CITIZENS FILE COMPLAINT.
Elliott Place Declared to Be in De
plorable Condition.


A number Of citizens have lately COM
planned to the Commissioners regarding the
deplorable conditions existing on Elliot
place. which is thoroughfare three-quar-
tiers of mile west of Georgetown, begin
ming on the Conduit road just east of the
distributing reservoir and running south to
street known as Hurst place. There is a
public school building on Hurst place and
number of houses on both Hurst and
Elliot places. 1t appears that the road
way of Elliot place has never been improv-
ed in any way. 1t is a comparatively new
street in a subdivision.
The Commissioners are aware Of the
muddy condition there and of the fact
that it is with the greatest difficulty that
even the lightest of wagons will venture
into the street in wet weather They say,
however. that the street will have to be
the subject Of a special appropriation by
Congress. as the funds for county road
repairs cannot be used for purely con-
struction work. Elliot place is several feet
below grade.

ONE .THRAsHING is ENOUGH.
Moros Offer No Further Opposition to
Americans.

Manila, May 12. Albert Roberts,
his column have returned to Camp
Wears, Mindanao, from the expedition
through the country east of Lake
I4anao The column experienced no
opposition after the fighting at Taraca.
The prisoners captured at Taraca took
the oath Of allegiance to the United
States and were released. Among the
Moros killed in the Taraca forts were
nine dattos and one sultan. The moral
effect of this fight will be far-reaching,
and it is doubtful if there will be any
further hostility in the Lake Lanho
country. Capt .Pershing estimates
the population of Taraca at 10000, and
that of the district at 100000. He
says the population-of the Lake Eanao
district has been underestimated.

A Parable on Tobacco.

Then shall the kingdom of Sa.

bacco seed, which, though exceed.
ing small, being cast INTO the
earth, grew exceedingly and bo.
came great plant and spread
forth it's leaves rank and broad,
80 that the large and vile worms
with thorns on them, even on their
tails, came and formed habitation
thereon, and did crawl all over
and leave their slime and filth
thereupon. And it came to pass
in those days that the sons Of men
did look upon this rank and filthy
plant and were very much enam,
ored Herewith, and did think it
was beautiful to behold; and
plant very much to be desired to
make lads big and manly. And
1t further came to pass that men
claiming to be nice men did put
forth their hands and pulled the
heads off these filthy looking
worms and left their bodies still
sticking on the tobacco leaf thst
the leaf might be made rich by
juice thereof. and having cut these
filth plants and smoked them even
with an exceeding great smoke,
and cured and stripped and press
ed and wrought the leaves there
OF into curious shapes and forms,
and the sons of men gave gold
and silver for it and did chew
thereof. And some that chewed
thereof it made sick at stomach,
and others it made their heads
to ache, and still others to vonit
most filthily; but for all this they
continued to chew thereof; and it
came to pass that those who con-
tinued to chew became exceeding.
ly unmanly and exclaimed: eve
are enslaved and can not cease
from chewingv'
And the mouths of all who
were enslaved became exceeding
ly filthy and foul, insomnch as
they were seized with a violent
splttlng; and they did spit even in
ladies' parlors and on their floors
and carpets, and being wholly
abandoned to the plant, they even
invaded the sacred precincts Of
the house of the Lord, and there
with prayers on their lips and to-
sacco in their mouths, they sang
and prayed and preachad and
chewed and spattered tho filthy
juice on the floor of the Lords
house and under the pews and
against the walls and in the pull
pit, and did drop guilds of tobacco
all over the floor of the house of
the Most High God, and would
return home and say: awe have
worshlpped God to-day"
But some of the saints of tho
Most High we're not pleased with
such conduct, but chswery cared
cared not for these things and
continued to chew and spit whore
they listed.
And in course of time it came
to pass that this rank and filthy
plant wss ground into dust, even
the stalks and stems, and filth
thereof, and was called snuff. And
1t came to pass that ladies s-even
beautiful and fair ladies-did
make unto themselves brushes and
mops and dipped the same into
the filth called snuff and did put
these filthy mops into their mouths
and they would rub and scrub
nightly and spit and sneeze and
