Stable Blocked.

B. w. Clark of $50 North Carolina avenue
southeast has written to the Commission
ers regarding the closing of alley in the
square bounded by North Carolina avenue,
East Capitol 9th and 10th streets. The
writer stated the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company had dug a trench in
the alley in question for putting wires
foreground. He says he found the alley
closed and the way to his stable was cut off.
The writer will be informed that the
foreman of the telephone company who
was in charge of the work was under the
impression that all parties who could be
affected by the excavation had been noti-
fled. inadvertently Mr.. Clark was omitted.
Men were left at the mouth of the alley to
assist all parties who desired to enter with
vehicles. AS there are but two stables in
the alley it was believed that after having
made satisfactory arrangement for two
parties there was no one else to provide for
1t is regretted by the officials that Mr.
Clark was Inconvenience by this error.
The company has been requested to take
every precaution in the future to avoid
repetition of such occurrence. It Is the
first complaint of this kind that has
reached the engineer department. notwith-
standing that the company has laid several
miles of conduit in the last eight months
The attention of the telephone company
has been called to this matter through one
of its officials, who will communicate with
Mr.. Clark

Old-Fashioned Fourth of July.

20 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In view of existing preparations at this
time by a number of prominent citizens
1t may be well to note that the happy effort
of Commissioner Macfarland to inject
little old-time patriotism into the anniver-
sary of American Independence on the 4th
Of July appears to be we'll received in the
District Of Columbia, and 1t is hoped 1T Will
be crowned with success which will slim
ulate the observance of the event in the
future as 1t was in the past.
1t will be remembered by many that il
the -be1lum days of Washington we
had no National Guard, no metropolitan
police no paid fire department. and our
mails were distributed by few but select
penny posts. But we had our mayor and a
board of aldermen and a board of common
council, and every citizen who was able to
pay the poll tax was allowed a voice in the
administration of the local affairs Of the
city, and to this extent at least became a
patriot and did not forget to proclaim his
independence on the 4th of July. Besides
we had our citizen soldiers, the Washing
ton Light Infantry. Captain James Y.
Davis; the National Guards, Captain James
A Tate; the National Rifles. Captain
Schafer; the German Yeagers. Captain
Schwartzman and the Montgomery Guards,
Captain P. Barton Key. all looked upon as
soldiers par excellence We had also the
Columbia, the Union, the Franklin. the An
acostia, the Perseverance and the Northern
Liberty fire companies, many members of
which being included in our best citizen
ship. Our penny posts were highly es-
teemed citizens, who delivered our letters
at cents apiece,. andpour conservators of
the peace consisted of two or three con-
stables and a hog catcher and a night
watch of dozen or more called the Auxil-
larry Guard 81 5H
In those days the man and brother felt
the responsibility of citizenship which is
now denied him alnderi the new conditions.
and instead of Sunday school picnfcs on
the 4th of July at Arlington, Pierce's mill
and Gales woods, parades and target
shooting of the soldier companies, excur-
sons of fire companies, Free Masons, Odd
Fellows and Red Men, with the ringing of
the church bells and fire bells in the morn
ing. at noon and at the setting of the sun,
and fireworks on the mall in the evening
we have. with aqcity. six times larger. per-
mitted our patriotism to be dwarfed until
little is left of 1t except the noise created
by shooting ffrecrackers, &C., and the pos
sible reading here and there of the Declara-
ton of Independence.
Let us hope Mr.. Macfarland's inspiration
will have a continuing effect, and that In
the future the people of this community
forgetting their anomalous condition as
citizens without say. will annually
awaken to the patriotic duty of properly
celebrating the anniversary of the birth OF
the worlds greatest republic.

Member of Oldest Inhabitants Association.

NOT TAUGHT TO BE "LADYLIKE."
Psychologist Tells Why Men Are Su-
perior to Women in MANY Things.

Men are more emotional than women, as
we'll as being superior in physical strength
and In inyentiveness. Miss Helen Bradford
Thompson, doctor Of philosophy, has proved,
she says. after two years of experimenting
with twenty-five young men and twenty
five young women students.
Miss Thompson is one of the leading
psychologists of the country Her expert
me ts were made in the psychological lab
oratory at the University of Chicago.
Seven different sets of tests were applied
to each of the fifty Subjects and Miss
Thompson spent about one thousand hours
in making them.
The general results of her tests. Miss
Thompso n declares, show that the superior
ingenuity and superior strength of men
are not due to sexual difference of mind"
but to the influences of society as now
organized, especially in the fact that the
boy is taught TO be Independent in thought
and action, is encouraged in all kinds of
outdoor exercises. while the girl Is taught
obedience. dependence and difference and
TO shun all actions that are not lady
like"

to send party of twenty persons to St.

$50. This price provides for ali rail
road fare, meals and berth in private car
for entne time. This trip is planned for
the dedication of the Worlds Fair, which
is to take place April 28th to May 3D..
This company fits tie car up as a place
in which to live and it is taken to ST..
Louis where it is side tracked in a con-
venient place so that the occupants may
return to it for meals and to sleep and it
is in every way more convenient than

ed IN making the trip if they apply to
the Review office their names will be
entered. It will be necessary to have a

Attention is called to the ad of Nagel,
,Boock & Pullman, which appears in
tRis issue of the Review: and of the fact
tRet they are the pioneers in the cement
sidewalk business in this city and in fact
in thin part Of the state, Last year they
put down an immense amount of cement
walk and it is known that the past win
ter has been the worst possible, because
of the freezing aud thawing, for that
kind of work and there has been abso-
lutely no break in the work they did.
This is the best possible recommendation
for their work and the further fact that
they guarantee all their work should give
the people the utmost confidence in
them. There will no doubt be consider
able work of this kind done in the city
the coming year and people should bear
them in mind when looking for some
one to lay the walk. A poor cement
walk is one of the worst possible walks
man can get, besides it costs as much
as good one. Get the best.

There is a rumor current that n. G.

postmaster at Sleepy Eye. Should this
happen it will IN measure explain why
he made so sudden turn in the direction
of congressman McClcary, when he had
previously been such a hearty supporter
OF Somervl]le and will also explain why
he used so much of the valuable space
in his recent issues for double column

topic. He says that he met with little
encouragement in this city, and is aEaid
that it will he sometime before teh-
perance lecture will meet with any great
success here. The man is an intelligent,
we'll educated speaker and delivers an
interesting discourse. I
II Even the horses know good thing
when they see it. Last week team be-
longing to Peter Giefer saw the display
of fine shoes IN the window of C. A.
Zelle's shoe store and in their haste to
get to them fell over the curbing and
slid across the pavement, breaking them
selves lose from the buggy and landing
10 such position that it required the
united strength of several men to get
them on their feet again, when it was
found that they were not injured. Now
if the men and women of this city had
the taste in selecting a shoe store that
the team had Mr.. Zelle would have more
than he could do to supply his trade.
In speaking of the innovation that
Sleepy Eve has started in the way of a
city weigh master, Mr.. Bingham calls at
tention to the fact that 1t will be a
nuisance in many ways. For instance in
the matter of coal, where man buys a
ton and takes it out in four loads and
has to pay ten cents for weighing each
load, he is is paying forty cents ton
more for his coal than he would If the
dealer weighed it himself. In other
words the Sleepy Eye plan goes on the
assumption that people are all crooked
and cannot be trusted. 1t is also true
that all things that are bought at the
grocery stores are sold by weight and if
the CITY Is going to provide weigh
master for the fuel and grain, why no
provide public weighing establishment
for this. class of goods? In theory the
thing is all right but 1t will hardly work
