The point was brought out that the as
ISOLATION had asked two years ago that the
fence be erected, but the excuse was made
that the new sewer would be completed in
a short time, and the matter would thus
be remedied.
The association renewed its request for
the opening of sewer along 10Th street
northeast from Benning road south to con-
meet with the new trunk sewer now being
constructed, and asked that an invert be
constructed in the trunk sewer at 10Th and
c streets to accommodate the smaller sewer
when built.
1t was decided as being desirable that the
association cooperate with the Commits
sioners in making a success of the Fourth
of July celebration, and on motion of Mr.
Edward Refill the entire membership was
constituted committee of the whole to
solicit contributions for that object 1t
was decided to make Mr. Chas. R. Tai
bert's store headquarters for contributions
and all were asked to report not later than
June Is.
On motion of Mr.. Amos F. Souder the
Commissioners will be asked to abate the
nuisance created by a filthy pond about
sixty yards wide on the brick yard prop
erty near 18th and H streets. The stencil
arising from the pond was said to be some
thing fearful"
1t was unanimously decided not to boast
of appropriations made by the last Con-
gress or by any Congress, but to press for
ward after other appropriations
The usual summer vacation was then Or
dered, and the association adjourned to
meet the first Thursday in September

walnut, the magnolia, etc. These trees
need the most careful attention. so as to
preserve proper symmetry and present the
most captivating appearance. Dead and
broken branches need to be removed at
once, thus preventing the struggling and
unsightly views too often afforded to the
passerby. To accomplish this wise over
sight may require quite an increase of the
present force, but let that object be held
constantly in view. The force ought to be
large enough and so judcousy distributed
to reach every part of the city con-
stantly.
Another step then needs to be taken, viz.
to get rid of the numberless sparrows that
now infest the city. and take steps to re-
store the legitimate native birds that
would make our parks vocal with the rich
est and sweetest melody. All objections by
societies against this rational movement
should and would have no weight in view
of the superior advantages to be gained
with proper attention to these matters and
others properly connected with them.
Washington would finally become a great
pleasure resort to the inhabitants of the
northern states in the winter and summer
resort for the southern states in summer.
With these advantages at hand little neces-
sity for going to the seaside resorts could
exist This is one fthe numerous steps to
be taken to realize the full import of the

IMPROVEMENTS LISTED.
East End Suburban Citizens Make Up
q Schedule.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
East End Suburban Citizens Association
held last evening at Northeast Temple.
Vice President Chas. r. Talbert occupied
the chair in the absence of the president
Representative Geo. A. Pearre came in for
a good. deal of attention on account Of tho
stand he took Wednesday evening at the
meeting of the Brightwood Citizens AS
ISOLATION and a series of resolutions were
passed commencing him for his outspoken
regard for District interests, and especially
for the declaration that he represents the
people of the District as much he does
the people of Maryland.
The report of the president, giving an ac-
count of the action of the executive COM
mittee, was adopted without change. 1t
recommended that appropriations be asked
for as follows: To continue the improve
ment of Bladensburg road eastwardly, the
sum of 5000; to complete the permanent
Improvement of said road as far Mount
Olivet road, the sum of $4,000, 1t being the
belief of the committee that the work can
be accomplished for that sum.
For the opening and grading of M street
from Bladensburg road to 2Sth street the
sum of $14,50O, the amount being named by
the Commissioners as necessary for ac-
curing the land and in grading and regu-
lating the street. For the opening and
grading of R street from Bladensburg road
eastWardly to 2Sth street, and of 2Sth street
from r street south to NJ street, the sum
of S17,00
1t was also decided to ask that the open
drain at the mouth of the trunk sewer near
18th and f streets northeast be fenced in,
at least as far eastwardly as Goth street,
as the trench Is very dangerous and the
District is threatened with damage suit

Proper Care of Shade Trees.
Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Washington is becoming more and more
the pride not only of it's apprecative citi-
zens but of visitors from all parts of the
nation. 1t Is regarded beautiful city and
very justly, too. With its numerous parks,
it's concerted and well-shaded streets it's
fine residences and spacious public build
ings, its mild average climate, free from
the terrific storms that devastate other
portions of the land; with its extensive
museums, libraries, observatories botanical
and geological gardens, and other objects
of equal Importance, all easily reached by
systems of communication not surpassed
and possibly not equaled on the continent
it is within itself great university, whose
superior opportunities FOR culture and
development have never been ade-
quately appreciated. Add to all these the
advantages afforded by it's schools, its col
leges and various universities, to say moth
ing of the great annual convocations, DO
litical, social scientific and religious and
it becomes typical city for residence and
all forms of intellectual and professional
growth and enjoyment far SURPRISING that
of Babylon. the glory of kingdoms, the
beauty Of the Chaldees excellency"
Conceding all these qualifications and ad-
vantages, I may be permitted to make
suggestion or two to those having the phys
ical betterment Of the city under their con-
troll. The shade trees In streets and parks
need special consideration. They attract
attention as perhaps no other objects do
during the sightseeing season. For the
streets perhaps the best shade is secured,
In the order of mention. from the black

