DISCUSS SUBURBAN MATTERS.
TakOma Park Citizens Want Better
street Car Service.

The railroad question was discussed at
the regular monthly meeting of the Ia
koma Park Citizens Association in Ia
koma Hall last night. For some time past
the citizens of this suburb have protested
against what they considerthe inconvenient
service furnished by the street car COM
pany controlling the Takoma and Bright
wood lines. Some time ago the company
ran through cars from the park to the
business section of the city. change
was made to the old order that prevailed
before the consolidation of the various
lines, however, and now the residents of
Takoma and Brightwood are compelled
to change cars at Seventh Street and
Florida Avenue.
President Kinnear. OF the Takoma AS
ISOLATION, and a committee from the
Brightwood Citizens Association called
on the managers of the railroad and en-
dcavored to secure a return to the for
mer schedule. The railroad officers did not
make any promises although Mr.. Kin
near gave the association to understand
that something would be done regarding
the matter in the near future.
President Kinnear also called the at
tention of the association to the need of
a macadam pavement on Carroll, Oak,
and Magnolia Avenues. These streets
were constantly used, he said, and some
thing should be done to secure a firm and
stable roadway. The matter was referred
to the proper committee, and a resolution
will be sent to the District Commission
ers requesting that an item appropriating
a sufficient sum for the purpose be in
cluded in their estimates to Congress.
The attention of the association was
again called to the necessity for the con-
struction of a viaduct over, or a subway
under. the steam railroad tracks on Fifth
Street extended. This matter has been
brought up in the meeting. for some
time past and the members of the ASSOC
citation think that something definite
should be done by the District Commits
sioners to relieve them CT what they be-
lieve to be menace to the welfare of the
community
The question is raised at present be-
cause of the constant passing to and from
school of the children living in the neigh
borhood. Most of the people living in
the park have their homes on the east
side of the railroad tracks and the hand
some schoolhouse, that has Just been
erected by the District, is on the west
side. 1t is necessary, therefore, that the
children cross the tracks at least four
times a day on their way to and from
school. A subway is the most popular
plan among the residents of Taloma. and
the necessary surveys have already been
made, at the instance of the association.
Now, it is proposed to circulate among the
citizens of the park a petition, in the
form of a resolution to the Commission
ers, requesting some definite action. The
matter was referred to the committee
having the subject in charge.
The only other topic of interest discuss
ed, was a proposition to open Umatilla
Street to Sixteenth Street extended. The
opening of this thoroughfare will greatly
benefit the citizens of the park. and the
Commissioners are to be requested to see
what can be done regarding 1t.

cases argued last November and under
consideration by the court. Mr.. Hoyt,
Assistant Attorney General, representing
the Government. objected to a reopening
of the case, and Mr. Gardiner remarked
that the Government should not object
to any new light on the subject, especially
as the Government was supported by his
clients. Chief Justice Fuller thought,
however, that as the case was one against
the Government. its officers should nave
the right of selection in the line OF argu-
ments. He took the papers under advise
ment.
The Supreme Court affirmed the judg
ment of the Supreme Court of Nebraska
against the Western, Union Telegraph
fishing Company, of Lincoln, Neb., that
the rates on news matter to that paper
were unjust and unreasonable, as com
pared with the same service to the Ne
braSka state journal, published in the
same city. Justice Brewer in voicing the
opinion of the court, said that the prin-
ciples of the common law are operative
upon all interstate commercial transac-
tons, except so far as modified by Con-
gressional enactment. AS to the actual
question of unjust discrimination Justice
Brewer said that had been settled by
the State court, and al the Supreme Court
had repeatedly held that questions of fact
when once settled by a State court were
not subject to review here, the judg
iitIl OF lne .NtDrdSka court was afflrmtu-
In the case of George H. Scott. against
the receiver of the First National Bank,
of Sedalia. Mo, in which Scott sought to
avoid liability for assessment when the
bank failed by setting up the plea that
the bank had violated the law requiring
all the amount to be paid in before an
Increase of capital stock was valid. the
Comptroller of the Currency having GER
titled 10 that effect, Justice Harlan said
that wasa matter between the Government
and the bank, and it did not relieve Scott
of any liability.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the at
tachment OF the Territory of Hawaii to
the Ninth Judicial circuit, under author
ity OF recent act of Congress, and grant
ed the application of the Wilder Steam
ship Company, for review by the Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit of
the decision of the Supreme Court of
Hawaii, assessing damages of s55. coo
against the steamship company, on ac-
count of collision between one of its
steamers and another vessel
The Chief Justice also announced the
granting of the application of the officers
and men of the United States steamers
New York, Indiana. and Wilmington for
permission to take further testimony in
the prize case over the Spanish steamer
Panama, which the court below held was
captured by the United States steamer

TO PLAY IN PHILADELPHIA.
Georgetown to Cross Rats With
Connie Mack's Leaguers Today,

The Georgetown University baseball
team will leave for Philadelphia this
morning to play Connie Mack's American
League team this afternoon. Manager
Mack has been anxious to play the
Georgetown boys since he had such Il
strong game with the Yale team last
week. Manager Lynch only decided late
yesterday afternoon to take the college
boys to Philadelphia, as he has two hard
games here thisr week. with Cornell
Wednesday and the Washington league
team Saturday. Captain Walsh figured
that as he had four good pitchers in
Blewett, Mackay, Fay, and Cox, the
game would be an excellent experiment
for them before undertaking the Univer-
sity of Virginia games and the Northern
trip.
Mackay, who put up such strong
game in the box against Yale, will hold
down the slab for Georgetown today
against the leaguers.

FOR OLD AGE

To the old, as to babies, the
even balance of health is more
important than anything else
in the world. The possible
health, in age, is not high and
strong; it is only even.
There is no end, but death,
to the trouble that comes of its
loss. 1t ought to be watched
like baby's.

to secure this even health.

OF Grapc-Nuts Is Charming.

II is a known fact that many people fail
to properly digest the starchy parts of
bread and other food and ordinary pud-
dings are especially hard on the Inter

The pudding described on the package
containing Grape-Nuts is very delicious
and unusually digestible.
Grape-Nuts food is made OF the grape
sugar which results from preparing the
stnrchy parts of the cereals. in the same
way artificially as the body should do by
natural processes. Therefore this food
furnishes food all ready for immediate
assimilation into blood and tissue. The
food is ready prepared, requires no cook
