liens Association was held the 9th instant

there had been two fires in the community
since the last meeting, the most recent OF
which completely destroyed the homes Of

the great distance of the run from Congress

time to render much service in saving the
burned dwellings, but that both the iremen
and police rendered very efficient service in
saving adjoining property.

several representatives was outlined and is
to be the subject of reports at subsequent
meetings, which are to be held monthly.

The remedy suggested for this condition
was the use of tagging now stored in the
various stock yards throughout the District,
and it was ordered that the Commissioners
be requested to supply the same a meas
ure of temporary relief.

Constitutionality Of Act Attacked.

The question of the constitutionality of
the act of Congress of May 49, 1896. was
yesterday argued before Il e Court of APP
peas.
The case is that of Alice Brooke, resi-
dent of Silver Hill, Md, who contends that
the assessment levied against her property
ofS s47O77 for connecting the same with
water and sewer mains is illegal, and that
the act referred to is unconstitutional, be-
cause it discriminates between resident and
nonresident owners of real estate in the
District of Columbia and because the act
creates unequal burdens and is not capable
of universal enforcement.
Attorneys George c. Gertman and John
Ridout argued the case for Miss Brooke
and CORPORATION Counsel Thomas and AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Stephens ap-
peared for the District of Columbia.

When the professional baseball player
goes home to his native village he Is a
man of mark-a local celebrity One
such professional long famous is ma
tive of a little college town not far
from Mason and Dixon's line. He left
his native place early to become a pro-
fessional pitcher and for years his fell
low townsfolk have watched his career
with interest When he has nothing else
to do he goes back to the village and
loafs comfortably while his old neigh
bors work.
Now and then he consents to TAX"
part in an out season ball game at
home. and then everybody who has
time turns out to watch him. His go
ings and Comings are chronicled by the
local paper Everybody in town knows
when he is to go South for winter prac.
tice and most persons who take an in
terest in baseball know all about his
engagements and the amount of his
pay.
1t is his pay and his leisure that i'm
press his neighbors most. 'Why, he gets
three times as much as college pro-
