work Of minute reading
roll call, etc, and the passage of a resolu-
ton deprecating any effort to compel or
allow the Brightwood Railway Company
to abandon the use Of it's Mt. Pleasant
branch on Marshall and Kenyon streets, as
tending to deprive the citizens of valua-
Bile privilege, the question of highway ex-
tension was introduced by the submission
by Mr.. Shoemaker Of the following resolu-
tions:
Resolved. That this association believes
that 1t is for the best interest of the Dis
trict of Columbia that the highway act
Of 1893 should be repealed in toto, as pro-
vided by House bill 1O,2O9.
Resolved, That the representatives of
this association in the central committee
are directed to procure, If possible the
amndment of the House bill for repeal

to vote they were carried almost unani-
mously, there appearing to be but one dis
senting vote.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. Lee in
dorsing the proposed opening Of 18th street
from Florida avenue was unanimously
adopted. it being the consensus of opinion
that such opening would tend toward the
solution of the important question of
