Founding of Capital City to be APP
PrOpriately COmme grated.

What will no doubt be regarded as an i'm
portant step in the movement toward the
celebration of the centennial anniversary
of the establishment of the national capital
in this city was taken last evening, at a
meeting OF citizens, at the rooms of the
beard OF trade, 1410 G street northwest. 1t
vas then decided that the proposed cele-
bration in 1900 should be an appropriate
recognition of what was spoken of as a
great national historic event, and that the
general government should be invited to
join with the local government of the Dis
trict in properly observing the occasion!
IL was also suggested that as a result of
the centennial anniversary, some perma-
nent memorial of the event should be erect
ed in this city, and that the necessary eX-
pe nses should be divided equally between
the two governments.
The committee that met last evening was
the enc appointed by District Commissioner
John b. Wight, who had been requested to
do so py resolution adopted at a Meeting
of citizens in the Lehman building. the 24th
ultln-o. Mr. Wight was designated as chair

-\OyeS, Lawrence Gardner and John JOY
Edison.
Mr. w. S. Mexican, who has taken an
active part in initiating the movement,
vas present, and gave briefly his ideas of
the scope of the proposed celebration
There Was full interchange of views as
to tie form and character of the ceebra-
tion, with the result that the committee
reached unanimously the conclusion above
outlined.
1t was further decided that the commit
tee should call upon the President of the
United States in body, invite his attention
TO the coming anniversary, and sugges.
that in his annual message to Congress he
call the attention of that body to this mat
ter, with the view of securing the co-opera-
ton of the general government with the
local government to make the observance
of the centennial worthy of the historic
in portance of the event celebrated
AS far as opinions expressed al the meet
ing last evening Indicated it is the desire,
before any definite plan is adopted, that
the participation of the general government
should first be secured, that when the
committee of arrangements is appointed,
representatives of the general government
should be given places on such a commit
tee.
a subc ommittee was appointed to prepare
a statement to be presented to the Pres.-
dent, and then the committee adjourned

To the Editor Of Tie Evening Star:
1 would like 10 call the attention Of your

Fublico,' who cleverly pOrtrays what (evi-
dentiyJ he would have us do in celebrating
the 1900 Washington centennial to the fact
that all the sports and amusements he
enumerates are for men He must remem-
Der that there are a great many women
here. and that probably 80 per cent of the
visitors would be women. Would he limit
Us To horse races and athletic games?
Cannot think OF anything in particular for
Us, but surely Pro Bono fertile imagina-

What lie mas offered. besides the men, that
