CITIZENS MEET IN 9
NORTH WASHINGTON AsSoCIA-
TON IN SESSION.

The North Washington Citizens Associa-
ton held It's first fall meeting at Haislips
Hall, corner of 1st and streets, last even
ing, with a good attendance Several re-
poorts of an informal character were made.
President Clayton e. Emig, who has pre-
sided over the associations destinies ever
since its organization, three years ago.
called the meeting to order, and after the
preliminary business of the association was
completed delivered his annual address, in
which he called attention to the many ben
efits and improvements that have been Sc
cured by the section of the city over which
the association has Jurisdiction because of
thu work of the association and it's men,
bers, individually and collectively Pres
1Gent Emig spoke in part as follows:
The time has passed when our citizens
association can progress without united eff
fort of the individual members The
larger the attendance at these citizens as
ISOLATION meetings the greater will be the
influence of their action. was the theme OF
Commissioner Vests address at our last
meeting. Surely the Commissioners are
more likely to grant our requests If they
realize that it is the desire of the entire
community and not a fraction of 1t.
I'VE have asked the Commissioners of
the District to include In their annual es-
Innate to Congress the paving of Sd street
northwest from Florida avenue to Elm
street; I'd street northwest from u street
to Trumbull street: L street from LIST street
west 1910 feet: street from North Capitol
street west to LIST street We have been
assured that these requests would receive
consideration and I have every reason to
predict that the coming year VIII provide
appropriations not only for the above i'm
provements but will include sufficient to
pay for the opening of w and Albany
streets. Your president has about con-
cluded arrangements for opening a board
walk or foot passage from 1st street north
west to North Capitol street.
while our association has not directly
engaged in the construction of houses, do
contend that 1t has more than any other
agency contributed to the development of
this section in that it created a market
for the houses that have been built
Officers Elected.
The association then proceeded to the
election of the following officers for the en-
suing year, all being reflections: Pres
iGent. Clayton e. Emig first vice president,
Major Calvin Farnsworth; second vice
president. DR.. Alexander B. Cobey; secre-
tary Robert E. Logan; treasurer. Col.
Charles H. Ourand. President Emig briefly
thanked the association for its renewed
vote of confidence and pledged his earnest
efforts and best services toward helping in
everything that Is for the best interests of
the section of the city in which it is To-
Gated. Each of the other officers also ex-
pressed his thanks for the confidence re-
posed in him.

Boys Personal Bonds Taken.

Tobias Lee and Edward Bell, two small
boys, were defendants in the Juvenile Court
yesterday on a charge of turning in a false
alarm of fire from the corner of LIST and C
streets southwest. There was doubt as to
the part which Lee took in the matter and
he was allowed to go, but witnesses identi-
fed Bell and he was found guilty of the
charge. His mother promised to take him
to New York city next week, as she said
she was going to move there, and on this
showing Judge O'Neal took the personal
bonds of the boy.

MANY BICYCLE THEFTS
POLICE KEPT BUSY TRACING ROB-
Berries.

Bicycle thieves are unusually active in
this city and their conduct is giving the
police great amount of work Detectives
Trumbo and Grant. who have charge OF
this branch Of the service. are being kept
busy and so many thefts have been re-
ported recently that they have had their
hands more than full.
Fourteen complaints were received at
headquarters yesterday of thefts of bicy-
cles and the two detectives were engaged
upon the work last night until a late hour.
Unless the work of stealing wheels shows
decided falling off In the near future
Maj. Sylvester may find 1t necessary to
put additional men upon the work. Those
who reported losses of wheels yesterday
were John Cowell, Porter Morris. T. j..

Michaelis, Woodward & Lothrop, ]. j.
Schmidt, Joseph Peters, J. NJ. Williams,
Robert x. Tiller, William Hill, Harry VIII
son and William e. Goodwin.
Taken From Streets.
Most of the wheels were taken from the
streets where they had been left by the
riders without being locked or otherwise
guarded. Years ago almost every rider
carried a lock or chain and very few wheels
were taken, but during recent years this
precaution is seldom taken by any of the
owners of wheels. The police are very
much interested In the question OF the dis
position of the property and have asked
the police of other cities to assist them. /.
is believed that the wholesale thefts are
being committed by persons who are ship
ping the wheels out of the city to be sold.
Reports received at police headquarters
show that an unusually large number OF
bicycles are being ridden In the country
about Maryland and Virginia by people
who are apparently unable to purchase
even cheap second hand ones, and, the po-
lice believe, many of them are wheels that
were stolen in this city.
Traced to Other Cities
On several occasions, when bicycle thefts
were numerous. the police traced the stolen
wheels to other cities and country places
and arrested the thieves. It is an easy
matter for the thieves to take wheels to
the country or ship them to other cities to
sell. the police realize, and the work can
be done without patronizing the express
companies. Detectives have arrested a
number of persons in past years who took
wheels and rode Off upon them to the
country, and 1t is thought this method OF
getting the wheels out of the jurisdiction
may be resorted to by. some of those who
are now engaged in the work of committing
the thefts.z -.e -

Among the Arabs there is curious
legend to account for the ostrich's resi-

appointed" SO the story runs, ''all Gre
ated beings met together to decide up
on their respective order and preced-
ence. All went smoothly until the os-
trich, pleading it's inability to fly, dis
owned the birds and claimed to take
rank with the mammals. These, how
ever, would have nothing to say to
creature clothed not with fur, but with
feathers, while the birds, when the os-
trich went dejectedly back, repudiated
it also as traitor to it's race. But the
ostrich was equal to the occasion and
declared that, being neither mammal
nor bird, it must be an angel. At this
all the other animals Indignantly rush
ed upon the ostrich and drove it before
them into the desert, where it has lived
in solitude ever since, with no one to
contradict it,

"A man of the name of Moore had
been betting and lost over and over
sums aggregating several thousands Of
dollars on the game of faro. Finally,
as he turned to leave, the dealer asked,
Are you through? Moore halted, hest
tated, then, turning and taking from
his pocket a key, held it up and said.
L will bet you everything in my safe,
which this key unlocks, on the ten
How much is in your safe?' inquired
the dealer. L do not know, but it is

copied, the bet made, and Moore won

THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe Is
like fire, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmother backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always liber
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and is still in greater
household favor than any known rem
edy. But even without the application
of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure severe cold in quick time. 1t
will cure colds in children or grown peo-
Pile. It relieves the congested organs,
allays the irritation, and effectively stops
the cough. Any child will take it: 1t

devil about the town every night
known as "Mohocks," infested Lon

with lead at both ends and perpetrat-
ing shameful cruelties upon peaceable
passersby, wantonly wounding and
disfiguring the men and subjecting all
alike to atrOcious insults.
