BETTER STREETS
FOR GEORGETOWN.
CITIZENS ASK FOR INFORMATION.
Estimates to BE Used in Presenting
Matter to Committees of Con-
grcss-DeIny In the string
ing of Telephone Wires.

The Georgetown Citizens Association
is solicitous about the improvement Of
the street, in their bailiwick. Through
their special committee on streets they
have asked the Commissioners for state
ment covering the work done in the fis-
cal years ending in 1900 and 1901, and
the estimates for the fiscal year ending
! in 1903. They state that they wish this in
formation to guide their efforts in pre-
senting their claims to the committees OF
| Congress.
With a view to framing reply, the
/ Commissioners have received from c. b.
Hunt. the Computing Engineer, report
/ covering the operation OF his office during
the time specified.
Mr.. Hunt states that the schedule for
the Improvement of the Georgetown sec
ton as set forth in the estimates pre-
seuted to Congress in November, 1900 in
cluded the following streets: Thirtieth
Street from X southwark. Thirty second
Street between P and U, L Street between
Twenty-niuth and Thlrty-nrst, S Street
between Thirty third and Thirty-ffth, U
Street between Thirty-ffth and Thirty
sixth. and T Street between Thirtysixth
and High.
The report states that no additions
were made to this schedule in the esti-
mates submitted this year, since the avail
able appropriation and the amount TO be
realized at the next session of Congress
would not. together, be sufficient to com
plete the list. 1t is stated further that
the work now under contract will pave
Thirty-second Street from 20 T, with
total expenditure OF about $1,000. This
sum. it is said, consists Of the appro-
priation of 50. $50 in the fiscal year 1902 and
an unexpended balance from that Of 1901
Mr.. Hunt then gives a list of the i'm
provements made IN the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1900 at an expenditure Of
ss,575.
Contract Not Complied with.
Dilatory action on the part of the Ches-
apcake and Potomac Telephone Company
has led to the sending of a special report
to the Commissioners by Walter c. Allen,
the Electrical Engineer. 1t appears that
he company was granted permits several
months ago to string twenty-five pairs of
aerial cables along certain pole-lires spec
fled in their application. The under
standing was that a similar number Of
single overhead wires in the same general
territory were to be removed.
Mr.. Allen submits a report Of one OF
his inspectors, showing that the com
many has not complied with the contract
in the respect named. He requests that
the company be officially notified to re-
move the overhead wires, as agreed, under
pain of the work being done by the Dis
trict and charged to The company's de-
posit for the careful performance of the
work.

The mystery began yesterday, when a
unique letter was received, addressed to

investigation revealed the fact that it
contained among other manuscripts an
empty New Willard envelope, with can

After perusing this address, which has
tinge Of over the Rhine" construction,
the recipients Of the letter discovered en-
closed in the original wrapper note ad-
dressed to the Willard Hotel people, and
another envelope. this one sealed, ad-
dressed: "To the gentleman with the high
hat and cane with dogs head" The note
to the associate bonifaoes delivered a SOL
ernn Injunction in this wise:
Dear sir,-plcase give this Letter to 4 Cen
tleman who stops at your capital House he is

Newark n. J. II you can not find him please
return this to Central Restaurant SIP Broad
street, Newark y. J. / would like to give YOU
his name but don't know II.
LOU. Lunch Counter"
After dec!phering this incoherent mis-
sive, the clerks Immediately consulted the
register. Three names were thereupon in
scribed accredited to New Jersey. but so
far as known none Of these individuals
answers the description furnished by Loui
Lunch Counter. Not one Of the three has
been seen with a cane with a dogs head.
although one possesses both high hat
and black hairs"
None of the attaches of the house feel
as yet at liberty to approach the guests
from the Mosquito State and home of
trusts. The whole affair mas the tinge of
practical joke.
Loui Lunch Counter will probably get
his letter back without the Willard peo-
pie solving the first mystery Of the new
hostelry.

Black Diamonds.

Black diamonds are comparatively
rare and correspondingly high priced.
They are three or four times as hard as
the white ones, and fire cannot harm
them, however great the heat, but if a
drop of water should touch them while
heated they will explode and leave
nothing but a little heap Of sand in
their place.
Their beauty is not remarkable, but
on account of their extreme hardness
they are invaluable for dressing sur
faces impervious to the friction Of any
other material. The largest black dia-
monds are set In the end Of a round
short bar Of steel, with q handle Of
wood, and are used in dressing emery
wheels that have lost their %"trueness."
A black diamond is the only substance
that will not be ground away by con
tact with the emery surface.
Black diamonds are also used as
points In scoring pencils which are
used by sealers Of weights and meas
ures to mark glass receptacles. They
are used by dentists for drilling teeth
before filling them with gold. In ap'
pearance they look MI like a shining
little splinter Of iron Or grain Of Goa
than q precious gem, and their CHIEF
mission is a distinctly commercial and
notanornamental ont.

Death of A. r. Henderson.

