all of them doing well-thanks to ad-

National Advertiser The mar who
first advertised soap was thought to be
fit for Bedlam. Fortunes have been
made in crackers, in starch, in almost
anything designed to supply human
want or taste. 1t would seem nothing

Advertising cannot be expected to sell
goods when people don't want them,
and it will be naturally most effective
whenit gives publicly to some desir-
able article at just the right time To
be sure, advertising will sell anything
at any time if the price be made low
enough and the advertisement suffici-
emily attractive. Some lines of goods
can be forced, and some cannot, but
even those which cannot be forced
should not be allowed to drop out OF

prrwonrH CITIZENS MEET.
Committee Appointed to Wait Upon
the Commissioners. -,

the Commissioners.
An enthusiastic meeting marked the open
ing of the fall season Of the Petworth Cit
izens Association last night at Petworth
Hall. The president. Mr.. T. v. Powderly
took the chair promptly at o'clock. Al
though the weather was inclement, the hall
was well filled and those present seemed to
be thoroughly in earnest in their inten-
tons to impress the Commissioners with
the needs Of this little subdivision.
Among other things discussed. the ques-
ton Of matchmaking several of the most
important thoroughfares was debated at
length Resolutions of protest were passed
and a committee appointed to lay before
the Commissioners the necessity of imme-
diate attention to 9Th street. which runs
the entire lenght Of the section. The COM
mittee consisted of the following members
Messrs Powderly. Guide. Oyster, Davis,
Hetmuller and Particle. 1t is the inten-
ton of this committee to present them
selves in body before the District Com
misSionerS and to invite the attention OF
these gentlemen to the unfinished work on
Brightwood avenue. the necessity of ma
cadamizing Sth street. Savannah street and
Philadelphia street. and especially to the
impossible condition of Brightwood avenue
between Stueben street and Rock Greek
Church road
When Petworth was laid out as sub
division. it is stated that the streets and
avenues were all donated. and the District
was not taxed one cent for these thorough
fares. Petworth has not seemed to benefit
by this action to any very marked degree.
and for this reason the committee feel all
the more justified in making their claims,
Petworth. 1t is claimed. is the home of
some of the most prominent business men
of Washington and it's residents feel justi-
fed in asking the same consideration at the
hands of the Commissioners as other grow
ing suburbs of Washington that are a credit
to it,

Odd Fellows Busy.

The local members of the /. O. o. F..
are busy making preparations for the en-
tertainment of large numbers of visitors
during the meeting of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge in Baltimore, September u to 26.
Committees have been organized to have
charge of different branches or the work,
highly appreciated by the visiting brethren
The committee will keep open house at
Odd Fellows Hall, on 7th street during
the entire week. The large auditorium will
be tastefully decorated and the banquet
room appropriately fitted up for the occa-
sion. Committees will be in attendance to
provide for the wants of the guests, and
the Hall will be made a general rendez-
vous for the visitors during the entire week.
Many of the delegations from a distance
are coming direct to Washington and stop
for two or three days before going to Bal
timore. Others will come over from Balti-
more after the big parade Wednesday.
From information at hand 1t seems almost
certain that a large majority of the WIS.,
itors from a distance will spend at least
half of the time In Washington. Already
a delegation of more than 800 from Massa-
chusetts and over 100 from New Hamp-
shire have made arrangements for quar-
tiers in Washington, arriving here on Sat
urday and Sunday before the convention
and remaining until the following Wednes-
day. Other large delegations from the
west and south are to do the same thing.
On Friday of the week the local committees
will hold formal reception and ball for
their guests

IN DEAD MANS HOLLOW.
Jas. Golden Claims He Was Assaulted
BY Two Soldiers.

James H. Golden who lives at Arlington,
Va. made a complaint at Fort Myer, last
Monday. that he was assaulted last Satur-
day night. shortly after midnight on the
road from Rosslyn to Arlington by two SOL
diers from the fort. He says that he miss
ed the IL o'clock trolley from Rosslyn,
and. being a good walker. started to make
his way home on foot. At a turn in the
road. known as Dead Mans Hollow where
1t is very dark. he says he was knocked
down and beaten by two soldiers. Fifteen
dollars in bills and some silver were taken
from him. as we'll as his suit of clothes and
straw hat. He was very badly bruised, as
his appearance later testified. He says he
was dragged into a field and left for dead,
and that 1t was some time before he re-
gained consciousness and was able to drag
himself home.
The two soldiers named by Golden are
Privates Raymond Proctor and George
Blake. both Of Troop F. I'd Cavalry. The
adjutant at Fort Myer stated yesterday
that the matter had been investigated and
that Private Proctor had proved alibi.
Proctor said that he had been in Rosslyn in
company with Golden and Blake, whom he
had left because he thought that they did
not want him. He returned to the fort and
has proved by witnesses that he was in
the barracks at the time of the assault.
The adtutant stated that Private George
Blake had not been heard of since Satur-
Jay. anu tldt. III view OIL the story tOlQ Dy
the man Golden. 1t seems probable that
Blake has deserted. This. however. has not
been officially determined 1t seems proba-
BILE that he did attack Golden as the latter
stated. Blake is known to have left part
of his outer clothing behind him with Col
den. pair of soldiers trousers were worn
by Golden when he appeared after the as
sault. It is thought by the military au-
thorities at Fort Myer that Blake donned
Golden's civilian suit of cloths and straw
hat. in order that he might make his escape
with less chance of detection. The clothes.
Golden says. were in pretty good condition
and Of an even gray color. and the hat was
q new straw purchased at hat store in
this city.
r Golden claims that Blake is in New York
city at the present time. and that he knows
his address there. but the Fort Myer au-
thorities know nothing of this fact. The
adjutant stated yesterday that If Golden
was aware of the mans whereabouts, he
should swear out warrant for his arrest
with the civil authorities: for the case, he
believes. Is a civil one.
