EXTENSION OF T STREET.
Commissioners Suggest Amendments
to Pending BILL

With certain amendments which are sug-
gested the Commissioners in a report SUBJ
mitted to Congress today recommended ia
vorable action on Senate bill 1888, "Au-
thorizing the extension of street, for
merly w street. northwest"
The length of the extension proposed is
about 800 feet through Beatty & Hopkins
addition to Georgetown, and the report
sets forth that the advantage to be gained
In the extension OF this street Is that 1t
will provide an outlet from 35th street to
the car line on SD, or High, street, George
town. No such outlet exists at present,
a there is no east and west street between
It street, formerly street, and street
formerly Madison street. distance of ], 900
feet. Another reason for the extension
Is the probable extension of street east
of Rock creek from Massachusetts avenue
to Georgetown up the valley Immediately
north of street formerly U street and S
street, formerly Linthicum place. por-
ton of the land necessary for this extern
sion has been dedicated, near Lovers Lane
and such a highway as that proposed by
the extension of T street is desirable for
sewerage purposes as well as line of
travel.
"A part of the proposed extension Is
about on grade and about 500 will probably
cover the cost OF all grading necessary.
There are three old houses In the line of
extension, but they are in dilapidated con-
dition and IT would be advantageous to
this section of the District to have them
removed"
The bill as drafted provides that the en-
tire amount found as damages shall be
assessed as benefits the surrounding
property, but the Commissioners state that
they are opposed to such proposition. stat
ing their belief that the matter of assess
ment should be left entirely to the jury. 1t
Is said that those interested in the passage
of the bill will secure the dedication OF
about one-half the land necessary for the
extension and If this Is done. it is esti-
mated that the cost of condemning the bal
ance would be about $500

While a Resident of Richmond Mrs.

Known Women.

Letters have been received by local
friends from Mrs. Octavia X. Kibbey,
formerly one of the best known resi-
dents of Richmond, announcing her
marriage last August in New York to
DR.. Norman Wells Hillock of Column
bus, o. She is now making her home
with her husband in Seattle, Wash.
The marriage has been kept a Sc
cret for the past eight months, not
even the most intimate friends of the
couple being aware of the alliance
The secret was also kept from the
immediate families of Mrs. Kibbey
and DR.. Hillock.
For some time past Mrs. Kibbey
has been employed as the head of a
millinery department in a large Col
umbus dry goods house:
While a resident of Richmond Mrs
Kibbey was one of the social leaders
of this city and had an extensive &C
quaintence. Several years ago Mr.

went south where they remained a
short time and then REMOVED ITO Chi

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tubes. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

culars, free.

CRIMINAL CHARGE IS AIRED
Winchester Man Who Recen tIy was
Defendant in Wayne Circuit Court
Again on Trial, this time for AS
sauIt and Battery.



Portland, Ind, March 27-"Bud"
F. Irwin, of Winchester, is on trial in
the circuit court on a charge of as
sault and battery with intent to MUIR
der Ed Seamans on May 20 last, in
Winchester. Great trouble was ex-
perienced in obtaining a jury, and
this task was not finished and the
taking of evidence begun until late
this afternoon.
Irwin is charged with having shot
Seamans in a quarrel which arose
over the latter having signed remon-
strances against the saloon business
in which Irwin was engaged. The
shot took effect in the heel and made
a slight flesh wound. The case was
sent here some time ago on a change
of venue.
1t is likely that the trial will take
about four days. A civil suit for
damages by Seamans was recently
compromised in the Wayne circuit
court for $400, after the plaintiff had
submitted his case.

money.
Must Have Good Officials.
Prof. Hodgin says he is assuming
that statesmen and experts are at
the head of the treasury, not fools.
Paper money should not be over
issued nor undersigned. The issue
of national currency shuld be entire
ly under the control of the govern
ment and national banks should be
debarred from issuing it.
The character. quantity, security
and redemption should all be under
government control.
Panics arise in the contraction of
the currency and this would be done
away with. by the use of paper money
as there would be no margins in 1t
for speculation among the money
kings of the country. BY govern
ment control it could regulate the
output of money and therefore avert
panics which is caused by the f1uc-
tuations in the gold and silver. The
government could control the amount
of circulation which should ba so
close to the output that money would
come about in but one way. |. e., the
government issue the money and de-
termine its value. which is the best
way to secure the value assigned to
it. This security is firmer. than
when issued by state, individual or
corporation"
Prof. Hodgin would have the treas
ury keep a limited amount OF gold
and silver bullion in the treasury in
order to redeem the paper at any
time.
The security of uniformity in the
money systems of the country can
not fuctuate.

Differs With Others.

"The gold and silver coins used to-
day have an intrinsic value in
themselves and are useful in many
things, but the value will fluctuate
and some parties will suffer in the
business between people of the same
country" Here Prof. Hodgin diff
fers from Prof. Ely of the University
of Wisconsin, the great western econ
omist, in that he says our money
should not have an intrinsic value.
international trade must also he
taken into account. The greater
part of the exports and imports are
regulated by exchange. Money and
products being the things used in the
settlement of balances. Money in
international exchange is always rec
ognized at its bullion value in the
country to which 1t is sent. This
fact that the the settlements are
made In bullion, brings up the fact
that coined money. Is useless. There
fore the great CO. Of cN;r:-s rlnnn,'
is an entire loss TO the United States.
Bars of pure gold and silver should
be used In international exchange.
The best system for national cur.
rency would be the use of paper mon.
ey. Divisibility is one of the re-
quirements of good money material
and in this paner money excells as 1t
