/ bodies in the District Of Columbia.
1t was organized in 1870. cele-
brated sts twenty-seventh anniversary
by a large public gathering in 1897. and
has teen throughout its life a vigorous
body OF capable men. who have attempt
I'd much and accomplished much for the
benefit Of East Washington. From the
beginning the association has included
in its membership the most prominent
citizens OF the Capitol Bill section. and
they have labored industriously and
patiently for the bettermeut of their
section ana OF the entire city. The pro-
sceedings OF the body have been free
from radical tendencies and without
local seIashness and greed.
ii is not now possible to give an out
line OF the organization and work Of the
association in the first years of its his
tory. The records arc lost. and the orig
inal members are nearly all dead or
scattered. The history OF the associa-
ton in the records which exist begins in
the eighties and extends to the present
Gay: but it was then a flourishing insti-
fulton, and had long made its influence
felt before the committees OF Congress
ana at the District building.
After 1855. FOR several years George f.
Dawson was president The association
held monthly meetings and discussed
with much energy matters pertaining to
the extension of streets. grading and
Improvement OF the same and the lay
ing % new sidewalks. Additional school
buildings were sought. and through the
efforts Of the association were built
Many questions were discussed then and
improvements suggested that have only
in recent years been realized The mem
bers of the association. judging from the
reports OF the meetings, were deeply in
earnest. and labored assiduously for
practical ends that could be accom-
plished within the District revenues. Mr.
Dawson resigned June 4. 1891, and John
W. Babson was elected president to
serve the unexpired term. Mr.. Babson
was reelected for six years, and the
association specially prospered under his
administration.
s~t Some of the Older Members.
General Birney was an active member
of the association at this time. A F.

active. Thomas w. Smith was vice pres
ident, benjamin W. Clark was treas
urer. and Tracy L. Jeffords was an
active member OF one or two Of the
committees l. H. Tucker. now presi-
dent Of the Northeast Washington Citi-
zens' Association, was member. Dun

Great interest was taken in the build

gressional Library. The association took
active part in the ceremonies or laying
the cornerstone and dedication of the
building Il strenuously advocated the
opening OF the Institution on Sundays
and evenings until il was accomplished
about a year ago. Recently the assoeia-
ton has urged upon the Commissioners
the Improvement Of the grounds about
the Eastern Market. 1t has supported
Senator Hoar's plan OF adjusting the

States and the District governments. 1t

T w. Smith, President.
Thomas w Smith mas peen president
of the association since october. 1897.
He was elected that year to succeed Mr.
Babson. and has been reelected every
year since. Mr.. Smith has brought his
large business experience t. bear upon
the object of the association. and his
administration has been marked with
great success. Mr.. Smith, as chairman
of the executive committee. has insisted
upon having all the subjects proposed
IN the association carefully digested be-
fore being presented to the Commission
ers or TO the committees in Congress. He
has sought to avoid hasty and ill-con-
sidered action. He has opposed any and

Capitol Hill were "stepfathers," and
very unfeeling ones at that. They did
not have the best interests Of the Dis
trict at heart in cutting the estimates
of the Commissioners down 10 the last
notch and in treating the District as
though it were troublesome child that
had no rights in the parental councils.
The action of the House Committee on
the District of Columbia was designated
as the work of backwoodsmen. who
knew nothing about the needs OF the
city and seemed to care less The par
simony of the committee was scored
vigorously. and a report made TO the as
sociation later in the year says the
criticism poured upon the measure by
the citizens OF the District was in
strumental in modifying some Of the ap-
preparations.
Celebrating Its Birthdays.
Several Of the birthdays of the asso-
citation have been celebrated In an ap-
propriate manner At the october
meeting in 1892 President Babson deiiv-
cred short address. calling attention
to the fact that it was the twenty-sec-
ond birthday of the association. He re-
viewed the work Of the body. and sew
eral Of the members spoke OF the early
days Of the association. A spread was
laid in the association rooms and the
evening was given up largely to having
a good social time.
The twenty-seventh anniversary was
celebrated in a more formal manner. on
June 1, 1897. a committee Of arrange

meeting was held in the Masonic Hall,

A COLLIE'S business is to run fast
