CITIZENS ENTER PROTEST..
Return to Horse Cars Resisted D.
Congress Heights.

The Congress Heights Citizens Associa-
ton held regular meeting last night. The
hall was crowded. Secretary Emmons read
the protest against using the one-horse car
line of the Anacostia railroad Mr. Prem
der drafted a resolution TO Congress pray
ing for relief from the cigar boxes used
for horse cars Mrs. Eaton said ii was
great blow to all the property owners on
this side of the river, and the association
as body voted TO call on the District Com
missioners and both District committees Of
Congress to protest against the "abomia-
bic railroad facilities" forced upon the COM
munity.
There were many bitter speeches made.
and the practical displacing of the electric
car service formerly given by the Capital
Railway Company by the horse cars of the
Anacosua line was earnestly denounced.
The Capital road operated electric cars from
Congress Heights to the navy yard gate,
where free transfers were issued TO the cars
of the Capital Traction Company. No
transfers are now Issued TO the Capital
Traction cars from this line. II was stated
by gentleman who had secured informa-
ton on the question that IL would probably
be something like two years in the ordinary
course of events, before the City and SUB
urban company would install the Buda
Pesth underground electrical system on the
line of the present Anacostia road. The
conclusion was reached not to indorse any
and Suburban people until a better under
standing than exists at present is arrived at.
1t was stated the transferring with the
Anacostia cars was a great blow to the
people, and that all We're shocked when
they heard of the arrangement. but IL was
understood there was a law enacted at the
last session of Congress which would COM
pei the syndicate to complete an under
ground electric system before June or they
would have to cease running over the
tracks of the Metropolitan railroad. which
was the most valuable part of the Ana
costla charter. therefore il was suggested
tho syndicate should Immediately begin
work, so that the people on this side of the
river could reach the center of the CITY

A CUSTOMS REPORT
The Collector at Havana Speaks About
Coasting Permits and Other Matters.
Believes He is Teaching an Object
Lesson in SeIf-GOvernment
to the Cubans.

Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn
has made public an abstract of recent
report from the collector of customs at
Havana relative to coasting permits and
other matters connected with the custom
affairs of Cuba.
1t appears that curious misconception
exists at Havana relative to the Cuban
coasting permits and the status acquired
by a Spaniard or Cuban who takes the oath
prescribed therein. There are also others
who do not realize that the oath is not one
of allegiance, but of remuneration of al
legiance. The taking of It, and the accom-
panying surrender of previous registry or
national document under which the vessel
has sailed, leaves the owner and the mas
ter men without a country. They become
Cubans; that is, citizens of country which
has no government of International recogni-
ton in the full sense, but of which such
government is in posse The blue and
white flag prescribed for coasting vessels
under the new regime is the nearest ap-
proach to a national flag that has yet
been recognized. When the object lesson
that is now being taught is better learned
1t is thought that these citizens OF no ma
ton, and this flag which represents no ma
ton will become endowed with all the dig
nifty that will come from International rec
IGNITION.

Eject of the Oath and Flag.

Meanwhile the oath and the flag win bring
about an absolutely necessary initial con-
dition. Those who take the oath become
absolved from all allegiance except an un-
sworn allegiance to themselves and the
Island of Cuba. And when the real spirit
which should underlie this unsworn oath
has sufficiently manifested itself in the for

A meeting of the District Bowling League
was held at the Saengerbund last night, fol-
the purpose of considering arrangements
that would enable the Columbia Athletic
Club to continue the schedule. Every club
was represented by full quota of dele
gates. All of the clubs offered the use OF
their alleys to the Columbias, but, after a
thorough discussion, it was decided to re-
arrange the schedule for the second half OF
the season, so that no club would at any
time bowl a match game upon its own al
leys. The effect of this is that all of the
games of the five clubs in the league will be
bowled on the four sets of alleys, the alleys
to be neutral to the contesting teams. The
schedule, as arranged, is as follows:

PRICES FOR SKELETONS.
Latest Quotations. from the European
 Markets for Teeth.

Paaper Europe has caused an out cry from new line of American in dustry, says the Philadelphia Times American articulators of skeletons are up in arms against the importation of the pauper skeletons of Europe. Ma tive bones. i'll consequence of recent importations, are quiet and depressed, while the demand is for the products of the French and German markets. First-class American skeletons are drug in the market at $8@1250, while the Gallic or Teutonic article, not one whit more serviceable, brings a fancy price. A recent FrenchmaH, who hap pened to depart this life with full set of teeth. is offered at $30, ordinarily imported skeletons going from S2O to S2750 according to the number of teeth they were shy. Purchasers can not be fooled by false teeth. The only superiority in the foreign article Is In the matter of complexion. Frenchmen and Germans who have shed all or themselves except their bones bleach better, or their survivors are able to bleach them better. Ill the matter Of articulation the American workman is perhaps the superior of the European artist. but he cannot get in the tints and the refreshing shades of complex ion so much admired by skeleton eX- perts. or those who desire such articles for household ornamentatton. Skulls are $2.50@3.25. varying according to size and the skill displayed ill prepafa- tion \ skull that was prepared for the market with brick is not ill as much favor as one that found it's way in by the natural channels.
