The Suburban Citizen takes pleasure
in laying before It's readers this week
a sketch OF the work accomplished by
the Citizens Northwest Association Of
the District of Columbia While the
account is necessarily brief, it will be
found sufficiently comprehensive to con-
vey fair idea of the achievements pos
sible under a systematic union OF intel
ligent effort upon the part OF men who
have at heart the interests OF the COM
munity in which they live.
The territory chosen by the North
west Association as its field OF opera
tions is one OF the most interesting Of
the several suburban sections OF the Dis
trict. Here the hand OF Nature, deity
touching her mysterious loom, wrought
one Of her prettiest pictures, and here
the skillful hand OF man has framed and
fashioned many spacious mansions rich
in artistic symmetry and noted as the
homes OF men and women OF dignihed
yet modest refinement.
The story would not be complete
were we to fail to refer to the possibili-
ties which the future presents, and hence
we point out some OF the things which
the association will endeavor to add to
the attractive features OF the northwest
section during the coming year. For
the same reason we present short arti-
cles concerning a number OF the leading
men whose names appear upon its roll
Of members
We venture to say that no man will
read the narrative without finding in it
something which will interest him
something which, perhaps, in the turn
which time and chance often give to
events, will make him glad that he had
the opportunity OF doing so. To our
patrons in towns and cities remote
from the Capital whose attention has
been directed toward Washington as
a field for Investment, we beg to convey
the assurance that the gentlemen whose
names are mentioned below are in ev-
cry way worthy OF their confidence,
Inquiries addressed to any OF them con-
cerning the city and It's numerous pro-
gressive suburban localities will bring
prompt and reliable responses.
In the meantime any information
which the Suburban Citizen can give
to its readers abroad will be immediate
ly and cheerfully furnished without
other cost to the inquirer than the in

Whether il be true or not that the

Relieves in Greater Washington.

There IS no more enthusiastic advO-
cate of every legitimate scheme for the
advancement OF the various interests
of the city of Washington than Mr..
Louis p. Shoemaker, OF o2o street
This well-known gentleman believes in
greater Washington-in a great ma
tional municipality which, in all that
appertains to patriotic pride in the
achievements OF a liberty loving people,
shall set the pace for the proudest cap
itals OF the world. Mr.. Shoemaker's
views with respect to the growth OF
the city in beauty and importance are
supported by many able arguments, and
on more than one occasion have they
been eloquently emphasized in the pres
ence OF members OF the Senate and
House OF Representatives charged with
the consideration OF District interests.
In the promotion OF plans dependent
upon Congressional aid for the improve
ment OF the reservation, both within
and beyond the limits OF the city, he
has been remarkably successful and
It is not often that any new undertaking
is inaugurated without the assistance
OF his ready tongue and sound judg-
ment. Mr. Shoemaker is a leading
member OF the Citizens Northwest AS
sociation and, OF course, is one of its
most effective workers. He is chair
man OF the Executive Committee and
devotes much of his time to the duties
of that Office His reports to the organ
zation are among the most thoughtful
and helpful papers brought to its atten-
ton and have played most important
part in stimulating the growth of the
association. On the floor he is always
listened to with eager interest and it
seldom happens that the opinions and
suggestions he puts forth do not elicit
unanimous approval Outside of the
associations hall he has labored hand
in hand with President Lancaster in the
utilization OF every opportunity to in
crease the attractions OF the north
west section and make it the ideal res
idence suburb of the city, and his efforts
have always been directed in a manner
that showed that they were backed by
a solid fund OF energy and earnestness.
Mr.. Shoemaker lives in a handsome
house on Brightwood avenue. He is
an attorney OF high standing and at his
Office on + street one may meet the
most prominent people in the city. In
his profession he is deservedly popular
and in the private and social walks of
life there is no man in Washington with
more enviable record. He is now
serving his second term OF office as
president OF the Brightwood Citizens

CALEBPOWERS CONVICTED
Sentenced Second Time to Life
Imprisonment.

Georgetown, Ky, Oct. IS, Ex-Sec-
rotary of State Caleb Powers has
been again convicted as accessory be-
fore the fact to the murder of Gov
ernor VIM. E. Goebel in January,
1900, and the second time sentenced
to imprisonment for life.
The second trial began October S
and has continued with three sessions
daily. The case went to the jury
at o'clock Saturday afternoon and
verdict of guilty soon followed.
Powers sat pale and motionless
when the verdict was announced by
the foreman, b. S. Calvert, his old
schoolmate. Opposite Powers, on the
other side of the court room with
the attorneys, sat Arthur Goebel,
brother of the late senator and gov
ernor, with his eyes fixed on the pris-
oner. The attorneys for Powers
shook his hand, expressing aloud
their belief in his innocence. Women
crowded around Powers, embracing
and kissing him, and tears We're shed.
Abe defense filed motion for a new
trial, but it was oyerruled and the
case will be appealed. The sentence
was read and judgment suspended
pending the decision of the higher
tribunal. Powers was taken to
Frankfort and committed to bail
without trial

early hour Saturday in almost the

He Maintains His Stoical Demeanor

Auburn, N. y, Oct. 29.--Leon Cool

has paid the penalty in the electric
chair at the penitentiary, and his
lifeless body now awaits the DISPOSE
tion the warden has concluded to
make of it.
The execution took place this morn
ing, in the presence of the required
number OF witnesses, who were all
closely examined when they entered
by the guards stationed at the prin-
cipal gate of the prison. The grew
some sight was not relished by the
men who had been summoned to-
make affidavit that the order of the
court at Buffalo had been duly car.
ried out.
The prisoner was bound into the
electric chair and with as little DELAY
as possible the current was turned
on.
The muscles of its occupant were
drawn tight when the heavy current
passed through the body. The arms
seemed to stitfen and to grasp the
arms of the chair. The legs straight
ened and the trunk was rigid. Then,
after the current had been kept on
for sufficient time, the bands were
looSened and the assassin of the pres
ident was declared dead.
Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 29.--At s o'clock
last night the brother and brother
in-law of Assassin Czolgosz arrived
and Superintendent Collins took them
down to the condemned mans CELL.
There was no demonstration when
they met. Czolgosz merely stepped
to the front of his steel cage and
said, "Hello."
The brother ventured the remark,
III wish you would tell us, Leon, who
got you into this scrape?"
The assassin answered in slow,
hesitating manner:
NO one. Nobody had anything to
do with it but me-"
That is not how you were brought
up" said the brother, land you ought
to tell us everything now.''

answered in a surly manner.

here again; | don't want them"
The brother-in-law interjected
here:
That's right. hem"
The brother looked rather disturb
ed sv the answer. Then stepping
up close to the bars the condemned
man said:
"And don't you have any praying
over me when I'm dead. don't want
it; | don't want any of their damned
religion
There was painful pause of few
minutes and then the relatives re-
sumed casual conversation with him,
to which he replied in monosyllables
until the brother-n-law suggested,
much to the surprise of superintend-
ent Collins. that he and the Brother
be permitted 10 witness the esAecu-
rlon. Before superintendent Collins
could reply, Leon Czolgosz saidA y
