STOPPING OF STREET CARS.
Commissioner Wight Offers SuSgcs-
tiOns for Referring the Service.

Commissioner Wight yesterday submit
ted to the Board of District Commission
ers the question OF the desirabiiity of in
dicating where street cars will stop 10
take on passengers, as is done in other
cities
Many strangers in the city have COM
planned that as the cars stop on the
near side of the street instead OF on the
far side, as is the case in most cites, it
is often annoying to them to be carried
beyond the point at which they wish 10
alight.
The Commissioners have recently in
creased the number of stopping places so
as to accommodate the public, and pro-
vided quite number CT points at which
cars may stop other than the near sides of
missioner Wight has submitted the ques-
tion as 10 whether it might not be con-
venient TO indicate all points where the
cars will stop. Commissioner Wiglt sug-
gests further that it would BE- a con-
yeIience, and perhaps desirable, to have
street cars stop in front Of the principal
hotels going in each direction.
In this connection it is pointed cut by
the president of the board Of Commission
ers that the cars of the Metropolitan Rail
way Company going west and stepping in
front of the Arlington drug store make
it necessary for thog. strangers who step
at the Arlington Hotel to cross a wide
street in the rain and siush frequently.
and the same is asserted to be the case
in the vicinity of other hotels passed by
street car lines.

A DESTITUTE FAMILY.
The Associated Charities Alleged to
Have Refused RELIEF.


Mrs. ]. F. Green, who lives on the third
floor of house No. 637 d Street northwest,
is another complainer against the frigid-
ness OF the Associated Charities.
Mr.. Green is fifty-five and his wife fifty
years old. Green is a cripple. He is a
coach painter by occupation and used TO
work for Mr.. Finley, in Street, near
Twelfth. Last August he lost his situa-
tion. He has earned scarcely anything
since that time, getting work only at odd
times. His wife has done what she could
to help support herself and husband
Her efforts at work, however, have not
produced enough TO keep them, and they
have been getting into debt Their rent

nothing TO pay it with. Food has run
short and they are in serious straits. To
make things worse, daughter twenty
years old. with a baby nineteen months
old. depends upon them for support The
young womans name is Sturges. Some
months ago her husband deserted her.
Mrs Green applied to the Associated
Charities for assistance yesterday. She
said the authorities there treated her very
coldly and, in fact, insulted her.
When asked about at police headGuar-
tiers. officers there said that the Greens
were Il worthy family, and expressed sur

she received at the hands Of the socalled

FOR A DOUGLASS MEMORIAL.
The Commissioners Recommend One
Change in the Proposed Law.

A favorable report by the District Com
missioners has been made on House bill
1888 which was recently referred to them
for consideration and which provides for
the incorporation of the Frederick Doug
lass Memorial and Historical Association.
The Commissioners found nothing OBJ
iectionable in the general features of the
bill, but have recommended that section
be amended This section in the original
draft Of the bill provides that when the
corporation shall have acquired title in fee
simple TO the whole or part of the Doug
lass property in Anacostia known as Cedar
Hill the land and premises thus acquired
shall be declared free from all taxes or
charges and assessments. general or spe-
cial. The Commissioners recommend that
the words, general taxes which become
due and payable subsequent TO the passage
of the act so long as the property is used
for the purpose named be inserted in the
place OF the words "all taxes. charges and
assessments, general or special"
'Inasmuch as all churches and charita-
BILE institutions are assessable for special
taxes the Commissioners state in their
report lit does not seem proper that this
institution should be afforded any other
relief in that respect than is given to other
charitable and benevolent institutions, and
for this reason the Commissioners have
recommended the striking out of that por-
tion of the bill on the subject"
The incorporators of the association are
named in the bill as Helen Douglass, Will
liam II. II. Hart, Francis j. Grimke, May
Wright Sewall, and Edward A. Clarke.
Helen Douglass, widow Of Douglass, is
named rs president of the association.
One of the provisions of the bill looks
to the erection on suitable site on the
Douglass homestead of a monument to the
memory of Douglass. The board of trus-
tees is authorized by the bill to charter
and organize auxiliary associations in
every county in every State in the Union
to solicit funds to carry out the objects OF
the association.
The object OF the organization is to pre-
serve to posterity the memory of the he
roic character and life of the late Freder-
ick Douglass; TO collect collate and pre-
serve an historical record of the inception
progress. and elimination OF the anti
slavery movement in the United States oc
America. and TO assemble in the homestead
of the late Frederick Douglass, commonly
called Cedar Hill. in Anacostia. all other
suitable exhibits OF records or things that
illustrate the anti-slavery movement.
