work Mrs. Douglass firmly intends if the
idea can be carried out in conformity with
her wishes, that Cedar Hill, the home of
Douglass for the last nineteen years of his
life, shall be preserved intact a memorial
of the man. There have been obstacles to
overcome before any definite step could be
taken in this matter by Mrs. Douglass, the
principal difficulty being certain litigation
that arose over the disposal of property, IN

has succeeded III obtaining possession OF
Cedar Hill now she at last prepared TO en-

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Every intelligent workingman in the Dis
trict of Columbia--in fact, in the whole
country-will indorse the sentiments ex-
pressed in an article appearing in the edi-
torial columns Of your paper of September
Is, in which you deprecate the delay in
paying wages to the mechanics and labor
ers employed on the new city post office.
l understand they have since been paid.
for which, 1 presume, they are duly CRATE
full. But the thousands of workmen in this
city have something more for which to be
grateful. The leading daily of the city,
ever on the side of right and justice, has
come forward as the advocate of the hum
BILE workman. They have discovered that
the rays of The Evening Star shine alike
for the poor workman and the rich con-
tractor. Every labor organization in the
city will hail with joy this evidence of pro-
gressive and fearless American journalism
at the nations capital. 1t will inspire them
to conduct their affairs in such an equit-
able and conservative manner as to retain
the good will and support of their powerful
ally. JOHN P. HEALY

At meeting OF the county commission
ers, held here yesterday, bids for the con-
struction of the turnpike road between
Rockville and the District line near Bethes-
da were opened, and the contract was
awarded to Mr.. W. d. Sales OF Orange

the square yard of madacam complete for
the seven sections of the proposed road
Under these specifications the bid of Mr.

entire work. This is thu amount named in
the law passed by the last legislature
authorizing the construction of the road
II IS understood that the commissioners are

as possible. The construction of the road

the line. Much satisfaction is expressed
here at the prospect of a good road to
Washington.
The meeting of the board of school COM
mjssoners. held here yesterday, was large
ly attended, and much interest was mani
Tested in the proceedings. For some time
there has been a contention between the
several schools in regard to the right to
appoint assistant teachers. This state of
affairs eliminated at the opening of the
schools on Thursday last, when the trustees
OF the schools at Hunting Hill and Travi-
lab, having made appointments of their
own, declined TO recognize the assistants
appointed by the board. An appeal was
taken to the board by the ousted teachers,
and this came up for consideration yester-
day. Robert b. Peter of the Rockville bar,
appeared for the trustees, and argued the
case, quoting the opinion of the attorney
general and decision of the courts in favor
of their contention that the power to APP
point was vested in the trustees of the
several schools of the state. The board
finally determined that the appointments
made by that body should stand, and that
no vacancy had occurred in the schools in
question. An appeal to the state board of
education was thereupon filed by Mr.. Peter,
and the question will come up before them
at their next meeting. AS the regular
meeting of the state board will not take
place for some weeks, 1t is thought that
an extra meeting may be called. The con-
tention over this matter is not confined to
this county alone, but is prevalent in other
parts of the state, and it is thought that
the sooner it is settled the better it will
be for the interest of the public schools.
