Piles may develop at any season Of the year and

MEETING AT PETWORTH.
Association Discusses Business and Ap-
points Two Special Committees.

At the second fall meeting of the Pet
worth Citizens Association held recently,
special committees were appointed, one for
the purpose of opposing those persons who
have in view the erection of houses of
cheap order and the other for the purpose
of calling together all the people living
along the BrightwOod avenue car line in a
mass meeting 20 devise some means to in
duce the railroad company to improve the
present service. The section lying north of
Florida avenue i'll the direction of Petworth
and BrightwOod, it was stated, is no longer
what may be termed the suburbs. The
boundary line of the city has long since
been conceded to be not Florida avenue,
but Rock Creek Church road, and it WAS
contended that the Inconvenience of
suburban line are not to be tolerated.
The repeated appeals 20 the company for
improvement it was said have been re-
peatedly ignored, in part, If not entirely,
and the residents deem 1t time to take
steps for improvement.
Mr.. J. NJ. Wood of the East End Suburban
Citizens Association addressed the associa-
ton "a considerable length on the subject OF
the union station bill The proposition, said
Mr.. Wood to give the railroad company so
large a sum of money out of the funds of
the District is strictly against the prin-
cpleS of right and justice, as viewed by the
association of which he is a member, and
also that of the majority of the other asso
Citations of the District
This money IS needed in other direc-
tons for the Improvement and beautifying
of the CITY," he said. There would be less
cause for complaint were the forthcoming
structure of the railroad company to be as
magnificent and imposing an edifice as had
been at first suggested. That the structure
contemplated by the company is to be at
the highest point less than a hundred feet,
and for the most part not over fifty feet in
height, was not, at this time thoroughly
realized by the people of Washington. In
stead of thing of beauty and joy for
ever it is to be low unimposing building
of cumbersome proportions. This the peo-
pie of the capital do not want, and for this
reason, If for nc other, they feel it an i'm
position to contribute toward it's erection"
After few minor points of business were
transacted the motion to adjourn was in
order and the meeting closed.

An Animal Electrician.

An American engineer just returned
from. Europe says ferrets are being
used rs assistants to electrical cagi
neers in subway worl; in London and
other cities.
THE little animal Is employed IN
the stringlng of new electric light
wires" said the engineer. 1.-The wires
run through earthenware tubes. and
the only conceivable way of putting
new wires IN without disturbing the
tubes is by using ferret. A little
animal was brought forth, lively and
lusty and keen for the work ahead
Around its throat was q small metal
collar with an eye fastened into It for
the purpose of tying fast light string
No sooner was the little workman re.
leased than he started off like lightning
through the tube. bringing the end OF
the string out with him at the point OF
exit. OF course, the rest was simple.
The. string was fastened to a heavier
cord, which was successfully pulled
through the tube. and the cord. In turn,
was fastened to the wire which was
to be strung. The most willing and
cheerful engineers saw in all of Eu.
