WOMAN and
SOCIETY,".

You think that you understand her,
This woman you love so well,
But the heights of woman's heart
Are more than a man can tell.
Just when you think you know her
She gives you sudden surprise;
Her lips will tell you one story
While another you read in her eyes.
O. man, you have boosted wisdom,
But God has surely planned
That the woman you love and hold most
dear
You never will understand!

Suit for Removal Of Thomas E. Wagga
man-Mr Dulanv,s Retrrn

James A. Cunningham, through Attorney
irving Williamson, today filed suit in equity
against James B. Nicholson and Thomas
E. Waggaman, the court being asked to
substitute Harry NJ. Benzinger as trustee
In the place of Thomas E. Waggaman, In
conjunction with Irving Williamson, under
deed Of trust dated March IL, 1885,
1t Is contended that inasmuch as Mr.
Waggaman has been recently adjudged a
bankrupt, and as trustee of the estate OF
John Lenthal. deceased. is the owner of the
equity Of redepmtion in the property in
volved. 1T would be improper for him to act
as trustee in sale to be made under the
deed OF trust of March IL, 1885, 1t is added
that Mr.. Waggaman is willing that some
one should be appointed in his stead, for
the reasons stated.
After a stay of few days in Virginia Mr..
II. Rozfer Dulany, who 1t Is generally be-
Heved, will be elected trustee of the Wag-
gaman estate, returned to Washington last
night The statement being made today
That Mr.. Dulany was a very busy man,
a leading lawyer with big Waggaman inter-
ests to look after, remarked:
THAT is the kind Of man we want for the
trusteeship. The fact that he has much
business and Is kept busy attending to it is
the strongest evidence Of his competency
to fill the place WE'LL
claim for $1,000 has been filed with
Referee Andrew Y. Bradley against the

EARLY CONSIDERATION.
House Subcommittee to Take Up Dis
trict Items Tuesday.

Commissioner mcfarland today received
a personal letter from Representative Nc
Cleary. chairman of the District subcommit-
tee on appropriations of the House. stat
ing that the subcommittee will likely be
ready to consider the District appropriation
bill Tuesday or Wednesday of next week
Mr.. Macfarland has replied to Representa-
tive McCleary that the Commissioners will
be ready to appear before the committee
for the conference on the bill at the time
mentioned.
The consideration of the District appro-
priation bill will likely consume all the
time of the Commissioners for a week or
ten days. The amount of the District esti-
mates this year is $12, All ,3J6.65, which is
about $3.50, 600 less than was asked last
year.
One of the important items that will come
up for consideration before the committee
will be the request OF the Commissioners
that the total cost of the new municipal
building be increased from 100000 to
$2.J00O00 1t is believed, however, that
Congress will be disposed to grant this re-
quest when 1t is pointed out that with the
present limit of cost only brick building
can be constructed for the new and perma-
nent home of the District government. AS
soon the Commissioners have assurances
that the additional 10000 will be granted
1t Is believed that the District building
commission will proceed with the selection
Of the stone for the structure and will
award the contract for furnishing the same.
