WILL PROBABLY PURCHASE.
PROSPECTIVE HOME FOR THE
WHEEL CLUB.
Members Favor the Purchase OF
Property on X Street, Instead
of Leasing.

There was a very large meeting Oh
the Capital City Wheelmen last night,
President Woodson in the chair, at
which twenty-three propositions for
membership were received.
The rapid riding men Of the club were
greatly elated over Captain Clay's team
selected at the recent 'try-out' for the
road relay race of the Both. 1t is be-
lieved te be the fastest and steadiest
team ever chosen, and the Captain was
in consequence, the object of much con-
graduation.
Next Monday night the proposition
to aid the Native Sons by turning out
in their parade on Dewey Day will be
acted on. The probability is that a
fine delegation will volunteer and the
Native Sons have promised it the right
Of the line Captain Clay will this
week receive names of volunteers.
After the meeting a free conference
was held with ]. c. Brusie in the chair,
at which nearly all present at the Off
cial meeting remained.
The subject discussed was the rec
ommendation of the Executive Commit
tee to purchase a property on K street,
40x160, with a house thereon, the club
value and pay for it by rental and an
than S35 a month, the payments to be
computed off monthly and the interest
to be q per cent. per annum.
AS one member expressed it, it is get
ting the value with security and acquir-
ing $500 values, and a growing title
interest therein equal to what is paid
in, = H. IN,
the uses of the club for the first year
or two, or as long as it chooses, was
estimated closely at $500. The cash
payment down is to- be $3.50.
The second proposition was to rent
property in another locality ON street,
at $50 a month, the club to expend
$500 in fitting it up and repay itself by
retaining $40 a month rental.
Both propositions were fully discussed
and a vote expressing the sentiment Of
the meeting was almost unanimous in
| recommending the first offer.
The matter excited the liveliest inter-
est and the most frank debate imagin-
able, but all in the manifest spirit. The
| chief objection was that of debt, but
| it was shown that no debt is really in
Cured, as the property is full security,
while it gives opportunity to acquire
and own instead Of always paying rent.
| The matter will come up for final de-
cision next Monday night, with every
probability of adoption, as it is advised
| by the best financiers and practiced in
restors, and is believed to give at once
a cash value to certificates of member
ship, without the personal liability of
any member being involved, no secur-
ity outside the property being asked.

MAN AND HIS INDUSTRIES.
UNIVERSITY ExTENSIONISTS'
FIRST LESSON.
An Interesting Meeting at tae
Rooms of the Chamber OF

There was an enthusiastic meeting VI
the University Extension CLASS al .ne
Chamber of Commerce rooms las. iiasn'
President Frank Miller, OF the Nationoi
Bank of d. o. Mills & Co., was ciioSen
to act as monitor, and every nleiliDef
OF the class took part IN the olscus9ioii
that followed
I.ast nights lesson covered the pre-
1iminary groundwork OF the course
largely historical The marked feature
of the lesson was it's clear denhhtloiis VI
fundamentals. The word society was
held (by the author, Professor ltichalo
II. Ely,) to belong to SOCIOLOGY hiofe
properly than to economies. Men nv
ing together connected by Ties are
called society, and the marked feature
of modern society was shown 10 pe us
consolidation of interests and responsl
bilities-solidarity
The evolution of Industrial society
was traced from the primitive era "hen
fishing and hunting, pastoral NE anu
agriculture reigned, down to the pres
ent era of countless manufactures,
where one man manufactures, say the
hundredth part of a locomotive. oucn
a man was shown to be DEPENDENT not
only on all others who are engaged IN
making any part of the machlne, put
upon all who are producing the things
he requires.
An interesting feature OF the evening
was a clear analysis of the elements en-
tering into the industrial revolution
that has changed the face of nature ana
the industries of the race 1T was
strikingly shown how modern lnVen-
tions have caused unparalleled STRIDES
in the past hundred years. II was
shown that causes Of economic dls-
turbances are often found in. the fallure
of society to adapt itself to economic
changes. During the era of readJust-
ment there must be great suffering ana
lack of employment
Finally. man himself was shown TO
be great factor in economic changes.
The fatalism of the Turk was shown
to be a. retarding factor in economic
growth, whereas the religion OF the
Jew and Christian were found to stimu-
late men to endeavor. Trusts and the
whole problem of the distribution of
wealth were touched upon briefly, as
bearing in a general way on the prob
lens of industrial evolution and revolu-
ton
A marked feature of the evening was
the freedom of discussion, which was all
conducted calmly, and under the logical
Limitations of the lesson in question.
The views and experiences of indi-
yidual members were used as side
lights, and the commingling of expert
ences proved an interesting feature.
The class will meet again on Mon
day night, at the Chamber of Com
nerce rooms. Ladies and the public
are invited to attend as guests and to
become members of the class.

FRANK BASSFORD.
His Relatives Fear He is Not Alive

A dispatch from Suisun states that
the family of Frank Bassford of Vaca-

them against the danger Of planning
fruit trees imported from Eastern
nurseries, in which he says:
