Address on Life-Saving Service.

The children of the Mount Pleasant Meth
odist Episcopal Church Sunday school and
a number of their parents and friends were
entertained last Wednesday evening at the
church by Maj. Horace l.. Piper, assistant
general superintendent of the United States
life-saving service. who for more than an
hour talked in a descriptive way of the
practical working of his service.
The United States, of all nations. the
speaker explained. has the most extensive
and dangerous seacoasts, and our life-sav-
ing service is acknowledged by all to be
the most efficient and best equipped in the
world He related many interesting Incl
dents illustrative of the courage. skill and
devotion to duty of the brave men who
daily imperil their lives for others. Even
the dumb animals employed in the service
are animated by the high spirit of the men.
he said, and his story of the death of the
faithful old horse Neptune and the super
intendents pathetic report thereon to his
chief was tenderly and impressively told.
vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. George
Fisher at the close of the lecture. The in
terror of the church was draped with large,
new United States flags.

NEW ASSOCIATION PROPOSED,
Sixteenth Street Residents Want New
Name for Thoroughfare.


meeting of residents of 10th street was
held last night for the purpose of organiz-
ing a new society, to be called the Six
teenth Street Improvement Association
This Will be composed of residents and
property owners of the street. Now that
the street is being opened to the park, the
property owners feel that 1t Is one Of
national Importance. and that the time has
cCme to further the object of making 1t
not only one of the most attractive driving
be Culevards of the city, but street of
handsome residences as well.
To this end several schemes are in view:
One is to settle upon the choice of a new
name for the street. delays having resulted
from conflicting views on the subject One
of three names is likely to be chosen. Many
favor the name of Executive avenue"
which was the one given by Major l. Enfant
when he planned the great avenue to be
the court street of the city. Others, such
as for instance Justices Brown and Brewer
and Senator Foraker it is said prefer the
name White House avenue. Secretary Hay
among others. prefers the name the Presi-
dents avenue. or Avenue of the Presidents
/ his name suggests fine avenues abroad
called Avenue de PEmpereur and Avenue
du Roi, etc. vote will be taken later to
ascertain the preferences of the ma iority
OF the new organization.
The association will take it upon itself
to discourage, as far possible the build
Ing OF any apartment houses on the street
Means for the Improvement of 10th street
below Scott Circle will be considered. the
titles of lots generally In that vicinity hav-
Ing now become perfected. The building
OF the bridge across Piney branch, the
securing of certain triangles along the
street for parking, the Improvement and
adCrnmcnt OF vacant lots. and suggestions
for the location of an imposing entrance to
the park are all subjects to be acted upon

Commissioners Without Authority to
Grant Permit for Permanent Tracks,

Commissioners Without Authority to
Grant Permit for Permanent Tracks.
The Commissioners were recently inform
ed by Tyler & Rutherford. real estate
agents, that in negotiating for the sale of
some ground south of Florida avenue near
Delaware avenue, but not adjacent thereto,
the hope had been held out to their client
that the Commiss oners will grant the privi-
lege Of extending Baltimore and Ohio rail-
read sidetracks over this ground until the
completion of the new union station, and
that thereafter it will not be difficult to OBJ
tain permission to have the tracks remain
there permanently.
In view of the fact that such sidetracks
would have to cross one of the city streets,
one block from Delaware avenue. Tyler &
Rutherford believed this position mac
curate and requested Information from the
Commissioners.
Col. Bidde, Engineer Commissioner in
answer to the communication says the
grant permission for such side tracks as
may be necessary TN order to enable the
railroad company to complete promptly the
work Of reconstruction directed by Con-
gress. Col Biddle further says that any
permanent occupation Of the streets by
tracks would have to be directly authorized
by Congress, and it does not seem at all
probable that the cr6ssirig OF the streets
south of Florida avenue would be SO au-
thorized. for the reason that 1t would be at
complete variance with the policy of get
tlns r1d or grade crossings, and having few
or no freight cars south of Florida avenue
1yler q Rutherford will be so informed

corted by Senator Foraker, Justice Wright

Chief Justice Claybaugh and Justice
Pritchard will also subscribe to the oath
of office next Monday morning. The ap-
pointment of Justice Clabaugh as chief
Justice and the original appointment Of
Justice Pritchard were made during the
recess of Congress. In view of the fact
that their appointments have been con-
firmed by the Senate, it is necessary for
them to now subscribe to the oath OF office
under their permanent commissions.

The impression the new associate justice
of the District Supreme Court created
among those who met him today was
most pleasing one. His family includes
three young daughters, the Oldest fifteen
years, and the youngest eleven years OF
age. Justice Wright has already been
rendered, and has accepted. a position as
a member of the faculty of the law de-
partment of Georgetown University. He

ing the present winter.
Judge Wright was for five years judge
of the court of common pleas Of Hamilton

cutting attorney Of that county. He is con-
siGered one of the ablest and most brilliant
men at the Cincinnati bar. He is a personal
friend of Senator Foraker.

THE DOMINICAN REVOLT.
Mail Report From Minister Powell
Gives Cause of Outbreak.

A mail report to the State Department
from United States Minister Powell, dated
San Domingo, October 30. furnishes the
first official explanation of the beginning of
the existing rebellion in the island. 1t is
stated that Gen Morales, governor of
Puerto Plata, became disgruntled because
he was refused cabinet position by Pres
ident Wos y Gil, and putting himself in
communication with Jiminez started the
revolution, turning the government of the
town over to the Jiminez interests.
Minister Powell also reports that Domin-
lean officers entered the French legation IN
San Domingo and forcibly removed two
refugees.
The State Department received cable
gram, dated November IS. from Minister
Powell at San Domingo City saying that
that there was fighting there and that a
French war vessel had landed marines to
nrotect foreigners.
