In Jail that she was at the school. Her
conduct In court the day she was tried for
an assault on Miss Frances NJ Briscoe. one
of the teachers, convinced Judge kimball
that she was disturbing element, and that
she was calculated to do more harm to the
inmates of the institution than dozen
ordinary girls. 1t was because of her con-
duct in court that the judge decided that
the Jail was the proper place for her and
gave her a sentence of six months.
Miss Lizzie Harding, a teacher at the re-
form school, was a witness in the case.
1t was shown that the refractory inmate
continued making threats toward the
teacher after the more serious trouble had
occurred and even while in court she APP
piled a vile epithet, and said: TN get you
yet"
From the Police Court she was taken to
Jail, where she has since given no trouble.
She made no denial of the charge, admit
ting that she had assaulted her teacher be-
cause the latter reported her for alleged
i'll treatment of a cat. She denied that
she was cruel to the cat, however. and said
she merely pushed the animal across the
dining table for fun

Parks and Spaces.

Mr.. John R. Colvin. chairman of the COM
mittee on public parks and spaces, offered
a resolution, which was adopted unanimous
ly and referred to the committee on rail-
roads.
The resolution was, in substance, as fol-
lows:
by the plan, adopted by the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia, for
laying out the proposed union station plaza
and the streets leading thereto, it is provid-
ed that Z street. east of LIST street, shall be
detected and united with ssachusetts
avenue at point to the south and east of
their present junction, thereby destroying
the only straight thoroughfare extending
from the. plaza in a due easterly direction,
and leaving only one direct outlet from
the plaza eastward.
I'VE believe, in view of the large amount
of east and west traffic at this point, at
this time and of the prospect of a very
large increase of such traffic after the COM
pletion and occupancy of the new station
1t would be detrimental to the interests Of
the citizens of Northeast Washington to
cut off this straight thoroughfare and di-
vert it into MasSa chusetts avenue.
1.-The proposed DETECTION of E street
would necessitate the acquisition of con-
siderable amount of private property, which
would entail large expense without re-
sulting in any conceivable advantage
therefore
1.-THE Northeast Washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION protests earnestly and vigorously
against much of said plan as provides
for the DETECTION of E street, and that a
copy of this resolution be presented to the
honorable Commissioners with request
that said plan be reconsdered with view
to the preservation of that important thor
oughfare in a straight line eastward from
the plaza"
President Tucker submitted resolutions
which were adopted, setting. forth that the
Northeast Washington Citizens Association
has learned with profound regret of the ter
ri
death of Edwin c. Bartlett. jr., the son of
a former member of this association who
strived, with others, to secure legislation
for the abolition of the dangerous and de-
structive grade crossings.
1.-The sincere sympathy of this association
is hereby extended to the bereaved parents
of the victim of the accident, and that
copy of these resolutions be transmitted to
them"
This was adopted by a rising vote, and
the meeting adjourned.

HAVE KEPT PROMISES.
Commissioners Reply to Northeast Citi-
zens' Criticism.

In connection with the statements made
at the Northeast Citizens Association last
evening to the effect that the Commission
ers have begun the narrowing of streets
without notifying the citizens, Commits
sioner Macfarland this morning stated that
no orders for narrowing streets anywhere
in the city have been issued by the Com
missioners subsequent to the public hearing
given November 80 to the northeast citi-
Zens.
At that hearing the Commissioners prom
Used to notify the citizens before beginning
work on reducing the width of streets. This
promise the Commissioners stated today
they have kept and intend to keep. The
order for the work on the street mentioned
at the meeting of the citizens association
last night, 1t is ascertained was issued Oc-
tober q, while Capt. Morrow was acting
Engineer Commissioner during the absence
of the Commissioners at st. Louis. The
setting of the curb the records OF the en-
gineer department show, was begun Oc-
tober 81 and the work on the roadway was
commenced November D. AS the hearing
was not held until November 30 the Com
missioners have not broken their promise
to the citizens.

Back from Lone Star State.

After spending fortnight in
the boil weevil stricken portions
of Texas, Mr.. H. A. Minis return
ed OH Saturday last. He placed a
large quantity of a very early
variety of cotton seed, but not as
many as be anticipated, many o.!
the large planters having already
supplied their needs. One would
naturally suppose that the Texans
would be detected over the pros
pect of making q crop of cotton
when the ubiquitous weevil stands
ready to attack it, but not 30. On
the contrary, the planters seem 20
be hopeful and in excellent spirits,
believing that they can mature a
full crop of cotton by July, which
is before any very considerable
damage is done by this pest. Tie
farmers realize that their only aal-
vation is planting very early
variety of cotton very early and
this they purpose doing. Some
will, for the first time in their
lives, use commercial fertilizers to
force an early maturity Of the
cotton.

Some are Impostors

While it is better TO err on the
side of helping the undeservine
than to turn deaf ear to the ap-
peals of the needy, yet, not every
one who begs and has the appear
ance of being in the Lowest depths
of ahject poverty and dire distress,
is actually in need. Some are i'm
posters and base de,eivers- The
Aiken Journal says:
"a pretended cripple and deaf
and dumb man has been playing
onlthe feelings of our community.
He is said to havo been seen talk
ing with another man when off
duty, and when be gets around the
corner his crippleness is suddenly
