certainly Is true for the characteristics
OF the lion are now being shown in

streets Is depIerai,ie. At the street
crossings the mud is three and four
inches deep. At the corner of North

evidence of any street paving Is q

is generally eoveved with mud To
add to this the motormen. it seems
in most cases aim 20 make the passen-

IN the rear Of tTsis stone slab. Several
days ago the rect cleaning depart

brushed all the mud on First street

Humorous Situation.

A very humorous situation occurred
on one OF the Anacostia cars last week
al the corner of Eleventh and G streets
southeast. One Of the negro special
policemen appointed for the inaugural
ton bearded the car and refused to pay
his fare tut told the conductor that
he was policeman. The conductor de-
nauded to see his badge. but he like
wise refused to show that. When the
conductor attempted to put him off the
ear the negro struck him across the
hand with his billy and injured his
fingers badly. Finally at the Eighth
street crossing he was forcibiy elected
from the car by the switehman sta
Toned at the crossing. The negro was
held until a regular officer appeared.
when he was hurried off te answer a
charge of disorderly conduct

Members Were Entertaining.

Owing 70 the fact that SO many mem
bers OF The North Washington Citizens
Association were entertaining visitors
during The Inauguration. the regular
monthly meeting was postponed until
the 18th instant. at which lime impor-
tant matters viii come before the assoc
citation fer discussion or action.
Prominent speakers will address the
association. The place of meeting Is at
Haislip's Hall, at the corner of First
and V streets northwest This asso-
citation formerly met at st. Martin
Hail. where the North Capitol and Eek
ington Citizens Association now meets.
Complaints are continually made by
the frenen Of No. II engine house In re-
gard to tho condition of their house It
Is new time for the citizens of Bloom
ingdale to take q hand In this matter
and provide some comfort or onetlling
with which the men might be able to
enjoy themselves while lounging about
the engine house. This engine house
needs attention, which fact the authori-
ties do not realize. By way of gugges-
ton an act which the citizens near en-
CINE house No. g. In Southeast Washing
ton, did for that house is in point. BY
popular subscription enough money was
raised to buy q large pool table. This
table was presented to the firenlen, who
are now able TO while away some of
their idle hours A similar gift might
be given TO our engine house. It would
not take much from each person If a
large number would subscribe to this
good cause All that is needed is any
energetic man TO take il in hand and
collect from the other neighbors. Very
few would refuse TO give dollar, or
even more.
