ANNUAL MEETING HELD.

Officers for Ensuing Year.

The annual meeting of the Georgetown
Citizens Association was held Monday
night In the COOPERATIVE building. on 32d
street. First Vice President George w. King
occupying the chair.
1t was announced that encouraging prog
ress has been made by the promoters of
the Rock creek tunnel project. In that
connection a resolution was adopted to
the effect that '.the association heartily
indorse the bills looking forward to the
improvement of Rock creek as the most i'm
portant in Georgetown" and that the Dis
trict Commissioners be earnestly requested
to report favorably on the proposed i'm
proyement, and to use their good offices to
further the bills before Congress, in order
that some action may be taken at the pres
ent session
Following the announcement by Rev. Zed
II. Copp that there was every reason to
believe the curfew bill will be enacted into
a law, officers for the ensuing year were
elected. as follows: President, Mr.. Smith
Thompson; vice president Mr.. George w.
King second vice president, NTH. r. Gill
bert; treasurer, Mr.. William M. Dugal; Sec

heads painted in gay tints and designs.
That is a new idea also, which had never
seen before and l am told that it is pecu-
har to Jeypore The bullock carts. which
furnish the only other means of transport
tation. are also gayly painted. The de-
signs are sometimes rude and the execution
bears evidence of having been with more
zeal than skill The artist got the giddiest
colors he could find, and laid them on with
cut regard to time or expense. The wheels,
bodies and tongues of the carts. and the
caponies that cover those in which women
are carried, are Nightmares of yellowS,
greens. blues, reds and puppies, like cheap
wooden toys
A great deal of cloth is manufactured
here, both cotton and silk; most of it in lit
tie shops opening on the sidewalk, and it is
woven and dyed by hand where everybody
can see that the work is honestly done. AS
you walk along the business part of town
you will see women and children holding
long straps of red, green, orange, purple
or blue cloth-sometimes cotton and some
times silk fresh from the watts of dye, out
OF the dust. in the sunshine, until the colorS
are scarcely fastened in the fibers. Even
the men paint their whiskers in fantastic
colors 1t is rather startling to come UP
against an old gentleman with Il long beard
the color of an orange or spitZenberg APP
pie. You imagine they are lunaticS, but
they are only pious Mohammedans anxious
to initiate the prophet who, according to
tradition. had red whiskers.
About half of the space of the four wide
streets is given up to sidewalk trading. and
rows OF booths, two or three miles in
length, occupy the curbstones, with all
kinds of goods: everything that anybody
could possibly want fruits. vegetables, gro
ceries, provisions. boots and shoes. ready
made clothing. hats and caps, cotton goods
and every article of wearing apparel you
can think of. household articles, furniture,
drugs and medicines, jewelry. stationery,
toys-everything is sold by these sidewalk
merchants, who squat upon piece of mat
ting with their stock neatly piled around
them.
One feature of the street life In Jeypore.
however, is likely to make nervous people
apprehensive. The maharaja and other
rich men keep panthers. leopards, wildcats
and other savage beasts trained for tiger
hunting and other sporting purposes, and
allow their grooms to lead them around
through the crowded thoroughfares just as
If they were poodle dogs. 1t is true that
the brutes wear muzzles, but one doesn' t
like the casual way in which they creep up
behind you and sniff at the calves of your
legs.

Another, who looked the picture of health, said
he never ate meal without taking Stuart

pleased and when he pleased without fear of
sleepless night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he subject to

Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

which covered a wide range concerning the
use of native troops in the dependencies In
which Messrs. Teller. Stewart, Spooner,
Foraker, Daniel. Carmack, Money, Morgan.
and Quarles participated. In the course Of
his remarks Mr. Foraker said that any In
timation that the President desired to use
tho Porto Rican troops for an improper
purpose was unfounded The President, he
said. had no knowledge OF the proposed in
crease before 1t was Incorporated In the
bill.
Mr.. Teller's amendment was rejected. and
the provision for three battalions was re-
tanned.
The Senate also returned to the commit
tee amendment Transforming the adjutant