The accompanying extracts are taken
from the Madelia, (Minn.) Times con
corning the death of A. R. Henderson
which occurred on the 10th Of December.
One of the most distressing accidents
that it vas v our sad duty to relate
was that. which caused the sorrowful
death Of Andrew R. Henderson.
On his return from dinner, Mr.. Hen
derson dropped into the mill office and
chatted a few moments, and then went
over to the engine room to. resume his
duties about the mill. He had noticed
the fan shaft Of the condenser had been
loose and called the attention Of the en-
gineer to the fact, saying he thought a
collar in the water tower must be loose.
Mr.. King turned the water off the tower.
and asked if he hadn't better throw off
the belt. MI. Henderson said he didn't
need to, so they both went into the fan
room of the condenser, a small space
about five feet high. They found the
collar all right and oiled the bearings.
On leaving the chamber, MIR. King PRE-
coded. He had just stepped out Of the
door when he heard Il terrible pounding
behind him and, turning saw the body of
Mr.. Henderson whirling about the shaft
the pounding sound being produced by
his limbs striking the roof. King ran in.
to the engine o and shut down the
engine, but it was too late. The shaft on
which the poor fellow was caught re-
volvcd at the rate of $50 revolutions =
minute and by the time it had ceased to
revolve the life was beaten out, and he
was a mangled, mutilated mass. The
shaft was far enough from the floor and
ceiling so his head didn't strike.
Mr.. Henderson had o put on his
working clothes and had on a frock coat.
The shaft. though perfectly smooth, was
wet and the draught from the fan blew
the coat against it in such a manner that
it caught and in an instant the merciless
thing had done its awful work.
Everyone connected with the milling
company had a deep and abiding esteem
for Mr.. Henderson, and his fate caused
them to turn sick at heart. And the
same might be said of the entire COM
munity.
Mr.. Henderson was happily married
to Miss Nancy Phelps in August, 1899,
and settled at Madelia, when he became
half owner in the Christensen & Hender-
son Roller Mills. He was born in Wa
SEGA county, Mimi, 81 years ago. His
parents are MI. and Mrs. VIM. A. Hen
derson. His father has large property
interests, at Waseca, is a director in a To-
cal bank and has ranch interests in the
vicinity of Dickinson where his son,
James has been located for several years.

'As a matter Of fact" says a coura-
geous writer in the Boston Transcript,
1.-THE common rat is q vastly more intel
ligent creature than the squirrel or the
average cat. I am more than half con-
WINGED that the resources Of the rat as
a household pet would If fairly tested
prove very great. The rat is undoubt-
eddy capable Of a higher and more inti'
mate form Of domestication than that
which he now commonly assigns to
himself. He is at present a resident of
our houses on unwelcome terms, and
he makes himself, quite naturally, as
much an enemy Of the household as
possible.
"Let the rat be welcomed and made a
friend Of the family, as has been done
in a few cases, and he becomes q diff
ferent sort Of fellow altogether. No
longer forced to steal his food, he be-
comes a playmate and q companion.
The sleek and well groomed gray rat is,
barring the ordinary badness Of his
tail, quite as pretty and graceful a
creature as the squirrel, and there Is no
reason why we should not become so
much accustomed to the appearance of
his tail that in time we should regard 1t
as quite ornamental"

Freak Meade Returns.

ENNEl~ItE ttE-@Sf L-rr-ENa
Wednesday morning Frank Meade Re.
turned from Greenville, Mich. where he
was swindled out of a carload Of fine
horses on the 10Th of December, an &C
count of which appeared in the PREss
last week. .
Mr.. Meade states to the PRESS tina,
his loss amounts to over SIIoo, to say
nothing OF the great bother and annoy
ance he was put to.
The two cars of horses were shipped
from Dickinson-one billed in Mr.. F.
Meade's name and the other in Jack
Joyce's name. At Grand Rapids, Mich,
they separated, Joyce taking the car
billed in his name over to Greenville,
where they we're to have a sale Dec. ~.
Mr.. Meade took the other load to St.
Louis, Mich, where they were billed for
a public sale on Dec. Il, it being under
stood that Joyce would be over to help
on sale day. But Joyce evidently enter
ed into. a deal at once whereby the own
er was to be beaten out of his Greenville
car Of horses. He put up at the Phelps
House, T. l. Phelps proprietor, who is
associated with one Moore as horse deal.
crs. Joyce gave a bill of sale Of the hors-
es to Phelps & Moore, and slipped away.
Mr.. Meade talked with Joyce daily
over the phone and was talking with
him , fAw p,inrfac haro.. l.. a.L A..
train for other parts. Mr.. Meade was
not quite satisfied and tried to get Joyce
in the evening about the time he took
his departure, but was informed by the
Phelps House that Joyce had gone to
bed. The next morning Mr.. Meade
found that he had been tricked and he
tried to effect al arrest of Joyce, but the
officers did not seem anxious to act.
After disposing of the horses and leav-
ing the place, Joyce returned and staid
over night at the Phelps House. The
proprietor had been told by Mr.. Meade
the circumstances and yet he harbored
Joyce for a night and made no attempt
to C his arrest.
Some time during the early par. of
Nov. Joyce was handling horses for
Simpson, Jefferies 4 Co. of this place
and stopped at the Phelps House for a
short time, which gave him a slight ac-
%quaintance around there.
Mr.. Meade has offered a reward and
the chances are that Joyce will be ar.
rested yet.