sycamore. For park purposes the variety
can be greatly Increased so as to include
the horse chestnut, the beech, the black

these men were in earnest about building

Judgment is to be deplored. Why should

will under the permanent plan become
registered voters? Well, their last excuse
is that the democratic registration boards
only registered negro democrats and that
we were excluded because we were demo-
Gratis. They are now CHASING colored men
as democrats whom they have elected time
and again as delegates to the republican
national convention.Is' Two of the delegates

PAIL OF DENSE SMOKE

Heavy Cloud.
FROM FOREST FIRES

Other Cities Report Similar Conditions
The Effects on the
Ocean Coasts.

A pail of dense smoke has settled over
the north and middle Atlantic states and
has obScured city, town and village in a
somber veil Of gray that is impenetrable.
An aeronaut, if lowering above the ma
tional capital today, would see nothing
below him but mass of smoke and fog,
the combined product of the forest fires in
New England, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, and the Atlantic ocean-the
forest fires contributing the smoke and the
ocean the fog. The combination has proved
anything but pleasing to the persons upon
whom it has been inflicted, few of whom
were able to explain just how 1t came
about and why it was here.
The fact that the forest fires are so far
removed from the District appeared to
make no difference in the density OF the
smoke and haze. The streets were filled
with it. The fog penetrated the very WIN.
dows and doors of the houses and brought
with it the smell of burnt wood and the
irritating smoke. In the country about the
city the fields are almost obscured aud
the river is a blank gray bank at DIS
lance of twenty-five yards.
The haze first appeared here yeSterda"
about noon, when a misty veil appeared
over the sun and the air looked CLOUDY
without really being so. Toward evening
the atmosphere seemed to clear up, how
ever and it was thought fog had ap-
reared and blown away. But during the
night an east wind blew the moist air from
the ocean. which met a cold blast and
promptly condensed into fog. The Wlnd
yeered to the northeast and thick smoke
cloud came with it.
All night long the wind blew and the
smoke came, and when the good people OF
the District awoke this morning they
found their homes enveloped in mist ana
their neighbors houses almost entirely OBJ
scured from view.

Negroes Fight on Train.

A desperate fight took place on Cotton Belt passenger train near Stamps. In the negro coach was negro who claimed to be a private detective, commissioned to carry pistol. He got into an argument with another negro and pulled his gun. The other negro pulled a ra- zor and slashed the alleged detect ives face, then grabbed his gun, which was discharged in the scuf- file. At this juncture Conductor Thompson was attracted by the af- fair. As he attempted to enter the car he saw that all the occupants of it were held at bay by the second negro, who was brandishing the re- volver and razor. One negress was screaming that she was shot. Thompson immediately stopped the train and the negro with the weap- ons jumped off and took up a po- sition behind wood pile. As it was impossible to arrest him without the danger of loss of life, he was not pursued The alleged negro detective was badly wounded.

Seeks Aid of Farmers and Manufacturers.


 Commissioner of Mines, Manu- factures and Agriculture H. T. Bradford is anxious to awaken greater interest in the matter of ad- vertising to the world the many and diverse products, both mineral and agricultural, of this state, and incl dentally to greatly enlarge the ex- hibit which is now at the statehouse and Is most creditable.
 With this end in view, and also that of obtaining complete and ac- curate statistics of the industries of the state, he has addressed the fol- lowing letter to various men of in fiuence and prominence throughout the state:
 Little Rock, June IS, 1903.
 ''Dear Sir-I am very anxious tr build up this department and in or der for me to do so I will have to ask the people throughout the state to cooperate with me, and I write to ask if you will furnish me with a list of the mines and manufactur- ing plants in your county, together with the names of the owners or op- orators, their output and amount invested, etc. Also send me a few names of the progressive farmers in different sections of the county, and list of your real estate men.
 "If you are not able to furnish this information please hand this to some one who will give it attention. l want every county in the state to take a space in this department and send exhibits to show every product of the farm and orchard, mine and manufacturing plant, together with little booklet giving a general de- scription of the county, so that I can show visitors who come here just what each county has.
 "While this is a general letter, I hope you will do me the kindness to let me hear from you as early as possible, and l assure you that any assistance you show me will be ap- preciated."
